    • 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,
New user here, i need some help with Final Cut 6. When i install it, it is meant to recognize that the computers hardware is not PowerPC, but Intel, and install that version, but for some reason it isnt. When I try and open it, as soon as i click the icon, i get the "unexpectedly quit window".
What can i do to make it run on my Intel system? Does this have to do with plug-ins?
Btw, im running the new iMac, with 4GB RAM, and 3.06 ghz processor, so my hardware isnt the problem...
Thanks

As far as I know, FCP6 is a universal binary and installs for both PPC and Intel at the same time. So that shouldn't be a problem.

Is this a new install, or did it work before and now does not?

Open the Console.app in the Utilities folder and then try opening FCP6. Then search for further errors in the console log.
