Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Avid vs FCP P2 issues

yeah, i've used that one in the past. tricky with a spanned file i
guess, as it didn't seem to work this time. we're thinking corrupt p2
data, but just corrupt enough to confuse the avid and not fcp. when i
grab the clip in fcp and output it i get a file with the interlacing
issue, and bringing it into the avid makes it chatter like crazy - on
my plasma it's unwatchable.
