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

  • I need to know the best, safest way to convert video for Mac.  I just had home movies converted to a DVD format a realize now that I need another step to burn them to my computer.

    I just had home movies converted to a DVD format a realize now that I need another step to burn them to my computer.  This is for a Christmas present!  Help.

    I don't think you need to use a ripper program to read a home movie DVD. Those are primarily for copy-protected commercial DVDs, right?
    I think you just need to transcode the DVD files using a utility like Handbrake, which is free and fast.

    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

    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

  • HT204382 I want to convert an .avi movie to a format where I can cut a DVD. I have OS X lion operating system

    I want to convert an .ave movie to be able to create a dvd. What software do I need?      Thanks

    Thanks Kappy, this helped. I was able to convert the .avi file to mp4 making it possible to view the movie. However, I was unable to burn it.  I downloaded a program called express burn from prism and was able to burn the .avi file to a dvd .vob. format.
    If you are using a 4gb dvd you may have to change the setting to medium quality depending on the movie size. Hope this helps.

    You could try Handbrake, it works quite well.

  • I need an app for my Mac Pro to convert MP4 to MOV  format to play in a DVD player

    I need an app for my Mac Book Pro to convert MP4 to MOV  format to play in a DVD player.  Thanks

    Quicktime can do this.
    Open the MP4 in Quicktime Player. From the menu bar, File >Export > select quality. The subsequent file will be saved as .mov
    Alternatively, you can simply change the extension on the mp4 file to mov since the codec is the same.
    *I should mention that .mov format is not DVD format (TS_VIDEO), and the DVD will not play in a DVD player, even if you successfully burn the file to it.

  • 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.

  • How to convert mpeg to .mov format

    I am trying to upload a 3 minute movie clip to attach to an e-mail document. I converted it to mpeg. However, it is 59 mg and thus, too big to upload. After reading some of the posts on this site, I thinks that I must convert it to .mov in order for it to upload. Am I understanding this correctly?
    Note that I don't want to compress the video so that it is of poor quality. If this is the procedure, how do I convert my mpeg file to .mov?
    Note that I used Streamclip to do the conversion from the dvd.

    Here you go. In this example, we've taken a short video and dumped into a folder we've created on our desktop called "yourvideo." Now, follow these steps to encrypt your video, upload it and get a download link you can email to others.
    1) Open SimplyRar, and drag and drop the yourvideo folder into the application's window. It will appear as shown below:

    2) Tick the password protect box at bottom and enter a password for your file as shown below:
    http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/8799/25ry.jpg
    3) Click on the "create rar" icon on the upper left and a box will open asking you where to save your new file, as shown below. In this example, I named the rar yourvideo and saved it to my desktop:
    http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/3408/33le1.jpg
    4) Once the process is complete, you can close the SimplyRar application:
    http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/7862/48nf2.jpg
    5) Now go to www.rapidshare.de and select "choose file." Navigate to your file and select it, as shown below:
    http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/5081/55pf.jpg
    6) Click on the upload button, and your screen will show you the upload status (this is in Safari):
    http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/6707/63yn.jpg
    7) Once the upload is complete, you'll get this page. Locate the link as shown below. It is the active link you would send to friends in order for them to access your video file. Remember, they will also need the password you chose to .rar the file.

    Hope this helps you. Let me know.

  • Convert flash QT.mov to WMV or MPG

    Please help!
    Does anyone know the simplest way to convert a flash
    animation Quicktime movie to WMV or MPG?
    This is a rush, I'm working under deadline. Originally, I was
    told QT.mov was acceptable format.
    Now, I'm being told that their server can only handle WMV or
    MPG. When they tried to convert the
    QT file it was converted without the audio track. I've tried
    to download serveral of the free shareware converters -- no luck.
    (either corrupted or some glitch occurs or company logo is
    embedded in converted file).
    I know AE (AfterEffects) to some degree and I believe I can
    export to WMV of MPG there. But this is a huge file,
    trying to download it now at a cybercafe with two T1 lines --
    still it's "watching paint dry".
    Please anybody, any suggestions, please.
    Thank you.

