Convert a movie from Quicktime to MPEG4 in MPEG Streamclip

I want to convert a movie from Quicktime (.mov) which I created in Final Cut Express to MPEG4 in MPEG Streamclip to be able to see it on my Samsung TV. The problem is that the uncompressed movie, comverted only from Quicktome to MPEG 4, stops almost every moment on my Samsung TV. I have connected an external harddrive in NTFS there via USB 2.0 (Samsung TV cannot play movies in HFS etc.). The uncompressed movies are bigger than 4GB in Quicktime.
I got the following information from Samsung (in German):
"Sie berichten, dass Filme zum Laden stoppen, die auf Ihrem MacBook Pro flüssig laufen. Bitte beachten Sie hierbei, dass der Fernseher hinsichtlich Rechenleistung nicht mit einem Computer vergleichbar ist. Weiters verfügt der Fernseher über einen USB 2.0 Anschluss, was die übertragbare Datenmenge ebenfalls begrenzt.
Die allgemeinen Spezifikationen für Videodateien finden Sie im Benutzerhandbuch ab Seite 248:
http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/201112/20111208190112921/Web_GSDVBE UA_GER.pdf
Auf Seite 251 finden Sie für MPEG4-Videos folgende Beschränkung: Bei "mehr als 1280 x 720: max. 30 Frames".
Als Alternative schlagen wir Ihnen vor, Ihr MacBook Pro per HDMI direkt an den Fernseher anzuschließen, die Videos auf dem MacBook Pro abzuspielen und den Fernseher als Monitor zu verwenden. In diesem Fall entfallen die vorher genannten Beschränkungen."
I ask here how to use MPEG streamclip (free version; I use 1.9.2) so convert my movies into MPEG 4 so that I cann watch it on my Samsung TV.
I filled out "Bildrate" "30" but this did not work. I have chosen less quality but there are still - less - interruptions and I find it laborious to test different versions of less quality so that it might work.
I ask you also because I want to create my movies to give it to other people via the internet (f.i. via rapidshare) but I need a smaller size of my movies and do not know all the different TVs my friends have. I cannot imagine that it is not possible to create a movie in MPEG 4 that cannot be seen in many TVs via an external harddrive?

I know that I can do that also in FCE. It takes much more time to convert a movie into MPEG4 than to export it as uncompressed movie in QuickTime which I can use f.i. in iDVD to burn a DVD or watch it on my MBP.
But I don't know the versions of TVs of other people if I want to send them the movie via internet f.i. via mydrive.ch etc. which have limited space if used for free. So which settings to choose for an output in MPEG4?
For my one use it is o.k. if the movie can be seen correctly in MPEG4 on my TV but I can also watch it via my MBP on my TV via HDMI.

  • Trying to export movie from QuickTime Pro to AVI and getting white screen

    Hi there,
    I am trying to export a movie from QuickTime Pro to an an AVI file. It goes through the process as if everything has worked, but when I open the finished file, all I get is a white screen with no audio or picture.
    I need to save lectures from school from the school website to my computer so that I can watch them when I do not have internet access. QuickTime gives me the option to save the video straight from the web, but as soon as I turn off my AirPort it tells me that I need internet to continue watching the movie..
    I need some way to get the files to my computer. Any suggestions?

    AVI is just a container ... specifically, which codec are you using when exporting? And why export to AVI?

    That usually means that your system doesn't have the codec installed needed to view the video, but your web browser is using a plugin that does. What format are the web videos? Flash?

  • How to convert a movie from iMovie to avi?

    Hello all
    I would like to convert a movie from iMovie to avi, what i should do??
    You have any ideas??
    Thx.

    AVI has been dead for many years and is the wrong container to share files.
    Since you've published the file to YouTube the viewer only needs Flash Player to view it.
    If you are trying to "share" the source file so the Windows user can make edits then you need to tell us more about it.
    What codecs, dimensions are available to make such an "export"?

  • No audio in Quicktime AVI files in MPEG Streamclip

    When I import a Quicktime AVI file into MPEG Streamclip to edit, there is no audio. Annoyingly, if I convert that AVI file into an MP4 file and then import it into Streamclip the audio is working; but the loss of image quality is not acceptable. Any suggestions? Thanks

  • Share movie from Quicktime X to MobileMe Gallery with password protection?

    Is it possible to share a movie using "Share" -> "MobileMe Gallery" with userid/password protection like from iPhoto or iMovie.
    I can share it from Quicktime X to MobileMe but the movie is 'public' on my gallery.
    Thanks,

    Not with QuickTime X (at this time).
    Use iPhoto to make a "private" Gallery page.

  • How do you convert a movie from .mov to .jpeg or a format compatible with non iOS computers?

    I created a movie on iMovie that I would like to share with family members through a flash drive.  The problem is is that they don't have iOS computers.  How do I convert my movie in iMovie from .mov to a file compatible with other computers?  Thank you

    Yes, normally the whole point of making it an XFA is so you can type in it. You must use Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat to fill it.

