Im not sure how to find repair permission on my systems drive. Its worth trying though.

Recently I made the move to an intel Mac pro. So yes it’s a new start up drive
Since then Compressor stopped working with my FCP . After reviewing many forum notes, I decided to give DR a try. The DR’s compressor fix it did not work. So I tried s step two using DR’s FCP delete download and reinstall. Yikes!

Thanks

I now have the camcorder and my Sony HVR-MRC1 Recording units set correctly and my files are now being recorded in HDV and an .M2T format.

Wouldn’t you know it FCP 6.6 does not recognize these files. I’m I missing something here. Do I need to covert these to files into a format FCP recognizes? (that’s a small bummer) Do I need a third party software to communicate with FCP?
I read that I might need to install a Sony recording unit plug in.
I have the Sony recording unit plug-in 1.1 disk icon on my desktop. I don’t know what the next step is to make use of it, if it is needed.

Do have any insight on this? I believe I’m heading in the right direction.
Thanks

Ok… I took yours and many others advice. Learn and use compressor and start making DVDS with DDVSP.

So here is where I’m. I finally got my FCP white water rafting movie formatted and filed correctly with chapter markers using compressor.

I imported the asset files into DVDSP. I successfully burned a DVD.
The DVD movie looks and plays great! That was small victory for me.

Now I want to apply the chapters that are already in track one and probably use one of the basic templates to make a functional DVD for the viewers to enjoy.

I cannot find a written or video tutorial that will walk me through the steps so I can finish making my DVD with functional chapters and (Menus?)

So…. do you have any links to any excellent tutorial on the basics, making a chaptered DVD with DVDSP?

I have looked at quite a few that have not helped so far. The project is just one 30-minute video with the chapters already assigned in the VI track. It should be simple right?

Thanks
Gary
