Converting .mov to MP4

What is a good third party software that would help convert .mov to MP4 files? I have already downloaded freeware from MacX, but don't want to pay $30 for the full length download if I can't get their sampler to work.

In  H.264 export settings go to the Multiplexer tab and switch from 3GPP to MP4.  Your output file extention should change from .3gp to .mp4

  • How can i convert .mov to .mp4?

    Hello again
    I have made a large promo dvd for an upcoming seminar and the national organization would like to put it on its website.
    I broke it down into chapters so that it is not one long cumbersome piece, and visitors can watch just the parts they need.
    On our local website, I was able to share to media and then use iweb to upload them in an album.
    However, the national webmaster uses a different web program so I need to create the chapters as self-contained movies for her to download first from our downlload site. She says that the .mov files hang up when she's downloading and wants them as mp4.
    How can I convert them?
    Thank you
    Elizabeth

    hello .... sorry it's taken me so long to return here ....
    To separate it into chapters, I brought it into Final Cut pro, and marked the In and Out for one chapter, then exported just that selection.... as an mpeg4 (Quicktime conversion) . As one chapter was finished and exported (Self-contained movie) i moved the In and Out points to the next chapter, and continued along this way.
    If you don't have Final Cut, then you should be able to do the same in iMovie: import the whole movie, then select the portion of the movie that belongs in one chapter, drag it to the timeline, edit as necessary (fades, etc) then export (Share) that chapter. Repeat for each portion of the movie you want to isolate. When you export/share, you can choose the option of size that you want it to be.
    Hope this helps and that I'm not too late for you  !!

  • Using QT7 pro to convert.mov to MP4 to post to Vimeo, but movie comes out out of sync

    Just bought QT 7 Pro so i could convert a .mov I created in iMovie into a MP4 so i could post on Vimeo etc. Resulting video looks perfect but all a the music tracks and the audio portion of the video (which run perfectly as a .mov) are shifted about 5 seconds early.

    Did you check that the easy setup is matching properly with the audio/video settings of your material (once converted)?
    The audio file should be AIFF 16 bits, 48KHz if you chose one of the 48KHz easy setup. Have you tried exporting only the audio with those settings and see when applied to the timeline if rendering is still needed?

    How can I convert a mov to MP4?

    To convert mov to mp4, try iOrgSoft Video Converter which is able to do video conversion among different video file formats. It's not freeware but worth trying.

  • Suggestions for converting movies to flv/flash?

    Can anyone recommend a software to convert .mov and mp4 videos to flash? I have adobe video encoder cs4 which people swear by from articles I read, however I do not see where I can add a player nor add a thumbnail for the first frame.
    I need something that will produce high quality videos and give me the option to select the thumbnail shot and player selection while not being overly expensive.
    Thanks

    It feels like you are mixing several unrelated objectives hoping that there is a single solution.
    1. Video encoders like the one that comes with Flash do just that - encode videos into a format that can be read by Flash player (NetStream class).
    2. In order to edit video you need a video editing software (iMovie, Final Cut, etc.) - these programs have nothing to do with Flash.
    3. Video CANNOT be converted to Flash code.
    4. Thumbnails: you need to write an ActionScript code to display thumbnails.

  • .mov to mp4 conversion problems

    Whenever I try to convert a .mov video file to mp4, the audio comes out normal but the video plays back at half speed so there's no sync. What setting needs to be addressed?

    this probably because you are output the codec as xvid. when you are using the video converter to convert mov to mp4, you can choose the output format that with the codec of H.264, that is, MPEG-4 H.264.

  • I have recently bought a Seagate Goflex satellite mobile wireless hard drive. I have converted some of my AVI movies to mp4 and transferred them to the hard drive, but when I play them through my iPad 2 I can hear the sound but not see the movie. Help???

    I have recently bought a Seagate Goflex satellite mobile wireless hardrive , i have converted some of my AVI movies to MP4 and loaded them onto the hard drive, when I try and play them through my I pad2 I can hear the sound of the movie but not see the film, somebody please help, what am I doing wrong as I have spent a lot of time converting these movies to be able to travel with my iPad and watch them. Thank you

    Unfortunately, the drive is pretty much restricted without hacking it. That is, you can't stream its content via standardized protocols like UPnP, SMB, FTP and the like. This makes you won't be able to access its content from any third-party apps otherwise capable of playing back AVI files from UPnP / SMB / FTP / WebDAV etc. sources.
    While this is certainly not a recommendation (I can in no way be held responsible if anything goes wrong): you may want to consider extending the capabilities of the drive by installing the hack: http://www.hackseagatesatellite.com/wordpress/welcome/
    It'll "open" the drive for third-party, AVI-capable multimedia apps like GoodPlayer, It's Playing etc. to directly play the files over the network.

