Would it be better to work with keeping media on internal PCIe Flash storage?

Hello,
I've always been trained to keep media on a separate drive away from the boot disk when editing video. I'm using Final Cut Pro X and that's the way I've always worked, but I'm going to be getting the new Mac Pro with 1TB of the superfast PCIe-Flash internal storage and I'd really love to take advantage of that tremendous read/write speed.
My question: Would I be draining down the system's performance in keeping my 1080p Pro Res 422 media and FCPX projects on this new type of internal storage or would it still be better to keep my media on a slower external thunderbolt connected SATA hard drive?
Other tech specs of this new system: 8-core xeon E5 processor, 32GB Ram, dual FirePro D500 graphics.
Thank you,
Reynaldo

(Drooling...)
I suppose the best way to find out is to try it.

Does the Beta * version work with Roboform,,, if not why not

Why didn't you make Beta 8. work with Roboform, Skype, Yahoo Toolbar and others.

No, it is blocklisted by Mozilla due to that Site Advisor extension being the #2 cause of crashing the Firefox 5.0 betas. McAfee was notified of the problem long before that extension was added to the blocklist. Now it is up to them to fix it. <br /> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/blocked/
I have read that McAfee is working on a re-written version that is projected to be available in the 3rd week of July.

Would Microsoft's surface keyboard work with the ipad air ?

Hi, I know that this might be deemed as stupid but I am just curious: Would Microsoft's surface keyboard work with the ipad air ?
Is the surface keyboard bluetooth enabled ? If so, then it should work, right?

No, it would not. The Surface is optimized and uses a different operating system than iOS7.
I'm pretty sure that both the Surface and iPad Air can use Bluetooth; but Bluetooth peripherals might or might not be recognized.

I had a Tascam US 122 usb interface, but it didn't work with OSX Mavericks. What model would work with this? Would the US-144 mkii work with my system?

Thanks!

You didn't mention the kind of track in GB you are trying to create, but if you are connecting the keyboard with a guitar chord to the Tascam, you will need to set up a Real Instrument Track in GB to hear anything. If your keyboard has a midi out, use a midi cable to the midi input of the Tascam, create Software Instrument Track, and you will hear something. But with a guitar chord, it won't send the right signal to a Software Instrument Track. The headphone jack in the Tascam monitors the signal coming back to it out of GB (if you choose the US-122 as your monitor in GB's preferences), so you wouldn't hear your keyboard if the track is not set up correctly. It could be the drivers, but since you didn't mention the type of keyboard or the type of GB track, I thought that might be a possible answer as well.

Is the "512GB PCIe-based Flash Storage" on the new mac worth the extra cost? I am comparing with a refurb with better specs (faster CPU, larger hard drive) and from what I undersand the PCIe flash storage is the big differentiator in cost.

hello - i am considering two macbook pros
NEW - http://store.apple.com/us/buy-mac/macbook-pro?product=ME294LL/A&step=config#
REFURB - http://store.apple.com/us/product/G0ML1LL/A/refurbished-macbook-pro-27ghz-quad-c ore-intel-i7-with-retina-display
The refurb actually has a faster processor and a larger hard drive. From what I understand, the big difference in cost is the new macbook pro contains "512GB PCIe-based Flash Storage" versus the refurb "768GB Flash Storage".
Is the PCIe flash storage really worth the extra cost (and smaller size)?
PS - Also I believe the brand new one has 2 GB graphics memory as opposed to 1 GB graphics memory. I don't really care about that as much as I won't be doing a lot of video editing or gaming.

Some are some are not. Otherwise Apple has a ton of Mac's sitting around that have been returned by customers under their 14 day No Questions Asked return policy.
But they not just Returned and Resold. They go back to Apple, checked out (Tested) any parts that are not up to spec replaced and then repackaged in a plain white box to be sold as refurbs.

Would a rear view camera work with a garmin nuvi GPS

If I buy a garmin nuvi with Bluetooth would a Bluetooth rear view car camera work with it.

