Converting .mpg and .mov to .avi

I am on OS X 10.4.5 and Quicktime 7.0.4
I am trying to convert .mov and .mpg to .avi files. This is so that I can insert these files into a powerpoint presentation and they will run better. I downloaded iSquint but that only seems to help me convert video files to mpg4.
Any advice on how to save as an avi?

I think .avi is a container, not a format. You can try with flip4mac and create windows media files (if you can't create any other format powerpoint accepts).On the other hand, if you have iWork-I think Keynote can be viewed from powerpoint.

Converting mpg and avi.

hey everybody, Ive been scanning these forums for information on adding video into the 5th gen ipod , Ive learned alot of things but surprisingly theres not much information on converting mpg and avi files without quicktime pro. In my opinion Id rather have many music videos, live performances etc, than making the effort of coding 2 hour long dvd movies. so ive tried FortyTwoDVDVxPlus http://ipsp.kaisakura.com/fortytwovx.php and this program is great for just that, just drag the avi or mpg in and select ipod as the output and thats it. Without the license you can only get 10 minutes of any file, none of my music videos are that long. so it codes a 4 minute music video into .m4v in less than 4 minutes. itunes opens them up and im just waiting to see if my ipod will play them. if it goes smooth I plan on buying the license, hope this helps.

Mpg and mov wont work

my computer is set up to play mpg and mov with quicktime but wont, just says done with errors on the bottom of screen. i tried the troubleshooting and it shows the lil picture and clip but still doesnt work.

I will tell you how to do it but first promise that you will run Disk Repair (single user mode, install disk, or shift key held down at boot) and then repair permissions before trying to reinstall the packages.
Also, download the combo installer for 10.3.9 and run it again.
If none of the above works then you can go to Library/receipts/and the version of itunes and Quicktime that you want to install.
Drag them to the desktop and try reinstalling the updaters for itunes and Quicktime. It should work.

HT3775 converting mpg to mov

how can i convert movies with mpg formats to .mov without affecting my video resolution? my imovie projects look tremendously blurry!!

To convert .mpg to .mov, you should take assistance of video converting tool. I've used Video Converter which allows to customize video resolution. Maybe you can have a try. Anyway it is said that VLC player can play almost any file type. Sounds good. You might as well give a try too.

Convert mpg to mov or wav

I'm new to FCE, so don't scorn me for a very basic question. My camcorder records in mpg and I need to convert to mov or wav. What is the best and preferably free way to do this. I downloaded mpegstreamclip but can't get it to work. I'm sure I'm not doing something very basic. Help, please.

Can I ask where on the streamslip website the download can be found? I am going mad trying to play mpg files on my mac. Files previous downloaded on my PC cannot be played at all and those download from my Sony video camera to my Mac can be seen but not heard. Completely bizarre

Convert mpg to mov

What is a good way to convert .mpg files to readable files for fcpx
I'm new to apple and this community so if anyone could point me towards other discussions that have addressed this topic would be appreciated.

I'd like to point out how SOME mpeg files work STRAIGHT into FCPX. I've ingested / transcoded mpeg files in the past, and FCPX bit into them just fine.
mpeg4 from my GoPro go in without missing a beat.
Of course, it depends on the wrapper, as well. One of the biggest differences I've noticed between 7 and "X" is that the latter can handle many more file types... almost anything you can throw at it. I had to use Streamclip much more often with the legacy FCP.

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:

Convert IFO to .mov or .avi

I have IFO files that only play on WINDVD, I need to convert them using a mac application to .mov or a avi. file to import into final cut.
Somthing easy and free.
Can anyone help?

Hi. IF it's a DVD part-recorded on a DVD recorder and not finalised, and IF the file with the video content is actually a .VRO file - which tends to be large (and NOT an .IFO file which tends to be small), then +MPEG Streamclip+ is your friend.

Convert MPG slideshow/movie to work in QT Pro

Hi, I received a slideshow/movie from a friend who created it on a PC using Windows XP in MPG format. QT will not play it. (I can not open it in iPhoto or iMovie either). I get an error when I try to open it. Is there a way to convert that MPG to a format that QT can read? Thanks!

QT will not play it.QT is playback compatible with "standard" MPEG-1 (MPG) files. However, the MPG extension may also be used for MPEG-2 files which are not natively supported by QT. Try playing the file in a third-party player like VLC. If it opens/plays, then you can check the specific compression format. If the file is MPEG-2, then the QT MPEG-2 component should allow you to watch the video but may not support the audio.
Is there a way to convert that MPG to a format that QT can read?Free applications like iSquint, FFmpegX or MPEG Streamclip will allow you convert normal MPEG-1/MPEG-2 files to QT compatible files. (NOTE: MPEG Streamclip requires the QT MPEG-2 component be installed for convesion of MPEG-2 files to QT compatible files.)

