[Editology] “On initial installation, Media 100 recommended only 2 Gigs of ram in the G5….. Has that changed at all? Can I put more RAM in for other programs ala AE….? “
The point is that configurations with more than 2GB RAM never were oficially tested by Media 100. Our systems have between 2GB and 4.5GB of RAM, and the ones with more RAM don

It has been discussed in this thread and seems to be a bug in V8.2.3. Hopefully an update will be out soon.

On your old system, locate your Bins, Programs (Timelines) and Projects in the Finder. Copy them to some kind of transfer media (FireWire Drive, CD-ROM, whatever…) or copy them to the new system across the network.
Do the same for the Media Files of your project. On your Media drive there is a folder named “xxx Media”, where xxx is your project name. Copy this folder to the new system also.
Open your project file on the new system. A “relink media” usually happens automatically and your material should be online then. -
[carlos azm] “I just recently upgraded to M100 version 8.2.3 and I have notice that now when I try to export a program to After effects v.6 I get a XML file. When I import the flie into AE6, all I get is a folder with all the clips but no longer a composition with the clips in the same order as I have them in the timeline in Media 100. How can I get them into a composition as before?”
There *should* be a composition somewhere within the folder with all the footage clips. Are you sure that there is no Comp in the folder?

[Bobby Mosaedi] “is this a limitation of media100 hd?”
It is a limitation, or a feature, as you like 😉
Due to a hardware design you get while acquiring only the sound on the channels you use as an input. If you acquire on 3/4 you get the out on 3/4 during acquire. On 1/2 you will get the signal you send in on 1/2, even if you acquire 3/4. So don

[Jeffrey Stoner] “any other info that would be helpful? the resulting image looks great, but the image will “twitch” to the right every few seconds. it happens randomly, every few seconds.”
Can you see it when you step through the rendered movie frame by frame? Can you post a short sequence somewhere to have a look at it?

[Sheeplove] “Should I opt for acquiring with DVCPRO50 SD or take the plunge & try HD? I have no experience of downconverting in Media100 HD & would appreciate any advice. Is the process lossy or introduce artifacts?”
Of course the process is “lossy”, since a big amount of your recorded resolution will not be digitized. But it looks very crsip and sharp; the downconverted signal from Media 100 HD really looks very good.
When doing HD work we usually start with “offline” compressed SD material, downconverted by Media 100 HD. We feed in a HDSDI signal and downconvert it to SD on acquire. Then we edit in SD 16:9, and depending of what we have to deliver we reacquire either in SD uncompressed (Media 100 HD 10bit codec), or at HD 1080i. But even if you start working with downconverted SD material you can easily reacquire in HD, and even all titles from Graffiti will translate to HD nicely.
[Sheeplove] “Will the downconvert take forever?”
There are 3 ways of downconverting. You can feed in an HDSDI signal that will get downconverted on acquire if you want (realtime), or you can acquire a 1080i HD signal and work in HD on your timeline; this can be downconverted to SD automatically on playback/mastering all the time in realtime (either as 16:9, or letterboxed or cropped depending on how you set it up). These 2 options are realtime all the time. The 3rd way would be to acquire in HD and drop the HD material on an SD timeline (or vice versa; drop SD material on a HD timeline). Then the HD material will get reconformed to SD by processing. It is still not slow but definitely not realtime, and therefore probably the slowest workflow.

Does the Keyspan still show up in the hardware preferences?
Try deleting the “Current Configuration” and your active configuration file from the YourHomefolder->Library->Preferences->Media 100 folder
