Do MediaLab and DirectRT work with Macs?

Hi all,
I can happily report that MediaLab run smoothly on Mac also using Parallels Desktop for Mac 5.
Keep on with the good job!

I'm running Parallels 5.0 on a MacPro with a Boot Camp partition. DirectRT opens just fine, but when I try to run an input file, I get the same old "refresh rate" error that people identified above. It looks like the earlier recommendation was to just boot through Boot Camp, and I can do that, but would like to continue working in the coherence mode...any workarounds for getting DRT to recognize the refresh rate?

Unfortunately, for DirectRT to run properly, it needs, er, 'direct' access to the computer's hardware. Since Parallels emulates the hardware, there's no way for DirectRT to run.
