Don't have a solution but a different workflow suggestion. Export a QT ref out of Avid and use Sorenson or QT Pro etc... to make the H.264. IIRC H.264 is not a strong point when exporting from Avid. This will also allow you to keep working in Avid while the file is processed in the background. Or just output to tape with your final project. After all isn"t tape delivery the way God, or your higher power, intended things to be? I think all our collective file based hell is coming from the other guy. ;-) You know the one who sleeps with Saddam H. on South Park!

When I then cancelled out of that dialogue, for some reason I was now able to make a single export. After that point, further attempts to export resulted in the same "Movie Export Failed" error.
