Re: How do I play an HDV file on my laptop?

Thanks for the additional info. When I do an "info" on the video, the format is given as HDV 1080p24, but no codec name beyond that. While I have a lot of codecs (e.g., sheer, lots of others) there is only one HDV flavor to select, which is what the mac uses when capturing HDV. It looks like the PC won't play that, so I guess I'll have to encode in something else, because the PC won't play HDV when it's created on a Mac, having nothing to do with getting the Quicktime codecs into the PC.

If anyone has any other suggestions, am all ears.
