Hello Texedit. Did you resolve this issue? And do you still have iFinish 4.6 install media? I only have the iFinish 4.5 installation disc – which only runs on Windows 2000 and not Windows XP apparently. There was an iFinish 4.6 installer of some sort that allowed iFinish to work on Windows XP. If you have this installation media, I’d love to know…

Yes, there are three approaches you can take.

1) You can export a by-reference file from Media 100, and then use another program on the G4 Mac to convert the file to something your PC will understand. You could use Quicktime Pro, Autodesk Cleaner, Macromedia Media Encoder, Apple Compressor, etc… the catch here is that perhaps these programmes…

Crikey! What about exporting to a by-reference Quicktime file, and then encoding the by-reference file to final output with another piece of software? I’ve used Quicktime Player 7 Pro and Apple Compressor both for that purpose. Or do problems occur before you even make it to the export dialogue box from where to select your export preferences?

Helo Kristian – you probably realise by now, that you simply head to Media100.com and download a copy of the latest Media 100 software – which can open old project files and the associated media. Of course, the software itself is now quite old, with the latest release running on anything from Mac OSX Snow Leopard up to MacOS Mojave. Your G4…

Thank you so much Brie! =D.

Hello, =). For historical purposes/reasons, does the Cow still have a copy of John Molinari’s Blood Secrets article? The URL used to be: https://creativecow.net/articles/molinari_john/media-100-secrets.php

I’ve used EditReady too in a similar fashion, and since the subsequent media fast-imports to Media 100 once in Pro Res, it does seem a fast way. Of course it would be great if the two programs were integrated, so I could just bring media straight into Media 100. In terms of other ways, you can use other tools instead of EditReady – I used Sony’s…

How did you get on?

This screenshot, shows the folders the Pro Video 2.0.5 MXFPlugins, ProResCodec and ProVideoFormats each go into on MacOS Mavericks.

It might be different for Pro Video 2.2 codecs on MacOS Mojave.

I previously had success installing ProVideo Codecs 2.0.4 …. I think in Mojave…but possibly Yosemite. =).

I haven’t tried the latest ProVideo Codecs 2.2 yet.

ProVideo Codec Links:

2.0.4 & 2.0.5 are on the Media 100 Facebook Group – you need to join to see them:…

…unless it’s just a matter of rebooting, for Media 100 to see them? ^_^. Heehee…

This appears to be the download link for the latest ProVideo Codecs:

https://support.apple.com/kb/DL2050

…requires at least MacOS 10.14.5

…and older versions of the ProVideo Codecs will be available for older MacOS versions, which is why I asked what MacOS you are using. You just search the apple website to find them, =). Hopefully you can…

Is this the old link you spoke of?

Apple ProApps codecs and others now freely available (sort of)

What part of the old process didn’t work for you? What MacOS version are you running? Do you have any Pro Apple Software installed, in addition to Media 100 and Adobe software?

I have some M1QV files playing back okay on my 2014 Macbook Pro, so there is some hope. Still most of my Media files are typically named NT1-V90 or something…

Something else I’d recommend for Mojave – put the media on an external HFS+ formated disk when using Media 100. Sometimes Apple’s new Apple File System [APFS] doesn’t play as nicely as the traditional HFS+ hard drives for storing Media 100’s media. APFS is good enough for checking if a file opens in Quicktime Player 7 Pro, and for converting it…

Forked data is related to Mac OS9 – it never had file extensions, so there was an extra data resource with info about the file, and then the file itself. Often when people copied the files, the resource bit wasn’t copied, and they ended up with files that the operating system didn’t know how to handle, because of the missing info on what file type…

Did you manage to get the old files opened? =). What operating system version number is the iBook running? Today’s free Media 100 Suite 2.1.8b works on OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.6 (there’s a bug with NTSC Media100i 601 codec footage on 10.6.8 that is fixed in OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion) through to MacOS Mojave 10.14.

Media 100 Suite marks a reboot of the…

Three bits of feedback.

1) What’s the best way to provide feedback? Creative Community Conversations forum? Letters to the COW Team forum? Ron’s LinkedIn?

2) Will you have a way for old links to redirect to new links? For example – this legacy link: https://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/4/867607 …appears to be post number 867607 within forum 4.…
