Just tried Mainconcept reference and encore didn’t like that one either.

However, encore was OK with squeeze’s blu-ray mpeg2

I guess I’ll just have to install AME on that machine for blu-ray compressions.

Thanks, I’ll give Restream a try with those SD videos. I’m using Encore just to create simple blu-rays, nothing fancy. I just imported my HD blu-ray H264 from Squeeze (using Squeeze’s blu-ray preset) and Encore wants to transcode it.

Hmm, well this one is running windows 7 with a Mojo SDI, the other is Windows XP SP3 with a Nitris DX, otherwise exact same CPUs, MC version, and quicktime version. The files that I’m working with were originally AVC-Intra on a P2, imported into MC set for AVC-Intra in the media creation settings. We are not using AMA or working with the original P2 files. I have tried twice to uninstall and reinstall quicktime and the AVC-Intra codec from Panasonic with the regular windows uninstaller. Quicktimes and refs go white with both mixed media and just AVC-Intra exported files. Thanks for brainstorming so far…

I just got a message back from Avid support. If I understand them correctly MC will only export and read quicktime AVC-Intra with a Nitris DX:

“AVC-Intra only supported with Nitris Dx and that is the main reason for which under the system with Mojo SDI the export fails. ”

I also noticed that when I open up those AVC-Intra quicktimes I exported, the codec is listed as Avid AVC-I, which would support the idea that the MC with Nitris has its own flavor of AVC-Intra codec. And from Avid’s AVC-I Codec Module FAQ:

Will Media Composer Nitris DX include the AVC-Intra encoder?
Composer will ship only with the NitrisDX Codec, but can get the AVC-Intra module as option. Symphony systems will ship with the AVC-Intra included.

I haven’t tried to read any P2 files from a camera on this system yet. What I’m working with is P2 footage that was imported by the other MC onto an editshare. The project and all the AVC-Intra media show up and play on both systems no problem. It’s just that on this one computer the avc-intra quicktime codec doesn’t seem to install correctly no matter what I try. If I make a ref from a sequence that has mixed media such as DnxHD and AVC-Intra, the ref will open in quicktime and start to play, but as soon as it hits an AVC-Intra shot it will go to white and give me a missing codec error. I’m mainly concerned about making quicktime refs from MC so that I can bring them into Sorenson Squeeze.

Having the same problem and trashing the files didn’t work. Only other solution I could find in Avid forums is to uninstall, trash the files, and reinstall…

So are you saying that it will sync to 23.97, but to sync to 24 I would have to speed it up?
