I wanted to update this issue. I was able to successfully overcome the glitch last night. Using Media Encoder, I exported the Pr sequence to an uncompressed AVI then compressed that file to MPEG2 using Media Encoder again. Efficent? Not in the least. However now I’m back on track. I guess the lesson for anyone who stumbles upon this post is if your video exports out glitchy, kick out an intermediate file (AVI, Animation QT, etc) then compress that file to your final format.

Angelo,
Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll keep that in mind. I’ve exported the sequences in 3 parts – the before, the after, and middle trouble section and will lay them into Encore that way. If that fails, I’ll use your suggestion. Thanks again. -
You could use a (free) program called Super Duper to copy/back-up the files for you. This is the only way we back-up our P2 files now. We had a number of corruptions caused (we thing) from the drag-n-drop method.

You’re on a Mac so you have a couple of options. It’s going to be easier for you if your DVD is a auto-play disc than an interactive one as most of the affordable Blu-Ray authoring tools are suspect.
If you just need an auto-play Blu-Ray see Toast 9. It will author those. Compress using the software of your choice (Sorenson’s okay, Apple’s Compressor comes with presets).
Adobe’s Encore is another option. However if you need to author an interactive menu please see Walter Biscardi’s tale of horror.
Good luck

I recommend using G-RAID firewire drives. Just duplicate your sequence into a new bin, right-click and select consolidate, select the FW drive, and when it’s done save a copy of your bin to that FW drive too.
AVID’s media tool is rock solid and I recommend it over any other 3rd party tool our there.
