Thanks to B_JM who suggested this in another thread:

______________________________________________________________

SONY is using version 1.0.2.0 of the AAF Advanced Authoring Format API (AAFCOAPI.dll)

a new major version was just released 1.1.0 april 14, 2005

A few bugs are listed in version 1.0.2.0 also in the bug tracker ...

perhaps - those that can try it -- use the new build....

backup you old dll(s) and download the new version and put it in same locations in your install ...

consider this a test only and not production value ..

new build of AAF is here:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=24405&package_id=35142

It works!! Just don't update the .dll in the avid's folder or you won't be able to export AAFs anymore. Mind you it crashed immediately afterward, but I got to see my sequence and play 8 seconds of it! Hey--that's progress.
