Thank God.
I've been checking into Media Composer lately...Apple has fallen pretty far behind in same areas. Here's hoping they make a big jump forward.

I just hope they will show a 17” MacBook Pro with at a least a 1920X1080 resolution screen, if not 1920x1200. It’s very likely that it will have HDMI outport but hopefully it will also have an import capability so that you can bypass HDV straight to your laptop and choose an intermediate codec instead. For the hard drive, it better be a hybrid that also has flash memory. Hitachi is about to release one of those for laptops. If Apple does all that, it would the perfect laptop for videographers.

For now, you can buy a Mac Pro, or use a Power Mac, and get one of these cards for HDMI capture:

My guess would be the Quad-core Mac (true quad-core, 4 processors on one chip set) might be announced at the WWDC in June or thereabouts.

A lot of stock footage companies want the HDV footage on a MJPEG file. Using a MJPEG codec to begin with, will save either you or the footage companies from converting all that footage. As for all that storage that you are going to be using, Apple should have a Blu-Ray burner inside the next MacBook Pro. 1920x1080 screen (minimum) 2 HDMI in/out ports Hybrid Hard Drive Blu-Ray burner -Now that’s my kind of laptop. |

But this is merely rumor-speak, obviously Apple will release the 8-core Mac Pros at the very least.

That's what I'm saying, too, a Quad-Core Mac leads us to an 8 core.

You are probably right. I was told by an Dell sales person, that they are upgrading their 30 inch monitor, probably around March. I think Apple will do likewise.

NAB, huh? Then it won't be computer oriented. It will be media oriented - and high end at that.
How's this for a rumor: Apple will overhaul Logic to be a Pro Tools killer... http://arstechnica.com/journals/appl...2007/2/27/7253 Now THAT sounds like an announcement for NAB, with lots of add-on hardware to boot...

Note that the "rumor" article above mentions an LCD touch screen. That would be consistent with Apple's direction on the iPhone. Dang, I should have trademarked iScreen...
