That's good to know. I'll definitely try that out.

In this case, I just answered my own question by taking it into FCP7 and running it through my Matrox MXO2 LE. Rock solid and looks great. All of the shakiness I see in QT player (and to a lesser extent in AE) went away.

Not sure why this is so since FCP is based on QT as well.

Thanks,

James
