Converting from QuickTime movie to AVI

I see a lot of questions about converting from .avi to Quicktime but how do I accomplish a conversion from a Quicktime .mov format to an .avi format?
The reason I ask is because I emailed someone a QuickTime movie and he could not view it and asked for me to send an .avi. I 'think' he's on a PC. Any suggestions? Thanks.

You can use this freeware to make the conversion:
Mpeg StreamClip
or you can buy the QT Pro license and use it. With Pro you open the mov file and use Export in the file menu to make the conversion. More details on using Pro are in the QT 7 guide available here:

Does anyone know a good converter from quicktime movies to dvd format?

Does anyone know a good converter from quicktime movies to dvd format?

I'm guessing that your using One Step DVD . This will only work with one movie at a time.
Create a new project and all you should have to do is drag your movies from your movie folder onto your iDVD project. You can add as many movies as you like but obviously you can't exceed the maximum total DVD size.
Encoding can take a long time depending on the original file format, but you should be able to use pretty much any file format you can play with Quicktime.

I prefer using Mac Video Converter software to do video conversion. I convert Quicktime MOV to AVI so that I can play the video on PS3.

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?

Chapter markers lost from quicktime MOV in compressor

I searched on this topic and can't seem to find it specifically. Soo....
When we export from FCP through compressor to an m2v, chapter markers come through fine and appear in DVD SP just fine. However, an editor of mine exported to a quicktime MOV with the chapter markers. The file, when opened in quicktime, show the chapters there.
However. If I run the MOV through compressor using the same set ups, the chapter markers are striped from the resulting file.
I am wondering if there is something I am missing when I have to do this from an MOV with chapters.
OR
If there is some way to export or extract the chapter marker information in a way that DVD SP can import. The text track that is in Quicktime has a good deal of other information that DVD SP won't accept as a chapter marker file. Argh.
Can FCP export JUST the chapter marker text. I am obviously going to just go in and add the chapter markers to the track in DVD SP myself. But, as everyone knows doing this after compressing to M2V I will no longer be able to have those markers on the exact frame I want due to GOP.
So, I am asking this for the next time I have an MOV with chapters that I want to convert to mpeg2 and retain the markers for DVDSP.
Just so you know... yes. These markers where properly tagged as chapter markers. (obviously because quicktime shows them as such.)
Thanks guys. I know someone else has had to deal with this somewhere.

I must be losing it. I meant to post in this thread.
My chapters are clean. Pretty good at avoiding anything problematic. I even keep spaces out of my folder names because when I learned to use computers they weren't allowed. (only 128 characters too, if I remember correctly)
I have the previous versions of Final Cut Studio. The recent decline of DVD and the economy has eaten my departments budget to upgrade the OS to Leopard and to Studio 2 so FCP 5.1.4, etc.
Maybe this has been fixed in the upgrade?
My editor has upgraded. So, this would be entirely a moot issue if Apple saw fit to make their projects backwards compatible. (Don't get me started on that) I guess I will have to stay on top of my contract editors and sending me an XML so I can work in their projects. Or giving me the M2V's I ask for already rendered.
Until we can upgrade around here.
thanks for the help tho.

Converting my Quicktime.mov to SLV

I am working on a Mac and do have Quicktime Pro installed,
but when I export my .mov there is no SLV that I can convert to so
I can use the Flash player. How can I convert my .mov to SLV using
QuickTime Pro without any authoring Flash 8 or CS3.
Jerry

Darren --
As I mentioned earlier, I do not have Flash or CS3, just
QuickTime Pro. From a Quote from Bentley yesterday I thought I
could move from QuickTime Pro to a FLV.
"So the point Darren was trying to make is that without the
Flash authoring tool (or Dreamweaver or some similar tool) you'lll
need to use QuickTime to make FLV out of your MOV's.. then you'll
need some Flash Player SWF that you can plug them into to play.
There are quite a number of other developers who've made such SWF's
available for download."
From this I understood that I could use QuickTime Pro and
convert my .mov to a FLV, but I still don't know how to do this
without the authoring programs of Flash or CS3.
"Adobe CS3 Photoshop, After Effects and Premier will also
allow you to convert to FLV format." I don't have any of these. I
just have Photoshop Elements, and InDesign. I have an old copy of
DreamWeaver MX which I have never used. I could install this if it
could do the conversion job and if I could find out how to use the
program to make the conversion.

