MPEG Streamclip files make my Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 system crash

[Joe Murray]

We use MPEG Streamclip a lot and do use the files in FCP timelines without any issues, but our codec of choice is PhotoJPEG at either 75 or 100% quality, depending on the project and source footage. PhotoJPEG is a much better looking codec than DV and is what is used for most downloadable high quality stock footage, eg. Getty Images etc.
