The fourcc is: 601P sample video file: hopla-00.00.03.10-V300 QTX file: M100WinTranscoder.qtx (please delete the broken sample file hopla-00.00.04.23-V300) This is a codec used by Media 100 (media100.com) pro digitizing equipment. The transcoder isn't apparently supposed to give real-time throughput, according to the iFinishTranscoder readme.
