Google Aspera – it’s super-high-speed online access that may be of help to you.

It’s rather pricey, but it is a viable solution.

Thank you all for your input.

I managed to convince the producers that Aspera was the only way to go.

Thanks again and all the best,

Thanks all for the help and thank you Steven for the detailed explanation.

All the best,

Thanks Rafael,

That works, but how would I deal with 159:42 [ie 159.42 minutes?]

Steve,

Thanks for the tip – I’m ashamed to admit this, but I hardly use Excel and
don’t quite know how to execute your suggestion, so if you could give me an
‘idiots-guide’ to the process, I’d appreciate it.

Walter – thanks for the suggestion, but that widget, and countless other TC calculators I’ve tried don’t do what I’m looking for.

Thanks in advance,

Wayne

Hi Rafael,

Thanks for the prompt reply.

The first time I hit Ctrl-U, the Viewer snapped into place, but when I tried it on subsequent clips, nothing doin’.

Anything else?

What could be causing this?

Tx,

Me again – here are my system specs:

G5 Dual 2.0
FCP Ver. 6.0.3
QT 7.4.5

What I find works best and is the fastest is I make droplets of the exact settings I want [in Compressor] – and all I do is drag my files onto the droplets, and Compressor makes the files in a fraction of the time of QT pro.

Furthermore, you can drag multiple clips onto the droplet and they export as a batch – so, no having to futz with individual clips.

And finally, I’ve got my Compressor set up with Qmaster to harness the processors of multiple computers, so it takes exponentially fast, too.

I make a ton of compressed videos every day, so this works well for me.

And then there is this, which looks quite interesting, but I haven’t tried it:

Thanks Tom,

I’ll give it a try.
