[Naomi Greenfield] “many of them say they are unable to transfer due to Error code -36? Anyone else get this? Any suggestions on a better way to transfer media from internal to external?”
Had this happen to a FW drive about a month ago… a few days later it finally gave up and I had to have it replaced under warranty.
Backup to a different drive and get this one repaired or replaced… it will eventually die on you.

Does the IO not have an S-Video out… or are you already using it?
You can get a cable that has two BNCs on one end (Luminance and Color) and an S-Video connector on the other end.

[JeremyG] “Cool, thanks for the updates, Harley. You can most definitely capture in AJAs v210 (or 10 bit RGB for that matter). But you have to make your own easy setup to do so. When making the capture preset simply choose the 10-2vuy or 10-rgb codecs. Make sure to set up your timeline to that codec as well.
So are you saying the v210 and 2vuy are the same codec? Please clarify.
No, I didn’t have to render when bringing the v210 clip into the uncompressed 10 bit timeline… it cut right in.

[JeremyG] “the material I worked with was shot on an SDX 900 and has a native frame size of 720×480, so I scaled down the y value to 75% (leaving the x value at 100%).
My source is 720 x 486 IMX Anamorphic. Did the same 75% scale and everything looks great.
[JeremyG] “Also, with that codec, I think all of your material has to be captured in FCP in that codec before taking it out to AE. I have yet to try this workflow, but I’m curious about it and will use it in another week when a similar project comes through the door just like we are talking about now. Let me know how it works out for you.”
I captured the material via Uncompressed 10 bit, made a reference file of the final color corrected video elements and brought that into After Effects. Rendered the letterbox movie out using the AJA v210 codec. As a small test, I took off the scaling and rendered out a 2 second section using the AJA v210 codec and cut that piece into the original timeline. I cannot see a color or gamma shift in that complex scene. You may want to try that test yourself. I don’t think you can capture using the AJA v210 codec… unless it’s called something else in the capture settings.
Hope this helps… let me know how you make out… email me directly if you wish at harley@brassorchid.com.

[Harley Michailuck] “I believe it’s call AJA 2Yuv Codec”
It’s actually the AJA Kona v210 Codec.

[JeremyG] “I have also liked the results in FCP5 making sure that your sequence render settings are set to best.”
Thanks for the reply Jeremy.
I tried the best setting and the top and bottom edges of the image become soft as well as the top and bottom edges of the titles and any other graphics.
May try the After Effects route… I’m using Kona 2 and there is new codec from AJA that apparently cleans up the gamma shift problem… I believe it’s call AJA 2Yuv Codec. Will try some tests this morning.
What scale would you use in After Effects?
Thanks!

If you’re using Tiger, you can increase the size of the mouse pointer in the Universal Access control panel under System Preferences.

[Don Greening] “I’m still waiting for the local Mac store to phone me back regarding RAM. Three weeks ago they said they were expecting a shipment due to arrive in a week and would phone me the minute it came in.”
Don,
You have a great RAM resource right next door to you.
They’re on the island and they usually have what you want in stock with next day delivery. I believe they also have Crucial.
