  Sorenson Issues…help?

  Posted by Tim Scarpino on January 20, 2006 at 5:12 pm

  In the vain hope someone can be of assistance…

  I’m attempting to compress a 20 minute program for creation of a DVD. I’m using SS 4.2.

  Each time the compression gets near the end, it stops and gives me this message:

  “the movie file “” cannot be found. Without this file, the movie cannot play properly”.

  We’ve tried a number of things, all to no avail.

  Sound familiar to anyone?

  Thanks for your consideration,

  Tim

  I’m using Avid Media Composer v1.6. It is being brought in as a Quicktime Reference.

  I will say, as an update, that we changed target directory and drive, and have now been able to compress the spot for use as a DVD.

  Go figure.

  Thanks for your consideration,

  Tim

  Sorenson Squeeze is a great compressor however it doesn’t recognize QuickTime reference movies. You’ll need to export it as a .mov or.dv
