    Daniel,

    Try installing the Blackmagic or Kona codecs on your machine. Both companies allow free installation of the codecs without one of their cards, but I’m not 100% certain if the DVCPro codecs come from those packages or from FCP, or both.

    Daniel,

    Another solution would be to clone your MAC system drive from the machine with FCP to a firewire drive and boot the second machine from that drive when you want to play the DVCPro video.

    You can’t do it. Listen to Gary. The Quicktime DVCPro HD components are exclusive to Final Cut Pro customers. It comes with Final Cut Pro and there is no other way to install them on a Mac as far as I know. This is due to some sort of agreement inked between Apple and Panasonic.
