  Hi All

  Thanks for the previous reply

  Now wondering if going onto APPV 4.6 would be better for us

  Anything concrete on upgrading to APPV 4.6 from Softgrid 4.2? All the forums are very vague and nothing seems to have been tried and tested throroughly.  Has anyone been through this process at this level?

  Will we have to resequence our 4.2 sequences if we upgrade, do the osd's require modifying etc

  Would appreciate any feedback

  Whether or not you need to resequence will depend on each package - you will need to test. You may find that all of your packages work, or that some of them require upgrading in the 4.6 sequencer.

  SFT Encoder is available for batch upgrading older packages to the newer 4.6 format: http://www.gridmetric.com/products/sftencoder.html
