Known Issues and Limitations
The following known issues and limitations are associated with Calibrated{Q} DV50 Decode codec:

Calibrated{Q} DV50 Decode will crash if run on a computer system that does not support SSE3 instructions which
were introduced in Pentium 4 processors circa 2004 (see the Windows Requirements section).

Playback of files is dependent on both the speed of your CPU and harddrive, as well as the application that you
are using the movie files in. Please note that Calibrated{Q} DV50 Decode can be used in a wide-variety of
applications; however some applications do not use the QuickTime SDK in an optimized way (i.e. the Software
Developer's Kit that applications use to integrate QuickTime) which would cause a notable decrease in playback
performance in those applications. Before purchasing a Software License, please test the software in DEMO
MODE using your own computers and applications to ensure performance is suitable for your particular workflow
needs. Using Calibrated{Q} DV50 Decode in DEMO MODE is fully functional (including performance speed)
except for the watermark over the video. Please
see the ‘Performance’ section for more details.

CATDV: If you experience any problems in creating proxies and/or playback in CatDV, please enable Protected
Mode in CatDV. To enable 'Protected Mode', go to the CatDV Preferences and select 'Media Playback' and then
check the option 'Protected player: Use separate QuickTime helper process'. Playback performance is a little less
smooth in ‘Protected Mode’ but it will be more stable. Also, in newer version of CatDV you may wish to also
disable
‘scrub audio when dragging play head’ in the ‘Media Playback’ CatDV Preferences to make scrubbing in
CatDV faster.

When using DV50 MXF files in conjunction with Calibrated{Q} MXF Import: If you are working with MXF files
where the audio is stored in its own separate MXF file (i.e. Panasonic P2, Ikegami GFCAM, Avid, Sony SAM) it
can help in CatDV to enable the Audio Small Segments in the Calibrated{Q} MXF Import Options application.
Please see the BETA Features - Audio Only MXF Segment Size in the Calibrated{Q} MXF Import User Guide for
more details.
