I 've been looking up and down this board but haven't found something relevant, maybe because it 's so obvious.

Here 's the deal,
I've got a .dmg of final cut 5.1,
the installation runs but when offered the screen where you can decide which packets_apps you want to install, final cut remains grey.
Live type and compressor you can select and install. There's no motion etc in the .dmg so i didn't bother with those.

Does the installer recogn my system isn't good enough and there for not let me install?


athlon64 3+
asus a8v deluxe
512mb ram
sb live (doesn't work)
geforce 4 ti4200 ( i don't think i've got anything special going on, it 's just 1024*768)

any thoughts?

i just recently purchased FCE 3.5 and i have the same problem. is there anyway around this ... the other apps install fine just not FCE .....

hopefully someone out there can help ....

havent seen that problem and i have isntalled fcp like 12 times

ok man .. heres what i did to get my stuff to work....

A. i took my pcie nvidia 6600 out and used my onboard GMA900
B. installed the GMA900 patches from the Jas install DVD
C. went through and installed FCE 3.5 without a hitch ....

there is a list of QE and CI comp hw on the wiki pages .... good luck

ah ic,
quartzzzz extreme must work before it 'll think about installing.
hmm this leaves me with quite a problem
since none of the nvidia cards will work out of the box with QE( waiting on macvidia...)

and ati cards aren't comp. with avid soft which i use and have to have.

lets go macvidia

well at least we got you an answer or at least some help with the problem ...

Jeap,
Thanx now at least i know what to buy...
But it does piss me off. Thinking that the odds of hackers writing working drivers are higher then a bunch of programmers at 2 of the biggest companies in this part of the universe (ati and avid)
So go go macvidia indeed!
Big up for them;)
thnx for the replies
