Not sure if this response will be of much help.


Can confirm that the Mac version of the DXV3 codec is compatible with QT 7 Pro player software operating under Sierra OS. Since you indicate you are operating under Windows 7, assume by "the latest version of QT," you are referring to the QT 7 Player app but you failed to indicate whether or not the software is keyed for "Pro" use or not, whether it is your system or the QT app issuing the "Not Found" error, where Windows stores user installed codecs, and/or if the correct codec package was downloaded/installed on your system.


Since the DXV3 codec is compatible with QT 7 on a Mac, I would normally assume it should also be compatible with QT 7 installed on a Windows 7 system. Would, therefore, suggest you concentrate your efforts to determine if QT 7 for Windows user codecs are stored in the same location as media codecs for native Windows media players—is the Windows DXV3 codec download stored in the same default location as the QT 7 for Windows codec package?


QTKirk,

Can you address this issue in detail?

I can't find anything about the 4 letters (dxv3) the original poster asked about.

Years ago I did use the DiVX codec with QuickTime Player Pro 6 and 7 but it is tens years out of date.

I did find DVX codec via a Google search and it appears to be Windows only.

Sorry! Should have been more specific. Was wondering if you could add more regarding codec storage locations under Windows (i.e., global Windows codec storage vs QT 7 app codec storage). I thought this issue came up previously when they dropped support for the "alternate" QT 7 for Windows codec package for use with QT 7 Pro/MPEG Streamclip installations.


In any case, DXV3 appears to be a Resolume "high performance," cross-platform, high resolution multilayer, alpha-channel compatible editing codec that selectively supports video card hardware acceleration. Never heard of it before this posting but it seems to be provided as part of Resolume's Arena 5 Media Server and/or Avenue 4 VJ Software packages for Mac OS X. Files encoded with it are QL/QT7 compatible with Sierra OS but convert when opened in QTX. My 608p60 test conversion had a video data rate in the 105-110 Mbps range.
