Exporting files in quicktime pro 7

Hey guys,
I'm quite new to video editing, so i don't really know whats going on if anyone can help out that'd be sweet. I have Quicktime pro 7, and i would like to convert my MPEG into either AVI or MOV but when i export it doesnt export the sound aswell. The file format doesnt seem to have a seperate Video and audio track in the movie properties so when i export it doesnt allow me to tick the sound to be exported aswell in the options. Really dont know what to do. Possibly what is a better peice of software to get to convert video formats. Also what can i use to increase brightness and contrast of a fairly dark video.
Hit me back
Cheers

Quicktime does not export the sound from muxed mpeg files. QT Mpeg Limitations
Try this freeware, that will export both the sound and video from mpeg files:Mpeg StreamClip

I'm attempting to export a quicktime file to an AVI file via quicktime pro. Which settings would yield an uncompressed AVI file? There seem to be just a few options, would I choose cinepak?

Converting AVI files to M4V files in Quicktime Pro

Hello,
I am trying to convert AVI files to M4V files in Quicktime Pro.
I open the file in the player, click Save As, click the setting, and it goes through the process and stalls with 5 seconds left. Anybody experience this?
Thanks, Steve

I open the file in the player, click Save As, click the setting, and it goes through the process and stalls with 5 seconds left.
If you are really using QT 7 Pro under Leopard, then be advised that the "Save As..." does not trascode AVI content (whatever its compression formats) to H.264/AAC in an M4V container but merely places the original content in an MOV file container. In this case, if the file stalls in the last 5 seconds, then the problem is usually associated with a problem of trascoding the audio or a problem writing/closing the MOV file. This could be caused by anything from a lack of audio codec support, a component conflict, or File level Finder problem.
If you are actually using QT X under Snow Leopard, then the "Save As... > Movie" option functions essentially the same as the QT 7 Pro "Save As..." option already described above. Selecting one of the other options that do transcode the content may have the same problem described above or may encounter a "bug" which causes the final file to "disapprear"/never be made visible at the Finder level.
If using QT 7 Pro under either Leopard or Snow Leopard, ensure that the compression formats used in the AVI container are actually supported by your system configuration. If you have recently upgraded your OS from Leopard to Snow Leopard, you may wish to re-install your AVI support component(s) and ensure there are not known or obvious component conflicts. If using QT X under Snow Leopard, you may wish to install QT 7 (if you have a "Pro" key" or try the free MPEG Streamclip as a QT 7 "Pro" alternative.

What export options in Quicktime Pro or Final Cut Pro should I select to export HDV video in .MOV files to highest quality Windows-compatible files?

I have some HDV video files imported through iMovie to .MOV files with Apple Intermediate Codec.
I need to convert these to Windows compatible video files of the highest possible ( least loss) quality. What export options in Final Cut Pro or in Quicktime Pro should I select? The codex in the converted files must not be Apple Intermediate Codec, for which there is no Windows version.

Okay, I read the whole Flip4Mac website.
Flip4Mac is an application for Apple computers.
Perhaps my question was unclear. When I posed it I was thinking of asking somebody with an Apple shop to do the conversion for me, and wanted advice on settings for his QUicktime Pro /Final Cut Pro that would produce the highest quality Windows -compatible files.
The Windows version of Quicktime will not play Quicktime files with Apple Intermediate Codec. You get black screen video, although the audio does come through.
So here's what I need: I need a Windows application that will transcode Quicktime files in Apple Intermediate Codec, with no loss or very little loss, to WIndows-compatible files. All Windows, all the time. Thank you.

