Final Cut Pro 3 and Mpeg 2
I have recently upgraded to Tiger. Since then every time I try to export to Mpeg 2 final cut pro crashes. I have tried to get around it by exporting to FCP movie then exporting to Mpeg 2 in QT 7 but then QT 7 crashes. Any help would be appreciated. Am considering upgrading to FCP Studio, would that fix the problem?

This is about the first time I’ve read of FCP3 running in Tiger, so don’t know if indeed that is the problem. However an upgrade to FCP 5 would more than likely fix you up.
You bought the pro version of QT 7 then? so you could export MPEG-2?
Might save some money though if you don’t need to do the upgrade… If you didn’t install Tiger as a clean install ( you just clicked “upgrade” from the tiger disk) you’ll likely have problems with FCP. So if you were to try a clean install you might clear things up (as in erase and install AFTER you’ve backed up all files you need to keep, or better yet, buy another internal drive to add to your mac and install tiger and FCP on that new drive, leaving the old intact so you can move files at your liesure, or add them with the tiger install automatically).

Thanks for the info I have the 80gb disk that came with the computer and later added a 250. I just replaced the 80 with a 400gb and I did do a clean install of tiger. I’ve been wanting to get the studio upgrade anyway for all of the other goodies that come with it. I just didn’t want to buy it then have the same problem.

Well I can say that I’m not having any problems exporting MPEG-2 on Tiger and the Studio software…
