Why the “Enable Legacy QT Playback” option in BM system preferences is grayed out?

Hi Jacobo,
The “Enable Legacy QT Playback” option relied upon the use of Blackmagic codecs. In the DeckLink 5.0 drivers, we have largely eliminated the Blackmagic codecs and adopted the Apple uncompressed codecs as Apple have requested that we do this for simplicities sake. One of the side effects of this is that the “Enable Legacy QT Playback” option cannot be used. However, we’re examining options to see if we can make this work again so we haven’t removed it from the interface. If we can’t find a way to make it work, we will remove it but we haven’t given up yet 🙂
Regards,
Luke Maslen

Does than mean that you can’t play back DV or 8-bit movies (or any codec other than AppleUC) in QT or BM deck control and see the output on the Broadscst monitor connected to the SDI out? Like you can with OSX 10.3.x and QT 6.5 and BM 4.8?

Hi Neil,
Blackmagic Deck Control will still work. It’s only playing out from the Quicktime application that is affected.
