This could well be a colour-space issue. Some NLEs (particularly Media 100 and I believe AVID) have their colourspace between RGB 16-235 whilst others such as FCP use RGB 0-255. A lot of encoders expect the input levels to be RGB 0-255 and so putting the other flavour of QT into it produces the over-bright, low contrast images you describe when viewed on a TV.
As a Media 100 user I face this all the time. You can try doing a levels adjust to correct the difference, or simply adjust the brightness, contrast and gamma in the encoder to taste. Alternatively look at Bitvice from Innobits. It is a good solid encoder that has a “Studio RGB” button that is designed to handle this colourspace issue.
Of course this may not be the problem you are facing, but it might be worth checking out just in case.

I’m up for it. See you there!

Cool!
Perhaps us UK users could meet up for a chat like the US lot did at NAB ?

You have to open the exported file from Media 100 in QT (Pro?) and enable the text track that has the chapter markers in it.
I went through the mill on this a while back . (https://forums.creativecow.net/cgi-bin/new_read_post.cgi?forumid=4&postid=856094) has the answers

Andy,
Have you tried to boot from the OSX CD and then run Disk Utility from there ? Perhaps a scan of the drives and a permissions repair from that might help.
When you booted up, did the drives appear on the desktop as normal, just empty ? or did they not even mount? Were there any files left or was it completely blank? Did the OSX system files remain, or did they go as well and you needed to re-install?

Hi Dave,
I recieved one of the RED training DVDs when I purchased a while back, and while it was interesting and informative, I don’t think that I would have paid for the disc separately.
It may be just me, but I also found it hard to watch the DVD and use the software at the same time, so it became more of a passive learning tool.
I’m sure many people will welcome the DVD, especially new users, but I personally would prefer to see more specific “how to” tutorials on the media 100 website, perhaps accompanied by some streamed video or flash.
As broadband bandwidth gets greater it would be fun to be able to download the turtorials as Media 100 media so you could view the tutorial and maipulate the media itself as you went along. OK so maybe that’s a bit far off!
Hope that helps,

Hi Chris,
As far as I am aware the Tune-Up is software only. This is from the Boris on-line store,

What kind of limitation?

Just out of interest, what’s the price of a refurbished p6000? And are they available in the UK?
P.S. Any news on when the new stuff will start shipping ?
