Do the lasers automatically attack people who stumble on to the forums and start a new thread entitled "HELP!!!!" and containing "how do i make a dvd?????"

Way to go Avid, great job you're doing there, keep it up... am I right in that this whole thing has been going on for over a year now? Well I've been personally chasing this issue for about 9 months now, but from what I hear Avid initially promised support back in mid 2005...

720i50 doesn't exist as a format, it's probably 720p50 from a JVC HD200/250. Which Avid does not support, and probably won't for a very long time. It's possible to get the footage into Avid, but it's a huge pain in the ***. Will be made a little easier when 5.7 comes out (hopefully later this week) with a 720p50 project type, but you'll still have to

I believe Nicked was referring to an announcement regarding 720p25 HDV1... We don't have one of those yet.

Thanks Tugger. So you record footage to Quicktime on the fly? It doesn't capture then encode or anything like that? Will be interesting to see what Adobe does with DV Rack - I imagine there'll be some kind of update when the new Production Studio appears. Mind you, it might just be new pants (ie Adobe branding on the same product) a la Dreamweaver CS3

Noticed this on the DV Rack HD 2 product page: * Avid QuickTime Support * Record to a format that imports extremely fast into Avid-based editing systems. From what I gathered elsewhere this seems to mean it will record to DVCPro HD 100 in a QuickTime file ready for fast import into Avid. Does anyone here use DV Rack and has tried this? If that works

Uh, yeah, what Grayboy said...

Looking at some of the official posts from Avid, they've been very carefully worded to avoid directly mentioning 720p25/24 support. Note this post of Marianna's: http://www.avid.com/exchange/forums/post/157564.aspx Note the title of that thread. We're clearly talking about 720p25/24. Here's a select comment: "we do have a target of Q4 to deliver a number

I'm fascinated to see if you get Avid working under Vista, I gave it a bash with one of the release candidates (there's a thread here somewhere about that). I wouldn't want to be relying on it tho... When I tried I got video playback but not sound. I'm running Vista on my laptop and I've noticed some apps behaving weirdly when it comes to overlay, it

Let me know if you find a workable Windows solution comparable to Avid... I wonder if Adobe will up the ante with the next version of Premiere?
