[MacDV] Final Cut Xserve/Xsan query...

[Richard Brown]

Hello all...

We are currently losing a bit of hair over getting our 15TB Xserve/Xsan 
on fiber channel to speak correctly to our Final Cut stations.

At the desktop, the Xsan appears as a drive, but in the Final Cut setup 
dialog, it only appears as a folder ROUTED THROUGH Macintosh HD.

This seems to truncate as well as route the throughput via Macintosh 
HD, and the resultant files on the Xsan are generally damaged, without 
ownership and unreadable by Quicktime. 5

With HDV footage coming through our Kona 2, Final Cut capture dies at 
150MB, or after about 1 second of capture.

We are going out component from the Sony HDV deck into the Kona 
breakout box then into the Kona 2.

Should anyone have done such a setup, we'd appreciate any notes.

Thanks,

Richard Brown
