Aurora codec files

[John Pale]

If you don’t already have a Kona or Blackmagic card, download the software only codec (from either).

I believe using that you may be able to open it. If not, you will need to find someone with a PowerPC Mac and install the aurora codec package on it. Aurora went out if business before Apple went Intel and never wrote Intel codecs.

Thanks John. I do have a Blackmagic card and drivers, but seems it does not work.

I guess I have to hunt down a PowerPC Mac and reinvent the wheel.
Lesson learned on saving quality footage for the future in 3rd party codecs.

I have no way of testing it, as I no longer have any Aurora files, but I seem to vaguely remember that Digital Voodoo and Aurora could open each others files

If you are feeling lucky, try installing this..

I have an old Aurora system that is functional. How much footage is it?

Thanks. I am curious as to whether it will work. I would uninstall the component after use. It might interfere with the Blackmagic Component.
