Bogart 3.2a in Pal

[Charles]

Just seen on the MSDE site that 3.2a Pal released.

Yes! I have just installed it, and I can say: It is a great update! The problem with trimming is OK. We can now play trimmed scenes in its full length again. So, thank you all of you who have reported this to MS Germany.

Have they put a driver in for the twister this time otherwise I do an update instead of a full install.

Copied from a Babel translation German to English it does seem Twister is again supported.

Looks like they fixed Twister (NOT TWIXTOR) and also the drop frame monitor problem as well as the trim according to the German site. That is good news for even the 2.4 here!!! Looks like Germany listened.

Yes! I have just installed it, and I can say: It is a great update! The problem with trimming is OK. We can now play trimmed scenes in its full length again. So, thank you all of you who have reported this to MS Germany.

Hi Jeanton,

did you update or destructive install 3.2a?
Installation without problems?

I installed yesterday and had some trouble.
First off an error screen appeared and then changed to normal install screen.
Installation was done in less than 4 minutes, however then another
warning screen told me the installation has been cancelled.
But that wasn't true since in main menu down left it said 3.2a
So I tested if it was a3.2a by trying some fixes.
All was OK, in trim audio is OK now, export to archive no stereo channels
are swapped.
Don't kwow why it has installed correctly while it says "Installation cancelled"
Have reported to MS/HelpDesk.
Hope they have an answer to this mystery

After downloading the Bogart 3.2a, I burned it on a DVD+R, and put the DVD in the Cassie as usual, in order to do an update install. I could hear the "usual sound", and then expected to see the install menu. But, nothing happened, until the start menu of Bogart SE 3.1 popped up. (Not the 3.2a menu).

Hmm, I then opened it and found that it worked as if I had started the SE 3.1 in the usual way. I tried once more, but the same thing happened.

Then I burned the SE 3.2a on a CD, and now the installation menu popped up and I could start the installation of my SE 3.2a.

So, is the Cassie more sensitive when using a DVD instead of a CD in this case, or was something wrong with my DVD?

A similar case happende to me a couple of years ago. Are DV's better than DVD's or could it be a casualness?

Hi Hans

I did an update this time as I didn't feel like going the whole full install and try to archive and restore and importing the fonts.
All the importent things are fixed I think I will give it a good work out next week so fingers crossed.
The bug that I reported is not fixed though it is an insert playback in range two screen (far right play button) mode the sound stops 1 sec in but it does play in full screen mode.
I don't care about the media manager side of things I don't use it because it is useless.

Hi,

Same problems as Hans here...both with update and fresh install....

I still not have tested everything, but...again system instability (intempestive system reboot during effects rendering...), and a few fixes...just half fixed...for ex. the direct import into Bogart function for SD files...it now works, but important image quality degradation during the import and the sound is not synchronized....

Cheers.
