Had a friend do the edit on a video for me in PP5.5 on the Mac. I'm doing the final grading and audio master in PP6 on the PC. All the footage was shot with my JVC GY-HM700u in XDCAM-EX and has worked just fine for me on my system... I gave him .mp4 files, and they've all come back to me as .mov files, and PrPro says it doesn't have the required codec. I'm not willing to do the final work on his systems cause they're old iMacs... my PC has multiple RAID arrays, 24GB ram, good CPU, etc and screams on the audio mastering and grading.
Here's the MediaInfo on one of the files:
