Converting quicktime to avi

I'm baffled. is there anyone out there who could suggest a relatively easy method? thanks!

To convert in QT you need to have QT Pro. After you have it registered you can use Export in the File menu and then choose Movie to Avi in the Export drop down menu. One problem, however, is that the only avi compression format in the default installation of Quicktime is Cinepak.
You may want to try downloading the codec from the Divx site.

Convert quicktime to avi or mpeg 2

I have made a short movie with FCE. The client wants it on disc in either AVI or MPEG 1 or 2. Have tried exporting to quicktime and then saving as AVI, but it saves as .mov What am I doing wrong?
Any help much appreciated

Hi again, I have now managed to change it from .mov to .avi by simply going to the hard drive, selecting it and changing the extension.
I have one other problem though, my file is 15 seconds long - 28.3 MB and so quality is not brilliant. The client will allow the file to get up to 600MB. How can I increase the size, and therefore quality of my video?
Do I have to go back to FCE?
Thanks in advance

Have problem to convert MOV to AVI in QuickTime Pro 6.1

Have problem to convert MOV to AVI in QuickTime Pro 6.1 - I tried export (convert) MOV(18MB) to AVI format, and got just 253KB AVI file in output. I even can no play it. What is wrong? What Export options(quality) should be selected? I used default (medium), should I use 'high' or 'best'?

I am assuming you already are able to open the movie
in QT Player. Use Export in the File menu, choose
Movie to Avi in the drop-down Export Menu and then
click on Options to choose one of the pre-loaded avi
codecs for the compression. You may also want to
search for and install one of the newer codecs, such
as 3ivx or divx since the preinstalled codecs are all
rather old.

Thanks for the help. It worked, but the quality of the video is poor. Is there anything I can do about this?

Converting quicktime to Windows media player

Hi
Does anyone know if there is a way to convert quicktime to windows media player. I need to run both files on a web site. I am on a macintosh so let me know if there is a way

I am puzzled how you could have exported anything if you don't already have QT Pro, unless you used some third-party encoding program. As far as Cinepak goes, you must keep in mind that it is an almost ancient codec and lacks the superior quality of many newer codecs at low datarates. However, assuming your source file is high quality, you can try a 320x240 Cinepak avi using 30 FPS, a Keyframe interval of 60 and a datarate of 180Kbytes a sec. Those are the settings enabled for the 2X CD encoding preset in QT6. That will take the file size up to about 10 megs per minute, if that is acceptable to you. While it will not be equal to H264 or Mpeg-4 it would not look terrible.
To answer the question about Pro doing better, it is not really an issue. If you have an encoder program that can set the parameters I mention above, it will look just as good as the file that QT Pro would export using the same settings.

QUICKTIME TO AVI

When converting a Quicktime file (2.3GB) to avi and burning it to a disk it seem to be ok no issues or error when burning. But when I try to play int in a PC it will not play and gives me an error saying
Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file.
Any Ideas?
Thanks Rolly

Here is what I am doing.
I load a movie file from a video camera to Imovie.
I get the Quicktime file from this project and convert it to .avi using Quicktime Pro. I burn that file to a disk using Toast8 as a data file for pc only.
This process worked for a file that was about 1GB in size but will not work on a larger file.
So I wonder if the file size is the issue.
Also Quicktime Pro is using Cinepac as the compression program
Hope this sheads some light on the subject.

Is there a program that converts Quicktime video files into Media Player?

Is there a program that converts Quicktime video files into Media Player video files?
Windows XP

Windows Media Player on a PC plays avi and mpg in addition to the WMV and ASF files so you can either use a Windows program that generates those files from .mov format or you can use QT Pro to convert the .mov to uncompressed avi and then use Windows Media Encoder to make WMV files. Although it may be out there no one here has mentioned a PC program that converts directly from .mov format to WMV. There is a program for Mac OS that does it and I believe that company is working on a version for Intel Macs so it wouldn't be much of a stretch for them to port it to Windows.

Convert .OGM to .AVI

Does anyone know how to convert a movie in the .ogm format to a .avi format? I can't seem to find anything.

Most of the links I got with that search were how to watch .ogm on a Mac which I've already got. It doesn't seem like there's a program out there to actually convert them to .avi's though. The best thing I could find is this post from another forums:
"this is a multistep process, but it gives me great results with OGM files encoded with Xvid video + ogg audio.
-I use ogmtools to demux.(this gives me an avi and an ogg file)
-itunes to convert the ogg files to comparable mp3 files.(I have the Xiph quicktime codec installed)
-ffmpegX to mux the mp3 and the avi(from the demux)
this gives me an avi file which plays great in quicktime.
to burn to DVD, i use VisualHub."
I suppose I needa figure out how to work all those programs now, ogmtools looks the worst, looks like you have to use Terminal.

