I bought the ATI because it’s a little less expensive but matches the power of the nVidia in almost every case (go to http://www.barefeats.com for benchmarks). The nVidia is huge and overlaps one of the pci slots – the ATI does not. The ATI can also run the 30in display if you get one.

I’m looking at the Burly box myself. They even have one that holds 8 drives. Sonnettech.com has 4 and 8 port SATA cards for Mac that are very fast. Not sure about the noise of the cases. I’ve found Seagate makes very quiet drives. Have 2 internal 4 drive RAIDs at work I built with Seagate 300GB drives – very solid, fast and quiet.
http://www.mwave.com has the new Western Digital 320GB drives (3200SD) that are designed for RAID and also very quiet for $159.

Did you desaturate or use the Black & White filter on the master video out or the track only? I would make sure you’re doing it on the Master.

Yes – we are running V6 with dual Xeon’s (EMT64) and Decklink Extreme with 4.8 drivers – all runs very solid. The new Intel Xeon’s are just 64bit enabled – they will run normal on current 32bit XP but have the ability to run 64bit XP when it becomes the norm and app’s begin to support it.

Pre-rendering doesn’t help us. We are having the same issues – just terrible audio playback and near impossible to do sound design. This was never a problem on older versions of Vegas. We cannot even think of using any audio plug-in’s.
We are having the same issues on all our machines – 1 with Presonus Firepod, 1 with Echo Mia, 2 with Audigy 2’s. All using ASIO which is the only way to clear sounding audio playback in Vegas. All systems work great with same hardware and 20+ tracks in Premiere Pro but unusable in Vegas 6.
Sony has refused to acknowledge any problems and continues to blame it on user ot third party hardware error/drivers etc. – gotta love it.

Since you’re a Canopus user alredy, I’d suggest you take a good look at Edius with their new realtime hardware – much more powerful realtime and full realtime HDV support for the future.
We are not having good luck with the newest version of Vegas and realtime – audio and video playback is worse than older versions even on a dual 3.4 Xeon. Hopefully Sony can get all the bugs worked out, but they are quickly falling behind the rest of the NLE’s.

It can using Propect HD software from Cineform. You will get realtime 10bit 1920×1080 4:2:2 color – very good codec and perfect solution for HDV editing. Your HDV footage will get converted into 10 bit true HD for editing, color fx etc.
Right now you must have an approved system to run ProspectHD – hopefully they will make it a stand alone app that anyone running PPro can purchase and also add Decklink support.

Just got the Sin City making of book – very good. They used the Quantel eQ system for color effects on Sin City. You can use Color Finesse in Premiere Pro and get similar effects – expect a lot of trial and error to get the look you want.

It reminds of the early XL1 days – everyone had to have to XL1 because you could change lenses – yet of the dozens of XL1 users I know, NOT ONE ever bought an additional lens!
Now everyone is defending the HVX200 and P2 as if it’s the Holy Grail and it’s 6 months from being released! I’m sure the camera’s going to be great, but what if Panasonic comes out with a HVX300 at NAB 2006 – what is the church of the HVX200 going to do then?
Just plain whacky!
(not to say I won’t be in line to buy the 200 if it performs as planned)

You’re being generous in your pricing – they’re actually over $2000 each for the 8GB – that means $4000 add on to shoot 16min of HD. Very cool concept and workflow but way too pricey right now.
Vegas doesn’t have to have built-in support for P2 – the footage would be transferred to your media drives just like any other file transfer (firewire etc.)
