have you tried stripping out any filters, modifications to attributes, Essential Graphics, etc that may be on the sequence, and do you have any plug-ins installed?

I don’t really see the advantage of this thing. Looks like a lot of proprietary equipment, un-proven equipment at that, that provides a small amount of image benefit over the EX1/EX3 or a dozen other cameras.
$250 for a “red-grip”. If one of our guys said we needed that we would certainly be telling them to get a grip all right!
Filming is like stills photography, it’s not the gear, it’s the shooter and until Red get some kit on the ground that everybody can buy/rent and test then it might as well be vaporware.

hang on there snippy, the car analogy was aimed at the “why upgrade” brigade and the link to the XDCam driver pages points out the root cause of the potential issue.
If you don’t like it then don’t bloody well read it!

well, a Model T Ford got you from A to B so you could say that worked just fine so why upgrade it. You know what though, a BMW M6 is a lot faster, safer, more comfortable and since it’s not American it can go round corners!!
;o)
The XDCAM driver page doesn’t mention OSX10.5 so it may or may not be an issue

Just add noise, intermittent blur, some image roll, take away any clarity or sharpness in the footage, add useless timecode information, date, etc and blow out the exposure.
no plugin needed just a bit of time.

No you can’t, and time lapse that isn’t done in camera isn’t time lapse as you have just pointed out so this sentence has served as nothing more than positive re-enforcement for your own position on this situation!

yep, re-shoot it all with a Sony F900R and a good lens ;o)
if it’s soft then it’s probably going to stay soft. Video resolution is pretty low compared to stills photography (where photo sharpening is pretty limited) so there is not a lot of information to sharpen.

export your movies, then shove them into compressor. more reliable anyway doing it that way because you can batch process.

I’m sorry if I’m missing something here but is this DVD a Cow product? And if so how can you possibly have a review of it on your own website?

iTunes is excellent at video playback for just what you are doing. Since iTunes leverages QT then the quality is exactly the same.
It does have playback problems if you allow iTunes to copy the video to it’s library folder. No reason why it should it’s just one of those things.
Make sure your clips are set to ‘high quality’ and the display resolution is correct (like 1024,576 for 16:9 PAL).
Been using iTunes for ages for just this type of video playback on plasma screens and Mac Mini with hi-def animations in QT. FC Server is overkill for something so simple.
