Not sure you still have this problem, but I just had it, and finally found the answer on a different website:

Since the timecode effect is using Arial font, this font needs to be installed and active on your Mac. By default, this font is installed on Mac systems. I wonder if this font is accidentally disabled or removed. Could you launch an app called “Font Book” under your Mac application folder and see if Arial is indeed installed and active? There are a few kind of Arial font such as Arial Black, Arial Hebrew, Arial Narrow and so on. What you need is the regular “Arial”. Do you see it?

Shane –

Thank you for your response. Is there any way of making Media Manager use all 8 cores on my machine? That is the reason I went with Compressor.
Thank you again.

Walter –

Thank you for your response. I double checked and I have the sequence set with the DV-NTSC preset from the Easy Setup. Still nothing.

Since I am working on a MacBook Pro, do you think the DVI to Composite/S-Video would be sufficient to output my sequence, or a converter box is needed (MacBook Pro thru Firewire to the Converter Box then thru Composite/S-Video to the DVD Recorder).

I read somewhere that some DVD Recorders do not activate their DV In port unless they sense a camcorder at the other end. In other words, the DVD Recorder always wants to act as the Master and have the camcorder as the Slave. And since the laptop is also trying to act as the Master, maybe that creates a conflict.
