On your mac there is an application called Font book.

It has the option to Validate fonts. I suspect that you have multiple copies of the font. See if this repairs the problem.

Other ideas (after you’ve tried that) would be to trash the marquee settings…..
Try it in a new user (to see if it’s specific to your OSX user)
and gulp a full uninstall/reinstall of MC

Also, for the record, MC isn’t supported with 10.6.5, but I’m running it right (5.0.3.7) now and Marquee does work.

Check Font Book (application on your system) to make sure those fonts aren’t corrupted/duplicated.

Higher data rates = less compression. Make sure you’re viewing it at 100%.

Nope,

FCP doesn’t do multiple scratch folders on the same volume.

You may have had ‘capture audio/video’ on different drives turned on (hence the -v)

Last, you should only change the items with the checkmarks – the ones without them are mostly small files.

Are you able to view the file directly in QuickTime? (Not the Divx Player.)

Final Cut does not handle any USB capture.

It has to be firewire, a camera manufacturer whose written a ‘log and transfer’ plugin, or some form of tricking FCP into using the files.

If you can see them at the finder level you can use compressor to transcode them into a higher quality codec.

Are you sure it didn’t say OHCI ?

I haven’t tried it – but the latest version of Virtualdub does handle QuickTime https://www.videohelp.com/tools/Virtualdub
“Import plugins: Download Virtualdub plugin pack here, import MPEG2,WMV,FLV,MOV,MP4,AC3 directly in Virtualdub. Extract the folders to the Virtualdub folder. ”

The issue is that you’re dealing with compressed files that have a GOP pattern – you can trim them using QuickTime Pro – and even cut and paste in QuickTime Pro.

The other (conventional, painful) method is to work uncompressed, producing giant files, but not adding any extra compression to these files.

Video is fine – each of the different ProRes codecs dictate different data rates (depending on FPS)

Make sure you’re FPS is identical or same as source.

Audio should be LInear PCM, 48khz Stereo 16 bit.
