[Mark Suszko] “Also, a second strategy you should explore that is very cost-effective is to create a VNR (Video News Release) package, also called an Electronic Press Kit. Not as immediate as a live satellite shot, but still very useful. This is a collection of selected interview clips you have shot with with the artist, plus a variety of b-roll clips of cut-aways and other kinds of shots, you send that raw material out to stations and they use the construction kit of shots and clips to craft their own custom version of your story.”
The other day I had mentioned VNRs and EPKs in a conversation with the producer of the daily A.M. news show I TD. He just laughed, pointed to the wastebasket, referring to it as the “library” for all the VNR’s he gets.

Not sure how FCP HD (v4 or 4.5) might play on Leopard. I don’t have that answer; I know it’s been discussed here in the past. I’m thinking you might want to upgrade your FCP suite as well.

Install discs that are provided with a machine are in almost all instances specific to that computer. There are usually hardware-specific items in the system software that only pertain to that machine. You need to get a “retail” version of Leopard 10.5x, which will install on any Mac.
You’ll find that this version is much in demand, and thus a bit high in price, as many (myself included), want to get the last version of OS X that will install on older machines. -
These threads, and many others on the COW FCP and OS X forums, address this frequently brought up issue:

The basics:
Boot Camp (already on your machine), or
Parallels Desktop, or
VMWare Fusion.Then, installation of a full retail purchased version of Windows.
Windows via Boot Camp requires dump out of Mac OS X and boot back up as a Windows box.
Parallels and Fusion run Windows within Mac OS.
Tons of info on the subject, starting at apple.com and elsewhere.
