Media 100 13 and the QuickTime version of Doom

[Paul Crowe]

Hey Wick

a couple of questions. Do you know what impact (if any) doing the backward jump from QT 7.5.5 to 7.5 will have on F4M studio subscriptions?

and would the QT 7.5.5 of doom be responsible for not being able to playback a .mov exported out of M100 in the animation codec and the subsequent inability to export out of QTPRo to WMV?

Cheers
Paul

Paul,

I’m sorry but the answers to your questions are, No, no and no.

I assume you’re asking because you’re having these problems after backing up QT?

If so, be sure to Get Info on the QuickTime application to ensure that it is, indeed, reporting as v7.5

Hi Michael,

I didn’t mean to leave you hanging like that. I’m not avoiding the question but it does put me in a bit of a spot vs. our friends at AJA.

Let’s say it this way…
I was told by the hardware engineers at Media 100, Inc that the scaling chips on the HDx card are chips that Snell and Wilcox had used in some of their high-end scalers. “Best of the best” components like that don’t come cheap. This is just one of the reasons why it didn’t add up for us to keep making those cards.

How’s that for a political answer?

Wickham, many thanks for your reply and may I compliment you on your political skill. Now you support the XDCAM codec I am entirely happy and will continue to enjoy the quality of the HDx board for a while longer yet. As long as my pre Intel Mac G5 holds up.
