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

 

Since only 0.0001 % of the world population has a potential use for it, it's not hip, it will not make fast money.

So Apple killed perfectly good technology for no other reason than that other markets are more interesting. (it's not that we don't  pay good money for the software we want / need.)
To all Apple fanboys, get over it, Apple is NOT your friend. (They proved it by making FCP X NOT downwards compatible, screwing everybody in the Pro market.)

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.
