  • Quicktime Movie Playback problem.

    Hi,

    I’ve exported a quicktime movie, with the dv codec, from an Avid Adrenalin system, and it appears to play back fine on the windows machine, but when I transfer it to OSX for the Protools system, it only plays 2/3rd of the movie, and then cuts to a grey (with dots) screen. The file is about 3.3Gig. Is there any reason for this? Any ideas would be appreciated!

    Thanks so much!

    It sounds like a 2gig file limit problem. (possibly from Pro-tools) try breaking it up into 2 sections. I do not know the details but I remember that files were limited to 2 gig in older Mac OS and Windows systems.
