Here is the latest (last?) version of a quicktime accessible x264 codec. 


I've been using this evolution of x264 for years. As Brian mentioned, at low bit rates, it really excels. You do have to tune the parameters, but once you find the right mix, it is probably half the bit rate at low bit rates than many of the commercial options. Also, it is a very fast and appears to be efficient across multi processors.

I use it with MPEG Streamclip.

x264 produces even better results than h264 in a smaller footprint, although you have to compress it from the command line, last I checked. Beautiful results, though.

yes, a MBP with hdmi out through minidisplay or thunderbolt adapter would be your best bet. It will push resolutions higher than 1080p so no reason that wouldn't work. I'd avoid keynote (just to leave technical issues out of it) and use VLC or QT, however keynote should probably be just fine.

Why not choose H.264 (.mp4) with a high bit rate?

I have access to Sony F55 cameras so I thought I could encode to an SxS card in XAVC and play it on the camera. However - I cannot find a codec for this. I only have CS3 on a PC. I could encode to XDCam but that only goes to 60i.
I then thought I could find something else that could play (say) ProRes422.
