Help!!! .mov files from Jvc hd200 and fcp5? is it possible?!!

[Chris Yule]

Hello all,

I am editing on a powerbook G4 running FCP 5.0.4. I have HD 720p footage from the harddrive a JVC GY HD200 that i need to edit. I know my versionof final cut can't hand the hd footage, but ihvave used programs like VoltaicHD and Mpeg Streamclip in the past to convert avchd files to types i can work with. But those aren't working here.

I just keep getting audio with either just white blank video, a black blank video, or no video at all. The files say they are .mov but i can't find anything that will play or convert them HELP PLEASE!!!

Post more info about your source mov. What video and audio codec? Try mediainfo.

it's an HDV cam. recorded in 720 60p. you probably need to convert to apple pro res 4:2:2 if fcp5 can use it.

Yeah basically i'm looking for a program that will convert it. Mpeg streamclip and VoltaicHD both are coming up with files that have audio but the video is just a blank black or white screen.

anyone know any other programs that may work on my powerbook g4?
