Actually, sorry, I need to correct some info…
I have a 2008 Mac Pro, it’s PCI lane allocation is fixed at x16, x16, x4, x4 and cannot be changed. I also forgot my RAID controller is in Slot 2! Full house.

My Mac Mojo DX is set up in Slot 3 with a x4 lane width.
I have an ATTO fiber card in slot 4, again, x4 lane width
Slot 2 is empty and Slot 1 is my graphics card which must be x16.
Your lane width allocation is all wrong and you should have the Mojo DX connected before powering up, not after.
Not trying to be rude, but are you really surprised that it’s not working when you deliberately set it up contrary to Avid’s specification?

If there are timecode breaks on the tape then Avid may be having difficulty re-cueing. Try lowering the deck pre-roll time until it is able to find sufficient control track to continue.

Save yourself the grief and just install Leopard. As Michael said, no one has Snow Leopard yet so no one can really comment with any accuracy. For me, I’ll wait 6 months or so until the rest of the forum members who do upgrade write here about any bugs they’re experiencing!

Playout to tape is for archival purposes. Still going to implement it the way you’re suggesting but client always backs up separately to tape.

ProRes on Mac Avid is fine, but it’s an import/conversion process to get it into the Avid.

Are you running on PC or Mac?
If you’re PC and you’re trying to export 10gb to a FAT32 drive it will stop due to the file size restrictions of FAT32. In order to isolate the problem, can you export in another codec with any success, say Animation for arguments sake? If so, it’s not the drive format but most likely the QT version you’re running.

Check your version of Quicktime.
I got caught out once and had the same problem when itunes self updated and messed up my quicktime.

Thanks guys.

I’d find another gig, quickly. If the production doesn’t know (or care about) the difference between NTSC and PAL there are greater issues here and, odds on, you’re going to be the one who cops all the grief when the fit hits the shan.
