Michael, that “last dinosaur standing” comment was not directed at you specifically. I thought I’d clarify that since you seem to be the type who gets his feelings hurt easily 🙂
Sounds like many of us are in the same boat – strongly hoping to stay with M100 but not getting much encouraging news.

I haven’t posted here for a long time but I felt compelled to jump in. First, asking if M100 is dead is a worthwhile question for anyone purchasing new systems. While the “it still works so why change” attitude is fine for existing systems, if someone is buying new you have to make sure your investment is leveraged well for the future and it’s the perfect time to compare features and price points of M100 to other systems.
Even if Boris does make improvements to M100, it’s lack of market share, marketing efforts, etc all concern me. I love cutting on M100 (sadly, I haven’t been able to for a few years due to company’s switch to FCP) but it makes no sense to be the “last dinosaur standing.”Lastly, I hope things improve. Some day I’ll be buying a new system again and it would be awesome if M100 was a legitimate contender.

Kent raises great points. I was a long time M100 user and switched to FCP after a merger with another company that was already deep into FCP. Funny, they were M100 users who switch to FCP because of M100’s “dark years of uncertainty.” After using FCP for nearly a year now, I would jump back to M100 in a heartbeat if given the opportunity. Much easier to use, much more intuitive. Of course, there are a couple things I like better in FCP but not enough!

Thanks Jeremy. You were right – I had a mismatch in the settings. I forgot that some of the material was 720p and the outputs were set for 1080i.

I find that a little butter really helps the tape slide in.

Thanks Craig. I occasionally have to record power point presentations – I will check it out and see if it would be a better option than the scan converter/DVCam deck.

OK. Wasn’t using clip browser to export before – now everything is fine. Thanks for all of the help.
Craig, I would like to know which screen capture ap you are using.

Hang on – just found another thread with more advice. Let me try a couple more things.

Hmmm. I believe I followed the steps correctly but when I go to the EX30 and hit “thumbnail” I get a “no clip” message. I tried exporting directly to the deck and also to a hard drive and then copying to the deck. Any other thoughts? Thanks.

Thanks Michael. I believe I can handle that (maybe :). I will also look up Craig’s tutorial.
