1.  I converted a 1:37 long home video VHS tape to DVD with my Sony DVD/VHS 
dubbing deck.  

2.  Tested perfect in my DVD player, or my computer's DVD player.

3.  I then converted the DVD video to a m4v file on my desktop with Handbrake.
    (Last time I will ever use Handbrake on my G4 PowerBook for anything longer 
than 5 min.)

4.  Tried to import into my Final Cut Pro v6 and got an error message (can't 
remember exact words).

The m4v file plays fine through iTunes v10.6.1, or with Quicktime Player v7.7, 
but it will not import into my educational copy of Final Cut Studio 2 with it's 
included Final Cut Pro v6.

Since the educational copy of Final Cut Studio 2 is supposed to be exactly the 
same as the full version, with the one exception that it can never be upgraded, 
I can't figure out why my file is not importing into Final Cut Pro v6.  Any 
ideas? I am a complete Noob with Final Cut of any flavor, or any video editing 
program on the Mac, except a test video with iMovie, but I want to get started, 
so I purchased my Final Cut Studio 2 and now have about 1,200 pages of reading 
to do.  Any help from users already familiar with Final Cut Pro would be 
appreciated.
