It’s ok i figured out the problem.
You can’t install the Live Type media discs on a new Mac because it no longer supports PowerPC, i have an old 2008 Mac tower laying about so i was able to install the Live Type fonts onto that and get the job done.

I just rolled Premier back to version 7.0 and the footage is playing back no problems. It appears something has been broken in the latest update that affects Mercury playback with my configuration.
My exact specs are:
Mac Book Pro 2011
2.2 Ghz Intel Core i7
8 GB ram
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1024 MB
Software OS X 10.9.1

Cheers

Hi Peter
I just remembered i have PP CS6 on this system so i loaded up some of this Alexa ProRes footage in a project threw on an adjustment layer and applied an effect that turned the timeline red, with OpenCL selected CS6 plays back the timeline at full res with no dropped frames.
So why does version 7.2.1 choke on the exact same scenario, further more i know this was working in the 7.1 version of Premier because i was playing back this stuff before the update last weekend with on dropped frames.
Thanks
Gavin

Hi Peter
If that is the case why is performance significantly worse when i select “GPU Acceleration OpenCL” as opposed to “Software Only” option.
For example this Alexa ProRes footage stutters badly when OpenCL is selected but plays perfectly in software only mode.
Also i have a yellow line above the footage in OpenCL mode and a red line in software only mode which is what i would expect visually to have, but performance is opposite to what i would expect.
Thanks

Hi Peter
Cuda driver is up to date it was the first thing I checked. GPU in the Macbook is “AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1024MB”.
I am curious as to why i no longer even have an option to select Mercury Playback with Cuda?
Thanks for your time

I have just come across this exact same problem and the way I solved it was to open the xml in Fcp7 which opened it correctly and then export an xml out of Fcp, this xml then loaded correctly in Premier CC. Reslove seems to have issues savings out an xml for Premier in some cases.

Try a program called tsMuxer, its free. I have used it to mux mpeg2 with .ac3 files in the past and it works great. I don’t think compressor can mux files

Is there any particular reason you don’t capture in FCP? FCP will capture DV in one long stream.
