Exporting .mov to .avi file: computer crashes

I'm trying to export a .mov file to .avi. I get about 80% through this and my computer crashes. I'm guessing it's because my memory can't handle it (have got 512MB SDRAM only), but I might be wrong about this. The .mov file originally came in a zipped file, so perhaps in the unzipping I've overlooked something. Does anyone have any ideas?
With thanks
mb

"zipped file"?
Some type of "torrent" download of copyrighted material?

How can i export a 24bit avi file from photoshop for mac?

how can i export a 24bit avi file from photoshop for mac? i have a client that specificly needs the files to be avi and in 24bit what are the settings that i need to use to export the video using photoshop on a mac?

Hello,
To make a 24-bit AVI file in Photoshop, go to File>Export>Render Video. Then, under File Options, choose AVI from the Quicktime Export drop-down menu. Click the Settings button. Click the Settings button in the AVI Settings window. Change Compression to None, and then choose "Millions of Colors" from the Depth drop-down under Compression.
The Millions of Colors option is for 24-bit video (8-bit R+G+B channels, 8x3=24). Millions of Colors+ is for 32-bit video (24-bit video plus an 8-bit alpha channel).

How do I export wmv and avi files from media encoder on a mac in CC2014

How do I export wmv and avi files from media encoder on a mac in CC2014?

Nonsense.
Apple Compressor has been doing wmf exports for a decade. I have the Quicktime export components from Telestream and they appear as presets in Compressor. They should be available in Media Encoder or they should be importable. Adove apparently refuses to see them. Still trying to figure that out.

How do I get my home movies and avi files to play on my ipad 3?

How do I get my home movies and avi files to play on my ipad 3?

1) Download a third party player on the iPad, such as avplayerhd or cinexplayer. Search app store for AVI and read some reviews.
2) Convert the files in a program such as handbrake, mpegstreamclip on the pc and import them.
3) Download air video from the app store, install the server software on the pc and stream away.
Take your pick.

Exporting mov to avi; crashes when Sound Settings is clicked

We've reproduced this crash on two Windows 7 PCs (a 32-bit & a 64-bit PC). It happens every time when we want to convert any .mov to .avi. After clicking Options, to set conversion settings (video settings can be adjusted w/o problems, and Sound Settings CAN be adjusted when set for .mov to .mov), but after we select .mov to .avi, just clicking on Sound Settings crashes QT, every time, on both of our PCs.

I am haveing the exact same problem....also just using the sound setting were there at and trying to exporting it will never complete with out a i/o error.....

What's the best settings to Export movie for smaller file sizes?

Hi, I've been working on some helmet cam footage which was taken with Xvidmpeg4.avi and was advised to convert it to dvavi for editing in PrE, this created a huge file to work with, the original footage was 206mb and the finished edited dvavi file is now 1.56gb, what settings can I use to export the movie with a much smaller file size, but hopefully try to retain some quality, to upload to places like Vimeo? I thought I would try to export it in the same as the original footage Xvidmpeg4.avi thinking this might compress it again to something like the 206mb of the original and the original was good quality footage, but PrE just hangs up with a box stating 'Xvid Status (Not Responding)' and when I try to cancel that the whole thing crashes and closes? So when I go to File > Export > Movie, what would be the best settings in:
General > File Type ?
Video > Compressor
lots of options under compressor if I select the file type as Microsoft AVI, so I'm guessing something under that would compress it to a smaller file size but what, I could spend all night trying different settings so hoping for some advice?
Or, if I'm completely in the wrong place for the settings and should be doing something else please tell me?
Thanks, Gav

Thanks for the replies, but to me it's still confusing - simply because there are so many settings, if I go to Share/Personal Computer I'm then presented with a whole load of settings
NTSC Flash Video
MPEG
DVAVI
Windows Media
QuickTime
and under each of those is a lot more advanced settings?
I'm guessing I wouldn't use flash or quicktime, so which of the others would I use and what are the advanced settings to use as I can't find anything that is .wmv or .mov
What I've done with other videos that I've exported from PrE as dvavi is then to put it through Windows Movie Maker, Publish Movie, This Computer, then put the settings to Windows Media DVD Quality (PAL) (3.0 Mps) - this seemed to be the only setting that reduced the file size considerably but still had good quality, but it's still about twice the original file size?
This all seems long winded to me, open original file, convert original file, output another file, then output the file again in something else which then results in loss of quality and a larger file than the original? I'm ending up with lots of files, was hoping just to edit in Premiere then export/publish that edited clip and that would be it, then upload to the net.
Is it not possible to just edit my original footage and save it, just like you would with something like a word document, should I be using something else and not Premiere?
Thanks.

