Try export same as source from avid instead of QT references. I use Meredien 3:1 or 2:1 all the time in AE without any problem. (Except Avid DV is horrible for chroma keying.)

I supervised the installation of the Adrenaline, so since then I fairly certain that it has never had any other DV device hooked up to it. I think we did with HVX-200 we demo’ed but I cant remember. I had spoke with avid about this and they did tell me to be sure audio id locked. the 800 series settings are:

804 Blank Line Blank
880 Dif Speed S100
881 Dif Type Auto
882 Dif In CH Auto
883 Dif Out Ch Auto
886 Dif Config Auto
889 Dif Au In Ch 1&2
890 Dif Aud Out Ch 1&2
891 Dif DV Aud Lock48

I can try the FF & RW but it usually gets a fair work out each day. Searching for footage and through master tapes to find old commercials. I should point out, that whenever I activate the digital cut tool or the capture tool, I can hear the Adrenealine clicking from SD mode into DV mode and there is a slight hang up for a couple seconds. I suppose I can stay in DV mode on the Adrenaline?

Ah! We are running it as DVC-Pro. I am not sure why they bought a 50 deck and I know what you are thinking, “why buy a Mojo?” Good question. I hypothesize that the engineers and the news director really did not too much research into the system. But I its a Mojo with Firewire, no SDI. Also, the deck has no input for a reference signal. It is barebones. Just firewire port and a composite out. I am feeding the Firewire into the Adrenaline BOB. My current theory is to bypass the bob and just feed the firewire into a 1394 card.

Less than one year. It was doing this on Newscutter, too. we just could not see it since there was no monitor hooked up to the composite out. We have one for it on the Adrenaline.

No, i know they were not references. It is weird. One day they are fine, then a couple months later, quicktime says it is a file that it cant understand.
