I exported a Final Cut Pro reference movie (DV) and tried to encode the file to MPG-1, but got the following error message:

Unknown input or output format: ppmpipe
## Component Manager: attempting to find symbols in a component alias of type (regR/carP/x!bt)

The encode failed. Thinking maybe it was because it was a Final Cut Pro reference file rather than a true QuickTime file, I converted the reference file to a self-contained QuickTime movie, but got the same error message as above.

In general, I think this app has a lot of potential (esp. for 15 bucks!) but it does seem a little quirky and inconsistent....

Any ideas on my problem?
