Winston,
While all of your points are true and well taken they do not apply to Ben’s original question. The truth is that there is NO FW at all on the new MacBooks. The pro versions have it, but not the consimer version.

[Bill Thomas] “Will my quad-core support FCS 2? “
Absolutely. I am running it on a Dual 2.0 G5. Everything but Color. Motion is a little slow but not unworkable.

[Bill Thomas] “On my G5 8 core”
I’m sure you meant your 8-core Mac Pro since there is no such thing as an 8-core G5.
[Bill Thomas] “Would this work? Would it recognize the different hardware? “
I would say probably not very well. Too many architectural differences in those machines. I wouldn’t try it. Besides, by the time you clone the drive you could have installed most of it from scratch.

I have the Sonnettech and caldigit cards. Both work great.

That MBP will be fine but it will not run Color very well. IIRC, the screen is too small to have a high enough resolution.

Mine did this a few weeks ago and all of my settings were correct as well. A good old fashioned shutdown and restart seemed to fix the issue.

[mortimer heathcliff] “universal QT files”
No such thing as a universal QT unless you are using the Animation codec.
I wouldn’t try to archive like this. I would suggest archiving project files and non-capturable items to disc. Final output files should be kept on harddrives or tape drives or sent back to tape. now if you are using a tapeless workflow then you need to be thinking larger than DVD’s. Harddrives are a minimum and a tape drive would be ideal for this.

[mike Pell] “I have been trying to make a Quicktime video that I can take to my PC and then make a Flash CS3 movie out of for the web. “
I am going to give you two solutions to this issue. One is for doing it your way, the other is what I do.
1. You have to export using a codec that is available to both Windows and Mac. The most common way to do this is to use the animation codec. It will give you large files but they will work in windows land.
2. If your goal is Flash, then export from FCP or Compressor to an h.264 movie. That movie will have an mp4 extension. After exporting it change the extension to flv. Now you have an flv that plays in FlashPlayer 9.

Funny that you should ask. I don’t think that I am but you are the second person on this forum to ask! Who knows, we could be, there are not that many of us. I am distantly related to Pat, never met him though.

I had a hard time believing it too. It really looks to good to be true, but it is. Shane wrote about it in his blog. https://lfhd.blogspot.com/2008/01/macworld-2008-wrap-up.html