Only a few garmin models allow a back up camera to be connected. Check the link below for what garmins have this option.

The Garmin 760LMT is the only one I could find on BestBuy.com that has this options.

You will also need a cable and a back up camera for it to work.

I have a MDD dual 1.25ghz processors and I would like to know which sata drives will work with the Sonnet Seria ATA pci card?

Which sata drives will work with the Sonnet Tempo Serial ATA card?

Pretty much any of the SATA 3.0 Gbps drives.
Western Digital Black and Blue and Hitachi 7K drives are all good choices.
If you try a SATA 6.0 Gbps drive, it will need to be jumped to limit to SATA 3.0 Gbps.

I have a Sony TV KDL40EX525. It does not support Netflix. Would you know if it works with Apple TV?

I have a Sony TV KDL-40EX525. FULL HD. LED. It does not support Netflix. Does it works with Apple TV? Sony were not able to help me.

I'm not sure what you mean about Netflix, but it's not relevant to answering your quesiton. As long as your TV has an HDMI input, Apple TV will connect to it. And AppleTV has a Netflix App, which you can use. You should be fine.

Would the Apple Universal Dock work with any cables?

Does anybody know if the Apple Universal Dock works with any A/V composite cables for video out from the iPhone or the Nano 3rd gen., or do I have to buy the Apple $50 cables too?

I have a U2 iPod, and I can connect it to the TV with regular composite (RCA) splitter cables getting video and audio out.... I tried and now I know that I can't use the same cables to get video out of the iPhone or the 3 gen Nano, but I thought that using the Apple Universal Dock I could. So you are saying that even using the Dock I need the 30 pin to get video out?

Would Qosmio G50 overheat while working with closed lid?

If I work with the lid closed (i.e. switch on with the remote control) so that I just use two external monitors, will the G50 overheat or like other dockable laptops it's quite happy working like this?
Anybody know?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Why should the Qosmio overheat?
I mean I dont see any connection between overeating and closed or opened lid
The cooling ventilators are placed at the bottom of the unit and the air blow out from the notebooks side so its not matter if the lid has been closed or not
The notebook should not overheat

Which version of Oracle 9i is better to work with 9iAS R2 ?

Can Anyone tell me which version of Oracle 9i is certified to work with 9i Application Server release 2 ?
Oracle 9i Release 9.0.1 or Oracle 9i Release 2 ?
Thanks.

Currently, Oracle9i Database Release 1 is the only one certified against Oracle9iAS Release 2. But Oracle9i Database Release 2 certification is partially completed (exceptions are Portal and Clickstream). We are working to complete the certification, so that Oracle9i DB Release 2 is fully certified against Oracle9iAS Release 2. I don't have an estimated date of completion.

What is the best way to work with mixed media in 1080 timeline?

Hi there,
I have a project shot mostly in 1080 24p but a bit of 720 24p and 4x3 30p footage.
What is the best way to work with this mixed media?
Thanks!
Steven

Hi Shane,
Ok just to recap (thanks for being patient by the way)...I have put some questions in here...feel free to write in caps to respond and we'll put this baby to rest!
1) I will work in a 1080p FCP sequence, correct?
2) HD 1080p footage captured as applepro res hq I will leave as is and work with?
3) HD 720p footage which was captured as applepro res hq. Can I just drop in 1080 timeline and let FCP do its work? Or should i run through compressor, if so what setting shall I submit it too?
4) I dont have a budget for an external hardware to convert SD to HD...should I capture my SD Beta through Final Cut and just leave and let FCP do its work? Or should I run through compressor? If so what setting shall I submit it too?
5) For for my master sequence in FCP am I not using an I-Frame format apple pro res if I am using my apple pro res hq 1080 footage as my formatted sequence? I am not sure what you mean by GOP?
6) I also found some 60p footage 1080p XDCAM compressor shot with the same XDCAM camera. I put in the 1080p 24p timeline but it was pretty choppy...any ideas of this conform?
Thanks very much for all your help it has gone along way,
Steven
Saying what CODECS you are working with was my question. 1080, 720, 4:3...really says nothing. There are a dozen 1080 codecs, another dozen 720 codecs, and nearly 100 4:3 formats.
Best to capture all the footage to one uniform codec.
Second best is to work with one format and let FCP conform the rest to that...IF and only IF that format is an I-Frame format like ProRes. GOP formats as master sequence formats cause TONS of issues.
What I'd do is work 1080 ProRes, just add the 720p footage (Use Compressor to convert it if you didn't have a lot, but if you had a lot, just add it), but I'd capture all the SD 4:3 footage via a Kona 3 or Matrox MXO2 as 1080 ProRes. Hardware conversion of SD to HD is much better than anything FCP can do. AE might do good as well. But then use Compressor to convert 29.97 footage captured (you can't convert 29.97 to 23.98 when you capture) to get to 23.98.

