BlackMagic codec error – unplayable QTs
My designer made some QuickTimes a couple of months ago;
used them in After Effects successfully; finished the job and had all his assets backed up on a firewire drive.
This week, he has (had to) reload his computer (wiped HDD, new OS etc);
We have put BlackMagic drivers on; we can play all other QTs with BlackMagic codecs except the ones he made a couple of months ago.
They open in QuickTime with the ‘missing codec white screen’ and will play the audio, but not the vision.
Here is the Info window:

Any clues?
Thanks for any help.Neil.

Hi Neil,
The clips have been rendered to the Blackmagic 10-bit (DV10) codec. This is a legacy codec for Digital Voodoo support and is no longer included with the drivers as they are no longer in use.
We have a tech note about this here:

You’ll need to use the v5.7.2 driver which is the last installer to include to the DV10 codecs. I would recommend you render to the Blackmagic 10-bit codecs (not 10-bit (DV10)) codecs in the future.
