I've got problems with Flip4mac. FCP6.0.3, newest Leopard Mac 2.0 double Processor PPC clean install, everything fine but the Flip4mac produces always 8% of the file and then it seems to work, but it doesn't make any work progress.
Any comments?

The only thing I can think of is that you may be using the "trial version" of flip4mac. This I think sets a limit of 15 seconds (could be wrong on length).
But I am running the same OS and FCP version on a xeon 8core with no troubles. Matter of fact, it works GREAT! I only use it for approval and review, but do not have any problems.
If you have paid for it, and aren't using the trial, I can only suggest the usual suspects, repair permissions, re-install OS & FCP & F4M (clean install). I know several people using f4m and what you are experiencing is not the norm.
stupid computers!
oh wait, I make my living off them....nice computer, nice computer!

That usually indicates that only the free version is installed, limited to only 30-seconds or so of encoding. You'll need to install the paid version of the plugin on your computer.

Flip 4 Mac doesn't like open areas in a sequence. In other words if you have a clip, then a space, then another clip it doesn't like that space unless there's a slug there. I had this problem recently.

Go to you system prefs. and look in the "Other" category. Click on the Flip for Mac icon, click the Upgrade tab and see if you serial number for the upgrade shows up. I had this problem after an OS update.
