    With that kind of reasoning you should never buy a computer. Since there will always be something faster!

    This topic is about if the Power Mac G5 Quad is a good choice. Maybe you need to read the post again!!!

    well…. show me one then!
    And perhaps one that I could have standing in my livingroom 6 months ago?

    If they just would be after the fastest chips, they would have used AMD.

    I bought my quad because it is infact a Mac. And FCP runs on mac. The best NLE I’ve ever used. And I’ve used alot of them.
    That it was the worlds fastest personal computer when I bought it was just a bonus.

    I haven’t surfed around the net, but i’ve not seen any package that cost less that give you more editing power.
    Your NLE got to support it also!

  • Burn on a DVD, then it will fit without you doing some transcoding.
    They will need to download and install the media100 codec if they want to be able to play the movie on their system.

    You shouldnt get errors when you export. What do they say?
    Do you export using correct settings?

    a Quad won’t be outdated.
    There is nothing on hte PC-side right now that match it.

    Even if something is released now it usually takes apple 3 months or more before the customers get their hands on the new product.
    Either you buy now or you wait 6 months.

    Most applications don’t work good with the intel chips either, I think it’s about a year left before everyone have optimized.

    Power PC is still the way to go!

    I have that machine, it kicks a$$!

    I have a 300 GB system drive, then a second 500 GB as video drive.

    For backups I use a Lacie Bigdisk with Firewire 800.

    I think the deck is called something like AJD850 or something.

    it was bought around 3-4 years ago. I can’t recall I seen a firewire port on it.

    I really don’t know. never thought about it. Have to check when i get to the office.

    I know it got SDI/component aswell as AES/EBU thats what I used on it.
    It’s big like AJ-SD965P, but it’s darker and yellow digits.
