    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.

Hey guys, I started up Final Cut Pro 5 and got a message saying my "documents" folder or something is offline and I needed to do something to preserve the data? I can't remember what the actual message was. I changed it to my external drive and now what happens is everytime I try to start the application it just shuts down before it loads up.

I tried a re-install and it changed nothing. Any ideas? thanks

Did you do a time-machine back up befoer the issue? If so, just replace the FCP folder with the older version. I've seen that window before but I can't recall what I did to fix it (pre-timemachine)

I didn't do anything with time machine, now I can't even get to that window. Final Cut pro just shuts itself down when trying to load. How would I replace the FCP folder?
