System Feedback Wanted

I have 2 GB in it. However, my number was running under bootcamp in XP. For REDCINE I think we still have to do some additional optimization for OS X, so that might be a bit slower. I'll look into that.

...maybe it's the difference in the x1900 drivers between XP and OSX, the mac ones underclock the x1900 apparently.

[Rob Lohman]

That's interesting information. Do you have a source for that?

Noticed it on Barefeats, i'm no expert but Apple seem to underclock grx cards to keep the fan noise down.

Apple "detuned" the X1900 XT to run at 600 core clock speed and 650 memory clock speed. In the Windows PC world, a Radeon X1900 XT typically runs at 625MHz core clock speed and 725MHz

REDCINE works with this configuration. However, it is very slow. I believe this may be the lowest-end system yet reported to work. :-) ...oops, spoke to soon. It displays and exports from 2k R3D OK. Displays 4k R3D also, but the exported TIFF is garbaged. Maybe not enough memory on the video card?

I am wanting to process multiple clips in Redcine and output individual QT files. I'm on an Intel quadcore MacPro. When I start the process, it works fine for the first 2 clips, then I get the single frame for the entire clip problem for the rest of the shots in the sequence. It's repeatable and if I babysit, I can cut off the 2 processed clips and keep starting over. Obviously this is not an optimal workflow. The only thing I can think that might be a little different is that my user profile is on our X-serve, not a local user.

Has anyone had this problem, I couldn't find anything by searching the threads.

2Gb is probably not enough, WinDoZe will eat up ~300 to 450Mb
if you only upgraded the card, popped in a new one and you are trying to working a data set that is four times larger, i'd suggest, the following

if you can tweak the clock on the video card until it almost becomes unstable.

check/google your card see if anyone has any problems with the drivers you have, sometimes an older driver is better.

completely removing/uninstalling display drivers

boot back in vga mode with command prompt

check the system32 for any leftover files

delete all files in system32\dllcache

reapply SP2

reload drivers

turn off all garbage services running, disable networking as well.

set a single display for something mediocre so the graphics card isn't breaking its balls to keep up with your screen and the processing

defrag your hard drive/raid

make your swap file about 4GB on a different drive than data file, make sure the swap file is continguous

apply these registry hacks
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\PriorityControl]
"Win32PrioritySeparation"=dword:00000026

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\FileSystem]
"NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation"=dword:00000001
"Win31FileSystem"=dword:00000000
"Win95TruncatedExtensions"=dword:00000001
"NtfsAllowExtendedCharacterIn8dot3Name"=dword:0000 0000
"NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate"=dword:00000001
"NtfsMftZoneReservation"=dword:00000003

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager\Memory Management]
"DisablePagingExecutive"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer]
"AlwaysUnloadDLL"=dword:00000001
"DesktopProcess"=dword:00000001
"NoResolveTrack"=dword:00000001

delete all garbage from your temp directories

defrag

reboot

check task manager, see how much physical ram is available, should be ~1.7 Gb if you're lucky

when you start the processing have the task manager up and running, set the affinity to three of the four processors and then crank up the priority

It would be sweet if you could enlarge the curves control to do more fine tuned stuff. I imagine someone might say that redcine is only for a "first light" what have you, and you can do more precise stuff in other programs later when you conform and whatnot.. But still, I don't see why this feature couldn't be added.

Windows XP SP2 on HP/Intel DOES NOT WORK.

I have an HP xw8000 with two 3.2GHz Xeon (i.e. 4 total cores) and 4GB of physical RAM, NVidia Quadro NVS 280 SD w 64MB feeding 3 displays.

REDCINE comes up with the player window on Monitor 1 and displays the big REDCINE logo and Beta V1.0 banner. None of the buttons do anything - not even "Exit REDCINE" If I click in the preview area, sometimes a "No Media" thumbnail will pop up on the right side of the screen and sometimes an additional toolbar will appear across the top.

The program allocates about 1.5 GB of memory when it launches but uses little CPU time after the initial load. I've updated to the latest NVidia driver to no avail.

No matter what I select, all I get from Quicktime renders is the first frame. Here's the log, any help would be good as I am in shock this is not working!