    I think the simpliest way converting flash into video - use
    Flash To Video
    Encoder.
    recommendation for
    Adobe Premiere
    is a good one too

  • Converting video to .mov

    Can Quicktime Pro convert video from one format to .mov format? I have a few mpeg files that I would like to put up on our webpage, but our provider only supports Quicktime Streaming. Therefore I'm guessing that the files would have to be in .mov format.
    If this is possible, then while converting, can you change the viewer size. Say from 800x600 to 320x480 or something along those lines?
    Any help would be greatly apreciated! Thanks in advance!

    For the most part if QT Player Pro can display a movie, video or what ever you want to call it, it can convert it to other formats. There are a couple of exceptions. For muxed mpegs (mpeg-1 and mpeg-2, but not mpeg-4) QT cannot export the sound from the file although it will export the video.
    There is a workaround for that limitation. Windows users can use this freeware to convert meg-1 files to uncompressed avi, from which QT will export both sound and video. Open the mpeg-1 in VDub and use Save as Avi in the File menu to save it as uncompressed avi. The only catch there is that uncompressed avi files are very large so you may have to do the conversion in small segments
    VirtualDub
    One other exception is that the creator of a .mov file can cause a flag to be set that prevents QT from editing or exporting the file to other formats. Those are rather rare, however.

    Both the AVI and the MOV file extensions refer to the file container and not the compressed data the file contains. Both are generic file containers in that each may contain any valid combination of audio and/or video data that is compatible with the codec component configuration of the system on which the file was created. On the other hand, whether a file is playback compatible, conversion compatible, and/or edit compatible depends on the data actually contained in the file container. So, you are basically dealing with two separate issues here—the container and what is inside it.
    Basically, if you want to make your files ediit compatible with iMovie, you must change your file container to one that is acceptable to iMovie and convert the data to edit compatible audio and/or video compression formats as may be necessary. The best approach is to determine what codecs were actually used to create the original AVI files and add them to your system if possible. In most cases a codec package like Perian can be added to your system's codec component configuration to may the AVI file playable. Once they are playable, in the QT 7 app then they can be chnged or converted to file types and compression formats that can be edited in iMovie. (While Perian handles most codecs commonly used to create AVI files, it does not handle all possibilities and, while the Perian codec package still works under cureent Mac OS versions, its development group has decided to drop further development/support of the package.)
    Background: AVI is a file container originally developed by Microsoft back in 1992 but for which official support was discontinued about 11 years. Despite its limitations, Windows users still tend to use this file based on its open source ease of use and generic nature, thus, making its use so popular that most users are unwilling to switch to more modern but less generic file types. Since some AVI legacy compression formats have never been transcoded for the Mac or use beyond OS 9 or OS X PPC platforms, it is often important to know what specific compression formats are contained in the AVI file to know which codecs to add to your system and which not to add in order to avoid possible codec conflicts.
    You can use many different converters to convert AVI files to iMovie edit compatible files. Most third-party apps contain their own buit-in codecs which do not relay on the Mac codec component configuration. Free ones, like HandBrake, usually have limited conversion capabilities while those that have more varied outputs are usually commercial in nature and will cost you additional cash. QT 7 Pro or the free MPEG Streamclip app allow you to access you own system's component configuration and use any available codec component like DV, AIC, MPEG-4, H.264, Photo JPEG, etc.—all of which are iMovie compatible for editing purposes—but only after making the AVI file QT 7 player compatible.
    In order to determine what compression formats wewre used in your AVI files you can
    1) Try checking the Finder "Info" window,
    2) Use the "Inspector", "Media Info", or "Properties" window of any player app that will open the file, or
    3) Use a general media utility app like "MediaInfo" to read the file characteristics.
