Hi
Look at your timeline about 7 mins in – have you got a corrupt still image there?
Or even more likely some different-type footage that isn’t exactly the same frame rate as your sequence.

Hi
Mac OS error code 0
This error is commonly due to a file system problem on a target (destination) drive. It is typically indicative of an incompatibility, rather than a failure. The common cause is a single file (one movie, one text document, etc.) that exceeds the maximum file size supported by the file system.

Usually, this is seen when copying data to a hard disk formatted in the FAT32 (MS DOS) file system. The FAT32 file system supports a maximum single file size of 4GB. Attempting to copy a file larger than 4GB will result in error 0.

[Shane Ross] “Those who say only know rumors..”
Hi
There are some indirect facts out there – this was posted Feb 2009:
https://jobs.apple.com/index.ajs?BID=1&method=mExternal.showJob&RID=30024&CurrentPage=46
Job title Video Editor Product Designer, Pro App
Apple’s Pro Apps Design Group is seeking a passionate video editor who understands the complexity of software product design.
Qualifications:
-Minimum 5 years of experience as a video editor…
-Expert-level knowledge of editing, motion graphics, and finishing suites like FCP, Avid, Smoke,
Luster, etc.
-The ideal candidate is not afraid of a blank white board or blank screen…

And of course Steve himself quashed these ‘for sale’ rumours last May:

Comment from: Steve Jobs
This rumor is false. Competitors have been trying to spread it around for a few months now. Apple’s Pro business is thriving and it is not for sale. Period. Steve

[UPDATE: 5:31pm EDT: – Comment posted… in Reader Feedback (stamped May 02, 08 – 05:13 pm) from “Steve Jobs” did indeed come from an Apple Inc. IP address in Cupertino, CA. We’re not saying it is from Mr. Jobs, but it did come from Apple.]

[Roli Rivelino] “The only format it will accept is Windows FAT32 “
Hi
Thats because your drive has a FAT32 partition map.
Did you overwrite that by creating a new ‘1 partition’ map in the Partition tab?

[Roli Rivelino] “…and the 2gb that I installed myself.”
Are you sure you put it in the correct slots – the Mac Pro has a very specific slot-configuration layout.

[Roli Rivelino] “…it refuses to recognise that I’ve installed a PCI (esata) card”
A Mac Pro uses PCI-e cards, not the older PCI cards.

[Michael Sacci] “how does one get Comp3 legally without FCS2?”
Hi
With Logic Studio 8.

[Paul Dickin]

Hi
Well the rumours today are:
…several Pro Application updates that are nearing a public release. Among them is a new version of Apple’s ProRes Codec for its high-definition lossy video compression format and a significant update to the company’s professional color grading software application labeled Color 1.5.

Furthermore, Apple is testing significant but incremental updates to Final Cut Server and Motion 4, both of which should see a release in the near term. Video production houses that uses these applications alongside Xsan 2.x may also be interested in learning that a new point release of cluster file system software code-named “Carrera” is also due for release shortly.
Oh, Logic 9 also…
And Snow Leopard for August.

So conspicuous by its absence from that lot is FCP, which is probably a good thing – because there’s a lot of code rewriting to do 🙁

[Paul Dickin]

Hi
Have you installed all the successive Pro Apps Updates as well?

[Rafael Amador] “In PAL land all the DVD players play NTSC too. “
Hi
PAL DVD players and TVs can cope with 29.97fps fine, but often the scaling 480 to 576 is not good.
A proper conversion looks better.

[Paul Dickin]

[Lisa Rolley] ” was going to use the natress plug converter to make the conversion to PAL and then just export the quicktime and encode in compressor for a PAL DVDsp project. “
Hi
Yes, thats fine.
As well as NTSC to PAL I do the reverse (PAL to NTSC) often, using exactly that workflow.

[Peter Corbett] “Are 8-cores of 2.6GHz better than 4-cores x 2.92GHz? One 2.92 processor is a fair bit cheaper than a lower-power dual processor system. “
Hi
We don’t know the answers until someone gets all the different models and tests them properly.
And when Apple introduces Snow Leopard and updates FCS 2 they will move the goal posts off somewhere else…

The single CPU is limited (as far as Apple tell us) in that it can only handle 2GB RAM modules – the octocores are specified for up to 4GB per slot.

We don’t yet know if there is a downside to filling all four RAM slots per CPU – the CPUs are designed for triple channel RAM, so the fourth slot is sharing the bandwidth of one of the other slots.

So many questions, so few answers so far…
