OK, great!
But how do I get the digit that is being wiped to change into a different digit as the wipe scrolls over it?
It is really a nice, eye-catching effect.

Would it hurt anything to set it for 48KHz/24 bit? That way I would know that I always have all of the necessary depth….

Hm. He says he tried that already, and to no avail???? I am not sure what it is about Magix.
He says he will use the Sony 30-day trial to edit the multi-cam video, and then in future projects I will try to match the foley sound to the camera.
Canon says the 5DM2 is 48KHz, 16 bit. So I assume I just set the H4N to 48KHz, 16 bit, and then (at least hopefully) there will be no more issues….

>> You are asking hard questions. 🙂
That’s me (haha).
OK, I have been reading all day, and my head is about to bust. I thought I should ask your advice again before I drop cash (come morning).
I have an old Intel Core2 Duo E6850 @3.0GHz sitting around, that originally came with my video editing machine (before I upgraded it to a CoreDuo Quad). Will that be adequate to power software RAID 1 for a webserver that also does dynamic content generation (DotNetNuke/.aspx)? Our uplink speed will be 768K.
For hard drives I have 3 x Seagate Barracuda Green ST1500DL003 1.5TB 5900 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5″ Internal Hard Drives (Bare Drives). Two of them are for software RAID 1, and 1 is for a spare.
Are 1.5TB hard drives ridiculous? Seagate is claiming 750,000 MTBF on the 2TB models (that is, assuming they survive the shipping). That is something like 85 years of continuous operation???! If they will be around for that long, I thought maybe I should really get larger drives, so we can use them a long time (and still have a spare in case anything goes out)?
But my main question is if the CPU will handle both dynamic content generation and software RAID 1 sufficiently, or if I need an inexpensive RAID 1 card (and which one)?
Thanks again!

Sorry if I am not getting it. How much difference between software RAID 1 and RAID 5 is there? (like, in percent?)

Thanks Alex.
It will be a Windows server.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but there is a serious performance hit on software RAID 5? (Or, not so much?)

Alternately, I could migrate my RAID controller card to the new Core i7, and let the existing CoreDuo Quad handle software RAID 1?
I am trying both to save money, and get a new Core i7 out of the deal (ha ha).
Any ideas would be sincerely appreciated.

Michael, I have had a Seagate Momentus XT 500Gb frive for my laptop for about a year, and I love it. With a fresh install of Win7x64 the boot time to a desktop was about 25 seconds. Won’t hold a candle to a pure SSD (maybe 7-10 seconds) but still.
Now with all of the other hardware loaded, a year later it is maybe one minute to the desktop, maybe 1:15 before it really responds. However, that is muucchh better than the 4-5 minutes it used to take, and routine operations have a snap to them that did not exist before.
For my video editing machine I use a Dell PERC 6i in hardware RAID 5. It takes a long time to boot up, but once it gets going it is really worth it. Hope that helps.

Good point.
Hey, would it work just to split the video in Vegas, and then render back to AVCHD?
It is a lecture format. Could I split it at a point where there is no audio, and we would be bringing a slide in on screen?
Or would that drop/lose a frame, and throw the external .wav audio all out of synch?
