Matt, are you kidding???
In OS9/Media 100 i up to V7.5.1 you can use the Video Previewer, a little application that lets you see a part of your desktop on your video monitor. Under OSX you need to turn on the “Video Preview” preference inside AE to preview to the Media 100 board. With Media 100 i it is useful to turn auto preview off and to use the “/” key on the numeric keypad for previews; with the HDx board you can have full preview with realtime playback on video out from AE.

Have you uninstalled the hardware codec (the Media 100 codec.component)? It cannot be the software codec alone, since these run fine with FCP. Or maybe your codec file got corrupted; try to download the sw codec again and see if that changes anything.

Go to the Media 100 FTP Server. There you can download e.g. the 7.03 update. Also check the Legacy CPG for the supported OS/Quicktime/System configuration for your setup.

I definitely would recommend the Keyspan. No hassle with modifying your CPU, and if you upgrade to a new Computer you don

You can buy them from e.g. Pipeline. You need the Mac version.

[Rich Rubasch] “Is the software codec available for download?”
Hi Rich,
the software codec can be downloaded here.
[Rich Rubasch] ” If I have a Mac without M100 hardware can I download and install the codec and render M100 files for another M100 P6000 XS system running on OS9?”
Yes…probably . The sw codec does work under OSX only (I think it is tested from OSX 10.2.somewhat upwards), but I don

Brian,
a new version of Media 100 sw with a new version of Graffiti has been released today. This one should work for you 😉

[Mike Weber] “It was recommended to me to install the M100 software codec, which I did on one of the systems. As the instructions indicated, I also removed the Media100 Codec.component file.
The movies now always render correctly, and as an added bonus, the render times are much faster. I did a test render on both systems of the same movie, and the system with the software codec rendered more than twice as fast. “These are the reasons why you should install the software codec. Good to hear that it works for you.
[Mike Weber] “Why wouldn’t Graffiti files render faster with the codec? Are they somehow still using the M100 boards to do the work, while AE is using the computer & software codec? Just wondering if this seems normal to everyone. I definitely plan to update the other system to the software codec, because the stability and speed of AE renders is a big bonu”
Media 100 i itself does not use the codec.component to access the board, so disabling the hardware codec does not change anything inside Media 100. As a result, there is no performance gain inside Media 100 i. The files from and to Graffiti and BorisFX are handed over by the hardware, since the Media 100 i software was not modified to use the software codec. There would have been some changes to make to the Media 100 i code to use the software codec and to transfer the files from and to Boris via the software codec. Only in Media 100 HD and Media 100 sw (new beta version released today) the software codec is used, resulting in much faster rendering times.
E.g. if you want to export a timeline to DVD with a lot of ColorFX it is much quicker to export them from Media 100 sw than from Media 100 i. -
[Lukkee Chong] “I exported as an edl and then conformed on our Media100 HD quite successfully.”
When exchanging timelines between Media 100 HD and Media 100 sw you don

You need to export a “by reference” file from Media 100 HD first, then open up the reference file in QuickTime player and export your WMV file from there.
