QuickTime 7.6 Resolves Issue with Media 100 i and MJPEG B Codecs

[Wickham Strub]

Good point Floh (DAMN he’s good). Unfortunately, it’s a scenario I am completely unable to test right now. Anyone out there successfully running the following config:

– OS 10.4.11
– QT 7.6
– M100 v12.1.3

or perhaps and even older setup?

Ok then, back to 7.5. I had tried the “create a new project and bring the bins in” solution this morning to find that it didn’t work, and I was hoping someone had something else to try. Ah well- thanks for the input guys, and I appreciate your attempts to solve the problem.

I’m right there with you guys. The boss won’t replace a system that works! So BACK to 7.5 for me too!

Would appreciate Wickham casting magic hand over my query! Have had Med 100 for 10 years, now have G5 OS 10.4.11 Media 100HDe vers.11.6.2.(couldn’t afford upgrade yet). Got over confident, did my first update before Christmas including QT 7.5.5 – You guys know what happened. Lost Media 100i legacy play so backdated to QT 7.5 helped by all those good posts. Works but lost Compressor and at first various bits of Motion etc. Now, crunch time. Should I update to QT 7.6 or wait?

Believe what I see!

Harddrives are extremely cheap these days. So there definitely is no reason not to have a second internal or FireWire drive with a clone of your startup drive (and maybe with a backup of some of your most essential video assets). Now if you do an upgrade like the one to QT7.5.5 you can do that easily with the confidence that you can roll back (or simply reboot) to your second HD with the known good configuration in case something breaks.
So get yourself a second HD, do a clone (e.g. with Carbon Copy Cloner) onto the second HD and upgrade your main HD to see what happens.

Thanks Floh, makes sense, showing my ignorance though, does that mean a complete clone of everything on my Mac HD or just a start up part?

You should have different partitions or harddrives. One for your OSX System and applications, and one for your media files. You only need to clone the one with your system and applications, for example with Carbon Copy Cloner.
