Is the JVC SR-DVM700 compatible with Macs and Final Cut Studio HD?

Hello all.
The company I work for is seriously thinking about purchasing the JVC SR-DVM700 next week (based on my recommendations). What I have discovered however is that there are very little user reviews and even less info on whether it is compatible with Final Cut Studio HD. Everything I have found 'seems' to indicate that it will work but I need a definite answer. The lack of user info makes me a little nervous.
Here are my questions:
If this system is incompatible, what would be a good alternative within the same price range?
What (if any), are the problems that crop up while using it and are they easily fixed?
What are your general thoughts on the system?
I really like the idea of a MiniDV, DVD and hard drive all in one machine but I need more info in case I need to put the brakes on this purchase.
Thanks for all your help.

This is a FCP HD, but no Final Cut Studio HD
My guess is that you are trying to run FCP 4.5 HD on an Intel Mac.
It isn't reliable even if you could install it.
You need FCS2 -- at the upgrade price.

Is the camcorder JVC GZ-EX210 compatible with mac and imovie?

Is the camcorder JVC GZ-EX210 compatible with iMovie?

I should add, my answer above is for "intermediate" or editing codecs. These are high quality codecs that preserve as much quality as possible in the editing process. Once you have finished editing, you would convert (or compress) to a delivery codec. THe intermediate codecs are too large to stream over the internet, or to play on your iphone, so you would convert.
The best codec for this purpose is h.264, which provides a really good quality at a relatively low data rate, This means good quality with a relatively small file.
h,264 is a subset of the MPEG4 standard.
A h.264 movie can live in a MOV container, an MP4 container, a M4V container, and perhaps others, like AVI.
By default, iMovie creates h.264 files in the m4v container for LARGE and smaller. For 720P and 1080P. it creates h.264 in a MV container.
You can tweek the defaults by SHARE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME

External Hard Drive Compatible with Mac and Windows?

So my old laptop is a Dell Latitude and I bought a Western Digital external hard drive and put all my files/pics/music on it. The information the WD came with said its compatible with Mac and Windows, but when I plug it into my brand spankin new Macbook, it doesn't register with the computer and won't show up. What's going on?

I recently ran into that problem. In order to have the hard drive compatible for both PC and Mac it must be in a FAT32 format. In order to do this though all your files will be deleted (in order to reformat). You can do this by plugging in the hard drive into you mac and going under disk utility and there you will find your hard drive and under erase change the format to FAT32 and then you press erase (all will be deleted off the external drive though)

I have two "MACs" and Final Cut Pro 7. I need a license to use this same software on both "Macs" How do I get it?

You don't. You can install the same copy of FCP-7 on two macs (as long as you own both macs). You can't operate both copies at the same time.

How to format flash drive to be compatible with Mac and PC

Hey guys, I was stupid and formatted my 8G flash drive to a different format by accident. Not FAT32 which it was originally. It originally worked find with my Mac and PC. I can't get it back now. I went into Disk Utility and the only way I can format it back is to MS-DOS(FAT) and all the other Apple formats. When I erase it to MS-DOS(FAT) and plug it into my PC it comes up and wants to format it to a 200MB FAT32 patition?? How can I solve this? Thanks

Hi,
FAT32 (called MS-DOS in OSX Disk Utility) is the file system to use for compatibility with Mac and PC.
The "200MB partition" message you get also indicates that you changed the partition scheme on the flash drive to GPT (GUID Partition Table).
Use Disk Utility to verify this and if needed change the partition scheme back to MBR (Master Boot Record).

Mac Book Pro and final cut studio 2

Hi,
Bought a MBP last year and am looking to purchase Final Cut Studio 2 Universal. After looking through some discussions I'm still unsure how well this package will run with my setup. Yes it will be fine, or yes it will run but with some limitations, or yes it will run but I should get a different video card, etc.....? A definate yes or no would be appreciated and any limitations or known issues. I will be using a120GB external hard drive for my video footage.
Thanks, Mick
Sorry if this is posted in the wrong area or if these questions have been answered. I'm new to Macs and forums and wouldn't like to spend that much cash on a maybe!
Mac Book Pro 15 Mac OS X (10.4.9) Intel core duo 2.16 GHz 2GB ram/Radeon X1600 256Mb 80GB hard drive

Yes, it will be fine.
The only limitation is Color which needs an external screen with at least 1650x1050 to be kind of useful though it runs at smaller resolutions.

Slim 2010 Mac mini & Final Cut Studio 3

Hello all,
Is anyone running Final Cut Studio 3 on one of the new 2010 slim Mac minis or mini server? Is it really slow or is it running OK.
Thank you all very much.

Some things to consider when you are deciding what to buy...
What are your needs?
Are you playing with FCS or will it be paying the bills?
If you are planning on doing a lot of work then you will need an additional hard drive to your system drive either internal or external.
Some machines don't allow for adding internal hard drives.
You will want at least 2G's of RAM to run FCS
Make sure you get a video card that can handle Motion if you plan on using that app.
There are plenty more gotchas that can pop up depending on what your plans are so think it through and remember sometimes going cheaper can cost you more in the long run than if you had just shelled out a little more in the beginning

Mac Pro - Final Cut Studio 2 - Adobe Production Premium - NO FLASH PLAYING!

