Media Manager doesn't work anymore

Question

When I'm capturing and logging footage, Media Manager is part of my work flow. I capture the entire tape, then use the DV Start/Stop detect function to make subclips. Then I use Media Manager to create smaller versions of the subclips. I I log and archive the newly created compressed clips, and use them for edits.
But now with FCP 5.0.2, Media Manager doesn't work like it used to. The end result of outputting the subclips is one large clip. If I output half of them at a clip (1,3,5,7,9,etc.) and then go back and do the rest (2,4,6,8,10,...) it works. But what a pain. I've tried every variation of settings. Nothing make a difference.
What gives?
Also, the subclips all now have the first frame of the next clip stuck on the end. That's not Media Manager, it happens before. But it is not cool.
Anyone having similar problems, and any solutions?

Answer 1

Tom,
Here is the process:
Capture the entire DV tape as one long clip.
Use DV Start/Stop detection to create markers. (This results in that extra last frame from the beginning of the next clip.)
Make subclips from the markers.
Select subclips and go to Media Manager
Use Media Manager to Recompress
-Recompress media using OfflineRT NTSC (Photo JPEG)
-Delete unused media from selected clips.
-No handles (I want the clip as it was on the tape)
-Base media file names on clip names
-Select a media destination
And off it goes.
Instead of creating individual clips (at the slected location) it makes one long clip, like the source just smaller because it is now compressed.
In earlier version of FCP this worked. Something has changed in version 5.
I can trick the Media Manager by selecting every other subclip, outputting, and then going back and selecting the rest. But that is twice the work. And I still have those darn extra frames at the end of the clips.
Any ideas. (I have already done the Quicktime repair listed in many other threads.)
