Why is the DVD dupe house inserting a 3:2 and why are they charging extra? DVD film titles are encoded at 23.98 because DVD players insert 3:2 on playback. At the house I worked at we ran all our film titles through a Ukon to remove the 3:2.
I suggest you start looking for another DVD authoring and encoding house because either they’re ripping you off, they’re incompetent or both.

Just curious has anyone tried deleting the quicktime receipts along with quicktime 7.4. Then reinstalling quicktime 7.3.1? You will find all the receipts for software versions in Library/Receipts. Worth a shot before nuking your drive.

Here are the options I can think of.
1. Export a self contained QT then export your audio channels as WAVs or AIFF which ever the AVid reads best. Import these files into AVID then lay back to the Digibeta.2. Use Automatic Duck to translate your FCP project into an AVID project.
3. Get a capture card for your FCP system and go to the Digibeta directly.

Also I found that for our Decklink HD Extreme cards the frame offset is 3.

What version of BM drivers are you on?

For me the issue is all or nothing. I have not seen it manifest in the video display (Decklink) only.
Out of curiosity do you have any issues with kernel panics or FCP crashed while rendering?

Well Jeremy if you’re crazy you’re not alone.
So we can compare notes, I’m working with a mix of 10bit SD and ProRes HQ 720P in a 10bit SD sequence. All media was captured using a Decklink HD Extreme 6.6.2. I am running FCP 6.0.2, QT 7.3, OSX 10.4.11, XSAN 1.4.2 all on Dual Quad Mac pros with 8GB RAM with the NVidia GeForce 7300 GT card. I am compositing footage using a mix of travel matte luma, chroma key and animation with embedded alpha.
My render setting is set to Best with 100% on frame and size. My sequences range from 5min to 13min in length. I have 4 edit bays each are identical in setup, hardware and software and this issue has manifested itself on each system.

Having a similar issue. In my case it happens with footage that has an alpha generated by composite mode travel matte luma or by a keying filter. When I render a sequence in total I get all sorts of problems like some weird new composite mode was set, freeze frames and time shifts. When I render clip by clip I don’t have any problems.
Apple pro video support suggests it’s corrupted media. Ok but it seems isolated to alpha composites. I was thinking it was a bandwidth issue with my XSan but knowing I am not alone in this I’ll be going back to Apple.

Are you supplying the HD projector? What is the projector’s native res? Is your mac the playback source or are you burning an optical disk? Is the gallery supplying these?
In the generic Apple ProRes HQ is an excellent codec. Used it on a bunch of shows with excellent results. The bit rate for 1280x720p 59.94 was about 30MB/s. About the same as 10bit SD. Unless you have a large raid array your choices are ProRes, DVCPRO HD, XDCAM HD, and HDV. Of these I’d use ProRes.
But it sounds like only you can answer your question. Run some tests and see what you like.

What I mean is what HD are you talking about? What it is will tell you what you should render.
