Nick,sorry I think I mis-understood your post at first.
If it just getting the finished files, and not the timelines:
1. Virtual AVI (I think I’ve mentioned that) there were two versions I think Version 15 and version 16. If I recall Version 15 needed the hardware, and version 16did not, but required something else. These work as frame buffers (again from memory) so you need to render the files in whatever application imports them. ALSO remember the .DVA is converted to an .AVI, but the .AVI only points to the DPS file, so you still need the DPS file.
2.
you can Check out IVSedits, it has a batch converter software for converting into .dps/.dvs – I think it will work the other way, but I’m not sure, and I know they were working on getting better Quicktime quality (as they are PC based.) Roberto Castellano is the guy to ask – do a search for IVSEdits.3. Digital Fusion can probably convert for you to quicktime (apparently very good quality), although I’m not sure it converts the audio.
Hope this helps.

I’m doing the same thing, and rendering files to quicktime (which on Velocity stinks) is not an option.
You can export the timeline as an EDL. The recapture if need be.
You could play out the timeline using Soft DV (or the DV option if you have it) and recapture in Final Cut.
I have made large WMV movies of the edits.
I also exported AAF, which I believe you can open in final cut (haven’t tried it yet) and then recapture if need be????
there is an OMF option as well, although I’ve never had that much luck with it.
Finally the Virtual AVI option in Velocity for rendered files may be a possibility.

Yes, thanks for the help, but I’m trying to find out in a practical application, if I have two Firewire 800 drives daisy changed together, how many MB/sec ought I expect to get transferring data? In an Hour how many Gig can I transfer?
I just purchased a second drive, and I’m concerned it won’t be fast enough, especially daisy chaining the two. If so, I’ve got to send it back.
All the theoretical stuff is nice, but real world is the importatn thing. Perhaps there is a utility for testing this?
Thanks.

Nope, it was DPS Velocity.
Hope I can make it work,just sent the old system out the door.

Hi, thanks.
How or where does one dial in the duration? In the settings I can set it to a default length, is that where?
But why can’t I drag a graphic to be an unlimited size? It doesn’t make any sense.

I just edited a music video, and not being ready to jump into multicam (didn’t read the manual not ready for that yet), I used a suggestion I got here which was to line up the cips, and then using the basic motion tab, shrunk each clip to 40% and moved them to the corners. Cumbersome, but it worked well. Perhaps this will help.
Shameless plug for the music video:

I get that same error message sometimes, even though I am doing an insert edit and not an insert with transition. It can be annoying.

Wow thanks.
Not exactly what I wanted, but close enough.
Thanks for the help.
