I'm getting pretty good at using the catalog manager feature in J3 from all of this.

Isn't THAT the truth! I was feeling pretty good about the state of my Juicer 3 after I had rebuilt the catalogs from my disaster, that I decided to go ahead and try the 25 Gig update the help menu was pointing to. I should have waited for Eric to respond to my question above about running that update. Reason to fear...? The answer is YES. Don't do it. You might be lucky, but I wasn't.

Like a fool I tried it again. And again I lost the entire catalog, and I have a good deal of the product line. But I have learned a couple of tricks and also learned of a couple of pitfalls, and will pass on the assist to anyone who might need it.

None of the folders with my preview data were altered by the Juicer failure. But Juicer 3 could not "see" them. In quite a few cases I discovered that catalog manager could not see the folders at all, and would not restore them. I couldn't tell what the problem was, but I do know that juicer 3 seemed to have been altered so that it could not always recognize legitimate product. What I also observed was that any product item that catalog manager could not see on my hard drive, it was not able to see to install from the original DVD either. This is a serious glitch.

Here was my workaround: I reinstalled Juicer 2 onto my system from one of the many disks DJ had sent, and installed all the products invisible to Juicer 3 into Juicer 2. Then I migrated those installations into Juicer 3 using the copy option and had it copy into the main Juicer 3 catalog - thereby overwriting the folders for those products. That worked, but it seems to me like a brute force way of doing it.

For the present I am keeping Juicer 2 on my system along with Juicer 3, as insurance. However, now that I'm running Quicktime 7.1.5, Juicer 2 cannot stay. When I want to render an AVI, Juicer 2 won't play nice with anything later than QT6.5 (black screen problem). But QT6.5 won't let me watch the latest round of DJTV spots. So I won't be using Juicer 2 for anything but salvage work wherever Juicer 3 fails.

As much as I like the possibilities in Juicer 3, I have to admit that Juicer 2 is coming in pretty handy right now.

Oh, and I fully agree with KirAsh4 on another thread. I won't be doing any of the automatic updates until the bugs are worked out.

Stephen,

I noticed the above quote and what you stated there and I just wanted to say I'm using Quick Time Pro 7.1.6 and I don't have any of the issues you are having......There has to be something else going on here for you other than it being Quicktimes latest version. I render uncompressed avi's all the time with Juicer 2 with no problems. Are you rendering avi's using any codec compression?

John
