Pixels missing in playout right before a kernel panic
Yesterday I thought it might be my iTunes files. I’ve deleted them and still get kernel panics in the middle of a sequence playout to tape. Only now I see pixels missing in my video. What gives? Can the WAV files I recorded be the culprits? I also get a question mark over a folder when I boot up (even with no hardware connected) but don’t remember moving or renaming any system folders.

The folder with the flashing question mark means the machine can’t find a boot drive. Sounds like you may have a hard drive failure. I hope you have your critical files backed up. I’d try booting off your OS X install disk and try running Disk Utility and repairing the drive or some other tool like Disk Warrior on it. You may or may not be able to salvage it. If you are able to get the drive back up be sure to copy all your important stuff off of it. Good Luck!!!

I have and I will. Did I mention my mini-DV deck died right before I finished capturing all my footage so I finished with my camera? Apple Tech Support agrees that some of that media may be corrupt. Now that I have output my timeline in three segments (one crash at a time) for assembly on Beta I will now do as you suggested.
