dex Otaku Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 MD and HiMD are not supported on Mac. You could try using Virtual PC but the one reported attempt we've had here was that it was unbearably slow. MD itself does not support digital upload - with the exception of home decks, which have optical outputs. Also: MD and HiMD as yet have no SMPTE support, meaning that synchronisation to your video tracks must be done by eyeballing things in your editor - not an uncommon situation for low-budget productions, but at the very least, be warned not to expect SMPTE support. As long as you don't mind doing analogue transfers [using standard audio cabling and a sound card with line-in] you can use any MD or HiMD with your Mac. HiMD supports linear PCM [i.e. uncompressed CD-quality] recording; MD's highest-quality mode is ATRAC SP [292kbps] which is of very good quality, though compressed nonetheless. Cheers.
