[MacDV] Re: MAC OS X Panther?

[Matthew Guemple]

I like the next best thing as well, I just don't want to be out a bunch  
of cash.
Would it require a software upgrade as well... ie months of waiting or  
working around while software catches up? Or will the old stuff run  
(and like the altivec thing) just require a patch to make use of the  
64bit aspect? Or do we know that yet?
