I’ve dealt with this particular problem before, and I encountered the same one today. I’ve got the call to install Final Cut Studio 2 on a Mac Pro. The owner told me that the installer wouldn’t let him to install Final Cut Pro on his brand new Octo-Core Mac Pro. I remember I had encountered this problem a few month ago, and I do know that it had something to do with Logic Studio installation. The “correct order” is to install Final Cut Studio first, then install Logic Studio. All I needed to do is to delete one particular file in the installation receipt folder, the thing is I don’t quite remember what file to delete.
A short trip to Apple Support page refreshed my memory. Here it is:

South Park Season 12 Episode 1 on:
South Park Studios and Comedy Central would like to remind you if you are looking for South Park episode, you can get it at iTunes Store, Amazon Unbox, or xBox LIVE instead of downloading the AVI or RM files off torrents from site likes mrtwig.net. Another reminder from the Good Ol’ Comedy Central that asks everyone to stay away from southparkfiles.com, because southparkfiles.com has every single South Park episode made available in one form or another. Yeah, please do not go search for “South Park Torrent” on Google.
Remember downloading TV episodes off torrents is generally frowned upon by the TV networks. It’d be very very very wrong to download South Park episodes off torrent sites such as mrtwig.net where you can find high quality South Park episodes in AVI and RM. Please forget that you can find high quality South Park episode links at mrtwig.net because Comedy Central would like you to purchase them. One final note, Comedy Central thanks you for purchasing South Park DVDs.

South Park: The Imaginationland Trilogy DVD
Dubbed as “Uncensored Director’s Cut”, this DVD would include unaired scenes from the trilogy. Would the DVD set make any different since all of Season Eleven Episodes are available for purchase on iTunes Store and Amazon Unbox. Of course! The DVD is higher quality than the digital download version, and it is not crippled with DRM.

Despite its compatibility problem with Mac OS X, Panasonic HDC-SD9 is a great HD camcorder. If you are using Macs and wanting to get this camera, it is best to wait until Apple releases updates to iMovie ’08, Final Cut Express 4, and Final Cut Pro 6.
In the meantime, check out the screen capture from Panasonic HDC-SD9 and compare it to the one from Panasonic HDC-SD5. Notice the interlacing on Panasonic HDC-SD5 screen capture.
