How do you convert .mov to .mpeg or .wmv?! please help!!!

i made a video and put it up on YouTube.com, and tons of people have emailed me saying they want to download it. however, the only format i can put it in is .mov and .mp4 and windows computers can't play these formants.....at least i don't think they can. can they play .mov? i know for a fact they can't play .mp4......
so i was hoping someone knows about some type of converter so I can let my windows friends download it.....that way they don't have to go to youtube all the time just to see it.....if you do, it has to be a free download cuz i'm poor. lol.
thanks again......
remember, i'm trying to convert .mp4 or .mov TO .wmv or .mpeg

* the .mov container can be handled by any PC with a free download of Quicktime for Windows; but many PC users hesitate doing so, because on the Apple website it looks like you instali iTunes too... many PC don't like that...
* .mp4 can be handled by any actual PC mediaplayer... again: PC users are used to import .wmv (or the very old .avi container/not supported by YouTube)
* for exporting .wmv on a Mac, you need to buy a licence at www.flip4mac.com
* mpeg... the MotionPictureExpertGroup published many codecs... mpeg1, mpeg2, mpeg4, h261, h264. .... but using iM as exporter, all these mpegs will be "hidden" in the QT container .mov... with QTpro you can strip-off the container, but I recommed the beginner to use one of the above mentioned options......

Converting .mov file to mpeg-4 from Quicktime Pro (Player 7)

I have, in the past, converted .mov files to mpeg-4 with Quicktime Pro successfully, without quality being an issue. However, now the quality of the movie is grainy and pixellating. What am I doing wrong? Please help me. Thank you.

Sounds like a setting has changed on you. Have you done an upgrade of QuickTime? Have you exported a low-res version of something recently. My QT Pro setting always seem to default to the most recent settings.
Also, when exporting to .mp4, I find that the H.264 setting seems to work better...especially when I crank up the data rate.
Hope this helps.

Converting AVI to MPEG on Windows XP OS

YOu need to learn how to use FCP. Sorry, no offense needed, and I know it sounds harsh. But from reading that I can tell you have no idea about how to properly import tapeless media into FCP...and don't know what formats FCP works with...nor know what formats the cameras record. This is all basic stuff you need to know before you edit. Editing isn't only creative, but lately highly technical as well...you need to know what your software is capable of doing, and how to get the footage into it properly.
You cannot do what you did...directly drag from the cameras into FCP. No...it needs to be imported, typically with LOG AND TRANSFER...and converted from the shooting format, which typically isn't natively editable in FCP (want native, use Adobe Premiere...). It needs to be converted to ProRes. And yes, the file sizes of ProRes are a LOT bigger than the camera originals. 4-5 times larger. That's how FCP works.
Here's a quick tutorial to get you started. But then I suggest getting to know the editing system better.

Converting movie library from DV to Mpeg

I have a number of DV imports in my iMovie 08 library, but they take up such a huge amount of HD space. Is there an easy way to convert these to mpeg and keep them in my library without having to add them to a project, export them and then reimport them?
Thanks,
Scott

Is there an easy way to convert these to mpeg and keep them in my library without having to add them to a project, export them and then reimport them?
If you are done creating your project in iMovie, the normal procedure is to archive and/or remove the raw footage from your hard drive and keep the project output files for viewing/sharing. iMovie is not intended to be a a video manager or multimedia player like iTunes, the QT Player, or Front Row.
As to actually converting your files to MPEG-2, You can simply use iDVD or Ti Toast to create Video_TS Folders/image files which can be left stored on your hard drive but this limits you to applications like Front Row, the Apple DVD Player, VLC, MPEG Streamclip or similar applications for playback. Programs like bitVice or Compressor can be used to create elementary MPEG-2 and AIFF streams playable in QT (if you have the MPEG-2 component installed) or other multimedia players. My own personal choice would be to use iTunes to manage the default H.264/AAC files produced by iMovie '08 for viewing in iTunes, Front Row, QT Player, iPhone, iPod, TV, and can also be shared on-line giving you the most options for viewing and sharing.

