  • it says FCP must be serialized in order to do MPEG2?

    Posted by John Graves on August 31, 2006 at 5:05 pm

    I just installed FCP3 OSX. I try to do an export of MPEG 2 and it says “DVD STudio Pro must be serialized in order to run Quicktime MPEG encoder”.

    Just what it says. FCP3 did not come with an MPEG-2 encoder. If you’re trying to make MPEG-2 for use with DVD Studio Pro you have to either have DVDSP, and run it to initialize the application, or a third party MPEG-2 encoder like BitVice or Compression Master.

    All the best,

    Thanks, Tom, yeah I installed DVDSP and authorized it. I’m good now.
