I’m interested too. Especially excited about the potential if you can use Matrox’s new multi-input board to capture multiple HD-SDI streams and begin editing multicam in FCP while still capturing.

Put it on eBay, but make sure you post a message on Creative Cow’s classified forum with a link to your eBay auction. I would also post it on DVinfo.net’s classified forum with a link to your auction.

LOL! Sorry, you’ve already exhausted all my knowledge on the issue. I remember reading an article from someone who did exactly what you’re asking, but it’s been many months.
Google it.

The glitch is a problem with the DVD media — not Motion. Best you can do is work with what you have to minimize it as much as possible.
Considering DVDs were designed to play up to 2 hours of video, place your entire motion project into a timeline in Final Cut Pro. Copy and paste the sequence as many times as it takes to go to two hours. (The benefit here is that you can set up a nice, smooth transition between loops if you want.)
Export the Final Cut project out as a QuickTime reference movie, place that into DVD Studio, and set its end condition to loop back on itself.
In the end, you’ll have a two-hour long video of your sequence looping seamlessly, over and over. At the end, you’ll have a inevitable slight pause as the DVD head seeks and repositions itself to the beginning, but that will only happen once every two hours.

Sounds like a great task for Automator. It’s already on your computer, just sitting there, ready and anxious to help you create something fabulous. 😉

No, it’s possible. You just need to work out the XML. You might want to post a followup on this thread and see if Steve Thompson can point you in the right direction. From his messages it sounds like he figured out how to do what you want.

Try reverse engineering it. Set a marker exactly how you would like to see it in Final Cut, then export the XML. Load the XML file it generates into Excel and see if it gives you a clue how to do your own markers.

If you’re using the latest version of Macbook Pro, you can just use a mini-displayport-to-HDMI converter. Just make sure your MBP supports audio through the mini displayport and that your HDMI converter also passes the audio through HDMI and you’re set. (Unless you’re handling audio separately, in which case any MBP with any mini-displayport-to-HDMI adapter will work for you.)
I use this setup from my 27″ iMac to my 46″ HDTV to watch HD movies and it works beautifully!

Bottom line: If you’re not looking at your output on an HD broadcast monitor connected to an HD broadcast card, then you’re never going to know what you really have.

As usual, Marc Spencer’s got your back.
