How to add Quicktime components (Avid) to FCP/Quicktime on Mac

Hello! By recommendation, we are trying to add the Avid compnents/codecs to a FCP system to make it possible to export a Quicktime file with Avid codecs, for opening/output to tape. We've run the package from Avid, but the codecs don't show up in FCP or in Quicktime. What next? Thanks! chris

G4 Silver, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

You should have downloaded them from [here|http://avidtechnology.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/avidtechnology.cfg/php/enduser /popup adp.php?p_sid=1yy5i_6j&p_lva=&p_li=&p_faqid=75079&p_created=1201627416&psp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9zb3J0X2J5PWRmbHQ6MSZwX2dyaWRzb3J0PSZwX3Jvd19jbnQ9MjEzLDIxMyZwX 3Byb2RzPTAmcF9jYXRzPTAmcF9wdj0mcF9jdj0mcF9zZWFyY2hfdHlwZT1hbnN3ZXJzLnNlYXJjaF9ub CZwX3BhZ2U9MSZwX3NlYXJjaF90ZXh0PWNvZGVj]

They need to be in Hard Drive/Library/QuickTime. Do you see them there?
If so, restart your computer.

YOu need to look at the OTHER INSTALLERS on the Avid install DVD and install the PE codecs.

We DID download them from there, and they were in "Lbrary/Quicktime", however they didn't appear, even after restart. We tried moving them to "System/Library/Quicktime", but that didn't help either.

Thanks! chris
