Apple releases Apple ProRes QuickTime Decoder 1.0 for Mac and Windows

Thursday, August 28, 2008 - 11:58 PM EST

Apple today released the Apple ProRes QuickTime Decoder 1.0 for Mac and Windows.

The Apple ProRes QuickTime Decoder software allows both Mac and Windows users to play Apple ProRes files through QuickTime. Apple ProRes is a visually lossless format that provides uncompressed HD quality at SD data rates.

It is an excellent choice for mastering and can easily be transcoded to distribution formats like H.264. With new support for playback on both Mac and Windows computers, Apple ProRes can also be used for review and approval of Final Cut Studio sequences.

Hmmm... I wonder if there is something to be read from this in way of HD iTunes movies.

No, it's intermediate editing format with file sizes way too big for web delivery.

Is this a replacement for Pixlet, or did they just rename it?

Wow, Quicktime feels snappier, and I haven't even run it yet.

Why not include it in a general Quicktime update??? why separately eh? eh? tell me that, tell me.

Aug 29, 08 - 08:42 am Comment from: Predrag

It isn't required for quicktime to work properly, and, much like the MPEG-2 playback component, it is available to those who need it (although MPEG-2 playback component costs money).

If you don't forsee the need for it, you don't need to install it.

Aug 29, 08 - 08:58 am Comment from: include

Unless it costs money, or is a very large codec, I wonder why Apple wouldn't include it by default in Quicktime. As Predrag mentioned, the mpeg2 costs money which is why it is not included. (Royalties, man!) So why not include this new one and increase its proliferation?

@include,
Maybe they will your name some day with it.
