Not registered? Click HERE to register now Studio Updates - GOOD? - 18 years agoAnyone appled the Studio Updates to FCP, Motion, DVD STudio. Soundtracl Pro, QMaster - etc?? Did it all go well? Any order of updating required?by John Foley - Café LA Re: Runining your business. - 18 years agoCan I add to that - as a video professional, that doesn't make you a DVD Authoring King by default. Just because the Studio package gives you the tools to do DVD Authoring, does it mean you are instantly available for delivery on DVD? From the posts lately on the DVD Studio forum, I think not. There are too many folks that think that they can just dump Quicktime into DVD Studio Pro and out willby John Foley - Café LA Re: Is There A Difference in HDV Tapes ? - 18 years agoHDV tapes are a different formulation. Best to use the recommended tape.by John Foley - Café LA Re: Before I install FCPSTUDIO - 18 years agoYou can install FCStudio without having any earlier version installed. You just need the serial numbers from FCPHD, DVDSP3 and Motion1 Is the Archive drive another volume that Tiger is loaded on?by John Foley - Café LA Re: Peak? - 18 years agoYes - No the Peak Express did not come this time with FCP Studio. It has been there with every version of FCP since 3 , I believe. Soundtrack Pro can really do what Peak Express does, and that is probably why.by John Foley - Café LA New Updates for Final Cut Studio - 18 years agoIn addition to the MacOs X 10.4.2 updater, over at www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/downloads. you can download updates to all the Final Cut Studio applications. Some of them look like complete replacements. Have a blast!by John Foley - Café LA Re: video card for color correction? - 18 years agoThere are a few companies that make CPU upgrades for your MAC. It can be taken to a dual 1.8 GHz model, I believe.by John Foley - Café LA Re: reasons for HD? - 18 years ago""The FCC mandate is for digital broadcasting, NOT HD broadcasting"" So you are saying that digital broadcast is NOT HD broadcasting? Why then is the FCC mandate requiring digital tuners in new TV sets? For Standard Definition - digital?????by John Foley - Café LA Re: HD / HDV monitoring??? - 18 years agoAccording to Blackmagic, the Apple 23" display is the only one sized (pixel wise) to correctly display full HD images generated by their HDLink product.by John Foley - Café LA Re: reasons for HD? - 18 years agoBoys and boys, It is all about the FCC mandated date for cessation of analog television transmission and the hearlding of MPEG-2 video and AAC audio transmitted over those airwaves. It was originally set for 2006 but industry pundits are balking and the FCC may move it to 2007 or 2008. The bottom line to me is it will come and we will have to be able to deliver a 1920 x 1080 images for broadcaby John Foley - Café LA Re: Overshooting the 4.7 gig limit with compressor 2 - 18 years agoThe actual limit for a single layer DVD is 4.37 GB of real data. The 4.7 is like getting a 120 GB drive and only getting to use 111 GB of it. Compressor is a try it and see what it brings with different frame rates of encoding. Try around 3.5 Mbps for a 2 hour Qt file and see if that will meet the quality and size you need. Don't forget the audio is extra.by John Foley - Café LA Re: Dropped Frames... - 18 years agoHORRORS! You can't stream video off the same drive as the application is running on! Get yourself a second BIG disk and then report back. You don't need 10K drives (they are smaller) and stay away from Maxtor drives is my advise.by John Foley - Café LA Re: Best HDs for G5 2.7GH - 18 years agoActually Western Digital drives were poor over 10 years ago but I have been using WD drives for the last 5 years with narry a hickup. Out of three Seagate drives I have purchased - one has had an early failure. Just stay away from Maxtor on Macintosh systems.by John Foley - Café LA Re: FCP 5 and jaguar? - 18 years agoI hav been running Tiger 10.4.1 and Final Cut Studio for 2 weeks on my Quicksilver 2002 dual 1.0 GHz MAC.by John Foley - Café LA Re: Install sony dvd-cd burner dru-500A not work - 18 years agoYeah, I can't type. The P and B are not even close on the keyboard. :-)by John Foley - Café LA Re: external hard drive - 18 years agoBarry, Since you didn't specify which MAC systems you are using - it is hard to answer your question, specifically. I would suggest that you look at adding an internal Serial ATA RAID 0 into your MAC. DVCPROHD is 100 Mbps or about 12.5 Mbytes per second and is capable of being captured or edited on a single Firewire or internal disk, but if you are going to be using 2 or more streams, you willby John Foley - Café LA Re: Where in the world is my project saving? - 18 years agoSearch for that project name to find out where it is!by John Foley - Café LA Re: Install sony dvd-cd burner dru-500A not work - 18 years agoSince you are on such an old version of the operating system - 10.2.6? try downloading BatchBurn for OS X10.2 and see if that doesn't clear up the problems.by John Foley - Café LA Re: What is PCI X--- - 18 years agoPCI-X is the fastest version of the PCI bus available. It can host not only HD capture cards but also large bandwidth PCI cards like FiberChannel disk controller cards. I personally, would always want the one PCI-X slot, just in case (futures)by John Foley - Café LA Re: Our thoughts are with our friends in the UK today - 18 years agoMy prayers are with the peoples of the free world that soon, these inhumanity neanderthals will be erased from the face of this planet. Stay strong - we support you with every breath of our lives.by John Foley - Café LA Re: Chronology w/in bins - 18 years agoWhy not use the Thumbnail view of the bin and place the clips from left to right in a descending order for visualization of the reel.by John Foley - Café LA Re: Lacie vs The World. Reason for failures? - 18 years ago" Do you know how much energy you need to make a cell phone vibrate? I've seen cell phones throw themselves off the table when they rang" Yeah, they would need a car sized battery to cause a magnetic interference pattern. Since cell phones use microwaves, they are just that - micro. But, I think I will start wearing a tinfoil headpiece to save my brain from microwave cooking.by John Foley - Café LA Re: Seagate 250GB drives - 18 years agoOne additional bit of information to have it all make sense. That Firewire enclosure also uses ATA-100/IDE disk drives with a bridge board that converts 1394 to IDE. The older units also were ATA-5 with the same address limitations. Some units are capable of being updated by using a firmware update program.by John Foley - Café LA Re: Seagate 250GB drives - 18 years agoBrad, The G5 uses Serial ATA drives, not ATA-100 or IDE drives, like the one you just purchased. G4's use IDE/ATA connections Natively, but with limited addressing. Your choices are either to buy a Firewire enclosure to house that 250 GB disk, and then you will be able to access the entire 250 GB volume or a controller that supports ATA-6 with IDE connections like ones available from www.soby John Foley - Café LA Re: buying a used Mac for editing - 18 years agoIf you are serious about being able to adequately edit video and video compositing titling and other chores, you'd be best to find a recent used G5 2.0 GHz MAC or better. Your money better spent. Yes a G4 can do much, but a G5 would be the best use of your resources.by John Foley - Café LA Re: Seagate 250GB drives - 18 years agoYou did nothing wrong. The computer interface you connected the 250 GB drive to, is not capable of addressing over the amount of disk space that you are experiencing. You will need to add a PCI disk drive controller card that will support ATA-6 addressing. The MAC's up to the Dual Mirrored G4 versions use ATA-5 addressing that supports only 127GB of addresses.

Something we don't know about??by John Foley - Café LA Re: Final Cut Pro 3 - 18 years agoI wonder if FCP 3 will even run on Tiger and QT 7?by John Foley - Café LA |
