Leopard is the late beta, at best
A fine switch this is…First a fuck-up with the ExpressCard driver, then the intolerable mess of loose threads that iDVD ‘08 is. This is the single most frustrating part of my Mac experience so far.
iDVD does not work. The only way for my MacBook Pro to survive through DVD burning (particularly menu rendering) is to not use background photos or videos on anything but Main menu. At least main menu rendering never failed. So far. It does not matter do you use 6.0 or 7.0 themes, if you max them out with videos and slideshows all over drop zones, this piece of unstable crap will halt entire Mac OS X.
During that, system.log is filled with repeated messages like this:
Dec 11 00:12:03 AV-MBP kernel[0]: NVChannel(GL): Graphics channel timeout!
Dec 11 00:12:03 AV-MBP kernel[0]: NVChannel(GL): Graphics channel exception! status = 0xffff info32 = 0x3 = Fifo: Unknown Method Error
Dec 11 00:12:03 AV-MBP kernel[0]: 0000000```objectivec
Every 10 seconds. And this on 10.5.1 and iLife 08 with all the updates. The fact that final version of Leopard with one system update already out is still having driver issues is utterly unacceptable.
Just works, my ass.
