Pro Tools PC to MAC conversion problem

[madbutcher]

I have my sessions on a PC running PT 7.1. When I go to another spot to do things, it is running on PT 5.1.XX on MAC OS9. Even if I "save copy in" and save it as a "5.1-6 session" and check "enfore mac/pc compatibility" on the PC setup, when I go to the OS9 setup, it won't open the sessions. Lists them with the "PC" logo. So we have to hookup an MBOX to a OSX laptop running 7.1, open the files, save them the same way on there. Then they will open on the OS9, 5.1 setup. Any way of getting around this so I can just save on my PC setup and go straight to the OS9 setup without needing the OSX middleman?

Probably best to ask this on the DUC rather than here man.

why not both?

why not indeed !! 5.1??? yikes! the oldest version of tools i ever used was Mix plus, so 6.4.1

yeah, I would seriously suggest an upgrade.

Bounce all the files (starting at timeline 0 / 1 whatever) and import them into the new session.
that's the best way to get around stupid compatibility problems quickly.
