FCP5 MPEG2 Export Hack Update

New update on the FCP5 MPEG2 Export Hack. I’ve uploaded a DIFFERENT QT component that is the actual export module. Again, once downloading, install the entire component folder in Machintosh HD>System>Library>QuickTime.

This has worked on most every machine I’ve tried it on. Click on the picture below to download the zipped QTMPEGExport.component, or see the original post for more details.

STILL TROUBLESHOOTING

This hack WILL add the MPEG2 option to your FCP5 export menu (and hopefully troublefree MPEG2 exporting), but some users are receiving this following error upon export.

Readers: Any thoughts?

Thanks to Jimmie and Eric at Post Modern for continued help in cracking this hack.

    I think we need to install the old DVD Studio 3 version for this hack to work. . . .
    Is this true?
    Where can we get this software?

    Just upgraded to Final Cut Studio 2 (because of FCP 6) and also lost MPEG2-Export.
    Finally got it working again. The key is that you must have a “correct” DVD Studio 3 (or DVD Studio 2) installation. With this software the “QTMPEGExport.component” came and it expects a correct serial number in “/Library/Application/Support/ProApps/DVD Studio Pro System ID”. In my case the update to DVD Studio Pro removed the necessary keys from the file mentioned above. I copied the missing keys from a backup version of the file and now everything works.
