[Michael Brennan] “In respect to the question is PCI express a watershed, well I’m hoping against hope that now is better time than last week to jump on board!”

Hi,

If you are going to purchase PCI cards you plan to use with FCP the PCI-X cards won’t work on the newer machines so those cards are going to be obsolete much sooner than the PCI-E cards.

[Michael Brennan] “Is the combination of PCI express and Quad processing a big deal?”

Hi,

Quad is a big deal if you want faster rendering, twice as many CPU’s.

The main short term issue with PCI-E might be card compatibility (or lack of compatibility). Long term PCI-E is cheaper and faster than PCI-X but I’m not sure how big an issue that is for video pros.

Hi,

When you export (or capture) you can set the “Limit Capture/Export File Segment Size” to a little over 4 gigs. This creates QT segmented reference files. To use the footage you would need the files from all DVD’s but as long as you have all the pieces in the same location it will work.

Hi,

ALL standalone PAL DVD players will play NTSC discs (region coding aside). They output a signal with PAL color space and NTSC frame rate and resolution. Most PAL TV’s manufactured since about mid 1990 can play that signal.
