As has been pointed out, speed is not everything for most people. If I am someone like Weta Digital (who did the SFX for LOTR), then I want my render farm to be as fast as possible with the software I use. I'll also specifically tune my software …

No they shouldn't. That said, it's stupid that the only post purchase option is a USB adapter, the bluetooth adapter should be a user installable item.

Quote: Originally posted by Siri I am afraid not all the formats use same DV codecs. I am also ex Sony R&D and a Broadcast Engineer. Facts are that after first D1, which got active video of 160 mbs since SDI is 270 mbs with total pay load. T…

Hi, Congratulations - You will LOVE your PowerBook! You should get a DVI-VGA adapter in the box - My PB17 came with one. What the probably asked you was if you wanted a DVI-ADC adapter to use one of the previous model Apple displays - the new…

The recording format is not particularly relevant unless you've got a DVD recording camera, or one that records in MPEG4. miniDV, Digital8, MicroMV, even standard DV (just a bigger tape) all use the same DV codec and all communicate using FireWir…

Buy one now. There's no hope of a PB G5 any time soon - nor a Frescale 2GHz G4, nor a dual core PB. I bought a 1.3GHz 17" in November last year. It's plenty fast enough for me - even running virtual pc with Rational Rose is usable and everythi…

Quote: Originally posted by quagmire Bring that topic up again when the G6 is around the corner. Most likely the G5 will remain a 90nm chip. Might also stay a single core. The G6(a power6 deriative) will reach the 65nm since it is based off the P…

I use my Mac for video production - mostly weddings, but I'm also working on a documentary. For me the upgrade is great - The big issue for me at the moment (on an upgraded DP 1.3 G4) is rendering times in FCP, compression times for MPEG-2 in Com…

I don't do 3D. I don't play games. I edit video and audio. The 2.5GHz machine is perfect for me - it's incredibly fast, and I simply don't need the high level 3D performance. Look at most of Apple's pro users - video, publishing. Both wi…

Quote: Originally posted by occam If the AppleInsider pics are authentic, I'm afraid we know that the next generation G5 will be just that... a Power4-based G5 (i.e., 970fx). If it were Power5-based 975/980, then I suspect Apple would use G…
