I could help you get a great deal on a macbbok pro and avid.

Avid Media Composer v2.8 – Mac OS X v10.4.11 (TIGER) – Quicktime 7.3

These will result in a properly working machine….

Leopard is not approved yet and I have not tested this.

R u in Los Angeles?

Advance Pulldown is not going to work in this situation unless you recorded your shot footage at Advanced Pulldown which is not the case. That is why your are getting blended filds.

I’ve setup Media Composer on two 17″ Macbook Pros for editors, runnning 2.4GHz – 120GB 7200 RPM – 4GB RAM – running Avid Mojo. Also a 15″ Macbook Pro only running 2GB RAM via Avid Mojo. All systems run very smoothly, a year ago running Media Composer on the Powerbook G4’s was not as smooth and not as stable back then. I can definatly say that if you want to run Avid on the Macbook Pros, the only guide lines that I recommend to you is to have at least 2GB RAM and I know you can run problem free with a 5400RPM drive but I would reccommend a 7200RPM drive, Also if configuring with a Avid Mojo and external firewire drives I would reccomend purchasing a secondary Firewire card for your macbook pro (connect mojo to system firewire – drives to secondary card). Hope this was helpful…Note you can also have Avid Media Composer and Final Cut Studio 2 installed on the same laptop.
