Thank you so much, you just saved me so much time.

Not sure if you tried this or not, but I usually set my chapter markers in the timeline (hit ‘m’ twice and click on the chapter marker button. Then I export the whole sequence as a quick time movie, don’t check the self contained box, there is also a pulldown menu for including dvd markers as well. Then export then quicktime into compressor. After you enter in all your settings, click on the inspector for the mpeg2 and under one of the tabs there is a check box for including dvd chapters, make sure that is checked.
Hopefully this isn’t just a bunch of stuff you already know, but I’ve had the same problem so just thought I’d try to help. -
I’ve had this exact problem. I don’t know what causes it, but I have a work around. I export my entire sequence as a Quick time movie, bring it into a new sequence, then use edit to tape. It’s definitely a pain, but it prevents dropped frames and you don’t have to render again.

thanks for the insight. Sorry for not doing a search first.

I have heard that Firewire is not frame accurate. This could be the answer. Is it off 14 frames everytime? If so, is there a way you can adjust your in point to correct for it?

The reason it looks 4:3 is because 720p isn’t actually 1280X720 it’s actually 960X720. Occasionally I can make a freeze frame of the shot, set in and out points, then export ‘using quick time conversing’.
The only definite way to fix this is to export it normally then reset the image size to 1280X720 in photoshop. -
One problem I’ve had with onlining on FCP is dropping frames during an output. I work on DVCProHD on a G5 with less than the recommended ram. To overcome it, before I output I export a single quick time file to my fastest drive (Raid). That way Final Cut doesn’t have to look around for my render files. Other than that I’ve been really happy with it’s outputting capabilities

Thanks for the help. By the way I love the tutorials on your website.

I uprez SD footage to HD quite a bit. Just throw it in your timeline and scale it up to 199, then use the De-Interlace filter and set it to medium. It doesn’t look great but if the SD footage was shot well you can get away with it. If you have more SD footage than HD it’s probably best to down rez the HD, but if you have to output on HD, this is the only way I know of.

I agree, if you you can capture it through your card as DVCProHD, it will probably save you a lot of time. For some reason HDV takes longer to render, export, and encode to MPEG2.
