That software is from 2003 and was programmed for an "unsupported" architecture (PPC), and Snow Leopard is Intel only, but able to run PPC software via Rosetta.

Maybe this can help you: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...rements&biw=1340&bih=492&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=iw

No, but you could look for upgrades to Final Cut Studio (1, 2, 3) on eBay or Amazon or somewhere else or maybe find older Universal Final Cut Studio versions on eBay or Amazon.

It might be, as Rosetta is there for running PPC applications on X86 (Intel) CPUs, but you have to trick the installer to recognize your Mac as supported. I don't know how, but MRoogle will help you find some information about this, as it comes up every once in a while.
