Ok, i went though and made sure that all my clips, subclips, and multiclips had reels assigned to them, but there was no luck. I hear that if you create an empty project and then copy past all the sequences you want to have media managed in to this empty project, that you might have different results. Has anyone ells heard of this practice and does it work?
TB.

Cheers.

As it turns out the .VOB files are MPEG program Stream. I have not seen any sign of a separate audio file. but that does not mean that they don’t exist. When I open them up with VLC the clips still have audio.
Any further Ideas?
Thanks
Thomas.

Yes, I am on a standard mac pro tower, Dual core intel xeon. Processing speed of 2.66 GHZ
5 GB memory.

When i attempt to export one of the Quicktime files I use File>Export>quicktime movie file. I set the codec as DV NTSC 48kHZ anamorphic. I set the include for audio and video, Markers are set to chapter markers, Recomposes all frames is checked, make movie self contained is checked. After that i set to export in a folder on my RAID. is there any other information i could be forgetting?

September 4, 2008 at 10:50 pm in reply to: Connecting to NTSC monitor

I forgot to mention this last bit. we have a Matrox device. I unfortunately am fairly unfamiliar with the workings of this device, but we have one so if any of you fine editors out there think that this could make a difference in my situation pleas let me know. I looked all over it and hate to say that it does not look like it has any ports for S-video, but perhaps i am wrong. please get back to me.
thanks,
thomas

September 3, 2008 at 9:26 pm in reply to: Connecting to NTSC monitor

The Monitor used to work. I have set up many NTSC monitors to mirror what my desktop before. The monitor is connected to a Sony DSR-11 Via S-video. Then the Deck is connected to the back of my Macs Monitor Via firewire. I would use the manual, but the office in which i am working is a bit cluttered and I cant seem to find it. (It was this way when i got here, not by my choice.) I have used this deck a lot before. So Im guessing when they took the monitor for a shoot some setting got changed on it . The monitor is a Sony Trinitron.