I recently purchased a Mac Pro with Leopard, Final Cut Studio 2, and Adobe Production Premium suite. I got everything setup yesterday, and I exported a Quicktime reference file from Final Cut, and brought it into Flash CS3 Media Encoder. The file seemed to encode fine, but when I try to open it, it shows that the Flash Player opens, but the video never actually opens. I also tired to import the FLV file into Flash Pro, and it acts as though it imports, but it does let me preview it. The ONLY thing that I think could have caused a problem is that I also have Sorenson Squeeze installed, which has its own On2 VP6 encoder. Again, this may have nothing to do with it since I copied the file to another Mac machine that did not have Sorenson on it, and downloaded the standalone Flash Player, and it acted the same. Any ideas on why FLV files would not play back would be greatly appreciated. I have ALL updates installed for OS X Leopard, as well as the CS3 collection. Thanks in advance.

After downloading an FLV player, and realizing that Adobe Flash Player will not work, all is swimming.

Mac Pro and Final Cut Studio 5.1.2

I've had problems trying to export mpeg files from final cut pro using compressor after having updated all applications to their current versions (FCP 5.1.2, Compressor 2.3, Qmaster 2.3, QT 7.1.3...) including firmware, OS and security updates. Since I was kind of in the middle of a project I ended up reverting back to the original universal crossgrade of Final Cut Studio (FCP 5.1, Compressor 2.1, Qmaster 2.1...) in order to get the desired results of a muxed mpeg. Now, before I go back to trying to resolve this issue of updating the software, I would like to know if anyone is running Final Cut Studio on a Mac Pro with all updates current (5.1.2, 2.3...) and with the ability to export muxed mpeg streams - both audio and video in the same file. Also, I have posted more specific questions regarding these issues in the compressor and FCP forums but decided I needed to hear from some Mac Pro users who have had success with the Final Cut Studio updates. BTW, I have done all the updates of Final Cut Studio (5.1.2, 2.3...) on a G5 quad at work and have had no problems whatsoever. I'd just like to have everything up to date and functional. Other than trying to get this worked out, I have found my Mac Pro to be most excellent. Thanks in advance.

Dave, thanks for your input. It would crash out during the compressor export and the failure reason would say 3x Crash Server Down in the compressor box. I haven't tried an mpeg-1 because all we broadcast are mpeg-2 program streams. Most of the stuff I export is no longer than 10 - 12 minute segments. If you could, try exporting as an mpeg-2 muxed. Some other possible factors - I had captured the original footage on a G5 quad at work, put them on an external drive and then loaded them onto the Mac Pro and imported them into the project. Could there be a difference between DV codecs of the PPC and the Intel processors? Now that I'm at a stopping point I'm planning on trying to do the update again. Just hoping to catch something I might have missed. If I were a total computer illiterate I would say user error, but I'm not.

I'm new to working with soundtrack and final cut simultaneously?

I have to edit a documentary in the coming week for a project. I want to use soundtrack pro alongside final cut pro. Could someone put simply the process of the two working together? for audio connected to video clips in final cut, is the only way to automate these with final cut?
using the "send to soundtrack" in final cut, only exports the video so it leaves me only being able to enhance the project by adding new sounds. is it possible to edit the sound files in final cut by using soundtrack pro?
without exporting every sound individually and re-importing...thank you. im new to this so that might be a stupid question. i apologise if so

1. Finish your project in Final Cut with rough sound. Lock your picture.
2. Select your sequence, and "Send to" Soundtrack Pro as a multitrack project.
3. Finish your audio.
4. Export whichever splits you want from Soundtrack as AIFFs. You can export the whole mixed soundtrack, or vox and mix minus, or whatever you prefer.
5. Duplicate your finished sequence in Final Cut. Delete all audio. Import your finished mix(es) into Final Cut, and overwrite-edit them into the timeline.
6. Export your finished movie.
Soundtrack Pro and Final Cut Pro really aren't meant to be used together, per se. Rather, the workflow goes from Final Cut as a multitrack project and then back to Final Cut as AIFFs.

Installing and Using Logic Studio and Final Cut Studio 2 On the Same iMac

In March of this year, I switched from being a long-time user of PC's to a 24 in. 2.4 GHZ iMac. In late May I purchased Final Cut Studio 2 and Aperture and have greatly enjoyed using both of these applications on my iMac. Both run with no problems under Leopard which I installed shortly after it came out. I am now considering the purchase of Logic Studio since I have enjoyed midi sequencing and audio editing for years on my PC's but wish now to do this on my iMac.
I note that two of the applications included in Logic Studio (Soundtrack Pro 2 and Compressor 3) are a part of the Final Cut Studio 2 suite of programs that I already have installed on my iMac. How will Logic Studio handle this issue when I run the install of that software, i.e. will it be aware that I already have Soundtrack Pro 2 and Compressor 3 and just have those install options grayed out or will it overwrite my FCS2 installation of those two applications? Are there other issues or conflicts between Aperture or Final Cut Studio 2 applications and Logic Studio that I should know before installing Logic Studio?
Thank you very much in advance for responding, and I look forward to reading this forum from this point onward.
Tom

Thanks again for your prompt responses, blayzay. I look forward to getting and installing Logic Studio. If anyone has any precautions on using it with FCS2 or with Leopard, please add a comment to this thread.
