Converting .mov to mpg

I was waondering is there a way to convert .mov to .mpg using quicktime pro.

Not at all. Use Toast. If you want MPEG-2 use the DVD setting and rip the vob's after encoding - you can make a disk image to save a DVD blank. If you want MPEG-1 use the VCD setting, same thing, mount the image and what you are after is a file called AVSEQ01.DAT or similar - rename it to a better name and .mpg extension, it is a MPEG-1 file.
Why do you want to make MPEG clips and which MPEG? 1 or 2? If you want to make MPEG-2 you can use iDVD which you should already have, make the DVD as an image, mount it and extract the VOB files. VOB = MPEG-2 regardless how it got there.
Note Toast 8 just got announced and contains bupkus for most users, e.g. Blu-Ray recording and a few other things, so Toast 7 may beocme a bargain soon, try Roxio's site, it might be on sale now.

Using QT Pro convert MOV to MPG (Probably very basic question)

I purchased QT Pro with the hope of being able to convert a MOV to a MPG file. Is this possible?
Can you please explain if so or if some plug-in or something else must be purchased?
Thank you for your help.

Sorry to keep you in suspense, but can't mention the name of the software except to say that it runs MPEG-2 and needs MPEG-2. Pretty much the main reason I'm trying to run down a software product to convert from WMV, MPEG-4, MOV, and other formats over to MPEG-2.
I appreciate all your help and look forward to any future insights you might be able to provide.
Thanks again for all you smart folks out there who have insight about such things. Going to email Roxio to ge more details about their tools and get their suggestion.

Converting *.mov and *.mpg formats to import in iMovie 08

I am not able to import .mov files created in iPhoto and *.mpg format. Can someone please tell me how to convert it to an importable format.

If you want to edit these clips, your best bet is to download MPEG Streamclip (free) and the Apple Quicktime MPEG2 Playback Component ($20). Open MPEG Streamclip and drag the .mpg files to the big open pane in MPEG Streamclip. Now you can export the clip into a format that can be edited by iMovie for editing. For example, convert to AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec) in the same dimensions as the original.
If you want to go straight to DVD, you need a DVD authoring tool like Toast 10 (iDVD will not accept MPEG as a source). With Toast 10, you can open a DVD project and drag the .mpg file into it directly.
You still might need MPEG Streamclip if the .mpg file is too long to fit on a DVD, in which case you would use MPEG Streamclip to divide the .mpg file into two parts.

How to publish to video format avi , wmv , mov or mpg ?

How to publish to video format avi , wmv , mov or mpg ?

Hello there,
You can publish as MP4 from Captivate and then use any video converters to convert from MP4 to whatever format you need. But, as Lilybiri mentioned, there won't be any interactivity in the videos.
Thanks,

Use QuickTime Player to convert movies to iPod video format......

I don't know if this has been posted but, thought everyone might find it useful.
You can convert quicktime movies to readable ipod video format without having to purchase Quicktime Pro. Thats right, just the Quicktime player.
Now, I know that you can use Handbrake along with other converter programs for free. but just in case you want to use Quicktime Player here is a link that will show you how via applescript or automator.
http://www.cs.brandeis.edu/~ari/scripts/Quicktime2iTunesVideo.html

Here's a step-by-step of ONE of the ways (I have a Mac) you can convert your videos (mpgs) to mpeg4 files to view on your 5th gen iPods so your videos will have sound:
I use Mpeg streamclip found on www.squared5.com.
(This is from memory and I don't have the program opened in front of me so apologies if this is not totally accurate!)
Once you've installed Mpeg streamclip, and opened up a new window, drag the mpg file you want converted onto the new window. You should now see the first clip of your video in the window.
Go to File and choose "Export to MPEG4". This will open up another window. Click the button "iPod" on the upper right corner of the window and that will automatically input the settings for an iPod. Then click the button "Export to MPEG4" at the lower right corner of the window. You have to choose where you want your file saved. I just place them in the Videos folder of my hard drive. Then this will start the conversion of your mpg.
Depending on how large your file is, this may take awhile.
When the conversion is complete, simply take your new file (now with ".mpeg4" as an extension) and DRAG it into your iTunes library. I don't remember if you have to actually drag it onto your iPod as well.
As you drag the mpeg4 file onto your iPod, it should say "updating song" at the top of you iTunes window, then you know it worked.
So now you have a VIDEO on your iPod that plays SOUND!!
Hope this was helpful.

