Hi, nice to join the forum

I have a simple problem, which is i can't get a file i created to play back on my computer.

In more detail, at college we use Apple G5 computers and i made a video in Final Cut Pro 4. I saved it as the following:

Format: Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2, 720x576, integer (big endian),
Stereo, 48000Khz, 16 bits

I burnt the file which was almost 900mb on a DVD-R disk, as a data file. When i use the DVD-R in my Windows XP Pro computer, there is no file extension to it, but i open the file with Quicktime Pro 6.5

Surprisingly it doesn't play. Quicktime attempts to download a compressor for it to do so, but it fails to find one upon connection to the internet.

But you guys, you wouldn't believe how important the file is to me. I've left college and i had alot riding on it as it contains my production work that i made. i would be real appreciate if anyone can help me play the file


Thanks

Maybe this is your problem ... you burned it as a data file. Most burned dvd's must be encoded to be able to play. If you have it as a data dvd, try transfering files then use a different program to encode then burn.