Exporting to .mp4 file using QuickTime Pro

Rather than use the Movie to iPod preset in QuickTime pro, I would like to export an .avi file to a .mp4 file using Movie to MPEG-4. I would like the resulting file to be encoded using h.264 video and to be 640 X 480. I want one file that I can include as an enclosure in the rss feed for my podcast that can be downloaded and played in both iTunes and on an iPod. So far, I have been able to create a .mp4 file that plays in iTunes/QuickTime but not on an iPod.
Would someone with experience in this please tell me which settings to use in the MPEG-4 export settings dialogue so that I get a file that can be played on the iPod.
The options are:
File Format (I chose mp4)
dropdown (I chose video)
Video Format (I chose H.264)
Data Rate (I know it's important that this not be too high but don't know what to put.)
Optimize For (download is the only choice for this option)
Image Size (I chose 640X480 VGA)
Preserve Aspect Ratio checkbox (My original video is 720X480. I don't think I should check this. I want to change the pixel aspect ratio to square pixels.)
using dropdown box (Letterbox, crop, fit within size) (only active when Preserve Aspect ratio is checked)
Framerate (I chose 29.97, which is the frame rate on the original .avi file)
Keyframe ( I set this to every 15 frames)

Thanks. I was aware of that information. But still am stuck on using QuickTime Pro to come up with a usable .mp4 file for the iPod. I think I am using the right settings, but it's still not working. That's why I included a lot of detail about the specific options in my question. Hopefully, there's someone out there who has used QuickTime Pro for this.

Exporting Muxed Files in Quicktime Pro 7 w/ MPEG-2 Component

I have .mpg files I need to be able to get into iDVD. They are MPG-2 muxed files. I have quicktime pro and the mpeg-2 component. I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this. Everyway I try either fails halfway through or I get no audio. I've trying to convert them to Mpeg-4. The answer is probably easy but I am new to Mac. any help would be great.
thanks

As you have discovered, QT does not support the export of sound from muxed mpeg files. Fortunately, this freeware will export to several formats. It also allows you to do some editing of mpegs without re-encoding if that is desired: Mpeg StreamClip

How to export/watch .avi files using Quicktime Pro

Hi there.
I've got Quicktime Pro and I'm trying to convert .avi files so I can play them on my iPhone. I open up the .avi file in Quicktime and then slect the Movie to iPhone option.
It will take about 20 mins or so, but when I open the file all I get is a white screen even though the timer is showing that the movie is playing.
I can't even watch .avi files using Quicktime as all I get is a black screen.
Could someone please help?
Thanks

Thanks, but unfortuntately that didnt work. MPEG Streamclip couldn't play any of the .avi files, it still came up with a white screen while playing.
I tried this with a number of .avi files but I had the same problem.

What is the best export setting from QuickTime Pro 7 for standard DVD

I have several AVI movies I took and want to import them into iMovie, so I can create a DVD that will play in any DVD player or computer. (Along with a bunch of pictures.)
Should I convert them with QuickTime Pro 7 (QTP7) to another format, and if so, what is the best export setting.
I have export them using *_QuickTime 10_* and QTP7 to *MOV, MP4, & M4V* and the output is *+bad bad bad+*.
I have tried both export and save-as. Neither has done a good job.
The internal information of the AVI movies are: (as reported by QT)
Format: Apple OpenDML JPEG, 640 x 480, Millions, 8-bit Unsigned Integer, Mono, 11.024 kHz
I have used several settings with not much luck including:
AAC, Stereo (L R), 44.100 kHz, MPEG-4 (Perian), 640 x 480, Millions
MPEG-4 Video, H.264
Should I be using a better application then QuickTime?
Is there a way to just use iDVD with the original AVI movies?
These are wedding movies and pictures that people are waiting for.