Trying to convert OpenDML JPEG AVI QT file

I have 2 very OLD files from a client which I am trying to convert into some format I can use in todays world.
I can open the files in QT, but only get a blank screen, audio plays OK.
I tried MPEG Streamclip and I can only get a very squashed image output, but at least I see an image.
I tried Apple Compressor, will not open files. Final cut Pro has the same result as QT
They come up as 640x480, but I think they are being stretched - see notes below.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

HD MOVs converted to HD AVIs via mpeg streamclips not pc compatible?

This is driving me crazy. You'd think it was the most basic thing but I can't get any info on why the HD AVIs created via Mpeg Streamclip will not play on my clients PC. He has the appropriate codex but the things won't play at all. The same HD MOVs i'm trying to convert to HD AVI play fine on his PC when I convert using Quicktime Pro but I can only get SD resolution on my created AVIs using quicktime. If anyone can tell me what is the best way to convert a HD MOV to a pc compatible HD AVI format that would be a wonderful thing. Please help
thanks

What codec are these MOVs in originally? If it is DVCPRO HD then as far as I know the only computers that have that codec on it are ones with FCP installed on them. Does your final file have to be an AVI or can it be something else?

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.

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.

Can only save 32768 colors in quicktime and avi

Hi,
I am using a variation of the JpegImagesToMovie program to store int[] arrays of pixels to quicktime and avi movies. I created a test movie with frames of size 256x256 such that each from contains a gradient of black to white from the top downwards. Since there are 256 shades of grey, I expected a perfectly smooth gradient; however, it only created 32 shades of grey (meaning, it is only using 5-bits of each color channel, hence only 32768 colors total). I set the format as:
      format = new RGBFormat(
          new Dimension(width, height),
          this.length = width*height,
          int[].class,
          frameRate,
          32,
          0x00ff0000,
          0x0000ff00,
          0x000000ff,
          1,
          width,
          Format.FALSE,
          RGBFormat.BIG_ENDIAN);and I am created the colors as:
data[index] = (red << 16) | (green << 8) | blue; where red, green and blue are ints equal to the y-coordinate of the pixel I am setting.
I also tried specifying 24-bit color as opposed to 32-bit. Has any one else seen this effect? Any suggestions? Thanks,
- Mike

Hi again,
Turns out all I needed was to set the compression format as so:
TrackControl tcs[] = processor.getTrackControls();
    for(int i = 0; i < tcs.length; i++) {
      TrackControl c = tcs;
Format f = c.getFormat();
if (f instanceof VideoFormat) {
Format[] fmt = c.getSupportedFormats();
if ((fmt != null) && (fmt.length > 0)) {
for(int j = 0; j < fmt.length; j++) {
if ("MPG4".equals(fmt[j].getEncoding())) {
c.setFormat(fmt[j]);
Thanks anyway,

How can i make quicktime play avi. files?

pls..how can i make quicktime play avi. files? because i have some avi files on my ipod or data cd but i can't play them on my laptop. pls help me..
and also, im trying to make a music video but i dont how to select different clips from a movie.

Hello,
You can get from Microsoft, the flip4mac free player. Since Windows Media Player for Mac is no longer supported, this is the way to go.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx
In my opinion, it is by far the best solution for playing .avi or .wmv files, because you get all the advantages of Quicktime.

Exporting HD Sizes for Quicktime and AVI?

Okay, LOVE the new CS4, but have a problem.
For tech notes in case it means anything, I'm shooting with a JVC HD-110, editing M2T files. Everything in THAT respect works perfectly - NOW I even have an FS5 drive so it goes even better - dropping all capture time and processes. The Projects are all set up as HDV, 720p at 24p - basically, everything about the Project is set to HD.
When I choose Quicktime or AVI as the Export format, the only Preset options that come up are DV related. Meaning, SD... And when I have to manually type 1280x720 as the export size (upping the default from 720x480) it even reads "1,280" - not a straight "1280", get it?
The resulting render looks horrible - completely unusable - unless my goal is to simulate the old Fisher Pricer Pixel Camcorder ;-)
How do I Export from Premiere's Timeline to an HD format? Or can I download a set or HD Presets to put in the Export Settings (or something) folder for each codec?
Thank you for your time, and any thoughts-
-Lew

Oh yeah - there's a whole huge list for WMV! MAN you have options there!
No, none of those options are (or seem) available for Quicktime and AVI.
I bounce files back and forth for clients (and myself) for FX work and edits (they prefer the Quicktime Animation codec at 100% - gotta admit, it's beautiful!), and would like to do final output to HD in the end for a project I'm working on right now.

Converting .mov to .avi

Hi folks,
I'm looking for an option to output a batch of .mov files to .avi files for playback on a windows based media server.
I don't have any third party Quicktime Components installed.
When I try to set up my entry in compressor to save as a preset. There is no .avi under options.
The only way I can export .avi's on my machine is to open up each one in QT Player and export the movie using the "Quicktime to AVI" pulldown.
Any hints to be able to use Compressor to batch my .mov files to .avi files?

Create your own presset in Compressor.
Take a look at your settings. Change the codec to Cinepak and the extension to avi.
That's what Apple uses in the QT export.
Do test encode and determine first if the files can be viewed
