Now using a simple shell script I get actual OS language and can select the correct name for the basic cluster ('defaults read NSGlobalDomain AppleLanguages'). The only little problem I see is that you can change the language, log out, then log in with new language and the cluster name won't switch within Compressor/Batch Monitor/Qmaster. You finally have to reboot to make language switching for these apps really happen. But as said - minor problem. Andreas, I'm not positive if this will work, but you might try this: When you ask the system for a localized string, you generally tell it to pull the localized key from a particular bundle. You might be able to get what you want by doing something like the following (written in email, and not ever compiled - so might need some tweaks) : CFBundleRef jobControlBundle = CFBundleGetBundleWithIdentifier (CFSTR("com.apple.qmaster.JobControl")); CFStringRef localizedThisComputer = CFSTR ("This Computer"); if (jobControlBundle != nil) { localizedThisComputer = CFBundleCopyLocalizedString (jobControlBundle, localizedThisComputer, localizedThisComputer, nil); } Darrin This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

This works fine as long the OS is US English and the installation of FCS is English as well. So if there would be a way to figure out how "This Computer" is called on different installations it would be great. If there is no way I can still create a text field in the app where the user has to type in the current "This Computer" in his language - but a popup or even automatic detection would be much more elegant. Is there somebody out there who got all language matches for "This Computer". That would save me some time - I don't have to re-start the machine for every language then. Andreas, What are you trying to do? It could be that there's an easier way to do what you want. For example, maybe there already exists a system message or string that you can use. Can you explain what you're trying to do? This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

It's like often you may need it or not. It works like an index in a data base to reference things. It's always a good idea to have them, but sometimes it it could be a pain and after you looked thru your XML structure and the purpose of your app you may may see you don't need them at all or not here or not there but somewhere else. You do not need to handle it in that way FCP handles indices, you can take any way as long as they make sense. A good example where the index really helps is multi clip handling. Would be a long story - and it's late in the night here. Give me a call. I am wondering about the clipindex element in FCP XMLs. What is it used for? Can anyone shed some light, please?

We have a capture app that creates DV .mov files which play just fine in FCP but if you use media manager to trim unused media from them the audio track is silently removed, with no errors reported. Sounds like it's creating a .dv multiplexed stream inside a QT mov. QT (and FCP) don't deal elegantly with multiplexed files. Best advice would be to convert form the multiplexed dv stream into a more "normal" dv video track, dv audio track and the TC track, rather than the one multiplexed track. No, it's a regular QT movie with a DV - PAL video track, an Uncompressed stereo audio track, and a timecode track. It's just not one created by Final Cut. I can imagine the media might be interleaved differently but it should still be a perfectly normal .mov file. This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com
