You may want to take a look at the sample durations and timecodes in
Dumpster to check whether every frame/sample has the right
information. Also, a comparison of the same file when it works and
then maybe a frame or two more to when it does not work and again
compare those values.
Compressor may be more forgiving regarding the timescales and hence
it may be accepting these.

hello
we are rendering content as Quicktime, from our application
PulpMotion, and are consistently having the following problem when
we try to import those files in FCP: we get an import error with
'Unknown file' dialog (not very explicit by the way). If we drop
the file on the FCP icon in the doc, the error is somewhat more
explicit: 'Unsupported Frame Rate'. Typically, we work with
Quicktime content encoded as PhotoJPEG or Animation or
Uncompressed, with a framerate of 25, for PAL.
The really bizarre thing here, is that if we render a small file
(less than 10 secs say, not sure about the threshold)...it works:
FCP happily accepts the file. If we render a bigger file, using the
exact same settings, it produces an invalid file.
If we take those files to Compressor, and re-encode them in any
format, it works fine: the files become good citizens and are
accepted by FCP.
So the question is : what makes those files good...they look the
same, have the same tracks, the same settings when viewed in QT
Pro...but something makes them different. How can we make our
Quicktime files good citizens from the start when we encode them ?
Thank you for any help on that.
