I`ve found compressor to be unreliable when using the export via compressor setting in FCP. Try to export as a self contained movie, start the application compressor and import the self contained movie into it. Usually works like a charm! For windows I would recommend that you use flip4mac to compress.

Thanks for all of your tips Matte. I just discovered that all I had to do was to switch of the “use logged clip settings” tab in the batch capture window.
Doh.

Thanks for the reply, but this is exactly what is weird. When I go to item properties I cant change anything but anamorphic and alpha level. And when I right click in the tracks column of the browse (and the clip is offline and highlighted)I get the message “no shortcuts”. Hmmm.. Ive been through all the menus and settings and stuff and I cant find any relevant settings. My settings are correct in the clip settings part of log and capture but fcp seems to only follow the original digitized settings. I also tried exporting the clip to another project but the result was the same..

Thanks for the additional tips guys. I had one TB of free space so that wasnt it. I think Graeme is right,the direct export via Compressor cant be reliable.. (We`ve got most of your filters graeme and I`m pushing for the purchase of the Standards package now.) I am also going for the full reinstall when were finished on our current project. That mac is not healthy, exporting as a self contained file took me seven minutes on another G5. Thanks very much for the input to all of you.

moved the entire project into another G5. Where it mysteriously worked. Peculiar.

Thanks. Only problem is that exporting it as a self contained movie takes about three hours, which I don`t have unfortunately.. I have made copies of the sequence, made new projects etc but nothing seems to help. Hmmmm.
