Ooooo. I had this same issue the other day with the Panasonic 1200HD DVCPRO HD deck.
Go to the VIEW menu and make sure that EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES is selected. Dang it…there is one other one to check too, View>External…playback device or something (sorry, not near an FCP machine). Try that, see what happens.

Look in the Easy Setups. There are a few to chose from….

Depends. How many SIMMS did you get? What model G5? Crack it open and look how many slots you have. You’ll have to look behind the fans (or just lift them out) but you should have enough room.

OK Walter, I know you have that Food Network show that you edit in HD and that network shows require very specific timings. And you mentioned that you deliver a 10-bit master which is capable of DF timcode.
What is your offline workflow you use to ensure proper timings?

a) I guess it might depend on your settings, but really, if it is DV material then that does seem rather long. Are you SURE you are not selecting Quicktime Compression and not Quicktime Movie?
b) It makes no difference. That is really for exporting back to tape.
c) See answer to A.
d) DVDs ONLY use MPEG-2 compression. If you compress to MPEG-1, then try to use iDVD, it will recompress that to mpeg-2, making your picture look really bad.
If you use iDVD, export as a Quicktime Movie…self contained, sequence settings. Then inport that directly into iDVD. Pay no heed to the file size at this point…iDVD will compress it. Unless your movie is over 2 hours, then there will be issues.
If you are using DVD SP, then take that exported quicktime movie and use Compressor to compress it for you. There are easy to use presets.
I have no experience compressing mpeg-1 or mpeg-2. I only use iDVD when I need to. Most of the time I go out to tape.

G-Technologies G-Raid?
that is a curious one. I can have my deck, or my GL1 connected and the drive…But I have another firewire card, so…maybe that is it.
Go get yourself a firewire card. About $30.

It this because it runs at 59.94 fps? The fact that NDF video and DF audio match up is no surprise…they both run at the same rate, it is just the numbers that represent the timing that is different.
Hmmm….This will taek some timing….
-
I know that time is still time, but of course the reason for DF timecode is because the video is running slightly slower. If you don’t drop numbers, and you cut your show to time using NDF code, won’t your show then be, in actuality, long?
-
This is the second time you said this Walter, and it has me concerned. If the timeline can only be non-dropframe, then how do you ensure proper and concise timing? I will be editing a two-hour History Channel show and will need to deliver a cut that is exactly 91;30;00. How can I tell if I am on time if I can’t edit DF?

I cannot say for sure, seeing as I haven’t done it. I will ask…
