It seems that if I want to get a reasonably unbiased view of the actual news (I don’t give a rat’s behind about Tiger Woods) going on in this country I need to get it from the BBC.

Fairness Doctrine, multiple ownership rules, public service requirements…..
I can take about 95% of what I learned in Broadcast Law (in the late 70’s) and throw it right out the window.
Check out “The Death and Life of American Journalism” by Bob McChesney and John Nichols. If you’re one of those that just gets your news from Fox you probably won’t care for it – but for the rest of us it’s an interesting read.

I had a similar problem a few weeks ago. The problem turned out to be one of my internal hard drives. If you have TechTool or a similar disk utility, check the SMART status of your drives. In my case one of the drives passed the test, but 3 of the drive parameters were in the yellow-indicating that the drive could fail soon. As soon as I removed that drive from the system the spinning beachball of death disappeared.

Without knowing how your graphics were created it’s hard to say. It sounds like you’ve got a pixel aspect mismatch somewhere.
Here’s one thing to try:
Set up a new timeline in your project using the same preset that you’ve been using. Before you drag any graphics to the timeline, go to the browser window and highlight one of your graphics. Slide the blue slider until you see the Pixel Aspect column in the browser. If it says “Square” in the Pixel Aspect column, right click (or control-click) on it to change it to NTSC-CCIR601. If it already says NTSC… control-click on it to change it to “Square”. Now drag that graphic to the timeline and try exporting the timeline.Mark Landman

There was a production manager at one of the TV stations I used to work at who said that your situation was like being a deli owner who has a customer that asks for a sh*t sandwich. Being appalled at that request, the owner suggests a nice corned-beef on rye or a BLT – but the customer insists on a sh*t sandwich. The production manager said in that case about all the owner can do is ask if he’d like butter on it.
“Would you like butter on that?”, “Pass the butter” or variations on that became code phrases among the crew for bad spots being produced at the insistence of the client.
I feel your pain.
