December 16, 1999

Download Pro Tools 5.0 (AV).hqx
Macintosh BinHex Self-Extracting Archive (10.6 MB) Recommended, especially if downloading to a PC before expanding on the Mac.

This release includes the following change from Pro Tools v5.0:

This update is provided as a fix for a bug discovered in Pro Tools that would cause video to be out of synchronization with audio by up to a frame. This only effected video synchronization with regards to AVoption.

NOTES:

  • This update will replace the existing Pro Tools 5.0 application with a Pro Tools version 5.0 (AV) which solves the above mentioned problem.
  • This download is JUST the Pro Tools application and NOT an Installer. In order to use this update, you must first run the Pro Tools 5.0 and the AVoption Installers, so that all of your components and plug-ins have been updated. If you already have Pro Tools 5.0 and AVoption installed, it is not necessarry to re-install 5.0 and AVoption.
  • This application is copy-protected using the same key-disk authorizations as Pro Tools 5.0 and AVoption.
  • If you do not have AVoption, you should not download or use this version of Pro Tools 5.0 (AV)
  • All licensing agreements when installing PT 5.0 apply to installation and use of PT 5.0 (AV).

ABVB.dll patch for AVOption ReadMe

March 6, 2000

Problem: Video capture unexpected aborted by PT. Capture aborted typically with an error like "an OS error type -39 occured" and/or a "critical video engine error". This problem only occurs when using Mac OS9.

Solution: Use CPR patch of ABVB.dll

This patch fixes a problem encountered by AVOption users trying to capture video on systems running Mac OS9. The symptom is that during video capture, capture is unexpectedly aborted by PT usually returning an error like "an OS error type -39 occured" and/or a "critical video engine error". The problem is caused when trying to capture files larger than 2Gb under Mac OS9. Typically this abort will occur somewhere around 7 minutes into a capture with an AVR 77 level selected. The problem is NOT related to the AVR level but rather to the fact that OS9 is preventing Pro Tools from creating multiple clip files.

To use the patch, exit out of Pro Tools. Then copy the old ABVB.dll file to a safe location. The ABVB.dll file is located in the Video Engine folder which is located in the DAE folder which is located in the System folder. After moving the old ABVB.dll file to a new location, download the updated ABVB.dll file from the Digidesign website(2MB.hqx file, includes the.dll file and this ReadMe) and put it in the Video Engine folder where the old ABVB.dll was located. No restart is necessary.

See Download Help if you experience download or decoding problems. Newer Mac downloads require Stuffit Expander 5.1.2 or higher. Download Aladdin's FREE Stuffit Expander for Mac or Windows.
