A generic blu-ray burner with a USB2 (not eSATA) external enclosure I have works with Toast. Mine’s an LG burner with an Addonics enclosure. I only needed to make play-only discs for screenings at theaters.

NATSOT channel 1 (BASICALLY we just need the sot and nats clean, and be
able to separate or mute vo and music)
VO TRACK channel 2
MUSIC channel 3This is what I got back from the producer just now, so I guess everything is monoaural. Even my sound editor who mostly does film and episodics didn’t know the term NATSOT until today…
Thanks for the help!!

I don’t know if this applies to you, but I was monitoring DVCPRO HD interlaced material on a 24-inch dell out of a Decklink HDlink. When I got a consumer CRT HDTV that displays true 1080i, some of the footage behaved quite differently. The $600 I spent on it saved my butt, as I was able to identify and fix a lot of footage that would have been unacceptable. Only then was my project ready to be output to tape and sent to the colorist.

Post houses only have FCP or Avid, so if you need to use an HDCAM deck for batch capture for example, it would be easiest if you could bring them a project file that they can open. I don’t think there are any post houses that use adobe.

That’s the only way I know how to do it (ctrl-click -> Reconnect Media). Then again, I’m not that experienced, either.
Are the media files valid and playable once imported into your project? import the clip into a dummy bin to test this.
My experience has been that even if I selected the wrong media file for manual reconnect, even when the filename, reel name, media length and timecode (maybe even the codec) do not match, FCP will still let you connect your clip to that media with a warning. If the clip on your sequence is too short, FCP will automatically trim it for you.
(not sure if it’ll make any difference, but if you can go back to the original project file on the previous computer, can you try the XML export?)
-
I’ve used media manager to gather those untitled files, which gets renamed to the clip names in the process.
-
I read somewhere else that projects saved as xml can be opened in any version. Maybe you could try that to bring your clips back to life.

41 is what I got when I tried to open a 5.1.2 project on 5.1.1.

Sorry, I just assumed that if you’re doing hidef at a theater, you might have created a 5.1 surround mix.
Just telling you about the mistakes I’ve made, so noone else will. My sound supervisor was really pissed when she found out the theatre could only do stereo, unless I had a film print. I also got a couple of complaints about the non-surround playback from the audience, as well.

If your source material is SD, then I hear a lot of people play back from DigiBeta.
Mine was in HD, so I played back from HDCAM.
Either way, the biggest problem I found with many theaters is the audio playback. The older houses don’t accomodate 5.1ch playback from a video deck unless you rent all the necessary decoders and stuff such as Dolby-E, which I hear are expensive. And Lt/Rt was a big let down for the sound mixer. To get 6 discreet chanels, I would have had to rent a D5 or HDCAM SR deck. (the projectionist kept telling me to play from a DVD, which does surround sound decoding) Thinking back, BluRay or HDDVD might have been a good compromise.
