Today I deactivated Symphony 6.5.0.1, uninstalled it, then ran the installer for 6.5.2. At some point in the process, I got a computer kernel panic. I rebooted, ran the uninstaller again, then tried installing a second time. Another panic. I noticed I had both my wired network connection and my wireless network connection active, so I disabled the wireless

Here is how I do it: 1. Connect your camera to the computer via firewire (in times past, Avid wanted the builtin FW port all to itself, not sure if that is still true) 2. Turn on the camera, select VCR mode 3. Boot the computer 4. Open Avid 5. Settings -> Deck Config (I think that's the name), make sure you have 1394 as the channel (left side

Does anyone know if this upgrade has gone live yet, and if so, where do I go to purchase it? Thanks

Oh, I didn't realize there were "patches" to 4.0.5. I'll check them out, thanks.

I find myself with MC 4.0.5 running on OS X 10.6.3 and QuickTime 10.0. OS X 10.6.2 is the latest supported OS according to the README. Can I expect there to be a MC 4.0.6 now that MC 5 is out? If so, I can probably wait, but if not, then I may need to downgrade OS X, which is a painful process. I have experienced a few random crashes with my current

I think I have that same MacBook Pro. I have downloaded the trial version of MC 4 to it (I also have OS X 10.6.1 which is not a supported setup as of this writing). You have to get a firewire expresscard/34 adapter for your laptop so you have two firewire channels, the built-in one for external HDs and the expresscard firewire adapter for video. I don't
