Hi, Just from your message we created a sphere and on the top and one side we placed square boxes. The Sphere took up about 2/3's of the screen. At .9 the video looks a little bit squashed. At 1.0 it was way to long.. I use a Sony 13"…

I'll stick my 2 cents into this and can tell you that according to DPS Adobe version 4.0a doesnt handle 29.97fps correctly. It causes frame drops every 5th to 6th frames. I have Adobe Premiere 4.0a but havent had time to experiment. I am useing Razor Pro.. Speed Razor Mach…

I usually read a lot of Perception problems or praises. Since I am in line for one I was wondering how everyone is doing good or ???? not so good… I was wondering if anybody had big audio sync problems and if they have solved them. Should I be looking…

#180999 #PAR or FAST Message #181008
Thanks for the info so far.. I am wondering if they can tell you if they can record a drive all the way full and still keep the 6MB per second data rate to get 4 to 1.. This is what I am concerned with. The problem I had with…
#181002 PAR or FAST Message #181007
I read this same article. When I talked to people at DPS they tell me that the IBM dirve needs to much hand holding to work well and probably wouldnt even make the CUT I wish you could pin these guys down a little at DPS they give you such…
#180911 PAR or FAST Message #180927
>> Since I'm pondering this same issue although not on an immediate >>time schedule as you I would be curious as to what other NLE >>systems you considered and why they wern't acceptable. I have seen the Media 100 which I thought was a very cool NLE except that it…
#180920 #PAR or FAST Message #180925
Please let me know what they say. I have a hard time getting through to DPS. A simple software RAID 1 system would be great. You could get tons of thruput on the Micropolis Gold AV drives.. Thanks Bob.

#180506 PAR or FAST Message #180547
Don, Have you seen the new perception??? I have, its way cool. A much better implemetation for video capture etc. But for all NLE you still have to have lots of muscle to render transitions or effects.. Which makes NLE still a little slow. I know with the Fast the…
#178981 #PAR or FAST Message #180451
I dont know if you mean the PAR of the new PVR if you are talking the PAR then no contest the FAST machine is better except in price. The new PVR on the other had can transmit 6 MB per second. (I didnt believe it but its true) uses…

Very cool, awesome even, Questions What happens if I use just one or two transitions in a project.. Will they be created seperate and then the files played in a sequence ??? or would I render these first and then combine them later?? With the PERCEPTION whats the longest straight…
Hi, >>>I know that to use the DPS PAR with Razor Pro you need something called a "decimation chip" to do video editing. Do I need this same chip to make the PAR work with Adobe Premiere. If so, how do I know whether I have the new chip or…
Auto Windows DLL Message #53851

Maybe I am just confused but I have tried the windows mcisendstring commands with messages that Autodesk says they support under windows and get nothing. an example "play aliasname from 1 to 10 notify" does nothing at all and if I say wait it does nothing either. I am confused…
