A long-shot here.. One “gotcha” that you have to remember: when you chance the easy settings to DV be sure to create a new sequence afterwards. Changing the easy settings does not change sequences that are already in existence..
hope that helps.

Yes. Curious to see how much it slows down. Will let you know.
In the array you mention was it stripped using Apple Disc Utility or Atto express raid or some other?
Since we have the new drive we have solved a problem with a kind of “dropout” during playback but we noticed today that we still get a similar kind of dropout but only in rendered material. Puzzling. The solution is to make a cut and rerender just the frame with the dropout. A pain. I don’t believe that this is related to the drive.
started with an erased disc, Re installed OSX, reinstalled the application, reinstalled the decklink drivers etc…

“Hand picked”.. interesting. As opposed to machine harvested.

Sometimes one can lose a volume.. the disks are all working but the directory has become so corrupt that it can’t be repaired.. in that case the other volumes would still be available.
At least that is the theory. But perhaps tools like disc warrier and data rescue can fix most of these problems. At least that is what I am hoping as right now we have only the one mega partition.

Thanks Bob. I was wondering if It was just me but there doesn’t seem to be any way to do it. My theory is that multiple partitions are safer as losing one will not wipe out as much data. Do you agree that that would be the reason to partition?

this from a network we deal with..
Many satellite feeds are digitally compressed 4:2:0.. therefore if you shoot 4:1:1 the final product is effectively sampled at 4:1:0 causing very poor color sampling.

Thanks Luke,
I’ve been around the track with the Medea a few times.. I have the latest firmware etc. etc. etc. Not sure what is happening. Got to get on with life.
Thanks for the advice about the SATA. We are going to give that a try.

Thanks for that useful info.

Yes that’s right not blow it up.. just unsqueeze it and crop it. It’s still a loss of resolution over native 4:3. Perhaps not enough to matter?

No not much choice.. Thanks for that analysis of the resolution difference. Have you every done a show like that?
For us I guess we’d have to do the pan and scan in FCP or aftereffects. I guess that’s two to three days work per half hour…
would love to wiggle out of it but we’ll see.
Thanks for the help.
