Okay, now all you got to do is tell me what you're talking about.
Edit: Okay, I was looking at the top of your post. I see now

hmm...
surprised there is no improvement to multicore CPU enhancement during rendering.. or multithreaded ac3 rendering...

Consdienrig my machine renders 4-8x realtime no matter what i do, my CPU is still floating at 40-50% spread evdnly across all 4 cores.....
Im not complaining that its meeting the highest of the high end systems with the render test, but if there is more room for speed which the HW can cope with why not use it...

Its not a bottleneck as these drives can stream MEGABYTES per second, not MEGABITS

Fixed issues with long-GOP no-recompress rendering (HDV and XDCAM HD).

does this mean i can print to tape WITHOUT having to re-render with no-recompress turned OFF?

hmm.. what i really want is a M2t timecode out facility.
Also within a clips properties there is some wasted space, and today was a perfect example of how this space could be used...

Edit clip tags...

les say youve got one looong M2t (or DV AVI) and youre culling the crap
Now u find a nice part of the clip that might need ot be moved somewhere or what have you.
When u right click THIS clip (once its been trimmed) id like to be able to write down some notes.
Once i write a note a little yellow square shows up on my trimmed cli telling me that ther eis a note on this particular clip.

Now, how could this work? Easy..
Check the start and end timecode of the clip (once trimmed)
Have one massive text file with all the timecode references. This information would be taken from the Vidcap file created during capture, as this information already exists.
Now, when u add a "note" the text file is updated with that note and slotted into the specific timecode.

It shoudltn take up many resources (hell its using notepad FFS) but it will definately assist in working on a HIGE timeline..

as an example, right now im working with 13hours worth of raw footage... there is ALOT to go through and some shots were taken at different times. Now if i could isolate those shots and note where they shoudl go, its easier for me to
1) Find the clips
2) pre note required edit/corrections
3) resync to original (if required)

As it stand, what i do is create a new video track, and move those clips up. Then I create a marker and leave otes on teh marker.
This gets VERY messy but it works...

The biggest issue with doing this however (moving clips to a new track) iiis ripple editing. Maybe the ripple button should flash Yellow or something when its on.. ..

And I can't believe I just downloaded both ( almost 200mb ) in about 60 seconds.

Sometimes a crap 2mb video takes longer than that.