I exported a iphoto slideshow to desktop, converted it to mpg file by using BURN app, burned to DVD and exported to a USB flashdrive. The DVD looks great but flashdrive is extremely fuzzy. What is the difference and how can I make flashdrive sharper?

I exported an iphoto slideshow to desktop, converted it to mpg file by using the BURN app, burned it to a DVD and exported it to a USB flash drive. The DVD looks great and very sharp but the slideshow on the USB flash drive is extremely fuzzy. What is the difference and how can I make the slideshow on the flash drive look as sharp as the DVD?

Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. For iPhoto 9.4.3 and earlier select Size = Medium or Large. For iPhoto 9.5 and later selct 480p.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

Converting mov files to animated gifs

Basic question: how-to convert MOV files to animated GIF files. I have been searching for free/opensource/shareware to do this but so far no program I found could do this.
I'd love someone to answer, definitively, about free/opensource/shareware, but my hopes are down.
So, I ask what MAC program (even if I have to buy it) will let me convert MOV files to animated GIFs or MOV frames to seperate images (is that at all possible?).
Secondly, does anyone have experience with software that does this?
Thanks in advance.

Quicktime Pro 7 can take video (ie mov files) and export them as image sequences.
It can be purchased at the Apple store for $30.

Can't find geometry tab on Compressor 4.1.3 and need to convert mov file to 800x600 res

I just bought Compressor 4.1.3. because I was told it's the only way to convert movies exported from finalcutprox to custom resolution. I need 800x600 and I looked up a tutorial that says the custom res option is in the "geometry tab". However, that was for an earlier version and I cannot find that tab on this latest version. Can somebody please tell me how to convert files to custom res in Compressor 4.1.3.? It's very important, and I paid 50 dollars just to do it. I'd appreciate any advice people have.
Thanks so much!

Perhaps it would be best if you could post a screen shot of your original video. For example, open it in QT Player and hit command i. Take a screen shot of the image and the movie inspector.
All of the functions and their adjustments that used to be grouped in Geometry in previous versions of Compressor are now located in the integrated video pane of the Inspector.

Having problem's converting movies onto my ipod

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.

Aspect ratio problem while converting movies

i think the black screen problem is the aspect ratios because videora ipod converter converts movies ar 1.33:1 and if your movies ar isn't 1.33:1 so u will see a black screen.
we need a program that we can set ar manually.or we can only convert the movies which ar is 1.33:1 with videora ipod converter

I believe that at least a partial solution is to create all of this widescreen, then in DVDSP, you have to make it a menu and not a video track. Then for aspect ratio in SP, select 16:9 Pan Scan & Letterbox. Be aware that it will cut off the sides of the picture in 4:3. Then your following image you'd have to put bars on the sides of the 4:3 video in Final Cut pro. Hope this helps. Anybody else got any ideas, I'd be happy to be proved wrong.

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

Using Media Manager to convert movies to apple pro res

Using Media Manager to convert movies to apple pro res, How can I convert my existing media files from quicktime movies into apple pro res 422 ?
After they are converted will I have to re-point my fcp project to the converted files?
Thank You for taking time to answer these
Carl

Sorry, I am not following.
You said you have converted them to prores LT & are having this issue, or is it with H264 files in your edit?
How did you convert? using media manager, or compressor?
if you still are using the H264 media that would be the issue.
That is not an editing codec. it is a delivery codec.
The thing to have done would have been to convert to prores before you started editing.
or did you do that?

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.
iMac G5 2GHz Mac OS X (10.4.3)
1,536 MB RAM
Not true, you can re-encode in QTP to multiple other formats and use also different containers

Error when converting movies

I have an Ipod Video 30Gb. My Itunes can´t convert movies to the Ipod-format. What am I doing wrong? When a try, Itunes just shuts down. I have Quicktime PRO and when I try to export the movies from there to the Ipod, it just shuts down too!
Please, help me!

okay. let's try swapping out your QuickTime.
let's try this technique first.
head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
7. Restart your computer.
next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?
