I’ve heard that you can’t do variable frame rate with the Firestore. Can anyone verify that.

HDV goes incredible slow in AE though, it looks good though

Yeah, I was using that program. It wasn’t very intuitive, but I played with it for awhile and then it kind of just magically started working. I have no clue why.

I owned one for 3 years. just sold it. Firewire out would work if I changed the output settings in my video settings to output firewire. Are you trying to get a non-matrox project to export through matrox’s firewire? I don’t think that will work.

If you can wait a few months, Intel’s new Conroe smokes all of AMD’s chips.

Most new motherboards have built in Raid 5 (on the Intel platform) If you can afford it, I’d buy a separate raid 5 controller, but that isn’t necessary just for starting out.

If it needs to be built right now, I’d use a Pentium D 930 with an Asus P5WD2-E in a Cooler Master Stacker Case (i’ve got one that I have to sale), with 4 GB’s of DDR2 667 ram with a 7900GT (great for all the new OpenGL features in the new suite). I’d put in a 160 sata2 drive for the OS and then I’d put in 4 500 GB drives in a raid 5 for your Video drive. (or whatever size drives fit your needs) On the monitor, I don’t know if you are a LCD person or a CRT, but for me personally my 19inch CRTs that display 2048×1536 are just fine.

Are you editing an HDV project? because HDV won’t output over firewire real-time. Also, is there a picture on your camera’s lcd, because if there isn’t then that means that there is a problem with your first connection. If you can see the timeline video on the lcd, then your tv out function on your camera isn’t working.

It is possible to use a dual head card to preview on a tv, it is simply a matter of telling your computer you want it to do that. In the NVidia display control panel change the box in the “Full Screen Video” section from “disable” to “auto-select” this will output your video overlay on the second monitor. This requires less cpu power to display than outputing through firewire. Because I wanted dual or even triple monitors, I’m running my tv off of the second head of my main Video Card, while a cheaper card runs my second (and hopefully) third monitor.

I highlighted the Adobe decoder and slid it to the top and then made sure that it kept my new setting and then I restarted, now it works.
