  • Meridien Codec for Intel Mac?

    Posted by Alec Gitelman on April 3, 2007 at 11:06 pm

    So do I understand this correctly? AVID comes out with an Intel Mac version of XPress Pro, but I am still unable to export Quicktime files with Meridien compression because there is no codec available yet?

    This is quite important to me. I have to deliver PAL 3:1 Meridien Quicktime files to a client and so far no matter what editing software i run on my MacBook Pro I have to take the work to a PC for the final product. Is there another solution? (Running Quicktime via Rosetta does not work)

    unfortunately after i run the codecs installer avid codecs do not appear in the quicktime dialogue or the compressor. Do you have any experience with it?

    I installed the codecs from the Avid site on my plain Macbook and QT pro shows that I can select the meridien codec. Go look at the latest downloads, there are intel codecs posted.

    did you just run the installer or did you do something else?

    sorry, i’m a mac novice.

    something strange…
    working on a mac pro and I was waiting for the right codecs
    because installing didn’t seem to make codecs available in QT.
    playing around duplicated the codecs from :Library/Quicktime into :System/Library/Quicktime
    and suddenly they work from within Quicktime and After Effects, Exporting and reading!!!
    Isn’t that weird?

    This link goes to a page that says…

    “Here are the latest codecs used with Xpress Pro 5.5.3, Media Composer 2.5.3, and Newscutter 6.5.3”

    So what about codecs for Intel Macs? ver. 2.7 MC
