Sounds like somebody has a case of the Mondays.

I interpreted the post as a plea for more info on ProRes, and didn't detect a platform preference, or any mention of encoding or decoding (other than transcoding to h.264 from ProRes).

Anyway, according to what I read here, there is a solution to create ProRes on Windows:

Or, buy a cheap used Mac laptop that runs Compressor.

If you could just go ahead and make sure you do that from now on, that'd be great.

The decoder for Windows is free from Apple.

The decoder may be free, but the OP is talking about encoding, which, as far as I know is not free on pc.  Personally I am getting tired of everybody I deal with assuming that pro rez is no problemo for me.  I recently needed to upload a commercial spot for a station and the specs said they wanted prorez, and the instructions sent from the station talked about how to do this from your final cut project which would all be well and good if I wasn't editing on Avid!  sorry to rant but it is Monday morning.
