  Converting HD AVI files on my Mac

  Posted by Clinton Froehlich on June 24, 2008 at 1:10 am

  I have some HD .avi files that are made with the HDYC codec on a PC. Does anyone know how I can open/convert these on my Mac? I have tried installing the Black Magic codec as well as the Sheer Video codec but neither seems to do anything. QT doesn’t whine for a codec any more if I open it in the movie player, but I still don’t get to view the video. And FCP only shows a white screen on playback.

  Being a novice to all this, is there something obvious that I am missing?

  Running FCP 5.1, iMac 3 GHz, 4GB RAM.

  Thanks!

  You might want to try Flip 4 Mac. I’m pretty sure they cover AVI

  There’s some activity about this on the Blackmagic Design forum.
