Burning TV shows within toast using Quicktime Pro to edit

I have a replaytv (similar to tivo) and have downloaded a tv show to my mac using DVArchive. I then used MPEGStream to encode the file as an apple intermediate codec file so I could then edit out the commercials within quicktime Pro, version 7. I then dragged the file into toast, where I successfully created a dvd I could watch of the show. However, the top and bottom of the image, on the tv screen, is cut off. That is, it looks kinda like a 16:9 movie, ya know, widescreen format. I have the resolution set within MPEGStream to 720 x 480, which I understand to be tv resolution. Someone in the avsforum suggested that quicktime pro changed the aspect ratio when I edited the file, which is why I'm experiencing the black lines above and below the image. Is that likely, and what settings, if any, can I use such that the video will take up the whole screen? Please help.

I would take a look at the edited file in QuickTIme Pro and see what size it is Window>Show Movie Info. If the size there is 720 x 480, then perhaps there was a setting you missed in Toast-perhaps in the Advanced tab. If the size is different in the edited QT movie, then there might have been a problem in the conversion from Replay TV to the intermediate codec. That's at least a place to start I think. Keep us posted....

  • .mov files not showing video while using Quicktime Pro

    Hi:
    I'm trying to work with some .mov files that were created in DVCPRO HD format, which I understand is a Panasonic format. I've upgraded to Quicktime Pro 7.6.4 as instructed by the individual who created the .mov files. The problem is I get audio, but no video. I've also tried exporting these movie files to DV Stream and I get an error message that reads "qtKitErrorCatchAll(-8961)."
    Thanks for viewing this and for any help you can provide.

    The file was made by someone using Final Cut Studio?
    A white playback means the codec used in the file is missing on the machine trying to view it.
    Ask them to send you a version exported using H.264 video codec.

    You used the data.  Verizon can not see what it was sued for.  However your phone can see whats apps used the data.  go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle.  line the dates up with your cycle.  then there will be a bar graph below that   extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right.  after those are extended below that will be a list of apps,  there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

  • PPT to DVD using Quicktime Pro

    I am trying to transfer a Powerpoint slide to a DVD. I had heard it could be done using Quicktime Pro. I have made the PPT a .mov and can get it to open in Quicktime, but the animations and timing does not transfer. A 5-second PPT is coming out as 17 seconds long. How can I fix this?

    QuickTime Pro doesn't export to the MPEG-2 format so it doesn't make DVD's
    Your profile says you're using a Mac.
    Export your .avi to DV Stream (.dv) format (make sure you can play them with QT first).
    Use iDVD to burn your DVD. It will convert your .dv file into the MPEG-2 format used on DVD's.
    If you don't have a built in DVD burner you may be able to use a Firewire external. Check before you buy to be sure it is compatible with iDVD software.

  • I am using quicktime pro for apple codecs and  adobe CS6 cant see them. I am using win7 64bit op sytem. Help please...

    I am using Quicktime pro 7 the latest, on a win7 64bit PC machine.
    Adobe Premiere and Encoder cant see it; has anyone had troubles and
    how do i fix this problem..help. I am try to use the apple codecs for
    digital editing "apple prores 422".

    Hi Gary
    thanks for your reply, look I was loading the latest Quicktime and paid for the latest version of Quicktime Pro for windows as well as updating Itunes. After restarting my PC, the apple codecs would not show in the codecs list when i was preparing the output specs which are for the Australian broadcast which my boss wants of:
    1280 X 720, 25fps and Apple codecs prores 422.
    Look I was wondering is there any area of Quicktime Player Pro that I have to turn on or off, I just wonder if I have to do something in Premier Pro or the other adobe program encore to convert certain levels of film from one level to another, as the camera crew I was with had 5 different levels of film to convert to the above format.
    Do you have any other ideas that come to mind, I have had some troubles in the last six months with Indesign and Adobe pdf maker, I have alot of sucess with adobe before. I gratefull for any other hints. Cheers Hound Puppy

  • Exporting to .mp4 file using QuickTime Pro

    Rather than use the Movie to iPod preset in QuickTime pro, I would like to export an .avi file to a .mp4 file using Movie to MPEG-4. I would like the resulting file to be encoded using h.264 video and to be 640 X 480. I want one file that I can include as an enclosure in the rss feed for my podcast that can be downloaded and played in both iTunes and on an iPod. So far, I have been able to create a .mp4 file that plays in iTunes/QuickTime but not on an iPod.
    Would someone with experience in this please tell me which settings to use in the MPEG-4 export settings dialogue so that I get a file that can be played on the iPod.
    The options are:
    File Format (I chose mp4)
    dropdown (I chose video)
    Video Format (I chose H.264)
    Data Rate (I know it's important that this not be too high but don't know what to put.)
    Optimize For (download is the only choice for this option)
    Image Size (I chose 640X480 VGA)
    Preserve Aspect Ratio checkbox (My original video is 720X480. I don't think I should check this. I want to change the pixel aspect ratio to square pixels.)
    using dropdown box (Letterbox, crop, fit within size) (only active when Preserve Aspect ratio is checked)
    Framerate (I chose 29.97, which is the frame rate on the original .avi file)
    Keyframe ( I set this to every 15 frames)

