Quicktime X crushing blacks bug

[squig]

I've found a bug in Quicktime X, it's crushing the blacks on the H.264 files out of the MKII and I presume the 7D too. Quicktime 7 can be installed and run in snow leopard and it doesn't crush blacks. I've reported the bug to Matt over at cinema 5D, he's a quicktime beta tester. Prores/fcp still only relies on quicktime 7 so the bug isn't a problem for editing and rendering.

if you transcode your footage into prores422 HQ the information in the blacks come back amazingly.

Yeah it's only an issue if you're previewing footage in quicktime X. prores files and fcp previews are not affected if you're running snow leopard.
