Unless you know what your destination sysytem is (Avid, etc) and have it’s codec installed (which you can do), your best bet is to set your QT codec to “None”. That’s the same as AVI’s uncompressed.
4:2:2 color sampling comes in when compression is used, so your output system should take care of that at that end. You may need to do a colorspace conversion first, though – check that with your output system user…

Awesome. Glad I could help!

Your external video settings aren’t in the project settings, they are in the Edit menu ( I think 😛 ). External Video > All Frames.
Perhaps try and use Print to Video? That is sometimes an alternative to Edit to Tape, you may have to cue the recorder manually, though…
Are you using a deck or a camera?

If you have 6.5 Pro bundle or above, you can use the Motion Tracker. Works very well, provided you have one or two constant areas that you can stabilise against. Check the manual for how it works exactly.

That doesn’t sound good – should try and resolve that. It’s an easy (and sometimes quicker, depending on length of cut) way to get the stuff across without recompressing…
Did you try using the Easy Setup? Are you using DV? External video settings?

https://www.nattress.com – Awesome, and well-priced.
https://www.genarts.com/sapphire-ae.html – Good but a bit exy.
Google for Final Cut Pro free plugins – there’s a few good ones floating around the web.

Are there any filters on your layer? Sometimes filters have visible guides which will render if you don’t switch the guides off from the effect settings…

Cool.
You could try and output chunks of AVIs – will WM Encoder let you join files together?
Maybe going to tape in-between the Mac and PC might be an option?

Bingo.
Well… sort of…
The AVI format has certain filesize limitations – namely 2gb and 4gb. Under a FAT32 filesystem (up to windows 98) you can have a maximum of 2gb per AVI file. An NTFS filesystem will allow larger files of up to 4gb.
AVI 2.0 will allow what appear to be larger AVI files, but it does this by joining together many chunks of video data, each with a limit of… you guessed it: 4Gb.
I’m fairly sure that this is the problem you are encountering.
If you need to go to a PC for encoding to wmv, try and export a quicktime file (QT is easily installed on a PC system, and read by most video encoding apps, as long as QT is installed on your system…). You can then use the QT to get around filesize issues, and to encode to wmv.
Love to hear how you get on.

Check your timeline at the point where the export stops. Anything unusual there? Perhaps a stray out-point that has gone unnoticed…?
