The process-power should be their to convert the on-screen video, what-ever fromat, to something a Kona can handle. This would make ANY video on screen play though the videocard

I think it will take QUITE SOME TIME for apps to “halt PPC-support”. Concidering software has to sell to live, and even a year after the intel-swich has started 95% av all customers will still run PPC hardware. No, the transition will take quite some time – a few years I’d predict.

Very true and sad that they put the card to sleep.
However, a software cpu/gpu approach is the future compared to propriatary hardware. There you should be able to get ALOT of realtime on todays high-end machines. Apple just has the get the FCP Engine up to speed.
As a guy on the IBC-floor said “FCP still runs on old DNA, what and see what will happen in the near future

I wouldn’t be surpriced if FCP does this in the next version. Perhaps not SD/HD in the same timeline since that is really hardware demading (heck, avid wants something like 10 000 dollors for their xDNX HD-hardware). But I reckon this shouldn’t be a problem for FCP to handle “soon”.
Input anything, output almost anything (HDV might be hard). Shouldn’t be THAT big of an issue.
Lets se what NAB

We did a 1 1/2 hour show a few weeks ago where the Protools-guy insisted that I sent the material to tape. Finally he tried to import my QuickTime-file and it worked great he said.
For offlineing we used:
– 360×288 at 25fps
– JPEG Medium/50%
– QuickTimeFor finalmixing we upped it to full rez PAL, JPEG Medium.
The files turn out okey size-wise. For the full PAL we’re talking about 1.5 MB/s and very good quality for even lipsyncing. If this is the best-way, I don’t no. I exported the program close to 2X realtime from the editing suite, didn’t have to hassle with tapes and the protools guy said “it imported really quickly” (whatever that means, 1 1/2 hours material always is 1 1/2 hours of material :)).

Very strange I must admit. I don’t think my last workingstation (Dual 1Ghz G4 with a SCSI-RAID, softwarestriped) suffered from this.

My hopes are they fix the horrible multi-thredding issue in After Effects. It doesn’t really shine on multi CPU or mutli core (especially not quad core) machines today.
We’ll find out soon enough – whenever Adobe releases After Effects 7 that is 🙂

However, 16 bpp will take alot longer to render. Some codecs I reckon also do support direct output from AE from 16-bit (AE will here use 8-bit). Also, some filters will pull your sequence down to 8-bit sometimes.

Well, I tried that and get a nice black screen with audio
