Converting .mov to other formats like .mpeg2 etc.,

Hi all
Please let me know what is the best way to convert my iMovie files or the resulting file which is .mov to other video formats still retaining best quality. How do I do that?
The next question is after make a iMovie project, without loosing quality how do I make a DVD? Do I export as high quality mov then import into iDVD and do the job as I imported the iMovie project directly into iDVD to produce DVD quality trying to avoid importing the .mov file fearing of any quality drop as it was 2 step process.
As expected there was no compromise in quality but the dvd did not have the audio track which the iMovie project had.
Help please!

Hi S
Not my way of doing it.
There is no true - Without theme option when using a movie from iMovie
but one can fake some of it.
First I drop my movie icon into the theme window BUT first I change it to
a box-diagram (see under the theme window man - triangle - box-diagram)
now drop the icon into the upper left most box.
This will do the DVD movie self starting.
Now it is the finish. I select an as easy theme as possibly eg. bruched metalic.
Then drop a black photo into it. Now it looks like there is nothing there.
No audio etc.
also note that You can select to let the movie loop - start again after end.
or
You can Export back Your movie to a miniDV tape. Then use this and "OneStep DVD"
It will also produce a True no theme DVD.
Yours Bengt W

Will Quicktime Pro convert movies in other formats for use with IPad Air 2

ITunes 12 will let me import movies with no problem. However I cannot export these movies out to my IPhone 6 or IPad Air 2. Will Quicktime Pro allow me to convert these movies so they can be exported? I don't want to spend the $30 for it if the software will not do it.
Or if anyone else knows of another solution, I'm open to other options. I use to have an Samsung Galaxy 2 tablet and I just switched over to an IPad Air 2. Been using an IPhone for years.
Thanks!

Nearly all "all-in-one" or multifunction devices will work with a Mac, but I recommend purchasing one from a company that visibly supports OS X. Brother, Canon, and Epson are all good choices. At present, no other common printer manufacturers are worth considering.
Wireless all-in-one devices are convenient and cost about the same as USB-only ones. Consider AirPrint compatibility for future needs.
Recently I have grown to favor Brother printers over the others. I recommend AirPrint compatible Brother printers and multifunction devices over those of other manufacturers. They are inexpensive, their OS X integration is well-implemented, their consumables are reasonably priced, and their technical support is free forever. If you need to call them and explain that you have a Mac, you will immediately receive competent assistance.
I have grown to dislike HP printers, for all the above reasons.
Read user reviews from vendor websites - Amazon is a good place to start, since Amazon lets people write almost anything they want... right, wrong, or completely idiotic.
Read the reviews on the respective manufacturers' websites as well, but consider the likelihood of them deleting negative reviews.
Process all those user reviews employing your own common sense, and draw your own conclusions.

In Bridge I cannot find Lightroom as a program to open files. All the other programs like photoshop etc are indicated?

In Bridge I cannot find Lightroom as a program to open files. All the other programs like photoshop etc are indicated?

You would go into Preferences > File Type Associations and from the dropdown menu and choose "Browse" to get to Lightroom.
So yes you can set files that Lightroom supports to open from Bridge into Lightroom.
But I don't think you'd want to.
Lightroom is a standalone product for a Photography workflow. Bridge is a manager for Creative suite products like Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign. Basically web and print design workflows.
Bridge is not a manager for Lr because Lr has it's own catalog system.
Lightroom is not a Creative Suite product.
Bridge does use Adobe Camera Raw to make adjustments, but move those adjusted files into Lr, you have to make a decision whose settings stay.
This video should explain the difference.

Saving movies in other format than .mov....is this possible?

I'm fairly new to the mac scene and I my computer. I was wondering if someone could tell me how to save my movies in other formats aside from the .mov format? Also, does anyone know if a website that I can download the movies to that will turn it into HTML so i can put it on other sites like, Craigslist and my websites?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I believe the plan that was announced when the Movies were introduced was to roll them out to other stores sometime in 2007 which obviously didn't happen. Presumably negotiations with the licence holders for the regions outside of the US are ongoing but no-one here on the forum (who are just users like yourself) would have any knowledge of how that is going.

In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like brush etc). I can't figure out how to disable.