Should I convert them with QuickTime Pro 7 (QTP7) to another format, and if so, what is the best export setting.
That depends on your specific work flow and the codec(s) involved. Generally speaking, if the file plays in the QT Player and is "conversion" compatible, then the file can be added directly to iDVD (i.e., unlike iMovie '08/'09/'11 which requires the file to be "edit" compatible with QT).
I have export them using QuickTime 10 and QTP7 to MOV, MP4, & M4V and the output is bad bad bad.
The quality of your output file will depend on a number of things: primarily the quality of your source file, the efficiency of the target codec, and the specific settings used. (About which you did not elaborate.) The rule of thumb here is that your output will never be better than your input and each re-comprssion of the data has the potential to degrade the quality to some degree.
I have tried both export and save-as. Neither has done a good job.
The "Export" option re-compresses the data while the "Save As..." option only places the original data in an MOV file container. So if this output is "bad, bad, bad," then I suspect your source file(s) are not of high quality to begin with. (This seems to be confirmed by the very low audio sampling rate which implies the video data rate was probably also low to conserve file storage space.)
The internal information of the AVI movies are: (as reported by QT)... Format: Apple OpenDML JPEG, 640 x 480, Millions, 8-bit Unsigned Integer, Mono, 11.024 kHz
The basic codecs here appear to be both playback and conversion compatitible with QT (other than the very low sampling rate which some QT apps may not like). Thus, if your work flow is to simply burn DVDs that can be played on commercial players, the AVI could most likely be dropped to iDVD for authoring. On the other hand, if you are editing in a recent version of iMovie, then that app may not like the AVI file container. In this case, the best quality you can likely expect would be to use the "Save As..." option to place the data in an MOV file container and import to iMovie.
Unfortunately, editing in iMovie '08/'09/'11 is done "by reference" which means your output file will be created by exporting the impoted source data to another compression format. The default would be H.264/AAC which is a highly compressed format which in turn would be re-compressed again by iDVD to multiplexed MPEG2/PCM content further reducing quality by using a less efficient video codec. My recommendation for export from iMovie in this case would be AIC/Linear PCM. (I.e., to export your edits to the Apple intermediat video codec using the original file size and frame rate with just a bit of "sharpening" and using 16-bit/48 kHz Linear PCM audio (which is what will be used to create the DVD).
Should I be using a better application then QuickTime?
How much are you willing to spend?
Is there a way to just use iDVD with the original AVI movies?
Yes. Simply create a new SD project, select your theme, drop the compatible AVI content to the appropriate "drop" area(s), add photos as desired, preview the results, and author the DVD if/when satisfied.

Can I save custom export settings in QuickTime Pro?

I'm using QuickTime Pro a lot to export/convert many different projects, but every time I need to change the export settings, because there is no way to save them inside QuickTime
I've found a description on how to do it wil Apple Script: http://lists.apple.com/archives/QuickTime-Users/2002/Nov/msg00295.html
But the problem is that it needs to run also Apple script to actually perform the export, and I don't want it - I'm not a scripter, and I need the settings to be easy to load.
I thoigh there is some prefs folder, where QT actually stores those default presets, where I can put some custom ones, but I didn't find such a folder...
Is there any way to do it?
Thanks

QuickTime can only view WMP (Windows Media Player) files with third party software help:

To use Pro to export these files to QuickTime formats you'll need to pay for the upgrades at Flip4Mac.
Not all WMP files are supported.

Can not encode / export videos in quicktime Pro

I have been unable to ever sucessfuly export a video with quicktime pro on my new laptop I got this past July right from the start.
When ever I start exporting a video into the h.264 or other formats the progress will start off at 8% and about 5 minutes later will on average get as far as 21%. But that is as far as I can get. At that time quicktime terminates. I get a Message from the Visual C++ Library saying that QuickTimePlayer.exe has encountered a buffer overun and its internal state has become currupted and must be terminated. When you click OK quicktime Is closed out, and the file you were attempting to create is left on your disk with a file size of 0 bytes.
This is with the latest version of quicktime.
My system spects are
CPU: AMD Athlon X2 4800+
Memory: 2 GB
OS: Windows XP Professional SP2
Does anyone know what is causing the buffer overrun and how I can fix it or get past this problem. Uninstalling and Reinstalling quicktime does not fix the issue and it has been happening since day one like I said.
I typed out the whole buffer overrun error when It occured about 10 minutes ago here trying to post this thread, however I should of known better then leaving the buffer overrun errors open and quicktime ideling with the termination message. Windows Decided to BSOD on my just as I was getting ready to post this message=\

QuickTime is not supported on the 64-bit version of Windows (look here for the official statement), so if that's what you have (as I presume you do from the processor description), it may well not work correctly. Some people have managed to get it working (at least tolerably), but from what I've read, a recent security update from Microsoft has caused a lot of problems. You might try rolling back recent Windows updates and see if you can get things working, but it may just not work for you.

