Want to keep the most original format I can as an archive. H264 doesn’t work well in FCP 7.
Everything I edit is my footage so for the HDV files I need something to convert them (or re-install the OS10.6.8 and lock the computer, which is what I’m intending to do).
However I do shoot with the JVC HD111E for other clients who use FCP 7 and 6 in post. This is the issue I need to work around, although the main one has just emailed me telling me he’s had enough, bought Adobe Production Suite with the 50% SWITCH offer and will move over during the slow period around Xmas.

I downloaded the trial version of HD Converter.
It certainly works. The downside is this means archiving everything as Apple ProRes (fortunately I can use ProRes LT) which takes up extra hard drive space, also it’s fairly slow.Next experiment is to record as m2t files on my Firestore and see if Clipwrap fixes it.

If you have FCP 6 installed you should already have the codecs for ProRes that it can use installed too. When converting your HDV files to ProRes use the 422 version of ProRes (which is SQ).
Also don’t let Quicktime 7.6 upgrade any further (to QT 7.7) it’ll create the same problem (not that it makes any difference to you now).

Yes that’s right. FCP6 won’t handle the LT or 4444 versions. I think in FCP6 SQ was just called Apple ProRes.

I tried uninstalling iTunes with MacKeeper, then re-installing version 9.? from my 10.6 install disc. Then downloaded and installed iTunes 10.3. This didn’t fix the problem with the HDV files.
VLC is the only app I’ve got that will open them.

It’s iTunes 10.5 update that’s caused it. Working on a cloned boot drive myself to get an urgent job for a new client completed by Monday.
Then I’ll do my third complete system re-install this year. Last one was when QT 7.7 did the same thing a couple of months back.
Can’t run a professional business like this. Seriously considering buying Adobe Production Suite before the end of the week to get the SWITCH bonus.

Export a Quicktime self contained movie with current settings.
Use compressor to convert the exported movie to the new settings.
