I use my MBP to edit to tape all the time, capturing and then mastering with the AJA Io. Because the Io uses so much of the FW bandwith I have the Sonnet SATA card and a SATA enclosure. Works great. The Sonnet card has 2 ports that are port multiplers so you can use the P500 enclosure and have 5 drives stripe together (add to enclosures and stripe 10 drives!) The laptop can handle the video no problem it is the drives you need to think through.

tried both methods of resetting the SMC and it still will not restart. I have to shut it down and wait about a minute and it starts up fine.

Most of the newer HDCAM decks record 24P. Cinealta is Sony’s way of yes to 24P compatible.

Not one to jump into a fight, but one thing that seems to be overlooked is this editor has a project that is under way – a 23.98 timeline and captured footage. He now needs to add some SD to that timeline. So he can start from sratch and go with a 29.97 timeline and recapture everything or he can make the new footage work with the 23.97 timeline he already has. Seems to me he should just upconvert the SD to HD and then convert the frame rate of the new footage he has to use.
Then when done the debate over what frame rate is best to start with can be engaged.

I see that you did state that the tv is a widescreen so the Conversion of the Secondary should be set to Anamorphic (Format Tab)

Here are the settings that work for me to view 720P/23.98P on a standard TV.
Formats –
Prinary (Native) 720P59.94
Secondary (Converted) 525i29.97
– If you tv isn’t 16:9 set cenversion Down to Letterbox.Analog Outout
Secondary 525i29.97In FCP make sure you also have AJA Kona 720P59.94 8 Bit set as the video playback.

We have use Magic Bullet to convert concerts shot DBeta 29.97 to 24P. Also Shake does a great job of this.
My workflow would be Up Convert/Capture at 59.97, Convert to 23.98 and then bring into FCP to edit, no rendering each time you make a change.

From what I was able to gather at NAB the card does not do the encoding to ProRes (the Io HD is the exception) so as long as the computer is fast enough the CPU will do a RT encode upon capture so any SDI card should work in theory.

Can you try another HD to copy to? I copy DVCProHD files from a 5TB Raid to single HDs all the time with no problems.

I will update on day one, I go the install on a separate drive. If you do this make sure you back up your project files before opening them in the FCP6. I love being on the bleeding edge but always keep the bandaids close. With the two drive setup you are minutes away from going back.
I have a G4 867 that has three OSs on it, 9.2, 10.3.? and 10.4.9. I still need to true OS9 boot for my Sonic encoder card.
