m147 -Preliminary tests on 8Core Mac Pro3.0Ghz with MTRON 32GB SSD Internal 3.5Inch. x1900 4GB ram.

Apple intermediate codec

512x512 14 layers @ 25fps
640x480 14 layers @ 25fps
720x486 14 layers @ 25fps
720x576 14 Layers @ 25fps
768x576 14 layers @ 25fps
800x600 14 layers @ 25fps
1024x768 10 layers @ 25fps
1280x720 9 layers @ 25fps
1440x1080 8 layers @ 25fps
1920x1080 7 layers @ 25fps
2048x1080 7 layers @ 25fps
3072x768 5 layers @ 25fps
4096x2048 1 layer @ 25fps

The avantage of MTRON over rotating discs - is that there are no dropped frames.
And this performance is consistent over every file - regardless of capacity or size of file or disc free space

Richard,

You conducted extensive testing in this other thread showing frame rate and ultimately spit out results for different resolutions. I was eagerly hoping you would do the same for your Macbook Pro and publish them for us.

I am interested in knowing how many layers I could run of DV, PhotoJPG, and Apple Intermediate Codec on a Macbook Pro as a single output and then also using a DualHead2Go or TripleHead2Go on a Macbook Pro.

there are rather a lot of different models of mac book pro's!
with different firewire ports and configurations and bus speeds- and different graphics options.
they dont have anywhere near the bus bandwidth or graphics power of desktop machines-

with laptops you have to use a different strategy - begin with very low expectations and move upwards if it works.

do you have a mac book pro yourself?
