    It sounds like you are just dropping the Quicktime into DVDSP? It needs to be encoded first. If you exported that to DVDSP than there should be a RED light next to the video asset footage indicating that it is encoding it in the background.

    I export the .mov file then open Compressor and choose the encode rates for audio type and video and after the .m2v and .aiff files are extracted, then you import these into DVDSP.

    Depending on the level of the advanced training you require there are a few sources that I can recommend.

    Rippletraining.com – Steve Martin is a teacher of teachers for Apple Pro Training certifcations. His material is top class and very well worth the price.

    MacProVideo.com – Martin Sitter and others, very good and quality, thorough content for all Apple apps and some others too.

    Magnetmedia.com – DMTS – Very introspective type of training. More definition of formats and codecs and more technical information that the others.

    Most have demo’s of a chapter or such to look at.

    Best Luck

    How do you propose to get RAID 3 or 10 on SATA drives? There is no software that can do this for MAC!

    MY Quad G5 has 4 x 500 GB SATA drives running on a RocketRAID PCI Express card as RAID 0 and gets about 240 MB/sec. Not enough to use for 1080i HD! Or do you mean HDV???

    June 13, 2006 at 1:30 pm in reply to: SATA or SCSI raid drives better for FCP?

    A SATA RAID IS cheaper than SCSI and for a good reason. SATA drives are larger capacity for a smaller price per megabyte, You can get 2.0 TB of SATA for about $1200 (drives only) and with SCSI that would cost you closer to $3000.

    There is a downside to SATA RAID (of course) when the drives get to about 2/3rds full, the performance drops to one-half the empty capacity performance.

    You DO need a Fast dual channel SCSI RAID to do real (uncompressed HD) or FiberChannel RAID

    What the BOZO’s are tellin him, is (did you see that he is using someone elses computer? and needs one to continue?)

    We BOZO’s who need to work NOW have one choice- a Quad G5 —- When the Intel towers ship – That is another story.

    June 3, 2006 at 2:24 pm in reply to: 2 Raid questions

    1- No software package for the MAC can do RAID 5. I use the HighPoint RocketRAID 2320 which does RAID’s 0-1-5-10 from hardware. It is a PCI Express card and works great for me. I am using 4 x 500 GB SATA drives in a 2.0 TB RAID 0 for video.

    2- MIrroring a boot drive will actally slow it down. Some have tried to RAID 0 a boot disk , but that can cause problems too. The best way to speed up a boot drive is to go with a 10K SATA drive as the boot drive.

    “” I gave you a suggestion in your FIRST thread on this SAME issue just a FEW threads down below. If you want us to help you with ONE issue, just create ONE thread””

    “” Multiple threads for the same issue are incredibly annoying””

    WOW! Where do we have to go to bow down to the MASTER? One person with a problem can’t think through a problem without the overlord chastening him for not immediately “snapping to attention” over one of at least four posts trying to help out?

    Perhaps you might look at your responses and see if they don’t tend to be incredibly annoying.

    ATTENTION – it is heretofore now incredibly annoying if some one posts more that one question here in a lifetime!

    Kristian,

    Is it also true that Decklink HD Extreme is a 4:2:2 (single-link HD capture card. Unlike the HD Pro which is a 4:4:4 (dual-link card?

    May 27, 2006 at 3:59 pm in reply to: SATA RAID Disk Speeds – Is this correct???

    “”and about 60-65 MB/sec per stripe is average.””

    Might help to read the whole thing before telling MrVideo that his RAID isn’t working well. Or maybe Bob Zelin doesn’t understand what a RAID stripe is?
