Is the new driver safe?

[David Brier]

I tried installing version 5.0 in Tiger, and it simply did not work form me (FCP crashed at startup). I was told that, in fact, 5.0 is Leopard only, despite AJA’s claim to the contrary. I will wait to here if that’s changed for 5.1 (they still say Tiger compatible). I do like the sound of “improved Edit to tape frame accuracy in all interlaced formats”, although I’ve not run across this issue.

I have 5 up and running on Tiger.

What happened?

Here’s the old thread for reference:

But basically, after uninstsalling v 4 drivers, installing v5 drivers, and deleting prefs, Final Cut would crash on startup when it tried to load a Kona setup. Everytime. As you can see in the thread, I was told that it was not actually Tiger compatible. Any ideas?

MacPro 2.66 GHz Quad Core
12 GBs RAM
Internal SATA storage
Kona 3
FCP v 6.0.2
OS 10.4.11
Quicktime 7.3.1

AJA told me not to use version 5 with Tiger. They said stick with 4. Use v5 for Leopard.

Really? That’s weird. Guess I should revert.

I just spoke with AJA and apparently someone made a mistake. The v5 drivers are definitely Tiger compatible. i am running v5 on tiger on everything seems to be fine.

This is what tech support told me. They said if you are running Tiger stick to v4. I guess if depends on who you speak with.

Jeremy,

I was using the ver 5 drivers with Tiger too without any issues. Of course now that I’m a bleeding edge user I’m running Leopard, also without issues…

Can you think back to what QT version you were running on Tiger?
