John,
OK. That makes perfect sense. So, if there were a few big renders near the beginning of the program, I’d see a huge estimated time for the encode and I could expect that to ramp down if fewer renders followed. Thank you.

Describe your DAT machine and a little about your FCP system and maybe we can give you a more detailed answer. Capture devices like the AJA line have RS-422 control which will bring in the time code with the audio. Certain methods of dubbing the DAT to other formats might work, too.
So far I haven’t gotten access through the Windows encoder or even simply playing the file in WM Player 10. Both say the codec is not available. I do have QT Pro on the machine. I’ve followed the links to manually search for the codec, but it doesn’t exist. You’re not running WME in Windows on an Intel Mac are you?
Yes it was. The image always seemed to be at the same place, though. It never fell into another position or changed during playback. It’s a mystery, but a fixed one for now.
Rich,
Am I missing something? The MPEGStreamclip program seems to be able to put any of my Apple codecs inside of an AVI, but Windows on a Windows computer can’t play them and can’t find a codec to play them. I’m running Windows Media Encoder V9 on a Windows XP Pro PC. I can see the usefulness of the visually lossless PHotoJPEG codec if only I could make it work. Your insight is appreciated.

I took the Beta out of the output loop and went straight into a Sony PVM component monitor. It’s fine that way. The low-budget monitor hookup was the problem, although I couldn’t tell you exactly why. At any rate, this is more like the manual suggests it should be and it works. Thanks for confirming that there was definitely something amiss with the jury rigged method.
