Re: [Avid-L2] Will QT X play QT reference .movs?

 

QuickTime X does not support reference movies at all and must convert them to a self contained file. 

I'd move away from reference files when possible, because eventually QuickTime 7 is going to break.  Its on borrowed time.

Just for the heck of it I tried to open a ProResHQ QT reference .mov in QT X and it starts converting.  I can open the self contained version of the .mov I've made with QT 7 without QT X converting.  Given the video essence is ProResHQ which appears to play nice with QT X my conclusion is QT X does not support QT Reference .movs.  Can anyone confirm this.

I virtually never use QT X but have found several clients only have QT X so I need to maintain file compatibility.  Of course I wouldn't send a client a QT Ref .mov but I'm curious to know exactly why QT X choices to convert a ProResHQ QT Ref when I try to open it.

No big problem here but the majority of my googles just result in links to QT converter software.
