Has anyone in the past month been successful downloading the trial version of DV Rack HD2? I have signed up numerous times, and emailed more times than I care to count with a 0 response. This is not like the Adobe I am used to. I would really like to try the time lapse mode of this product before plunking down $500 bucks and find out it doesn't do what I want. Does it have a 2 gig limit in this mode? Will it capture at frames faster than 1 fps (like 5 fps). I know it will capature to an AVI only, but will the time lapse mode capture days on end if the drives are big enough? Are there any tweaks to compression quality? Are there tweaks to frame sizes? Will it work with still cams like Cannon EOS. Does it ship with a good player, or does it use media player? I am asking a lot for this product in this mode, but I would really like some answers. I get the impression it will not ship until Vista is fully regression tested, which could be many moos away.

Unfortunately, Adobe is in the middle of assimilating the Serious Magic folks/products into the Adobe way...
The web has been one place that it's been evident unfortunately.
I doubt it works with an EOS (or any other still camera)...how would it capture? I think Canon has an application for capturing numbered still frames...
As far as I know, it runs as long as you want it to...as you said, as long as your drive is big enough.
Frame sizes are video framesizes...DV or HD...
Any AVI should play in any AVI compatible player. As far as I know the resulting file is nothing special.
It has a range of adjustments...I don't know off hand what the limits are...I know the bit on the web site says "1X to 65,000X..."
