Right – next question.
Can you put an audio file somewhere to make the QT from the dpx files have audio?? 🙂
If not, consider that a feature request!

Hi there, Bob.
Yes I thought that might be an idea, except the Seritek manual said to use the PCI-X 133.
Also the reason I had not changed it was that it works like a champ when I use the hard disk with OS X 10.3.9 / QT 6.5.2 /FCP 4.5 on it.
But I did change the slot order and there is no change when the Seritek is in slot 3 and the Kona 2 is in slot 4 (the PCI-X 133).
Now I am going to put in a UL4D SCSI card and see if I see the same problem with SCSI.
It does look like it is solidly an FCP 5, QT 7 problem, though.

I would counsel sticking to Panther/FCP 4.5/QT 6.5.2 for the moment if you can. There are a few issues with the performance and colour fidelity in Tiger/FCP 5.02/QT 7.01 that need addressing before you’d want to be a Pro operating on that platform. YMMV

Hey Scott!
Are those the arenas with only five grand to spend?
Careful which arenas you choose to do combat in 😉

Really? where? Not here, have they?

OK that works great.
Is there any way to determine where it pops the disk image with the DPX files in?
On the Mac I downloaded Sharepoints 3.5.3 and can use that to make the Framelink disk image an SMB and AFP share even on an OS X client. It is very clever.
Any plans to support timecode?

[guy] “RAIDs made with Panther are slower than RAIDs made with Tiger, but only by about 10%.”
hmm, I can tell you that RAIDs made in Tiger dont reappear when I go back to Panther.
As for the speed, it makes no odds whether it is made in Panther or Tiger. It is slower under Tiger.
Have you got the ability to try playing uncompressed 10bit in a 4.5 FCP and a 5.02 FCP environment on the same metal?

[Andy Edwards] “What are your RT settings set at? Not dynamic I hope.
What drives are you using?”
I am using Seagate Barracuda and everything is set to “high” and “best” where possible; I meant to test the worst case scenario as far as performance goes.
As I mentioned in the original post, this ALL THE SAME METAL except for the internal hard drive (and therefore the OS, FCP, QT, Kona drivers). It works like a champ in FCP 4.5 and like a dog under FCP 5.02.
All I am asking is whether anyone else is in a position to verify this? At the moment I have done this test inside one G5.

Thanks for taking the time to post.
Is this on the web site? I looked through the manual and the read me and you explanation was the shortest and the clearest 😉

Nobody using the Framelink function, then? Ah well.
