Hi syntho,
nice to hear that vine viewer worked the way I described. I am sorry, that it is not fast enough for you. I worked out that vine viewer is more reliable (or maybe also a little bit faster?!) when working in fullscreen mode. The "window mode" seems to be a little bit slower but it was more reliable when I worked with protools, because I could use the record button (cmd+space) the same way as I would sit in front of the os9 machine and also I don't get any "disk too slow" message when working in fullscreen. Don' know if this helps but I wanted to inform you about this too. Good luck with timbuktu and I am really curious if timbuktu is really faster.
Best, paule.
