Michael —

I tried holding down both G&O and L&O and neither one worked. May have to go back to an earlier version.

Thanks,

Ken

Thanks for responding. I’ll try what you suggested.

I really don’t want to roll back to an earlier version if I don’t have to, but I may have to.

Thanks again,

Ken

I thought that might be the case.

I heard from someone on the Avid forum that if I hold down the G and O keys while re-booting so that some of the applications (3D and something else) don’t load, that I can play back the timeline. Haven’t tried it yet.

Thanks for responding.

I’ll give it a shot.

One of the Avid forum posts said I need to install OS X 10.4.6.

I currently have 10.3.9.

Thanks,

So QuickTime affects playback of the timeline in Avid? I didn’t think they were that closely linked.

I’ll try it though.

Thanks,

I am using QT 7.2.

I came up with a workaround. I launched QuickTime Pro and exported the DVCPRO50 files out as unencoded QuickTime movie files. My PC was able to read those fine. Unfortunately, I’m not sure how much quality I lost in the process.

Out of curiosity, where do I get the lastest Avid codecs to install on my Mac? On the Avid site?

Thanks,

Ken

A clarification. I need the DVCPRO50 codec on my PC, not my Mac. My Mac reads the files fine. It’s the Avid software on the PC that can’t read it.

So, do I want to install the latest Avid QuickTime codecs on my PC? If so, where do I find those? On the Avid site?

Thanks,

Ken

Excellent.

I’ll check it out.

Thanks,
