[Trevor Gilchrist] “WSSWW”
The BB or B1B2 would be the correct selection.
If both the fields that make up the whole frames are contained in the same TC address Field 1 Field 2 would be the correct setting.
If you are getting field reversal issues try unchecking “Standard upper/lower”Matt

Jeff is absolutely correct if you want to make a DVD. Program streams are self contained files. Follow Jeff’s workflow for DVD creation.

What you are making is an elementary stream for DVD encoding. These are unmuxed files. What you want is a program stream which you can find in the Formats/MPEG-2 inside Compressor settings.

Compressor 2 does not have the option to make a program stream MPEG-2. It can only generate an elemental stream m2v or a transport stream m2t.

Color will render out ProRes. So you can make the switch at that point.

The answer to the global question that your subject line raises is yes. If you know how to script XML you can automate a lot of FCP. I used an XML script to automate the process of taking clips from the bin and laying them out in a sequence with black and slates in between. Having a 100 plus clips this saved hours of time. The field is not nearly as mature as AE scripting which has many more contributers posting code online but it is there.
As for your modified request, compressor will do what you want. Under the filters tab in the inspector you will find a fade in/out filter. You can specify duration, color, and opacity. There is a corresponding filter for audio as well.

Just note that the 6.5.x update fixed a major bug involving ETT to Digibeta. Let us know if 6.4 fixes your issue. I’m quite curious.

To bad the G5 DL card is PCI-X however the breakout cable I believe is the same. It would rule out that as the problem. What slot is DL card in?

How long is the run from the problem system to the machine room?
I have had control issues off our patch bay and always with the system with the longest run. The first issue was due to the way the bay normals. At my house we section off a portion of the audio bay so we can use TT to patch control and the patch bay was just a one way normal so the signal was being split between the patch and the normal. Second issue was the 9pin connected to the deck was loose weakening the signal just enough to cause problems for the more distant FCP systems. I’d double check your signal flow to see if at any point there is something that would weaken the signal.
Also I assume you are also connected to house tri-sync or none at all and just syncing to video output.

Is the deck directly connected to the DL card or are you running through a patch bay?
