Well, they seem serioulsy confused as well <g>. On their FAQ page they say that they want to hear from Mac users who've downloaded their demo version and tested it on VirtualPC. Amazingly, a few lines above they say that DV Rack will not run on VirtualPC on a Mac.
Again...duh.
First and most obviously, it's the developers role to test their products for potential customers. It's about as amateur as it gets asking the segment of the market that they've excluded to download their product and test it for them after they've ben told it won't work. Did I say duh?
Then in another FAQ referring to the lack of Mac support they mention that "fortunately PC laptops are quite inexpensive". Yeah, like people who've invested a few grand in high end G4 powerbooks are going to drop a grand or two on a PC laptop to run their program. Then they can deal with moving the media into their FCP sytem...huh?
It would be a lot more honest and credible to just stick with the "we're not developing this for Mac users", and leave out the vague suggestions, and the silly assertions that buying a high end laptop with a different OS to run their $300 program is practical.
It's really too bad because the screens on the G4s are spectacular and would maximize the potential of this as a field tool for untold thousands of producers around the world.
