Just a thought: did you try resetting the CPU button on the motherboard – the little red one soldered directly on the circuit board next to the CPU slot? This might be a bit drastic and might cause more problems, but it sounds like you may have one older machine that doesn’t like Tiger …

With QT Pro, it used to be fairly simple to do a copy/paste routine to assemble one “big” movie from a bunch of smaller ones.
All the MOVs need to be the same exact size, and use the same codec for this to work, and I don’t know if it works with QT 7, but here’s the recipe. You need QT Pro to do this.
1. Open QT movie #1.
2. Select all (cmnd-A).
3. Copy All.
4. Create New Movie.
5. Paste All.
6. Open QT Movie #2.
7. Select all/Copy again
8. Select the New Movie created in step 4, and paste. The new clip will get pasted immediately after the first clip.Continue until you’ve got all the movies pasted into one big movie.
HTH – I’m sure you could do this with scripting as well, but I can’t help you there.

Tony:
When you play back audio, do you see the levels change in the Audio Mixer window?
If yes, then it sounds like (no pun intended) a routing thing, not a Media 100 thing.On our systems, there’s a little switch on the break-out box that needs to be configured for either balanced/XLR outputs or unbalanced/RCA outputs. These are line level outputs that need to be fed into an amplifer/mixer/external device, and you can’t just plug your headphones into these and get anything BUT hum. There’s also a software adjustment under Media Settings for -10/+4dB. You could adjust these to see if there is any difference.
Check your cabling and/or your settings you may have with any outboard audio gear (such as external mixer, amplifier, etc). In my experience, almost 90% of system problems are in the cabling.
HTH,

We’ve used dozens of La Cie drives, the d2 units as well as the “porche” bricks, and have had about a 10% failure rate. Unacceptable.
The La Cie fellow I spoke with at NAB said “that seems a little high” (NO KIDDING, PAL!!) and said that about 4% failure was to be expected.
You get what you pay for. 50,000 hours MTBF ain’t gonna happen for $150.00.
