I actually agree with Shane. I had this issue awhile back when I was trying to capture footage and the audio was behind. I ended up having to recapture everything or expiring audio at a differently kHz.

I have run into this same thing. Yes, you do need Lion to run MC6. I have never used Lion as I have seen it bogg down systems and not allocate RAM correctly. It’s like the Vista of Apple. If you want MC6, you will need 10.7. Unless there is some way to make it work on Snow Leopard.

What codecs are you trying to get? If you’re in need of the ProRes codec and whatnot, yes, everyone is correct. You do need to purchase some version of FCP to get those codecs. If you’re in need of Avid codecs, you can download those for free from Avid’s website.

Look at the size of the streams for your Blu-Ray. You need to optimize the streams for DVD. Probably why your ISO is huge. I would suggest reexporting your video to M2V and A3C streams.

There is a couple of things that needed to be disclosed first. First off, what are the specs of your file? Is it 1920 x 1080? What is the frame rate: 23.98 or 29.97?
Once that information is given, it can help with giving the best answer. In the mean time, here is some advice based in the information you have given.
Based on your mentioning Apple ProRes LT, I would assume you have access to FCP. With that, you don’t need me create an Apple ProRes LT for a playable Blu-Ray; you need to create streams as either H.264s or AVCHD with a separate .ac3 audio track. There should be an option in the H.264 setting in Compressor in the Inspector window where you can change it from .mov to Blu-Ray. Then take an .ac3 setting from a standard DVD setting an use that for your audio.
As far as Toast, there is an option for you to burn a Blu-Ray, but I am not familiar with the latest version, so you may want to double check with what Toast will take. However, if you have access to Adobe Encore, that can easily author Blu-Rays discs.
I’m not sure what type on computer monitor you have, but it is important to know that EVERY TV and monitor will display an image differently. As every TV and monitor is not calibrated or set-up the same, an image may look different on one set when compared to another. I would check your coloring with a Vectorscope and Waveform monitor (which is available in FCP) instead of immediately throwing a filter on. The broadcast filter is mainly used to crush the blacks to make sure your video stays at or below 100 IRE.
Hope this helps!

QuickTime Player Pro or MPEG Streamclip might be able to handle that.

Have you tried rendering out your audio at 48khz as a separate audio track?
-
What file type are you working with? What are the specs? Also, checking the time length of the file in the finder window isn’t accurate. The best way to go would be to check in QuickTime Player X or QuickTime Player 7. It is more accurate.

Trent,
Not having the correct directory structure available, I believe, would not cause the issue. What file types are you editing in that is 23.98 fps? Have you just tried slowing down the speed from the import setting of 100.15% to 100% (which I’m sure you have)?
The time lengths you are specifying, you say, “So a file that’s 12min 21sec long will import as 12min 19sec 20 frames (out of 23.98).” Where are you getting the original “12:21” reading? What software?

Tapio,
If you are outputting to tape, since you are in a broadcast workflow, you may want to check the settings on your deck. I know a lot of times, our Sony DigiBeta or IMX decks will take the signal from the Kona card, but we can have the conversion be changed, causing it to switch to anamorphic, letterboxed, or center-cut. So, again, if you are going to tape, check your deck settings. If the Kona card is set correctly, as well as your settings in Premiere, then it would be the deck.
