UFF!
It took me FOREVER to deal with the uncompressed movie, specifically because I had to do it twice due to a “file offline” error that I got AFTER!!! the export (even when I had checked everything in FCP step by step and everything was online…); well, whatever, I fixed that already sustituing the files for a “fresh” copy of themselves, but now that I have the uncompressed file, Compressor is giving me the “unable to connect to background” error”.
I had transfer everything to my new Macbook Pro with Leopard and here we are!

I tried ALL the solutions suggested by Apple and non of them solved the problem. So, I decided to take the uncompressed file to my old-slow-but-loyal G4 to use Compressor.

But I was wondering if (using the Macbook Pro, which is faster because I have serious problems with time in this moment!) I would have alternative solutions that keep the quality in DVD Studio Pro, using a different program than Compressor.

I mean, can I use this quicktime movie stright into DVDSP? Is there an alternative solution to get the MPEG+AIFF files?

Could I consider MPEG Streamclip, for instance, without sacrificing the quality?

I mean, I still will start in the G4 but if I had an alternative not using Compressor in the Macbook Pro, I would try it too because this computer is much faster than the old one.

Ok, Thanks a lot both.

Everything seems to be working properly in Compressor. Once I check the MPEG2 I will let you know how it finishes.

THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR HELP!!

Thanks a lot, Rafael!

I will go direct to Compressor then. I actually had apply a Broadcast Safe filter to the clips I saw were in the limit butonce I subtitled everything, it gave me the luma warning again; so, I think it can be related to that.

I hope everything will be ok once I built the DVD in DVDSP. I just wanted to be sure before building the final DVD because if a 3 minutes test took like 1 hour, I imagine the final 32 min doc will take a longgg time.

Another question, just in case:
When I did the 10 Bit Uncompressed exporting, it created a final file with the name of the doc (2 GB) but it also created 55 similar files with the name of the doc plus extra information, and all of them together are about 100 GB. Do I have to keep all of them?
