[Bobby Mosaedi] “what will i need to do to achieve this? can i connect it to both macs at the same time? or will i need to get a fibre channel switch and seperate computer with xsan?”
You need a FC switch to connect more than one computer to each XServe RAID channel. The qLogic 5200 are quite good for that. And you need a SAN management software like either XSAN or e.g. FibreJet. The big benefit of FibreJet is that you can install and maintain it by yourself, and that it it much cheaper (overall) than XSAN, since you don

[Nickel] “Basically, I went to each project folder and Media 100 folder (prefs, etc.) and changed the ownership.”
Todd, just remember that this has nothing to do with upgrading your OS, this is only important if you copy preference or document folders from one user to another under OSX. All pref files and folders are “owned” by the user that created them, and if you copy them from one ~/Library/preferences folder to another you also have to change the ownership.

Or get a Behringer Ultramatch Pro, which is much cheaper and unlike the FlyingCow does AD and DA conversion at the same time. Works well for monitoring, and for I/O most sources have digital connections anyway these days.

[Nathan Troester] “I can’t seem to find this info at all on Media 100’s website. Does anyone know if Media 100i v8 will work with the P6000 or Vincent cards?”
There are 3 main versions of Media 100 i cards: The original Vincent card, the Vincent 601 card and the P6000 card. The P6000 is the newest one and the one you will get when buying a Media 100 i these days. The P6000 are compatible with the newest version of the software. More informations about which kind of boards are tested in which CPU/Media 100 i combination can be found in the latest CPG.

[Jim Pawlicki] “So help me..if I am to upgrade to Media 100 HD I will need…??
a G5
new HD board
new drives
new monitor
HD monitor
Anything else? What is the cost here as compared to just going FCP 5.0?”Yes. For Media 100 HD you will need a G5 and the Media 100 HD package (software & board). And as soon as you start working in HD you need fast drives (XServe RAID or other FC array), since right now Media 100 HD only works in uncompressed in HD resolution. HD monitor is probably a good idea, but not 100% necessary, since Media 100 HD can output a SD signal simultaneously. So while working in HD you still can e.g. monitor your program on an SD broadcast monitor for color accuracy and on a CinemaDisplay with a HDSDI->DVI converter for HD resolution.
The costs are more or less the same for both ways if you want to work with uncompressed HD material. For FCP you will also need a new G5, the software, a Hardware board for I/O and a fast FC-Array for getting data rates necessary for uncompressed HD video. You also could work in HDV or DVCProHD codec natively without needing such a fast array, but as soon as you start working on the picture you will make compromises in terms of video quality (HDV) when doing this, or you have a lower resolution than HDCam (DVCProHD).
