AVC Intra in Compressor?
I have installed and tested an MXO2 Mini with MAX. I am happy with Avid monitoring and the H.264 encoding we have done, however, I need a little help with our AVC intra workflow. Primarily we will edit with Avid Media Composer 5 on 8-core Mac pros using AVC intra files recorded on P2 media from our Panasonic cameras. We would then like to encode the edited sequences using Apple’s Compressor and the MXO2 Mini with MAX. The problem is that Compressor crashes immediately(Message: Compressor quit unexpectedly while using AvidAVinCodec Plug-in) when attempting to bring these AVC intra files into the program. I realize this problem is probably with Compressor and is not with the MXO2 Mini with MAX and I am wondering if you can suggest a solution or alternative(Compressor is preferable as we already own the licenses). We have 6 more Avid suites that will eventually need hardware for monitoring so I have to figure out if the MXO2 Mini with MAX fits into our encoding workflow. I did try calling support, however, they were unable to provide any suggestions. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Is it every system? I wonder if it’s the machine. I don’t have a MX02 handy, but if you want to put up a short QuickTime file on my idisk, I’ll try it on my system (I have both Avid & FCS installed)

Thanks Jeff. I only have Avid and FCP on this one machine. I could get a short clip to you if you wouldn’t mind giving it a try. Thanks.

You can reach me at my name at mac.com – I’ll give you an idisk folder and look at it.
Best,
