Windows 8 Boot Camp support. Cuda Updated http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/3877/-mountain-lion-updated-to-10.8.3.-windows-8-boot-camp-support.-cuda-updated Thu, 12 Jul 2012 12:33:50 +0000 driftwood 3877@/talks/discussions Having just looked at the Gold Master release of OSX Mountain Lion there appears to be a little problem opening our mts files straight from the card for viewing. It seems the Private folder is registered to open with Quicktime X, and, although you get to see your thumbnails of your card's clips, when you double-click to open each of the mts streams you are met with a 'Document Could Not Be Opened... unknown error' on the "BDMV" folder.

You then have to Right-Click 'Show Package Contents' to Get inside each subfolder, down to the Stream folder before you can open your .mts files for playback. This also happens whether registered mts files are with movist or not.

Let's hope they sort out native support of the AVC/mts/mpeg-4/h264 standard before the release version!

Update: With 10.8.3 The same problem persists with opening SD cards' MTS files. You'll have to go through the usual Open Package Contents or rename the Private Folder to get inside the folder tree.

]]> FCPx on Mountain Lion rocks - lot faster at transcoding too ! http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/4057/fcpx-on-mountain-lion-rocks-lot-faster-at-transcoding-too- Thu, 26 Jul 2012 22:53:26 +0000 AfricaGH2 4057@/talks/discussions I've posed this a few places but here are my observations of ML & FCPx:

Ok so I'm not running a 100 core cluster just a dual core 2012 i7 mac mini with a AMD Radeon HD 6630M / 256 MB but wow, FCPx is a lot faster on the transcoding side. I swear I benchmarked 3x for 1080p60 transcoding now it's more like 1x (one min of footage take one min to transcode to prores proxy and regular prores)!!!

Also OSX finally plays AVCHD natively even my nice 1080p60 footage at 28mbps does not stutter and it uses way way less CPU cycles.

Looks like they are finally using Open GL. (On my shite box Windows 7 laptops I've been able to play native avchd with low cpu usage for the past year so well done apple for catching up)

This is great new for us cheapskates using minis instead of Mac Pros

Can someone confirm this speed increase just in case I've been drinking too much of the Job's Kool-Aid.
