  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

System Feedback Wanted

MacBook Pro 17" 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo
1GB 667MHz RAM
Final Cut Pro 6.0.2
QT 7.3.0
OSX 10.4.11

I'm also getting the single frame output with QuickTime ProRes422 and other codecs.
 
REDCINE report:

Using Mac Pro 8 core and MacBook Pro 17 " REDCINE works well on MAC OS X Leopard 10.5.1.

Also REDCINE works well using Windwos XP SP2 on MacBook Pro (1/4 res High realtime playback).

REDCINE for Windows XP SP2 on Mac Pro still is not good because of my display's driver bug.

Maybe I should pull out one of ATI Radeon X1900 cards to try out with one card.
Anyway Windows XP SP2 is one nightmare system and time consuming to fix all things.
Later will come another report about solving this bug.

Below here are the System profilers about hardware, graphics/display and memory from the both computers:

Loads redcine but interface is hosed, buttons ROUGHLY in the right place, but wrong size and distorted, and fonts tiny, garbled and misplaced...looks like 'wingdings' run through a blender.

Both Red Alert and Red Cine function correctly. Red Cine however will not exit and a (battery out) power down is required to restart mac
 
System 1:
Macbook Pro
2.33GHz C2D, 2GB, ATI X1600, OSX 10.5.1

Everything seems to work OK, render times are on par with what others are reporting. However, my shot icons do not display images of the clips, they are just grey boxes in both the player and library. Everything else seems to be working just as it should.

...Somewhat confused over the grey box problem. Because I don't have that problem on system #2. ...Is it an OSX 10.5 / Leopard issue?


System #2:
Apple iMac 24" 2.33GHz C2D, 2 GB, ATI X1600, OSX 10.4.11
All working just fine, speed seems the same as on the Macbook Pro. No grey box/icon problem.

System 3:
AMD X2 2.4GHz Dual-Core
2GB RAM, nVidia nForce4 chipset, EVGA G-Force 7800GTX 512MB
Windows XP, updated current, latest drivers from nVidia.com.

Everything works great. Playback is choppy unless it's on 1/4 res high or a lower setting than that. Overall, speed seems to be on par with my Macbook Pro. Render out Tiff sequence is SLOW!!! ~724 frames or whatever for two clips in the timeline took about 38 minutes, much slower than I expected for this system since it's still a pretty good sysem for everything else. HDD is not a bottleneck, system had two 500GB 7200rpm Hitachi drives in a RAID-0 as the work drive.

System 4: (just tried this one for grins)
AMD FX-55 single core with G-Force 6800 Ultra video card, 2GB RAM and nForce-2 chipset.

All working very well, but it's slower than the other systems.

Will be testing on an 8-core (dual 2.66GHz quad-core) PC tomorrow afternoon. It's running Vista with 8GB of RAM, will be interesting to see what happens when REDCINE can have a bit over 3GB allocated to it. Video card in that system is an nVidia 8800GTS, don't remember how much onboard video memory (512MB I think).

I will try to test a couple Mac Pro systems over the next week, but don't know when/if I'll get to that. They're not my systems and I don't have them directly available. I'll be upgrading my G5 Quad to a new Intel-based Mac Pro once Apple updates their offerings.
 
I've fixed the grey box issue with the Macbook Pro. Removing REDCINE and then re-installing seems to have fixed it.
 
System #01 : Home PC
Vista32 Home Premium
Q6600 (G0) stock

Runs sweet as :) Load, shot, colour, output, all good.

System #02 :Work PC
XP Pro sp2
E4400 stock
2Gb Ram
ATI X1650

Does everything except output. all outputs garbled or black :(
Can see clips across the network (Linux servers, OSX & PC work stations) and local drives but cannot create clips.

System #03 :Work OSX
OSX (10.4.10)
2x 3Gb QuadCore Xeon
8Gb Ram
RadeonX1900 video card

Runs sweet as from local raid drives :) Load, shot, colour, output, all good.
Yet to test transcoding across the network.
 
iMac Intel Core 2 duo 2.16
Nvidia GeForce 7300GT
OSX 10.4.11
1 GB RAM

Loads great, plays back 5-10 fps. Exports only black QT files in all formats. It seems to take the time to render everything out, but when I check the QT file, it's just black.
Image sequence export seems to work.

Any ideas?
 
athlon 64x2 dual 4800+ 2.41 ghz
3 gb ram
Nvidia geforce 7800 gtx
xp sp2

works fine with both clips. qt (h264 and cineform) output only the 1st frame
 
Intel core duo 3 GHz
2 GB RAM
Nvidia 8600 GTS
XP SP2

Preview fine, generates usable output with some codecs.

Prior to the installation of the Nvidia, had an ATI Radeon X600 installed. With that video card, no output with any attempted codec, was usable. Similar failed results with two other machines with ATI graphics cards (X1300 & X1900) installed.
 
Playback is realtime at 1/2 res. High on Mac Pro 8 core, 9GB RAM, Leopard 10.5.1, ATI Radeon X1900XT, RAID-5.

At Full res. High playback is very slow.
