Roger,
Rhozet Carbon can definitely read DVCPROHD .mov files on
Windows. I use it for that quite often, and it's been bulletproof for
me. The new ProCoder 3.0 (built from the same sourcecode) might have
added that as well, but I haven't tried it for DVCPROHD yet.

My company produces an HD video library we make available in a
variety of formats. Currently we also offer the content in its raw
form, as a set of files taken from the P2 cards used by the
Panasonic cameras we shoot with. These files are in a relatively
unconvenient form for our internal workflow - many files linked
together in a (relatively) complex filesystem.
Using one of the several P2-capable video loggers we can repackage
this content (without recompression) into Quicktime .mov files,
readable with the Quicktime DVCPRO HD codec shipped as part of
Final Cut Pro.
My question is several fold:
1) Is this (or a compatible) codec available for Quicktime without
purchasing FCP?
No. Those codecs are owned and maintained by the Final Cut team.
Though their packaging makes them usable by other applications,
they are really part of that application.
That's what I figured...
2) Is this (or a compatible) codec available at all for Quicktime
for Windows?
No. Traditionally the "pro" codecs, that is the codecs for
authoring have been mac only.
That's what I've seen...
3) Is a Quicktime .mov encoded with DVCPRO HD like this going to
be readable by any editor on Windows, or any other editor on OSX,
if Final Cut isn't installed (obviously not possible for Windows)?
Yes. There's nothing magic about the movies. They just need
appropriate video decompressors in order to play back correctly.
Didn't mean to imply there's anything magic, just wondering if there
*are* workflows on Windows (or with non-FCP owned Mac systems) that
can ingest DVCPro HD-encoded Quicktime movies. You say "yes", but
then go on to tell me no. I'm not looking for theoretical, I'm
wondering if today such a workflow is practically achievable.
The point of my questions is whether offering our raw DVCPRO HD
content in a .mov wrapper is going to limit our customers to
having to own Final Cut Pro on OSX to read the source material?
Unless you release your own DVCProHD imdc/imco components, yes.
Again, I'm just wondering whether there is an x-platform, x-editor
workflow possible using DVCPRO HD-encoded .mov files; not necessary
for it to be an Apple-provided solution, but it's certainly not going
to involve my company developing Quicktime codecs!
