Gary or anyone,

What can be done about the incompatible SiliconImage drivers? Apparently many of the SATA expresscard and PCIe cards use these chips, Including my LaCie Expresscard for Macbook Pro and LaCie PCIe card for Mac tower. Heard any word, or what do you plan to do? I’m using the 2Big LaCie SATA RAIDs with my ioHD.

Thanks

Gary,

I’m sure they are taking care of 10.6 and FCP7 at the same time. Just thought people on FCP 6.x should know if they were thinking of moving to Snow Leopard.

I appreciate how hard they must be working on it. Best support in the business.

Try upgrading FCP to 6.0.6. That was supposed to really help issues with the Nehalems.

FCP 6.0.6 update may fix your problem. Available now.

Just and update for you all:

Back home and playing back the footage directly from the EX1 component out to Sony XBR37 component in. Very happy with the footage, and glad I shot the 24p. I suspect pulldown or some sort of processing is being done, although I have all of the available “processing” settings on the XBR off, as the footage seems much smoother than on the Macbook Pro in the field. Is pulldown being added anywhere?

Thanks again

Jeremy,

Began shooting with 24p and will stick with it. I am adapting my technique and I am happy with it. One question: when I play back from within FCP from 24p 1080 time line XDCAM HQ codec without ioHD (still at my studio), just from Macbook Pro on its display, I am seeing the video without any pulldown added, am I not? If that is correct, when is pulldown added, and would that further reduce apparent jitter? Or am I offbase here? Would an HDTV or HD professional monitor, say Sony XBR, add furhter smoothing processing as well? Also it is playing back with no dropped frames from FCP here in the field.

Thanks again,

Jim Wiseman

Jeremy or others,

Have a line on funding for two PAL countries in the Pacific region and Tahiti which I assume is. SECAM. Would this tip the balance to 24p in your mind? Would the speedup to 25p need ioHD or render in FCP? This would b’cst., cable, DVD. Want 1080 minimum.

Thanks!

Thanks for the responses. Just learned there will be a definite need for PAL, sooner than the other broadcast formats. Funding from Fiji and Samoa. Does that mean 24p is my best option? Not fond of the motion artifacts but PAL may now be the first delivery. I have an AJA ioHD, BTW. Still prefer the look of 60i, being an old video guy, but want 1080 resolution.

Thanks,

Jim Wiseman
