into the following:

– 50p
– I-Frame only
– HP@HI
– CBR

No audio is required for these animations

So far we keep getting this error:
MPEG2 encoder: Invalid video horizontal size(1920)/vertical size (1080)/frame rate(50.00 fps) combination.

if i convert it with 25fps it works fine but not with 50fps?

Can anyone help?

i use Maya 2012 and Realflow 2012, i thought about the mac mini server, what do you think? you can give me cheap setup based on linux (fedora) for my needs (between 500$ to 1000$).

thank…

Right now I added the Nikkor 50mm F1.8G to my list.

My budget for this initial purchase is 1500$ -1700$ but I am planning on buying more parts maybe 3 – 4 months down the lane.

So please drop your suggestions.

I cant afford to buy a pro body right now because my dad is paying for all this gear:p.So I am trying to squeeze in all that I immediately need to get me started with photography and vfx.

Thanks.:)

My current internal is a 5,400rpm 320GB. I’m looking at getting a 7,200rpm, hopefully 750GB or there abouts.

I’ve looked at the Momentus XT, with the on board 4GB SSD chip, not sure entirely whether this will benefit me though due to the amount of different programs I use on a regular basis?

Other than that, I’ve been considering the Seagate Momentus and the WD Scorpio Black.

I noticed that Western Digital also offer the Scorpio Blue, which is just 5,400rpm, but goes up to 1tb!! It’s the biggest 2.5" I’ve seen so far!
Also, is cache a big thing in performance? I notice that some (ie. Scorpio Blue) have 8mb, and some have 16mb?

To shed some light on my situation, my main work flow generally involves FCP, Motion, Color, Nuke, PFTrack, Houdini, RealFlow and Logic Pro.

Any help or advice would be fantastic and greatly appreciated 😀

Thanks in advance guys.

What would be the best camera I could get with a budget of bewtween 2.500 – 3000 euros with the following spec

HD (full)
4:2;2 ( even if only with just straight to disk )
24p and 60p

the above are essential anything else would be of secondary importance although ability to change lenses would be an excellent plus as would great low light capabilities and with lowest compression possible.

My ideal camera would have been the Sony F3 35mm camcorder but my budget goes nowhere near it. I need to be able to pull good chroma shots with it.
any suggestions, advice, anecdotes or links to start me off in my search?

Thanks in advance
