I have the codecs installed, but I still can't play back DNxHR, only DNxHD. Maybe there's something going wrong.

Same -- after installing the codec, I was still unable to play the video, at least not with Windows media player

# Viewer for DNxHR HQX files

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-08-23)

I'm using Avid DNxHR HQX as an intermediate codec to go from Resolve to Premiere, but I can't find a viewer that will play it.

MPC-HC, MPC-BE, MPDN, Windows Media Player even the dreaded quicktime player all refuse to play it. The only thing that works is ffplay.

Anyone know of a player that can handle this codec yet?

[Potplayer](https://www.videohelp.com/software/PotPlayer) plays the HQX HR file I generated using ffmpeg. You have to tell Potplayer to use ffmpeg's MP4/QT demuxer by setting `Preferences -> Filter Control -> Source/Splitter -> MP4/QT` to `FFmpeg MP4 Source/Splitter`.
