Audio Problem on Quicktime Pro/Ipod Classic

I just downloaded Quicktime Pro and followed the steps in order to get a video from my desktop to my ipod classic. It looked and sounded fine on my Itunes (Aside from taking forever to convert). But by the time I had to convert it again for my ipod the picture was subpar and the audio was horrible. Can anyone help me?
Thanks

FCE works best with AIFF audio @48kHz. You can convert mp3s in iTunes (DRM prevents use of many iTunes Store tracks in FCE) but they wind up @44.1kHz. It's better to convert in QTPro, as that can give you the correct sample rate.

Audio upsampling in Quicktime Pro: Best export settings for Final Cut?

I'm using Quicktime Pro to convert audio from 32 kHz to 48 kHz, for use in FCE/FCP. Quicktime gives me several options for export settings. I want to make the conversion lossless, without increasing the size of the audio file too much.
These are the settings I'm using so far:
Format: Linear PCM
Channels: Stereo (L R)
Rate: 48 kHz
Sample Rate Converter Settings: Quality: Best
Linear PCM Settings: Sample size: 16 bits
Are these settings the best choices? Does anyone have experience doing this kind of upsampling?
Here are the other options in Quicktime:
Format: Linear PCM, A-Law 2:1, IMA 4:1, MACE 3:1, MACE 6:1, QDesign Music 2, Qualcomm PureVoice, and mu-Law 2:1
Channels: 2 Discrete Channels, Mono, Stereo (L R)
Rate: there are other choices, but I know 48 kHz is what I want
Advanced Settings:
Sample Rate Converter Settings: Faster, Fast, Normal, Better, Best
Linear PCM Settings (when Linear PCM is the format): 8 bit, 16 bit, 24 bit, 32 bit (floating point checked), 32 bit (floating point unchecked).
The file size grows quickly as you increase the Linear PCM bit settings.

You can't create something that is not in the file.
Moving from 32kHz to 48 will only make the file size
larger and can't improve the audio.
Doesn't FCP or FCE import your file at 32. Or does it
change it to 48 after import?
I am aware that increasing the audio from 32 kHz to 48 kHz will not improve the quality of the audio. And yes, Final Cut Pro and Express will both capture and allow you to work witih 32 kHz audio.
I have several hours of video shot with 32 kHz audio settings that I'd prefer to have stored on disk with 48 kHz audio, because (a) some applications like iMovie have demonstrated problems with 32 kHz audio in the past, and (b) the majority of my video is shot with 48 kHz audio, so my 32 kHz video will eventually end up in a 48 kHz project, leaving the upsampling to Final Cut. Yes, I do eventually plan to burn my projects to DVD as well, but this isn't an immediate concern.
The problem with doing the conversion in Final Cut is this: Some of the people knowledgeable about Final Cut Pro and Express recommend doing the upsampling using Quicktime or another application, instead of using Final Cut, because Final Cut may not do as good a job as Quicktime. So my intention is to upsample the audio now in preparation for later projects. I don't completely understand why Final Cut wouldn't do as good of a job at upsampling, but a couple of experienced users in the FCP and FCE forums have independently corroborrated this.
Thanks to everyone for their helpful posts and responsiveness.

Encode DV to H.264 for iPod with Quicktime Pro - iPod won't play file

Hello,
I have been trying to encode Microsoft DV or Pinnacle DV AVIs into MPEG4 (H.264) for iPod, BUT the resulting files do NOT play in an iPod!?
I use Quicktime Pro for Windows (v7.1) and use the Apple recommended settings, here are the exact settings I have tried and failed in an iPod;
VIDEO: H.264 at 200kbps, Baseline Profile, 25fps, Auto Key Frames, 320x240 or 640x480, Multipass Best quality encoding.
AUDIO: AAC Audio at 96kbps, 24kHz sampling freq, Stereo.
I'm actually doing it for a client and they cannot play the file, they apparently have to 'convert' my file in their MAC based iTunes for it to work.
Anyhow can anyone please give me an idea if I am doing something wrong?
Regards,
J

Do you have H.264 codec enabled in the plugins list of Firefox?
Does this happen in the most recent version of JWplayer?
There was an error loading the media:

In that one there were two errors: needed a higher version of Flash installed and the codec issue. As you mentioned this had been narrowed down to the codec of the mp4 file. And this codec is added with the default cisco h.264 player. [https://gigaom.com/2014/10/14/h-264-support-arrives-in-firefox-thanks-to-cisco-but-h-264-web-videos-still-wont-play/]

