Creating QuickTime reference files out of Avid: Video + Audio in a single reference file possible?

To follow up on my initial post- the Quicktime reference files are failing on playback in the Quicktime player. The video+audio from Avid source is playing fine in Avid. Any suggestions on why the exported Quicktime reference files are producing an error when I try to playback in the Quicktime player would be helpful.

Thanks,

Stuart

Thanks for your question.

I don't need to play them back, but we are having encode failures out of the reference files. Hence, we went back to the reference files to try and trace the cause of the errors.

Encoding from the reference files to MP4 we are encountering three situations:

1. Corrupt files that won't play back at all.

2. Files where the video failed to encode, and we wind up with an audio only file.

3. Files where the video and audio did transcode properly and we have a working file.

Shane, if you're suggesting that by their very nature, QT reference files don't necessarily play back in a player outside of Avid, then perhaps you can suggest a different way to assess why we are having these failures out of Sorenson Squeeze.

Thanks,

Stuart

Thanks All.

One follow up question- is it possible to export a .MP4 out of Avid? It seems the only H.264 option is .MOV
