I’m running Xpress Pro on an intelMac (mac book pro) and am having the same problem! I posted this on the AJA Kona forum, having stumbled upon the issue there. QT works fine with every codec except DVCpro HD: The Meridien codecs are white, the DV100 codec play back incorrectly (field dominance and frame rate problems), although export from QT works with an exported same as source file (original: DVCpro HD 1080 50i/25P, camera: HVX 200). The rumor I’ve heard is that there are MacIntel codecs for DVCpro HD that Avid either A)never had or B) will have to come up with eventually. Mac’s DVCpro HD codecs for FCP work fine, but Mac has not written any for Avid as far as I know (why should they?) I’ve also heard that Panasonic has downloadable codecs (or QT components) for IntelMacs somewhere (but I have yet to find anything like it on their website) The LE 1.60 codecs from the Avid site do not help either! I’m guessing that QT needs some component that I cannot find…

anybody know the answer to this? Help much appreciated.

Yessssss!

You may be the only hope! Thank you for responding so quickly. I have a big project that is stalling regularly because of Avid’s stupidity on this issue. How can I download the codecs?

in gratitude,

Well, I installed the LE codecs package from oct 11,(from the link posted above) and: no dice! same ol’ same ol! Is everybody with an intel mac just waiting for QT to function, or am I the only one? I also tried running QT under Rosetta, and that looks even worse! Right now it looks like if you have QT 7.2 and Avid Xpress on an intel, you are out of luck! The Avid website is pure chaos! Did I manage to miss my last chance at getting these magical codecs forever?!!
I was told to try again after buying and installing QTpro. Did that, too. No changes.

I’d appreciate any further hints!

I tried that link and got this:

So, has anybody found a reliable link to intel compatible avid codecs?
‘been searchin’ for days!

thanks

I just joined this community, so I hope I’m posting this at the right spot. I cannot find the McIntel Avid Codecs anywhere! The link posted above has been “moved”, or that’s what avid.com says when I goto that link. I also installed the wrong codecs apparently: LE 1.6MAC (Not Mac Intel.) QT ref isn’t working (white screen), DV100 is choppy in QT (wrong frame rate with playback, export from QTpro works, but takes forever!), basically any Avid Codec malfunctions in QT. So, where does one find these Mac Intel Codecs?

thanks
