Hard Drive Review: iomega

Posted on October 27, 2008November 18, 2010 by Michael

About 4 years ago I hired an assistant editor to log and capture footage for a documentary.  I gave her a brand new iomega hard drive and 40 hours of tape. About a week later she gave them back – all captured “safe” to the hard drive. Then she added, “oh yeah, the drive was…

Out with the old, in with the new – part 4

Posted on October 24, 2008November 18, 2010 by Michael

The other day I discussed Apple’s move to DisplayPort on the new MacBooks.  Their other big news was that they completely dropped firewire on the MacBook, and only have firewire 800 on MacBook Pros. In blogger terms this is old news (over a week ago) and has already been discussed to death by many other…

Is AVCHD useful?

Posted on October 22, 2008November 18, 2010 by Michael

You may have noticed this ad on my sidebar for the Sony HD-RTG1.  I hand picked that ad because it seemed like a great semi-pro video camera.  It is reasonably priced, records HD video to a memory stick, and is small enough to fit in your pocket.  It might not be as professional as a…

Moore’s Law (roughly) suggests that electronics double (capacity) every 18 – 24 months. I believe initially it had to do with the size and speed of transistors.  But it’s held mostly true in my experience for processor speeds and hard drive capacities – every two years you get twice as much for the same price….

Hard drive install time lapse

Posted on October 21, 2008November 18, 2010 by Michael

In keeping with the current theme, here’s a video of me installing a new hard drive in a G4 Powerbook. At the start of the video all the screws had already been taken out. This was my wife’s couch computer.  I sold it to a buddy for almost enough to completely pay for it’s replacement:…

Out with the old, in with the new – part 2

Posted on October 21, 2008November 18, 2010 by Michael

This weekend we had the carpets cleaned which required that we picked up everything off the floors.  In several rooms this meant stacking items on top of a bed or a couch.  When the guys were finished, seeing all that fresh empty real estate was inspiring. (I like open spaces in a house.) So we…

Out with the old, in with the new – part 1

Posted on October 20, 2008November 18, 2010 by Michael

I had originally intended to focus this blog solely on tutorials for After Effects, Final Cut, DVD Studio Pro, and other pro video topics.  But recently I decided that I needed to broaden the scope a bit.  I still intend on having tutorials as a section of the site and to offer advice and help…
