[Jennilyn Merten] "I saw a post about a DVCpro HD codec but will that work without FCP or Avid?"

The DVCProHD codec resides with Quicktime Pro, so if your kids are restricted to using QT Player only they'll get a prompt that QT can't find the playback component. In other words it won't work. Have your students with the Windows laptops download QT Player for Windows. The H.264 codec resides with both Mac and Windows versions of QT Player. You'll have to re-encode your student video files using H.264 and distribute those files. Apple Computer uses H.264 to encode all those cool movie trailers found on their web site.

Hope this helps.
