Thanks Shane, Do you know – would one of these updates have recently been from 10.4.8 to 10.4.9 and have caused these sudden problems?

I’ll take a look at that, but I’m confused as to why this has been working fine for a couple of years and now suddenly it’s not.

Did one of these automatic updates we receive change the software from 10.4.8 to 10.4.9 recently?

Thanks Dan,

I need help with this instruction:
“Go to your browser and scroll the columns until you see “compressor”.
What does it say you are using?”

In my world ‘browser’ means Safari, but that’s not what you’re asking. I’m looking at “About this Mac/More Info” under each of the contents and I don’t see anything that says compressor or DV/DVCPRO. I don’t know where I should be looking.

The powerbook does have an 800 connection, but my G4 doesn’t, and so I have been using 400 all along so that it can work on both. Working off of the firewires has worked fine for me all along for the past 4 years, even on larger projects. I understand the RAID would be better, but for right now, that’s not what I’ll be using.

I am just editing a very small amount of clips in a new sequence, maybe 10-15 clips – no effects, no rendering, only one track of video/2 audio – I’m just working on the verbal sound track for the piece right now. I haven’t even put any B Roll on it yet. I’ve removed preferences. I’ve copied the sequence into a new sequence. I’m just baffled!

Problems started after the external hard drive started to fill up and I took off another large project to free up space. The media all went offline for my project, which should not have happened. Before that I watched the entire larger 15 minute piece – no drop frames, nothing unusual.

RAIDs – for future reference – what is needed to implement RAIDs? A card has to be added to the computer and then you can use these devices, is that right?

Thanks so much!

I don’t know how to figure out what codec is being used. Maybe you can guide me to find out.

It is a 400 firewire.
It is the only thing connected to a firewire port on the computer and nothing else is connected to that same port

What Mac are you using and how much RAM is in there?

I am using Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 on two different computers and it
