thanks loads for the tips folks!
the H264 playback issue makes sense
i did some test exports to DV-DVCPRO-NTSC in the meantime (following another
friend's advice), progressive & with deinterlacing
& they played back aok on the mac, in quicktime, with no interlacing

As far as I can tell, if you are providing files to be shown at a
festival or event, the only chance you have of getting an image on

If QT can't play the files, that could either be an issue with the codec per
se, or your Mac not being equipped with the extra widgets needed to handle the
headers of PC-based containers

H.264 is actually your best option for festivals. The contrast issue
is a bug in some versions of Quicktime and V
