QuickTime died after ProApps QT Codecs update to 1.03. Help

I have NEVER been more grateful for the internet and for the considerate people who post in support forums.

Stupid Apple.

Updates are supposed to be GOOD.

Thank you so much makbookpro. THANK YOU.

I can add to the chorus of applause for this solution. It worked fine for me as well, and I sincerely appreciate all who contributed.

Especially makbookpro!

Thanks for the link.

Utterly surprised that Apple has not fixed this in all this time...

Any chance someone could upload the QuickTime codecs library again.? My hard drive broke and I didn't back it up. Sigh

Has anyone done the 1.0.4 update from this weekend? I let it install on a working Snow Leopard startup disk and it did not break it. Curious to see what other users report. 1.0.4 was supposed to fox the issue that occurred with 1.0.3... Please let me know. Do not update unless you already have a good QT Library folder to which you can revert if there is a problem.

Sorry MaxiBoy1, I've been away over the weekend. Please find the link again to codec pack pre- 1.0.3 update that restores the XDCAM codec. Unfortunately, WeTransfer only lasts 7 days from now, but I hope that the v1.0.4 IanCook_Sony has suggested above that Apple has released will also resolve this XDCAM codec issue. If anyone can confirm this and post here, that would be great. I will complete my edit this week and then upgrade to v1.0.4 and see if this works. As I no longer have the 1.0.3 issue, I cannot check if it resolves the issue, just confirm that it doesn't corrupt the current XDCAM codec pre 1.0.3. I would suggest to anyone having issues to try v1.0.4 Apple Codec pack (skip v1.0.3) and see if this resolves the issue. If not, then I'm happy to keep posting my original Snow Leopard codec pack pre 1.0.3 until we have something solid from Apple.

Good luck guys,

Thanks so much for posting that again makbookpro. Really helpful and kind. You're brilliant!🙂 Interesting IanCook_Sony about the new update. The plot thickens...

As usual, I get no love. I was the first to report the problem and also the first to isolate the solution (even before Apple and Sony). It's okay . . . don't feel bad. I'll just fade into the shadows and drown my sorrows in this In n' Out Double Double. It's a solitary life for us super heros 🙂

Hey StevenEsqTwo I for one send a bucket of appreciation for posting this initial discussion and after discovering the Perian solution on a different forum (http://blog.lib.umn.edu/mcfa0086/discretecosine/164630.html) which only solved the read part of the XDCAM issue, you're post drive me to my Mac Pro with a clean install of Snow Leopard and FCP 7.0.1. I copied these codec files to the folder as suggested by your good self and it worked. I was so stuck by this upgrade (Apple Codec pack 1.0.3) in a work/professional capicily I thought that many others would also benefit from having a fresh codec pack (pre-1.0.3) to download as opposed to a fresh install of FCP/Sony Transfer program. I know this wasn't an option for my MacBook Pro.

Anyhow, any love and thanks that's aimed towards me, feel free to take a chunk of it SteveEsqTwo and keep up the helpful posts, it really saved my edit at the time, which was a 300GB/8-HD-multi-cam 94-minute concert, that I still made the deadline on. I will also be happy to continue active posts with guards anything Apple related, especially for the pro-users.

Cheers,

MAK

Please excuse my ignorance, but how do I replace the quicktime libary on my mac? THanks! I am praying that this solves my issues Im having with my Sony PMW EX1R files not being able to be imported to any editing software.

thanks, but my favorites doesnt have the mac listed or the library. any other way to get there?

I can get to Quicktime Package contents but not sure what to do from there? THere are several folders: codesignature, macos, plugins, resourses, xpcservies. I don't want to delete the wrong folder contents before replacing with the one macbookpro provided. Also I have Maverick 10.9.1, will the quicktime libary snowleopard library still work?

Thanks!!!

Only replace those with the same file name.

Don't delete your old ones, pull them into a folder and set it aside in case you want to get back to where you were.

Not sure about Mavericks ... I'm on Lion and it worked for me. But I was dealing with XDCAM.
