dvcpro on pc?
Hello bovines
I have already run a search and I know that its not looking good for me, but maybe someone has found a work around. I had footage captured on a mac as a quicktime with the dvcpro codec. These quicktimes do not run on my pc at home. Is there any way to get around this without reexporting the footage on a mac with something like the animation codec?
Cheers

Just had the same problem. Wound up batch converting using squeeze in OSX. Sorenson 3 codec = very good stuff
Or you can buy RAYLIGHT (https://www.dvfilm.com/) which is a codec converter thing. (I’ve never used it so I’m not saying buy it..its just rumored to solve the promblem)
I was at a shoot last night and the sound guy told me that he was working on a project the other week where there was no problem with the P2 cards and importing the data into the PC environment. NO IDEA why it worked then, and it hasn’t worked with me or you.

I faced a similar situation.
If you want to transfer Quictime DVCpro footage from MAC to PC with lossless quality, use the Sheer codec.

Thanks for your responses guys. Just as I thought… Hey Jason, the Sheer codec, is that one you have to purchase or is it already an option in Quicktime 7 Pro, AE or FCP? Regardless, animation should be fine as it is lossless right? By the way this is dvcpro50 footage, nothing to do with the p2 HD stuff.
Cheers

look for the ACE mega codec pack
install it and your pc media player will play everything -
Ya sheer costs about 150$ I believe, but you can get a 20 day free trial.
Its a good alternative to Animation cause its compression scheme is AWESOME, it creates super small files compared to Animation. In my opinion its the codec of choice for your situation