  • HT3775 I am not able to convert movies, keep getting this message The document "The Walking Dead Trailer - YouTube-2.mp4" could not be opened. The movie's file format isn't recognized. not sure why, anybody know

    I am not able to convert movies, keep getting this message The document “The Walking Dead Trailer - YouTube-2.mp4” could not be opened. The movie's file format isn't recognized. not sure why, anybody know

    Sounds like someone ripped the movie off of YouTube and it got corrupted in the process. Try getting the movie file again, or try using an alternative movie player such as VLC: http://www.videolan.org

  • Converting between .mkv .mov and .mp4

    I have been given some h264 video files in .mkv format and am able to convert these to .mov by resaving them out to .mov from QuickTime Player 7.
    I can change the file extension in Finder to .mp4 and they seem to then more or less behave as .mp4 files.
    Are they actually .mp4, or QT doesn't care and just opens them anyway?
    What is the best method of handling these files for widest usage on multiple devices?
    I have read up as much as I can on the file formats but no-where does it say what OSX is actually doing when I change the extension.
    Am I right in wanting them to be .mp4 files?
    Peter

    I didn't state the audio format(s) because it has rarely been an issue, if it fails it fails at the first hurdle. The container.
    Non-AAC audio will likely fail to load/play if the MKV Extension is changed at the Finder Level. Using MPEG Streamclip to move the compressed data to a "real" MP4 file container will normally strip the audio from the final file. If you wish to retain the audio, use the QT 7 Pro "Movie to MPEG-4" option, use video passthrough, and transcode the audio to AAC.
    Most of the .mkv files have aac audio, but not all. Chapters are irrelevant, never having found any nor thought them useful.
    This is a user preference. I prefer to keep the original chapter markers for apps that use them rather than falling back on the defaulted markers added by some device players.
    I am playing the files on several Macs, 2 PCs, an iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad 2 and possibly future Android devices. There are even 2 TVs which seem to be stuck with only reading avi.
    Macs, iPhones, iPod Touch, and iPad will play H.264/AAC compressed data natively in MOV, MP4, or M4v file containers. PCs and Android playback will depend on the compatibility of the player app used on the device. Macs will play H.264 with any audio supported by your Mac codec component configuration in the MOV file container.
    My main target however is a PS3, which has turned out to be the most flexible media device in the house but does object to some files for indeterminant reasons. I will need to do comprehensive testing to find exactly what it is it doesn't like. Mostly it is good, once you update the system.
    Do not own a PS3 but believe it is supossed to be compatible iTunes and mobile device supported formats. Again, the file container of choice would depend on the content you wish to include in the file. If you want to include AC3 DD5.1 sourround soud audio, I would normally recommend the MV4 or MOV containers.
    The secondary target is iTunes so that I can get the files onto my iPod Touch and iPhone. I'm sort of used to that level of Apple devices (and I presume AppleTV) "Just not working" unless it suits Apple. So I restrict my viewing to mp4 files of my own creation or mkv files so over the top in size that recompression does little to degrade them.
    Again, the M4V file container with H.264/AAC with or without AC3 surround audio, alternative AAC audio, and/or chapters is usually the preferred norm. If you plan to use a "universal" file format, then the display dimensions, frame rate, profile, and level for encodes may depend on the specific devices involved. I.e., that is why I limit my files to 720p30 Main Profile Level 3.1 to High Profile Level 4.0 compression and rarely use even half (more commonly only about a quarter to a third) of the video data rates allowed with these settings.
    XBMC and other Media Server software seem, like VLC to be pretty tolerant, and whilst I haven't yet built myself a Media Server, it is on my longer term To-Do list.
    I use iTunes for in-house media server software to TV and mobile devices with Air Video as my primary server software externally via the internet to mobile devices when away from home. Both access the same Promise Pegasus R6 12 TB RAID storage device. (Have moved most of my content from an old Drobo Pro RAID and am in the process of upgrading the current 16 TB unit to 24 TBs as individual drives fail for the storage of raw video footage.)
    The h264 should pass straight through in a simple QT resave? Same if it has AAC audio?
    If the source MKV file is playback compatible with your system's current codec component configuration, then the QT 7 Pro or MPEG Streamclip "Save As..." option can copy the data in the MKV file directly to a new MOV file container without transcoding/recompressing any of the data. Unfortunately, the QT X player is a bit more iffy. Basically, Apple has combined the "Save, Export, and Save As..." options in to a single menu option. The result is that sometimes the app will recompress the data and at other times it may not—dependent on a numbe of variables.)
    If the MKV file contains H.264 video and AAC audio, then the MPEG Streamclip "Save As..." option allows you to select either MOV or MP4 as the target file container. If the MKV file contains H.264 video but the audio is not AAC but is still export-compatible with the QT 7 Pro app, then you can use the QT 7 Pro "Movie to MPEG-4" Export option to pass the H.264 video unchanged to a new MP4 file container while simultaneously coverting the audio to AAC. Since you still have not stated what non-AAC formats are included in some of your MKV files, I cannot tell at this point if this is a viable workflow for you.
    That covers most cases. I'm still not a 100% clear on tghe real differences between .mov and .mp4 containers and how much it really matters in the scheme of things. .mp4 seems to the go, does .mov cause a problem? If so how and how best to rectify that?
    The containers are different. They have different internal identifiers, features, capabilities, and sometimes limitations. CDs, DVDs, and BDs are all different types of optical media but each has different capacities, ratings, and features that determine how they can be used, what kind of media can be recoded on it, and what kind of a device must be used for playback. MP4 containers are very limited. Thay can only conatain MPEG-4 (MPEG-4/H.264) video and MPEG-4 (AAC) audio. M4V file containers are less limited and may typically contain H.264 video, AAC and/or AC3 audio, and chapter tracks. MOV file containers are generic and can hold up to 99 tracks of audio, video, image, text, 'tween, sprite, etc. data that is compatible with the system on which it was created. As to MOV files causing a problem—yes and no, depending on how you use it. Put "muxed" MPEG-2 data in an MOV file in an MOV file container and it will play normally in the QT 7 player (with the QT MPEG-2 component installed)—i.e., no problem. But try to play the same file in the QT X player and it will tell you that you are missing a codec component—a definite problem since you tried to play playable content in a container the media player did not expect to contain that particular form of compression. As to fixing aproblem. I would be better able to answer that if I knoew what specific problem you were referring to here.
    This is why I keep harping about knowing which player is to be used, what audio and video compression format is being used and what container is to be used. And we have not even gotten around to checking the H.264 settings. QT based players are standards conscious. Each Profile and level combination tells the player the max macroblock decoding rate, number of macroblocks allowed per frame, the maximum video data rate allowed, the highest useable resolution @ the highest frame rate, what features are supported by profile, etc. Unfortunately, some third-party venders sometimes hybridize these settings which can make the files unplayable in QT apps but they may still play on other players which do not check on or trap on the use of non-standard settings.
    BTW I did a quick hunt around on h265 and can't see what Apple is doing. Giving it a miss like it did with Bluray?
    Apple is not known for embracing such technology quickly—especially since they are still drafting and reviewing drafted standards. (I believe DivX released a draft version on the 15th of this month.) The current evolution of QT X will probably take another 5-7 years and Apple will have to design hardware capable of handling 4K and 8K  if anyone is actually going to put it to use on future Mac systems. The development of mobile devices have, for the most part, only been supporting 1080p resolutions for a relatively short period and jumping to 8K would represent something of a quantum leap at the consumer level.

