Capturing with QuickTime Pro?

I have much problems with capturing in FCE: missing frames, out of sync audio, one cassette ok - the second with problems.
Now I capture with QuickTime Pro and import in FCE.
Is this procedure ok?

Excuse me, I forgot: several miniDV cassettes from two different cameras. The camera I use for capturing is yet another (Medion MD 9090) camera.
With iMovie there is no problem to capture but I have learned this is not the right way.
With QuickTime Pro there is also no problem, so I use it now.
Can there any problems using QTP for capturing instead of using FCE?

How do I Capture Streaming video with Quicktime Pro?

In Lamonts post about converting video for the iPod, it was pointed out that one can capture streaming video (Steve Jobs Keynote speech for instance), with Quicktime Pro. I have QT7.04 Pro, but don't know how to do this simple thing. Can someone please tell me?
Smartmart

it's possible. i did it myself, after a few tryouts.
i still can't get the best result, but i got something.
first of all you have to save the streaming file(thru the save as qt movie, from CTRL-click). when you get a stream it gets cached on your computer. you might playback it even when offline. so if all that you need is a simple playback, that's ok. but it's a cache, sometime the system will erase it from your HD.
if you want to keep it as a qt file(or any other format) thats this is the deal. when you save the stream file, it saves a reference file(4kb) that reads the cache. you cannot recover them from the cache, not even by changing the termination, because the qt player won't recognize the .qtch files transformed into .mov.
open the file(reference you saved before), choose export from the file menu, and choose the setting that you want. i still don't get a good quality(i know it's incredible that a stream file has a better quality...) and i still have to export the video separated from the audio. but if you need only the moving image to edit a homevideo, and your only source is a stream, it's a start.
so if anyone feel like growing the knowledge tree, let's go ahead.

Recovering Lost Video Capture in QuickTime Pro

I've got Mac Pro with QuickTime Pro.
I just recorded over an hour of a live presentation with a camcorder hooked up to the Mac Pro via Firewire, using QuickTime Pro's "record" button. I've done this kind of recording many times before and never had a problem. I would hit the record button at the beginning, hit the stop button at the end, and have a QuickTime file on my desktop of the complete video.
But this time QuickTime crashed over an hour into the presentation. Now I'm left with a 0 kilobyte QuickTime file on my desktop. If I try to open it, QuickTime tells me "This is not a movie file".
So where is the ~60 minutes of footage that was captured before QuickTime crashed? Is it hidden away in some obscure capture scratch folder? Is it in a playable format? Is there any way to recover it? Any way at all!?
Thanks so much to anyone who can offer some advice. This is an important video that can't be recorded again since it was a one-time live presentation. I should have put a tape in the camera as a backup but I didn't. You live and you learn.

The file is gone.
Sorry.

I am buying a new macbookpro which comes with Lion. Lion has Quicktime X. Logic Studio comes with Quicktime Pro 7. Do I have to download Quicktime 7, or will Logic Studio work fine with the Quicktime X player? Will there be a Quicktime Pro X soon?

I am buying a new macbookpro which comes with Lion. Lion has Quicktime X. Logic Studio comes with Quicktime Pro 7. Do I have to download Quicktime 7, or will Logic Studio work fine with the Quicktime X player? Will there be a Quicktime Pro X soon?

your new lion-machine should have quicktime 7, too. if it doesn't, and if it doesn't show up after you migrated your stuff from you old machine you can always reinstall it from the logic dvd's, it's part of logic. my recommendation is to always use quicktime 7, since it's got many features that are absent in quicktime x. quicktime x is nothing but a polished video player. in quicktime 7 (pro, comes with logic) you can even do edits and paste your music onto video files. i use it all the time, especially since logic 64bit doesn't export to video anymore.

Help! I cannot play VCD with QuickTime Pro.

I tried to open a .DAT file with QuickTime Pro which alerted me with the following message:
QuickTime cannot open the file AVESQ04.DAT it is not a file that Qucik Time understands (-2048).
However, I read the Help in apple.com, they said it should work. What did I do wrongly???

I have found that if you copy the DAT files to your hard drive, and then change the "DAT" to "MPG" in the file name that Quicktime will play them.
It's been a while, so if I am wrong and "MPG" doesn't work, try "MOV" instead.
I'm pretty sure it was MPG though.
I remember I did this a long time ago, and it worked great.

Using a Capture card with QuickTime Pro

I plan on installing a video capture card (that I haven't used in years) into a Windows Vista computer (which I'm not even sure is compatible with my card) and I want to know if QuickTime Pro can recognize the capture card and record movies that way, rather than via firewire.
I'm looking to record interviews straight into a computer to avoid the "log and capture" step in my usual process.
I've got all the equipment to do it the usual way, but we're stepping up our production timeline at our office and I'm looking to shave off a good four hours of capture time.
I know there are better options out there, but those are in the future (i.e. another budget year) and I'm looking to utilize the resources I've got now. So basically, I've rambled on when my original question remains quite succinctly phrased at the top of this post: "I want to know if QuickTime Pro can recognize the capture card and record movies that way."
P.S. I'm currently awaiting a response from the manufacturers of the card as to whether or not the Vista computer will work with the card.

No, QuickTime Pro cannot be used to capture video, only audio on a system running Windows.

Unable to batch capture with Premiere Pro CC via Kona LHi

AJA's web site claims Premiere Pro CC is compatible with the Kona LHi card, but I can't get the two to work together properly. After repeated tries, I uninstalled and reinstalled everything AJA, but still no luck.
I need to batch capture DV clips from some mini-DV tapes on my Sony MVR035U tape deck. But I also need to upconvert them from 480i to 720p60 using my Kona Lhi card. I should be able to do this with Premiere Pro CC. But the PPCC Capture window won't give me any audio feedback when I select "AJA Movie Capture" in the Capture Settings pull down menu. I only get audio feedback when I enable "DV capture" but then I'm no longer able to upconvert.
Looking forward to any feedback on this issue. Been tying all day to trouble shoot this problem.

And now with CC June 2014 you can't even capture from HDV, I need to go back to Premiere CC 2013 for that....Adobe might think tape capture is over... but it isn't totally yet...

Video files exported with QuickTime Pro 7.2 can't be transferred to iPod

If I use the default Export to iPod export choice in QuickTime Pro 7.2 to export video files and add them to my iTunes 7.3 library, when I try to sync them to my 5th generation iPod with video (November, 2005), I just get the "can't be played on this iPod" message. I can create, transfer, and play video files on my iPod if I create them a different way (by using iSquint, ffmpegX, or No Frills DVD2iPod, for example). Exporting to mpeg4 using h.264 results in the same problem, even though I've used settings I know worked before. The export to iPod export choice does not offer any customization of settings. Although this problem is new, I can't be sure the immediately previous version of QuickTime Pro didn't also have the problem, but I know I have successfully used QuickTime 7 to create videos that could be transferred and played on my iPod in the past. How can I use QuickTime Pro 7.2 to create video files that will be compatible with my iPod? Thanks.
Mac OS X (10.4.10)

I can also verify this (QT Pro 7.2 exporting to .mp4 not compatible
with video iPod [firmware 1.2.1 on both 5G/5.5G units]).
This results in the unusual situation where custom H.264 output
is operable on the iPhone but not the iPod.
Example: your iPhone should play
http://homepage.mac.com/retiarius/sample.elements.mp4
but it won't transfer to a video iPod.
Yes, the workaround is to 'export for iPod' or do the conversion
within 'iTunes', but this in many circumstances will generate
larger files.
The closest description of this situation is:
http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2006-September/015930.html
Perhaps Apple will release a video iPod firmware update soon
to get the 'uuid' atoms and whatever watermarking they are
using these days straightened out.
I'm surprised this hasn't been noticed more by video podcasters
who dutifully use Apple's own QT Pro encoding tool to optimize
filesizes via the tunable H.264/.mp4 codec settings.

Not able to open Windows Media Player files with Quicktime Pro

Hi,
I have recently downloaded a couple of videos that I am planning to use in FCP. The file extension of the downloaded videos is .asf and I am able to play them with Windows Media Player. However, to use them in FCP I have to convert them into Quicktime format. I have Quicktime Pro version 7.0.4 and I was told that I should be able to open the files in Quicktime therefore automatically converting them into quicktime files. It's not working and I am completely out of options and ideas.
Please help if you ever had that problem.
Thanks in advance

As I understand it M$ is providing additional distribution as a sort of "seal of approval."
Don't forget WMV/WMA is a proprietary codec from M$ and involves licensing. In that sense they're providing resources. Apparently the Flip4Mac folks are actually building it themselves though.
Think of it as being in the construction business and you're required to buy the lumber from only one source but you still have to build the house yourself.
I've just got done downloading the newer version and
I hope for improvements.
It looks like M$ is giving some resources to the
flip4mac creators. Maybe a M$ "plant" all along?

Can you record a video from your desktop screen in HD with QuickTime Pro ?

I need to play a video on my computer and record it in the highest possible quality. I came across a program called CamStudio that says it can record your desktop in HD - so I wasnt sure if QuickTime Pro 7 can do that as well.
If someone is also familiar with what kind of computer or monitor i should play my video off of for best quality - i welcome answers to that as well.

QuickTime Player Pro can't record the screen.
QuickTime X can record the screen (but only all of it and not just a window). It's a part of Snow Leopard.

Can I cut & past MOV videos with QuickTime Pro ?

I have a couple of DigiCam Quicktime MOV videos which I want to cut & paste.
Is this possible with a QuickTime Pro installation (under WinXP) ?
Is there any other alternative software which let me do such simple tasks with Quicktime MOV videos?
Peter

Yes.
QuickTime Player Pro allows editing of nearly any format it can "play". MPEG-1 can be viewed but not edited.

How do you identify computers with Quicktime Pro vs. player?

We use MS SCCM to inventory hardware and software. Many of our workstations have Quicktime Player (free) installed, but some groups have Quicktime Pro (not free).
I need to identify all computers that have Quicktime Pro. The problem is, if you look in Add/Remove Programs inventory, player and pro both show up as "Quicktime". They have the same version number, same product ID, same executables... I am not finding any way to differentiate between player and pro on two inventoried machines.
Is there ANY difference that I would be able to identify in inventory? (unique executable, different executable size etc...)
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Dave,
You are correct. Using SCCM I am able to produce a list of about 350 workstations that have "Quicktime" in their Add/Remove Programs menu. I need to identify which of those 350 are Quicktime Pro. Remoting into each of them to check that menu would be out of the question...
I did compare that preference file on a workstation with player vs. a workstation with Pro (at least I tried to) and I noticed that the machine with player was lacking that file. It had a different OS so I though I may have been looking in the wrong place, but if you are correct about that files presence only on machines with Pro then that could be my trigger...
Thank you so much for that input, I will verify on a few more machines and if it turns out to be true I may be able to modify my inventory collection to include that file so I can query on it.
I appreciate the help, I'll post back with what I find for the record.

How to open MPG files with Quicktime PRO

I have just bought my first Mac.
I have a lot of videos, that I did with my Sony DVD webcam,
and I used the sony software to download them.
All of them are in MPG extension.
Not MPEG2 or other, just MPG.
But the Quick time says:
The movie could not be opened.
The file is not a movie file.
How can I open them ?
Thanks

I just need the Apple MPEG-2 Playback Component, right ?
As indicated above, you need both the QT MPEG-2 Playback component (handles the MPEG-2 video data only) and an application like MPEG Streamclip (free) to handle the demultiplexing of the "muxed" data and act as a data bridge to the QT environment. Basically you are dealing with two somewhat different methods of storing and playing data. In the first case, the audio and video data is stored in "blocks" of data that are spatially interspersed in a single data stream to maintain physical synchronization. QT, on the other hand, is based on multiple tracks of data which are synchronized temporally to an external clock. The problem is changing the former to the later and keeping the audio and video content in proper synchronization.
So, today I bought the QuickTime pro and just thinking about editing the films in imovie, it will be of no help then... right?
As indicated above, MPEG-1/2 files are "playback" only compatible with QT and then only if the correct QT components are installed. They are only partially "conversion" compatible since QT, by itself, can only handle the video or the audio data but not both at the same time which is necessary for temporal synchronization of both to a common clock reference. Further, since source data does not have common time references for both audio and video data, it cannot be edited in its "muxed" state in time based app like QT. So if you were planning on using QT 7 Pro and the MPEG-2 Playback component to convert your files to an iMovie editable format, then yes, you wasted your money buying a QT 7 Pro key here. On the other hand, QT 7 Pro can convert/edit MPEG-2 content which is stored as elementary data streams (i.e., separate tracks) of data within a file container. In addition, if you plan to layer, scale, mask, etc. content (i.e., picture-with-picture, picture-in-picture, backgrounded video, etc. effects), then QT 7 Pro would be very useful for "quickie" edits not requiring a full-blown video editor. (I personally recommend having both QT 7 Pro and MPEG Streamclip installed as each has complementary editing features not found in the other.)
