QuickTime Pro Res on Windows7

I'm trying to do some collaborative work with a filmmaker who is sending me P2 files from an HVX camera which have been converted by Pro Res into .mov files. When I try to play back these files in a Win7 system (Win7 Ultimate, 64-bit, w/24G of RAM) in Quick Time Pro which has the Pro Res codec, I only get the audio. If I drop these files into Vegas Pro 10 I get two tracks of audio and two empty tracks of video. AVI files similarly processed from the HVX work fine in both QuickTime and Vegas on the Win7 system.

Any advice, other than switching to FCP :>) would be appreciated.

I know that there is a free ProRes Windows player for download at the Apple web site but I don't know if this will help with Vegas Pro.

Thanks for the response, Ken. I could not find a ProRes Windows player anywhere on the web, only a ProRes codec for QuickTime Pro 7 which, when I try to install it, my system says I've got a more recent version already installed in my QuickTime player. I can play back the audio but not the video. I'll try digging in a little deeper.

David,

Thanks for the link. I have bookmarked it.

Thank you, David; but again -- this is only a decoder that works in Quick Time. I've downloaded this and the problem remains -- I can play back the audio but not the video.

Are you saying that they video won't play properly in QuickTime Player on a Windows system once the decoder has been installed? If it does play properly in QuickTime, then you'd need to use QT Pro (Windows) to convert to the codec needed for your chosen NLE.
