There have been many people trying to import various types of video files into Final Cut Pro- H.264, MPEG1, Sorenson, AVI etc. Sometimes the clips might sputter through… but often, they’ll redline and not play at all- or even crash the program, and possibly corrupt your project file.
Download the free trial of dvcCast! to batch convert video files to DV or any other editing format.

This sounds good,, but is there any chance of a PAL version, in the forum, people are saying that this work for NTSC footage?
Great
2 questions…
1) If the QuickTime file has Video and Key tracks, will two DV files be created (Is there a way to configure a default naming convention for the dual DV exports)?
2) A PC version somehow, some where?
hello,
I want to know what kind of a/d converter i need for capturing VHS videos to my Mac Book with FCE
Thanks
Adolfo
Patrick, for uses more complex than a video/audio file (to preserve other tracks for example) it’s probably best to actually open Compressor and program it manually.
For PC, you can use many utilities, like ffmpeg for example…
Adolfo, you can use a DV camcorder, even a very inexpensive one like a Canon ZR.
Hi Josh,
I downloaded your app but it seems I’m doing something wrong. I got an .mpg file from the sony software that comes with the Handycam. Dumped it in the droplet and got this error in the Batch Monitor:
Status
Failed: 3x Can’t encode audio from MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 source
Any ideas how can I work this out?
Is there a PAL version of de video droplets available too, or is it still ntsc only ?
I love these.
Do they work with the new compressor from FCPS 2??
They should.
Still no go with these.
Has anyone else used these with compressor 3?
Try dvcCast! instead of the droplet.
