I use boris continuum complete, it might be a bit much for what you need (ie; comps and tracking) but it dose a great job, an has many transitions. Download a demo.

PS USB drives should all be fine.

The main problem is with using any Firewire deck and another device (hard drive, audio in out box, camera) at the same time. If your only connecting the deck to the mac over fire wire there should be no problems.

I use the sony z1u with fcp without any problems and I would expect the new cam to be the same. Simple firewire in and edit in HDV, or transcode live on capture to the apple intermediate codec. Also the advanced 24p functions of that camera should work fine in a 24p timeline if your interested. I see no problems with you, your cam, and fcp.

QT 7 can contain up to (i think) 24 tracks out audio. This audio can be compressed (aac, other) or uncompressed (up to 192/24bit), and can be assigned to a output (L, C, R, RR, LR…) or to a language track (Eng, FR, GR..). To get the 5.1 audio out of the mac you need a audio interface (like the m-audio firewire 410) that has 6 or more analog audio outputs. QT7 can not use common 5.1 “stream” formats like Dolby Digital or DTS (this should be coming soon QT8?) so using the optical out to play QT audio will down mix 5.1 to 2.0 LPCM 44.1 or 48K audio.
For demo 5.1 files I use the apple QT trailer site. Most of the HD trailers are in 5.1 aac. download one at 480P, 720P, or 1080P, and look at the movie’s settings under the audio tab.
Google qt 5.1 for more info.

Depending on how many clips you have this might take a while. You need to double click on every clip on the timeline one by one and in the viewer go to motion tab, then down to distort, aspect ratio. You should see that its set to something like 33.3. Set this value to 0 and all should be good.

Most of the MPEG2 playback video servers for broadcast deliver content at 0.512Mbit/sex to 1.5Mbit/sec. HD content is delivered at 19Mbits/sec. 12Mbit is well beyond DVD’s maximum of 10Mbit and seems impractical to me. Are you sure that your info is correct?

It has to do with the servo tension settings sending warnings over 422. You have two options. Turn off servo warnings in the menus or customize your device control settings to ignore them.

Yes it can, but a better soulution would be to buy a DV deck with aes/ebu audio and SDI out, or component out and feed that to an ioLD or a full io. Pani D-450 DVCPRO editors are going online for under $1600. You would then have much better picture and all audio channels in there digital quality. The deck makes great 4:2:2 video from 4:1:1 sources and you could capture uncompressed. Lastly, if your curently working in DV and plan on capturing video at DV over the io, you quality will go down. First, you will mix chrominance channels together over s-video and then (worst of all) you will re-compress the video back into DV (about two generation losses). Think about a digital uncompressed solution if you actually want to improve anything. Otherwise, I would stick to what you have been doing.
