Hi, thanks for responding. The process I’m working on is exporting 5 different FCP timelines, and then running each of them through Compressor to fit on its own DVD in what will be a 5 DVD set. I’ve run into the same problem of m2v or ac3 files sticking at 99% no matter which of the 5 timelines I’m working with, so I can’t imagine it could be a media problem.
In an earlier attempt to solve this problem, I had been exporting self-contained mov files from FCP for use in Compressor, but as this didn’t seem to help my success rate in Compressor, and because it was taking up a lot of hard drive space (self-contained movs for this being 40Gbs large), I went back to exporting and working with ref mov files. I have passed reference movs through Compressor successfully, so I assumed reference movs would be okay to work with and would save me some space. But if there’s even a sliver of hope that using self-contained movs might help my “successful compression batting average” here I will certainly give it another shot.
As for doing a clean installation of software, I have to confess that it has been quite a while. I should do that, maybe it will make this operation go a little more smoothly.
Thanks again, if I manage to figure anything else out, I’ll post an update.

Nice. Thanks for responding so quickly. Okay, I see, it’s more an issue to be approached in DVD Studio Pro, not in FCP or Compressor. I guess I need to get better acquainted with DVDSP and figure that out. Thanks again for the help guys.

GOD BLESS YOU! Thank you so much! I can’t believe the first response had the right answer for me. Also I watched your tutorial and you’ve got adorable kids. Thanks again, and have a great day!
