the 24p (23.97) will get steppy in fast side to side motion. But that’s the only issue I’ve noticed.

Had this issue with my HV20 when I was capturing a mix of DV and HDV. I had to shut down FCP. Play the tape for a few seconds to let the deck switch to the appropriate setting. Then restart FCP and select the appropriate settiings. I was capturing native DV and HDV though.

I can usually get at least 2 streams of DVCPro HD off most FW800 single drives.

My HV20 has no issues. Try different easy set ups. The deck will output what is on the tape no matter what the settings are. Try other HDV variations.

Look for a Canon HV20 or HV30 or HV40. Consumer HDV that plays all flavors of canon HDV. I found a referbed HV20 for less than $500 The 40 is around $800 new.

I had to learn Media 100 for an on going gig about a year ago. I am working on old G4 laptops at offline resolutions so some of my issues may be hardware related.
I find I’m 2-3 times faster in FCP. I find may of the usual things I use, like match framing, to be non-exsistant in M100. When I mark an in and out on a clip I can only see that range until I push another button to reveal the entire clip. The dated “A/B” roll metaphor on the main video layer is cumbersome. The audio waveforms are nearly unless and really slow the box down. An insert can take 4-8 seconds to update the time line on longer programs. (These last issues may be the crappy lappy) Also, no sync indication. No repositioning or cropping. The new version finally got “JKL” navigation and the ability to scroll in reverse. If you make a slomo or any other processed effect M100 losses all reference to the original media. This issue alone has caused all sorts of problems.
M100 forces the render on import. All media must conform to the project settings. Thus everything eats up processing time even if it is not used. I like FCP’s more open approach of allowing most media types and then only after I decide to use it do i eat up the time.
When we output for appoval the timelime must render for a long time before it can start to make the file almost doubling the time it take to make a quick appoval file.
Also, in our market FCP workflows are used by every major facility. The managing editor for this project has built a M100 island and found a few vendors to support him. Therefore our talent pool is limited.
FCP is not perfect but as an editing tool I prefer it to Media 100.

You can turn on timecode overlays in the source window. Don’t think you can keystroke to thre source times but you can see them if that helps.

Buddy with a similar system and new MXO2 non-Max version is reporting the “Grey Death” once or twice a day. If he turns off audio scrubbing, all is fine.

P2 does not transcode on import. It comes in as it was shot. DV25, DV50, or DVCPROHD.

I’m editing DVCPROHD 1080i on a G4 laptop right now. Just cutting a story line news style. But it works. G4 1.67ghz, 2 gig ram OS 10.5.8, FCP 6.0.5, G-raid3
