It’s a fine idea to reinstall your startup disk… you’ll be surprised how much faster it may become doing this.
The only thing I can think of is to backup all email you need, Documents, of course. FCP project files etc… You might even want to clone your startup disk with something like Carbon Copy Cloner so you can go back if need be to retrieve something you forgot to back up etc…
Then… do an erase and install of Panther (just keep in mind it’s going to do just that ERASE the hard drive) Format it Mac OS Extended with Journalling on, update it, repair permissions and start installing software after that… Then drag back from your backup.
Might be a great time to upgrade to Tiger (or create a partition for it on your startup disk for a later install). FCP will love you for this… I do it about every 6 months or so and it works to really keep my system fast. I run multiple OS’s here and keep a 4.5 system running on 10.3.8 Just for really mission critical stuff right now.

I wish I could but don’t have the gear…
Disconnect any video device that’s connected just to be sure that it isn’t interfearing in some way. Is there a capture card in the system? If so which and what drivers do you have installed?

I think the faster way to get to the same result would be to let your camera/deck do the downconversion… I’m pretty sure that the Sony gear will output the HDV as DV during playback, so you’d just capture it as DV in the first place.

I think the COW is ramping up the new server… I’ll wager this will be fixed…

Sounds like a bug to me… report it in the feedback link in FCP.

Are the clips that are showing the black on either side from analog video sources? If so, that’s normal, it’s called blanking… it won’t show up on a TV set because they are out of the safe area. If the delivery is to be something like a web stream though, they will show up, and the common fix is to crop the finished product so they don’t show up.

If you mean do you see the video as it is rendered frame by frame, the answer is no.

It’s still available in 10.3.9… There are no features turned off running FCP 5 in Panther…
There’s a few features in Motion that are only availalbe in Tiger however.
