Third Party Codec Crashes

Question

CatDV crashes when playing media on Mac OS X 10.7 Lion

Answer

There appears to be an incompatibility between 3rd party QuickTime codecs (3ivx, divx, Perian) and Lion. If you see entries similar to the following in your crash log try removing these codecs from the /Library/QuickTime folder. Alternatively, if you enable the protected player in CatDV’s media playback preferences that will run the playback engine as a separate process, which should allow the main CatDV application to continue and relaunch the player if a crash occurs.
