Thanks Job… that’s what I thought too. It’s a quad 3.0ghz ‘harpertown’ model but my local Avid rep is telling me I need to buy a new machine, which will run about $6k.

J-30 with firewire for sure.

Christian, the Mojo itself does not talk to any deck. It’s is purely Audio/Video i/o.
If you’re on a mac you will need the Keyspan adapter. If you’re on a PC you can connect the deck’s remote cable to a serial port, via a 232>422 adapter.

Final Cut is very different to Avid in regards to its timeline. In Avid you have your project setup/framerate from the beginning and the timeline always reflects that. In Final Cut you can have all sorts of different standards in multiple timelines. So, whatever format/codec you have made your source footage, also use those same settings for your timeline. You won’t need to render if you do that.
As for using Avid Codec source files in Final Cut… never had an enjoyable working experience with an Avid codec based timeline. It’s very possible it was something I was doing that affected it but nevertheless, use another FCP friendly codec if you can.

If you’re on a mac you can use Handbrake or MPEG Streamclip to convert a .vob file to a number of different file formats, including Quicktime, which you can then import into Avid. Both programmes are free and very reliable.

The EX uses a CMOS sensor and it will flicker if the conditions aren’t to it’s liking. I learned this the hard way while shooting a concert in another country. I don’t know if there’s a plug in that will fix it but any ‘treatment’ of the footage will be some sort of compromise. Good luck though… I feel your pain.

No worries. Glad it’s all working for you.

If you’re simply migrating from your PC to a Mac and you need all the media from your PC then just do a straight copy… no transcode necessary.
