Important Notes for Avid Xpress DV 4.8.1 (Macintosh) Customers
- Avid Xpress DV 4.8.1 requires Mac OS X 10.4.2. Mac OS X 10.3.x is not supported.
- Avid Xpress DV v4.8.1 requires QuickTime 7.0.1. QuickTime 6.x is not supported with Tiger.
- When exporting QuickTime movies from the editor with the "Same as Source" option selected, customers will experience longer export times with QuickTime 7.0.1 compared to previous versions. This is due to changes within Apple's QuickTime 7.0.1 causing the media to go through an extra recompress stage. This issue is expected to be fixed in the future. In the meantime, Avid recommends the following workaround: Export as QuickTime Reference, then open the movie in QuickTime Player Pro (purchased separately) and save it as a 'self-contained' movie.
