How do I export when FCP keeps crashing for large QuickTime exports?

Forum,
I have a 108-minute finished Final Cut Pro project. Ultimately, I'd like to burn it on a DVD so that it can be watched by any Joe-Schmoe using an ordinary DVD player. I'll be using DVD Studio Pro to do the burning. And before this, I plan to compress using Apple Compressor.
But...
I can't export this file to QuickTime! FCP keeps CRASHING about halfway through the process. I'm preserving the Current Settings, which, by the way, are XDCAM EX 1080p24 VBR.
I have four internal hard drives used as follows:
D1 OSX and FCP
D2 audio media
D3 visual media
D4 location of FCP files and scratch disk
I also have a MyBook USB2.0 external drive available should this be of use.
Any suggestions for a viable workflow here? Should I be exporting to QuickTime first? Is my configuration doomed? Should I export straight to Compressor?
thanks,
Shanked

Is there a way to do this WITHOUT your suggested software?
Sure, but its very manual and the Corrupt Clip Finder really just automates that for you ... but I get your point about keeping things clean and can't fault that philosophy.
First, you can use the Tools > Render Manager to delete all the sequence's render files and references. Then just play through the entire sequence (in the sequence RT menu you can enable the option to Play Base Layer Only). If the corruption was in one of the render files then you should now be able to play through without issue. If the corruption is in one of the clips then you should discover that FCP will crash or throw up an error when it tries to play though that clip ... keep a note of where this error occurs as thats your corrupt clip. Similarly, after trashing renders you can re-render, keep an eye on the render progress ... the error will be thrown proportionate to the area of the timeline where the corrupt source clip is contained. Additionally, yes, you can use the Reconnect Media function to selectively reconnect your source media to your masterclips, clip by clip ... the one that won't reconnect is going to be the problem child. That's the one you need to recapture/reimport from source.
Hope it helps

How to identity segment when to setup partition for large table?

I have a table with size is about 3G. There is a code column in this table with distinguish 20 value. I am try to create list partition on this column. How can I assign segment for different value for this partition?In my database, only less than 10 segments available. If I want the better performance, each partition should be on different segment or different device? Sould each sement have enough size to hold all data? what happen if the segment is smaller? for example, if I honly have 4 sgements each with 500M?
If I remove or change the strategy of partition, for example, change the type to range, if the system can release the partitions on segment automatically?

This section of the performance and tuning guide addresses all of these concerns. Give it a good read and post questions that you have about the documentation:

FCP keeps crashing when loading thumbnails from bin

Hey folks,
I am having constant issues where FCP keeps crashing when I load a bin with thumbnails. This doesn't happen every time I open a bin, but after I open say 6 or 7 bins. After the research I have done I have come to a couple of possible solutions 1= this previous post
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9545404#9545404
The only thing that is stopping me from trying this procedure is I don't have another Mac with the VADriver, so I have to extract it from the OS DVD, which is fine thanks to the Pacifist program which makes it easier, but I don't know how to get the specific file extracted.
I also noticed that the guy who solved the same issue with this procedure has an older OS to mine, so surely with the new OS the problem would have been resolved??
2= the other solution seems to be to put the footage onto a hard drive with a faster connection other than firewire 800. But this doesn't seem right to me because the project worked perfectly fine on the old PowerPC Mac using the same external FW800 drives I am using on this computer.
I would appreciate any advice. at this point I am probably wasting around 1-2 hours a day with FCP crashing and having to reopen the project to work on it again.
Anyone having similar issues?

Here's what the fabulous Crash Analyzer says about it:
*MPEG Media*
This crash appears to have been caused by MPEG media (or MPEG-derived media such as XDCAM, HDV or H.264) in the timeline. MPEG-based media is not recommended for editing in Final Cut Pro.
*Suggested Actions*
Set the codec of your sequence to ProRes in Sequence Settings.
Alternatively, and for best results, transcode any HDV, MPEG-2, XDCAM, AVCHD, H.264 or other long-GOP media into an editing-friendly format such as ProRes or Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC).

FCP keeps crashing EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)

Good morning all,
Our FCP keeps crashing. Usually during scrubbing or trimming. But sometimes also out of the blue. First the image kinda jitters and then FCP crashes.
We reinstalled FCP, reinstalled MacOSX, updated all drivers and whatnot.
Still keeps crashing, could it be the new RAM we put in?
We have our footage on a striped RAID. In this case it's XDCam footage, but we had the same with Prores files.
Any help or suggestions would be great.
Here's the crash report, if anyone can make sense out of that:

Oooo! I can! Because I have CRASH ANALYZER from www.digitalrebellion.com.
"QuickTime"
This crash was caused by QuickTime.
Possible causes include corrupt media, corrupt render files, an unsupported or unstable codec, an image resolution that is too large (this is particularly a problem with Motion as image sizes are limited by the maximum texture size of your graphics card), or a version of QuickTime that is incompatible with your version of Final Cut Studio.
If the crash is happening at startup and you have not set any projects to launch when the application starts, it is likely that you have a mismatched version of QuickTime.
Suggested Actions
Use the Render Manager in Final Cut Pro to trash your render files.
Use the Corrupt Clip Finder to locate the problematic clip and then recapture or attempt to repair it.
If the issue is related to a codec, upgrade the codec if an upgrade is available or consider transcoding your footage to an editing-friendly codec such as ProRes.
If you are using CMYK images, convert them to RGB.
Upgrade Final Cut Pro to bring it in line with your version of QuickTime.

