hey peter

thanks for your perspective. what would be your suggestion for an ingest machine? the full throttle digibeta player/recorder (model 500 or something) they are pretty pricey

ok cool thanks guys – disk utility gives my raid as a hard drive option to repair – though it doesnt have OSX installed on it at all.

hey walter

i was getting so desperate i tried calling you a few times at your work number…..it seems though i have discovered the problem.

for some inexplicable reason the cinewave 4.5 codec seemed to have unistalled itself!!! once i dropped the codec back in the quicktime folder final cut opened up fine.

this is very strange – in all your past cinewave experiences have you ever heard or seen a codec unistall itself?

interested in your wisdom as to what could be going on here.

thanks!!

hey walter

when you switched over to Kona 2 how did you handle all your old cinewave clips and or projects – will the Kona board play these clips as they are or do they need to be converted?

thanks

here is something very odd.

when i change the sequence codec to apple 8-bit all the jaggies dissapear – stranger still when i continue in a cinewave YUV sequence and turn the image and wireframe on the jaggies dissapear – when i turn image and wireframe off, the jaggies come back!!!

any ideas on whats going on there?

thanks shane,

unfortunately that’s not making much difference. what i am totally puzzled about is that i have never had artifact issues with title 3d before and now without doing anything different than before my text looks like it was created in a dv timeline with all the associated jagged edges.

im confused
