I have the Westinghouse 19″ version, which is 1400×900 (odd size I know). I use it as a second monitor to expand the Pro Tools mixer but it could easliy be used for FCP bins, etc. As far as the resolution – I have it side-by-side with the 20″ Cinema display and it actually looks good. It’s not quite the resolution, but the contrast and color are very good. I bought it as a client monitor to output from the FCP HD system, which worked ok until I could afford the Panasonic.
The only problem I have had is that when it’s turned off by the switch (not in stand-by), it takes about ten minutes before it warms up and loses some really ugly pixel noise.

Can’t do it, Sorry.

There is a satelite uplink service for this very thing. I’m not sure what the service name is but you should be able to Google “video uplink services” or something close to that and find it. You will need to have access to an uplink – try your local TV station or post house.

Data Rescue worked for me a few months back when I did something equally idiodic – I trashed my entire current project folder instead of just a single folder, and then emptied the trash before I realized what I had done. Data Rescue II was able to retrieve most of the standard filetypes, but NOT FCP project files. I luckily had these in the autosave vault. It does take time – a large media drive would require 12 hours or more for retrieval.

An airports PA system produces a vastly different sound space than an airplane’s.
To emulate the airport terminal, use some slight reverb and some short delay with about two or three reflections, and use an old, beat up mic inside a sock. Another trick is to record the announcement and then playback that announcement through a less-than-high-fidelity system and re-record the playback while micing it from a distance. A large room (like a gymnasium) will sound best but even a bathroom will work.
For the airplane, just a some slight and very short delay, then roll off the highs. The sock on the mic might help too.
Ambient sfx will sell it better than anything, however.

Mid-Side stereo encoding has been the preferred standard for dialog and efx for the broadcast industry for years. Most audio post houses have dedicated hardware to decode the tracks for use – it usually gets bumped to a L/R configuration, or the mid channel goes on to be the mono source. In fact, mono compatibility is why it is used by the film and video industry. Decoding is a piece of cake on my external mixer, I would rather do it in FCP however.

Try switching channels. You might need to do this several times to find a clean channel.

Make sure you have “linking” enabled – it’s the first little button at the top right of the timeline window – the one with the chain link icon. If you want to save the linked audio and video in the browser, simply make a subclip.
