Hi Michael, I'm going crazy. I've installed metafuze on 3 systems so far and I can't get it to recognize the R3d File no matter what I do. I'm now trying this using your configuration. I've got a macpro, put VMware on with XP. Installed avid codecs, and qt 7.4.5. I have a test R3d file in it's original folder with the qt refs. It recognizes the the qt refs but doesn't see the R3d. What am I missing? Thanks
