Thanks for replying Leo; yes its still bad and I have checked my settings, reinstalled AE and the Media 100 transcoder.
In AE the layer file is bad but the source file is ok.
A couple of things; my computer was on all night(it usually gets nights off) and I shut down the G4 before Turning off File Sharing on the Media 100 machine. (I usually terminate the file sharing connection before shutting down)
Thanks again.
Cheers,
Joe
