If the audio setup isn’t working, soundcard driver failed or the hardware was switched to playback to the camera and not desktop the playback won’t work. Look at the audio issues.

Are you sure that:
1. The card is Surround Sound Capable.
2. The Speakers connected are a Surround Sound Set using all the surround sound connection in/out of the card.
3. You’ve run the audio driver wizard and told it to be a surround sound system.From looking at the posted image it looks like the system is only picking up stereo speakers, like that is the mode the audio driver is seeing them as.

Before you do anything, make a duplicate of the seq with all footage dropped in back to back. and name it BITC reference (tape name?)
find the ‘timecode’ effect in the effects panel search box, add it to the first clip in the timeline.
set up the effects properties in the effect controls panel.
change timecode source to: media
make sure the time display is set correctly too. (it should automatically correct itself if it was wrong, but check it anyway)
copy the clip with the effect on it. Select all the other clips and paste attributes.
Check out this tutorial:

hope it helps, with other uses of the BITC timecode effect.

AVCHD requires a gutsy computer system with a tonne of ram and RAID 0 style HDD content playback. If your computer meets the minimum specs or below there is no way to make it perform true realtime without a hardware upgrade.
There are a couple of things you can do to minimise the applications ram usage which might give you better results.– Twirl up the Video and Audio tracks so you don’t see the head/tail thumbnail for video clips and the waveform for audio in the timeline.
– Work in Draft mode.
– Generel Preferences are set to “performance”, close PPro/restart PPro.Jon 😉

Jason,
No that is not crazy – actually quite a common process. The problem with it working immediately and not as a one by one file relink case is that the file extension is different, so you may get a warning each time you force a relink.
But that is the way to do it and keep the edits you’ve made.
Just so long as the frame rate is the same as the edited versions and the absolute first and last frames of all the clips are exactly the same = same duration, then it will all come together nicely.

You can export an EDL. FCP and PPro EDLs are not the same. CMX edl is the standard and that is what PPro uses. If the Project and the footage itself was PAL (25FPS) then the EDL should reflect that. Are you sure the Editor was working in PAL (25fps) with PAL (25FPS) clips?
FCP should be able to import an EDL and ask what frame rate it is.
I’ve done this many times before.

What are the clip properties?
right click the clip in the project panel…

From the two clips you uploaded the mov converted one looks fine, at the quality of the flv file it looks like how it should.
If you are working with progressive frame rates you should keep working in those. frame rate is crucial – can’t stress that enough.
You can make a custom desktop mode editing preset where you can set the frame size, the frame rate, audio sample rates etc to match the properties of the captured footage. But always convert this type of footage to an editable frame accurate, each frame is a complete self contained frame that doesn’t rely on other frames to work out the compressed chroma/luma information (long GOP – MPEG).
Premiere Elements has the codecs for consumer formats like MPEG-2 and MOD from JVC Everio cameras, etc and works with them better. Only draw back to Elements is that it is only on the PC. But you can use it to convert your footage, it’s not that expensive either.
(the link you provided in last post doesn’t link to it, the first post does though)

FCP won’t work with MXF files natively anyway they need to be converted to a QT mov wrapper first, so you’re out of luck using this type of media.
Premiere Pro has some powerful color correction tools (Fast Color Corrector, 3-way color corrector, broadcast safe)…
If you can get your hands on After Effects, you can do your color corrections by importing the Premiere Pro project and using Color Finesse plug in which is similar to the color controls.
