Honestly, in my experience, there isn’t much you can do with it. Since you are removing frames, that may happen. Have you tried in Cinema Tools? They have a reverse telecine option that may be of better use to you.
If I could recommend, a hardware conversion through a Teranex would be the best way to go (but can be costly).

July 25, 2012 at 8:30 pm in reply to: General error when exporting using QuickTime conversion with H.264 video clips1908 x 1020 is an odd frame-size. Are you sure it’s not 1920 x 1080?
Have you tried changing your sequence compressor settings to Apple ProRes? H.264s don’t work well within FCP. Usually if you switch the codec in the sequence, it works much better.

Check your frame rate for your export. Make sure it matches your source. Such as, is your audio 44.1 khz and you are trying to make it 48.0 khz? Or vice-versa?

Make sure that if you send it through Compressor that you have the Video “Enabled” under the Encoder tab in the Inspector window. If you are exporting it directly from FCP7, make sure you check your Quicktime settings that Video is checked to output.

July 24, 2012 at 10:15 pm in reply to: Has anyone had experience of using FCP7, studio 1 or Studio 2 on the latest MacBook Pro?I have not, but I would check the specs Studios 1 and 2 to make sure that it can run on the computers. I would assume that it would because I would imagine it does not take much processing for the software since it is older.

Do you still have the original video file that you can try to relink it to?

July 24, 2012 at 7:11 pm in reply to: Exporting through Media Encoder vs After EffectsI would think the first thing would be the data rate for your 720 p file. It is low: 2 Mbps. I would increase that and see if that helps. Media Encoder will take awhile because you’re downconverting.
Why don’t you just go through After Effects to make your 720p H.264 instead of Media Encoder if you had better results that way with you 1080p/i file?

Episode does not support .mkv. I don’t believe Squeeze can either, but someone may want to double-check me on that. I think MPEG Streamclip is your best bet.
If MPEG Streamclip is taking awhile to export the file you need, try reducing your quality settings. The lower the data rates and quality settings, the faster it will go; however, it will reduce the quality of your video. Just keep that in mine.

July 24, 2012 at 10:55 am in reply to: Problem displaying text when importing subtitlesI had the same issue when accessing an Ethiopian font when trying to import Amharic subtitles. The only thing I can suggest is when you import, before you hit “ok”, go through all the fonts to see what will display it. I would assume you are using a Text Script rather than Image Script or a FAB Image script. The image scripts will have no problems reading the correct font; however, Encore’s text script import is limited. So just go through every font until you find something that works.

July 23, 2012 at 1:39 am in reply to: FCP 7 – ProRez 422, Audio Fine, Video Too Long & Cutting OffHold on. How did you really capture it? Did you capture the footage as a ProRes or something else and then convert it?
If your source material is actually 30fps, or even 29.97fps, just try switching your sequence fields to “None”.
