Re: General Error (88)

I've done extensive debugging attempts and still have not solved the problem.

I did the whole shut down, reset, restart, classic stuff etc...

I'm suspecting some sort of corruption somewhere. Here is where I'm at.

Open the sequence of Ep. 1. Everything works fine. Open Ep.2 and Ep.3, both give me the error 88. Try Ep.1 again without changing parameters. Ep.1 outputs fine.

Make new sequence. Put bars and random media clips in it,outputs fine. Try Ep.2 & Ep.3 again, Error 88.

Copy and paste the content of Ep.2 sequence in working new sequence, error 88.

1000 Variations on that concept concludes that new sequences and Ep.1 work fine. Any content from Ep.2 & 3 in a working timeline generates an error 88.

I even sliced down a problematic timeline to attempt to isolate the corrupted item and timeline would only output when only color bars remained.

No real progress.

As a bypass solution I exported Ep.2 & 3 as quicktime and used the Quicktimes for output in a new sequence.

I got my shows to tape, but I have not solved the real problem.

If anybody from Apple is on here, could you contribute in pointing us in the right direction?

Thanks.
