Hi Nathan,

while DMX has those two folders with Carbon Xtras and Classic Xtras, 
I have never sucessfully made a Classic projector on OSX just by just 
having the Classic and carbon versions in those folders.
It seems that only the standard Xtras get replaced automatically.
What helps is to manually replace the Xtras for the Classic version 
with the non-carbon versions.

You need to
- have the xtras available (I just replace the Xtras in Directors 
Xtras folder temporary whith the third party versions of the Xtras in 
the Classic folder, since there is no option to choose a folder in 
the dialog)

- restart director

- modify -> movie -> Xtras and replace all third party version with 
the non carbon versions

- make the classic projector

- move the old Xtras back to where they were stored before

- restart director

HTH,
Erich