In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like brush etc). Whenever I try to use a tool, a blue box appears around the line and I have to double click it to manipulate it, which opens just that line in a semi burred screen where all the other objects are semi-grey in the background. I can manipulate this line in this screen but nothing else at that time which I could do about 5 minutes ago. For exampe, I no longer can join up 2 lines drawn by the line tool together. For some reason this started randomly (probably due to a accidental shortcut combination) and I just can't put it back to what it used to be. I have inserted a video hopefully showing what I mean. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you - Just what I needed

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

Converting Movie to Ipod format thru Quicktime Pro

I purchase the QuicktimePro Registration key for Windows(XP), to convert movies(mp4) format to Ipod(30gb).
QuicktimePro DOES NOT convert mpeg-4 to Ipod format, m4v or mov? I know Quicktime pro is only a few dollars, but I spent for something that I did not enjoy. A very useless feature.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. thank you.

Hello Sujay, are you a Quicktime Tech support? sorry it was too late when I found out that I posted my issue in the wrong Forum, this is my first time, I apologize.
Sorry too, that I did not explain in full detail. Yes, I followed the xact instruction in the manual, followed one of the QT-Tech Support, he even gave me a supporting/reading materials related to my inquiry, I have 2 co-workers behind my shoulders who tried to help but no luck.
My OS is XP, Quicktime plays all my movies(mp4)format without a problem, but when it comes to exporting, (Movie to iPod 320X240)the exported movie is successful but still in mp4 format, instead of m4v I believe.
Did you have a successful conversion? Can you tell me where my missing piece is, please? Thank you with your full attention.

How to convert movies to iphone format

Convert MP4 To Other Formats?

Anyone know a program to convert mp4 ipod files to other video formats like avi and mpeg?

Well there is something wrong with the player. WMP can play anything thrown at it. If you installed any third party codecs or downloaded codec packs off the internet then its broke. As far as converting the files again, now we are creating another problem. May I recommend you search Microsofts web site to fix your media player or Google for a software and guidance to convert your files yet again.

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.

Convert .mov and other files into imovie

Does anyone know of converter that I can use to import a .mov file into imovie? Called Apple today and apparently even though it is a .mov file there may be something in it that is not supported by Apple. They were not able to help me (advise me on specific converter programs) and I am not sure which one I need or will work. I hate to download things that I wouldn't use. Any suggestions? Also does quicktime Pro 7 convert files? My computer kept asking me to buy it when I was saving the files anyways, maybe there is something to that.

I am having the same problem with iMovie 08. I am trying to import a .mov file that imported just fine into iPhoto '08.
If you are trying to say that files that imported to iMovie '06 won't import to iMovie '08, then this is normal. iMovie '08 has a lower requirement for importation. Files must only be QT "conversion" compatible to be imported. I.e., iMovie '06 automatically converts incompatible files during import if it can. (Some files, like MPEG-1, will import the video but lose audio.) On the other hand, iMovie '08 does not convert files imported at the Finder level since it edits files in their "native" compression format. If the format you try to import is not "edit" compatible, then the file will be ignored.
Any file conversion application that will handle the format you are trying to convert can be used. For instance, I would use an MPEG-based, thrid-party program like iSquint (free) or MPEG Streamclip (free) to convert "muxed" (MPEG-1, MPEG-2, VOB, Flash, etc.) formats. QT "conversion" compatible can be converted by any application having access to the QT structure and for which you may have the proper components installed. This includes QT Pro, iTunes, GarageBand, previous versions of iMovie, or third-party applications like MPEG Streamclip (free), iSquint (free), FFmpegX (donation-ware), Visual Hub (pay-ware), etc.
All I really want to do is shrink the file down so I can email it without causing problems.
Since you did not specify requirements for your E-mail content... If you have QT Pro, you might try the "Share > EMail" option. If not, You can always open your file in garageBand and use the "Share > Export to Disk > EMail" option. This would still probably limit you to 6-7 minute clips for 10 MB ISPs. If you want to send long files or large formats, then it might be better to send reference or QTL files linked to files stored on a server, post them to a web site, or send them peer-to-peer via iChat.

Convert PDF or other format to PDF/A

Hello,
I have some questions about converting to PDF/A using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro
I want to know if it is possible to convert PDF-documents or other 'image-documents' to PDF/A.
Via advanced - Prefligt you can convert separate PDF-documents into PDF/A-documents. I can't find the possibility to convert more documents in one go. For example a whole file/folder.
And is it possible to convert several (more than one, a whole file/folder) 'image-documents' at one go into PDF/A-files. And if this is possible what kind of 'image-document'/format has it to be. For example jpeg or other.
And at last: is there a quick way to convert a single 'image-document' into PDF/A. And if this is possible what kind of 'image-document'/format has it to be. For example jpeg or other.
I hope to receive some helpfull reactions for which I thank you beforehand.
Greetings,
Anke

In Acrobat you can use a batch sequence. As output format you can choose PDF/A.
