COMPRESSOR PROBLEMS
I’m exporting several movies directly from FCP 6 NTSC uncompressed timeline (that has been digitized into the system through a Kona Card from a Digibeta tape) to compressor and getting this strange stuttering every once in a while in the picture. I’m seeing the problem while playing the file in DVD Studio Pro and on the final authored DVD as well. It does it randomly a few times through out each movie. Any clue?
Any way to get our old and beautifull MPEG-2 export option directly from FCP6? -

Something I didn’t mention on the prior post is that the setting i’m using in compressor is the on for best quality on 90 mins.

We have upgraded to FCS 2 and find that the new Compressor
has left much to be desired.For one, the workflow is completely different and I’m not a fan.
My machine won’t even launch the program and we’ve had other Macs
fail to process our compressions.The only advice I could give on your problem is to tweak the settings
for the media you are compressing. I heard through this forum that if you change the GOP settings to 7 instead of 15 you will output more I frames and therefore have better quality. We have also had good luck with raising the Mbps which is something you may have to experiment with in order to make a DVD that will work properly.Maybe some other posters can enlighten both of us on any specifics to try.
Hope that helps

I would suggest that you export your timeline to a stand alone Quicktime file and use that for your compression in Compressor.
The only real issues I have seen is the compression times have increased alot since the last update.

I’ve encountered a different problem that maybe someone can advise me about. When exporting through compressor we’ve been getting a warning about halfway through the conversion. It says that the filename already exists in the destination and we have to rename the output file.
The thing is I set it to a brand new folder with no other files so I’m not sure how it could be thinking another file already exists. The setting being used is best quality 90 minute. We just upgraded to FCPS2.
Thanks,
