Understood. I’ll gather this data and return with it. Thanks.

Thanks for your input on my output. It’s a G4 (or 5, I’m really not sure — it’s a dedicated editing machine purchased about a year ago.) We experimented today and wound up bypassing Final Cut Pro and playing the rendered movie directly off the Black Magic card. This works 95% of the time. The 5% will kill us when we output unless we output and insert like crazy on the HD recorder. Is the Black Magic card calibrated fine enough to go to the exact time code frame?

Somebody else looking at the problem is convinced we don’t have enough band width on our hard drive array. The movie is about 600 gigs. We have a terabyte of storage space.
