    • 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 all, I have an older PPC version of Final Cut Express HD and I just bought a spankin new MBP. If I install it it wants to use rosetta to run it. Will software updates make it run in UB for 10.5?

thanks for the help!

If it is only PPC coded, then I don't expect any update is available. To check, see this wikipedia article. It indicates that version 3.5 was universal binary, so that could work since that would include Intel code.

As far as I recall, people were saying Rosetta wasn't a real option for Final Cut. Maybe someone will come along and say otherwise.
