4	06.03.2002	All	Export of caption tracks needs to be re-ordered.	The first caption track is treated as the default caption track. This track is not qualified by a system-language text attribute.

2.01 beta 02

Number	Date	Affected OSes	Issue	Action Taken
1	05.06.2002	OS X	Upon launch, either no file menu or no application window appears.	Resolved. This issue was caused by a faulty installer.
2	05.08.2002	Windows XP	When starting a captioning project using the GRiNS player in MAGpie, an error is invoked that indicates that the file named jawt.dll can not be found.	Active. A temporary fix that some users have found successful is to copy the jawt.dll file to the windows/system32/ directory.
3	05.14.2002	Windows ME	Unable to open RealMedia files with GRiNS player in MAGpie.	Active.
4	05.14.2002	All	MAGpie is very slow when opening .wmv files.	MAGpie does not currently support Windows Media file types, unless the file type can be opened in either QuickTime or RealPlayer.
5	05.14.2002	All	Upon launch of MAGpie, no splash screen or application window appears, only the console window, which fills with error messages.	If the system has QuickTime installed, but not QTJava, this behavior will be exhibited. Use the QuickTime updater application to update QT, choosing 'custom' and select all options. MAGpie should function as expected after the update.
6	05.14.2002	All	Demo files do not play as expected.	Long filenames in the demonstration folder were truncated by the compression software. The files names indicated for the caption and media files in the QT and Real SMIL files are correct -- renaming the files to match the SMIL file references will correct the problem, as will downloading a corrected demo zip file from NCAM.
7	05.14.2002	All	When exporting a project with captions and audio descriptions for the RealPlayer, the audio descriptions do not play.	Due to an error in the RealPlayer, the audio descriptions are ignored unless they precede the reference to the caption file. Modification of the MAGpie output is planned.
8	05.14.2002	Windows	The GRiNS player in MAGpie doesn't work.	A common problem occurs when the Java Software Development Kit (SDK) is installed. The install process for GRiNS may install files in the incorrect directory. See the documentation for instructions on the correct installation of GRiNS.
9	05.14.2002	All	The captions menu contains an item that reads, "Insert captions from from file" rather than "Insert captions from file".	Active.
10	05.14.2002	All	Unable to caption MPEG files in QuickTime.	MPEG support in QuickTime needs to be added using the QuickTime updater application.
11	05.14.2002	All	No grid appears after selecting a media file and creating a new track.	Active. The error occurs when OK on the new track dialog is clicked before the language choices in the combo box completely load. Until this is corrected, make sure that the language choices load before clicking OK.
