By the way, please do tell me if installing another 8 GB of RAm fixes this. You mention you are trying that in your post.
Please do post here with our results as I am thinking of doing that – or possibly just going into the retail footwear business.

Thank goodness someone out there has the same problem.
I have a brand new spiffy top-of the-line Octo with 4x GB RAM and can usually only render long timelines in small chunks without crashing. It’s infuriating.
I too have done clean installs of System and FCS2 many times.
I will try the RAM reduction to 2 GB RAM.
But I am already somewhat disappointed that my 8 core doesn’t render as fast as I had hoped.
Is it possible that all this will clear up with Leopard?
I am so relieved that it’s not just me and my incompetence.
Please keep us all up to date on this problem and any fixes.
Best
Harry.

Check with Canon that you have the latest firmware. If not, they will send it to you in the mail.

If I reboot my Mac I find that I have to do extensive re-rendering. Not all files. There doesn’t appear to be a pattern.
Hope the mighty boffins at Apple are on top of this one.
Although I’m VERY surprised that I don’t see any complaints like this string on LAFCPUG – and nobody there responded to a whining complaint I posted a couple of days ago.
Maybe my upgrade to Octo will solve all problems.

I too have the render problem. G5Dual. FCP6.1. But migrating to an Octo this coming week, so we’ll see if that makes it better (or worse!)
In addition, when I hit Command R to render all and “CONFORM HDV VIDEO” appears, it renders ok, but then, when finished, if I hit Command R immediately again, it wants to render it all again. It never seems satisfied.
What’s with that?

I have the same Smoothcam issue. Renders disappear overnight.

Is this a version 6.0 problem or just v6.01?
Thanks

Take a look at this:
https://www.chv-plugins.com/cms/Fx-Script/Repair-collection/Repair-collection.php?navanchor=1010023
It’s the “Repair collection” of plug ins from CHV.
Presumably the dirt on the lens doesn’t move around, so perhaps fixable with one of these.
Be warned – long render times.

Thank you very much for your detailed and informative response.

Thanks for your reply.
Yes, pretty much.
I’m aiming to create 5.1 and M&E tracks within Fincal Cut Pro which I can then feed into a cutting room monitoring system.
I’m in some trepidation about what such equipment might cost, because I understand that it’s complicated to extract the sound from the SDI output.
Any advise greatly appreciated,
Best
