Sorry, but the only information I have gotten on this subject was from a participant from this forum, not the main one. Info on Premiere now is at a premium. I’ve been trying to find answers to these questions for a month. Thanks.

I have a GTX 285 EVGA for Mac that I want to put in my Mac Pro 5.1 Mid 2010 (latest version),Hexacore 3.33 Ghz, 24 GB RAM, currently Radeon 5870 display card. I am running and intend to stay at OS 10.6.7 because of the problems I have been hearing about 10.6.8 and Lion, and because of incompatibilities with some of my important software.

Some of you on this thread (or any one else) are using the the GTX 285. What display driver and CUDA version are you using? What system software? What would you suggest for my setup?

I called NVIDIA and the support person suggested I start with Retail_256.00.05a23 display driver and CUDA cudadriver_3.1.17_macos released in September of 2010. He said the Mac system would reject it if it wouldn’t work. Honestly I’m not sure how much he knew about Macs. Would love to get this card going, but don’t want to mess up the system. Lastly, what is the procedure for uninstalling NVIDIA drivers if they don’t work? Are they installed in HD Root/System/Library/Extensions for both display driver and CUDA? Any help would be appreciated.

It is great that there is communication on issues like this. But it is a problem that needs a solution and not a workaround. There are programs I use that don’t understand the mpg extension and want to change them back to mov’s. I’m pretty sure they are being recompressed. At minimum they have to be renamed to mov, which could be pretty confusing. All I can say is please keep it a patch, not part of a 6.0 paid upgrade. Native D7000 playback was a big selling point here. Thanks for your attention, Adobe. It is appreciated.

Well, the problem is back again. It appears there is a problem with Nikon D7000 files. See these threads.

Reinstalls and Cleaner won’t fix this problem. Has something to do with something in “QT32 server”. Changing extension from .mov to .mpg appears to be a workaround. Adobe is working on it. I’m back to 5.0.3 until this is fixed.

Thanks for the quick reply, Kevin. That is very reassuring.

Well, I think it is something that should have been publicized a bit more. It deserves a fix that is shorter than 3 months or longer. Also, since I move programs and clips around between so many softwares, both editing and effects, I don’t know how they will react to the changed extension form .mov to .mpg.

Like many others, I am moving to Premiere from FCP. I also use the newest version of Media 100 Suite 2.0.2. I was the exclusive Avid dealer in Hawaii for 7 years in the mid ’90’s as well as a dealer for Media 100, so I know a lot of people in Hawaii that are going through evaluations of other solutions. The main thing besides the great interoperability with other Adobe apps (AE, Audition, etc.) is the ability of Premiere to work with more codecs than the competition, seamlessly. Needless to say, my experience with my Nikon D7000 files was not seamless.

I really hope Adobe fixes this soon. I will probably stay on Production Premium 5.0 until it is fixed. I’ve had enough with workarounds after FCP 7.

Thanks Tom and Jon for your help. At least D7000 users won’t be chasing their tails on this one now.

This is apparently a problem with Nikon D7000 files in 5.5 that Adobe is aware of. See:

A workaround is to change the Nikon Quicktime file extension from .mov to .mpg

This also doesn’t affect their use elsewhere. I really hope they come up with a fix for this SOON. I’ve wasted almost three days on this!

Adobe has a message that they were working on this problem as far back as May 17! Come on, Adobe, there are a lot of us out here with D7000s.

At least I’m not insane and my computer and drives aren’t to blame.
