Here’s the LA Times obituary for this brilliant scientist:
Seems during World War II Kodak loaned him to Oak Ridge, Tennessee to work on the Manhattan Project.
I guess everyone in the film industry has worked on a bad movie but Mr. Widmer can claim a credit on the biggest bomb of all time.

I’m not sure of the exact nature of your problem, but if it helps you could export your clips once they are merged, and then bring them back in as new quicktimes, or merge them in sequences and export those.
In Final Cut’s past, this has been a useful work around.

I’d guess that folks who previously worked with SCSI have fewer firewire burn outs. With SCSI you need to make sure the device ID was set to a unique ID and not to a reserved ID, you had the right cable type and the chain terminated correctly, and there was no such thing as hot swapping. You had to shut down the whole system to switch drives.
Keeping such superstitions when using firewire never hurts (although powering down the device being connected will do the trick. I think it’s safe to leave the system running.)
Paranoia is sometimes a good thing, especially when connecting firewire devices.
But just because I’m paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out there watching me….

If that low cost drive has a poorly engineered firewire bridge card, it could put “out of range” voltage to your firewire cable, and burn out your mother board’s firewire bus.
I like a bargain, but I stay away from discount parachutes.

If you have access to a digital 8 camera, you can play your analog 8mm tape and it will be converted to DV format in the camera, and sent out via firewire.

There’s a built in FTP client in OS X. Under the Finder, Go menu, select connect to server. After you authenticate, it mounts on the desktop just like any volume, if I remember correctly.

FCP does not import flex files directly. You need to create a database in Cinema Tools, and import the flex file in there to make data records. Then you can immediately export a Final Cut Pro batch file, which as you could guess, Final Cut handles just fine.

I’ve had no problems with wiebetech.com enclosures.

Sounds a lot like a scratch. Could have happened in the camera, or in the telecine, or if your school loads spools themselves, could have been there.
Are you using reversal film or do you have a negative?

If the prime contributors to this forum occasionally plead for more orderly posting, I think that’s a small price to pay for the high quality information they provide.
Everyone has issues that test their patience. I think sarcasm within an online forum really tests mine.
