AVI to QuickTime on a Mac
I’m rather new this. I have some uncompressed HD in .avi format (HDYC) that were created on Windows that I need to open/convert on my Mac. I don’t have any Black Magic hardware, but did download the basic OS X codec from their site. QT no longer whines about missing a codec, but I still do not get any picture in QT or FCP 5.1. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated!
Running on iMac 3 GHz, 4 GB RAM, OS X 10.5.3

I’m in the same boat. Just launched an email to BlackMagic. I read on another thread that they may have an app to convert to QT. That’s all I’ve found so far. Otherwise I have 50G of useless 1’s and 0’s.
Anyone else?

try install not just codec but full driver. and try program MPEG StreamClip

Thanks for the response, but that didn’t work either. I sent a message to Black Magic over a week ago with no response. Looks like I’m going to have to send it out to get it converted to HDV…

Hi,
The Mac uses 2vuy instead of HDYV for decoding of 8-bit Uncompressed video. 2vuy on Windows is used by Microsoft but we don’t use it as it may use the wrong colorspace for HD video.
I wrote a little application to simply convert the fourcc codec so that Quicktime on the Mac knows which codec to use when reading these files.
Can you email me suggestions[at]blackmagic-design.com and I’ll send you the Mac app.
