Could this be a free DVCPROHD Codec?

[PhantomVideo]

So the other day im on shining.com to see if there are any updates for
our crappy citidisks when i find three codecs for DVCPROHD for free download

http://www.shining.com/download/firm...ProHDCodec.zip
on this page
http://www.shining.com/support/drivers/

being a user of premiere i thought id give it a whirl as the ADOBE DVCPROHD support that onlocation adds is very slow and doesnt offer a final render option, i would assume that these codecs would be decode only but NO the mainconcept
codec in the zip file let me render out a full 720/25p file (AVI) and in addition was lighting fast in comparison to the Onlocation codec and my limited exprenice with Raylight

Can someone confirm this?, are these legal codecs? am I diluding myself ? i really dont know much and am trying to devlope a workflow for onlocation to delviery in DVCprohd

PPRO CS3 will have direct .mxf supprt in a few weeks, so you dont really need the DVCpro HD codec. unless thats what you want to export to, but for that purpose, you can use the Avid DV100 quicktime codec which is free, or cineform, or raylight avi.

Unless someone gives you DVCProHD footage to work with.

..well it all depends on what codec/format that DVCpro footage is in. nowadays its likely to be in an .mxf/P2 wrapper. or it could be in cineform, Avid DV100, Matrox DVCPROHD, raylight ..ect. but yeah. if it happens to be using the same codec as the one found on that site, you would be able to edit it with it.
