Sorenson codecs don’t show up in Library

[Todd Kopriva]

I think that what you might be seeing is a QuickTime issue, not an Adobe software issue. Apple decided that certain codecs were “legacy” codecs and so you have to go and enable them in QuickTime. They don’t appear by default. It’s Show Legacy Codecs (or something like that) in the Advanced tab in the QuickTime preferences.

It’s a little different on Windows, since the QuickTime preferences are set up differently, but the idea is the same.

(I’m typing this on my phone, so I can’t check the exact wording or steps.)

Thanks for your Help Todd, yes another user in Apple told me the same, thanks for the valuable info,
I didn’t mean to blame adobe for that, I do apologize If I sound like that
This is very interesting so if apple declared Sorenson obsolete, so which could be the best video codec with approximately the same size rate of space in files than sorenson 3 ? , sorenson 3 was not bad and a small difference in quality than Photo Jpeg or Jpeg2000 codecs but a big difference in size ratio, by the way I have tried the quicktime H.264 in the best posible quality but it’s terribly poor

So which could be a better codec than sorenson 3 but with approx. the same size ratio in files ?

Thanks a looooooottttt for your Help !!!
