Re: [Avid-L2] DV PAL Quick Time on Apple vs. Windows 7

Just guessing,..lDV (Pal and NTSC) have a quality setting in the QuickTime
inspector. This was there to help playback in systems that were
underpowered in DV's heyday about a decade ago. Pretty useless these days.
Your Windows system might be reading that High Quality is not checked.

AMA Might be smart enough to ignore the Quality setting.
