Ok, upload the modified installer.
From what I’ve read here, in the forum you posted, they are saying that pacifist is the wrong way to go and xcode is the best way to install FCS3… Is that how you got it running?
-
kind of, but without x-code
can u give me your e/mail so i can send you the downloadlink
and please allow me a few days -
Thanks again, I appreciate the time. cjtowner@yahoo.com

I see a lot of smug derision at people trying to tinker with their machines, but not much help in this thread.
Here’s how it looks from my end:
“Can’t I use FCS3 on my G5?”
“Nope, won’t work. Must be intel”
“Why not?”
“Won’t work.”
“I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.”
“No intel, no worky. Unsupported. No codecs. blahblah”
“Well, that’s odd, it works for me.”
“You’ve just hacked it to install. It won’t actually work. Why don’t you just upgrade your entire server farm, or just use FCP2”
“Because I choose to try instead of just forking over thousands of dollars, and clearly others would like to do the same.”
“Whatever, this and that won’t work.”
“No, they do work. I just tried them.”
“Well, I know (like Shane is on the dev team over at Apple) it wasn’t tested.”
“It works fine.”
“Well, don’t ask us for help.”
What a bunch of snide pr1cks.
Listen, what’s it to you if people want to tinker with the machines they spent so much money on, only to be, quite frankly, left obsolete for no good reason? If you don’t want to help, don’t post, but don’t poo-poo on people trying.
If your workflow is viable, then you can pick up a steal of a deal on an older machine and still work. Isn’t that what it’s about? Could you get the same stuff done with FCS2? Mostly, but that’s not the point of a thread titled Final Cut Pro on a PowerPC.

Hi Ben.
What graphics card model do you have installed on your mac pro g5 for FCP 7?
Thks!

I believe it is the nVidia GeForce 6800 Ultra with 256mb VRAM. Last AGP model.
While i’m here, i’d just like to mention that even today we still maintain a couple of the Power Mac G5s we forced FCP7 on, and never once had a problem with them. In fact they performed better than some of our first generation Intel models in a lot of areas 🙂