Audio problem when converting to ipod format

I'm trying to convert .mpg files into ipod video files using Quicktime Pro 7.0.4. I use the default options and the export goes great, but there is no audio in the exported file. Anyone have any ideas?
I'm on XP Pro SP 2 if that matters

Strange audio problem in Premiere Pro CS6

Hi
I have encountered a very strange problem. I am editing a documentary film in Premiere Pro. All material has been shot on the Sony FS 100 camera - imported into PP with the Media Browser. In one interview the last part of a clip has corrupted audio. At one point on the timeline the audio stops playing, and it sounds like a scratch on a vinyl record - two words repeating themselves to the end of the clip (See screenshot of timeline). The images are as they should. When I open the Avchd source clip in VLC the audio is working. When i Import the clip into Final Cut 7 using Log and Transfer the audio is working. My only other option would be that there is a software problem with Premiere Pro CS6. Any ideas of how to fix this issue?
Version PP: 6.0.1
Source footage: MPEG-4 AVCHD (1080/25p - Sony FS100)
Version mac: OS x 10.8
Model Name:     Mac Pro Mid 2010
Processor Name:     Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed:     2.4 GHz
Number Of Processors:     2
Total Number Of Cores:     8
Memory: 20 GB
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 570 GTX
Third-party I/O: Matrox MXO2 with Max
Mercury Playback Engine: Software mode

One similar, potential problem, that can develop, is when the Conforming process is interrupted, before it completes 100%.
A quick way to rule that out, would be to navigate to the Media Cache files, and Delete the CFA and PEK (Waveform Display) for that Clip, outside of Premiere Pro. Then, when you launch PrPro and Open your Project, the program will recreate both of those files. There is a little progress bar, that many do not notice. Let it complete 100%, before even touching the computer. Test.
I hope that it is as simple as that.
Good luck,
Hunt

Problems Using QuickTime Pro on Windows to Compress Movies for E-mailing

I have a windows system but just installed QuickTime Pro because I understood it would allow compression of movies (home movie segments of no more than 5 minutes) to facilitate e-mailing them. QuickTime instructions describing easy use of a "Share" feature seem geared to the MAC operating system--I have no such option. I've tried opening my movie using Quicktime, going to File, exporting (Movie to Quicktime Movie) with default settings (H.264 compression, quality high, key frame rate 24, etc., audio at format integer, sample rate 11.024 khz, etc.) and prepare for internet streaming (fast start). The movie goes into my Quick Time movie files without much compression--going from an AVI file of 60.4 MB to a quicktime movie of 40.8 MB. This is much larger than the quicktime movies emailed to me of longer duration which were only a few MB. Any help for a novice who at this point only wants to compress and email movies? Thanks.

That sounds like the sound is being exported in
uncompressed format. Suggest you open one of these
filesw and use MovieInfo in the Windows menu to see
what format is being used for the sound. If it is
listed as uncompressed or raw or PCM, you may want to
try using mpeg-4 sound (aac or advance audio
compression).
Thanks much. I tried saving the file using the AAC option (rather than Linear PCM) and that got it down only slightly (from 40.8 to 40.5 MB). I'll just keep experimenting.

Video masking problem in Quicktime Pro 7.5.5

I've been using Quicktime for Windows for some time. I have had Quicktime Pro 7, and upgraded as needed (when Itunes says so). I've discovered that I can no longer mask videos with Quicktime 7.5.5 When I mask the video track as usual by adding an image, the video frame starts to resize, but then freezes, and quicktime quits running. I can still mask videos if I uninstall 7.5.5 run an earlier version of Quicktime 7...but then Itunes doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated.

When I access this page, there is a variety of QT Components available. I have read them, tried a few but no luck yet. Here's the link. Maybe you can tell me which (if any) component will solve this problem.

Problems with brand new ipod classic

I purchased a $245 classic for my son's birthday last week. He opened it, was excited, and went straight to the computer to begin using it. Unfortunately, it did NOT work. I can't really say the problems he was having because he was the one using it. I believe he said that it would not format, and that the computer did not recognize the device as an ipod. He then tried it on his girlfriend's computer and it did not work there either. We called Apple and the representative told us to return it to the store. The store told us that it had to go through Apple (per Apple's orders). We called the same guy back and he said to send it in and they would send us a new one. OK, fine. But now they are saying that it was "undetermined accidental damage" and they will not repair or replace it. The ipod did not work from the moment it was opened!!! I find it quite unfair that we now have a brand new completely unscratched $245 paperweight, and no gift for our son. The website does not give me help with addressing this issue. Does anyone out there have any ideas on who to contact next? The guy we talked to in customer service lied to us twice (first by telling us the store would return it, and second by saying they were just going to ship a new one since he had just opened it). We don't really want to bother with him anymore. Our frustration is unreal. Thanks for any insight you might have.