Trying to export movie from QuickTime Pro to AVI and getting white screen

Hi there,
I am trying to export a movie from QuickTime Pro to an an AVI file. It goes through the process as if everything has worked, but when I open the finished file, all I get is a white screen with no audio or picture.
I need to save lectures from school from the school website to my computer so that I can watch them when I do not have internet access. QuickTime gives me the option to save the video straight from the web, but as soon as I turn off my AirPort it tells me that I need internet to continue watching the movie..
I need some way to get the files to my computer. Any suggestions?

AVI is just a container ... specifically, which codec are you using when exporting? And why export to AVI?
QuickTime gives me the option to save the video straight from the web, but as soon as I turn off my AirPort it tells me that I need internet to continue watching the movie
That usually means that your system doesn't have the codec installed needed to view the video, but your web browser is using a plugin that does. What format are the web videos? Flash?

No audio when exporting to 3gp ~ Quicktime Pro.

Hey guys!
I have looked everywhere for the answer to my problem, but cannot find an answer anywhere!
I have Quicktime Pro and am trying to export video files to 3GP formats to view on a mobile phone. The problem I have is that about 95% of the video files I have will let me convert the video, but not the sound ~ it says "No audio in source movie." I can't understand this as there is definately audio there (I can hear it!), but I cannot change any settings to switch it on! I have tried AVI, MPEG, & other file types, but to no avail... Can someone help!?!
regards,
Richard.

The most likely cause is that you are attempting to export from muxed mpeg files (mpeg-1 or mpeg-2). QT does not support the export of sound from such files:QT Mpeg Limitations
You can determine if this is your problem by opening the video in QT Player and opening the MovieInfo window, where the file type and compressor are identified.
One workaround if they are mpeg-1 is to download this freeware Windows application. It will allow you to convert mpeg-1 to uncompressed avi files (just open the mpeg and use Save as Avi from the File menu). QT will be able to read these files and will then allow you to convert to your choice of formats, like 3gp, with the sound intact:VirtualDub

Not able to open Windows Media Player files with Quicktime Pro

Hi,
I have recently downloaded a couple of videos that I am planning to use in FCP. The file extension of the downloaded videos is .asf and I am able to play them with Windows Media Player. However, to use them in FCP I have to convert them into Quicktime format. I have Quicktime Pro version 7.0.4 and I was told that I should be able to open the files in Quicktime therefore automatically converting them into quicktime files. It's not working and I am completely out of options and ideas.
Please help if you ever had that problem.
Thanks in advance

As I understand it M$ is providing additional distribution as a sort of "seal of approval."
Don't forget WMV/WMA is a proprietary codec from M$ and involves licensing. In that sense they're providing resources. Apparently the Flip4Mac folks are actually building it themselves though.
Think of it as being in the construction business and you're required to buy the lumber from only one source but you still have to build the house yourself.
I've just got done downloading the newer version and
I hope for improvements.
It looks like M$ is giving some resources to the
flip4mac creators. Maybe a M$ "plant" all along?

Exporting Sequences to Quicktime Pro??

Hi,
I'm making a movie that's around 51 hours long so I've created 6 sequences that I need to export to Quicktime Pro, then join them together there. So my question is, how should I export the sequences to get the best quality, through compressor, as M-PEG4? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

As Andy says - select the Export QuickTime Movie..., leave the settings as Current Settings, export. That will give the best chance for Compressor to do its job...

Cannot open file in QuickTime Pro

I recently installed iTunes and QuickTime Pro on my computer. I would like to put some DVD's that I own onto my iPod, but when I put a movie in the DVD drive, I cannot open it through QuickTime Pro. I tried uninstalling both, restarting the computer, re-installing both, restarting, and still I cannot even play a movie through QuickTime Pro.

QuickTime pro doesn't display the MPEG-2 file format (DVD's) without third party software help. Apple sells the MPEG-2 Playback Component for $20 but it does not allow playback of commercial (Hollywood CSS encrypted) DVD's.