My iMovie 8.0.6 keeps crashing for no reason!!! Help!!!

My iMovie 8.0.6 keeps crashing for no reason!!! Help!!! I have verified the version is up to date and never had this problem before. I deleted all of my other projects. Don't know how to fix this but it's driving me nuts and the program keeps closing out of nowhere!! How do I fix this??

Hi
No Quick Fix - only my Trouble shooting notes
Trouble-shooting guide
When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
First try: Start iMovie - BUT keep - Shift-key down during full Up-Start - might help.
Pref and Cache files:
iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
Creating a new User-Account and log into this
This forces iMovie to create all pref. and cache files new and error free
Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
a Codec is used that doesn't work (even though iMovie and/or iDVD tries to / they fail in the end)
version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext. HD or DVD)
External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
USB-flash-memories - usually do not work
Net-work connected hard disks - usually do not work (most often not fast enough and WRONGLY FORMATTED as DOS etc.)
iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie. When iMovie starts-up it first look trough this iPhoto library and if faulty it all Halt’s.
This You do by
First - close iPhoto
Secondly - on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
Thirdly - now select all five options presented
THEN - WAIT a long long time (>20 hours are not strange)
free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
Screen must be set to million-colors
Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc. - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
(I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)
buenrodri wrote
I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
Last resort:
Trash all of iMovie and re-install it
Yours Bengt W

Satellite L645 keeps crashing for no apparent reasons

L645 keeps crashing for no apparent reasons. Sent to service centre and they could not find out what was causing it.
HELP!

Do you run any special applications while the system crashes?
How about memory module check?
I guess the service guys could not find any issues because they could not replicate this issue
I guess the notebook crashes sometimes and its not easy to replicate this right?

Keeps crashing for about 10 secs and then starts to work. sort it out firfox. Send us a new update! moving to chrome in meantime

Thanks for your effort John, and you are right not everyone is experiencing this problem but a sh*t load of people are. and it seems to be an on going thing.
Managed to find this link where someone had the same problem.'Firefox not responding for 10-15secs' where 3362 people have reported to have the same issue.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/767246?page=2
From what i can see firefox themselves have not acknowledged this problem and there doesn't seem to be a solution unless your a computer genius with some time on your hands to experiment and fiddle around.
Unfortunately I'm just an average dumb ass, so looks like I'm going to have to migrate over to chrome for good.
Thanks anyway

how do you stop my iphone keep asking for my works proxy server name and password

Having been in IT for close to 30 years what they actually thought was, "whether you can connect your phone to our network isn't out problem, please go away".
They don't want to troubleshoot it. And, honestly, if it's your personal phone, they shouldn't have to. it's not their problem unless their boss says it is.

FCP keeps crashing

I'm editing my first feature-length film (just under 2 hours) on a Mac Pro with a 2x3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor and OSX 10.4.11. I'm using Final Cut Pro 6.0.2, and I have a complete rough cut of the movie done. But now Final Cut keeps on "quitting unexpectedly". Sometimes it happens when I try to move large sections of the movie all at once, sometimes it's when I open a sequence and the thumbnail pictures at the start of each clip are loading, sometimes it's when I'm moving a clip, and sometimes it's when it's just playing the movie. Also, whenever I try to export the whole movie as a quicktime file or compress it using Compressor, FCP always quits before the exporting/compressing finishes. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

What's your work flow?
Are you editing to a dedicated media drive? What is it? Where is it?
When's the last time FCP functioned correctly?
Did you already try trashing preferences and repairing permissions?
What version of QT are you running?
Have you downloaded any software updates lately?

So how is it fire fox keeps crashing for everyone but the firefox team. are you guys using Chrome or something?

Firefox 36.0.1
So firefox keeps crashing on youtube, Facebook, Brainjet, Answers.com. It's often sites that have either forums or auto start videos.
YET I keep seeing you guys asking for some "Error codes" as if you've NEVER had that problem. So how about this. Instead of assuming that my NON-ADD ON version is the corrupted puppy, tell us what in god's name you guys use.
Chrome, Safari, IE? there's no way in hell you're using Facebook, Youtube, things that use flash and NOT seeing the crash. So every time you guys ask us for those codes you're lying and hiding the fact that it also happens to you, or you're using something where it doesn't happen.
I'm amazed that if I open up 3 or 4 windows, sometimes 2 Facebook, a youtube. and something that has comments section, I'm getting this thing locking up and all the research I was doing is wasted where I have to start again.
So… Don't ask me for any codes. Just tell me what you're using because obviously it's NOT crashing. Frankly I'm shocked so many people keep having the same problems but not one of you guys seem to experience it. I'm beginning to doubt this "surprise" error stuff.

To be fair, I use a heavily modded version of Fx and my only complaint is memory leakage (starts 450,000K with a few tabs open, flash, etc. and gets up to 1,400,000K even if new tab page is the only thing open). That's probably a plugin issue for me though.
Usually when Fx crashes it pops up with the crash report menu. You should be able to find some more info about the crash there. It could be a corrupt Fx file, a problem with the JIT compiler, your video card drivers, or even your computer hardware like faulty RAM.
This help page also mentions a few common causes and how to fix them:
