Can quicktime pro capture video stream?

Can QT pro record video streams off the internet? I thought it was only able to capture embedded video files. Video streams aren't donwloaded into cache, so they have to be saved as they're received. Could someone clarify? Thank you.

Pro can't save true streaming media.

  • Can Quicktime Pro capture Micromv?

    hey guys, i have been researching this alot, and have had alot of trouble about this, i have a sony dcr-ip5 camera that records micromx format, yea remember those things??? anyways i read somewhere that quicktime pro is able to import that video format from my camera into my macbook using quicktime, and maybe imovie? i think? does anyone know if quicktime pro can read micromc from my camera?? any help would be GREATLY appreciated, thanks guys! merry christmas to everyone
    Macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    anyways i read somewhere that quicktime pro is able to import that video format from my camera into my macbook using quicktime, and maybe imovie?Strange, the reviews I read said just the opposite. First off, QT and iMovie use the same system structures (QT) for conversion and editing. So what applies to one also applies to the other. In this case neither support the import/editing of MPEG-2 compressed files in their normal configuration. You can, of course, purchase the QT MPEG-2 video component ($19.99) from Apple, but would probably only allow playback (probaby without audio), no editing (in MPEG2 format), and, at best, only allow conversion of video data to a fully supported QT compatible format. (iMovie only edits DV compressed files.)
    If you already have the QT MPEG-2 component installed, you might try an MPEG based third-party application like MPEG Streamclip (free) for conversion to DV here. However, be advised that most reviews for this product indicate the MPEG-2 compression is non-standard and may or may not be recognized for conversion. In addition, at least one review indicated the FireWire connection was also "special" and it, as well as, the camerera may not be recognized by the computer unless the user employs "Movieshaker" (Sony's "consumer video editing software") or Pinnacle's Video Studeo, which I assume are PC oriented. In addition, at the time of the writing of this review, no MPEG-2 dedicated capture utilities (mostly PC) were compatible.

  • Can Quicktime Pro convert  Flip MinoHD video for Adobe Premiere 2.0

    The Flip MinoHD shoots pretty good video that I want to edit in Adobe Premiere 2.0. The problem is that the Flip HD files are in a .mp4 format that Premiere doesn't recognize.
    Can Quicktime Pro convert the Flip .mp4 files into
    1) .avi files 720x480 with the DV standard that Adobe Premiere 2.0 can edit? I believe this type of file is a "type 2 avi".
    2) a type of HD file that Adobe Premiere 2.0 can edit (when editing HD video - mostly from my sony HD camcorder whose files work fine with Premiere.)?

    If QT Player can open those files, it should be able to export them into a format Premiere can work with. You can see the export formats QuickTime supports here:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/pro/specs.html
    Note that AVI is a container format. QT, I believe, exports AVI using the Cinepak codec by default, so make sure Premiere supports that or select a different format (DV Stream, perhaps).
    Pro adds nothing in the way of playback capabilities, so try the free QuickTime and see if it can open and play those files. If it can't, then don't waste your money on a QuickTime Pro key.

  • Can Quicktime Pro convert to .wmv?

    That's pretty much it in a nutshell!
    I have made some movies through iMovie, but need to have them in Windows Media Viewer format as well for use on our website, can Quicktime Pro do this?
    Or can I do this through iMovie?
    Most of the reviews on the Quicktime Pro website are against the software, but go on about iPods more than anything.
    Thanks all.

    There is also Popwire's $39 WMV-9 Export Component.
    http://www.popwire.com/productinfo.php?cPath=1&productsid=7&osCsid=a75e8c617669a7584718d34bc11a9b5f
    Flip4Mac offers more export options at a higher price however Flip4Mac is also suffering from problems due to its use of the eSellerate authorization system. If you have any other software that uses eSellerate, consider going with Popwire's software instead (which does not use eSellerate.)
    Other options are available as stand-alone programs such as Cleaner 6

  • Can QT Pro capture streaming video from webcams?

    I'm trying to capture segments of video from the National Geographic's Wildcam Africa, in which they have a live feed of video from a waterhole in Africa 24/7. Can QT Pro do this? (All I can find is info on creating streaming video with QT.)

    SnapZ Pro can create any format of QuickTime when you "finalize" the file. You only get one choice at this step so you must plan ahead.
    If you capture at 640X480 and export to DV Stream you can edit that file with iMovie. Adjust your Display dimensions so your capture gets the biggest version of the on screen area. If the play window is small (most are 320X240) set your Display to 800X600 prior to capture and see if it helps.

  • Can Quicktime Pro convert CamStudio video into iMovie?

    Dear All
    I use CamStudio to record some Windows application presentations. I heard that QuickTime Pro gives the ability to convert any playable movie to be converted to formats that iMovie accepts. I am pondering if I should by QuickTime pro or not. Could you please give me some advice? Here are my questions.
    I am wondering if anyone has tried to import the video recorded using CamStudio to QuickTime Pro and convert to a format that iMovie can accept and edit?
    Another question would be, is there any formatting limitation iMovie possesses which limits the merger of two videos from two sources?
    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    Here's the summary of what I did :
    Downloaded [CamStudio|http://camstudio.org>
    Openen VirtualBox on my Mac and installed Camstudio in Win XP.
    Made a screenmovie.
    Saved it to the Mac.
    Opened it in QT Pro on the Mac.
    Exported it to QuickTime (.mov) and MPEG-4 (.mp4).
    Opened both in iMovie.
    Made movie with both clips.
    Exported it to .m4v.
    So it is possible.
    And here's the movie : [CamStudio|http://www.wyodor.net/_Discussions/CamStudio.html]

  • Can Quicktime Pro convert .mkv video formats to mp4 video formats

    I purchased Quicktime Pro believing it could convert .mkv video formats to MP4 video formats, however, the resulting output file is just a 60kb file from an original 971,936 kb file.
    I registered the key as given to me in the purchase receipt email, I used Export to MRP, I selected the input .mkv file. All seemed to be OK until it ended creating the short 60kb file.
    Suggestions please.
    Mel from Oakville.

    I purchased Quicktime Pro believing it could convert .mkv video formats to MP4 video formats, however, the resulting output file is just a 60kb file from an original 971,936 kb file.
    As indicated on the Apple web site, keying the QT Player for "Pro" use merely unlocks editing and conversion features built into the app but not available without the key. It does not add any new file type or codec support beyond that for which the QT Player is already configured on your platform.
    I registered the key as given to me in the purchase receipt email, I used Export to MRP, I selected the input .mkv file. All seemed to be OK until it ended creating the short 60kb file.
    An MKV file will convert only if you have support for both the MKV file container (which is not natively QT compatible) and codecs to handle the specific codecs contained in the MKV file container if available for QT use.
    Suggestions please.
    I do not normally use MKV files on a daily basis and so, on those occasions when I do need to use them as a source for conversions to mobile devices, I use the free HandBrake application. As I see it, you can either try to add the missing support needed to use QT 7 Pro or you could download HandBrake for iTunes managed/mobile device files or use FFmpeg (on which HandBrake is based) for more general target conversions. As a non-PC user, I am assuming here that the Windows versions of both the HandBrake and FFmpeg apps have the same features as are available in the Mac versions of these apps.

  • Can Quicktime Pro version 7 import the WMV video files?

    With my previous Quicktime Pro version 6, I couldn't import the .wmv files. Is there any enhancement on Quicktime Pro version 7 to support .wmv files import?

