Nicky,
This thread might help (you'll have to make it past the sarcastic answers
first): https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2117202?start=0&tstart=0
If that is not the problem, you might try using MPEG streamclip or another
program instead of Compressor.
GENE - I would suggest using Compressor or MPEG streamclip and converting your
MP2 files to quicktime files in the DV/DVCPro - NTSC codec if you're planning
on keeping the project in SD. No need to take up storage space with ProRes422
unless you need the resolution.

Subject: Re: [Frameworks] mpeg-2
I also have some MP4 files that I want to convert to DV for editing in FCP.
When I use Compressor I choose MP4 and the file I want to transcode, but when I
press "Submit" I get the following message: "One or more jobs do not have a
source media file assigned". Dunno what to do,
Please can you help,
Thanks,
Nicky.

as far as my knowledge of FCP goes, this software does not like compressed
files. it works well with apple's codecs, the best of them being AppleProRes422
or AppleProRes422(HQ). “HQ” stands for high quality. it has double the bitrate
of the non-hq format, and weighs double in terms of file size. if you convert
from mpeg-2 which is a compressed format it is useless to use HQ. to convert
from MPEG-2 to AppleProRes422 use apple compressor or the free app MPEG
streamclip. apple compressor might already be in your computer as it is part of
the apple editing suite comprising FCP. it is pretty forward to use. open the
file you want to transcode, choose the output format and the output
destination, and run the program. likewise for MPEG streamclip.
best,
marco

FCP will accept? I’m not personally doing this, my assistant is, and she’s
learning. So us novices will appreciate your advice.
