Strange Quicktime Files
I’ve been getting multiple, strange files when I export a QT from FCP 2. Instead of one QT file I’m getting something that looks like this:
Part 1 trk 1-av.mov1
Part 1 trk 1-av.mov2
Part 1 trk 1-av.mov3
Part 1 trk 1-av.mov4
Part 1 trk 1.movEach of the file is 2G, except for #4 which is 1.08 GB. AND, none of them will play. I’m working on a multi screen project, and need to export QTs to mpeg-2 files for a museum player. This problem has shown up sporadically for the past few months, even before I installed FCP 2. I have a 2ghz Mac Book Pro with 2gb ram.
Thanks for any help.Willy Bearden

If your export is going to a drive formatted as FAT32 or is going to a share on a network there is a file-size limit that you are running up against. So Final Cut makes a reference movie which refers to a series of parts. You should be able to export the whole movie to a drive formatted as Mac OS-X Extended. If you are trying to get the movie to a network share, you can export to a Mac OS drive first and then use Finder to copy it to the network. There are a variety of ways to get there, but the format is the culprit.
