Actually I did output using Quicktime but did not go any further when I saw the size for my 20 minute DV was only 300meg. This resulted even though I chose the Quicktime option rather than the compress with Quicktime export option.

Okay, it was an interesting journey; here is the skinny:
The error was caused by a missing mpeg2 component in Quicktime. The timeline looked okay (no unrendered clips) but when compressor hit the mpeg element it failed causing the error. Also note worthy is that adding the missing mpeg2 component to Quicktime causes FCP (at least versions 4.x) to pause, as if it is not responding, before finally opening. I purchased a new mpeg2 component from Apple but it was still the old (Quicktime 6.4 vintage) version rather than one that has been updated for Quicktime 7.

I am exporting directly from FCP but never had a problem before, so I am reluctant to add a workaround. The only recent change was updating Quicktime and purchasing the pro option from Apple.

Okay I found it. It was the Quicktime mpeg2 component.

All true if you’re using a PowerMac. But if you’re using the PowerBook built in mic you need to move closer or connect a regular mic directly into the PowerBook (imic not required).

I have heard that considering a 770×492 CCD area on each of 3 chips the uncompressed 8-bit RGB is about 27MBytes/sec at 24fps. If this is true the difference be only 8 times native miniDV compression. Does this sound reasonable?

Well the card will cost $2500, as to the hard drive how much bigger is uncompressed video compared to… say miniDV. Is it simply 5 times, or are there other factors that make it even greater?

Haven’t heard that, actually I’ve heard reports that there is no penalty for different size pairs.

I think the confusion for many is applying an effect. Effects cannot be dropped like a bomb, they must be applied to adjoining clips. The process is more like applying virtual tape (or paint) to join (form a transition between) clips.

So it looks like this: ||||||||\\\][///|||||||||, and the effect would be laid over the slashes?
