Catalyst in snow leopard

[NevBull]

Also - the standard Quicktime player in Snow Leopard has the edit/save features of Quicktime PRO built in - so no need to buy Quicktime PRO! As part of the Snow Leopard upgrade process, the installer moves QuickTime Player Pro 7 to the Utilities folder, so it’s still there if you want it.

Have you tested HD content playback?

do you have any machines to test?

please test them if you do.

we need more people to test .... in case there are problems ...

there are too many variables in machines to make any conclusions yet

I am running 10.6 on my hot backup machines. They are all outperforming the 10.5.8 machines.

I have been able to run 3 layers 1920x1080x29.97 having Audio with minimal frame drop.

8 core 2.66 processors
Mtron 7500 SSDs
8800 Graphics
Phoenix 1 lane 2 HD input

I can run 2 layers of the same and 2 layers of 720x480@29.97 at same time with no frame loss.

I'm on tour and testing during down time. My last leg I didn't get as much testing time as I wanted.

I also have a slow SSD which I need to zero and defrag content on. With 100Gb of show content, that is going to take a while. Once I do that I can run tests.

I'll report more on results after the weekend.

Oh and Apple's brilliant idea of changing the Gamma was a bit annoying to correct.

defrag ssd?

isnt the access to every bit of data is the same time? irrespective of read position.

Do not Defrag SSD. It will only wear down the flash memory!
