QuickTime died after ProApps QT Codecs update to 1.03. Help

I just want to say thank you thank you thank you to the person who figured out the problem and posted the solution. You are a genius and you just saved my week!!

It is, indeed, the HDV file that is the problem, but you can also solve the issue by reverting to an earlier version if you have it available.

I have FCP 7 on an older computer and simply replaced this one file, and my XD Cam footage was back online.

so glad yo have found this. I had a meltdown today. I have a load of HDV files exported by FCP 7 in 2011, 2012, that play with a black screen. Obviously a codec problem. Interestingly I also have HDV files made this year that WILL play ?? As it looks like I'll have to find and replace this file as identified by rejj my problem is where can I get a copy that isn't updated. ?

peter stephen: read previous posts ... StevenEsqTwo2 and makbookpro offer suggestions.

Hello,

I have the same problem.

I change AppleHDVCodec.component from my macbook pro, and perfect!

Thank you!!!!

I´m sorry, i can insert the component in this message...

OK got that, thanks, I'll try ity in the morning with a clear head.

Hello,

Finally, i copy all the quicktime library from my macbook pro.

Only with AppleHDVCodec.component doesn´t work 100% perfect.

I can´t believe how apple do this mistake....

Well I didn't do and re-instals etc, simply drilled down into my FCP backup with Pacifist and lifted the HDVCodec and dropped it into the quicktime folder, loggerd out and in again ans so far HAPPY DAYS. Thanks a milliuon lads

Hey Everyone, here is a yousendit link to the HDV codec that you all need. It goes in your HD>Library>Quicktime folder.

Now i can back to work!!!

Please help. I am at the end of my rope with this.

I recently updated my ios to 10.6.8 and from what I remember, it made me updated Quicktime and Itunes (?) . . . this was all just so I could put music on my stupid Iphone.

Then I went into FCP7 today (regular 7...i still can't find a link to download 7.0.3) and I could *SEE* the XF files (Canon XF100) but non of them would 'log and transfer' into .AVI files.

Frustrated, I began to re-download everything. The XF utility, etc. I believe I downloaded this dreaded program you all speak of in the process.

THEN, *NOTHING* would work. I could put the XF files into log and transfer, but theyd only play for 2 seconds, and theyd be black.

Then I found this thread. I downloaded the HDV file you all speak of, and it did nothing.

HOWEVER, the "PerianXDcam" file *DOES* work! I was elated, but then, to my dismay, FCP7 keeps crashing. I can encode about 6 seconds of videos, but when I try to move to something else, or play them in 'log and transfer', crash crash crash. This never happened before.

ALL I HAVE in the library folder of Quicktime is now this "persianxdcam" .... (i don't even think the XF100's are XD format?)

I don't have my original disc, and I don't have my original FCP7 disk!

Am I screwed? Why is it crashing so much?

Could someone ZIP me their Library folder?

This is my info.

FCP7 (there are no .x.x after it)

Canon XF100 (w/ XF100 FCP plugin)

ios 10.6.8

HELP!!!!!! I'm gonna beat up a wall! 🙂

birdman's solution worked for me, thanks!

I'm on the same boat as Gonzo. I thought the perian install would work and it plays them fine but in final cut when I try to export anything it gives me a "General Error". Tried removing the perian files and adding the HDV codec in the yousendit link posted above but now I get an out of memory error when I try to open hdv in final cut 😟 I only messed with this component folder so maybe some other file in here is causing issues? If someone could just zip up their whole components folder like Gonzo said that would be real helpful! Never update your mac software!!!

Hi guys, I feel for you all as this issue still hasn't been resolved, which is really naughty of Apple to leave professionals high and dry without a solution for such a long period of time. Following on from my discussion during my initial post, they still haven't done anything and as you can see, then issue isn't going away. The day after I posted this, with the Perian fix, I copied all the files from my office macpro running 10.6.8 and FCP 7.0.3 into my C:\Library\QuickTime folder and FCP could then export and save in the XDCAN format.

This link will only last 14 days, but I hope will help a few of you with issues upgrading to ApplePro_Quicktime Codec pack 1.0.3. The issue I had was ALL my Sony XDCAM EX footage wouldn't play back (black screen with audio). The Perian link I found works on playback, but doesn't work on FCP encode out, so if your timeline is XDCAM, then you're in trouble.
