I told you in a previous post to use the finder to copy the app into place from the dmg (i.e. drag and drop the file or select copy select destination folder and paste). In your post you state you're using the command prompt..  This won't work and will leave pieces behind.  I am not guaranteeing that your 1/4 screen issues will go away, you may have a unique hardware setup., but it is worth a try just in case.  I asked in a previous post for you to send out what your hw is and to add the information to the trac ticket I started.

John Hi

On my machine if you drag-n-drop OSX creates an alias to somewhere. It says /Volumes/folder.dmg but that is not true, I unmountred the dmg and purged it.
Reboot still plays but the icon is gone!

The problem with an alias is it does not have a [low resolution] button and since the actual app is *somewhere* editing the plist is hard.

Opening the dmg with finder and coping as described *does* work and having set [low resolution] the playback is totally normal.

I just complied with the no-digest request so my mail is all jumbled. I’ll respond RSN. But the short answer is a bog-standard early 2020 macbook pro, 8G ram and 6 core i7. Nothing out of ordinary.
