There have been a number of posts added to the thread here on the DUC since I last posted here about it. Here are two more work rounds suggestions.
First one is from SOUTHmsd…
I had clients make a surprise pop in yesterday since editorial is right down the street. I generally work (when i’m by myself) with a qt file in the session on one of the host screens. I updated from 8.x.x to 8.0.3 last thursday. With 30 minute’s notice, I started prepping the sessions for playback on the big screen. That’s when I discovered the issue. My fix for this mega-annoying bug was, before switching between sessions remove the dv file from the regions list. Then import again on the fly when reopening. It looked a lot better than jumping behind the desk and yanking cables out and putting them back.
and the second from JimLeb…
My Canopus runs off of AC (not the Firewire for it’s power). I set up an X-10 remote control and an appliance module to turn the box off every time I launched a session. I’m happy being back on 8.0.1cs1. Outside of having to unmount drives within ProTools, I don’t feel like I’m hurting for 8.0.3.
It seems as though my advice from my first post is that anybody using video and Pro Tools should stay on 8.0.1 until this has been fixed.
Mike is Pro Tools genius and an award winning ‘audiomeister’, defined as ‘a person of great skill and authority in sound’. His vast array of credits include music (from classical to rock), drama and documentaries across all the BBC Radio networks, as well as audio post production for video and TV, ‘new media’, live sound, commercial CDs, DVDs and podcasts, helping clients tell their stories with sound. He has been described as "an oasis of calm in a stormy creative world"; "quick, creative & easy to work with"; "always going the extra mile"; and "invests himself in the success of your project"’.show me less content in the footer

Seven radio producers – all based in the north of England – have joined forces to launch a new co-operative venture – ‘Radio Wizards’. It’s equally remarkable that their aim now is to work together on every kind of sound production... except radio!
"It’s taken over a year to get to this point," says ‘wizard’ Mike Thornton, "but now we’ve got a viable business plan, we’ve launched our website and we’re already starting to attract commissions. As a facilities provider we decided to facilitate this partnership and set them up with a web site to help kickstart this excellent partnership."
