Transcoder available for Avid-codec files?

Posted by Maxwell Federman on March 21, 2009 at 7:35 am

Hello

Anyone know of a Transcoder or plug-in that, once installed, allows playback of Avid-coded QuickTime files on a system without an Avid application/program installed?

Perhaps this is a stupid question, but thanks.

It will be cause for celebration when the pressure from a shrinking market share will force Avid to move further away from their past (and current) marketing philosophy that has left a bad taste in the mouth of so many people I have dealt with.

Despite you hating so harshly on Avid, I will answer your “stupid” question.

And the QT codec has been available for many years. Unlike the ProRes QT codecs which have been doled out for all platforms, cannot encode on a PC and requires FCP installed on the Mac to encode… quite a difference from the Avid approach. Perhaps one you prefer?
