>>I normally pefer cannons cameras, but I’m just not a fan of single CMOS chips. 3CMOS is fine..
the only ones I’ve been able to find reasonably cheap that are 3ccd are Panasonic’s.I don’t care what you purchase, and I don’t want to trash Panasonic, but I have a buddy with a 3CCD Panasonic with three liiiitttttle tinnyy CCD’s. His colorspace is awful compared to the Canon, and his clips always look all washed out. You can bump it in post, but what is the point?
I would be sure to physically eyeball the visual output before making any kind of a purchasing decision just based on spec.

I have heard that the T2i and the 7D overheat. The 5D is not supposed to have problems with overheating in general, although some people have reported a few exceptions. I have no idea why.
I also have a pair of Canon HF S10’s in AVCHD that I love. I can get 2hrs 55mins of maximum quality (24 MBps) on 32GB Transcend Class 6 cards, and for the money the image quality is great. It’s not P2 or SxS, but for the money you cannot beat it. I think they made some small improvements with the Canon HF S11.
I had a Sony HDR-FX1 in HDV, and I was very hesitant to go tapeless; but now that I have gone tapeless I would not go back. Hard drives are so cheap nowadays, so I just back everything up, multiple redundancy, and it is still wayy cheaper than $7.00 per HDV tape.

>>I want to recreate D:\ as a standalone single drive and recreate D:\ as five drives in RAID 5, and then put all stock footage, Temp and output files to D:\.
I apologize. I should clarify. I have six drive bays. I can drop one of my optical drives, and make C:\ as a standalone (with external backup), and D:\ as RAID 5 with four (not five) drives. Or I can get an external enclosure for my remaining optical drive, and I can make D:\ as five drives in RAID 5.
Would four drives in RAID 5 be good enough for D:\, both for stock footage, for D:\Temp, and for output? Because it would be easier to leave the optical drive inside the case.
Or is there a better setup altogether.

I realize this is a subjective question, but is there a better setup?

>>You should point out that this has do be done with right-click and drag and then select Add as Takes when you drop it. If you just drop the audio over the existing one it will create a nightmare of hidden events (which imho, should even be allowed)
John, I am curious about this. If one selects ‘add as takes’, then is one able to select the ‘take’ one wants out of several tracks on the timeline (and ignore the others on the timeline in favor of the active take)?
And is this kind of what InfinityCAM does?

Ken, I understand your frustration, and also understand that you are working under a time clock.
Are you sure about your Rocket Raid controller? I know that not all RAID controllers are the same. (It is just a question.)
Also, this should be just a single issue for Sony’s paid support, so you should be able to get your answer for the single issue price, if you choose to go that route.
Have you tried the normal support query, https://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/support/technicalsupport.asp

Dear Sleiman,
It is a good lesson to use the free trial, isn’t it?
(It has happened to many.)

Hi Lee.
I am not the expert, but I would boost the RAM preview to 384, just as a troubleshooting measure.
What is the bitrate on your Flip camera? And when you compare files of similar length, one of a brightly lit environment and one of a darker environment, are they about the same size (in MB/GB)? Or are they radically different?

Also, why did you find it necessary to reinstall Windows four times?

Bob, would you please re-post this as a new thread? Lee has made another post, and I have a difficult time keeping things straight when there is more than one primary issue being discussed. Thanks for understanding.
