Re: [Avid-L2] OT - Quicktime Player Pro & anomalies

Am I right in thinking this "high quality render " does not exist in the regular Qt player? (don't see any prefs in the reg player) I see this pref in Qt 7-Pro but as I said, there my playback is beautiful *without* this pref being checked.

Thanks,

Paul
