Thanks for the replies. It says in the manual: "If you want to play the exported movie in QuickTime, you need to purchase a third-party QuickTime plug-in. Avid recommends the Calibrated{Q} XD Decode from Calibrated Software: https://www.calibratedsoftware.com/. You can also play the exported movie directly in Final Cut Pro." Calibrated{Q}

I haven't used QTREF for a while but I noticed that both Handbrake and Shutter Encoder don't accept QTREF but are fine with the MXF that the reference file points too. I believe that Adobe's Media Encoder stopped support for it as well many years ago? How to people export videos these days?

i've opened a case with Blackmagic about this and the other issue I'm having with the SD output to a client monitor. Supplied them with information and just waiting to hear back from them. As soon as I do, I will update everyone.

[quote user="Mercer"] Thanks Mtahir, useful to know but I think I will stick with 12.4 for now, since there is nothing that later versions add to my BMD device. [/quote] No problem. :)

[quote user="Mercer"] What is the 'soft link' trick you used, Mtahir? [/quote] Go to this site and download 'Link Shell Extension': https://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/linkshellextension.html Once installed, it should appear in your context menu (right click). 1. Go to 'C:\Program Files\Blackmagic Design' 2

[quote user="Mercer"] 12.4.2. has not solved the issue, since it still creates a Blackmagic Desktop Video folder, contrary to what BMD say. Reverting to 12.4, resolves the issue. Deinstall later drivers and delte any DV folders first. [/quote] I'm using 12.4.2. I create a soft link called 'Desktop Video' which links to 'Blackmagic

[quote user="Mercer"] Did you try HDMI, for Avid? [/quote] Yes, I just tested it and it works under HDMI with my dual input (analog/HDMI) monitor. The aspect ratio is correct when scrubbing or playing. But... that still doesn't explain why, when using PAL or NTSC, interlaced or progressive, 4:3 or 16:9, it works perfectly with Resolve

[quote user="Job ter Burg"] Not 100% sure this is the culprit, but I'd definitely give it a go to see if anything changes. I know it says SDI output and 1080p/2K, but still. For instance, on my Decklink Mini Monitor, it does also affect the HDMI output signal. [/quote] Unfortunately, I don't have those SDI options. My card has 2 HDMI

[quote user="Job ter Burg"] So, what happens if you toggle the output to 25PsF anyway? I'm 90% sure that's the issue here. I don't think any monitor will accept 25P (non-sF) over analog inputs. Note that even traditional HDCAM decks sent out SD downconversions as PsF, not P. [/quote] I don't have a 25PsF option anywhere as

[quote user="AndrewAction"] FWIW With a Widows 10 computer here the last BM Desktop Video I installed was in July 2019. All the MC versions from that date forward including 2022.12 have just worked as expected. I have not had any isues with BM hardware or software either. There is a possibility that creating a new user settings in MC might
