The answer is theoretically yes. I have the same configurations as you
dual 2.5 w Radeon 9800 XT
Apple 17″ sudio display (ADC) in one
Dell 20″ 2005FW running from the DVI port.
just plug them in and arrange them through system preferences>displays.
hope this helps.
oh watch out for colour changes through 2 different types of monitors as well

Hi. yeah. yeah thats a good question. I have Norton auto protect ON. However it’s the same setup as the powerbook which can capture without a problem.
I have tried a few cables & it dosn’t seem to make a difference, The capture pre-set is changed between PAl & PAL (anomorphic).
The machine captures fine when running through Imovie so it’s just FCP thats affected.
any more ideas?
thanks again

ok they’re seemed to be some mix up with the replys but here it goes again.

External device is Lacie D2 250Gb with 100Gb free. definatly enough for a 15min clip to be captured.
it’s the same device that is used in conjuntion with the powerbook without any problems.
the final cut is a full legit copy (not some cut down p2p version).
any ideas?
thanks in advance

Oh dear. maybe i spoke too soon.
it is now constantly refusing to capture media even onto an external device.
the batch capture opens and is fine for short clips (like the 10second test piece) but anything over 5mins & it just stalls.
any ideas on that one?
my oh my

Thanks Bill and Markyyy,
I done as you have suggested and it seems to be working, dropped frames on the first attempt but it could have been due to a bad timecode.
it took almost all the steps so i’m guessing it waas a bad user pref.
capturing to an external device seems to help aswell.
thanks again

I’ve just trashed the prefs and tried again but no avail.. it must be a system setting or something.

Hi there thanks i’ll try deleating the preferences first. it has never worked since i installed it though. however it works fine on my powerbook.
yes it’s capturing to the system drive (160Gb) the drive is OS extended (journaled)
it’s PAL 4:3 capture preset 48Khz audio.
capturing directly though FW to panasonic DVC180A
does this explain anything?
thanks for the quick reply
