If you are already jealous, by all means don't overclock that 960! It might make you cry. The i7 is a great CPU.

Jeff,

It's a "bug" in Windows 7 that might not ever get fixed because it really doesn't affect anything. It is just a wrong description in the file properties, has nothing to do with the actual...

I haven't had any experience with the 6 core chip. However, I have an overclocked i7 920 that is pretty close in PPBM4 benchmark to an overclocked i7 980x. Both are running at the same clock speed,...

A .m2t file isn't AVCHD. Not sure why it's getting shown that way in Windows. Disregard the whole "AVCHD" portion... it doesn't apply. What you have is HDV in at 30 frame per second, but...

Not quite sure what setting to "RAW DV" does when in HDV mode, but I would try the 1080i30 (60i) preset under the "HDV" option when creating your new sequence. Your footage will be 60 interlaced...

Brant,

You mention Cineform files. Are you running a new beta version on CS5? Did Cineform release their new software already?

Randy,

What is your hard drive setup that your AVCHD files reside on? That might be an important factor. Are you using a single drive or a RAID array?

Paul,

Steve is right again about the power supply... I'd suggest following that direction and going with the Corsair. I've also never heard of Azzo, and it would suck to have a PSU go out and...

Not sure who in their right mind would choose NOT to utilize GPU acceleration if given the option. I don't care if the 285 is end of production life or not, it's still a great card and is on the...

I don't think Tramm's firmware version is broken (in need of tech support). I think he's running into a Magic Lantern roadblock on the 7D?

Paul,

If you are going to use Premiere CS5 as your NLE, then don't buy anything other than what is on Adobe's certified list. The 285 is on that list, and I can tell you it's a great card. I...

Steve,

I think the problem may have been confined to the 7200.11 series Barricuda drives by Seagate. It was an issue with the drives temporarily going into an unresponsive state long enough for...

I wouldn't use a RAID 1 for your video drive. That's all. Your options:

Video in RAID 0 (2 drive min, but I would suggest 3 or more). This gives you NO redundancy, but is fast and cheap. ...

Jim, you can also stack a circular and a linear polarizer on top of each other to get the same "variable ND" effect. It works well for me.
