SDI input is only possible for HD (and of course SD) resolutions right now

[Bart Sibrel] “1) I have a 2008 version of Media 100 HD on a Mac Pro with 10.5.8 . I just came out of semi-retirement to edit a corporate video, and was wondering if there was a way to burn a DVD of the program internally from the program timeline to my computer’s DVD drive?”
There is no built-in way to burn from Media 100 to a DVD burner. You either have to export your timeline and use a 3rd party app (iDVD, DVDStudio Pro, Encore,…) for that. Or you need a DVD recorder that works like a video deck to record your output from your Media 100 system to a disc.
[Bart Sibrel] “2) My program only has dissolves as effects (Fast FX) and I do color correction EQ on every scene, so even though the program plays these dissolves and color correction without rendering, when I exported the program to a Quicktime file, it forced a rendered all of the the dissolves and picture EQ settings. Subsequently, all of these scenes turned black. When I went to the media hard drive to see there were “effects” files rendered, there were, yet I still had a program with all black video. What am I doing wrong & where did my video go?”
Hmm, this sounds like a bug. What codec did you render to (under Media 100 Suite->Project Settings->Codecs)? And what version of Media 100 are you using?

How did you back them up? From where did you recover/restore them? To me it looks like the whole QuickTime Atom structure is missing from the files, which describes the content/resolution/codec and everything else about the content of the files. Without these QuickTime does not know anything about the content and the structure of the supplied data, and it would be very hard (if not impossible) to reconstruct the content.

What about your “Media destinations”? Are they set up correctly?
You could try creating a new project and create a new title there. Probably the project is trying to create the title file in a folder it has no write access to. -
[Jim Wiseman] “I have a new MacPro 2013 Hexacore running 10.9.2 with Media 100 Suite 2.1.5. Has anyone tried loading Pro Video Formats 2.0? If so, any problems?
Also OSX 10.9.4 or 10.9.5? Any problems with those? What version of Quicktime are you running?”
We are running with Pro Video Formats 2.0 and 10.9.5 without issues. QuickTime is part of Mac OS X these days, as far as I know you cannot update it anymore separately from the OS.
But since you have a USB3-capable Mac, I think the wisest thing would be to have an external USB3 drive with a clone of your boot “drive” (e.g. via Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper, DiskUtility or something similar) before you install these updates. This way you can get back into a working condition easily in case something goes wrong.

Assuming that you want to edit in 1920×1080, and crop the result: you can do that during export. When you choose export as other->QuickTime movie, you can set an export size in the export options. There you can enter your size manually, and you can choose to crop the image to preserve the aspect ratio. I would suggest a short test to see if your result looks as you expect.

Great.

You can delete the bins and programs from the project window (or create a new project), and drag and drop bins and programs (you can select multiple) from the Finder on top of the project window. This way they will show up all without having to open them one by one.

We work with Mavericks and Media 100 2.1.5 heavily across multiple systems; most of them with Aja hardware, but some also with BlackMagic. No Matrox system running right now. But no crashes on rendering.
One thing you could to do see if it is related to your Matrox box is to uninstall the MXO Driver.
What kind of storage do you use? When we upgraded to Mavericks quite some time ago we had an issue with one of our storage arrays, which has been fixed by an driver update. -

(Video shows Media 100 running under Yosemite).”This is actually not the way I did it, but also a good way to test Media 100. It would be great if we could get some feedback in case something does not work as expected under Yosemite, in case somebody wants to do some additional tests. As I said, I did an initial look at the Yosemite situation, which looked promising. Unfortunately I have to wait for drivers for our MetaSAN storage system for 10.10 before I can do “real” work on Media 100 on Yosemite, and I am not sure when they will be available.
