Here's a link to a site that does not force you to register to read the fix : http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=668856 OR In summary ( I cut and paste for times sake) The fix is to update line 293 of DVArchive's main.scpt to specifically pick the older release of Java. I have made this change and posted a new script file at http://homepage.mac.com/swaltner/main.scpt.zip Install is by: - Download the zip file - Extract it to get the modified main.scpt file - Select DVArchive in the Finder and then select "Show Package Contents" - Navigate to the Contents/Resources/Scripts directory - Rename the current main.scpt file to something like oldmain.scpt - Copy this new file into the same place - Close the package window and double-click on the DVArchive One benefit of this change is that you don't need to tweak your Java prefs to try and make it launch the older Java runtime. This updates DVArchive to force it to run the old release of Java.
