Hi Tim,
after some tries I was able to reproduce your problem. It is related to the “Draft quality” setting in the Media settings. If you want to render titles it seems like you have to deselect “Draft quality” to make sure your title gets rendered okay. I haven

Do you have “Vertical render” turned on? This is probably the arrow you getting from vertical render…

It works OK for me. You could send me a timeline with a title that shows the problem (only the timeline, no media files). And tell me your media settings.

Media 100 HD and sw use a new color coding for realtime/non-realtime settings. Blue dissolves with a yellow bar on top are realtime as long as your CPU is fast enough, and they should play fine in your timeline. If you use “render all” the system should not render the dissolves. Here is a document explaining the new color coding in the timeline.

HDR stands for High Data Rate or something similar. At some point back in time Media 100 only supported 4:1 compression (150/180k NTSC/PAL), and to get the best result with this compression you were able to choose between different compression algorythms. I think with V2.5 or V3 Media 100 introduced HDR and compression up to 2:1 (300/360k). This only works with the HDR setting, all the other compression settings still went only up to 150k, although the data rate could be set higher. So HDR was the recommended format since at least V3, and with the switch to V8 and OSX the “old” settings are only there for legacy reasons. There is no reason why you should not work in HDR; in fact you will get a much better image quality.

Do you use BorisFX from within the Media 100 i timeline? Then make sure that your Codec settings in Media 100 i are all set to HDR. The other codec formats can cause these problems.

I still would recommend installing the software codec instead of the Transcoder. You are able to write to Media 100 i codec as well as read Media 100 i files with Alpha channels. Both features are not supported with the Transcoder.

Rithg now with the beta version of the software you cannot use FireWire I/O. But on the Media 100 sw page it says: “Although it currently does not capture or output to tape without the HDX video I/O board, all the other functionality of the Media 100 HD is there and ready to use. As we continue to develop the Media 100 sw, it will support Firewire capture and output from a range of DV and HDV decks”
So FireWire support is planned and hopefully will arrive soon. -
What is happening if you try to open the movie in QuickTime player? Have you tried installing the Software codec?
