Christian, my worry is that FCP is not the right tool for broadcast audio. Apple know that which is why they developed Sound Track Pro.
Basics like being able to produce stems of FX, music, dialog etc are not possible in FCP. Broadcast spec limiting is also difficult in FCP. Audio is the weakest area.

Vers 5.1.4 was early days for HDV in Final Cut. I am not sure if later version can print HDV to tape either but I am pretty sure it doesn’t work in that vers.
You could try searching the forum as it has come up many times before.

I am unusual in that I grade, online and mix audio for broadcast. If you wish to learn what I have from years in broadcast telecine, plus building and running my own post house for 25 years from a blog or online tutorial, then good luck. Meeting tech specs is just the beginning. Learning to be creative within those technical boundaries is the real challenge.
I can tell you that with FCP it is possible to produce broadcast spec pictures, but mixing audio in FCP is not going to deliver the pre mix stems and quality result that a proper audio studio will produce.

Look at the AJA IO .

Yes the PAL world got it right many years ago and standardised on all formats being Upper Field. Then some idiot let DV codec through the tech vetting with lower fields.
So DV is the only lower field PAl codec.

My G5 has 10.4.11 with FCP 6.0.6 and Qt 7.5 and runs without problems

Do your field dominance settings match the tape footage?

If you shoot in HD don’t edit in DV SD. You are throwing away your resolution before you start editing.
Edit in HD and then search this forum on HD to SD using Compressor.

Ahh, thanks Tom for that clarification

Did it have the same file name? Why not just cut the new graphic in, replacing the old?
