When you use fast export you are using the codec you are using in Avid. If you don’t have the codec on your FCP Mac, it won’t work. Though that shouldn’t show up as an unrecognized file.
Are you exporting a QT or maybe you have AVI selected which is definitely an issue in the Mac universe?

Or, depending upon what area you are in, you could try Digital Service Station:

The education policy is to get you on the system through school. That doesn’t apply to the regular upgrades. Every point upgrade has a charge unless you are on Avid assurance.
If they didn’t do this, how would they pay for the engineers to write new code?
As far as how much it will cost, Avid couldn’t tell you even if they knew. I believe that might affect how they can report profits, etc.
And in reality, I’m fairly certain that none of the corporations out there could tell you what they are going to charge for anything 4 years form now.

Don’t know how you can “fix” it as the damage is already done. Ask for a better conversion maybe.

Also make sure to select the option where it keeps your numbers. That way it is very fast to reactivate each copy as you need it.

[Jon Zanone] “Not sure about the maximum number in a group.”
A few years bak when FCP added multicam and was bragging about how many you could group together, a couple guys at Avid decided to test it as no on actually knew the answer. I think they quit testing at something like 200 clips. Needless to say, there is no limit that you will run into.
Playback is 9 as stated erlier.

[rob ray] “Thanks again,for your huge knowledge base. “
You’re very welcome. I am not alone in the ranks of folks who enjoy helping others, but I am blushing over the praise.
I just look at it as a big ship we are all in and if we don’t help each other when we can, this sucker will probably sink. No fun in that! 🙂

Okay, here is the background, the Classic Nitris uses built in cards in the computer to handle a lot of the processing. This means you get dedicated hardware handling your media. The problem is, that every time the computer manufacturers change the PCI slots, as just happened with the XW8600, Avid would have to reengineer the entire board set. Very costly. The XW8400 is the LAST computer that Classic Nitris will work on.
So the solution they came up with is to move as much outside the computer as possible, and only have a bridge card to the computer which can be easily upgraded.
The hope is that the CPU / GPU in computers will increase in speed fast enough to compensate for the difference of not having the cards built in. Dedicated hardware will always be faster, but NEVER cheaper than using just the existing computer. Unfortunately Avid has to compete on price to some degre with others.
As for what is the difference? Nitris DX does Universal in HD and the Classic Nitris doesn’t. Nitris DX also can handle some metadata in HD like closed captioning (although not to the extent FCP / Kona3 can) which Classic cannot.