After converting my camera mpeg movies, no sound on iTouch

The movie plays fine on iTouch, but there is no sound. Is this a bug, or is it by design?

HT5409 can i convert movies from iPad to mac laptop

Ihave download a movie from ipad but it will not play on my mac air laptop with quicktime installed..??

Ihave download a movie from ipad but it will not play on my mac air laptop with quicktime installed..??
Are you going to give us any additional clues as to what you are really asking here?
1) The "HT5409" in your subject title reference implies you are dealing with AVCHD content. If true, then how did you transfer them to your iPad and how did you transfer them from your iPad to your your MacBook Air platform? As the HT409 topic clearly stated, this can be very important. In addition, how are the files stored? For instance , have you extracted the MPEG-4 AVC content as transport streams or is the content still in the device recorded file form? Are you trying to edit the content or convert it to M4V, MP4, or MOV files directly?
2) The "can i convert movies from iPad to mac laptop" part of your subject title is confusing. Yes, AVCHD files can be converted to simpler MPEG-4 AVC content that is compatible with all current and most older Mac computers and Apple mobile devices in MOV, MP4, and/or M4V file formats. However, how you do this will depend on the current form of the data and the target settings you wish to employ to ensure compatibility with the various target device possibilities. Further, non-AVCHD content (e.g., HD iPad video recordings) can also be downconverted to simpler settings in a similar manner if needed or required if that is your questing.
3) Depending on your operating system, both AVCHD and MPEG-4 AVC content should already be compatible with QT X v10.2 and v10.3 players if properly transferred to your laptop from the recording device. And, even if improperly transferred, may still be converted to useable/compatible formats as long as the file itself has not been corrupted by your, as yet, unspecified workflow.
4) What does "will not play on my mac air laptop with quicktime installed" mean here? Are you trying to play an AVCHD movie in the QT 7 player or one of the QT X players? If the latter, which one? Are you getting any error message? If so, what are they? If not playing in your main user account on the computer, does it play useing a different account? Do the files play in other, third-party multimedia players?
Basically, your question is the equivalent of my saying my car won't start but failing to mention whether or not I am out of gas, my battery is dead, or that I have removoed the distributor cap, wires, or spark plugs from the engine. To properly solve the issue we need all possible information that you can provide describing exactly what you are doing, how you are doing it, what is not working as your expect it should, and what your goals are. In cases where you cannot answer such questions, it is often helpful to simply post/upload a sample "problem" file and let other users here examine it to determine the problem and/or suggest a specific solution for your particular system/configuration combination.

Converting movies to mov. format

Is there anyone who can tell me how to convert movies to mov. format. I have tried other solutions but non seem to work except for when I download an mov. file/movie. Does anyone now of any programs that do that. Thanks

yes, go under export and you'll see the supporting
formats.
QT does not create DVDs, though.
QT Pro allows you to re-encode video but not to
switch containers (to change formats). You can use
MPEG
Streamclip for switching containers.

Not true, you can re-encode in QTP to multiple other formats and use also different containers

Working with converted .mov files in Premiere Elements 2

I recently got a digital camera that records .mov clips with H.264 technology. I use it for back up when Im having problems with my regular camcorder. Of course I can work with these .mov files in QuickTime Pro with no problem. But in order to work with them in Premiere Elements 2, it appears I have to export it into the .avi format first. After exporting in QuickTime Pro, when I bring the new .avi file up into Premiere Elements, the color quality is retained, but much of the resolution is lost. Its very pixelated. I understand that .avi and .mov work differently in the way information is stored avi in chunks and mov in streams, but Im wondering if there is a way I can work around this. The reason why I got QuickTime Pro initially was to be able to convert my finished .avi videos made in Premiere Elements 2 into MPEG-4 files using the H.264 codec for better quality. And Im doing that all the time now with no problem. So I am wondering if when I reconvert the .mov clip thats been converted into .avi back into mpeg-4, will the resolution be restored? That is part of my question. The other part is regarding the initial conversion process. Are there settings in QuickTime Pro for converting .mov to .avi with as little loss in resolution as possible? The manual doesnt address this issue specifically. Any ideas or suggestions? OS is Windows XP Media Center edition, computer Sony Vaio dual processor. Thanks, Judy

