Final Cut Studio 3 Update: Installed Some Stuff, Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Won't Open

I told you yesterday about how I couldn't install Apple's latest Final Cut Studio (unofficially version 3), and how I was going to try Pacifist by CharlesSoft.com as a workaround to install the software. Well, I did, and got Final Cut Pro 7, DVD Studio Pro 4.2.2, the latest Cinema Tools, and Compressor 3.5 onto my late 2007 MacBook with only 64MB VRAM, an integrated graphics processor, and 2.16 GHz processor.

I was excited! Until I tried launching FCP 7 and DVDSP 4.2.2 and got these errors (same as the install warning: I only have 64MB VRAM vs. the needed 128MB):

Drat! So I guess I will be buying a new system and it will be the 13.3" MacBook Pro; I may just stick to the 2.26 GHz system and save the money because only in one or two areas is there a huge increase in speed (like Photoshop which I don't use as much as video editing and encoding, which sees marginal increases in speed) vs. the 2.53 GHz. Yesterday I was ready to jump on the 2.53 GHz system but now I'm not so sure because according to all the speed tests at Macworld.com, the speed increases overall aren't that impressive. I got this also from a review at Macworld.

I can drop in 4GB of RAM for around $70 or less from MacSales.com and I can buy the system from MacMall.com for around $1100. Then again, the first 15.4" MBP starts at 2.53 GHz and has about the same speeds as the 13.3" version, and is more expensive, too.

Heath,

You don't need to buy a new computer - I am happily using FCP 7 on my MacBook. I'll post a how-to on my blog later today.

Generally speaking, I'd want to get the fastest processor speed available if I was going to get a new Apple computer and I'd skimp on the HD or other options because it's much more expensive (if at all possible) to upgrade your processor speed down the road.

OWC certainly has everything you'd need to upgrade down the road, and I think you'd probably be happier with the 2.53 model in the long run.

Just my $0.02.

These are the most comfortable uggs on sale. I am seriously thinking of buying another pair uggs on sale just in case I wear these ones out. Well worth the money.
9?HAPPY GILMORE is a surprisingly funny and likable film. It doesn't take itself seriously and neither should the viewer as it is just plain fun whether you are a uggs on sale fan or not. Adam Sandler plays a failed hockey player with lots of problems. His girlfriend has just left him because she doesn't want to be with a "loser" and his grandmother is forced to make quilts in an abusive nursing home because her own house is being repossessed due to unpaid taxes.
