Every new operating system has a big wave of changes….

Remember when mac has to pass the mountain of MACOS to OSX… I seen a lot of people who only use osx, when they realase the 10.1 or 2, not the 10.0.
And.. if you where still using an os9 application you had to start and os9 in your osx. 🙂 . nice…

It will be (i think) the same thing for vista.

A new Os need new ways to develop application and drivers.

For memory if you have a Apple Os X 1.3.x… you need to change your decklink drivers to operate on 10.4.x… For final it is the same thing (you know the good old solid rock “system recommandations”).

For my opinion Xp has reach his limit(xp32). It is still operationnal of course. But it is time to move to the future.(leave the 4GB limit memory, 2TB partition limit…, and using server version is not a good thing i think)

Also i don’t think by an vista the 30 january will be a good thing! better we wait middle of the year: adobe will realase his new pack compatible ,Black Magic will have drivers for our prefered devices…

just update the driver!

beware of your finalcut version…. final 4.x works only with drivers under 5.X…

I recommand using png format in mov. You have an alpha channel, lossless, possibility to render in trillions of colors (48bits) and compression (non-destructive).

But this format is not for real time… you will need to render your time line.

Yess!

Same problem… And very boring… It seems that the decklink has a firmware for mac…and one for windows.

A third one for vista? 😉

Very curious:a mac pro is nothing more a pc (with efi “bios” of course)

I guess your not using a firmware PPC on mac version and an X86 on windows…

Is that an know issue?

Are all decklink models affected?

Because boot camp is offering nice perspective on a mac pro to use both OS (also after on mac is not native…). We Have to boot two times before we can work and even the rom has a lot of write cycle… It is not good to flash it every day no?

While waiting stand alone codecs for secondary pc…

Install drivers of decklink on this pc. It will add the codecs (and all the deckink software, even if a part need the hardware…)

Do a system restore point and uninstall standalone codec 4.9 before.

If you experience troubles with Ae and ppro juste uninstall the driver.

A mac pro is basicaly a “pc” X86.
DO you mean osx with premiere pro?
Bootcamp and windows xp and premiere pro?
Os X with virtual pc and premiere pro?

Please be more precise…

Thanks for the reply. Also i realize that the old pci (even in 66 mhz) has a very short bandwith for 1:1 hd resolution…

Next time i will think a little more before asking! 😉

Very nice work on your codec. It works very well and it is very fast!

Do you plan to add a data rate to reduce file size if we want to do offline and non-broadcast?
