Hi
The new version of CatDV to be shown at NAB reportedly has the ability to capture via FW over T/C breaks without falter.

Hi
Since HDV is by definition an anamorphic non-square pixel codec it won’t work, I guess.
I expect you will have to choose a codec that has no implied pixel dimensions.

[Cecile] “Where can I get information about the whole FCP uninstalling process”
Hi
Apparantly there is an Uninstall option when you insert the FCS installer disk.

Hi
Your Mac has an AGP graphics slot, so newer PCI-Express cards don’t fit.
The 2-slot nVidia 6800 was as good as it got.

[Rennie] “…how many times have you seen FCP has actually created a speed change of 76.045 instead of the 75% you specified?”
Hi
Many many times – invariably!
Interesting analysis, thanks for the insight.

[Brady] “I don’t have raided drives and shouldn’t need them, as I’m dealing with still files, not video with high data rates.”
Hi
You’re dealing with ‘still’ files, but FCP isn’t. Its dealing with frames on a timeline, so unless your stills are only one frame duration it is having to render out as many frames as each still lasts for….

Even if they are only one frame duration they will only not need a render if they are imported in a FCP video codec format, with your sequence settings matching.

Hi
I think MPEG-2 requires frame pixel dimensions divisible by 16, so 3500 isn’t a valid size for an encode.
