Thanks Graham - it’s been years since i have done it!
Is this set up fast enough for import as well? Cause I am thinking of buying airport extreme to import the footage directly onto USB storage connected to it. And also does it work with Leopard?
One more thing would similar method work with Final Cut ?
P.s. thanks for the info I was surfing the net for 2hours to decide whether I should buy airport extreme or other APs.
Yes, yes, no idea, I’ve never used final cut with anything slower than an xsan hooked up with fibre. I’d assume so.
