I never solved the MP2 playback issue, but the guys at Hulu insisted that I shouldn’t be worried as THEY use VLC all the time for their QC. (That kind of surprised me!)
So, I turned it over to them and it passed QC with flying colors.
Your “sales” guy at Hulu should have provided you with a spec/standards sheet for their encodes. It’s actually quite easy. The XML might be another story, but hopefully you aren’t being burdened with that. Let me know if you need any help, but I’d definitely start with the guidebook…it’s well written and very clear.

Thanks for checking out the footage. You are having the same issue as me. Drop that file in VLC and it should play back fine.
Oddly enough, the folks at Hulu told me that they are huge VLC folks and if it played back in VLC, just send it along for QC.
I’ll upload you the source file tomorrow and update this thread when I do!

Hi Desiree…
MP2 Playback component is installed. I reinstalled it after Snow Leopard as a precaution, but this has happened regardless.

I’m not worried about anything. Just wondering why the software that should be working is not. I don’t know about you, but in my position I can’t be the guy who goes “oh well, this inexplicably works or doesn’t work, I’ll just move on and hope it makes sense the next time”.

There seems to be a lot of threads popping up in here that would be better suited for the FCP Basics forum. Can they be moved?

EQ
Just roll off the highs and lows and crank up the mids. That’s really what any preset parameter is doing anyway.

Holy crap..haha..
That wasn’t as bad as SOME I’ve seen, but “BRING A SIDE”??…wow!
Haha

Comparing an online forum’s traffic to NAB’s traffic (and it’s subsequent relevance to Avid) was kind of a strange comparison and I’m not sure what point it really galvanized.
That Avid can focus it’s resources better?
By preaching to the faithful? The “faithful” is one by one getting replaced by Apple savvy kids. The kinda kids that were at Apple’s booth in LEGION at the last NAB.
I’ve been to NAB TWICE in my life…once in 1997 and once in 2007.
The decade long break was a excellent chance to see very clearly how much our industry has changed.
I’m not going to get into what’s better, FCP or AVID, because that’s really a moot point.
What I saw at NAB was a pep rally for Apple…THOUSANDS of guys younger than me (I’m 32) crowded around the Apple booth salivating…interested….knowledgeable….wanting aboard FCP.
Avid? Not so much.
Much like how Toyota and Honda planted the seed thirty+ years ago amongst young and thrifty Americans that their vehicles were cheap, good and reliable, Apple has done the same thing. It’s a branding juggernaut that young people identify with and are GROWING UP WITH.
Avid? Not so much.
Say what you will about young editors, roll your eyes at the perceived lack of “pro” work FCP can handle or keep convincing yourself that the industry will stay the way it is forever, but fact is, the young guys crowding around FCP’s booth last year are THE FUTURE and arguably the PRESENT.
Avid is taking YET ANOTHER step to remove themselves from the future and dig themselves deeper into the ESTABLISHED market that thinks Avid can do know wrong and would never fathom FCP as an alternate. That crowd is going the way of the dinosaur wether we like it or not.

Got it installed.
When I saw this at NAB, they had a feature where you could output a QT of the proxy W/ TC Burn-In.
That was the feature we were looking forward to the most…
Am I missing it or does it look like it was left out?

Ok..I don’t want to get sidetracked with semantics though….
Thanks for the tip..
Tom, I’m still curious in a response if you have the time.
