I have done this a million times. Import an uncompressed 8 bit quicktime that has been provided on a DVD (file only) but at the moment this workstation (mac pro 2 x 3ghz> 4 Gb RAM> Tiger 10.4.11> FCP 5.1.4> Quicktime 7.4 (92) stops during import saying task cannot completed - some written files are missing General error 36. Could this be due to a version of Quicktime?? Cheers again Phil UK
