And I’ll add that the bug truly manifests itself when the file is non-existent
on your local machine, if that makes any sense!
If you’re trying to read a non-existent file from a remote server, there seems
to be slow downs while the file is being requested, but not the

Hi Paul
I was curious about your original question so tried to do a search and of
course wanted to find search terms to define what an interval is. As Curry says
it is likely each media type has a different definition.
I did find a retired QuickTime document for the MovieToolbox that explains
I’ve experienced this for some time now. I haven’t reported it, though.

I suppose one could also make the counter argument that software companies do
not have oodles of money laying around to maintain endless backwards
compatibility with older operating systems. Something has to give.

In your own case (Paul) luckily there is probably very little cause for
concern - because your files have other context available, allowing us
to either convert/confirm, or else entirely replace the most important
interval values. And I don't consider this difficult to tame
sufficiently for
Not sure but the resulting text looks like this has been OCRd. We had a similar
issue with this at a customer and I noticed that OCR seems to work best on
greyscale 300dpi. It just depends on the engine.

The easy one. WTF has lost most of its bite due to simple continued usage. As
Lenny Bruce noted 60 years ago, if you use a bad word often enough, it loses
its badness.
The hard one. Several threads on the forum have bemoaned what is labeled an
overarching bug issue in LC. There

Thanks for your reply regarding Windows XP. Currently I use LC 6.1.3 to build
apps for Windows XP. So this is not a problem. I am using LC 9.6.0 to build
Mac 64 bit desktop apps. I have not yet tried building Windows 64 bit apps for
the other Windows variants.
