CatDV Crashing – Trial version or actual stability problem?

[Allan White]

Having just made the jump to Snow Leopard, I’d recommend running pretty much everything in 32-bit mode for the time being. There’s no real advantage to 64 bit unless you’re running more than say, 10GB of RAM anyway.

I forget how to set it permanently (you can hold down 3 and 2 when booting) but you could google that.

I’d second the recommendation to find an experienced integrator (bryson is one) to help figure out your workflow. CatDV is powerful and enormously flexible, and all those choices can make finding the right blend kind of overwhelming.

Switched to 32-bit and with Bryson’s help got a fully functioning trial version. Problem solved as it seems to be running beautifully! Now I’m just reading the manuals to see all the different features CatDV offers and how best to integrate it into my workflow … just happened to receive an unexpected check for $300 and take a wild guess where I’m going to invest that money 😉

Awesome product! Many, many thanks for the advice and help.
