Re: [Avid-L2] Legacy format / legacy quicktime / legacy headache

Update - some surprising success!

Thanks Chip for the suggestion of MPEG Streamclip (last updated in 2012).

We have one older mac in the office that is still running Sierra.

Downloaded and installed the Avid LE codecs and MPEG Streamclip.

I was able to successfully able to open the original Avid QT files and export to ProRes. Hooray.

The quality of the de-interlacing was not great tho, so I will need to do this in a couple of steps.

So now I get to see if JES Deinterlacer runs on this old box...

Thanks again Chip!

MPEG Streamclip can do this.  But that is getting pretty 'long in the tooth', depending on your machine...

Client called up to get a new conversion of an old project - the original was mastered for DVD.

SO...

I have 480i Widescreen master files saved out from 2012 that are Avid Motion JPEG Quicktime. Which is no longer supported under Mac OS... And it seems that I no longer have a machine old enough for conversion... (ugh)

I have a legacy edit project with OMFI and Avid MediaFiles folders. Yay?

The questions are:

1. Does anyone have a third party option to turn Avid MJPEG mov files into ProRes or DNx??

2. Will the current version of Media Composer even be able to open media this old?
