Quick time apple tv bitrates

I have about 100 movies that I have formatted for apple tv with the H264 codec and a bit rate of 2500 (they are all about 2 gig in size). I now need to be able to play these on third party media that, unfortunately, won't support files over 2 gig or at 2500. I have tried exporting a file in quicktime 7.2 to either avi or mp4 at lower quality, however a sign always comes up saying this will take 14 hours. I don't have 1400 hours to spare! Can anyone think of a fast way of reducing the bitrate in quicktime or anything else?
I only need it to go down to about 1500 and that should take care of the file size.
thanks

Any edit made after a file is exported (fast start hinted) will break the fast start feature.
The "fix" is to open the file and use "Save As". This restores the fast start feature.
You need only make your edit using the AppleScript and then Save As (instead of a regular Save).

  • Quick time Apple page

    I tried to access the Film about the new products on the Apple page on Safari. It comes up 'disconnected' . Quicktime has been recently updated and when I downloaded Quicktime 7 it says it is already installed.
    Cannot access the new products film at all.
    any ideas
    Many thanks

    I also have the same problem. QuickTime would not proceed to the QuickTime page. It stays at the Switching page. However, this happens under my user account only. It works fine under other users accounts. I have uninstalled, reinstalled the software several times, but still the same behavior under my account. Help!

  • I have asked iTunes to print a cover and get a Windows failed and it shuts down iTunes.  The iTunes support asks for a serial number.  My previous iTunes won't print CD cover is what started this.  I have removed and reinstalled the iTunes, Quick Time etc

    I have removed and reinstalled iTunes Version 11, Quick Time, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device, Bonjour, and Apple Applications Support.  I received this instruction from "http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923.  I reinstalled Version 11 and it still will not print the CD covers and shuts down sometimes when I ask it to print.  I hope they will find a way to make it work. 

    Well my first guess was wrong. The line that failed is the one that writes out the image to disk. I've not revisited the code for that script for ages, but it seems I did add in an extra test for missing files a little while later, then forgot to upload the change. I can reproduce the error message if I deliberately rename a file to confuse iTunes so that seems the most likely reason for your problem with the script. I've uploaded a new build of CreateFolderArt which should work better.
    See FindTracks for a tool to repair broken links. You should probably get that issue fixed first.

  • QuickTime Pro - I am trying to find a way to retrieve my Quick Time Pro code and re-register it but, because I bought it more than 180 days ago, I cannot find the code anywhere, or any way to get an answer from Apple's website.

    I have been going round in circles, trying to resolve this
    I bought the MPEG2 component from the Apple UK store on 4th July 2010. I still have the email and the order number but they are no use to me because it is more than 180 days since I ordered this from them.
    My operating system got corrupted and I had to do a clean install, then a return of the relevant files, folders and applications from my Time Machine. With that should have been my MPEG2 component for QuickTime Pro but it refuses to register.
    I need it to convert my videos taken on my older video camera, which is a Sony, using mpeg2. I cannot look at any of these videos any more, which is deeply irritating. Still lots of editing to do.
    I think it is a bit off if I have to buy it all over again
    Any ideas?

    I still have the email and the order number but they are no use to me because it is more than 180 days since I ordered this from them.
    The registration cade is contained in the email Apple sent you on purchasing.

  • How do you mirror powerpoint or quick time onto apple tv without it showing up on your desktop/original screen?

    I am currently running mavericks os x on an iMac. I would like to mirror my computer screen on to a TV screen using Mavericks/ Apple TV and continuously stream either a quick time video or power point full screen on the TV. Whenever I try to do this, it also takes over my iMac screen.. Does anyone know a way I can mirror stream this powerpoint or quick time full screen continuously on the tv screen and not on my computer screen?
    Thanks a bunch! =)

    The only way to share content from itunes is through home sharing or airplay, which will require the laptop be awake a different running get itunes. If you have an IOS device you could transfer there and airplay.

  • What do I need to do to get pronunciation via Firefox? I could not download Apple's Quick Time; I don't want any Apple products..

    I have FF, Win 7 Ultra, 32-bit, HP a465c. I bookmarked a pronouncing dictionary that won't pronounce! Yikes! When I try to get an unusual word pronounced, I am prompted to download Apple's plug-in. I have no Apple products and don't want any. When I try to download Quick Time, it always fails. Then I'm prompted to manually install it. I don't know how to do this. What does FF have that will pronounce desired words readily? Methinks that that would be a commonplace, built-in FF feature.
    Danke.

