DVCPro HD in Quicktime

Hey i recently captured some DVCPRO HD 1080I60 footage and then outputted it to an external hard drive so others can view it. The other system is a mac, but doesn't have FCP and cant open the DVCpro codec. I can only seem to find decoders that will work on PC's if anyone has any suggestions would be very grateful.

Shane's Stock Answer #48 - Cannot view DVCPRO HD, HDV or ProRes QT files on your computer.
The DVCPRO HD, HDV and ProRes codecs only comes with FCP. If your computer does not have FCP installed, it cannot view these quicktime files. It doesn't matter if it is a Mac or PC, without FCP installed, you cannot view these files.
If you need to view ProRes material, you can download the ProRes decoder (mac and windows compatible) for ProRes

If your footage was captured as DVCRO HD you can buy the Calibrated DVCPRO HD decoder:

HDV, XDCAM? Calibrated has you covered too:

If you have MXF files from a P2 camera and you need to view the footage on a computer without FCP, you can download P2CMS from Panasonic:

Or you need the other party to compress the footage into a format your computer can play, like H.264.

  • DVCPRO HD and Quicktime 7.4

    Hello,
    I have a Quicktime file encoded with DVCPRO HD codec.
    I tried to view it with Quicktime but it could only play the audio but couldn't show the video.
    I don't have FCP installed on this machine. Does it mean I can't watch any file with DVCPRO HD codec?
    Please adise...
    Thank you,
    Ofir

    To watch the DVCPRO HD encoded QT file, you need to have FCP installed. You might see if installing P2CMS will get you this too. I'm not sure, as both my Macs have FCP installed.

  • DVCPRO HD and QuickTime Player 7.6.6 (1709) Pro

    1. A video production company gave us 500 GB of .mov files with the DVCPRO HD codec.
    2. QuickTime Player 7.6.6 (1709) Pro does not read the files. It gives this error message:
    "The document "BEFORE-A1" could not be opened. A required codec isn't available."
    I read the 2010 thread on "Cannot play a .mov file on quicktime" and I'm wondering if one of these plugins will work from this web address:
    DivX
    Streambox
    Autodesk
    Flip4Mac
    Glue Tools
    MXF4Mac
    Please help. Thanks

    Don't know about those that you have listed. The codec DVCPro is part of the package installed when you purchase Final Cut Pro. But it looks like there's aftermarket providers of these codecs one of them being this company:
    http://www.calibratedsoftware.com/store/MacOSXIndividualStore.asp
    You might also ask if the video production company could send you a zip file of the codec from one of their Final Cut workstations. We had similar situation where I work only the production company was usinga NewTek video codec (SQ2). We had to beg them for the installer which they put up on a website temporarily and we downloaded it. We had no other way to view and transcode without that original codec.

  • View dvcPRO-HD with quicktime?

    Hello,
    I am editing a project in dvcpro hd, I copied all of the media to a second drive as a backup.
    My director wants to take that drive and view the files with quicktime on her g4 laptop.
    Is it possible to view dvcpro hd quicktimes on a computer that doesn't have fcp on it?
    Would it work to copy the codecs out of my quicktime library into hers?
    Thanks much for any info.

    You can't view the DVCProHD files without the codecs provided with FCP... AFAIK, they are all that is required.

  • DVCPRO 50 and Quicktime

    Is the DVCPRO 50 codec part of the QT codec line up for Mac and windows? Or is it only part of FCP?
    -Lars

    Only part of FCP as I understand it. But the codecs might be downloadable from the Panasonic site.

  • Problem exporting Quicktime Mov with Premiere / Media Encoder

    I have a MOV-file which has been exported from Final Cut. I imported and edited it in Premiere CS 5.5 and then tried to export again to Quicktime Mov. Problem is that the output looks terrible. There is some kind of "Motion bluriness" or fuzziness in the video and looks like there is a maybe "frame rate problem".

  • IDVD doesn't work with DVCpro HD?

    Hi,
    I've been trying to import a DVCpro HD quicktime movie exported from Final Cut Pro 5 onto iDVD 7 but all I get is a white screen when I preview it. I've also burned a dvd and get a green screen when the movie is played. I would like to know if iDVD supports the DVCpro format or is it simply a software version compatibility problem. One more thing - I also get a white screen when viewing the dvcpro file in quicktime. To solve that problem I've checked the 'Open using Rosetta' option in the quicktime application info. Thanks

    usage of DVDSP doesn't improve compatibilty.. standards is standards..
    what you could do...:
    use different brand of media, Verbatim is my suggestions..
    and, tell iDVD to create an 'image' first, than use DiskUtility or Toast to create a videoDVD form that image, burn speed 2 - 4x ...
    PS: NEVER trust what a client tells you..
    when your DVDstandalone plays the disk, the problem sits in front of a PC, not a Mac..

