Yes, they’re finalized. They play in set top boxes and computers, but if you look at them on the desktop they show up as an empty folder with a small red circle with a minus sign in it.

EMP is PC only at this juncture. I’m guessing there’s a chance EMP will work with the Intel Mac boxes in the not too distant future, but I need a solution now.

We use CM now and I think it’s amazing. The quality is WAY better than Compressor and it’s about 4 times faster on our machines (Dual 2.5). For the most part it runs at 2 Xs realtime.

I have been using the elemental streams in Compression Master. I tried the Muxed option but DVDSP wouldn’t even recognize those files. The impression I get is that DVDSP is choking while trying to Mux (multiplex) the elemental streams into one stream. Like I said in my earlier post, I can preview fine always and it’s working fine for small projects (I just made one using the 5 meg setting for 5 :30 spots), but it craps out when the tracks get longer than five or six minutes. I sent a trouble tick to popwire but have yet to hear from them. Is there someone on here that can post a preset that’ll work for longer format pieces in DVDSP4?

We use Avids for editing. I work in 2:1 or 1:1, I export quicktimes using the Avid codec and then go right into compressor.
We have Compressor 2, and my settings are: 2 pass VBR, 8.5peak, 7.2 base, best motion estimation, lower fied first.
The problems I’m having are: sparkles (mpeg noise) in some dissolves. And a general lifting of the black levels and thereby a slight desaturation. I read that this is intentional from Apple due to some issues with DV (they presume that is the source). In my case we’re digitizing digi-beta film transfers or HD camera originals. Compressor is easy to use for sure, but the adjustments seem to add more noise than they’re worth. I compressed the program I was having issues with in Procoder and although it solves the sparkels in the dissolves, the overall look was harsh compared to what we’re used to seeing out of compressor. I think I’m going to give Compression Master a try next as I’d like to keep the workflow all Mac if possible.
Any comments regarding Compression Master setting is more than welcome. -
We’re having the exact same problem here on one of our graphics stations (dual 2.5, 10.4.1, 6.5.1) locks after rendering, all comands are greyed out, but you can still work in the time line etc, just no save. It seems to have happened when updated to 10.4.1, but not sure if that’s what broke it.