    I was using Merriam-Webster's Pronouncing Unabridged Dictionary, which has a built-in pronouncing function. I just tried it now, only to find that I NOW would have to PAY to gain full access to the site! I can't afford that, so I shall remove the dictionary forthwith.
    That said, does FF have a built-in pronouncing function, with or without definition? If not, how do I get this on my computer?
    Danke.

  • I have an Apple Air Book and I am very satisfied with it except there are video that I cannot see.  The reason is that Quick Time will not support the video.  What can I do to be able to get these videos?

    I have an Apple Air Book and I am very satisfied with it except there are video that I cannot see.  The reason is that Quick Time will not support the video.  What can I do to be able to get these videos?  I have all ready download Adobe Flash Player and installed it but it has not effect.

    Get Flip4Mac (for Windows Media videos):
    http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.asp?prodid=flip4mac wmv
    And Perian for everything else:
    http://perian.org/
    You should be able to play most videos with QuickTime player once both are installed.

  • When I try and Share a project, I get a Quick Time Error -50  Any Ideas?  Apple Care is scratching thier heads.

    When I try and Share (export) a project, I get a Quick Time Error -50  Any Ideas?  Apple Care is scratching their heads.

    Okay, after several hours on the phone w/ Apple Care includiing nearly 10 hours on Wednesday, we finally figured out why I would get a Quicktime Error -50 when I tried to share a project out of FCP X.  The problem was in the music track that I had in the project.  I ripped a track from an audio CD, put in my iTunes then imported into the FCP timeline just as Apple says to do.
    The problem is; iTunes default rippping codec is AAC.  FCPX can't handle AAC compression.  I had to re-rip the audio CD to a uncomressed AIFF file, bring that back into my project and then FCPX could share the file and do it's own copression.
    This was a new discovery for Apple and FCPX.

  • Quick Time Player don't read the Apple Intermediate Codec

    Hi there:
    I have updated to Mavericks and now Quick Time Player don't read the Apple Intermediate Codec, needs convert the movie to Apple ProRess 422.
    I've installed Final Cut. Any ideas?

    What are your goals. If playback is all you want, use the QT 7, MPEG Streamclip, MPlayerX, Flip Player, or any other app that plays content using your system's AIC, Animation, PNG, DV stream, etc. codec configuration which QT Player X v10.3 now only uses as conversion assets. As to what is happening here, it would seem that Apple has now added a full encode/decode codec to the default  system codec component configuration under Mavericks which may be replacing AIC as the default "poor man's" standard codec for for HD content. As to editing apps, iMovie v10.0 still accepts and natively uses AIC for editing projects but zI am not using FCP X, so I cannot make any comments regarding its compatibility.

  • Quick Time Player and Apple TV

    I have a AVI file from my Olympus camera that plays on my Quick Time Player on my iMac. How does one get the file to Apple TV to play?

    there are many third party apps that will do it.
    also, if you are able to get the video into itunes as it currently is, then you can right click on it and choose "create appletv version".

  • How do I fix a problem with Apple Quick Time?

    I had Apple Quick Time installed but uninstalled it by accident. From looking at my profile in Mozilla, I seem to have 7 versions of Quick Time all with the same version number.
    Should I uninstall all of the versions and start over?
    I am currently unable to view any videos using Mozilla. When I use another browser, Quick Time runs fine.

    Hi,
    You can try deleting the pluginreg.dat file in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder Firefox Profile Folder] after exiting Firefox. You can also open the profile folder via Firefox '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information''' > '''Show Folder'''.
    You can also try to '''Disable''' all the versions except the one working version in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''' > '''Plugins'''.

  • Even with Apple Quick Time 7.7 I cannot open, much less play, any wmv files.  It gives me only the code behind the file, never the video. What's going on?

    I never have been able to open wmv files/attachments with the Apple Quick Time player I've got on this MacBook Pro.  A click on any wmv file leads me only to Text/Edit and all the code behind the file.  What is going on?  I have Quick Time 7.7 (1680.25).

    Those are Windows Media files, and they're not supported natively in any version of QuickTime. You can view them in some third-party applications, such as VideoLAN Client, or you can install the Flip4Mac QuickTime component which makes them playable in QT Player.
