[Avid-L2] Re: MC v5.5.2 MAC Production Suite: Is "Avid DVD" Windows-Only?

 

Thanks for the confirmation on "Avid DVD," guys.

Greg, referring to myself as a "Guinea Pig" was a reference to my
testing MC v5.5.2 on a (not-officially supported) MacPro "Nehalem"
([Avid-L2] Digest Number 7378 - Post 6). This system's processors run
at 2.26 GHz, and the minimum system requirement for v5.5.2 is 2.66 GHz.
I asked in my July 8th post if anyone here was running MC v5.5.2 on a
"Nehalem." No one affirmed running this specific combo with or without
Avid (or third-party) hardware.

Are you or is anyone else running a "Nehalem" configuration?

Jesse