Hi again Steve. I'm so embarrassed. After my initial reply to your message I went to the Adobe site to see if they even made Premiere for Mac and learned they don't. I also read a review in Wired that says Premiere 6 is just as good if not better than iMovie which they say has actually been downgraded. I'm using Premiere 2, so I thought I might consider upgrading. Then I watched "Steve's Story" and realized it was you. (Your daughter is a cutie! Adobe must love you.) So my question is this: Would my problem be solved by simply upgrading to Premiere 4? If I do that, would it be compatible with regard to catalog integration with Photoshop Elements 4 or would I have to upgrade to Elements 6? If I upgraded the whole package would my current Photoshop Elements 4 catalog transfer with all tags intact? This is vital for me to know because I rely on them heavily. I realize that I would be skipping a version in the upgrade. Is that possible? Does that matter? Please read my reply to Bill because it explains why I want to use those particular .mov files. Another question for you. I use your excellent book a lot. If I upgrade will it become useless? Finally, since you're the expert, let me tell you what I'm really aiming for and get your advice. I need to start composing my own musical soundtracks to my videos. I want to do it as I'm viewing the timeline. Therefore, I know I need to invest in a midi-capable keyboard or controller and software. The problem is that there are few controllers compatible with Windows XP Media Center Edition. I am told I would need to disable the XP Media Center registry keys for anything to work which wouldn't matter because I don't use Media Center features anyway (like TV hookup, media player, etc.). But messing with the registry sounds a little complex and dangerous to me. There's got to be an easier way. Do you have any advice or recommendations? Can you point me to any helpful resources? Now you see why I want a Mac? Everyone says all this kind of stuff would be so much easier with a Mac. Problem is I have a limited budget and would like to make the most with what I have. I hope I haven't overtaxed you with my questions. Thanks for your patience! Judy

Converting movies into ipod format

can some one help me my itunes keeps converting movies either audio but white screen or video but no audio..ughh i cant put any of my good movies on my nano just lame ones..help

Hi There-
Thanks for the info. I am actually using the Squared5 mpeg decoder. I followed the directions for the fix, but it still gives my the mpeg-2 error. I have tried the freeware "Quicktime Alternative 181" from the apple website and with that, eitrher my itunes will work fully and the Squared5 will not, or if I un-install itunes, the Squared5 will work fully. It's like when one will, the other won't. I never had this problem before, did Apple change something that makes Squared-5 not compatible ???
I really do not want to sound cheap, times are tough for me and I am trying to do this fix as inexpensive as possible,
If I buy the 19.99 MPEG-2 playback component, I want to be sure that it is going to work, since you can't get refunds from Apple.
Since I am new to this, could you let me know what steps I need to do to do this in the right order????
Thanks for your time, I really do appriciate the time.
Sincerely- Doug

Problem Uploading Converted Movie to Itunes

I have a 30gig Ipod Video,and I downloaded a movie from 360Download,and I then used cucusoft.com to convert it, Now the converted movie is in a folder and I looked on the website of cucucsoft to look for the instructions to then upload the movie into Itunes. But everytime I try to drag the movie file or "add file to library" in Itunes....Nothing happens,I look back into my library and I do not see the movie.
Can anyone help me?

