I actually thought I had this problem at first and it turned out to be the optical mouse was not sitting properly on the mouse pad. If the mouse is lifted in any way so that the optical light shines off somewhere, it will wake up the mac immediately. weird I know, but that’s what I found.

[David Battistella] “Are you capturing audio in all of this recaptuing? I read several posts below that stated that the A/V were not in sync with the current driver.”
There hasn’t been an issue with Firewire capture and yes I’m capturing audio. The issues described in the past have to do with SDI capture, though I have been testing that with the 1.1.1 drivers and everything seems to be in sync here.
[David Battistella] “I guess you are just lining picture up to the OMF’s. Have you done any tests with AUDIO and VIDEO in a batch in this CODEC. “
We’ve captured approx. 200 – 300 clips for these 6 episodes and everything is in perfect sync.

The most stable FCP 4.5 config I’ve found is Mac OS 10.3.8 with whatever the latest QT 6.x is.
The Kona 2 works fine on my G5 which has both Tiger / FCP 5 and Panther / FCP 4.5 running. I’ve got each installed on a different drive while I make the transition over to FCP 5.

[Dylan] “I think it has something to do with the site being cretaed on a Mac and not having the correct settings for a PC display. I recall this happening in the past on a different web site a year or so ago.”
Actually, the Cow is created on a Linux box.

First make sure you close Log and Capture.
Second, ensure that you’re set to View All Frames under External Video

[Dylan] “but that the ads are covering the text on the right side unless I make the text very small. And, I am on a PC. The COW used to display text that wrapped to avoid the pop up ads on both sides of the screen.”
Something is definitely wrong on your end because right now I’m on our home PC (HP running Windows XP) with Internet Explorer and everything is working correctly. Forum view, banners appear down left and right. Single post view, banners appear left and right. Thread View, banners appear top and bottom with sentence wrapping working correctly. Nothing is being covered by banners.
I’m not sure what to change on your end, but it’s not a Cow / Windows issue.

[ezichko] “the thing is that the whole project is interlaced except these animations. are you suggesting to move everything to a progreesive timeline?”
If your project is interlaced, then your animation has to be interlaced too. I thought you were working with a progressive project.
The answer then is to re-render the animation with the correct field dominance for your project. With most NTSC projects, that’s Lower Field, with most PAL projects, that’s Upper Field.

I’ll second Jerry.
Just installed the ATI X800xt and it’s very very fast with Final Cut Pro 5.0 / Tiger.

[Chris Poisson] “I’ve heard the K2 upconvert is awesome, you must be doing something wrong.”
Actually Chris, it’s ok for many jobs, but if you have a lot of round surfaces, you’ll see the jaggies from the interlace lines being stretched out. We really need a line doubler to smooth out the footage even better. It will work depending on the final application, for broadcast, you probably want something with a line doubler, like the Terranex I suggested in the AJA forum.
Greg, you need to find a facility that has the Terranex and have your footage tranferred there if you want pristine results. http://www.cinefilmlab.com here in Atlanta is a top of the line film to tape, tape to tape transfer facility and really really nice guys to boot. As for Mark or Ron when you call.
