TOPIC

    When using a 6500 and a 16" Apple Color Display with the AvidCinema Software, I get an error message of "Invalid JPEG data. Your movie clip may be corrupted." when opening the application.


DISCUSSION

    The problem is the fixed resolution of the 16" Apple Color Display and the number of colors available is only 256 on the 65/6400 series CPUs that only have 2 or 1 MB of VRAM on the logic board, respectively. This results in the error message "Invalid JPEG data. Your movie clip may be corrupted.". It can happen on any monitor/CPU combination when the number of colors is 256 or less in 640 x 480 resolution. For Avid Cinema to open and function correctly, you need to have a monitor/CPU configuration that supports 16 bit color depth in at least 640 x 480 resolution.

    On the 6400/6500 the only way to resolve this issue is to use a monitor that will be able to display the 640 x 480 resolution in 16 bit color (14" display, 15" Multiscan display, etc.) and to refrain from using the 16" Apple Color Display.
