Re: [Avid-L2] Re: ABVB QuickTimes

Terry, I managed to get Sheep Saver running and then that OS 9.1 system you linked to allows me to open my movies (after installing the Avid Codec)!

My triumphant tweet, with screenshot...

Next up: figure out how to transcode. I don't know where my old QuickTime Pro 4 registration code is. How did you get past this Terry?

Actually, I made a mistake.

Pre MC 3.0 for Windows supported Avid ABVB but only in OMF format. Wes needs QT MooV support, which requires the OS 9 codec if I remember correctly.

Is that something that can be broken out of the installer using "show package content" or are they accessible in a sub folder. I do think I have an Avid 2.7 ish disk somewhere.at home.

You need pre MC 3.0. The QT package in that one supported ABVB playback.

Tried with VLC with the same codecs that don't work with QuickTime. And as expected the movie doesn't open. Trying older codecs now.

Out of curiosity,
does VLC or MPEG Streamclip open them?

No, Adobe products won't be able to open these files. Thanks. :-)

Don't have the codecs but have you tried the Adobe products? I hear they can play virtually anything. Maybe Adobe customer support could help with your plight? ;-)

I have some old ABVB QuickTime files (with .MooV extenstions even!) that I cannot open.

I know OS X never got the ABVB codecs, but what version of the codecs can I install in Windows XP (virtual machine) to read these files? I renamed the files to have .mov extensions and I have tried codec versions 2.3.8 and 2.2.1 but I'm guessing ABVB is gone from them. ABVB isn't listed in the specs anymore.

I keep getting error -2048: Couldn't open the file because it is not a file that QuickTime understands.

Anyone have the ability to read ABVB QuickTimes or have a codec I can install?

Thank you!
