Thanks Todd. I’ll try it out and see. strangely a quicktime dv pal compression from the sgi will work fine on the mac but not the quicktime uncompressed. Also the avi files have a strange work around (render it as a yuv 4:2:2 in the sgi, then render it as an avi uncompressed, then bring it over to the mac).
anyway now i know why i dread when upgrading happens. just when i get things working and im happy, the tech guy in the office goes and upgrades systems and software and i spend a week working around problems and losing what little hair i have left, rather spend my week having some fun editing or compositing.
cheers