  • Best practices for Edit Proxies in Final Cut Server?

    We just bought Final Cut Server, and for the most part are pretty happy with the product. We are a small production facility, and primarily work with DVCPro HD footage at 720P. One feature we'd like to use would be the edit proxies feature in FCS, but they don't seem to be working for us.
    _Hosting Computer_
    We're using a mac mini server with snow leopard server and final cut server 1.5.
    Problem
    Whenever we specify in the Administrator Pane of FCS, Under Preferences and Analyze, we'd like to use a custom transcode setting for the edit proxies, keeping Frame Size, TC, and Frame rate the same, but changing the codec to h264 least quality, the effects are a different compression than expected. We tested out the compression settings using Compressor on the server, and we get the desired results:
    Input: DVCPro HD 720P Quicktime 960X720 (1248 x 702) 23.98 fps
    Output: H264 Quicktime 960X720 (1248 x 702) 23.98 fps
    Also did the same outputs using Apple Prorez, Photo Jpeg and got the following outputs:
    Output: Apple Prorez Quicktime 960X720 (1248 x 702) 23.98 fps
    Output: Photo Jpeg Quicktime 960X720 (1248 x 702) 23.98 fps
    (We also made new transcode settings for these compressor settings and we not able to control the compressions through FCS with these settings as well. Our target codec is H264.)
    After connecting the new compression settings on the Mac Mini Server to a new transcode setting in the FCS Admin Pane, we restarted the Java Client, logged in to FCS as an FCSadmin, opened the Admin Pane, and under preferences/analyze change the edit proxy setting to the New H264 setting that worked perfectly when using Compressor. After uploading a final cut project, with one associated media file (DVCPro HD 720P Quicktime 960X720 (1248 x 702) 23.98 fps), the resulting edit proxy did not match the specification: 384 x 216, 23.98fps, TC matches source.
    Also did not dynamically connect when checking out the project from FCS and selecting edit proxies and keep media with project and saving to the desktop.
    Question 1:
    Does anyone have any best practice transcode setting(s) to create for DVCPro HD 720P using edit proxies that dynamically connect and are smaller size than the original? H264? Photo Jpeg?
    Question 2:
    Why is Final Cut Server's Compressor giving a different output, when the same settings work well with just Compressor?
    Question 3:
    Does H264 work in creating dynamically linking edit proxies (ie, no need to reconnect)?
    I can imagine this information to be very useful to the community, so any input or solutions will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    H.264 is a puzzling choice of codec for edit proxies. H.264 is not an edit-friendly codec since it is a complex long-GOP structure and will require a ton of rendering just to play back the timeline. ProRES 422 Proxy would be a much better choice for editing. I'm afraid I can't account for the differences between Compressor and FCServer in this case, but my gut tells me the non-I-frame codec you are trying to use for edit proxies might have something to do with it. Maybe for an edit-proxy workflow to operate properly on the server-side the codec must be I-frame? Is there any reason you do not want to use ProRES 422 Proxy? They are about 1/3 the footprint of 720p24 DVCPRO-HD, which is already very efficient. For that frame rate and frame size they would be roughly half the heft of good ol' DV25.
    So my answer to all three questions would be to try ProRES 422 Proxy for your edit proxies and see if everything lines up.