    QT 7 still doesn't import .wmv files. There are some plug-ins for Mac systems but so far no one has mentioned any for Windows. Since sometimes people with Macs post in this group (and you don't list your platform in your message) I will include a link to one of the companies that makes such plug-ins for Mac:

  • Quicktime pro recording video playback too fast

    I'm using Quicktime Pro to make a video recording with audio using the "Best" settings in the preferences (i.e. h264 encoding). When playing these videos back, the audio sounds good, but the video framerate seems almost x2 the speed as it should be. Below is the output of ffmpeg on one such movie. The output points to the fact that there's a problem with framerates, but I'm not really sure how to interpret it towards getting a solution. Any ideas on how to fix this so that we get audio video sync'd up and at the right speed?

    Hello,
    I think it has something to do with audio settings in your camera.
    There's a menu where you can choose 12bits audio or 16bits audio.
    Change the setting and try again.

  • Can quicktime play an video track with multiple alternate audio tracks?

    Hi,
    If I have a video track with multiple alternate audio tracks (say different languages), can a user select the audio track of his choice and play in Quick time?
    Thanks,
    Apurva

    Does quick time/ safari have this capability?
    QT (i.e., the QT structure embeded in current Mac OS/device IOS versions) has the ability to switch between alternative audio tracks assuming the file is properly encoded and the compression format is supported. QT 7, QT X, iTunes, and similar app player GUIs can switch between such tracks during playback but the QT plug-in cannot. In a similar manner, devices like TV can switch between such tracks but an iPhone cannot just as an iPhone can select "Chapters" but the QT browser plug-in cannot but an iPhone file programmed with both chapters and alternate audio tracks can be played back through a TV device and access both chapters and alternative audio tracks.
    What I want to use is one video track with alternate audio tracks in a set level manifest and play this using HTTP Live streaming. I'm using the manifest mentioned here :
    http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-pantos-http-live-streaming-07#section-8.7
    Since I do not use playlists, I am not familiar with the approach in your example. If I want alternate audio and/or video tracks, I create standalone video files with these features built in. Nor do I use RTSP if that is what you mean by "live streaming" of content. If I want to "stream" the content, I use "Fast Start" files programmed to open in the QT player app which supports these features or create reference or QT Media Link files that do the same thing.
    As you mentioned, Safari on my iPhone is playing the default/first alternate audio track mentioned but not giving an option to switch tracks.
    Neither Safari nor the Video app GUIs on your iPhone have a built in switching option. The only way to switch to alternate audio tracks is to do so with QT 7 Pro or possibly iTunes before loading or streaming the video file. (Am still speaking about a standalone file here and not a programmed playlist/RTSP switch.)
    However Quick time on my Mac machine only plays the audio with the the video stream and not the alternate audio track.
    The QT player app GUI only switches between tracks that are stored as part of the standalone file. Basically, QT files may contain up to 99 individual data tracks. In alternative audio videos, multiple audio tracks are added to the file by an editor like QT 7 Pro but only one track is designated as "active." All other tracks are designated as "inactive." The QT player GUI allows the viewer to select which audio track he or she wants to hear and then turns off the current audio track and turns on the selected audio track. Otherwise all active tracks would play simultaneously.
    Is there a way to switch tracks on my iPhone on Safari?
    As previously noted, the default track can be manually changed by QT 7 Pro or, I believe, iTunes (used to have this capability) before actually loading or streaming content.
    Does quicktime have this capability?
    As far as I know, only with regard to stand alone files programmed with multiple alternate tracks. I am not a HTML, HTML5, or Java programmer so I assume there may be web alternatives here but they would be beyond the scope of my expertise.
    Do you know any free player that can do this?
    Again, I don't use either playlists or RTSP so I've never had a need to look for/use alternative players that might meet your needs. I simply find it easier to build files that work correctly in current player app/device GUIs already having these capabilities.
    Or the very last option, can I build a player to do this? If yes can you suggest where/how I start?
    Once again, I assume this might be possible but not part of my experience since, for my part, easier work flows are available.

  • What is a M3U file and can QuickTime Pro convert

    I am on You Tube, and am having all kinds of people wanting to be in my video's. So I had this girl shoot some footage and send it to me, and it came as a M3U file. When i clikc it , iTunes opens, I think it's some kind of streaming file? She has a Sony camera, and just uploads from her camera onto You tube, with NO prolbmes. Will QuickTime Pro convert this to a .MOV file, or is there a program that will do this? i slo have Final Cut Pro...but I could not get that to do it.

