The only reasonable conversion from QT to WMV is Flip4mac plugin to Quicktime pro.
WMV's always look worse than QT anyhow.

How were the 2 drives RAIDed? was it using the Disk utilities >RAID 0?
BTW- Diskwarrior does not defrag anything. It's sole purpose is to rebuild-repair disk directories.

Whenever the DVD content is playing, the disc will be spinning. I would imagine that since it will be in a Kiosk, it will be playing continually.

Stories is a simple, kind way to deal with Chapters other than using Scripting to do so.
If the end user chooses to skip a Chapter during viewing, there's not much you can do as it will jump right past an End Jump Chapter marker.
Perhaps there is some scripting that you can learn to only allow a chapter skip to the end of that chapter and then end jump back to the menu. I can't tell you what

Material is coming in at all shapes and sizes: DV, HDV, BetaSP, DigiBeta, HDCam, up- or cross-converted to 1080i 60.
You really listed most every type of video format that existed until today, there. Except for the HDCam (?) digital capture and the DigiBeta and BetaSP (which need a capture card to digitize), you have to rent, etc a comparable deck to capture the tapes, the rest is captured ove

Well, it's a good idea for a professionally authored DVD. If you export a Quicktime file from FCP and use Compressor to output MPEG-2 and .ac3 Dolby, the files always come out the same length for perfect sync.

> ok, then get you an esata EXPRESS CARD...
I heartily second this solution. Sata is much more Robust that Firewire for capturing and editing.
I use a 2 port eSATA card from Firmtek and two 500 GB drives on my MacBook Pro for remote editing.

I have the 2.5 Ghz Quad G5 tower and I have 5 internal drives. It will safely take a second SATA drive as the power and connectors are already there.
You can put any SATA I or II 7200 RPM 3.5" disk drive in the second slot. The G5 has only SATA I 1.5Mbps controller so it will not take full usage of the SATA II speeds. I am using 500 GB drives but it should take all the way up to 1.0 TB

What do you plan to do with that footage after you get this problem fixed?
First of all, MPEG-2 does not go into HD-DVD.
Secondly, HD-DVD doesn't exist any longer.
There is now only BluRay and Apple has not supported it , Yet!

If I am not mistaken, I think you are asking the wrong question. It should be, How can I use Soundtrack Pro audio in a video Podcast?
Simply put, make the audio in STP and add it back into FCP. Then export as a PodCast?

What is the drive formatted as? If it is FAT 32 as in Windows, it will kill the ability for identifying an icon with a program. You won't be able to reconnect the clips because they have no "forks".
If possible, reinitialize the disks as HFS+ for use with a MAC.

Point one - do NOT load your OS onto the RAID set. Keep the applications on a different drive than the captures, etc.
The Mac Pro has at least a 320 GB factory loaded HD, so just use it for all the applications. You can even choose to load the content for Motion, Soundtrack Pro and DVD Studio onto the RAID, if you wish.
Point two - While it is sweet to have 4 TB of RAID disks, using them a

There is NO video card that will run Color on a G4! The ATI Rage Pro 9800 - 128 Mb card I have in my dual 1 Ghz system is the only card left for PCI-33 Mhz slots.

I'm not saying to jump on FCP 6 but sorting out the aspect ratio problems first would be the best way to start out.
Are some of the Square Pixel graphics from After Effects or some other application that outputs as Animation codec?
What frame size are the graphics? If you set your edit codec to NTSC-DV then it will only get you 720x480. Any bigger formatted graphic will be squeezed into that

Varicam HDV
HuH? Varicam is a Panasonic trademarked name and it does not do HDV?????
SonyXDcamEX
Now that IS HDV at a higher data rate but no less HDV is only 4:2:0 color space.
Either way you don't really need a capture card. Even utilizing the Varicam SD camera??? requires a tape deck that is Firewire connected.

What version of FCP are you using. Starting in FCP 6 you can mix different formats on the same timeline. Mixing of codecs is possible. On an FCP 5 or older system it is going to be happy render time when one of those formats doesn't match the codec you setup.
In FCP 6 you could also export the mixed footages to ProRez and fix the differences. Not a simple fix, but doable.

It really doesn't matter to a G5 what types of RAM sticks are used as long as they match pair in certain slots. That's a lot of used RAM slots for 2.5 GB RAM, though.
RAM prices today are such that you could easily afford 4 or 6 GB of RAM and FCP 5 and 6 can use up to 4 GB with lots of long timeline contents.
As for HD I/O cards. what formats are you going to be using? Generally I/O cards

The old way (before multi-cam in FCP 5) was to lay each camera's clips on one track and the next one the next track below the first, etc.
If all the camera videos have audio on them then use the audio to sync the three tracks together before cutting. After syncing, turn off the camera audio and sync in the master audio track.
At this point you can use a blade cut at the intended edit points

If you want a DV tape based camcorder and loads of other features as well, then get an HVX-200 not 200A. The HVX shoots DVCPRO 25 = DV, DVCRO 50 = DigiBeta and DVCPRO 100 = 720p or 1080 true 4:2:2 High Definition. The cost should be right at $5000 or less since the HVX-200A is now shipping.

Are you sure you have the setting correct under View-External view in the menu's? That is the most common mistake.
You could try trashing prefs but that might not be the problem here.

I don't have monitors to see my color correction
You could use any CRT television for an average look at the content.
what are some of the concerns turning footage balck and white?
Just go into the 3 way color corrector and remove chrominance from the picture. The luminance is what controls the contrast of the picture.
