Viewing P2 Quicktimes Without Final Cut

[strike_anywhere]

Hello all - I have footage shot with the HVX and imported straight off the p2Cards with Final Cut, the only form of this footage that I have exists as the quicktimes generated by FCP on an external Lacie drive.

However, I have somebody attempting to view the footage on a G4 running Panther, without Final Cut Installed. Their quicktime is up to date, but all they get when playing a clip is a white screen over the audio.

So I guess it's a codec issue - can you download a stand-alone update for quicktime that allows you to view quicktime media originated with P2 on a computer without Final Cut?

Any help appreciated!

the answer is no. Your pal needs FCP, or you need to export a QT in a codec he can see.

What the need is the DVCProHD codec, which FCP installs in versions that include it.

There's a helpful installer available from our Support page that will extract and install just the DVCProHD codecs from FCP 5 disks if you don't need, want, or otherwise can't run the full FCP installation (such as low end Macs).
