Xdcam Hd422 Quicktime Codec
I have been working with XDCAM EX footage in FCP 6.0.4. Everything looks great. Until I go to output. Actually, it still looks great for me, but when any of my clients are viewing any of these Quicktime files, they see nothing. Only an error message that wants them to locate a codec.
All kinds of codecs have been loaded on to their PC machines, but nothing seems to work. I'm a bit concerned (after having done some research) that because the files were imported via a Mac and FCP that now the XDCAM footage cannot be viewed by any PC users, regardless of how new the Quicktime version they have. Something to do with the codec and how the files are bundled.? I want full resolution so have been exporting using the Quicktime Conversion and the XDCAM EX 1080p30 codec. When I export an h.264 compression, everyone is able to see the results. However, this will not suffice as I'll need a higher resolution than what that codec offers. Any suggestions?
Does SONY have some sort of codec download that anyone using a Quicktime needs to have in order to view these files? Why can't I simply export using the XDCAM EX 1080p30 codec and have these movies be viewable by all Quicktime users? In advance, thank you for any insight into this issue!! Director, Editor. I'm trying to understand all this stuff, I come from the AVID world and have always experienced AVID providing their codecs free so anyone can interpret the footage correctly.
Is this just a SONY proprietary thing? Or is there more to it? This product should work for my workflow.I just want to be able to intrepret footage edited in an XDCAM HD timeline on a mac into After Effects I'm running on a PC. There may be a better way, but I'm not a Final Cut user and haven't worked much with a variety of codecs. Thank you for the link and so much for your help!
Storage Medium XDCAM and XDCAM HD use a 120 mm disc—like CD and DVD discs—that can record 23.3 GB of media by using a 405 nm blue-violet laser. Although the Sony Professional Disc uses a blue-violet laser, it is not compatible with Blu-ray Disc technology. Sony Vaio Pcg 61a11w Drivers.
