List of Codecs?
Is there a full list of codecs that come with Quicktime? I can’t find anything definitive, every list I find is more like a “best-of” kind of listing.
I captured some JVC GY-HD110U footage in Final Cut using the HDV 720p30 Easy Setup. I gave it to a client using his own Mac and he can’t open it in Quicktime.
Is this a Final Cut codec that he doesn’t have? I had thought all the HDV flavors came with the system.
I’m going to have to convert all this footage, but since I have no way to test this on my system I’m trying to find a list of HDV formats that come with Quicktime. I can find one that works through trial-and-error, but I was hoping to pick the best option, not just the first option I happen to find.

HDV codecs come with Final Cut, not Quicktime.

So iMovie ONLY uses AIC?
I had thought that it used HDV too, so he would be able to play it, but I guess it transcodes everything it captures?
Thanks for the info.

That’s correct.
All the best,

I would assume so, but I do not have a definitive answer on that. I would imagine it uses it’s own variation, yes.

Marco Solario published a codec list a few years ago, I think you can find it a New River Media.
Have a wonderful day.
