From: "Tim O'Meara" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: avid quicktime to real? what program are you using to compress to realvideo? i went down the avid/quicktime road a few months ago...here's what i learned. Avid does not export quicktime very well. Audio tracks get reversed and all audio will lose sync after a few seconds. the work around... 1- export audio and video separately. first export a video only quicktime, then export a *stereo* AIFF at 16bit 44.1 kHz 2- use the quicktime playerPRO to make a pointer that re-joins the two files (use the comand key while selecting paste from the menu bar to execute an "add" type paste.) 3- save the file 'normaly', this will make a small (<100k) quicktime pointer that can be read by any quicktime compliant app. i'm using media cleaner 4.0 from terran ( http://www.terran.com ) it does a great job with the real video...and although they don't say they support avid codec's, it works great. if you have a decent pc around, the windows version is blazing fast compared to the mac, and avid has a composer codec plugin for quicktime 4 that works on windows. hope that helps tmo RealForum wrote: > From: "Jerry Hofmann" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: avid quicktime to real? > > Ya know, I talked to Avid yesterday, and they said that they don't support > Real, and Real says they don't support Avid.
