Again, I've never used FCP so I have no answers for you, just guesses.

Perhaps you could try over at creativecow.net, maybe they have an FCP forum? Their Vegas forum is superb, so maybe they'll have a comparable FCP forum...

Re: QuickStream DV special pricing for DVXuser.com

Excuse me folks, but I've got a stupid question about this little cybernetic wonder (maybe it's already been mentioned before, but I'm too lazy a man to read all of the posts 8)). Here's the stupid question :
When in Quickstream-recording-only configuration, can we review our shots on the DVX or do we need a computer to do so ?

Re: QuickStream DV special pricing for DVXuser.com

As near as I can tell, that would not be possible with the current version of the QuickStream. I'm waiting to see if they'll announce a version with transport controls, where you can play back clips like a deck (as the FireStore does).

Re: QuickStream DV special pricing for DVXuser.com

the quickstream guy was telling me I think that the GL2 can preview it, but he was talking about something wierd and didnt really understand. I have no idea how to playback off the quickstream.

Look at shining tech, they make the a Quickstream type version with transport controls, minus the armour. That company however seems to take forever to release the product (same with MCE, I remember waiting 2 years from the Quickstream announcement till it actually was released) so maybe at nab they will be showing it off.

Based on the your review I'm now thinking after I purchase the DVX I will just buy the 90min QuickStream DV and bypass my original idea of buying a second cheap MiniDV cam for a deck. It would be a tad bit more then the cheapest MiniDV cam but In my opinion would be alot more convenient all around.

ok, i'm finally doing tests w/ both my 270 min. quickstreams for an upcoming 3 1/2 play. the quickstreams record footage into the hard drive sometimes but most of the time not?! i've tried 2 different cameras, firewire cables, and firewire ports...still no footage! any quickstream users experience this? this is not good...i will call tech support tomorrow...
 
Re: QuickStream DV special pricing for DVXuser.com

Re: QuickStream DV special pricing for DVXuser.com

the POINT of the quickstream is to record footage to the hard drive. i dont get this last post? maybe your settings arent right if youre using the DVX. read the review here it tells you how to set it up...
 
Re: QuickStream DV special pricing for DVXuser.com

Re: QuickStream DV special pricing for DVXuser.com

sorry, i DO know how to setup the quickstreams for shooting. i've tested them w/ my dvx as well as canon dv cameras. my mistake...only one of the drives records footage directly from my cameras, the problem w/ this drive is it keeps on powering down on my mac which prevents me from retrieving my footage. on my other quickstream, no luck in recording footage at all, whether i'm on standby w/ a tape/no tape w/ the dvx set to both. the drive doesn't power down like the first one...anyone else having these type of experiences? i'll be calling mcetech to see what may be wrong...1 drive defective may be acceptable but 2 drives is ridiculous...

Re: QuickStream DV special pricing for DVXuser.com

if the red light goes on it records.. just make sure that red light is on.. Ive never had a problem. however, when i used to use the ziplinq cable sometimes i had to press the record button on the quickstream instead of relying on the dvx button.. but after a cable change it works perfect.
 
Re: QuickStream DV special pricing for DVXuser.com

Re: QuickStream DV special pricing for DVXuser.com

what do you mean it powers down on your mac? like it runs out of power?
 
Re: QuickStream DV special pricing for DVXuser.com

Re: QuickStream DV special pricing for DVXuser.com

that's the thing, i've been pressing the record button on the quickstream w/ the red light turning on...one drive has the recorded clips, the other never...when i mean powered down, the quickstream makes that sound and acts as if it's in sleep mode(the sound when you turn it off).  the drives is still on but once it makes that sound, i can't retrieve my clips any longer(this happens only on one drive).  i've read the manual left and right as well as your review so i know i'm setting everything correct.  hopefully mce can fix these problems and i sure hope they aren't continous because i spent $1600 on these drives.  i am in their neighborhood so i will keep you up to date...
 
Re: QuickStream DV special pricing for DVXuser.com

Re: QuickStream DV special pricing for DVXuser.com

take it back... If that happened to me I would never ever trust the drive and always wonder if it actually recorded, and the obviously is no good.
 
Re: QuickStream DV special pricing for DVXuser.com

Re: QuickStream DV special pricing for DVXuser.com

ok, been spending much of my lunch break w/ mcetech...one quickstream is actually fine.  the reason why it kept powering down even w/ the power adaptor attached was because the power adaptor was trying to catch up to the recharging of the internal battery but couldn't.  i recharged my battery overnight and attached the power adaptor and its been running all day long.

the other drive however still wouldn't record dv footage...tried different things w/ mce tech support w/ no luck.  finally just dropped off the darn thing this afternoon they said that the files got corrupted some how.  gonna pick it up tomorrow so hopefully all is well...

I've been trying to get a quickstream but don't seem to be getting a response when I send to the email and ask about the DVXuser.com discount. Does anyone have a direct contact?

Re: QuickStream DV special pricing for DVXuser.com

The quickstream is now 2-4 weeks behind in shipping. I ordered one on the 10th of March and was told 10 days. Recently I checked my order status, they said it could be 2-4 weeks, the rep couldn't verify.

If you want one, you will wait. Don't plan on using it in your production until it arrives.

I don't think they expected this kind of rush....which scares me! How are they going to support this thing, if they are getting backed up.

Good luck.