  • Trying to convert my movie from Imovie to a high quality Itunes file and the program keeps crashing! This is an xmas gift for my mom ! Please help

    Help! I made a 10 min movie for my mom for Christmas. Whenever I try to "share" it to make a cd of it the program keeps crashing! I HAVE to get this in the mail by friday! Please help

    iTunes will not directly convert a protected AAC song. It also cannot convert some songs that are corrupted or have bad ID3 tags.
    If it constantly fails at the same song, try eliminating that song from the list.
    I have also found out that converting 400+ songs at a time can cause a fatal crash within iTunes. I usually stick to 200-250 songs at a time.
    Post back with more details if it still happens.

  • How to take 16:9 HD Movie from QuickTime player and play 4:3 letterbox

    We have a movie created in Final Cut Pro in HDV, so it is 16x9 and it plays just fine having been exported as a QuickTime movie.
    The idea is to distribute it to some people that have 4:3 SD televisions, so we want to make a DVD that will play in those TV's but will not cut off the sides or distort the picture - in other words, to letterbox it.
    I tried creating a 4:3 project in iDVD, and dragging the quicktime movie in. It seemed to be letterboxed in the preview window, but when I burned the disc, not only was it not letterboxed, but it cut off the sides of the picture. Even playing it on a 16:9 TV had the sides cut off.
    Can someone suggest how to accomplish this?

    The original movie was exported from Final Cut Pro into QuickTime so it was 1920x1080 using the HDV 1080i60 codec. This resulted in a QuickTime movie file. After reading your reply I opened this .mov file in QuickTime player and exported it using the DV codec (best quality, 16x9, progressive). Under "Size" in the dialog, there was an option to "Preserve Aspect Ratio Using.." and I selected "letterbox".
    This produced what looks like a DV 853x480 file that looks letterboxed. I opened a new iDVD project, selected 4:3 as the ratio (since this will be viewed on a 4x3 Tv; that is the idea of making sure it is letterboxed) and imported the new file. It came out 4x3 stretched. So I guess I did something wrong.
    What should I do differently?

  • No Audio when converting a movie from iphoto into iweb.

    Hi there,
    I have a Sony Camera W17 which takes stills and short movies. I often grab little bit so film of the kids.
    Today it was my daugthers birthday so I am in a hurry to get stuff up on my web page as we have moved to the opposite side of the world to our family.
    So heres the problem. When I import the stills and movie I use iphoto and I can see all in there (although the duplicate option is crap for movies).
    Now if I import them from the camera into imovie or copy across from iphoto I lose my sound. I really want to use the compressing function in imovie so I can add to my web page via iweb. The problem is that I lose the sound so I resort to copying the file in iphoto and taking it straight to iweb. These files are too large for most people to view.
    Has anyone gots any tips as to how I get around this? What is causing the sound to get lost yet I can hear it in iphoto. I read somewhere that says its to do with the file type but I am not sure.
    Thanks for your help.
    Poppetbed.

    Are you losing the sound on the movies or the stills?

  • How can I transfer movie (mov) from Quicktime pro MAC to PC?

    I have a film exported from final cut to Quick time pro (mov) and then I would like to transfer this format to Quick Time (normal) in a PC. There it reminds me to look for a plug in. What plug in or do I need Quick time pro for PC. The fact is: I do not get a picture in Quick time in PC. Only sound!

    There it reminds me to look for a plug in. What plug in or do I need Quick time pro for PC. The fact is: I do not get a picture in Quick time in PC. Only sound!
    Playback requires the PC media player to access the same "plug-in" component codec as was used to create the MOV file. What codec did you edit with in FCP? Did you "export" the edited project from FCP or QT 7 Pro using a codec supported by your PC? Or did you save the FCP project to an MOV file container using the same codec used in FCP for editing which may or may not have been a FCP "Pro" editing codec installed by FCP and not available for use on your PC? You do not need to upgrade your PC QT Player for "Pro" use since this does not add any playback codec components to your PC configuration. In most cases your are better off exporting your FCP projects from FCP or QT & Pro as H.264/AAC files for general distribution to various platforms and/or Internet use.

  • Is there a way of triggering a movie from Quicktime at a specified time? For example the time is 21:00 and I want the movie to begin playing at 21:30.

    Thanks

    Sure - easiest way is to make an album for photos you want to order and drag photos to it - when it is complete open the album, select all and order

  • How do I convert a .mov created in iMovie to an .mpeg?

    I am trying to post a slide show/movie I created on a website's Media Gallery. They need the file to be .mpg or .mpeg. or .wmv. (The web master said the coding isn't as important than the file type when I asked if mpeg 2, or mpeg 4 was ok. I don't understand the difference between coding & file type) I exported it to my desktop from imovie and it's a .mov. I've tried ffmpegX converter to create a .wmv but only the first 30 seconds gets converted. I have QT pro, but that's about it.
    Help,
