Hello everybody,

I was wondering if we were the only ones to have unreliable behaviours from QT player.

Here during an editing session one has to kill it and relaunch it very often because it freezes, and even before it freezes it's never playing smoothly.

Considering the (unbelievable! even if i know there are licence fees to be paid...) price to pay to be just able to play QT files in sync with pmx, i would have expected some more reliable behaviour!

It does not really look good to the session payers...

Is it only here, or does anyone else have those problems?

cheers

Michael

Hi maikol,

Sorry, but I never use quicktime player because of:

- The price
- Quicktime don't work really well on windows ( unstable, no overlay .... )

You should just get a key for quicktime pro, so you can export your QT files as AVI and use them with DS video player, which is much more solid....

Maybe you can have a look on "quicktime alternative", but I didn't test it myself

See you soon ( for a beer by edward and son ?? )

Yes that was funny to meet you there!

Thanks for your answer Jerome...

I'm currently using QT alternative (i swapped to it hoping that QT player would work better... ), and AFAIK it doesn't do the conversion to AVI.

You're probably right, I should get QT pro, using DS player is really better (I even managed to make it work with ffdshow to post process the video flow and boost the picture quality! upscaling and sharpening power! )


But hell, i paid more than 450€ (8O) for that QT player key, why is it so unusable???

cheers

Don't know, but at least it should be a free option. But you surely know that there are some others keys at merging which don't worth some hundred of dollars ( It seems to me that you tried PT5 import.... )

Talk soon,

Jerome

Well, at least PT5 import worked pretty well for me, even if it was too expensive...

cheers Jerome!