  • HD NTSC to PAL Debacle

    Dear Compression sages,
    I'm attempting to convert my NTSC DVCpro HD 720 Quicktime to PAL to make a PAL DVD in DVDSP. So I need a PAL mpeg2. My trouble starts here.
    In compression I followed all the settings to convert to PAL. The resulting mpeg was a little rough in terms of quality, but it was the best I could get it. It seemed to play alright.
    But to my horror when I dropped the clip into the DVDSP timeline I discovered that all the subtitles I had made in my NTSC DVDSP project gradually went out of sync. The DVDSP project had been fully converted to PAL, every menu. But this gradual de-syncing of the subtitles confused me. And this is not the kind of project that I can easily move the subtitles over. 26 min, heavy on the lines, 5 subtitle tracks.
    I checked the audio sync and it seemed to be in sync, but I couldn't be clinically certain frames weren't being dropped towards the end. I did some research and discovered that many people had been having trouble with conversions from NTSC to PAL. Out of sync audio issues, frames being dropped, etc.
    In desperation I consulted a friend, who recommended I use a FCP plug-in to do the conversion called Nattress Standards Conversion. He said he had had frame dropping issues with other transfers, but that the NSD plug-in had worked great.
    I downloaded the plug-in, and attempted to follow the instructions (bellow) only to find that on step 9, it did not recognize the proper aspect ratio of my HD footage, giving me 4:3 instead of 6:9. I tried switching a few settings, but to no avail. Everytime I dragged and dropped the origional source clip into the filter interface the clip in the viewer altered to 4:3 ratio. Blast, I thought. Probably some little setting I will never discover.
    So here I am, back on the compression forums. Has anyone successfully used compressor to convert NTSC HD to PAL without getting drop frames or subtitles gradually going out of sync? How on earth do I do this conversion without horrific results?
    NTSC to PAL conversion for Nattress:
    1. edit the NTSC clip to an PAL timeline
    2. nest the NTSC clip to allow the plugin to scale the converted clip. Because the pixel
    dimensions of NTSC video are smaller than PAL, the clip will appear shrunk down in
    the timeline canvas viewer. This is normal. The nesting of the clip will allow the
    plugin to correctly scale it to PAL pixel dimensions. (select clip and go to the Se-
    quence Menu and select Nest Items - make sure the pixels dimensions of the nest
    are PAL sized)
    3. apply the G Converter plugin to the nested sequence in the PAL timeline. Make sure
    the plugin goes onto the nest itself, not the clip that it contains.
    4. open the nest in the viewer (control click on the nest and select "Open in viewer" or
    select nest then press return)
    5. select the filter tab in the viewer
    6. set the correct settings for the desired conversion. In this case, we select Source
    Pixel size to be 720 x 480 (NTSC), lower field order for source (in this case a NTSC
    DV clip) and destination (PAL DV timeline).
    7. if you desire the PAL output to be de-interlaced, this can be performed in one step by
    selecting progressive output
    8. if you would like to experiment with the conversion algorithm using "Smart De-
    Interlacing" then this can be selected in the De-Interlace options. The Tolerance
    control affects the smart de-interlace and it's effects can be seen by selecting "View
    Smart Mask" in the De-Interlace Options.
    9. the original NTSC clip that was edited to the PAL timeline must now be dropped from
    the project browser onto the Source Clip image well in the filter. The plugin will use
    this video clip for all the image data for the conversion. This is the important step
    that makes this plugin different from any other, and is vital to it's successful operation.

    I downloaded the plug-in, and attempted to follow the instructions (bellow) only to find that on step 9, it did not recognize the proper aspect ratio of my HD footage, giving me 4:3 instead of 6:9. I tried switching a few settings, but to no avail. Everytime I dragged and dropped the origional source clip into the filter interface the clip in the viewer altered to 4:3 ratio. Blast, I thought. Probably some little setting I will never discover.
    Email Graeme Nattress with your problem. He does a good job supporting his plugins.

  • Freeze up during clip capture with random change of in and out points

    Having BIG problems capturing DV footage which began late last Fall. While performing a capture (assigned clips) footage would go down for a few seconds then would freeze (picture only, the audio continued) then after several seconds the picture would "catch up" and continue.
    Found a solution here in the FCP forum where I had my firewire drives "ignored" by SPOTLIGHT by listing them in the privacy selection. Worked and moved on.
    I have a project now where the problem has come up again. Once again during a clip capture it did what it did before - but now it ignores the assigned in point (audio but no video and almost consistently delaying it by 9 seconds into the capture) then freezes (at the assigned outpoint - sometimes) then continues to play on (audio only) then resumes (again catching up) then stops announcing a SUCCESSFUL CAPTURE. When the clip is selected to preview it plays back from the incorrect in point, freezes, then plays until the catch up - with now the audio out of sync. More craziness because now the log information now has changed: the MEDIA START & END information is not what was inputed so the DURATION TIME is now different and sometimes it adds a MARK OUT point (!?). I rarely use the CAPTURE NOW function but even trying that the footage still freezes up and goes out of sync.
    I worked the SPOTLIGHT routine again with no change. Have completely optimized my system drive and external hard drives using DISKWARRIOR 4.1
    I accept all the auto software up dates that come through UPDATER and see that I received a updated Quicktime version 7.5 on 13 June 08. I also noticed that I don't have CLASSIC OS 9 supported and seemed to have read here about something about FIREWIRE DRIVERS that maybe missing?
    Was thinking of upgrading to 10.5 to see if that helps - but unsure about my FCP version/compatability...
    So, here I sit frustrated since I have used FCP (which I LOVE) for quite a few years with great success - this is crazy! OF course, I have a project which deadline is looming!
    Any ideas?
    Much appreciation..
    Here's my computer stats:
    G4 Powerbook
    OS 10.4.11
    FCP 5.0.4
    QT 7.5
    Sony DSR-11 recorder/player
    4-Firewire Drives with 20gigs of space available

