    I have a small 1 minute HD clip that was produced for a client of mine. It is currently a .mov file. I had planned to convert it to Flash video for use on the web, but I can't even get Quicktime Player 10 or 7 to play this video. I can with VLC. I only have iMovie, and it can't open it, nor can the Adobe Media converter

    Quicktime's error sends me to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3523

    Which suggest it is a Apple Intermediate Codec. And below is the video info "MediaInfo Mac" shows me.

    I would go back to the company that shot the video but it took 3 months to get the clip I have.

    So is there anything that can convert this into usable format, so I can play it with QT and I can finally convert it to Flash Video.

    Try mpeg streamclip, avidemux or handbrake. And convert it to mp4 with h264 video and aac audio, it's supported by flash.

    FourCC 'hdv2' means Apple HDV 1080i60. You need AppleHDVCodec component installed with Final Cut Pro. VideoSpec would have given you this info.

    Yep thats what apple support article said.

    So is there no way to work with the file without Final Cut Pro?

  7. try this codec (it's a perian hacked codec) http://blog.lib.umn.edu/mcfa0086/discretecosine/PerianHDV.component.zip
    you could display your HDV inside QuickTime BUT QuickTime is a pain with interlaced anamorphous stream (like your HDV ). Result should be mess up = mixed fields (but for a flash video with a little size, it should be OK)

    bye

    Edit: this codec seems not compatible with the new Perian1.2, so activate it only depending on your needs (personnally I use Diablotin to enble/disable quickTime codecs http://s.sudre.free.fr/Software/files/diablotin.dmg.gz)
    For DVD, iPad, HD, connected TV, … iMovie & FCPX? MovieConverter-Studio 3 (01/24/2015) - Handle your camcorder's videos? even in 60p or 60i? do a slow-motion? MovieCam.
