Hi Ankur

I have the little siter cam the HDM100 and the same system. Just uploaded FCP 6 on it and it works fine @ 35mbs.

There are a few tweaks u have to do to make it run smoother –
u will need to add more ram at least 2gig.
Get a decent external HD. I use Gdrive or WD Studio pro 2. I like the WD’s as they are cheap and have a RAID 0 or 1 option. If you have the cash for more go for it.
In FCP go to you USER settings – RENDER controls and unclick ALWAYS RENBDER AT HIGHEST QUALITY

Hope the Helps

Will

Hi

Ishhh thats a lot of footage. Exported it as an QT file and then recompress into DIV x – Thats what I would do. U keep your quality and they can see it the way it was shot – Well as close as possible to the original anyway !

Hi

run the same setup – this solved my problem – Go to your FCP user prefs and click on RENDER CONTROLS unclick – always render at best quality – You just saved yrself at least 50% OF yr previous render time.

When u export the quality remains at the original footage quality – so no need to fear final export quality

Hope it helps u

William

Hi Forest

I have had similar issues. It happened on two occasions and I haver pinpointed it to two factors. In one case it was bad tape. In recent months I have had very VERY bad experiences with the Black and Red Sony DV tapes. The quality has been dwindling. The reason I pinpointed it to the tapes is that it happened on multiple tapes filmed on multiple cams – Including a Sony DSR 300 – JVC 101 and DVX200 Panasonic.

The second occurance I had was after switching tapes a head problem with a PD170.

The way I resoMy company film sport events for broadcast on a national basis so we receive tapes from all types of cams. A few months ago we had the same problem with a tape from an onboard camera used in auto race. Tape would play for a min or so and then stop saying – an error has been encountered capuring the footage from tape –etc etc-

The only way that we resolved the issue was to copy the tape from camera to DSR30 deck. Problem solved

Hope that Helps

Will
