It works nicely with our DSR40 (PAL). Connect the Y out from the Media 100 HD cable to the Composite in of the DSR40, connect the Ref out from Media 100 HD to the Ref in of DSR 40. In Media 100 HD Preferences->Video output set Ref. Out to SD Genlock and Analog to SD Composite. This should work.
If this does not work, are you sure that it is not the tape or the player that has a problem (like a dirty video head)?

Do you have audio on the tape (maybe a stupid question, but who knows)? And is your audio in also set to FireWire? Do you see audio levels in the audio mixer? Or do you get the “yellow” boxes for the audio channels in the edit suite while digitizing? Have you set the correct audio sample frequency (matching your tapes frequency; although this should switch automatically when a different sample rate is detected)…

Most of the guesses I read about the Apple->Intel move suggest that Apple is first switching its Laptop line and the consumer products (everything that uses a G4 today) to Intel, with XServe and PowerMacs being the last systems that are going to Intel (in ~2 years). So while 2 years are not that long there is still much time to get jobs done on a G5 system. And Media 100 always was able to deliver new versions that supported new OSes and CPUs quickly (usually much quicker than FCP or AVID), and I think this will also be true for the Intel switch. Apple is really trying to make this transition easy for developers…

You should turn off the “put drives to sleep” option in Energy saver settings.

This sounds as if your source (from the LaserDisc) is originally from film or from PAL material. If possible post e.g. 10 frames of the original digitized media somewhere or send me a mail and I

Either you really have a field-order problem or you are working in the wrong resolution. Have you specified the correct field order in the Compressor presets? And are you working in720*486/720*576? Can you post a little segment of the original Media 100 file and the encoded file that shows this problem?

[Lukkee Chong] “My efforts in getting the stock card supplied from Apple, the ATI 9600xt or the Nvidia cards supported by Media100 as per the peripherals guide, has not been successfull. Any ideas anyone??”
Either try to grab one of these cards via eBay, or buy the single-slot 30″ Cinema-display capable card from Apple (I forgot the name of it). Graphics cards are much less of a cause for problems these days than they were some years ago.

[PlausibleEnigma] “Its Media 100 i v. 10.2.4 running on OSX.”
Um, I doubt it is Media 100 v 10.2.4. Which version of Media 100 i, OSX and which CPU do you use? Did you install anything new lately? Have you checked your media drives with something like DiskWarrior?

I think you should check your video cabling. This looks somewhat like if you have connected the Composite output of your deck to the Y in of your iFinish and you are digitizing in Component mode. So definitely check your component cabling from the deck to the iFnish system. And for a test, connect the Composite out of your deck to the Composite in of the iFinish and digitize in Composite.

[Jack Morgan] “Has anyone gotten an error message stating: ” Cannot play because clip was recorded with a newer version of Media 100.” What’s up with that ???”
That happens if you
– have recorded the clip with a newer version of Media 100 😉
– have a bad (damaged) media file or drive
– the performance of your drives is not fast enough, e.g. because a very full or fragmented media drive
