If you have downloaded sample and QT component, please let me know if you have a problem with the files – I was having a helluva time with my iDisk this morning, and ended up having to upload via the idisk web browser interface….

Thanks for any help

Hopefully this helps shed some light on the problem

Well, I have had other prosumer cameras, such as the TVR-900 and FX-1, and you would see which codec was associated with the clip.

The camera is certainly a prosumer camera, based on specs – I’m fully willing to acknolwedge that there may be incompatibilities, and if so, I’ll return it

I’m not a pro, but a long time enthusiast.

Sorry – I’m getting confused with all the variants out there. My rudimentary understanding was that the MPEG2 format employed by JVC (1920×1080) was different than the HDV standard at 1440, and that’s why they supplied a special codec.

Still, none of the HDV settings work…

I’ll be posting a small clip and the codec soon, and let everyone know where to download…

I will try and do that today – I would think one would nee the Quicktime Component installer from JVC too, which I’ll try and post…

But remember, it’s not recorded with HDV compression – my test was “full” HD 1920 x 1080 using the CBR MPEG2 recording mode – allegedly, the Quicktime Component provided by JVC that I installed should allow me to work with this format natively (if in limited fashion, though this limitation is not defined)

But I don’t see a Compressor choice in the Sequence settings that correlates to the component I just installed.

Thanks – if I can’t get this to work after speaking with JVC, the camera will go back – included software is not doing what it’s supposed to do.

I think what is key is that I would expect to see a new codec added to the list in FCP (and iMove) for that matter, for the applications to be able to correctly recognize it. Further, what’s odd is under a clips Item Properties in FCP, the CODEC entry is blank – FCP is not interpreting what it is….

Right – seemed to be converted to HDV actually – it was a “HD”, but not the original format

That’s where my problem lies, I think – I don’t see a code to match in the sequence settings menu (nothing that refers to MPEG2 or the TOD extension on the transferred files…

MPEG Streamclip won’t open the file – gives me an error that it’s not valid….
