On Western Digital’s web site they list several different models as being My Books, there’s a Mac Edition, a Home Edition, Office, Mirror, Studio, Studio 2…which do you have?

“Sorry but it is never recommended to edit from the footage drive.”
He means the boot drive, the internal drive with the OSX operating system installed on it that is inside the laptop.
A better alternative for you is eSata drives, get an express34 card with 2 eSata ports for your laptop. Twice as fast as FW800.

If you’re going HD SDI out, why not go the Aja IO HD ProRes422 HQ route for half the cost (not counting P2 cards) of the HPG20? Surely ProResHQ is just as good as Intra 100, it’s Apple native, and the IO HD does way more than the P2 gear except run on batteries?

The Pro Apps upgrades are not upgrades from FCP5 to FCP6, they are upgrades from FCP 6.0 to 6.0.1, 6.0.2 etc. You need to buy FCP6 first.

You need QuickTime Pro, which is part of FCP, so if you aren’t running FCP (unlikely, since this is the FCP forum, but you never know) and don’t have QT Pro, this won’t work.
My method for cropping QT’s (which just worked on the Flip4Mac wmv I just opened), is:
Using PhotoShop, make a black and white GIF the same dimensions as the movie you want to crop, with the space you want cropped white and the space you want preserved black. In other words if you have a 360 by 360 movie you want to crop to 360 by 240, you create a 360 by 360 GIF with 60 pixel-wide white strips on both sides. Save it. Then…
Open the movie, hit command j, select the video track, click on the choose button under the mask box, select the GIF you just made and viola you are cropped. Save your movie.

Do you not recommend going the Matrox MXO2 route?

Thanks for the replies. I return to my original question – what would be the advantage (if any) of using an IO HD with a P2 camera
