Yes, or like Shane said, the Matrox MXO will work great! Keep forgetting about that one.

Yes, it is possible. It won’t give you reliable colors though. And your TV should have an DVI or HDMI input.
If you want reliable color from an iMac, I’d suggest using a AJA IO for SD or the upcoming AJA IOHD for HD.
There might be some other monitors that will work that have DVI inputs, but I haven’t been keeping up with them.

A 2:3 pulldown has a cadence of Progressive, Progressive, Interlaced, Interlaced, Progressive.
So digitize in a short section and scan through it (if you’re using QT, make sure that High Quailty video is enabled under the Visual Settings).
Once you find a interlaced frame, go back two frames. That will be the A frame. (Telecine houses put the A frame on frames 0 and 5 usually)
From there you need to digitize in a section at 23.98 starting with the A frame. If you still have interlacing, you should change the frame offset under the device presets until it captures correctly. (I went through this last week with AJA support)
Good Luck!

[walter biscardi] “You must get Tiger Woods Golf (if you play golf)”
I’m a golfer and own Tiger Woods 2007 for the PC, but to really be able to swing instead of doing the three click thing sounds worth buying it again for the Wii.
Any other favorites? I’m looking forward to the Wii Zapper coming out too.

RAID’s increase speed only when using separate drives. So it doesn’t make sense to do what you were saying.

Seems like FCP is freaking out on you.
Have you deleted your preferences? Restarted?

[Frantic] “It was shot on HD then downcoverted to 23.98 letterbox on a Digi-beta”
Digital Beta is a 29.97 format. I know you said that you checked the tape and didn’t see a pulldown, but I’m going to bet that it is there. Try digitizing a section in at 29.97 and then opening up the file in Cinema Tools.
If there is a 2:3 pulldown on the tape (which is standard industry practice), then you can either digitize in at 29.97 and remove the pulldown in Cinema Tools or you can digitize in at 23.98 if you set your in point to be an “A” frame.
(You might need to adjust the frame offset in the device control presets if you’re doing a batch capture. I’d be happy to explain more on this if you need it.)

What are you digitizing? What settings are you using?
If your footage is 23.98, it shouldn’t have any interlaced frames which means something was probably off when it was captured.

My version only allows me to export as WMV9 Standard or Advanced.
