View Full Version : Cryptic and useless error message in new FCP when making Blu-ray

I've gotten an error message that says "Share Error Quicktime 0" twice now when making a BD using the share function in the latest FCP. Of course, it waits until three hours into the encode before supplying this highly useful message. I already burned a BD and a BD on DVD with no problems.

I'm going to trash my FCP and compressor prefs and try it again, but if anyone has any other suggestions (short of wiping my system and reinstalling), I'm open to suggestions.

Well you are pretty much the first person (on dvinfo) to even try this let alone install FS3. Anyone else had success?

I'd suggest testing with a 10 second clip so you aren't waiting 3 hours to fail

I was getting the "Failed" message every time I used Share and Blu-Ray.

Download this: http://osx86tools.googlecode.com/files/OSX86Tools_1.0.150.zip

Once installed run, Repair Permissions. It will take some time. Restart after.

Fixed my issue.

Already ran a full hour disc with no problems. Ran a five minute chunk of this program with no problems.

Just wasted another 6 hour encode. Downloaded the OSX tools mentioned below. We'll see what happens.

Just wasted another seven hours.

No cryptic error message this time. Just counted down the first four hours, and spent the next 3 slowly counting up again. I think it said 18 minutes to go when I finally pulled the plug.

Export a QuickTime Reference from Sequence.
Quit FCP.
Open Compressor - Burn Blu-Ray in Compressor with ref file.
Maybe the frame counting in FCP is messing up your encode.

Everything is working again. I used FCP Remover (FCS Remover - Uninstall Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Pro, Motion, Compressor, Soundtrack Pro, Color, DVD Studio Pro, LiveType, Cinema Tools (http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcs_remover.htm)) to clean everything out and start fresh. I had installed the update over my FCS 1 files, so something somewhere must have been really unhappy with me.

Disregard the last post. The error is back. I guess I have to uninstall and reinstall the program every time I want to burn something.