    had some old movies from reel to reel on a vcr. i converted these to mp4 format using pinnacle video capture, quality was not great but it was decent enough on my computer. when i placed these on my ipad it was much worse and very choppy.  i have handbrake and thought i could maybe change the movie so i could play it on ipad but dont know what dimensions or framerate etc. currently the movie on the computer is in 640 x 480 mpeg 4  aac.  thanks derek

    Jon,
    What Julianne said at first about re-linking made perfect sense and I followed it easily, had actually already been there.  But in my situation now, it didn't have any effect.  The directory of folders which had already been added were still just as they were, and the outstanding balance are not in the desired position.  And the folders which had been brought in earlier today when I clicked "synchronize folder", were still missing all the metadata.
    Maybe this means I need to start over, and I'm fine about doing that that, but I don't know what it takes to accomplish that.  I'm concerned now that any changes I make out of guesswork could only make the problem harder to resolve.  It just feels to me like something I did at the beginning just wasn't right, and now it's a tangle.
    Can you advise?
    Thanks,
    Gary

  • Converting .fla to .mov to .mp4 for imbedding in Powerpoint

    Hello,
    I've been running into issues with the compression of my flash animations when imbedding them into powerpoint. The .mov files provide sharp playback, but after they are converted to mp4, the resolution drops. I need mp4 files so that the movies are compatible with both Mac and PC versions of powerpoint. I have changed the settings to increase the frames per second, and have the highest qualities selected when converting from .mov to .mp4 without luck.
    Does anyone have any advice for this issue? Is there a better way to convert .fla to .mp4 for PC Powerpoint compatibility?
    Thanks!

    I happily landed on this question-item in my quest for for ways to  generate MP4 from a FLA files...but now that I am here....:
    I agree. I think this is a relevant question.
    Kind regards,
    Stephan

  • 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.

  • I have produced a number of DVD on my iMac. They are stored in a folder called Burn Folder. I want to get them into iTunes so I can play them on Apple TV. I have tried to convert them to MP4s using Handbrake but Handbrake does not recognize these files.

    If you have the original movie files, you'd be much better converting those, otherwise try MPEGstreamclip.

  • Urgent.  Issue with converted .mov files to avi not working in Premiere.

    I am trying to import video files that I have converted from .mov to .avi through OjoSoft Total Video Converter and anytime I try to put a file into the work area, the video goes to Video 1, and Audio goes to Audio 4.  When I try to play it I get no audio, and the video jumps from frame 1 to frame 2.
    Does anyone know a good converter or know the best way to convert and what filetypes to do so?  They work converting them as MP4 video files, but I like avi's better.
    I have tried converting the .mov to mpeg4 and H.264 (Both with audio as MP3).  They will play in Windows Media Player after convert but not in premiere...
    I am running Premiere CS4 on Windows7 with no direct codec packs installed.  I opened a video/audio file that I worked on before with no issues...video/audio run flawlessly in Premiere.
    Please help!

    What are the codecs in the original MOV files and what are the codecs after conversion? Use GSpot to identify them.
