Firestore files--Qt & m2t?????
I have a firestore FSC connected to Canon XH A1. Recorded
a few clips in Quicktime and m2t and downloaded to Mac Pro desktop, but Final Cut Express and Quicktime player will not open the QT clips. Getting a window in Quicktime player that says that I need a QT component to open the m2t files. Would someone be kind enough to help me with this. Thanks.

Probably a quicktime codec issue with your computer. Try downloading the latest drivers and codecs. It also may be that the express version does not support the files, only the studio version. I would ask over in the Final Cut forum....

fce and qt and m2t files
Charles, FCE does not support hd files, but you can shoot in sd and it works well. FCP 6 will support m2t files, but not until you get a plug in from sony that will convert those files, and they are still working on it, as I understand it. I always use qt files, and have not had any problems. The m2t files need a conversion possibly through something called streamclip, a free software program I believe.

Thanks so much for your reply. Since I am new to the video, all of this
conversion stuff is really hard to grasp, plus many more steps in post production. As you know the Firestore records in QT and m2t. I was able to open the m2t files with StreamClip, but have not found a way to open the.mov files. I downloaded the QT MPEG-2 reader in hopes that it would open the mov files. This didn't work either. I have read that these files don't work too well with a Mac. I have a Mac Pro and a PC. Downloaded trial version of Sony Vegas and could open m2t files with it. Since I prefer shooting in HD so I really need to find out how to open the .mov and m2t files. Thanks again for your interest. Charles Dodd |

Any updates on this matter? I'm running into the same issue with FCS2 and Quicktime. Bummer. Apple should add this feature.

I can record in mT2 files on my Firestore FS-4ProHD and convert them via MPEG Streamclip to QT files though it does take quite a while for large files. But like others, I get that silly message about a component missing when I try to record as QT on the FireStore and open the files on my Macs. Seems to me that it's a problem with the FiresStore and it's QuickTime codec. |
