problem!! need help asap!

I have a sequence edited in sony vegas and i want to render it out, then move the file to a mac and convert it via compressor? are there any compression formats that would allow this?
the quicktime option is not working? or maybe i am using the wrong compression type?

please help!

Why not render to plain uncompressed .avi? I'd have thought that would be least likely to have compatibility issues.

 

[chrismagicc]

does compressor support .avi?

I believe Mac's can read Avi's but in compressor I'm not sure. Export a short clip to test.

You could also export an uncompressed avi then use Quicktime player on the Pc to export a quicktime to use on the Mac. Or use Mpegstreamclip with the uncompressed avi.

What is wrong with your Quicktime option in Vegas? Is it erroring out?

Best,
Andy
