I’ve spent a couple days trying to figure this one out. All you need to do to play the XDCAM EX files in Quicktime is this codec:

applehdvdCodec.component

Put it in LIBRARY/QUICKTIME

You can download the codec here:

Yes if you install a recent version of Final Cut Pro, you will also install this codec which allows you to view the JVC 700 XDCAM EX files in Quicktime. But the codec will work in Quicktime without buying FCP.

I can’t believe Apple is not making this codec available on their website. Thanks for wasting my time again Apple.

Enjoy.