I needto convert the Quicktime movies to MP4

I don't understand the differences but my blue ray player won't play the Quicktime movies but it will play mp4 I need to know how to convert them. Thanks

I don't understand the differences but my blue ray player won't play the Quicktime movies but it will play mp4 I need to know how to convert them.
A QuickTime file is an MOV file container with any form of compatible data in it. This data can be anything from text or still images to Windows Media Video or MP3 music. On the other hand, MP4 is a file container specifically associated with MPEG-4 or H.264 compressed video and/or AAC compressed audio. If the source MOV file already contains MPEG-4/H.264/AAC data, then simply changing the file extension from MOV to MP4 may solve your problem and, if not, then you may simply need to copy the MPEG-4/H.264/AAC data from the MOV file container to an MP4 file container. In cases, where the source file does not already contain MPEG-4, H.264, and/or AAC compressed data, you would have to transcode/convert the original data to MPEG-4, H.264, and/or AAC compressed data and wrap it in the target MP4 file container. The QT 7 Pro player, MPEG Streamclip, VLC, HandBreak, and similar free or commercial utilities are commonly used to create MP4 files under Mac OS X v10.6 (Snow Leopard). Normally it is best to avoid transcoding data if possible since transcoding may degrade quality.

Color Shift from Quicktime Movie

Ok, Here is my problem. When I do a copy and paste into director from a Quicktime movie for the first and last frame of my movie the is a noticible color shift when the movie starts to play on my command and when the movie transitions from the last frame of the QT to the still i have placed at the end of the movie.
Any ideas?

My director skills are fairly basic. Any chance you can direct me to an online tutorial that would walk me through this process?
Open your Director file. Locate a QuickTime member in your cast library. Open the Property Inspector and navigate it to the QuickTime tab where you should uncheck DTS. Drag this member onto the stage to create a sprite in channel 1 in an otherwise empty section of your score. Open your Message Window and execute the following lines of code, one at a time, by pressing the RETURN key at the end of each line:
sprite(1).movieTime = 0
updateStage
new(#bitmap).image = (the stage).image.duplicate.crop(sprite(1).rect)
sprite(1).movieTime = sprite(1).member.duration
updateStage
new(#bitmap).image = (the stage).image.duplicate.crop(sprite(1).rect)

What to use and how to convert a quicktime movie for a website. . .

I have a handful of Quicktime movies on my computer that I have edited and then coverted to MPeg4, AVI and mov. Now what I need to do is to get the to flash to put on my webpage. How exactly would I go about this?

You would start by purchasing software that can create Flash Video (.flv).

Text distortion when converting from QuickTime to Flash

I am converting a QuickTime video to Flash format. Both have
the same pixel dimentions - 200 x 150 - so I don't need to resize.
I am using the default "flash 8 - high quality" settings.
However, there is some large text on the opening screen of
the video that looks fine before conversion, but is distorted after
conversion. Any ideas how to fix?
Edited to add that I am using the Flash 8 Video
Encoder.

+*Resize Filter: Nearest Pixel*+
+*Deinterlace Filter: Fast (Line Averaging)*+
Try changing these settings to better. The best setting will definitely look better than the fast settings. If your very picky about how your video looks and have the time to kill try best.
Since your using multi-pass for the h.264 frame control, frame control will be read/used for each pass, adding (a lot) to the time of the encoding. One work around is to use Pro res to encode the video using frame control and then link (target) that encoding to the h.264 setting with frame control off.
Here's an excellent tutorial on using the link (target) function in Compressor:
http://pixelcorps.cachefly.net/macbreak-154-540p-h264.mov
One thing you need to set for the h.264 encoding that isn't mention in the above tutorial. In the Inspector/Geometry window for the h.264 encoding you need to set the video dimensions. You'll notice it is set to Automatic with no video dimensions. For some reason you'll get an error if the video dimensions aren't set.

Audio plays too fast in Flash 8 FLV encoded from Quicktime MOV

I'm rendering out from VT4 (Newtek Video Toaster) to a
Quicktime MOV file that is re-encoded in the Flash 8 media encoder.
In the past I've used the 32 bit floating point audio format coming
out of VT4, which worked when playing just a MOV file. But now,
when re-encoding the MOV file in Flash 8, the audio runs fast, or
is maybe truncated somehow so it sounds that way.
I have several choices for a MOV audio format, is there one
that Flash 8 media encoder is 'wanting' to see?
Thanks,
TW