The majority of conversion problems posted here are
tied to videora.
Audio/video sync problems, won't go onto ipod even
though it says it is the correct format, or sound
drops out after a few minutes.
That is bad, buggy software.
People keep pushing the software, suggesting it for
every person posting.
Since it is buggy and so many people have problems
with it and I do not want to keep seeing repeated
questions about why videora messed up-I tell people
to avoid it.
I use to just tell them to google search, try several
different ones and pick what they like.
Now I just push mpeg streamclip to counteract
everyone else pushing videora.
I do this because I care.
I ended up searching thru some of your posts,and I got the url for the actual site,and I have no downloaded square5, BUT NOW....when I try to convert the movie using this format....Its telling me "FILE OPEN ERROR:SUPPORTED FILE TYPE"
Help Me...what am I doing wrong or is it just the movie I am trying to convert?....

Converting MOV files to AVI

I bought Quicktime pro 7 for windows to convert mov files to avi files so I can import them into Sony Vegas. But after converting the mov files...vegas still won't recognize the AVI file that was converted by Quicktime Pro. So after doing research on other forums it seems that there are 2 types of AVI files (divx and xvid). My question is does QT pro only convert the MOV files to one type of AVI and if so...then how do I go about getting a refund.
Thanks

I bought Quicktime pro 7 for windows to convert mov files to avi files so I can import them into Sony Vegas. But after converting the mov files...vegas still won't recognize the AVI file that was converted by Quicktime Pro.
You seem to misunderstand what MOV and AVI files are. Basically, both are just generic file containers. They may contain amy combination of audio and video compressed data that is compatible with the codec configuration of the system on which the file is created. What you should be asking yourself here is what compression formats (what data within the file container) can be edited by the Sony Vegas software. According to to Sony,
"Vegas Pro takes a no transcode, no rewrap approach with Panasonic P2 AVC-Intra and DVCPRO source material. Vegas Pro eliminates the transcode and rewrap process that other applications require, so editors can save valuable production time, minimize storage requirements, and preserve the pristine quality of the original source material. Other natively supported codecs and formats include XAVC, XAVC S, XDCAM™, XDCAM EX, NXCAM, HDCAM-SR™, AVCCAM, RED® R3D, AVCHD, and AVC-based MOV files from popular DSLR cameras. For 3D content creation, Vegas Pro also supports stereoscopic 3D MVC and MPO files from Sony camcorders."
This, of course, brings up the question of what kind of compressed data is contained in your original MOV file since your problem is most likely not the MOV file type but rather the data you have stored in the file based on the fact that, according to Sony, this editor is supposed to be compatible with "AVC-based MOV" files and MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) and MPEG-4 audio (AAC) are virtually a default QT AV compression format whether in MOV, MP4, or M4V file containers. Therefore, when asking questions regarding MOV file content, your should normally include the compression formats of the data contained in the file to better ***** various issues and workflows or provide a sample file for examination by others.
So after doing research on other forums it seems that there are 2 types of AVI files (divx and xvid).
QT can only access the DivX and XviD codecs if they are available to the QT 7 Pro app. I.e., these are proprietary codecs not included in the QT installation package. A better question here might be whether or not the Sony Vegas software can edit these compression formats since they are not listed as being supported natively by Sony. That is, you need to be importing file container/compression format combinations that are listed as being edit compatible with the software you are trying to use for your edits.
My question is does QT pro only convert the MOV files to one type of AVI and if so...then how do I go about getting a refund.
While QT 7 Pro remains compatible with the AVI file container, as varjak paw indicated, there are only a limited number of compression formats that are QT encode compatible and even fewer listed as Sony Vegas. I.e., why don't you try a DVCPRO AVI or an H.264/AAC MOV conversion as suggested above and see if it might be compatible with your editor. However, the best approach is not to transcode data if at all possible. That is why it would be important to know the workflow you are using to source your content. I.e., how is the data being placed in the MOV file container? Was it originally recorded to an MOV file container? Was it imported to a video editor on a Mac and then passed on to you? Was it copied from a different source file to the current MOV file container? Etc., etc., etc... I.e., at this point all we can do is make guesses as to things you can try because you have provided insufficient information regarding your files, workflows, and goals here.
