(message from the owner)
In February 2014 an opportunity knocked that was too good to say no to: joining a fantastic team of IT commandos at Disney-ABC that supports editing, transcoding and delivering content to Disney partners. I took it. Thus, DV411 remains open to support existing clients as time allows, and for occasional new projects - if time allows - by appointment only. We're no longer answering phone calls - although we're returning them as time allows and are answering emails. As we reflect on DV411's 15+ years in service, we are very thankful to talented and passionate people who were part of our team. Thank you Sarah Mason, Cutter Stevens, Shane McAllen, Pavel Shershoukov, Sarahgrace Kelly, Richard Lin, Sondra Selhorn, Molly Joy, Larry Cook and many others who made DV411 part of their life and contributed to its success. It was quite an incredible ride.
Thank you, and onward.

Resources and news with respect to Apple discontinuing Final Cut Studio and Final Cut Pro 7 in favor of Final Cut Pro X. - Treating Editors With Respect - by Matthew Glasser of InteReality Media LLC, on CreativeCow.net, Jun 30, 2011 at 2:03:29 pm
Matthew highlights the important of vendor support and transparency: "Will CS5.5 work for my company? I don't know yet. But I appreciate a company who is willing to answer questions and work with me and not against me." - FCPX - Final Cut Pro Flux - Dennis Kutchera's on CreativeCow.net, June 23, 2011:
"What Apple has achieved with the release of Final Cut Pro X is the alienation of many post production professionals."
See also: comment to that article by Jean-François Robichaud (Jun 24, 2011):
"The things professionals need to be really worried about are:
-lack of proper import export formats: XML, EDL, OMF, legacy projects,
-lack of proper monitoring solutions
-no support for legacy plugins
-no multicam
-no proper tape support
-no support for PSD layers" - Apple's FAQ: "Answers to your Final Cut Pro X questions" (no date but it appears to have been posted on June 29 or 30, 2011).
See also: More Questions Raised by the Final Cut Pro X FAQ - Richard Harrington's Blog, June 30, 2011:
"Customers don’t want to be told what they want" - Richard Harrington's Blog has great discussions and tips for FCP7 and FCPX users, as well as for those planning a switch to Adobe or Avid applications.
- "A music (professional) perspective" on FCPX release - a reader comment to "What does Final Cut Pro X teach enterprise vendors?" by Dennis Howlett, ZDNet, June 27, 2011.
"To remove Final Cut Pro 7 and only offer this new thing that doesnt do what the pro's want is just plain ridiculous and pretentious on Apple's part." - Of course: "David Pogue’s initial enthusiastic review" of FCPX and his follow up piece.

The Rovi Professional Products Team would like to alert all Scenarist BD
users to the following industry development:
Issue: AACS
Bus Encryption-enabled players will be available soon.
Details:
Version 0.95 of the AACS specification added a new copy protection mechanism
called Bus Encryption. Bus Encryption enhances the protection offered to data
moving between the drive reading the Blu-ray Disc and the player requesting the
data. This is not relevant to traditional set-top players, it only affects
software players and the Sony PlayStation 3. Currently there are no
commercially available players that support Bus Encryption. They are due to
become available later this year, however, this will not be publicly announced
and it will not be possible to tell whether a player supports Bus Encryption or
not.
Recommendation: There
are no known issues with Bus Encryption-enabled titles created using Scenarist
BD. However, in order for the protection to work correctly, it is important
that your replication facility is able to support Bus Encryption. Until further
notice, we would recommend either disabling Bus Encryption (in Scenarist's CPS
Editor) or ensuring that check discs are tested in a Bus Encryption-enabled
player at the replication facility. If you are interested in testing Bus
Encryption-enabled titles in-house please contact your regional Rovi
Professional Products representative to discuss sourcing a suitable player.
More Information: Please
log an incident in SonicOnline,
or call your regional Rovi Professional Products representative, if you have
any concerns or questions.
Best regards,
Rovi Professional Products Team.
