[sformby] “If I find a cheap used P6000 card, and install OS X and 8.2.3, will I see a severe UI speed decrease?”
A G4 1.1GHz should be okay. Not great but okay speed-wise when using Media 100 i. Of course a dual G4 or a G5 would be nicer.
[sformby] ” Will After Effects rendering, Bitvise rendering, etc. stay the same or get worse?”
AE and BitVice rendering will be much quicker if you use the software codec, since the Media 100 hardware codec that is used under OS9 is a major speed limitation.
[sformby] “Its been so long that I can’t remember, what are the differences (speed/reliability) between the Vincent 601 (flashed to do 720) and the P6000?”
In terms of speed there is no difference between P6000 and 601, as far as I know. The only thing is that the P6000 do 601 formats correctly, and that they can accept SDI and DV daughter cards. Our P6000 boards are extremely reliable.
One thing you should think about though (like everybody thinking about buying something right now) is to wait till NAB. I think Media 100 will announce some news there, and maybe there is something that could be interesting for you. I don

Media 100 i V8.1.1 does not work with OSX 10.3 or QuickTime 7. You need to upgrade to V8.2.3.

Have you exported from FCP as self-contained or as Media 100 i codec? HD is able to play back FCP DV files in realtime without rendering…

What version of HD are you using? We have transferred various DV PAL files from FCP as self-contained DV files to Media 100 HD without seeing the field reverse problem. I think we have done that in 10.1.3, haven

[Michael C.] “Anyway… I need to take an old M100i program (640×480 and 44116Hz) which is completey offline and manually replace each edit with new media (720×486 and 44100) that is already digitized into the M100HD system.”
Actually I would recommend to always work in 48kHz, since all digital decks (DigiBeta, DVCPro,…) record at 48kHz.
[Michael C.] “(I don’t want to go back to the tapes and re-dig using command/option/control because all the media I need is already on the system). So how would I do this?”

[macmauro] “But i’m using dvcam 184 min. tapes too, pal system, could this be a problem?”
This should not be a problem. We get 184 minute pal tapes from time to time and don

How is your DV player connected? Via FireWire? Or via RS422? If you

[Michael C.] “So the question is, is Fibre Channel drives the way to go and does the M100 HD work with them?”
Yes, absolutely. Only make sure that your RAID us fast enough for uncompressed HD. E.g. an XServe RAID with 14 drives and RAID50.

Worked with it yesterday and it seemed to be stable. But since it is only out for a day this is not really an in-depth test.

To check if your field settings are right you can step through the fields in Media 100 HD. Use the Command-RightArrow button to step forward a field or Command-RightArrow to step back a field. When doing this you should see pretty easily if your motion is field correct.
