ProRes 422 for mac and WINDOWS!

FreshDV and many others have pointed to what I cal a little revolution. ProRes goes Cross-Platform. At least for playback. Yeah right. This little Upgrade from Apple gives your Quicktime support for ProRes Playback.

Here’s what Apple says about it:

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.

And here is how CreativeCow quoted Wayne Carey:

Something to keep in mind, guys….Apple’s ProRes 422 is AWESOME!

And that’s damn right!
