Hi Floh,

I got the legacy QT codecs (at least the Media 100 ones-haven’t tried any others) to work under 10.6.8.

I deleted ALL the Quicktime files I could find (anything that had QuickTime or QT in the name).

Installed QT 7.6 from the Install Disc for my MacBook Pro 17″ restarted and it worked. I can use the old Media 100 files in FCP 7.03 and they show up as actual video clips – that need some rendering of course. When I first did the re-install, I tried the videos and they didn’t work, but the restart fixed that.

Not sure if this was a fluke, but it is still working for me.

Hi,

I have done a bunch of work with Betacam tapes and Kona cards. Never had any problems with playback-we use an XSAN storage system so file size really doesn’t matter to us…

I have also used a Matrox MX02 system to digitize natively to Apple Pro Res (not HQ) and the resolution has been good. Playback was off of FireWire 800 & 400 HDs and we had no problems. File sizes were big but not as big as APR HQ files (which did not playback well from FW).

I would try regular APR instead of HQ.

Caveat: the source footage I have been working with is old and in some cases not the greatest, so all I can say is that the APR footage did not look any worse than the original.
