Just guessing here, but would Flip4Mac WMV Studio Pro HD do the job, allowing you to view the HD WMV in QT PRO and the convert to your Media 100 HD codec? I do this with the SD WMV component and it works OK.

Blimey! Thanks for the info. Does it only affect the DV option or have you seen other issues since the upgrade?

Is the “tune up” sale still running? That would take any Media 100 system and bring it up to the latest software and XR level.
That should work on a board without an encryption key as the upgrade would derive a new code from the serial number of the card?

I’m running QT 7.1.1 under 10.3.9 with no problems. Did the DV option work after re-installing the earlier version of QT ?

Just as a footnote to Floh’s answer,
Is the intention for this DVD to be played on domestic DVD players or on a PC? If it is most likely to be used on a PC you might want to look at Sonic’s eDVD software. This would allow the DVD to launch word docs, or PDFs of the biogs when you click on the menus.
Using this method you could have basic biog info (and a nice big picture that moves or zooms)on the DVD video track and leave all the extended info to a PDF doc rather than trying to squeeze it all into a video resolution picture.
Just a thought!

If you could do the compression on the machine that has the media100 HD system on it, then you could do a ref file export to the compression software.
Bearing in mind the issues you’ve raised over file size and cost of a physical drive to put it on, it would probably be cheaper & easier to buy whatever software the client was intending to use and do the compression yourself.
Is that possible?

Ahh! Now, this rings a bell. This may be to do with telling either the transcoder or quicktime to use rosetta rather than the native intel code.
There was a similar problem posted a while back regarding the software codecs and intel macs

Perhaps the info there might help?

I’m running 8.2.3a on 10.3.9 on two systems with no problems with exports etc. QT7.1 hasn’t been problematic either.
Try exporting your ranges without audio, and then export the audio separately (if you are going to DVD chances are this won’t matter) – I seem to remember something on the cow about exporting problems and this sometimes worked as a workaround.

Is FCP running on the same G3 as media 100? If not that system will need to have the Media 100 transcoder installed on it. It can be downloaded from the media 100 website.
Hope that helps

Is there some reason why you can’t just open the relevant project files on the other system? If you transfer all the media over, it’ll re-link quite happily. Or have I misunderstood the problem?
