FCP and everything else seem ok here as well.

No Problems here so far either. I had a co worker here at Apple (retail) who came to me with concerns about FCP not starting up which worried me until I got back to my edit bay an launched FCP.

A few people have reported problems with DVD Studio Pro and OS X 10.6.5. There's no word whether or not 10.6.6 fixes it, but as the change log is pretty sparse I'm guessing the answer is no.

My software:

Pro Media Tools - Edit QuickTime chapters and metadata, detect gamma shifts, edit markers, watch renders and more
More tools...

Maybe they got the Prokit upgrade at the same time, which we know messes with DVDSP?

I was still running the older ProKit on 10.6.5 which works - however I will try the ProKit update on 10.6.6 and see if I get the same issues.

For what it's worth, the OS X 10.6.6 update (both the "delta" and "combo" versions) includes ProKit 6.0.2 and an updated BrowserKit plugin for the Pro Apps. Additionally, the AIC and MPEG2 QuickTime components have been updated, along with display card drivers (and other stuff)...

No, they didn't install it.

While ProKit 6.0.2 is included in the OS X 10.6.6 update, ProKit wasn't part of the OS X 10.6.5 update.

What is the nature of the crashing in DVDSP with the errant ProKit Update installed?

My update panel here still shows the ProKit 6.0.1 update as well as the OS upgrade, so I thought perhaps some people would just press the update all button, and get the buggy 6.0.1 in the process.

Andrew - the DVDSP thing is that it fails to open at all. Here's the thread about it from a little while back : [www.lafcpug.org]

Arrrrgh spoke too soon!!! - 10.6.6 with the ProKit update has again stopped DVD SP importing PSD files. Once I try to import a PSD file it says "Import Assets - Incompatible Format"

Upon which I cannot import any other still file format!

Even images which import before trying a PSD!

I'm going to try installing the old ProKit framework - fingers crossed!

You'll be happy to know that using the older ProKit with 10.6.6 seems to fix the issues.

I'll add a sticky on the forums for those afflicted by this bug.
