Shaun,

It’s a challenge. Hard gear can’t function w/t the soft gear. Solution must be somewhere or there’d be no problem.

One day we won’t need any upgrades as hard & soft gears will merge and will be sold as one.

Thanks all.

Shaun,

Yeah it does the same exact thing that you describe. Is it really MB or the MacBook Pro? Please let me know any new updates or findings.

Did anyone else have any problem like this?

Thanks for all the help

Hi Rafael,

Yeah, DW does say the same thing Apple’s Disk Utility does and even though they both report “repaired” and when I run them again, the same things come out. Apple Guys said that I shouldn’t worry because that “Java” thing is just for internet purposes.

I deleted them all now… including the SUID’s, which can’t be modified. And the DU & DW don’t report any differences anymore.

Funny that Apple comes up with all these updates just to get things messed up every regular fellas…

And MB Looks still acts pretty weird. If you’ve never had any problem with MB, then it must have some disagreement with the new MacBook Pro. Ironically sometimes FC opens but only one of the three projects in the Timeline Sequence and doesn’t even show that and when clicked to see it displayed it says “System low on Memory”. That can’t be true but then how can a machine lie? Can someone help me figure this s**t out. Makes me doubt the beauty of Apple now. Thanks.

Rafael,

Yeah the system is a mess after the upgrade of Snow Leopard for the mid-2010 new MacBook Pro (15″ & 17″). I use DiskWarrior 4.2 and it still leaves about six items three of which are the SUIDs as below:

Permissions differ on “System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Deploy.bundle/Contents/Resources/JavaPluginCocoa.bundle/Contents/Resources/Java/deploy.jar”, should be lrwxr-xr-x , they are lrw-r–r– .

Permissions differ on “System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Resources/JavaPluginCocoa.bundle/Contents/Resources/Java/deploy.jar”, should be -rw-r–r– , they are lrwxr-xr-x .

Permissions differ on “System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Resources/JavaPluginCocoa.bundle/Contents/Resources/Java/libdeploy.jnilib”, should be -rwxr-xr-x , they are lrwxr-xr-x .

Warning: SUID file “Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access.app/Contents/Resources/kcproxy” has been modified and will not be repaired.

Warning: SUID file “usr/libexec/authopen” has been modified and will not be repaired.

Warning: SUID file “usr/libexec/security_authtrampoline” has been modified and will not be repaired.

I spoke with APPLE and they said I shouldn’t worry about that. But FCP still takes time to open and then quits after a while on the long project while it opens pretty fast and doesn’t quit on the short project. Any idea why it does this. The Apple guys suggested that I should delete the Preferences, which I’ve already done thanks to the suggestions posted here. Thanks.

Andy,

I tried to work with FCP’s COLOR but when I try to test/check the COLOR by opening it, I get this prompt:
Color recommends a screen resolution of 1680×1050; this system currently has a screen resolution of 1440×900.

There must be a way to fix the color resolution of the new MacBook Pro 15″ iCore 5. I went into the DISPLAY in the System Preferences and the display shows only 1440×900. Do I need to calibrate the color? But the screen color looks fine… even though when purchased in April it looked much much brighter. Thanks.

Jeremy,
I think I’ll have to contact MB Looks if I don’t solve the problem by tomorrow.

The problem still persists. MB Looks definitely causes FCP 7 on intel MacBook Pro to quit sometimes at Launch or sometimes after working on the Timeline Sequence for a while. The Timeline project is about 1hr and 45min but there are so many other projects within that projects in BIN folders but only 2 other projects are open. Do you think breaking the projects into shorter sequences and saving them separately might help? But the final movie will still have to come together. It’s a 90-minute feature. Why does FCP take so long (more than 10-min to open the long project while it opens the short projects in a jiff? Did anyone ever encounter this problem?

Thank you all again. Any advice or suggestion is really appreciated. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.

The Project file is 311.3 mb on an external 4 TB Disk. Ironically for the last hour or so it didn’t crush, but I’m afraid it might do so once I start doing some complex cutting with the frames such as superimposing one on top of the other and shortening one of them.

Appreciate all the help.

Thanks

The new MacBook Pro with the i5 core comes with 5400 rpm but I got a 7200 rpm installed and the RAM that mac comes with is 4GB. And believe it or not sometimes when I open a final cut file, a 90min timeline, it doesn’t display the video and when I doubleclick on it to see it displayed, I got this prompt one or another of this: Out Of Memory, system low or out of memory. Isn’t a 4gb RAM enough? Thanks

[Zeyat Aden]

Thanks for the prompt answer:

1. Yeah it is a FW800
2. Nothing else is in the the bus. Got Speakers connected to the laptop through the headphone slot.
3. Ext HD is formatted for Mac OS Extended. It’s the new 4TB WD, which is already formatted for it. But I made sure it was…
Space on the Int HD is 500GB and and about 350GB is available.
4. Crush occurs when I’m working on editing the timeline, moving frames with the Selection Tool.
5. Yes. Did install clean OS and FCP.

Ironically this constant crush (once in every hour at least) did not occur in FCP 6.

My footage is in HDV 24fps (from Canon XH1)

What do you think?

Thanks a mil

Hello there,

Please. Emergency. I have followed the above suggestions. And I get less than 4gigs file. Import into DVDSP. Create the DVD and burn it. It plays on apple computers, but I try this DVD Players and it doesn’t play. I read about DVD STUDIO Pro on Apple’s site and it says that UDF disks don’t play on most of DVD players.

The problem is, my original footage has been shot on HDV (Canon) and even when Compressor has shrunk big size (over 19gigs for 1hr 37min footage) into a small size with an MPEG, it seems that the footage is still HDV and hence the reason for DVDSP encoding the disk with UDF 2.5 (Universal Disk Format). What am I doing wrong here? What should I do? Please HELP!

Thanks.
Zeyat

[Zeyat Aden]

This is unfortunate. A resolution of 720×480. Wow! How does the footage? I guess I’ll have to see. And what if I want to burn an HD? Doesn’t DVDS have an HD tab? Appreciate all the help. Thanks.

[Zeyat Aden]

I’m exporting a 97-min movie shot on HDV in HDV, 24fps, into a Quicktime. And the result of the export is 19 plus gigs with these dimensions: 1920×1080. So does that still mean that I should export using Quicktime conversion and then compression? Do I not lose any resolution? Thanks – Z
