  Compressor error in export to mpeg2

  Posted by Martin Heidegger on January 26, 2011 at 4:54 pm

  Hallo zusammen!
  I would like to compressor from Final Cut something as mpeg2 export.
  Has also been worked out. Is for two weeks but my problem following:

  – The mpeg2 file is not more 4 GB in size, But only 146 mb.
  – He takes as the beginning of the normally 8. Clip.
  – Then you will get only black
  – At the same time, the total length of the file as it should be the 01:43:51
  – The export process takes about three hours as usual.

  Why he confused the Clips or shows only a single?

  I have already:
  – Domestic and outpunkte deleted, Reset,
  – Copy everything to a new project

  For four days has it unexpectedly works as normal again.
  Today no longer.
  I have one on friday Premiere and it would be really great, If someone could tell me please, What the compressor does because so confused.

  Is it normal, That at the beginning of the project exports automatically closes and opens a new??

  Please help!!

  Marco

  Wow, that is a confusing post.

  Trying to make a Mpeg2 file?

  Export from FCP “Current Settings” Make a ref file.
  Drop that into compressor. Choose DVD preset.
  Adjust data rate based on your program length.

  Hello chris,
  Thank's for your answer.
  Sorry for the confusing post. I think the translator is not that good.

  In english:

  Yes I want to make an mpeg2.
  Problem:
  Compressor is taking the 8. Clip of my movie as the first and the rest of the 01:43:Remane 2000 black.
  Although it takes 3 hours to compress the outcoming mpeg2 is only 143 mb and not 4 gb as it should be.
  Two weeks ago it all worked fine.

  I already tried to reset in and out points, but it does not change anything
  So the movie in a new coping FCP project is not changing anything.

  When I export it directly by QuickTime Converter, There is no problem, So I guess it's compressor, Which causes the confusion.

  I got a premiere in two days…

  Thanks in advance

  Marco

  Sorry, But what do you mean by "ref-file"?

  Not “self Contained” It just saves space.

  You see this when you export:
