CatDV Pro is damaged

Question

I get the message “CatDV Pro is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash.” when I try to run it under OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.

Answer

This is Gatekeeper warning about running an app that wasn’t purchased from the Mac App Store. To run CatDV, go to System Preferences and choose Security & Privacy. Select “Allow applications download from: Anywhere”. You will now be able to launch CatDV. (You only need to do this the first time after installing CatDV. After launching CatDV once you can change the settings back to only allowing applications from Mac App Store and identified developers for increased security.)