    So far have done a workaround to digitize my DV elements through iMovie. Not pretty. I string together the selected/import clips (in this case from interviews), assemble them in sequential order on the time line with small breaks of black in between, then export the timeline as DVCPRO/DV-NTSC quicktime file. Take that file into my FCP then segment out the clips on the time line, make each segment an independent clip so that I can name them. Not pretty but it works - miss having the logging data going through FCP log and capture.
    Still waiting for any other solution to my situation - thanks!

  • FCP 6 performance slow

    I am pretty new to FCP, so I have been dealing with a lot of issues. Basically, I am running through the tutorial DVD and trying to work along with it. I can't seem to get real time playback, as FCP gives me the "Warning - Dropped Frames" dialog. I have a Mac Pro 2.8 8-core with 6GB of RAM, a 300gig stock hard drive and another 250 gig hard drive, with two ATI Radeon HD 2600 cards. I know I got the basic Mac Pro, but what kind of machine do you need to get the performance the dude in the tutorial video is getting? Am I doing something wrong, or is that just all I can expect out of this machine?

    Hi David, thanks for helping. First off, I am not using any tutorial footage, I am just watching tutorials on the DVD that came with FC Studio. I am using my own footage. When I first started, I didn't know about FCP editing codec, so I couldn't even watch my footage in the player without it dropping frames because the footage was from iMovie's .dv codec. So I converted to "DV/DVCPRO - NTSC" with Quicktime, which played very smoothly when bringing into FCP. So I thought I was set. Did a little basic editing and it seemed to work. But now I'm trying to do the scaled second video layer (like a picture-in-picture) from the tutorial, and my machine drops frames. What am I doing wrong?

  • Export adds 200MB to a 13MB clip

    Greetings,
    Unfortunately I have run into a bit of an issue when exporting from CS5. 
    I have trimmed about 10 seconds off a small 14MB Quicktime clip and when I export, as a Quicktime file, it comes out as more than 200MB.
    Am I doing something wrong?  I have completed the same, seemingly, quick and easy process in iMovie and it does not add hundreds of MB's.
    Seems like I shouldnt have to compromise the quality of such a small clip by adjusting settings when my only intention is to shorten it (make it even smaller).
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Cheers,
    Billy

    H.264 video should be supported by your basic Snow Leopard operating system. The DVCPRO HD family of codecs is part of the Apple "Pro" codecs package which is normally installed as part of a "Pro" video editing suite installer or contemporaneously installed separately as part of one of the newer pro editing apps like FCPX. if you already have one of these pro suites or apps installed or available, then re-install the correct codec package that is missing. If not, you will need to purchase a Pro suite or app to be able to install the required codec package.

  • Can Quicktime on a Macbook Pro play DVCpro HD without dropping frames?

    I know this is a cardinal forum sin, but I think I posted this in the wrong place to start.
    Hey All,
    I'm trying to output a 40min DVC Pro Hd 60, 1280x720 video to a projector for a large group. I'm using Quicktime 7.2 at full screen playing back on the second "monitor", but it seems like the video is dropping frames. The playback is stuttering and kind of strobing. This is a new 2.4ghz Macbook Pro with 2gb of Ram. The video is DVC Pro Hd from start to finish.
    Is this to much to ask from a Macbook Pro? Is there another codec with comparable quality that doesn't take overly long to encode that I could use?
    Any suggestions would be appreciated,
    Steve

    Hi
    You absolutely can ... as long as you have the DVC Pro HD codecs installed. I have used a lowly G4 Power Book with 2 GIG on many occasions to playback full screen 720p 24/30 fps from a FW400 drive. (60fps and 1080p might be too much..)
    I just project the desktop through a projector and it looks awesome. It's the fewest compression cycles you can get assuming you shot in DVCPro HD.
    However I too am experiencing choppy playback from QT 7.2 on MacPro's. In fact playback of any format is choppy under QT7.2!
    My MacBook Pro however is fine with the same software...
    Something bad is going on with QT....