Convert swf to mov or avi etc

Hi
I've designed a vector animation in flash 8 using a 16:9 ratio to be projected on a video screen. What is the best way to convert this swf to a format that can be played on a normal dvd player so it can be projected on a screen and maintain the vector graphics and continuously loop without pauses? any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Stefan

I am having he same problem with Flash CS4 and can't figure it out. I keep getting ghosted images when exporting to Quicktime via Animation or DV/DVCPRO codecs. The only thing that seemed to work was exporting via PAL. Why that worked I have no idea since I'm using region 1 NTSC displays and equipment, but it did.
One other thing you might want to try is exporting it as a PNG sequence and then reassembling it in After Effects. Then you can just instruct the dvd file to loop the single clip. Completely tedious, yes, and problematic if you have a different framerate than 29.97, but might be a workable last resort if no one else out there has any answers.

Avi, mpeg and mov problems

I`m having no luck playing streamed .avi, mpg and .mov ( all video) files.
The avi and mpeg video files freeze up upon start up and only show the first second of the video for the first 5-10 minutes. After that they play fine although with no sound. They also play and sound fine after being downloaded and then opened.
The mov files only show the sliding bar or , after being saved , the blank QT screen with the bar sliding and no sound.
Also , the QT "intro" on apple.com/quicktime (the timberlake video) refuses to play properly, it just comes in very "blocky" with only occasional sound bits getting through. The same can be said about some avi files, when they do work.
I have flip4mac , divix, 3vix, xvid installed. Tried perian but that completely killed all streaming avi playback , just a Q with ? mark. Downloaded AC3 codec and put in the QT folder. no luck.
These are the sites in question.

Couldn`t find any avi movies to use as an example.
Last question. Is there a way to automaticaly stream avi and mpg files in the same QT screen as wmv and asf files?
thank you and sorry about the long post.

Try VLC media player regarding playing .avi files.
===============
I had no problems playing the Timberlake video. However, when I tried to play your second link (.mov) all I got was the bar, no audio or video.
Regarding your 1st link, have you tried repairing permissions & restarting?
Regarding your 2nd link: Apparently, it's a bad video link & no fault of yours or your computer.
====================
"Is there a way to automaticaly stream avi and mpg files in the same QT screen as wmv and asf files?"
The following is a work-around for .avi files. Not sure if it will also work for .mpg files.
Open the file with QuickTime Player.
Open the Movie Info window (Command-i).
Note the name of the video codec used in the file.
Do a Google.com search for codec name +Mac and download one appropriate for your OS and computer.
Quit and relaunch QuickTime after installing the new codec.
Try the file again.
Thanks to QuickTimeKirk for the above info.
================
Regarding no audio sometimes................
If repairing permissions does not work, then try the following:
KB article - No sound from some applications, but system alert sounds play (Mac OS X 10.3, 10.4)
Another trick: If you have GarageBand installed, open it and then quit.

Convert .iMovieMobile to .mov, .avi, etc.

I want to be able to view this on computer without using other export options like FB and You Tube from iMovie IOS. It is saved as a .iMoviemobile file in iTunes. How can this be converted to a .mov or .avi?

I'm not sure what you mean by CPU?
But I'll guess you meant to say a computer?
Is the file a quicktime movie (with a .mov extension)?
What type of computer are you using (Type and CPU)?
Are you able to play other videos shot with your iPod Touch?
You might need the latest version of Quicktime.
iMovie iOS encodes in the same format as the iPhone and iPad records in; Quicktime H.264.
So in theory if you can play a vide from your camera roll, you can play a video from iMovie iOS.

Mpg to Mov Files without sound

I REALLY need to convert mpg files to mov files cause I need to use then with iMovie and FCP. But when I convert mpg to mov, the files are without sound. I'm using Quick Time 7. Are there anyone to indicate a solution or another converter app? I need mov files WITH sound.

I REALLY need to convert mpg files to mov files cause I need to use then with iMovie and FCP.
MOV is a file container. It can contain an valid combination of audio, video, text, 'Tween, Chapter, etc. data. What compression format do you want to edit in natively with iMovie or FCP?
But when I convert mpg to mov, the files are without sound.
The MPG file container normally contains audio and video data multiplexed as interspersed blocks of data in a single stream to provide spatial synchronization of audio and video. QT is based on parallel tracks of audio and video synchronized temporally. Since QT can only demultiplex and convert one track of data, it is programed to convert the video and leaves the audio out of the new file. As was previously indicated, if you wish to retain audio, you will have to use an MPEG based application. MPEG Streamclip is free and considered by most QT users to be both reliable and a standard by which other such apps are judged.
When I use that I got a file just with sound and no image. What I supposed to do?
Once again we return to the primary question of what compression format you want to edit in natively in iMovie or FCP. Most people choose DV/DV or AIC/Uncompressed but other options include Photo JPEG, Motion JPEG, MPEG-4, or H.264 with any edit compatible audio compression format. As an FCP, pro codecs are also available depending on your specific needs or wants. The compression codecs you wish to use will, in the end, determine which MPEG Streamclip conversion option you select and what settings are available.

Audio fails and movie hacks alot

All movies with suffix .mpg and .mov doesn't work anymore in QT 7.1.3.
There's no sound and it hacks alot. .avi works just fine and divx. Anyone else having the same problem? The weirdest thing is that all sounds in Microsoft Entourage is gone. I think this problem appeared right after the last security update. Does it ring any bells with anyone here? I can't be the only one!

I found the answer!
