• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

so heres the story, i imported some mxf footage in final cut pro on my mac 10.6.2 (snow leopard), and saved it as quicktime and transfered them to an external HDD. Now the editor has 10.4.8(tiger) mac and when he tries to view the footage final cut comes up but nothing shows up on the timeline and it wont open up in quicktime on his mac. Is it because his mac is outdated?

In a nutshell, yes.

He can update to 10.4.11 (and should have done so ages ago!) and run a more recent version of QuickTime (and again, should have done this ages ago), and you can help by re-outputting the file using older codec settings (for example, DV format rather than QuickTime, though of course the resulting file will be larger -- but at least it will be lossless rather than the lossy footage you are trying to give him).

You've got DVCPRO-HD footage, in QT format, nothing wrong with it. But he'll need FCP 5 or later to see it.
