Hi Russ

I have a quad g5 with a duel boot arrangement. I run M100 HDe and FCP works great. As for M100 it’s better than it’s ever been. I use it more than FCP because it’s no nonsense and extremely efficient to edit with.

Of course FCP studio comes with a bunch of toys that come in useful from time to time. So having the duel boot system gives you the best of both worlds. But if someone asked me which single edit suite would I take to desert Island, I’d go M100 everytime.

oh, so what I meant was I can’t see if your suggestion will work because at this point I can’t even get the M100 to accept a video signal whilst I’m aquiring voice via the mixer. Maybe I’m missing something. Because I’m sure I used to be able to do this on my old M100 system, V8 or whatever it was.

Hi again,

unfortunately that wasn’t it. Well at least I don’t think so. See, thing is, I have to turn off the device control in order to capture from the voice booth into the M100 via a mixer, so I can’t actually keep the video box ticked in ‘aquire’ mode. If I leave it ticked the ‘aquire’ button is greyed out (along with the macine control buttons, obviously). So I have to untick it to and then digitize the voice in.

But I did discover this other weird thing about the problem, that is, I tried opening up a new session and it all went well on my first capture. Sounded okay going in, sounded good playing back the clip. But when I tried a second test voice capture it sounded fine on the way in but really shitty on playback.

Hmm, this is weird!! Anymore suggestions?

Cheers

Thanks for that Floh…

Interesting what you say about the ticked video box. Because I’ve recently changed that. I usually leave it ticked. Bet that’s it. I’ll try and let you know.

Sheesh, Floh. That was a quick reply. Thanks heaps for that. I’ll try it.

Hi Folks

I understand most PAL players will play NTSC. However am I’ve been told most NTSC players do not play PAL. ie the DVD players sold in the NTSC countries (US etc) are set up to play NTSC only.

So if I’m in a PAL country and want to send a DVD to a NTSC country I’ll need to do the convesion back the other way. I guess I can do this using the same software, right? Does anyone know of any tutorials for doing this to get the best results?

Wouldn’t u all agree???

[Paul Crowe]

Hey Greg. Well done that’s the exact same system I’m running. You won’t be dissapointed. Make sure you get yourself some fast storage though.

Great. Sounds like I had nothing to worry about. Thanks for that.

[Paul Crowe]

Thanks for that guys. I really needed to get cracking on the job that came in on a drive ex producer so I eneded up backing up the V11 projects and upgrading. As i happens every thing is woriking perfectly. Both the V11 and the Producer projects work fine in V11.5 – so no looking back, I hope.

Cheers for you help.
