Yes, I output the bounced versions in project 1, and everything you say above is exactly the case.

I would like to follow through with this problem, but I am soooo overloaded right now to go back and finish that specific debugging.

In the end the client asked for a QT export in order for the duplication house to do multiple formats, so I never got to go back on it.

Therefore problem not solved and I will not be going back to that specific project for at least a few months.

So if anyone has anything on General Error 88 in the future, dont be affraid to let it be known. I will publish my findings if I come across something.

The format is identical.

Both where shot with the DVX-200 in P2.

Yes, I did that too unfortunately with the same result.

I even duplicated Ep.1 copied and pasted Ep.2 in the Ep.1 sequence of the Ep.1 project and no positive result with that either.

This is why I am astounded. What surprises me the most is that there is no references on “general errors” anywhere, appart from some rare threads here.

Normally, when I have a weird bug, I check the cow and half a dozen people have had that too and found a solution allready.

I am on a different job today, so I will try to figure it out further next week.

I’ve done extensive debugging attempts and still have not solved the problem.

I did the whole shut down, reset, restart, classic stuff etc…

I’m suspecting some sort of corruption somewhere. Here is where I’m at.

Open the sequence of Ep. 1. Everything works fine. Open Ep.2 and Ep.3, both give me the error 88. Try Ep.1 again without changing parameters. Ep.1 outputs fine.

Make new sequence. Put bars and random media clips in it,outputs fine. Try Ep.2 & Ep.3 again, Error 88.

Copy and paste the content of Ep.2 sequence in working new sequence, error 88.

1000 Variations on that concept concludes that new sequences and Ep.1 work fine. Any content from Ep.2 & 3 in a working timeline generates an error 88.

I even sliced down a problematic timeline to attempt to isolate the corrupted item and timeline would only output when only color bars remained.

No real progress.

As a bypass solution I exported Ep.2 & 3 as quicktime and used the Quicktimes for output in a new sequence.

I got my shows to tape, but I have not solved the real problem.

If anybody from Apple is on here, could you contribute in pointing us in the right direction?

Thanks.
