Can I convert a RealPlayer media file to quicktime ?

I just got a new iMac and I'm goofing with .Mac/iDisk . I have a RealPlayer movie that I would like to move to the new computer so I put it into iDisk . On the old eMac on the iDisk it shows as a Real Player Media File but in the new computers iDisk it's a exec file ?. I tried to open it with QT so now it calls itself a QT player document but it won't open .
Can I convert a RealPlayer media file to quicktime ?

You said you wanted to convert it, which led me to believe that you wanted to use the video, not just play it. If all you want is to play the file, then Real Player is all you need. The free version has no ads.

    Both the AVI and the MOV file extensions refer to the file container and not the compressed data the file contains. Both are generic file containers in that each may contain any valid combination of audio and/or video data that is compatible with the codec component configuration of the system on which the file was created. On the other hand, whether a file is playback compatible, conversion compatible, and/or edit compatible depends on the data actually contained in the file container. So, you are basically dealing with two separate issues here—the container and what is inside it.
    Basically, if you want to make your files ediit compatible with iMovie, you must change your file container to one that is acceptable to iMovie and convert the data to edit compatible audio and/or video compression formats as may be necessary. The best approach is to determine what codecs were actually used to create the original AVI files and add them to your system if possible. In most cases a codec package like Perian can be added to your system's codec component configuration to may the AVI file playable. Once they are playable, in the QT 7 app then they can be chnged or converted to file types and compression formats that can be edited in iMovie. (While Perian handles most codecs commonly used to create AVI files, it does not handle all possibilities and, while the Perian codec package still works under cureent Mac OS versions, its development group has decided to drop further development/support of the package.)
    Background: AVI is a file container originally developed by Microsoft back in 1992 but for which official support was discontinued about 11 years. Despite its limitations, Windows users still tend to use this file based on its open source ease of use and generic nature, thus, making its use so popular that most users are unwilling to switch to more modern but less generic file types. Since some AVI legacy compression formats have never been transcoded for the Mac or use beyond OS 9 or OS X PPC platforms, it is often important to know what specific compression formats are contained in the AVI file to know which codecs to add to your system and which not to add in order to avoid possible codec conflicts.
    You can use many different converters to convert AVI files to iMovie edit compatible files. Most third-party apps contain their own buit-in codecs which do not relay on the Mac codec component configuration. Free ones, like HandBrake, usually have limited conversion capabilities while those that have more varied outputs are usually commercial in nature and will cost you additional cash. QT 7 Pro or the free MPEG Streamclip app allow you to access you own system's component configuration and use any available codec component like DV, AIC, MPEG-4, H.264, Photo JPEG, etc.—all of which are iMovie compatible for editing purposes—but only after making the AVI file QT 7 player compatible.
    In order to determine what compression formats wewre used in your AVI files you can
    1) Try checking the Finder "Info" window,
    2) Use the "Inspector", "Media Info", or "Properties" window of any player app that will open the file, or
    3) Use a general media utility app like "MediaInfo" to read the file characteristics.

  • Can you convert a Widows media player song to IPOD?

    can you convert and widows media player to and itunes mp3 song?? for example i have songs on windows media player that i want to put on my ipod once its fixed, but how can i? i usualy just have to wait untill i have enough songs to burn on to a cd then put it onto itunes that way

    Aoneil, if it's an unprotected mp3 file...no problem. iTunes will recognize the file when you import it into iTunes. Now...if the file is a protected WMA file, that's a little different. You'll have to burn the protected songs on to a CD-R or CD-RW disc and then re-download them into your computer. They will then show up as a unprotected mp3 file which you can import into iTunes. If you have them, I'd use a CD-RW disc to do your burning. You can re-use the disc for future burnings.
    Good Luck!

  • How can I convert the ringtone (m4r file) I made into an mp3 file on itunes?

    How can I convert the ringtone (m4r file) that I made into an mp3 file on iTunes? I want to put it on a CD, but I can't figure out how to convert it. I didn't buy it, I made it by converting a YouTube video into an mp3 (I wanted to get the little song in the video for a ringtone.) I'm not sure what to do. 

    Hello ed2345,
    Thanks for the help, but this is not the problem.
    It's hard to describe the problem, but I'll try it again, this time with pictures.
    I was left with the following folders in the iTunes Downloads folder.
    http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb3
    These TMP Folders have a download.m4a and a Info.plist file.
    After moving the audio files in iTunes a bit I get this.
    http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb2
    As you can see no other Information for the download.m4a than the length.
    That's how the .m4p file looks like
    http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb1
    And this is how the same .m4a file currently looks
    http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb0
    Like I said, I could edit all these download.m4a files by myself but that would leave some information out.
    Note: Sorry, I hope the links do not spam you with annoying ads. I don't get any but I was told that there can be some annoying one.

  • How can I convert a PDF/A file into a PDF file with Acrobat Pro X?

    How can I convert a PDF/A file into a PDF file with Acrobat Pro X? I'd like to modifiy the file which I have only as a PDF/A.

    There's two answers if you want to modify the file:
    You can temporarily turn off PDF/A Mode in your preferences, so they don't open as read-only. The problem would be if you do something to the file that violated the PDF/A standard, so you should always run a Preflight check afterwards to make sure.
    If you want to remove the PDF/A header tag, use Preflight again - it's on the Print Production Panel in Acrobat X Pro (which may be hidden, use the options menu on the Tools Pane to show it). There's a profile called "Remove PDF/A information" - choose this and press Analyze and Fix. Nothing else about the file will be altered but when you save and reopen it all the editing tools will become active.

    how can i convert 2k resolution dpx files of a movie to DCP and will they be able to open the harddisk and view the files?

    AFAIK, this is beyond the capabilities of FCPX/Compressor. This company makes a plug-in, which I have to say I have no experience with. Here is a thread that may give you some other ideas. Good luck.

  • Can i convert a non layered file to a layered file bases on used colors?

    can i convert a non layered file to a layered file bases on used colors?

    I have heard questions like this before.
    Some people seem to think that each colour should be on a separate layer.
    I hope you are not one of them, because it is a complete misconception and defeats the object of Illustrator’s object stacking system.
    Why do you think you need to collect objects of the same colour onto separate layers?

  • Can I convert a 2010 CAB file to 2013 CAB file?

    Can I convert a 2010 CAB file to 2013 CAB file?
    For further information:
    We generate CAB files from MMS Term Store and send it to other teams. Currently we are using 2010 and few consumers are requesting to send a 2013 CAB file. So my question is, can a convert a 2010 CAB file to 2013 CAB file?
    Help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Praveen

    it seems there is no difference between the cab file that SharePoint 2010 exported, and cab file 2013 exported.
    we can export the cab file from 2010, then import to 2013 managed metadata service.
    during this step, please make sure the the account you use is added to the relative db 'bulkadmin' permission, then execute following script to import:
    $mmsApplication = Get-SPServiceApplication | ? {$_.TypeName -eq "Managed Metadata Service"}
    $mmsProxy = Get-SPServiceApplicationProxy | ? {$_.TypeName -eq "Managed Metadata Service Connection"}
    Import-SPMetadataWebServicePartitionData $mmsApplication.Id -ServiceProxy $mmsProxy -Path "C:、mmsdata.cab" -OverwriteExisting
