    You need Perian.

    - plugins to add functionality to Quicktime for playing additional audio and video formats

  • Can't view AVI files on Quick Time.

  • How do I save movies puchased from Apple as .avi file from Quick Time Pro?

    Help! I've purchased Quick Time Pro in hopes of converting my movies purchased from I Tunes to .avi files so they would be viewable through a media player. I exported the movie as discribed through Quick Time Pro and upon completion only get a white screen with no sound when the .avi file is opened. I'm concerned because this was an Apple file to start with and the necessary codecs (or whatever I need) should be included in the Quick Time Pro. What's the deal? Thanks.

    The terminology is known as "Fair Use" and the U.S. Supreme Court had to get involved to sort the mess out.
    When the first VHS and BetaMax "recorders" allow people to capture TV broadcasts and use them as they see fit (view at a different time than intended) these new "rules" were established.
    Today no one thinks twice to use these "time shifting" devices (TiVo and others) to first "record" and then fast forward through content (skipping the people that really pay for the distribution by bypassing the commercials).
    When you buy a DVD the "rules" say you get the right to view it on a DVD player or on your computer (also using DVD player software).
    But, even though you "bought it", you never get the rights to change, edit, modify or convert it to fit your Fair Use rights.
    The original poster wanted to convert some one else's file to another format. Apple doesn't own it (it only "sells" it). QuickTime Pro can't be used because it follows these "rules" regarding true ownership of the content (the copyright holders).
    Since they have only purchased the right to "view" the file in the format is was sold (CD, DVD or iTunes purchase) they do not get the right to convert or edit the file.

    Install Perian and try again. Some AVIs just can't be played in Mac OS X.

    You need to explin your workflow better.
    The "Save" action may be initiated by a "Share" or "Export" option depending on the app you are using. For instance, QT 7 Pro has "Save", "Save As...", "Share...", "Export...", and "Export for Web..." options depending on what you are specificly trying to do. On the other hand, QT X may have "Duplicate", "Export...", Export To", and/or "Share" options for various goals.
    Are you trying to record a new audio file using a mic, extract and save an audio track from a video, export audio from a video file, save an internet audio file that opened in the QT player, save an online audio file, etc?

    The Windows Media codec you are using is running in the "demo" mode. To export full clips you must purchase or upgrade to one of the export capable codec components like those included in the "Studio" or "Studio Pro HD" software package.

  • IMovie file to Quick Time

    I just got done editing my video podcast using iMovie. Does anyone know how to change the file from an iMovie file, to a Quick Time file? I have tried
    Open document with...
    Quick Time was not listed.
    Changing the ending to .mov
    This made a folder, of all the elements of the vid. podcast. Audio, visuals.ect.
    Can anyone help me.
    P.S. I do not have iLife 06.

    In iMovie:
    Go to the File Menu and select Share...
    Select the Quicktime Tab and Compress Movie for: Expert Settings
    Under the Export drop down menu, select: Movie to iPod (320x240)
    It will save it as a file with the extension .m4v
    You can also select other Quicktime and MPEG-4 formats to export it too, but the Movie to iPod setting is the easiest one to do.

  • File type/quick time movie file

    My iTunes library used to have a preponderance of mp3 files. Now these seem to have been converted to Quick Time movie files. This might have occurred during an update. What happened and what does it mean.
    Many thanks,
    Wells

    Wells,
    Unfortunately the page you mention (http://www.cminow.org/itunesapplescriptfixer.html) will not load.
    Give it a couple more hours or try:
    http://www.cminow.com/itunesapplescriptfixer.html
    That's my site, and I switched the IP address about four hours ago, and the DNS is probably still pointing to the wrong address. For some reason, the ".com" address changed over really fast (at Comcast anyway), but the ".org" one didn't.
    Here's the AppleScript:on open badfiles
    repeat with i in badfiles
    set the item_info to info for i
    --Change "mp3" to "mp2" in the following line for MP2 files:
    if (name extension of item_info is "mp3") and (folder of item_info is false) then
    tell application "Finder"
    --Change "MPG3" to "MPG2" in the following line for MP2 files:
    set file type of i to "MPG3"
    set creator type of i to "hook"
    end tell
    end if
    end repeat
    end open
    Just copy and paste that into the Script Editor in your AppleScript folder in Applications. Save it as an application. Then find one of the files that's giving you problems and drag it onto the application. It should change the type and creator and iTunes should be happy.
    In order to avoid this in the future, just download the MP3s directly onto your hard drive by control-clicking or right-clicking on the link to the MP3. Choose the menu item that downloads to disk. In Safair, it's "Download Linked File". That avoids the QuickTime Browser plugin, which is what gives it a type of "MPEG" and creator of "TVOD" instead of "MPG3" and creator of "hook", which is what iTunes is happiest with.
    Let me know if any of this wasn't clear, and I'll try to explain it better...

  • ERROR wiht an AMR file in Quick Time 6.3

    I have quick time 6.3
    i want to reproduce an amr file but it appear a message saying NOT COMPABILITY WITH QUICK TIME
    what´s wrong???

    In older versions of Quicktime (same as todays version) you set the in and out points by positioning the playhead (i beam part of the controller) to the location in the controller timeline to set the point you want to remove or edit.
    Shift drag (right or left) to make a selection and use the menu items.
    To fine tune your selection us the shift right/left arrow keys.
