[Sid Coleman] “I hope some bright young person can help me.”

No offense but not many young people are going have much experience on a machine that old and especially with an OS and version of FCP that old.

[Sid Coleman] “A pop-up box appears and says “Codec not found”. Type 2 error “

If some codecs are missing try and reinstall your FCP.

Thanks Zane, but a re-install is not an option, not only because of time, but because all runs fine with other files/projects, that aren’t loaded with jpgs, nor lots of rendering like this one.

jpegs and having lots of rendering have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with codecs like the error message says. Besides a reinstall of the application douse not take that much time to do.

You should still try a reinstall.

FCP-3 Using a G-4, at 733 Mhz, with 768 mb SDRAM, on MAC OS 9.2, FCP3.0.4,
QT 6.0.3, Carbon Lib 1.6
The reason I was interested in keeping my FCP-3 on OS-9 running, is because
in it somewhere is the proper firewire protocol for my Panasonic DMR ES15 DVD recorder. I was able to get great (fairly uncompressed) video directly onto a DVD in real time. The only rendering was for the graphics, composites and tweeked clips (within the FCP timeline). Because of too many renders in my last project, FCP3 in OS-9… crashed with Errors Type 2 and 3. The project would not open again.
So, I took Zane’s advice from Creative Cow and loaded FCP-3 into my OSX.2.8 and now FCP-3 won’t work in OS-9 anymore, because it needs OSX-1.1 which now has been changed to OS 10.2.8. OS 10-1.1 is gone.
The project was retrieved in OS 10, but no output with firewire to anything but the camera (Sony PD-150). That works, but is hard on the Camera.
That magic firewire protocal extension is not there anymore either. I am guessing the thing to do is to find the Panasonic protocol for firewire that works with the DMR ES15 DVD recorder and OSX 2.8.
Does anyone know where/how I can find one? Am I on the right track?
I really don’t like the noisy artifacts that appear in the video with burning. All the above is the same when using FCP-4 on OSX-3.1) on my other computer too.
I need firewire protocol that talks to the DMR ES15 from OS 10.2.8.
I should post this as a new problem.

Thanks,

Sid

I NEVER recommended reinstalling FCP in OS X I recommended reinstalling it in OS 9. You NEVER even mention you had a version of OS X running on the machine.

I am sorry for you but your setup is so OLD that I really don’t think that you will be able to find much help on the issues you are having. I used OS 9 just a hand full of times and hated it, it want until OS X came out that I fell in love with the mac.
