IOXperts Video 1.1.2a45 posted

[Steve Sisak]

I think I've found the problem -- I should have an official patch out 
tomorrow, but I've posted a temporary build on my internal server 
which ought to work if you want to try something sooner.

<http://www2.ioxperts.com/downloads/Video/Beta/1.1.2a46/>

It's also looking like FireWire might not be working on Leopard for 
the same reason that it's not working on Intel (support for old-style 
DCLs is broken).

On my G5 Quad, FireWire appears to be working on Tiger but not 
Leopard -- I'd appreciate it if anyone can give it a smoke test and 
let me know if it works for you.

With this release, old serial numbers should work again, but new 
purchases will generate a new-style serial number so that we don't 
have to worry about upgrades for new purchases.

I also made a change to the scheme 1 serial number scheme:

As you may have noticed, USB unique ID's can contain arbutrary 
unitcode characters -- for instance some of the Philips cameras have 
spaces in their serial numbers.

While there's no problem with this, it makes the unique IDs look 
strange, and they are frequently mistyped, so for the 1.2 serial 
numbers, I'm removing any non-alphanumeric characters from USB unique 
IDs before displaying them or using them in file names as this looks 
like it would be safer in the long run.

Please don't purchase FireWire drivers with this build as I want to 
make the corresponding changes on eSellerate for the official release.

Sorry for the inconvenience on this,

-Steve
