David and Rich,
Thanks again for the input and advice.
I’ve tried a few times to export the HDV sequence as a QT, only to have it be rejected by DVDSP. This happens even when I cut the sequence down to a 1 hour rt.The error message I’m getting is “One or more files failed to import. Common reasons for this are they do not match the current project’s video standard or their file format is not supported.”
Any ideas how to fix this?
much appreciated,

Hi David,
Thanks for sharing your “quick and dirty way” to print a dvd. You’re right, it does seem like the simplest approach to use.In the interest of learning, is the QT method a time-saver over compressor?
And the reason to utilize compressor would be better quality output?
p.s. any guesses how long it would take to generate a QT mov for a 2 hour HDV sequence?
Many thanks for the help!

Zane, David and Michael,
thanks so much for the Soundtrack suggestion. I took a stab at the noise reduction tool last night. I haven’t gotten the output quite right yet but I’ll keep experimenting with the noise print today.Really appreciate the help!

Nick,
by golly I think you’ve nailed it. I went back and checked the footage and wouldn’t you know, none of it had a date&time stamp. So that explains why FCP couldn’t create new clips on start/stop.It’s very satisfying to have an answer to this problem. thanks again!

Nick, thanks for the reply.
So what you’re saying is that if the date&time was not set on the camera when the footage was originally shot, then the start/stop function does not work in FCP? -
David,
Thanks so much for the quick answer and explanation! -
yes, the automatic clips are very handy. But I notice that it isn’t happening for HDV footage shot on a different camera. So it looks like some manual logging will be necessary to keep those clip sizes manageable.
