Compressor crashes after Surcode install

Question

Hi
Could anyone throw some light on this?
I Have just installed Compressor 4. I did a test "add surround sound" action where you identify the stems.... a 5.1 set of waves bounced out of Logic.
I have just installed Surcode DTS-HD for Compressor. My aim right now is to make CD-DTS files.
Now when I add the surround sound sources Compressor 4 will crash as I complete the stem selection.
Any ideas?
Regards
Mark

Hi David
Ok I hear you. This was the complete statement from Minnietonka (below).
I may have been misleading saying Compressor 4 is 64 bit. What I am being told is that it only supports 64 bit plugins (?).
Anyway... It looks like the bottom line is that for whatever reason Surcode will not work with Compressor 4 currently. And I have no way to encode DTS for surround CD or streaming.

Thousands of third party plug-ins and many DAWs are licensed by PACE Anti-Piracy Technology. Some utilize their iLok dongle technology and others the challenge/response technology. I don't think this is actually the issue.
I just re-visited the crash logs that you had supplied to me last week, and realized that you are running Compressor 4.
Compressor 4 supports 64 bit plug-ins only. SurCode Encoder and Decoder for DTS-HD are 32 bit plug-ins which is why they are not supported in compressor 4.
The reason that Compressor 4 was crashing on you was the fact that PACE did not support 64 bit licensing until the recent release of PACE Fusion for AAX software development. For our plug-in to support Compressor 4, and other 64 bit architectures, it would have to be completely re-coded.
Note: The product page on the Minnetonka Audio Web Store states that SurCode for DTS-HD for Compressor is only supported in Compressor 3 and is not supported in Compressor 4.
