I’m really not sure at all.
But I’m wondering why this would matter. The files ARE seperated using the partition method. You can create, format, and erase the windows part without altering the OS X part in any way. How much more seperate do they need to be?

Mark pretty much says it all, but if you’re the type who likes little charts to back up an argument, you can find everything he said here:

What’s your basis for the “scrapping it by 2008” rumor? Have you read this somewhere?

People tend to not talk about Bruce. It’s not cool anymore if everyone knows, you know?
I’ve probably said too much. Hopefully you now know enough to Google up some more information.

I think you’ve made your choice then!
If you’re hoping that someone here can point to a big flaw in your plan or something like that I would say not to worry. I can’t think of any big reasons for you to not go with a G5. There are lots of tiny things on either side of the scale but it sounds to me like your “G5 side” of the scale is far heavier.

This is the hardest question to answer right now. I usually base my answer on two bits of information you haven’t given me yet:
1) What computer are you using right now?
and
2) What are that computer’s shortcomings? i.e. How much longer can you stand to live with it?
Both of these questions boil down to this little saying: “If you NEED a computer right now, get a computer right now.” That’s just as true now as it ever was. If you’re working on an etch-a-sketch right now then yes, go out and get a G5. It will serve you well for years to come and you won’t regret it.
But if you have an “ok” computer right now…one that gets the job done, even if it is a little slow, then I’d suggest waiting. Try to make it to 2007. The Intel Powermacs will probably be here late this summer…try to wait for January or whenever they get slightly upgraded or improved upon and buy THAT model.
So obviously those are the two options you always knew you had, but if you can answer those 2 questions up there it might help you figure out which one is best for you.

You need to start a project with the “NTSC DV Anamorphic” setting. Any footage you capture also needs to be identified as anamorphic. If you’ve already captured it, just import it into the new project and then expand the bin window so you can see all of the clips’ settings. One of the columns should be called “anamorphic.” You can check that row to flag footage as anamorphic if it wasn’t identified that way upon capture.

Hate to answer your question with a question, but what format of video?
That matters a lot in terms of what answer to give you.

HDV? You can capture with firewire but you’ll need an I/O card for just about everything else you’ll be doing.
Search this forum for “HDV” and “card” and you should find a couple of threads with suggestions.

Many small Mac programs are like that. You either just get the program or you get some sort of compressed format that simply expands a single file out to the desktop…you’re left with a single file either way that IS the program.
Just put it in your Applications folder and you’re good to go. To remove it from your system, just drag it to the trash. That’s it!
Larger apps like Final Cut Pro need installers and create preference files elsewhere, but the majority of Mac programs work like this…a single file in the Application folder.
