I've worked out a simple one-byte patch that lets you use the Compact Video
compressor with Premiere 1.0. Got your copy of ResEdit handy? Here goes...

Open up your copy of Premiere, and look for the HDLR resource with ID 1001,
name "COMP". Double-click the resource to open it with the hex editor. Find
the byte at offset 15A89 hex. This byte should have the value 80 hex; change
it to 40 hex.

That's it. I did some brief tryouts of it last night, and I'm reasonably
confident that this fix lets you create colour movies with the Compact Video
compressor, without introducing any new problems. Of course, all the usual
warnings apply: make the change with care, use at your own risk, and never,
*ever* modify your original disks (you *did* write-protect them as soon as you
took them out of the box, didn't you?).

Let me know if you hit any problems. Also let me know if it works: I could
do with the reassurance...
