#Sony update?
Message #116970
Just curious as to whether the new Sony drives are becoming readily available and if any problems have been encountered? Also saw an ad recently for a Mirror CD-R and it said it was a Sony mechanism. Wonder if this is the new one? Any info? Reg Harris
There is a company Carlson-Strand that makes a mounted adapter for the VX3 allowing use of 2 XLR mics. The adapter is mounted to the bottom of the unit so the unbalanced cable is short compaired to the longer balanced low impedance cable from the mics. I don't know if…
I believe I replied to you in the BPForum. Hope you're getting all the information you need. Reg Harris
No, you're correct. I didn't have the exact info at the time I posted, and have since seen that byte article you mention. I posted primarily because I feel this is an exciting development for the consumer who always has to deal with hardware/os decisions when chosing programs. Perhaps soon…
Media 100 now utilizes a media 100/Quicktime codec. So your media100 files are not QT files, but can be access by QT applications via the codec bypassing a true file export. so you can take your footage and fairly seamlessly work with it in Premiere, CoSa Etc. The import/export time…

Topic of the Week: Audio
Message #3691
Actually, that issue was the Oct or November issue. Sorry for earilier mixup. Reg
Might try taking a look at Videograpy Mag in (I think?) the Jan issue- had a segment on Audio for Video. Not really review, but more of a update, but it may help. Reg
Steve- The Radius folks should probably answer this, but since I'm on I'll try. [Please no flaming-I'm just trying to help] I've followed this issue for a long time because of my need to produce long projects. This is an area that VVS has problems. (also 16bit audio on PPC…
Macs in video now and ..
Message #3619
I for one have to say I'm very excited over the progress of the PRep standard work between IBM, Motorola and Apple. In case you don't know, The three companies behind the powerPC chip are working on a common standard of hardware. If sucessful, sometime next year we'll be able…
Thank you for your very rapid response. I look forward to reading VideoFile Reg
I understand (BTW I go by my middle name (or nickname)–Reg
Also:: is there a standard place for the Topic of the Week? Maybe a folder of its own? I just stumbled across it this week.
For audio on a Mac, we recently obtained DECK II 2.1 (now 2.2 and I'm waiting for it!). This is a hard disk system, which supports both the Digidesign hardware (audio Media, sound tools and ProTools) as well as the build in 16 bit audio of AV Macs and PowerMacs.…
I have a Seagate 4gig barracuda in my Media 100 system (from APS) and have had absolutely no problems with it. I just orders 2 of the 4 gig MS Av drives so I'll have the opportunity to test soon. BtW I love APS and their customer support. Drives are…
I would love to receive a sample issue of video file as well. I'm taking a look at APV as well. BTW, I'm sending for one of your tapes today, so I guess I'll have a 3 month trial subscription soon, but I'd like to get a look at an…
Thanks for your advice Reg
I'd really like to see how Lightwave would perform on the new 604 PowerPC Macs coming in a couple of months and thereafter.
Thanks for the info….my fingers are still crossed hoping!

Message #3045
Thanks again for help. Your thoughts and suggestions are appreciated. Reg Harris
Thanks for the input. Regarding lightwave's coming to the Mac–I read somewhere that there was the high possibility that sometime this year it would be ported both to the Mac and PC to increase market share.(Because of the loss of new Amiga sales). I don't know if anyone else has…

I posted a querry earlier regarding the Pinnacle RCD 1000 drive for use in audio and CD ROM multimedia development. I have also noted a new MicroNet drive in a similar price range. Before I commit to a drive, I am looking for any thoughts about the Micronet, if anyone…

Version 2.0 of Media 100 is native.
Thanks for the additional info. I recently received an issue of VideoPro Mag but now I can't find it to save my life. I can't remember if I filled out a card for a trial subscription or not (prior to receiving it). If I'm on the mailing list I hope…
Thanks for the information re: Manny's and Thoroughbred. I'm in Seattle and Sam Ash is not a local change. At one point I had a great relationship with a sales rep at a local dealer who took the long view that I would be buying a great deal of equipment…
I agree that IBM compatibles are catching up, but I think that Mac based systems still have a significant lead in nonlinear systems and will maintain that for some time, particularly in the high end area. One consideration is what will you use your system for: type of end products…

#CD R drives
Message #1811
I'd like to ask if anyone has recently purchased or has opinions on double speed or high CD-R recorders, specifically for use as test runs of multimedia or audio projects. Since pinnicle micro came out with a $1995 double speed CD-R (the CDR1000 or something like that) the idea of…
