Activity Forums Avid Media Composer DNxHD Codec for MacIntel

  • DNxHD Codec for MacIntel

    Posted by Sean Lavigne on November 30, 2006 at 3:55 pm

    I searched for an answer and found nothing, so sorry if this has been covered already.

    I’m working on a new MacPro workstation w/ AFX and have been having trouble with the DNxHD codec… namely that it doesn’t work anymore. I’m getting the typical (when not having the correct codec installed) blank/white QuickTime playback. I had downloaded/installed the CodecLE 1.3 pack (if I remember the version # correctly). I use this workstation to work on footage passed to me from a PC Adrenaline HD.

    Recognizing that MacIntel support is already spotty (I’m looking at you Adobe), and that Avid is typically slow to the draw on updating for the latest/greatest Mac hardware, does anyone know if there’s a MacIntel DNxHD codec out there, and if not when we might be seeing it? If worse comes to worse I’ll have them pass me the video in another intermediate codec.

    Thanks in advance for any information.

    There isn’t.

    Presumably it is coming soon, Avid was showing Media Composer software running on Macintel at DV Expo.

    Hello there!

    Sorry for bothering You, but I have a great favour to ask You for!

    Can You please e-mail me that codec (I am using WinXP) —

    Reading about it all arround, from AVID site I downloaded 200MB version of NDxHD codec source, but don’t know what to do with it… It doesn’t have any .exe file or any extension known to me (maybe You know what to do with it???)

    Or maybe You know some link to site where I can download it from?
    Thnx!

    Hello Wes!

    Thnx for helping me try to find NDxHD codec for Windows.
    I went to site You linked me to (AVID KNOWLEDGE BASE – DOWNLOADS)….

    And what I found was 3 codecs:

    1. AVID QUICKTIME CODECS LE 1.20 (Sep 27)
    2. LATEST AVID CODECS FOR MAC AND PC (Aug 24)
    3. AVID MERIDIEN CODEC FOR POST PRODUCTS… (Apr 10)

    Now, can You tell me if I was at the right place and if DNxHD codec is part of one of those 3 codec packs?
    Do I just install one of them and there it is?

    How do I know I have it in my AVID XPRESS PRO DV (5.6.2)?
    I installed AVID QUICKTIME CODECS LE that I have on my installer CD, but nowhere I find the track of DNxHD…

    Where from within AVID XPRESS program do I manipulate with it???

    Hope You can help!

    Thnx!
