Arnie Rameriz, CEO, MCE (www.powerbook1.com) This is what I have determined thus far in all my trial and error attempting to get my Sony PC 1, mini DV camcorder to interact with my upgraded, cardbus enabled pb 2400's (which I dearly love, thank you very much for the upgrades): A/ 400mhz/112ram/10gig/9.0.4 Mac OS/RATOC firewire/Sony PC 1/IMovie 1/2 B/ 320mhz/80ram/6gig/9.0.4 Mac OS/RATOC firewire/Sony PC 1/IMovie 1/2 With both pb 2400's I can send material to the computers from the PC 1, with the ability to control the camera from the computer software; edit the material; play it back on the computer; export it to Quicktime format and post to the web. However, I cannot export any material, edited or otherwise, back to the camera from either pb 2400 with out severe distortion in both audio and video. I am adamant about having the ability to export back to the camera so that I can then make analog VHS copies of edited DV movies for my mother and friends who are not computer literate, but can operate a VCR. I took my Sony PC 1 over to my neighbor's and hooked it via his firwire cable to his Sony desktop/software and it worked like a charm both in the DV in and out modes so I am convinced that the camera is o.k. Since I am having the same problems on both of my pb 2400's I am wondering now if it could possibly be a defective RATOC PCMCIA card, at least in the play back to the camera function. Therefore, could you ship me another RATOC card, charge my VISA, and if the current one is defective, credit me with the cost when you receive and confirm that it is not working properly. What do you think as I am at my wit's end here and am ready to buy a new iMac SE DV to solve my hardware/software problems unless we can sort this out, and if we do, then I will buy a bigger hard drive from you for the pb 2400/400mhz? By the way, I have run TechTooPro version 3 with optimization on my 2400 so that it is totally defragged to eliminate that problem, not to mention, paring down to the minimum of extensions, running Conflict Catcher, Disk Warrior, etc. Please respond ASAP as I will buy me an iMac DV SE if I don't hear from you.
