With 24GB RAM, 8 cores with 2GB assigned per core, I’ve never been able to get more than 12% on a render.

I think what you’re expecting is that when you select ‘Use Previews’ and your Preview File Format is the same as your desired export format, AME will just use the already created preview files as the exported file, which would actually be fairly ‘instant’.
However, this isn’t the way it works – it merely uses the previews to transcode from, rather than the raw timeline data. So there probably isn’t any time savings in selecting ‘Use Previews’, and in some cases, it may actually hurt you time-wise.
Sounds like you are wanting to do a rapid export of your timeline for use in another encoder perhaps? If I’m right, you would benefit from checking in on the development of the Advanced Frameserver project…

The AFS lets you instantaneously create an reference AVI of your timeline data. No actual video file is created, it just wraps your timeline into a very small AVI, ready for use in any other program you like.

We recently had to work with a lot of DVD’s for a project, and discovered some issues with using the VOB’s. First of all, there is a file size limitation which may force a title to span multiple VOB’s. Next, if you load the VOB’s sequentially into a sequence, there may or may not be a seamless transition at the edit points. This occurred even when renaming the files to ‘mpg’. However, we stumbled upon a really nice solution. We happened to have Nero Multimedia 10 installed which we generally have used solely for disc burning, but read somewhere that the included ‘editor’ – ‘Nero Vision’ – would load the titles and allow you to export into whatever format you needed. Well, we discovered that it’s even better than described. When Nero Vision loads a title from a DVD, it actually creates a single MPEG for the entire title, stitching the VOB’s together, and from the looks of it, it isn’t actually re-encoding the files, but using the original VOB’s, stitching them together seamlessly, and then rewrapping as an MPEG-2. It does this quite quickly, which lead me to feel that there is no actual re-encoding going on.

The only ‘quick’ way to remove the watermark would be if the footage was from a locked down shot, and you can cover the watermark with pixels from it’s surrounding area. However, if the shot is moving, it’ll be a frame by frame rotoscope – not very quick.

“Match Settings” means exactly that – it matches the settings of the sequence. If your sequence setting uses MPEG for it’s previews, and you export with ‘Match Settings’, you get an MPEG coded file. If you change the extension to .mov, then you get an MPEG coded file with a .mov extension. I would seriously doubt that anything ‘Apple’ would be able to handle a .mov wrapped MPEG.
But, it looks like you’ve found the solution!

Probably not directly, but a good start would be here…

Then make any custom changes that you had in FCP using this guide…

I’d first take a look into the file with Mediainfo, a free utility that will tell you every thing you need to know about how the file was encoded. That may shed some light. However, it looks like you may have to transcode to a more amiable codec.

Red Giant has their own forum here. Might be a better place for this question. However, I’d contact Red Giant’s support. I’ve always found it to be second to none.

When we receive XDCAM cards we simply copy the contents to our media RAID. Then, import the card’s files from the RAID.

We went several years ago. If you’ve been to NAB, DV Expo can be a bit of an anticlimax, except for being in NYC. NAB has been severly scaled down over the past few years, but is still an awesome show. If DV Expo has suffered from the same sort of scale down, it might be a disappointment.
