  • P2 Clips Not Playing Back

    Posted by Chad Gilmour on January 13, 2016 at 3:19 pm

    I have a bunch of “old” P2 clips that have been converted to .mov files. They play fine in premiere, VLC, QT, etc. however in CatDV they are just green. I know that at one point they did play in CatDV, I’m on CatDV Pro 11.1.2. Guessing it’s some sort of codec issue.

    VLC describes them as “DV Video (dvhp)” 960×736 29.97fps Planar 4:2:2 YUV

    CatDV lists the technical info for the .mov’s like this:
    DVCPRO HD 720p60 (1280×720 29.97fps)
    DV Movie (HD NTSC 16:9, 48 kHz locked)

    Any advice?

    Actually I’ve found I can’t play video (only audio works) if it has a “DV Movie (HD NTSC 16:9, 48 kHz locked)” or other form of “DV Movie” codec. This is true for Mac and Windows versions of CatDV Pro 11.1.2

    However these files play fine in every other program on said computers.

    Is there some other codec pack or something I need to install?

    I’m fairly sure you’d need Calibrated Codecs to do this.

    Check https://calibratedsoftware.com and grab a demo and test.
