A Primer on NLE Video Quality A Primer on NLE Video Quality

In this article, Ron Shook attempts in a relatively non-techy way to put some perspective on a range of quality issues inherent in today's Non-Linear Editing technology. Perhaps as you shop for your next NLE or the services of an NLE/editor, you will have a better background for asking significant questions and separating the important stuff from the selling hype.

LaCie d2 Big Disk Extreme LaCie d2 Big Disk Extreme

A few months back Walter Biscardi had the eye opening experience of testing one of the first Firewire 800 drives to come along. At that time, he did not believe all the hype about FW800 being able to run Uncompressed video with any reliability. But that test sure made a believer out of him. Now Firewire 800 is making the evolution from a single drive unit, to multiple drive units striped together in RAID format with LaCie introducing the d2 Big Disk Extreme series. In this article, Walter takes this new offering from LaCie for a test drive. Walter Biscardi is a leader in both our Final Cut Pro and Pinnacle CinéWave forum communities where Cow members have long appreciated his friendly and insightful input.
