We fried 3 decks, 2 cameras, and front ports on 2 computers. It was never an issue with DVCAM equipment so we never thought about until all of our stuff stopped working. Granted the last several we all our fault since we probably fried them trying to troubleshoot our problems. It was all fixed so all is good, but we now have the sony step by step directions tape to all the little decks that get passed around.
I can’t wait for the new sony hdv deck with the HD SDI. Then it will go in the rack in the server room and we won’t have to worry about firewire anymore.

I think the problem you are running into is your mpeg1 clips are muxed and you should use a program like mpeg streamclip ( I believe this is free) to demux your mpeg clip. It will also convert it to a dv file to match the rest of your clips. FCP won’t play the audio in an mpg if the audio is muxed.

Looking at the pic you posted it does not say 7 streams. It says 7 frames per second which of course is way to slow. All the benchmarks in that test are frames per second not streams. 30 frames per second would equal 1 stream.

I had a LaCie D2 250 that was accidently dropped causing it to quit working and when I opened it up it also had a maxtor drive. I tried the drive in another case to determine if the drop caused the case or the drive to fail only to find it was both. I then sent the drive in to maxtor as they had a three warranty on that particular drive and they replaced it. As a LaCie drive it was out of warranty.

The black friday price on that westinghouse at (gasp) ShopKo was $799. I couldn’t talk my wife into it however as I don’t really have an extra cash being the holiday season.

I’m 100% certain HDV support wasn’t added until version 5. DVCPRO HD support was added in 4.5.

And make sure the footage was shot HDV not DV.

Maximum white as white. I changed the sequence to 8-bit uncompressed and the video processing from 10 bit to 8 and it renders clean. Guess I’ll just do it in 8 bit as was mentioned earlier, 10 bit is probably over kill anyway.
So a usable work around is found, but I guess I’ll never know why putting it in a 10 bit sequence doesn’t work. No matter as this TV show only has 4 SD episodes left before joining the rest of the shows we produce in HD land.
Thanks for the help.

The goofy thing is, its not all the graphics. The lower thirds and wipes all render fine. Its just my bumper graphics and end credits that render goofy. I didn’t create new graphics, but I did reimport the ones already built and I’m having the same issue. They were built in photoshop. I just don’t understand why they work fine in dv and not in uncompressed.

Here are examples of what I’m talking about. 10 bit timeline – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZB2p_u_M8o dv timeline – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVqstuEXUqI
The weirdness is plan as day even in the crappy web video.
