Thanks, I should see if I can get some help over there. I cobbled together one in Motion that’s close but still needs some refinements to get it to where I want it.

Just an update on this to mark it SOLVED.

My friend was able to finally able to get a file to pass the system check that he compressed with Apple Compressor. According to him, you need to set the timecode, then you have an option to check the box for “drop frame.”

Craig, thanks for your help with this.

We’re just trying to get a file that will pass the system check with these specs:
MXF (OP-1a)
# Audio Channels >= 8 Resolution 1280x720 Drop Frame Yes Bit Rate >= 50 Mbps
Frame Rate 59.940 fps

I don’t think interlacing is the issue. We are just trying to get a file that will pass the auto QC test by the Fox system computer. The video we encoded using Switch passed every item in the specs EXCEPT drop frame. Which seems odd to me since I thought just being 59.94 fps qualified as drop frame, but I’m not an engineer.

Here are the specs that Fox wants.

It appears Apple Compressor cannot encode at 59.94 only 29.97.

We tried Telestream’s Switch, could not do drop frame.

Any other ideas?

Hmm… that’s worth a shot.

I assume you can use Compressor as a stand alone program?

How robust is the new closed caption feature? He just bought MacCaption to do that.

Thanks.

I’ve always used discmakers.com, but they may be overkill for just a couple. I can say, they have never let me down.

After this exercise of writing down my thoughts on this project, I believe the easiest solution is to go to a recordable Dual Layer DVD, which will double my capacity. Maybe put it on Professional Quality setting. I’m currently using version 7, anyone know if going up to a higher version of iDVD will improve the encoding?
