Anyone Know *Why* There's No HDV Output Over FW?

Hi
Seeing as FCP 6 can ingest and play (via Cinema Desktop) HDV/ MPEG2 fine, does anyone know what the technical reason is that it can't stream playback (after rendering edits if need be) or lay back to HDV tape via the built in FW port?
After all it's just a 25mbps data stream right?
Are there just too many HDV formats? Or is it a matter of support still coming?
Thanks for any illumination
Lee

When you're editing DV, the DV stream is converted to analog for viewing externally by the camera/deck/box you're using connected to the FW port on your Mac... so the problem here isn't that FCP can't do it... (it never could and probably never will) . The problem is that the hardware to do this isn't in any HDV device... Bet it's not cheap either. HDV is an MPEG stream, and to decode that in real time converting it to analog would take a LOT of heavy lifting... expensive heavy lifting.
I'd suggest that you get a capture card that will do this... I'd look right at a Kona LH series card. Better yet, if you have an intel Mac, is an Io HD for the job. Capture as ProRes instead of HDV, and you'll find the whole system is faster, and graphics look a ton better.

    If this is true, then it is because no one is making these apps.
    Why else would it be?

  • Does anyone know why there would be slight latency using a digital out (Toslink w/adaptor) to my amp, where I don't have latency with an analogue cable? Is it the amp that is causing the latency?

    Recenty used a Macbook Pro with analogue out to my amp and there was no latency at all. Bought a new iMac and got a Toslink cable with adaptor and connected to same amp. There is slight latency using the digital out! Can anyone explain why? I don't really want to go back to using the digital cable because I have the surround sound setup that works well with the optical cable.

  • HT3669 This article doesn't tell me what the new software adds to my printing capabilities. Does anyone know why there's a software update and what it does?

    Does anyone know?

    Not specific to Lion. Most of those printer updates state:
    This download includes the latest printing and scanning software for OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6.
    However, you'll not find out what's been improved, added, or fixed.

  • Imported mp4 into GB but no sound. Meters indicate there is playback. Anyone know why there is no sound?

    Imported an mp3 file sent to me via email into GB. The meters indicate there is playback and there is wave images on the track but to sound. The file does play in iTunes without a hitch. Any suggestions? I really need to be able to do this since I am collaborating with another writer for a stage production. Thanks!

    Ha! Solved the problem in case else has the same issue.
    I went to preferences in GB and set sound output to Built0in Output. It had defaulted to "Airplay". That fixed things.

  • Does anyone know why there is a moving shadow under the calendar app in my dock?

    I realize that it probably nothing, but I have been having issues as of late with my macbook pro, so I thought I would see if anyone had any suggestions.

  • Anyone know why there's an icon of a man wearing a top hat?

    i just updated apps and a weird icon appeared of a man wearing a top hat looking through an eye glass.  I can't seem to delete it.  any ideas what it is and why?

    Just based on the icon itself, it looks like something related to the New Yorker (but hard to say for sure). But it isn't the New Yorker app. Looks like a book mark saved to the home screen. Tap and hold on it until it starts to wiggle, then tap the X. You might try a reset first: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • Does anyone know why there is a slight lag in the brush tool in CS6?

    This is not a huge problem, but it is annoying.  I have 8 gig of ram and a nvidia NX8600Gt vid card - never had problems in CS5.5 and expected CS6 to be better, but it is not.  Am I the only one experiencing this problem?

    The normal suspect is the video card driver.  CS6 puts a lot more demands on video card.  Make sure driver is current, and keep looking for latest updates.

  • Does anyone know why there isn't a UK English App language option in the Creative Cloud App preferences on Mac?

    I'm sorry to hear that.
    I'm not affiliated w/ the developer, just a happy user that gave up fighting the apple podcast app a while ago.  I used to have a bunch of smart playlists in itunes for my podcasts, and come home every day and pathologically synced my phone as soon as I walked in the door, and again before I walked out the door in the morning.
    Since my wife was doing this too, we were fighting over who's turn it was to sync their phone.
    Since I've switched to Downcast, I no longer worry about syncing my phone to itunes at all.  I can go weeks between syncs.
    Setup a "playlist" in downcast (ex., "Commute") and add podcasts to that playlist.  Add another playlist ("walk" or "workout") and add different podcasts to that one. 
    Set podcast priorities on a per-feed basis (ex., high priority for some daily news feeds, medium priority for some favorite podcasts, lower priority for other stuff).  Downcast will play the things in the priority you specify, and within that priority, it will play in date order (oldest to newest).
    Allegedly, it will also sync your play status to other devices, although that is not a feature I currently use and can't vouch for.  It uses apple's iCloud APIs, so to some extent may be limited by what Apple's APIs can do.

    Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
    BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
    Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

    I don't know the answer, personally, because I don't use Lightroom. This is the Camera Raw forum.
    Someone here might answer your question, as there are a lot of clever people here, but, if not, you might try here:

    Because you need to get Mavericks and then the current iWork applications from the Mac App Store and not Software Update.

    Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
