I noticed the 5500/6500 Video Input Update on the Apple Software Updates web site. The Read Me document that accompanies it states that the Update "...enhances system stability on Power Macintosh 5500, 6500, and Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh models when running video capture applications."
DISCUSSION The 5500/6500 Video Input Update extension version 1.0.3 was first released with Power Macintosh 5500/6500 and 20th Anniversary Macintosh computers that ship with Mac OS 7.6.1. Additionally, this extension is installed by the 5500/6500 Extras disk for Mac OS 7.6.1 users who do not have this update. Version 1.0.3 of the extension corrected several bugs that could occur with Apple Video Player or Avid Cinema under Mac OS 7.6.1. With the release of Mac OS 8.0, this extension is no longer necessary. The 5500/6500 Video Input Update extension version 1.0.5 was released after Mac OS 8.0 was completed to correct a problem where the Movie Capture window becomes distorted after resizing the window in any video capture application (such as Adobe Premiere). This extension will work under System 7.5.5, Mac OS 7.6.1 and Mac OS 8.0. This problem will be corrected in future releases of the Mac OS. Version 1.0.7 was released on March 05, 1998. Any Power Macintosh 5500 or Power Macintosh 6500 running Mac OS 8.1 or earlier should install the 5500/6500 Video Input Update. Any Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh running Mac OS 8.1 or earlier should install the 5500/6500 Video Input Update. |
