The GV and Avid codec packs are available to other softwares, but I still think that for simplicity in passing the files off to other people and avoiding the headaches of people complaining that there is something wrong with the files, conversion back to ProRes is the safest thing for you to do.Īsking a station to download a codec pack to play or edit 'your' files is pushing your luck. Players like the Elmedia player and VLC have codecs hard coded into them for viewing, but these are not available to other softwares for further work on the files. In both cases the codecs are quite good, but require installation of the respective codec packs on machines that don't have the editing software on them. Xmedia Recode is a free one that will let you do the conversion.HQX is the native codec of Edius, just as DNxHD is the native codec of Avid Media Composer.

You can do this using ffmpeg, or if you prefer not to use the command line, there are several GUI's for ffmpeg, some free, some not. If you can't export Prores, since your edius version is from before the native prores support, it may make sense to convert the HQX files back to Prores for delivery. ProRes is native to Mac, and a lot of people have quicktime player on their PC's, so ProRes can usually work on a PC too for playback. The same story is true if you were to use an Avid DNxHD codec.

The one thing to be aware of, is that whoever you are giving these files to will need to install the GV codecs to play them.
