Quikctime wont play HDV 1080i videos?

[Hep Greg]

so i exported some clips in 1080i format, and they wont play in quicktime (sound plays, video doesnt). any ideas which plugins/updates i need for quikctime for them to play?

i edit/capture/export with final cut pro.

Quicktime Pro. Try using VLC as an alternative.

Try using VLC

and/or Media Player Classic.

MPC is always the best thing to use when playing HD videos.

Yeah k lite codec pack+MPC is bomb. I always put that on everyone computer i fix.

edit: hes on mac though so that won't happen.

i have VLC, i was just wondering if the file was messed up, or if its ust quicktime that doesnt work with it. but thanks, i guess ill use VLC from now on.
