So by using a Express card (such as this: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/493412-REG/SIIG_NN_000042_S1_2_Port_FireWire_800_ExpressCard_34_Expansion.html), would this show as an mounted drive?

Ok, so if I capture via firewire 400 (50mb/s) or firewire 800 (100mb/s) to a express card (one that will fit a MBP 15 in, I should get better results. Even better if I capture to an external firewire. Correct? I believe I understand what is going on now.

[Ryan Atkins]

Would this be something that would increase capture rate via firewire 400 on 15in macbook pro?

As for the SATA, if you are referring to an internal hard drive, I do have a SATA 7200 rpm. I was looking at Express cards, mostly on Amazon and unfortunately have read a fair amount of bad reviews on them on thr fact that they just aren’t recognized. What are you thoughts? Do you recommend one or a site that is reputable?

Thanks

[Ryan Atkins]

Very interesting. Any way to upgrade your self? I’m capture to a MacBook Pro, 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with a 7200 rpm hard drive, straight to the hard drive.

Any suggestions, I’ll gladly take them. A tape deck is out of the price range right now, maybe later.

Is there basically nothing that will improve bandwidth capturing straight from camera that is 4 pin?

[Ryan Atkins]

Oh that manual, Ok. I thought you were talking about another separate printed manual. I will look at that and hope I can come to a conclusion.

Thank you,

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately i don’t have the Compressor 3 user manual – i bought the academic version of final cut studio 2 and it only came with 6 volumes of manual, helpful, but not.

Is there a site or another forum where this process is explained?

Don’t know if someone wants to send some PDF’s via e-mail.

Thanks for the help. I will wait for a reply.

Ok, maybe that was why Compressor had that field as a default, not sure. what i do know is that I could tell it was definitely interlaced viewing it on my monitor, haven’t tried it on a TV yet. My timeline may have been altered, as Walter mentioned. I just know that the quality I saw was not even at the caliber of Standard Definition.

More tweaking I guess.

[Ryan Atkins]

Ok, for all I know something may have been altered. As you said, its can and has been done before. I’ll just have to do a clean recording and edit and see what happens next time.
