Recovering analog video files
I’m creating a sizzle reel that contains footage I’ve shot (and digitized) over the years. I’m finding that some of the DV & BetaSP files that I have in the system, but show up black in the bin as well as when trying to play them, either in M-100 or QT. Never experienced this before in the 15 years I’ve been using this.
Currently working with v1.6.2.

What version of OSX are you using? 10.6.8+ affects clips using the Media100i codec.
This is from the release notes for Suite2.1 but probably affects prior versions:

Hey Jason…
I have seen the notes that 10.6.8 is creating some issues. I’m running 10.5.8 on my Mac.
I have some Media 100 NTSC files (640×480) that appear to be just fine. I’m finding a lot of the Media 100 NTSC-720 files are the problem. Checking more….

Well, there was a QuickTime update to Leopard that also broke the same thing, and it seems like you took that update.

In fact, the 720 format is what’s called NTSC 601. 640×480 don’t really complies with the standard. On it’s Website, Media 100 states the following :

»I understand you’re using 10.5.8, but if you updated your Qt version, this one broke the M100 NTSC 601 codec.
I kind of remember Floh posting a solution to downgrade to previous QuickTime version…
