...needed 6 updates before the user-interface/desk-top was working correctly and sustainable..... Clearly the factory loaded versions were outdated and needed immediate replacement. ... problems are in decoding software for .... And what more.

Theres is hardly electronic hardware without software in it :) How many updates did your Apple hardware receive over its lifetime? I was talking about hardware that is not so software-related (although of course they all have some kind of software on them). How many times have your digital camera, ...

There is always a quick fix for the bugs. It is usually called "If you buy our next version it will be more stable and better, and..." ;) It is quite interesting how so crappy software survives for a long time. Would anyone accept a piece of hardware that needed patches, upgrades and bugfi...

FW800 is way too slow, once you go Esata there is no going back. ;)

All my macs support Esata too, both Macpro and my iMac. But all Esata support have to be added from third party suppliers. That is so sick, IMHO.

Esata should be the default connection for all external drives! :roll:

There are no macs that support Esata natively. And iMacs don´t have any place for expansion cards (unless you hack it, open up your iMac and replace the wifi card with a miniPCI Esata card).

Congrats, congrats!

... and then I must say this is a bit funny... I have two kids myself, both daughters. Is it a Filmshooting thing? 8)

Haha, this thread is totally crazy by now (it has been for quite some time now, but whatever). Sorry guys, but there is too much to read here, I don´t even have time to go through everything that has been written here after my last reply! It is quite interesting though that a lot of you guys are ...

Hah, I think it is kind of fun. It makes films look old and aged. Much like some of the old films we receive for transfer each day, actually.

And that is what it is supposed to do, I guess? It lets you make fake old films.

Hah, thats fun!

lots of lots of lots of text.... I don´t even have time to read all that you are writing, and I totally fail to see why you won´t just order a SD transfer from whatever transfer shop that suits your wallet and use it as your SD reference. That would be super easy, and that would be comparing ...

Lets define an SD transfer as that done with bad optics. Why should we? But surely you must agree that the optics and signal handling from a typical SD transfer are made "at SD quality level". I am in no way a expert on optics, but I think that good HD optics are far better than good SD o...

I'll be doing both transfers (SD and HD) myself. Then you will be using equipment capable of HD transfers to so a SD transfer. It is still not the same as a SD transfer done on a SD machine, and it never will be because the optics and so on are of higher quality than on a SD capable machine. ... we...

Make sure you send your super 8 test film to someone who transfers film to SD, for your SD-version.

Oh, the teapot is all nice. I was talking about your "difference-image" as the "ugly teapot". Because... well it is quite ugly to look at all day (the difference-image, not your original-image).

Roger, this is actually almost the other way around... He believes that a HD transfer is better. Great. But he goes so far as to say that super8 has image details way up to 3k in resolution... By upscaling, downscaling and whatnot. (Instead of getting native-transfers to whatever resolution you are ...
