Bitjazz out of business?
Help! Anybody know what happened to bitjazz? I went to their website to download a version of sheer video for my new G5, can’t download anything!
Are they out of business?that’ll teach me to store my .dmg files in a folder somewhere, instead of deleting them from my desktop.

FYI if you have the sheer video codec installed, FCP 5.1.2 will not launch, so be careful if you plan to upgrade

No, BitJazz is definitely not out of business. I apologize for the brief disappearance of our website. We had just finished a complete redesign of our website and switched to a new webhost to provide the expanded services we needed, when the new webhost was sold to a company that outsourced all technical support to an inexperienced offshore company that failed to get our website up, so we had to scramble to find another new webhost, and were offline for a few days.
Since then, we have launched the Mac Intel and Mac Universal Binary editions of SheerVideo, as well as number of minor releases, and are close to launching SheerVideo AVI for Windows PC.

This was a known problem with Final Cut Pro 5.1.2 and QuickTime 7.1.2, due to a hardwired limit in the number (64) of codecs they could handle. This problem had nothing directly to do with SheerVideo, but because SheerVideo Pro itself contains 8 encoders, 8 decoders, and 5 transcoders, it often showed up when installing SheerVideo. Fortunately, this bug was fixed in Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 and QuickTime 7.1.5.
