DVX with Andromeda - greenscreen + my35 grabs

I think they would mod the XL2 before they did the HVX. But that's just a guess on my part.

I've been nagging Juan to do the HVX for a while now. Should be easier R&D, since the HVX is probably very similar internally to the DVX, and the HVX will probably outsell the XL2 by at least 20:1 by the time this year is over, so it'd be a bigger market for him too; more potential customers.

All we gotta do is find someone willing to sacrifice their HVX for the sake of science. Any takers? :)

When you say run out of bandwidth do you mean you get skipping at some point or are you meaning running out of hard drive space?

I have this and hoping it can handle the load.

When I say 'out of bandwidth' I'm saying that the drive can't write the data fast enough. I was just writing it to my macmini drive, the same single drive I was running the capture program on. I think the best way to do it is to use your computer as the operator, and then capture top a seperate hard drive attached by firewire.. or a RAID array of two drives.

Regardless, everything has to be fast and be able to sustain the write speeds over a period of time. When it crashes, it's not really so bad, it just stops recording, and there are some weird frames at the end. It tells you that you have a bad take. I haven't gotten any skipping yet, have you?

I'll try to get some footage out today.

hey what do you need to edit this stuff, do you need a totally assed out system or something.

"assed out" that's funny. When you're talking to your friends, do you say "Man, my dream is to have this totally assed out system."

To answer, yeah, it does need to be assed out to capture, but not to edit, 'cause what you get from the capture is a "raw" file that you can render out as different types of clips, hi-def, still sequences, dv, whatever. You edit with the low-res dv footage, make your edit decisions and then use the hi-def clips to render out full-res. It's like working with film, basically, a total pain in the 'ass' but worth it 'cause you can always go back to your pristine, super hi-resolution source.

It's a lot to explain.. it's better if you just go to the site.

Oh, the clips are down 'cause stickypod is changing into this weird site with ads and a pre-sized viewing window... I just have to find a new hosting site now, and I'll put some stuff back up.