Zen touch, crashing with Windows XP professional, not working with Windows media pla

i will start with an apology if someone has posted this up before i have just had a quick look and could not see any think about this.
if i turn my computer on with out running any other programs and connect the zen touch the computer automatically turn on the zen touch media player program. this work's fine as long as no other programs are running.
i have tried to work the zen touch with Windows media player but this dose not work and the computer crashes every time.
i have window xp professional and have all up dates from Windows. my computer is very new and has more then enough memory and ram.
please can you help. i am not to happy with the zen touch computer program and would like to know how to fix this problem.
thank you for your help
Rob the monkey

I wonder if there are problems here associated with the use of the zen touch on SP2 machines. Interestingly I cannot transfer music from my PC to my Zen 20gb on a SP2 machine but I can do so on my sisters machine which has got SP. Obviously having the lastest firmware is a good idea though but I believe there are issues associated with SP2 and as you say you have all the latest updates to windows perhaps the problem lies there. Sorry if this doesn't help you at all

Does the X-Fi remote work with other media progra

I just picked up an X-Fi Platinum, seems like quite a nice card so far. As evident by my topic title, does the remote work with the other media players like Windows Media Player? So far it hasn't seemed to work for me, but perhaps I'm doing something wrong? I would be a little disappointed if it only worked Creative's Media Centre, which so far I'm not too much of a fan of.
One other question, I've seen an option for the "on screen display" but even when its checked as being "enabled", nothing happens, and I can't find a clear answer on how one brings it up in the first place.
Any comments or links to past discussions I might have missed would be very appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for your answer!
What do you mean with "true 5. output in games". Is there a difference between hearing games or hearing a movie in the context of 5.

What are the downsides to working with Proxy Media?

My iMac is one of the more powerful ones: i7, 2 internal drives (the main one is a 256 GB flash drive), ATI Radeon HD 5750 w/1 GB VRAM, 16 GB RAM. But I notice that when I'm trying to apply multiple effects to a compound clip and then use crop to zoom on it, it starts dropping frames all over the place and barely plowing through.
I'm wondering if I should edit with proxy media. I know one disadvantage is the amount of space it takes to have both proxy and regular media, but I have plenty of disk space. I edit AVCHD footage that I optimize upon import.
I will also be doing a lot of multicam editing.
So I'm thinking proxy media is the way to go. But I have to wonder what the disadvantages to using proxy media are. For instance, since you're editing with a lower-quality version of the video, does that mean that when you do things like color correction you aren't getting a good a final result when you switch back to the regular media?
I'd appreciate any advice/tips.

no, the color correction is done with the 'HDef' material.
proxies is just a pre-view thing; esp. when doing multicam, the amount of data shoveling from/to harddrive is enormously ... theoretically, even a fw800 connected super-fast Raid can handle only a max. of 10 HDef streams ...
I'm on consumer/hobbyist level - handling here 4 streams from usb-drives - as proxies, no problem.
when editing is done, you switch back to original/optimized and export in shiny 100% ...

Would it be better to work with keeping media on internal PCIe Flash storage?
