Have you used Disk Utility to format the drive?

[Gary Milligan]

I don’t know what platform you’re using and I have zero knowledge of Windows, but on Mac OSX you can easily change the display of web text using the ‘command +’ keystroke to increase the text size and ‘command -‘ to decrease. It certainly comes in handy for those times when us ‘over forty’ types load pages with small text.

Thanks for your input. I’ll pass it on to my friend.

Thanks for the suggestion Floh. However, I’m currently in the middle of a project (using my G4 system) and I don’t feel I can afford the time to ‘test’ until I get through this one, which may be in a couple of weeks or so. I also have to do some system layout re-configuring before I actually switch over to using the Mac Pro. Perhaps within that time the official release of the software will happen. I do appreciate your response though… thanks again.

Thanks again. I guess that could explain why the board doesn’t show up as a Media 100 product in the system profiler.

[Gary Milligan]

Just to be sure… it’s the AJA board that’s not being recognized by the computer. I realize the Media 100 software is not Universal yet and I was under the impression that the software will still work under ‘Rosetta’ and using a Mac Pro wasn’t an issue. I also realize that the compatible peripherals guide hasn’t tested a Mac Pro yet but my intuition says it should work. Am I wrong?

[Gary Milligan]

Thanks for the quick reply, SoftHarbor… it’s not what I wanted to hear though. I’ll have to speak with my re-seller tomorrow to find out why he never said anything about that when I made the order. Obviously making a sale is more important then keeping the customer.

Thanks again.

This one got me too! It took a while but I found it had to do with the length of the name of the title. There seems to be a limit to the number of characters one can use when naming titles.

I went through exactly the same things last year and the answer for me as well was a “Lite On”. I found it has one of the easiest interfaces (other than typing in custom names… but I guess that’s common to most of the set-tops out there). Mine is the Lite On LVW 5005. I use it mainly for client previews. If I author on DVD SP then I use Media 100i x/s ref out to BitVice. I also use it with a tape source deck (whatever format) to make time-code burn copies of field orig. for Producer screening dubs. On of the best $200 I’ve spent.

Glad to hear it! Now I feel like I’ve done my good deed for the day…
