[MacDV] Re: imovie 3 and VCD

[Thubten Kunga]

Guess What? Roxio is serving the expired export version of the 5.2 
updater on their website.

Just redid the 5.1.2 install from the CD to the iMac and the iMovie 3 
VCD export worked. Then I did the 5.2 update with a brand new updater 
off the Toast website and the export failed due to expired file. Roxio 
has a bogus updater sitting on their website. Thanks everyone. I was 
going crazy because I have a 5.2 version on my B&W with working VCD 
export.

Can't wait to tell Roxio in the morning. IDIOTS.
