I was hired to do an editing job for a client. I picked up the hard drive 2 nights ago, not knowing that it would take me until today to actually do it. I opened the case and installed the necessary programs and drivers for it, I opened MacDrive to get the files, then after 30 minutes of setting up everything, it turns out the files are in the wrong format to play on my computer.
Are Bill Gates and Steve Jobs that competitive that they have to completely block out a PC's file format to a Mac and vice versa? Or is it the fact that PCs and Macs aren't advanced enough to play each other's files? Neither. The answer is that there needs to be plugins to actually access each other's files. Like QuickTime is needed to access a .MOV file. But apparently, there's no plugin for this file to play on this computer, so the files have to be converted to a file that CAN be played on my Windows 7 PC. Oh well.
Work will commence again tomorrow, so I have the day off. That's the good side to it.
