How many firmtek cards did you use?
I thought they were going to do a 4 port card, but its not on their website.

You used an external self-made case?
Did you use apple's sata interface as well as the firmtek card?

That's wierd,

I guess that explains why it was playing back so fast.

Strange, I'll have to do some more tests with this.

DVC Pro 50 is good though.
Twice the data rate - for those who complain about dv, and only just slower.
You can get 3 layers on a PAL system at 25fps, and 2 on at NTSC system at 30HZ.
In my testing it took around 11milliseconds to decode the DVCPRO 50 frames.

I'm using the APPLE and 1 Firmtek but I think I would get better results with 2 firmteks and bypass the apple.

2 Drives are in the internal bay, 2 are in external enclosures that I modified to be Sata to Sata (this was before they made the sata to sata cases). When I travel with it, I take all the drives out and put them in my carry on bag. I use a PCI slot with a notch just big enough to allow the cables to go through so I don't disturb the airflow within the G5. ITS VERY IMPORTANT TO KEEP YOUR G5 AIRTIGHT. Do not remove the pci slots and allow the cables to dangle or your machine will overheat, especially pushing highdef for long periods of time.

Now that the maxisata internal option is out from Promaxx, I'm going to up to 6 drives, 2 in the apple area, 3 in the maxisata, and 1 in the superdrive area. Take the superdrive out and make it external firewire 800. I think I'm going to try out RAID 5 this time (if it will work) and see what it gives me.

I will put one Firmtek in slot 4 and one in slot 2 then my decklink in slot 3.

Hopefully I will get the time soon.

The firmtek 4 port PCIX 133 version is awaiting fcc emmision tests, they have one, they just haven't released it.

I've found that converting HDV to Photojpeg 68 with compressor works best. Runs at full speed 2 layers, 3 layers drops down to 18-24, 4 layers drops down to 24-16, 24-16, 24-16 then 7 weird that the last layer runs really slow compared to the others.

Anyways, has worked for years like this. My Hi Def HDV Cam was a good invstment, got a lot of great footage from it.
