<BR>
Very frustratingly, I seem to hit a brick wall with Miro Video Converter too. There is something clearly strange about the files Final Cut has made from my HDV tapes.<BR>
<BR>
Margaret Curew suggested that I try Quicktime Pro which I will try when Apple send me the application registration number. Somehow I thought it would be instant when you bought it online!<BR>

As I understand it for HDV the video stream is stored as mpeg2 and the audio stream is stored as mpeg1 layer 2. I don't know however if it was transcoded to other formats when you captured the file. Basically, Handbrake should be able to handle it just fine. Can you give us some more information about the actual encoding of the file?<BR>
<BR>
Also, is handbrake giving you any feedback on why it can't handle the files?<BR>
<BR>
I guess it's not a proper solution but you could also try Miro Video Converter, or FFMpegX.<BR>

I was wondering whether anyone had any advice on video compression.<BR>
<BR>
I have been using Handbrake on a Mac to compress .mov files (created by digitising DV tapes with Final Cut) into mp4 files. All was going well until I hit the .mov files which were created by digitising HDV tapes in Final Cut. I don’t know whether there is something funny about the High Def format??!!<BR>
<BR>
Does anyone know what might be going on here or if there is something I’m missing.<BR>
<BR>
Yours in desperation, <BR>
<BR>
