We have found that the ATI card works best for a Mac... and an 8 Core is the obvious choice for the fastest and most reliable use of REDCINE. The NVidia cards will work, but the ATI's work better.

This is a bit disappointing for Macbook Pro users, at least in the current versions. I was hoping to get pretty good performance using the MB Pro on set. Obviously I don't expect them to be as fast as Mac Pro counterparts, but the NVidia bug is kind of annoying. Hopefully there's a chance they can get it worked out.

Jim, using a macbook with Intel GMA X3100 graphics processor just for backup with an external harddisk and checking the shots with an 30" monitor would it work redcinema?

Sorry Jim for bothering you, I have just learned that the MB has just One FireWire 400 port (8 watts) so, it won't work.

yay for us that have 8-core Macs with ATI cards. i'm glad i invested in all of this equipment, it will be worth it in a few months ;).

REDCINE will work with all Intel Macs. It just works MUCH better with ATI video cards.

Yeah, no doubt it works on MB Pro, just wish the NVidia card was up to the task much better than it is. But so far, the app is looking really good Jim and I am very grateful that you released it to us before our cameras shipped. It's nice being able to play around with it.

if your having issues with output you can try NOT renaming the #6.E file output name.. worked for me.

preview on a macbook seems to work fine, the graphic card issue just seems to pop up on export.Originally Posted by pesan

For what it's worth there are other issues happening with the Macbook Pros that use the NVIDIA 8600M card. While playing video you'll often notice a tearing in the video. Apparantly Apple is aware of this and they are working on it. Not sure if this relates at all to issues with Redcine, but wanted to mention it because there are strange issues going on.
