firewire2001 said:In Final Cut Pro (and in most applications), if you open the Application's package, there is a file called "Info.plist" under the "Contents" folder. If you open this file up, you will notice a line which reads, among other things, "AELRequiredCPUType" for which the value is "G4" and "AELMinimumCPUSpeedSingle" for which the value is something like "500".
Without a doubt, I am absolutely sure that you could get the Pro Apps to run on the x86 machines by editing this file. I am not sure to what you would change the CPU Value (I would conjecture though that you would want to make the value something like "x86"). I use this trick on my G4 Cube to override the minimum processor speed of 500mhz required by Final Cut Pro (my cube has a 400mhz processor).
If anyone wants any help with this just drop me a PM. I would be delighted to see this working on an x86...

There is no way this will work. If it was this easy Apple would have just issued an update. I have used the same sort of trick in the past, but this is a lot more complicated.
