hey guys, i just exported a quicktime file from final cut pro. the file came out as a HDV 720p24 file and wont play in quicktime on my mbp w/o fcp. So how can i convert this file to play on the mbp without putting fcp on it? playing from the mac pro it was created on is not an option.
Got a tip for us?

Apple's HDV codec only comes w/FCP so you need to use a codec that comes as part of the standard QT package such as h.264 or sorenson 3.

what happen's when you open the quicktime file? Does it keep saying loading?
I think it's because you exported from FCP as a reference movie file and probably moved some files around.
Export again
File>export>quicktime movie
and check the box that says make self contained.
See if that works
