AVID to Encore – Missing video in MOV file

[Jeff Bellune]

What version of Encore?

What codec did you use in Avid to export to Quicktime?

Is it a self-contained .mov file, or a reference QT?

Hi Terri,

Those are both good answers. Do you know what codec was used? If the codec in the .mov file isn’t to Encore’s liking, then you can end up with problems like the one you’re having.

I know what all the settings were for creating the .mov file in AVID, but don’t know what the codec is/was. Basically, the options are to create a QT mov or QT reference, etc. and then the settings for quality, etc.

MOV files are like AVI files – they are just format wrappers for different codecs. For example, an AVI file can be DivX, DV, HuffYUV, Cinepak, etc. The choices for MOV files are different, but they are available, including Animation, Sorenson, H.264, MJPEG, etc.

The choice of codec is significant.

I have been having similar problems importing QT Ref video created on the AVID — sometimes video, sometimes no video. But yesterday I began getting a “Quicktime and/or appropriate codec do not appear to be installed” message; this was for both Quicktime and Quicktime reference videos. Which program needs the codec? The AVID for exporting or the Encore DVD for importing? And where can I find it?

Also, I tried to import AVIs, but I get a message stating that the decoders for that media are not available on my system.

Thanks in advance.

Has anyone posted the answer to this question? I’m having the same problem from FCP to Encore, and I’m not sure if the problem is from the export end or import end. I’m using FCP 6.0.2 and CS3 Encore. I get “Quicktime and/or the appropriate codec do not appear to be installed.
