Thank you, Dave.
I followed your “recipe” before before going to bed. Status this morning (almost 7 hrs later) is 129 hrs remaning… (still chewing on the 1st pass, just looking at the video, no actual encoding!). I have no idea, what have changed since the last time I encoded (I have encoded hours and hours of m2vs on this machine over the years). Maybe i have a hardware issue?! (Or a software issue?)…
Fortunately this is my own DVD release, so I’m not in panic over the deadline, but more puzzled as to what this problem is caused by… Any other ideas or suggestions?
Thanks,
Christian.

Hello guys,
Thank you very much for your input. I appreciate that.
I’ve just watched the colorista2 highlights video – seems that this will solve the “problem” – at least making work progress (and probably end result!) better and more smooth!
All the best,
Christian. -
Hello Rafael,
Thank you very much for your post. Is this a method you’ve tried with succes? I’ve made a file with the resize parameter set to “best”, but couldn’t see any improvement in the end result.
Some posts state that converting the material to a SD timeline in FCP does the trick, but that doesn’t see to do it for me/my material either.
Any other suggestions?!
Christian.

Hi Matt,
Thank you very much for your time and very good input!
Basically I was working (I have now sent the master to a replication facility) with many different colours in (thick) lines (not straight) lines across the screen… I don’t know if that makes sense?
I eventually re-did the graphics in photoshop and made the frame by frame animation (it wasn’t more than 8 frames!) in FCP, and from that I got the best result.
I guess it would also be a good idea to field dub the video for the motion menu…?! When you press a button in the menu, it freeezes on a single field, which makes it look even more “chopped”/hard curves…
Thank you again,
Christian.

Hey guys – thanks for all the info + enthusiasm etc. I sense the need for a thorough explanation…
I posted the question on behalf of a friend, who isn’t an experienced fcp editor. She was in need of a fast answer so I guided her over the phone – As she (for some unknown reason) wasn’t (instantly) able to create a cow account… I posted the question instead.
Anyway. What happened was that she had moved some jpgs (some of which were the base of a slideshow in fcp) from her internal hd to a firewire disc. Or at least she thought she’d done that. One folder was missing. She was in a hurry, and in need of storage space (and very tired I guess. The actual reason why the actions to deletion was taken… and why there was no backup… is not really worth questioning her about at this point), so she deleted the files from the internal hd – and emptied the trash. When opening her fcp project of course there were missing files, that couldn’t be reconnected. Basically that’s the story.
I hope this clarifies the motive for the question.
From what I hear now, she was able to recover some of the jpgs, but not all of them. So the time, effort and inputs were worth the while. THANKS again.
Christian.

Hello again. I’ve tried datarescue.com – Seems to be flash/memory card recovery. Or did I “take a wrong turn”…? Any other
ideas for software download sites? THANKS. -
Cheers, John. I’ll stop working for now, and check out the datarescue site. Thanks!