Help with making DVD from quicktime movie

I just made a dvd using IDVD of my FCE sequence. I selected make dvd from movie. The FCE sequence was comprised of two parts. The first part of the time line was a sequence I imported as a quicktime movie and the remaining time line was the edited sequence which was the later part of the completed fce project. When I made an IDVD copy of the sequence (after exporting the full sequence to yet another quicktime movie), the only part of the sequence that recorded on the dvd was the first part --the quicktime movie I imported into the full sequence. As I watched the video asset encoding process I saw the 2nd half of the sequence encoding onto the burn but when I play the DVD it only plays the first part of the sequence over and over again and is missing the second part.
Any ideas why this happened?
Karen

thanks, Ronda, for your warm welcome!!!
nope, not yet, no door, no key, no membership card yet…
I think, I should give the folks at Cupertino a few hours… it's way too early…
oh, why do we Europeans don't use PST, or even EST…
nice smiley, Ronda, does anyone remember my old avatar…?
sorry, Karen, for jacking your thread!!!
… but, today, this is … excitin' for me... ;-))

Convert existing QuickTime movies to iPod format

Is there a way to convert an existing QuickTime movie (480 x 360) into an iPod compatible format (320 X 240)? Can I use QuickTime Pro to do this?
Thanks

Is there a way to convert an existing QuickTime movie (480 x 360) into an iPod compatible format (320 X 240)? Can I use QuickTime Pro to do this?
Yes and yes. However, be advised that there are potential problems in different work flows.
If this is a 4:3 aspect ratio 480 x 360 H.264/AAC source file, then simply use the QT Pro "Show Movie Properties" option to set the video display to 320 x 240 (or set width to 320 while "Preserve Aspect Ratio" option is set) and then export the file using the "Movie to iPod" option. This will create an H.264/AAC stereo 320 x 240 file with an average combined data rate in the 800-850 kbps range. On the other hand, if the source file is an MPEG-4/AAC with an aspect ratio other than 4:3, then you must manually set the width to 320 and the height to the correct aspect ratio with the "Preserve Aspect Ratio" option turned off. (Seems that the new LC profile does not take the 480 iPod MPEG-4 "special case" display capability into account during conversions.)
If the LC profile is not required, simply use the QT Pro "Movie to MPEG-4" export option and set the target display as required for rendering at the correct aspect ratio for the iPod in the baseline profile. This work flow is preferred where limited data rates, mono audio, or other custom settings are desired.

How to export still frame from Quicktime movie?

Hello folks
I often need to use a still frame from a quicktime movie as an image file to work with in PhotoShop for windows.
If I export a frame via the export command and choose "Movie to picture" I end up with a .pct file, that Photoshop will not open.
I can open the .pct file with the Quicktime PictureViewer and then export it from that app as i.e. a JPEG-file, but I would like to avoid that extra step and just export a usable file straight from QT.
Anybody know how that can be done?
Best regards
Kris

Same problem here - no matter whether I choose Photo - JPEG or PNG format as the "compressor", QT 7 Pro wants to save with a .pct extension, and changing it to .jpg or .png extension fails to open.
The two workarounds I've found are:
1. Save it in Photo - JPEG or PNG format with a .pct extension, open with Photoshop CS4 or below, save to desired format.
One may be able to accomplish the same using Preview instead of Photoshop, but on my Snow Leopard machine I get the error "The PICT file format is not supported in 64-bit mode. Try selecting "Open in 32 Bit Mode" in the Finder's info window for Preview." and I don't feel like bothering to do this.
2. Use Grab to take a screenshot, copy into Preview, crop as necessary and save to desired format.
Which is easier depends on whether you feel like having to do precision cropping or not. Totally agree with above commenters - whither PICT, Apple?

Missing Audio from Quicktime Movie Export

I've exported a Quicktime movie from FCP 6.0.4. It's an infomercial show so the call-to-action is a nested sequence on the main sequence timeline. When playing the Quicktime movie, the audio drops off in several 2 second bursts right in the middle of the show during the call-to-action. When played directly from the timeline, the audio is there fine. Early in the show, the same call-to-action nested sequence does NOT drop the audio.
I dragged the audio clip to a new track (one track above) and then re-rendered and re-output to a Quicktime movie. The same audio drop occurred in the same place again. I then marked an In/Out just for that small segment in the timeline and re-output again to Quicktime and the audio is fine.
My final Quicktime movie size is 150 GB (gigs) because it is full HD, uncompressed, 8-bit 4:2:2, and 28:30 long.
I've had a HORRIFIC experience the past 3 months just getting files to render properly and stay connected. It baffles me why Apple is working on SO many bells and whistles for FCP without having mastered their basic file management. It makes me want to check into AVID to see if they can at least give us the basics competently.
Thanks for any advice on this - I'm going to try to render out now in smaller segments and then patch together. Sad...

Make sure you do an audio mixdown. The manual explains the process.
