Great compilation of posts. I tried several of them! After fighting through this issue for about a week myself, I will tell you the solution to the problem I had.
In between the fade-out of my project and the beginning of the credit roll, I wanted some black. In Final Cut Pro 7 I would have inserted slug. Here I used a generator to create an all-black clip. That generator was causing the issue. (I discovered this by removing all the elements in my credit roll individually until I found the one making Compressor fail.) When I replaced it with FCP X’s version of slug, the Gap Clip, then compressor output started to work again. Go figure.

So, actually, things aren’t quite fixed. Windows XP sees the camera (and the Adobe live encoder works) when the camera is in SD mode. Unfortunately, XP and the encoder do not see the camera when the camera is set to HD, exporting DVcam (or HDV) through firewire. I don’t want to lose the HD master recording in the camera to do the live encode. Any thoughts? Thanks!

The upgrade to SP3 fixed the issue. Thanks so much!

This appears to have fixed the problem for me.

Darcy,
That’s not the issue. I have the exact same problem with the Decklink HD Extreme 2 I just got.
I’ve been running FCP (now 6.0.3) on my Mac Pro 8-Core 2.8 GHz with the 8800 & 16 GBs of RAM for 2 months while awaiting NAB and a new video card to put in it. Now FCP does not launch, and going into the Graphics / Displays section of the System Profiler, it states that Quartz Extreme is not supported on the Graphics Card.
Not cool.
Absolutely everything on my system is the most current version.

Is there any possibility that Blackmagic will support the RED codec in the future?

For what’s it’s worth, I got the same error message upgrading my system from 5.0.4 and BMD 5.8. I had uninstalled the Blackmagic software before installing FCP Studio 2. I went to the install details and it listed everything as an upgrade, except ProRes422, which was unchecked. I left it that way.

If you buy the Apple 30″ LCD, get one of the “new” ones. Apple has started shipping a new rev with screen with improved specs.

Unfortunately, that didn’t fix the problem. Good idea though.

Ok, maybe I should be more clear.. this isn’t just about overnight sleep.
This is a personal studio machine, not in a facility. It gets used for tons of stuff aside from an editing suite.. office work, Photoshop, DVD burning, etc. When I’m not using them, I don’t even power on all the external drives. Previously I probably put the cpu to sleep 10 times a day. That’s my way of working. Now I can’t do it any more. I feel I should be able to work the way I choose to, not work around buggy drivers. Telling me to live with it doesn’t fix my issue.David
