    You can install it from the utilities folder on the Snow Leopard disc

    Yes, it’s very easy and shouldn’t require IT help.

    What I was asking…is there a way to get QT7 for snow leopard from any other place than the install disc? Online? My IT guy has the disc and say’s he’ll do it when he has time…

    Also…last night, I tried to transcode to DVCPROHD, ProRes and HDV…and none of them worked even tough I have FCP installed. I even have the option of those codecs available……I’m guessing this is a QT7 issue…

    Maybe you can do it with Compressor???

    I WAS using compressor…HDV was transcoded and made file with white video…and good audio.

    ProRes and DVCPROHD came up with error – codec not installed.

    I’ll try to get QT7 installed on Monday and let you know if it fixes this issue…I’m guessing it will, but I’m dead in the water this weekend…

    Strange… Maybe you can try to export from FCP. If that is not possible, my guess would be that those codecs aren’t properly installed on your computer

    I finally got Snow Leopard and QT7 on my MBP.

    I’m still having a strange problem…maybe should make a new topic, although I think it’s relevant to what we are talking about.

    I have some source footage – h264 codec in an AVI container. I’ve done this workflow before – convert to DVCPRO HD or ProRes to edit, using Compressor. But recently, my computer died…it’s been reloaded, and now compressor comes up with the error message (link below) when trying to convert this footage. BTW, these files play fine in VLC…so the codec is on my machine to interpret them.

    Can you open the AVI in Quicktime?

    Also, do me a favor and navigate to your Library > Quicktime Folder, and take a screen shot of the contents in there for me.

    Thanks,

    I can’t remember if I could open in QT before…but I definitely can’t now. In v7 or vX. But I’ve absolutely used compressor to convert them. I just did a project with footage from this camera.

    It’s not a huge deal…I’m just going to use Sorenson or Episode to convert…I’m just trying to figure out why I can’t do it now…like I did before my upgrade to Snow Leopard.

    Here’s my QT library folder:

    VLC does some interpreting when it opens files, especially ones QT can’t open (such as certain MPEG2 streams). There must be some sort of codec that is not installed on this new machine. All of your FCP codecs are installed. Pending any permission issues, you need to find that codec (what exactly is it again?) or use VLC to export your movie.

    Maybe try Perian.
