Export Audio to movie causes loud static

Hello,

If I import a movie (.mov) file into Logic pro 9, add some extra music tracks and then try to "export audio to movie" to my desktop, when I open the exported file in quicktime player I get horrible static. I am also running Logic in 32bit mode.

Just on accident I found that if I export the file to my SDCH card that i use for my Canon T3i camera and not to my Desktop the file opens fine, I hear the extra tracks I added and the actual audio of the original file.

Can anyone explain why I can't export the file to my desktop without the file opening with static?

Just for a bit more information, I can also export to a jump drive with no problem. Does the the way my hard drive is formatted have anything to do with this feature?

Computer specs:

MacBook Pro

2.4 Ghz Intel Core i7

4 GB 1333 Hz DDR3

Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB graphics

750 GB SATA Disk

Jump Drive: MS-DOS (fat32)

SDCH crad: MS-DOS (fats32)

Mac HD: Mac OS Extended (Journaled)

Thanks

What is really odd is the Jump Drive and Secure Digital card are both formatted Fat32 MS-DOS, while your Mac drive is formatted (correctly) as Mac OS Extended.

Go back to your original formatting... what happens if you move the noisy file from your desktop to the jump drive and play it from there, is there still static, if so that eliminates a playback problem and places it on the record function. Best to narrow things down.

De-Select Floating point and set the sample size to 16, leave everything else the same.
