Sorry… I was being stupid.

I’m all for testing and I love testing… I test everyday…. BUT,
as I wrote in the first psot, the same export gave me three different result… so my tests have failed, and I wanted to know if someone know something that is certain. thanks for your help though 🙂

thanks for your answer, doesn’t give me much hope though 🙂
I’m using FCP5 and the Compressor. I don’t even have the DVD studio pro. the thing is that I need to find out if there’s maybe a parameter I’m missing while exporting the HDV to DV that will assure me it’s exports in 16:9. I can’t stand uncertainty…

p.s. how can I translate your test with the quad to a G4 powerbook ? how long would it take me to export an hour long sequence straight down to a DVD ?

Firdt of, thank you for your answers…
second, the files where never offline, and I don’t think this has nothing to do with the audio.
even with one audio track it playsback stuttering, even when I turn of the video playback. it only plays right if I have audio+video together playing at the same time. doesn’t matter if the audio source is from external drive or internal… just strange. oh… and the audio plays fine in the viewer window if I have it there, it’s just doesn’t on the timeline.
