I’ve always had great success with the LaCie 2TB. Drives are like Scotch…everyone has their distinct taste. Whatever you do try and get 800FW at the very least…internal SATA is the best bet, but not knowing what box you’re on…

I like to see the color fill for buttons or word buttons anti-aliased for one thing. Also, would be nice to easily replace a menu or track without having to re-author links, as long as the new version had all the same linking info (ie. chapters, frames). Often I catch a spelling error and have to re-author from scratch after recompressing the fixed movie.

I could take or leave Blu-Ray authoring…not sure I want to invest a lot of energy into a limited lifespan workflow.

With the magnetic feature…will that impact multi-caming where I have one audio source and switch video against it? Currently you have to disengage the audio and only allow video to switch, but will that override the magnetic feature?

How will 64bit work with Final Cut Server 1.5?

No more transcoding, means larger files or smaller…say with AVCHD vs ProRes?

Holding out for Compressor, DVDSP upgrades…despite advances in delivery, our business model is slowly (emphasis on slowly) moving away from DVD, but not anytime soon.

Andy, you saved my sanity yet again. Thanks.