I can't speak for Apple, and I don't think we could speak to what your son did with the iPod (as opposed to following the setup instructions which I believe are in the box, and direct you to www.apple.com/ipod/start to install iTunes), as when I turned my Ipod Classic 160GB on, it simply booted up and started working. No "formatting" was required.
If you have an issue where a vendor promises you a return, then reneges ... turn all your information over to your credit card issuer or bank and ask them to initate a chargeback. That will get the seller's attention.
That's my $0.02.

MacBook Pro iPod classic Auxiliary Cord

Can my MacBook Pro internal speakers play my iPod classic's music using a 3.5mm aux cord? I do not want to use the standard iPod cord because it continuously charges my iPod battery. I simply want to play music directly from my iPod through my MacBook Pro (speakers). Is this possible?

The iPod's battery is smart enough to know when to stop charging so leaving the iPod connected to continously charge does no harm.
My guess is that it isn't supported.

Problems using my new iPod classic, says it requires iTunes version 10.7!

I've just bought an iPod classic to store my music collection, but it says it can't be used because it requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. (I'm currently running iTunes version 10.6.3) I can't download iTunes version 10.7 because my iMac is running on OS X version 10.5.8. I hadn't anticpated this problem as the iPod classic is a relatively old model, not updated since 2009. I didn't really want to buy new operating software for my Mac as well. Any ideas what to do please?

Whatever you do, DO NOT update to iTune 11. It won't work with iPod Classic.

Problem w/ quicktime pro on windows 2k professional

I installed quicktime standalone, then upgraded to quicktime pro and added the mpeg-2 plugin.
when i open dvd's (*.vob format) I can play the video but I don't get sound. (no audiotrack visible) I can rip the sound from the vob file and add it and then it plays OK but no direct sound.
I added each and every driver (including direct X) possible for windows but no result.
But the worst is that I can't cut. The cut and paste does not highlight and although it says "quicktime pro" in the quicktime control panel nothing happens.
I am getting desperate and thinking about scratching quicktime off my HD and asking for my money back.
Is there any hope?!?

Not all audio formats are supported by the MPEG-2 Playback Component.
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/faq.html
QuickTime Pro doesn't edit "playback formats" (like MPEG 1 or 2) so you won't see any edit options on these files.
You'll need some third party software to convert your MPEG-2 files into QuickTime formats (DV Stream is best for preserving quality) if you wish to edit.
"Is there any hope?"
Sure. Use third party software to convert and QT Pro to edit.
"asking for my money back."

Apple sez cannot repair audio jack in new gen Ipod Classic 160 GB

Will sell me a new one at half price, 13 months after purchase: $160, not much more that the diagnostic fee. But if Apple thinks I will buy another Ipod Classic from them they are much mistaken. (I have a nano from 6 years ago that still works great, so I know that I am not the issue as far as looking after the gear. Apple support will not tell me when/if the assembly changed, so I can try to fix it. I mean, what can I lose? Does anyone know? Anyone been through the same thing and can offer any advice except for pay the fee. Unsustainable to operate with one of the two CRUCIAL parts and purposes for an IPOD is weak AND irreplaceable. Thank you.

Problem getting Quicktime Pro 7 to open

I recently upgraded to Tiger. I hadn't noticed this until now, but my Quicktime seems like it's only functioning as Quicktime Player 7.1.2. Any movies I open always open in Player, not Pro. I need some of the functions in Pro (like rotating) that I can't get in Player.
I already purchased Pro 7 last year, and the registration code for Pro appears in the Quicktime preference window, but it doesn't seem like Pro is actually working.
I tried downloading a new copy of Player, upgrading to Pro 7 (again), but nothing seems any different.
eMac Mac OS X (10.4.7)

QuickTime Pro is not a separate application, so you won't find something different than QuickTime Player. A Pro key just unlocks the extra features of QuickTime Player and the QuickTime browser plugin. If the Pro labels have gone from the menu items in QuickTime Player, then your key is correctly registered and you have the Pro features.
If you're unable to locate the controls for rotation (they've moved in QT 7), open your movie, open the Movie Properties window, click on the Video Track listing (not the Hinted Video Track, if one is present), and choose the Video Settings pane.
Hope this helps.
