Apple releases ProRes Quicktime decoder 1.0

About Apple ProRes QuickTime Decoder 1.0 for Mac

The Apple ProRes QuickTime Decoder software allows both Mac and Windows users to play Apple ProRes files through QuickTime. Apple ProRes is a visually lossless format that provides uncompressed HD quality at SD data rates.

It is an excellent choice for mastering and can easily be transcoded to distribution formats like H.264. With new support for playback on both Mac and Windows computers, Apple ProRes can also be used for review and approval of Final Cut Studio sequences.

When life gives you dilemmas...make dilemmanade.

...wait...question...this doesn't make any sense...if this is for Mac (there is only a Mac installer posted), how does it allow PC users to open & see ProRes files? Where's the PC download?

When life gives you dilemmas...make dilemmanade.

So follow me on this one.
You could export a QT as ProRes from FCP;
port it to a Windows PC, and use DVDit and
do a full 1080p Blu-Ray then.

The reason I mention this is I have not been able to
find a Mac DVD authoring software that does 1080p
(Both Toast Ti BD and DVDSP HDDVD are a max res of
1080i)

Anyhow this may be may way around the 1080i barrier.
Thanks for the heads up!