    Thanks. I was aware of that information. But still am stuck on using QuickTime Pro to come up with a usable .mp4 file for the iPod. I think I am using the right settings, but it's still not working. That's why I included a lot of detail about the specific options in my question. Hopefully, there's someone out there who has used QuickTime Pro for this.

  • Video conversion using Quicktime Pro (Which Export Settings?)

    I tried converting videos (.avi) to .m4v so that I can play them on my iPod Touch. However I am having problems.
    iPod Touch documentation says that the following video file formats are supported by iPod touch:
    A H.264 (Baseline Profile Level 3.0)
    B MPEG-4 (Simple Profile)
    My question is:
    1. Can anyone show me how can i covert to those format using Quicktime Pro? And please do let me know which exact EXPORT setting I am supposed to use. I used EXPORT> Movie to iPod . It did not seem to work.
    Thanks in Advance.

    I use it on a 24" iMac C2D running at 2.33GHz with 3GB of RAM, and it's much quicker than a regular QT export and a bit quicker than VisualHub. I won't quote a time to encode a "2 hour movie" because there's a lot more factors involved like resolution and original file encoding but the device is faster than using the twin cores.
    No, it won't work with Handbrake, nor VisualHub for that matter. It acts as a plug-in (albeit hardware) for QT and any application that uses QT for export can utilise the turbo.264.
    One other (for me big) advantage is that Elgatos own software for using the turbo.264 supports AppleScript and hence Automator.

  • Using QuickTime Pro to convert a series of JPEG images into a QT movie?

    Can I use QuickTime Pro to convert a series of JPEG images into a QT (uncompressed) movie? Thanks...
      Windows XP  

    Yes.
    One of the features of the QuickTime Pro upgrade is "Open Image Sequence". It imports your sequencially named (1.jpg, 2.jpg) liked sized images (any format that QT understands) and allows you to set a frame rate.
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/slideshow.html
    You can also adjust the frame rate by adding your image .mov file to any audio clip. Simply "copy" (Command-A to select all and then Command-C to copy) and switch to your audio track.
    Select all and "Add to Selection & Scale". Open the Movie Properties window and "Extract" your new (longer or shorter) file and Save As.
    As you've posted in the Mac Discussion pages but your profile says XP you'll need to subsitute Control key where I reference Command key.

  • Use QuickTime Pro to extract audio from VCD

    Can I use QuickTime Pro to extract the audio from a VCD? after that, I would like to convert that audio file to an mp3.

    MPEG Streamclip is exactly what I needed. Thank you!
    For others with the same need, here's my workflow for Extracting Audio from a VCD:
    * Pop the vcd into a computer and open it up.
    * Navigate to the MPEGAV folder. You should see something like AVSEQ01.DAT.
    * rename that to AVSEQ01.mpg
    * Drag this new .mpg file into MPEG Streamclip
    * File/Export Audio . . .
    * Open up Audacity (optional)
    * File/Open . . .
    * direct it to the newly created .mp3
    * Trim off any extra audio (I didn't want the opening credits, etc. on the .mp3)
    * File/Export as .mp3

  • Recording using Quicktime Pro

    I am trying to record a video which streams across my internet connection; the video uses Quicktime player.  I thought it was possible to do this using Quicktime Pro, so yesterday I spent $30 on the upgrade, but when I right clicked on the video screen and chose "Save as Quicktime Movie" and the destination folder, as that is there is 809 bytes of data, even though the info states the correct length of the movie.  I can click on the movie, and it opens a new screen and will play, but it is streaming, and I really need this to be where I can watch and listen to it offline.
    Can anyone help me with this issue, if possible?  I hope I didn't waste $30.
    Thanks!

    I don't know about any YouTube "streaming media". All I've ever seen is "progressive downloads".
    Progressive downloads allow playback while the file continues to download. Streaming media is served from special server software that sends "hint tracks" and you can step through playback at any point in the file. You could view the last minute of an hour long streaming file as soon as you got the initial file started.

  • How to download WWDC 2006 keynote using QuickTime Pro?

    Hi!
    How can I download the WWDC keynote using quicktime pro?
    Matt

    You can't...The video is streamed. One of the biggest draw backs to steaming a video is you can't download it..(draw back for end user)........ You can use a program to capture the video on the monitor.