    The .m3u extension is a "playlist" file and is audio only.

  • How can I turn captured video into a DVD

    I am a premiere newbie. Can anyone tell me the basic steps to take captured video (already can do..) and turn it into a DVD which can be read on a regular TV-DVD player.? Even a few basic starter steps to send me down the right road would be helpful and VERY appreciated. I can capture to Premiere (Pro CS4), but then what? Thank you!!

    OK, you've got your material Captured from your camera. It should appear in your Project Panel. At this point, your Timeline will be empty. This is where the editing comes in. I'll keep it simple, as there are a couple of ways to do this.
    1.) from the Project Panel, drag each Video Clip to the Timeline's Video Track 1. The accompanying Audio wll come in with it, and should go to Audio Track 1, below that little "beltline," that separates your Video (above) and Audio (below).
    2.) you can alter the Duration of your Clip by click-dragging on the Head, to shorten it there, or from the Tail, to shorten it there. If you have material that you wish to remove from anywhere but the Head or Tail, look in the Toolbox, usually to the lower-right, but it can be moved. There is a Razor icon. Place the CTI (Current Time Indicator - that little triangle with a red line, that moves when you hit the Spacebar) where you wish to Cut with the Razor. Click with the Razor selected and both Video and Audio will be sliced. Move to where you wish this extra footage to end, and do the same thing. Rt-click on this new "Clip" and Choose Ripple Delete. This will remove that segment and close up the other parts of the Clip. Repeat for all of the rest of your media Assets.
    3.) add any Transitions, music, etc.
    4.) when done, you will Export this to Adobe Encore for DVD authoring. There are several ways to do this, but Adobe Dynamic Link is probably the easiest way.
    5.) in Encore (if you use DL all selected Timelines will come into that program w/ Audio and Video), you create your navigation with Menus (Encore has a full Library of these).
    6.) Check Project
    7.) when done, chose File>Burn to DVD.
    Note: use good media, like Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden and burn at the slowest possible speed.
    Done and good luck,
    Hunt
    PS remember that there are many ways to do the steps above. The manual and the Help files will go into a lot more detail, and you might find that you like another way better. Read, and then experiment.

  • Sample rate/quicktime pro audio/video

    Hi all:
    Have a few questions related to Quicktime pro on mac related to sample rate of audio and video...any help understanding much appreciated...
    I am a music composer using logic pro and recently started working with filmakers who send me quicktime files of the video to score to...
    regarding sample rate of audio as played back in quicktime...I'm a bit confused....
    When playing back either an MP3,wave,Aiff at 44.1k or 48k
    seems that quicktime plays at the right speed and pitch of audio...Does Quicktime use it's own audio processor to convert sample rates in real time at playback?
    When I play a video track with audio recorded at 44.1k or even an MP3...and playback on my soundcard set at 48k...it does play at correct pitch...even though theory of audio tells me that the sample rate is very inportant especially when playing back...sample rate needs to be the same on both the soundcard audio clock and the software...
    Is this part of the magic of quicktime or am I missing something.
    Even a bit more confused when I got a dialog file from a filmaker attached to his quicktime file that he thougnt was in 44.1k...was actually 48k...so when taken out of quicktime and put in another enviornment for editing that became really important and avident that the samplerate audio rules outside of quicktime applied...
    Am I correct then in my understanding that when working only in the quicktime enviornment that the rules of audio sample rate do not apply?
    Thanks for thoughts...
    regards
    vibes

    All you may ever want to know about QT, audio and OS X:
    http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MusicAudio/Reference/CoreAudio/index.ht ml
    QuickTime 7 is a major re-write and it now has many more options for audio. Multiple channel support (up to 24) and sample rates of double DV Stream settings.
    Magic is how it works.
