I'll have to pack my SX6000 to ship it back to Promise. I got an RMA number from them. My relation with the SX6000 has been plaggued with problems so far: I just couldn't make it work in my new machine based on a Tyan TigerMPX S2466N-4M. It seems that there is a lot of compatibility problems between these two. I tried all the tricks I could think of, followed all the recommendation of a friend who has one. Therefore I conclude it doesn't function properly. Also it seems it doesn't play well with any SCSI card. I have an Adaptec 29160. My friend made it work with a 3210S. Can't afford this card now. And I do not need it too anyway...
I also had a lot of problems trying to output to tape the video of my wedding for the familly. I spent the whole evening on Monday trying to do it. I tried everything I could but we were not able to output to a VHS tape through the BlueBox of the DV500Plus: render the movie in Pinnacle AVI, DV Playback, defrag the hard disk, play with all the settings possible on Premiere and the VCR. Nothing worked. I then tried to output to my DV camera hoping to be able to transfer it to a VHS tape later, but that didn't work either. I can generate a file in almost any format I want but can't output to tape from Premiere. I'll try again Wednesday night, maybe I'll be luckier. Meanwhile I'll let the problem jog in my mind.
