There are three types of disk drives. SCSI, ATA/IDE and serial ATA. SCSI is the older type of connection bus for data transfer.
ATA/IDE is the common type of disk drive as used in most all PC and MAC’s up to the MAC G5 and PC’s that are older than 2 years old.
Serial ATA is the latest connect bus that hosts these drives to a computer that has a SATA connection.
Serial ATA is a serial stream of data that is about half again as fast as the parallel IDE bus structure.
DDR memory is called Double Data Rate

So, let me get this straight. You can export a sequence out through a capture card to SDI, back to a deck and get it out as SD 8-10 bit. But can editing a DV sequence in a DV timeline and then opening an SD timeline and moving the DV into the SD codec do the very same thing?
I guess what I am asking is : can you do this without a capture card interveening? MY point is that since titling in DV is iffy, edit in DV – move to SD for titling and then bring it back into DV? Would that really help titling a DV sequence?

Not sure what you are dealing with, but I recently updated my G4 to Tiger and FCP Studio and it all seems to work great.
I started by “emptying” the startup drive during the boot of of the DVD install disk and then installing 10.4. I then updated to 10.4.1 and then I started the install of Studio.
Since I actually removed the former boot disk and installed a new dirve, there was not trace of the former FCP HD, DVDSP 3 and Motion, but after starting by putting in the one serial number for the entire Studio, it prompts me for the 3 latest serial numbers. Historically, when updating from an earlier version of an application, you would need the original serial numbers from the first full purchased version.
This installer wants the serial numbers from the latest apps – FCP HD, DVDSP 3 and Motion 1.0

The latest 2.7 and 2.3 GHz Mac Towers are coming with the Pioneer A09 built in as the Superdrive, so I would bet that Tiger is supporting it.

That is a lesson to be learned – never muck with a software induced RAID 0 stetup with needed data left there to be recovered. A RAID parses data across two or more drives in bytes of 8 or 16 bits per write.
When the RAIDed drives are separated, the order of the parsing is lost, therefore the entire data set.

As it is , CRT monitors are not going to be used in HD televisions or projectors that can emit 1920×1280 images. If those projection systems are going to misrepresent the actual colors of the images, what then can we do to correct them CORRECTLY when the material will never touch a CRT?
Panasonic is already selling a very expensive LCD based “production” monitor?

“Is this the first time this has been brought up on Creative Cow?”
Bruce the Wonder Yak has been visiting FCP users since version 2, I believe. Although most users have nver seen Bruce grazing, it is quite a surprise when you return to your open FCP and see this creature.
It has been discussed many times in the last 4-5 years.

“capture HDV using Final Cut Express the same as using Final Cut Pro”
You can capture HDV with the intermediate codec which is not as good as the codec in Final Cut Po 5 but it would need to be transcoded to Quicktime before bringing it into FCP HD.
Final Cut Pro 5 ingests HDV (MPEG-2) natively with better results for direct long GOP editing.

If I were you I would want to hear it from someone that has an ADC connected LCD display working today on a G5 computer.
The reason I say this is that I seriously doubt that even if the X800 XT has an ADC port on the card that it would work inside your G5 as Apple was not shipping the ADC monitor at the time of the G5 and the AGP slot need connection to 27 volts to power the display. If that connection is not present on the motherboard, it will not light the ADC monitor. That is also why Apple sells the DVI connected displays that have an auxillary power supply box to supply the power to light the 20″-23″ and 30″ DVI connected displays.
At worst, what you would have to do is spend another $100 for the Apple DVI-ADC converter to run the ADC connected LCD display as I need to do after installing the Radeon 9800 Pro in my G4 with a 22″ Cinema Display
