DVD Studio Pro G5 and iMac Compatibility Issues

If you have purchased a late model Power Mac G5, released after October 19th, 2005 or an iMac G5 (iSight) model computer and have installed DVD Studio Pro 3 on them and have had nothing but problems, there's a reason why. Apple has just released a statement that DVDSP 3 only works on machines that have AGP video cards and the late model G5's and iMac G5 (iSight) computers use a newer PCI Express video card making DVD SP 3 unsupported by these models.

It was stated that simply attempting to import an MPEG 2 asset into DVDSP 3 on a Quad Processor model is enough to make the program unexpectedly quit. Apple suggests that you upgrade to version 4 of DVDSP if you are using the hardware mentioned above and wish to use DVDSP.
