Oliver, could your minisequence still be labeled ProRes, because the very first clip in the very first V-layer is ProRes? I seem to recall a thread last year describing a similar issue (not with ProRes but with some other codec).
I bet if you transcode the sequence, it would work.
Current version is 6.0.1

I'm confused where is there a 6.0.3. I only see 6.0.1 at the download center. I also check the patch updates but don't see it. Is this a correct or a typo?

When I took CMX class in the summer of 83 it was 340X, edge and something else. I think the 600 might have been around but it was a little later I saw a 6000 demo in Hollywood. They did have the 340's in the lab controlling laser discs for some of the source media. Maybe Jim C remembers the proper chronology.

I have to disagree about editware. Not talking about the Fast Track of today but the GVG version we had at the Olympics that ultimately split off to become editware and was originally ISC, was very fast. Sony 9100's had some bells and whistles but for economy of keystrokes and PEGS I could move much faster than the guys on the 9100's for cranking out sports pieces at the Olympics. And for all the touting of the great motion match capabilities on the Sony editors when I hopped on one in Nagano and tried a 100% backwards match it missed. Of course the Brits I was working with said with preread they never used motion match anyways. From Alberville to Nagano I was on venues and smoked along with the GVG editors although I know the Broadcast Centers had mostly gone to Sony's I was fortunate to be in my GVG comfort zone for all my Olympics.

This wasn't a QT reference file. I took a single ProRes QT clip. Imported it as ProResMXF (native). Set the render settings in Avid to DNxHD, applied a crop and rendered the short sequence. Then exported "same as source", which resulted in a DNxHD self-contained QT file. The QT player inspector ID'ed it as DNxHD, but the video was black.
Evidently something is wrong in this path. My guess is that Avid is properly rendering to DNxHD, but the "same as source" flag on export is possibly set to ProRes, which would obviously confuse QT Player.
When I changed the render setting to ProRes (matching the ingested media), the "sas" export was good. Tests will all DNxHD media were fine.
- Oliver
Video mix downs solve most of these problems, they render much faster, and you can use qt ref. not perfect, but the faster render kind of absolves that...

Symphony 6.0.3 on Mac. If you have media that was natively ingested as ProRes and exists in the system as ProResMXF, you cannot render to DNxHD and export "same as source". The file is black and QT Player (X or 7) can't play it. Here's a matrix of what happens:
ProRes QT - ingested as ProRes MXF / rendered to ProRes /exported "sas" - video OK and QT Player plays it.
ProRes QT - ingested as ProRes MXF / rendered to DNxHD /exported "sas" - video black and QT Player seems no video (even with a single clip).
DNxHD QT - ingested as DNxHD MXF / rendered to DNxHD /exported "sas" - video OK and QT Player plays it.
So it looks like you either have to stay ProRes all the way or DNxHD all the way, but mixing codecs messes up the export.

I'm using a Samsung SE-506 External Slim Blu-ray Writer, which is
working fine so far, writing both data and playable blu-ray disks. It
is actually advertised as working with OSX, which seems to be a less
than common feature.
My only real complaint is it has no option for DC power, which means it
has to tie up two USB ports, and the USB Y-cable is quite short, which
limits placement. The disk tray seems a bit flimsy, but time will tell
how durable it is.
Cheers,

Hi Perrone,
yep, Toast is still THE burner app on the Mac. See here:
http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/default.html?rTrack=m_pro_toast
Don't know exactly about the current version but when we bought Toast 10 we had to buy the "BD/HD"-Plugin separately to be able to burn videos to Blu-ray.
According to the Roxio website Toast 11 burns Blu-ray - so you should be fine with this.
They still have a BD-Plugin and if I understand correctly you need it only if you have a movie file and want a video BD. See here:
http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/plugin/overview.html
Check to see if you need it really or buy Toast 11 Pro if money doesn't matter!
Well, BD-burners..
About half a year ago we tested several BD burners from HP, LG, Pioneer and Plextor as we have 20+ Avid & FCP Systems. All Burners works well, non was bad, but the HPs & Plextors performed best. We noticed differeces especially when reading from discs, but don't remember details.
And well, it's too bad that there's no way to playback a Video BD on a Mac besides using Bootcamp or Parallels. Even Toast (at least v10) can only write to BD - or did I miss something here?
Internal or external BD drive?
Usually the second bay for optical drives in your Mac Pro is empty so you can put the BD burner in there. But make sure to remove the bezel from the tray so that it works with the Mac Pro's drive doors!
If you want to have it in an external box get a FW800 5,25" housing and you'll be fine. Of course eSATA and USB 3.0 are also options, but not as easy as FW800 for current Macs.
HTH,
Ben
