    Posted by Troy Anderson on September 7, 2006 at 2:10 am

    A client has given me a couple of Quicktime movies that he rendered out of FCP. He says they use a “DV 50 codec”. I can’t read them on my PC. Does anyone know what he’s talking about, and where I can get a codec that may be able to read these files?

    Thanks
    Troy.

    Do you mean the dvcpro50 codec? I think it might be the same thing. If it is, I ran into the same problem recently. There are codecs you can purchase for pc to capture with but I found that if it has already been captured on a mac, then your only option is to rerender them on the mac as animation or 8 bit uncompressed.

    See if you can get the files rendered out again…

    Hy Troy,
    There is an “Easy set-up” in Final Cut calls “DV50”. In the specs says that the codec used is simply DVCPro50. QuickTime should not have any problem to read it.
    Salud,
