did you try CleanApp to pull off the old installation? As well as FCS remover.

I use SuperDuper. Just make sure the checkbox for bootable clone is on.

wish I could see it. But you know, your Betacam output is always interlaced, you’re not going to avoid it. You’re just facing what so many of us faced for years, and that’s sharp edges showing problems. Horizontal lines are the worst. The suggestion of the blur filter is probably the most helpful. Over the years, we developed all sorts of ways of tricking NTSC into behaving. All were only marginally successful. Editing on computer monitors is nothing more than deceiving at best. While some systems will allow you to see real interlaced video frames, most will not.
Wait until you have an animation with the wrong field rendering. Now they’re really fun, especially when you don’t see it until you’ve spent a couple days in rendering. Ah, the memories. . . Non-linear: all the time and nothing but.

I do it all the time: offline to online. And the way Shane describes it is certainly correct. There’s a funcion in the media manager to “make offline.” It’s poorly named, because it doesn’t mean “take my project offline.” No, it means create a new project, from a selected timeline (sequence) and create a new one that has no media attached to it. Then setup your system to capture in the resolution you want. We use Kona cards. However, we’re going from HDCAM to ProRes Proxy to something with less compression, Prores 422 or 8- or 10-bit uncompressed. I’m not a big fan of trying to make something like DV bigger. Smallest I’ve ever used to make a film release print or DI has been Digital BetaCam.

If I understand what you’re doing-simply point the camera at the screen and fill the frame as best you can. Then pull in the HDV footage into FCP as HDV. Your film footage will be the same size, in the center of the widescreen frame. Send to compressor and render out for DVD. Pull into DVDsp and it will set it up as a Widescreen DVD. The Film footage will remain in the correct size and shape in the middle. You’ve been over thinking it.

agreed.
I pull in an MOV at 720×480. output is standard DVD widescreen. If you set it right in DVDSP it will letterbox by itself, which is really a function of the DVD player guided by the aspect ratio of the monitor attached to it.Non-linear: all the time and nothing but.

I’m using one of the h.264 turbo HD USB dongles from Elgato for some h.264 renders. It’s been faster than cluster rendering on the MacPro 8 core machines. I’m just using referenced files instead of self contained. I supposed you could double up by using both a queue to the elgato and then another queue to a cluster for rendering.

been using the h.264 turbo for rendering some web files from FCP7 on the MacPro 8 core. It’s working rather well.

I just bought a dock that accepts raw drives of almost any size (2.5′, 3.5″) and has connections for USB2, firewire 400, 800 and SATA. I plan on connecting to the mac pro via SATA and backing up projects to some spare SATA drives. I’ll have to find a link to the dock and post it.

are you talking about export renders, or renders right in the timeline (sequence)? Do you have markers indicating you have elements that need to be rendered for full playback?
