  Mark II footage jumps in quicktime

  Posted by Ricardo Tabosa on July 24, 2009 at 3:25 am

  Hello,

  i’ve recently got some quicktime files from a Canon Mark II.
  When i play it directly in quicktime, the footage is always jumping and freezing with a refresh interval of 2 seg.

  I’m running a:
  Mac DualG5 2.1 Ghz with Leopard
  NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL 256MB
  2.5 Ghz of Ram
  Quicktime 7 pro

  Does anyone identifies this problem?

  Thanks,
  Ricardo Tabosa

  From the looks of your set-up it could be a processor speed issue. H.264 is a processor heavy codec. Have you been able to get any files from the 5D to play smoothly?

  Could also be a drive speed issue, but I am thinking it has more to do with the processors in your machine.

  thank you for the reply.

  Until now i couldn´t play any file from Mark II.

  perhaps is the processor like you said. That’s not very good news.
  I´ve to downconvert the files.

  Thanks,
  Ricardo
