QuickTime and new codecs
I work in vídeo for the entertainment industry and the past few years have seen the arrival of some new and very efficient codecs when it comes to playing obscenely high resolution movies. One such codec is the NOTCH LC. Ironically these movies all use the QT container (.mov) and there is no way of playing back these files in any 64 bit Mac system. More so in the windows platform QuickTime 7 works a treat and plays this - and other gpu specific codecs - perfectly well. I find it tremendously irritating that I have to instal parallels on my M1 and then install QuickTime 7 to be able to play the newest technology out there. How complicated is it to add new playback codecs to QuickTime X? Why isn’t apple doing this?
Does anyone know of any solution that allows macOS to play NOTCH (as well as Hap)? So far other than parallels the only way to see these movies is to load them back into after effects but that is even a bigger faff!
Thank you.
