Hi there -

I'm trying to play a MOV file in HD format but I can't because apparently I'm missing the DVCPRO HD codec. I can play that file on my main PC because I installed the codec once, it's just that I don't remember from where I got it :confused:

So I tried mainconcept's and AVID's but with no avail.


Thanks for helping.

@Razorholt

1) Please load the video into GSpot and post a screen capture back here

2) What software and procedures did you use to create the video? I ask because the software you used surely included access to the required codec

BTW - The following was posted at another forum at http://forums.creativecow.net/tags/dvcpro_hd_codec :

in the Adobe After Effects Forum
Apple has not released the DVCPRO HD codec for general QuickTime users, and especially not PC users. It's a closed-end format that can only be read by the codec included with FCP. Adobe and Apple used to play nice, now ...

Yeah, DVCPRO HD is pretty much a no-go on the PC, unless you're running Avid (as far as I know), or a special software package. Best Bet is to get it on a Mac with Final Cut, and export to Photo JPEG at 100% quality :)

From ffmpeg's changelog:


DV50 AKA DVCPRO50 encoder, decoder, muxer and demuxer

So ffmpeg can *probably* do what you require. :)

FFmpeg does not support DVCPRO HD yet. But I think someone was planning to add it.

Alright, thanks guys for your replies. AVID saved me this time. Altough I downloaded their codec prior to posting the qtx ended up to the system32 folder instead of the QTComponents one. :)

The file that was given to me for encoding is rather small: 1.5 TB. It has been edited with FCP but since I'm using windows I had to install the DVCPRO HD for windows (or DVCPRO 100) v210.

Thanks.

Which DVCPro HD codec was that?

My go-to tool for DVCPROHD decode on Windows has long been Rhozet Carbon, but it'd be nice to have some alternatives for people who don't need a whole $5000 enterprise product.

Make sure that all the qtx files are saved in quicktime/QTComponents folder.
