[MacDV] Re: 10.2.4 May Hose iMovie 3

[Thubten Kunga]

I'm just using the old Matty & Kids tutorial cuts only for testing the 
Toast VCD export so my launch is quick. There could be any number of 
variables causing this problem for me. I just know it happened on 2 
different Macs the same way. But I'm glad to hear it didn't on yours.

Well I just tried it a second time on the Cube and it worked. No 
crashes. Toast up and ready for burning. Meanwhile on the B&W, I can't 
even get it to finish rebooting. So I am not a very good example.

Just off the phone with Roxio Toast Tech Support. They say the the VCD 
export from iM3 is a definite maybe. They have very inconsistent 
reports that can't explain why it works sometimes and other times not. 
A fix is in the works for 10.2.4 that will be released as soon as the 
end of February maybe a bit longer.
