Check out Toast 9 and the HD-BD plug in. See my Posts….
It works for AVCHD files direct to the Blu-ray, It might work with your files, but the re-encoding does take a quality hit -
I am not getting the same error. It sounds like you are getting a directory error finding your file. Toast 9 crashes when it tries to RE-encode the h264 files I make. I am looking to encode my HDV & dvcpro HD files to the same format that Canon or Sony use to create their AVCHD files. These files just pass thru toast without encoding. They can then be burned to a dvd or blu-ray disk to be played in a blu-ray desktop machine. I have tried Compressor, Quicktime pro, and episode pro without any luck. The HDV & dvcproHD files I recompressed with toast directly, definatly take a quality hit when played on my Blu-ray player!

it will only be an issue if it goes to tape or to ntsc at 60i or 30 fps.The stepping occurs when the 24 frames goes back to 30. This is done because all broadcast plays back at 30 fps.(29.97 really) The duplicated frames (reverse pulldown)stops the fluid motion when added back in. When the jib moves horizontally across the screen the stuttering look happens. If you can stay 24fps all the way thru mastering. it wont be an issue. This means you cant broadcast it because they dont play tapes at 24f. You can master to progressive dvd or use the 24f file played thru a projector or on digital monitor as with a 24f quicktime playing on a computer screen with no stuttering,
24F for video was really designed as a film look or used when you transfer your video to film for theatrical release. It doesnt work well for lots of motion.

Pro res only works well on an intel Mac I dont run 5.1 anymore but I thought Pro res was introduced with Ver 6.

Hey Joe,
24P is a tricky format. If you are digitizing it with anything but firewire, Final cut may be transcoding the footage to 60i and adding back the duplicate frames that would be removed if Final cut is set to 1080 24p thru firewire. If the final output is to be delivered on anything that wont be played back on a computer monitor, or anything played at 60i, the duplicate frames will be played back with stepping in any horizontal pans. If the footage stays at 24F and played on a digital monitor, the stepping will not be noticed. It is important for final cut to be set correctly. The easy setup is the best way to insure the footage is digitzed correctly. Not sure why you would be going to Pro res and not staying native dvc pro hd.