Mov to avi file /compression

I've created a movie with Quicktime using "File->Reading Sequence" and after "Save". So I got a .mov file. Is it possible to convert it to a .avi file and to perform also some compressions so that it doesn't take to much harddisk space? Is it possible with Quicktime or do we need to use another program?

Quicktime can export to AVI...It's under Export.
Mpeg-Streamclip can also convert to AVI. Mpeg-Streamclip will give you more codec options.

Export to AVI.

Click the "Settings" button to change the video codec.
Use DV codec for best file quality.

HT204382 what software do i need to play movies on avi file . have connected a external memory disk and all the movies are in avi format.

What software do i need to install in order to be able
to play movies in .avi format.
have connected an external memory and all the entertainment
files are in .avi format.
Ansver i get : does not support

VLC is a good choice. While I don't know if it will play your files, Perian is a helper app for Quicktime which allows you to play a lot of things in the Quicktime Player.
There is also Flip4Mac which allows you to play windows media files in Quicktime.
Finally, note that the extension on a video file doesn't really tell you what you need to play it. The .avi, .mpg, etc. is only the wrapper around the actual video. The video is encoded by some means and needs to be decoded. The video inside the .avi can be encoded in one of many different schemes.
VLC, Perian, Flip4Mac, and many others, are all able to decode various flavors of encoding. Having all of those in your toolbox will help to allow you to play most of the things you'll find.

Exporting movies to wmv files

Trying to export short movies into wmv files. After I create the file through Expert Settings and choosing wmv, I open the file and it is only 30 seconds long. The original file in iMovie is 3 minutes long. I have tried other movies and even saved them as MOV's and they all are only 30 seconds after exporting as well. Is there a setting that I am not seeing that is defaulting to 30 seconds for the length? How do I change it so the exported movie is as long as the original in iMovie? Thanks!!

I purchsed the Studio version and it works fine now. Thanks for the help. One issue I do see is that I can't change the size of the movies while exporting as WMV files. Before I upgraded I was able to choose the size of the movie I wanted to export, now that is all greyed out. Is there a reason for that?

PSE 11 won't play MOV or AVI files

Attempting to open up movie files MOV or AVI, PSE 11 quits working and has to be force quit
Any help welcome.

I'm on Mac
Thanks but I'm confused.
I just want to organize stuff, not anything else, so I just need to see what's in the video file and also have a thumbnail for it. The video files are all grayed out; clicking on them brings up a player but nothing plays and PSE 11 quits working.
I don't think that's what should be happening.
If I remember right in PSE 9 you could at least view the videos?

The export control function on my QT 7.6.9 will no longer allow me to export mov as wav files. I have the Pro version and a QT license. What shall I do?

The export control on my QuickTime Pro 7.6.9 no longer allows me to export mov audio files as wav. I have a user license number. Should I unintall and re-install? Will I be able to quote my current license number to avoid having to pay again? Help!

The export control on my QuickTime Pro 7.6.9 no longer allows me to export mov audio files as wav.
Are you saying the option is missing or that it is grayed out? If grayed out, what is the audio compression format used in the MOV file container?

Lost purchased files: computer crashed during album download

Hi there, I just purchased an album and my computer crashed during the download. When I rebooted, it continued downloading the album, but I am missing 3 tracks. Is there a way to get these files without paying for them? I'm sad to have paid for 3 tracks I didn't get! Thanks very much --

The downlaods never finished, so at the top of itunes (Where you see File, Edit, View ect ect) Hit Store>Check for purchases and all unfinished downloads/purchases should start downloading
