Yes got is solved.

The main problem was the setting for the external ref. I set it to HD when it should be SD. This is even when doing a HD job because the extrenal ref is in SD.

Here is what was done in detail.

Just in case someone needs to know this information. Please note that I am not a
programmer. I am just hacking away.

Most of the credit for the hack goes to the person in the forum mentioned above
for finding the Mac NFS behavior.

The changes done seem to work well. I am dissapointed that Apple make changes to
NFS to a point that we have to use an Apple NFS. I thought that NFS is open.
Anyway this problem only happens from with in the video editing application,
Final Cut Pro, an Apple product. I hope someday a good video editing application
comes to Linux. I am willing to pay for Linux video editing application. It must
be good that is.

Anyway here is the patch done.

Thanks for the info.

Do you know how to set the FSINFO on a linux?

Is it done in the source code? I can recompile.

Thank you for replying.

Tried trashing the preferences but still the same problem.

This only happens with FCP 6. FCP 4.5 it is ok.
