I discussed the problem of running the Tutorial Movies on a Mac with our technicians. It seems to occur due to a codec error using the MSWP for Mac. We tested the Movies on several Macs and encountered severe skips of frame rates; the viewing of the movies is impossible. Also SGI Users are unable to run the movies as MSWP does not support Unix based OS.
As the points I bought became useless I would like to know how to get a refund for them.
I also must add that I am somewhat dissapointed that the SM Team seems not to consider SGI and Mac Users as their customers and users of their Tutorial Videos.
Nevertheless I still regard the SM forums as a valuable source in communication between Maya Users which I hope can lead in the near future to a coordination between different platforms.
