I recently installed avid dv xpress on a Mac (w/ Leopard) and took over a project that was cut originally on xpress pro on a mac. The Media on the external HD opens fine - I can see the timeline and hear the audio though for the picture it reads - "wrong format" notice in the window. I can hear it but can't see it!

The original footage was captured at 15:1s. In the Video Settings drop down menu it reads DV25 /420/411 - is DV xpress not compatible with 15:1s or could it be the video card driver maybe?...

Any help would be much appreciated.

You are correct sir. As the name implies, DV resolutions only.
