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

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?

Export WMA file with QT Pro Windows

2 questions:
- How do I export to WMA using QT Pro on Windows
- Why is my WMA export in QT Pro MAC limited to 4 seconds?
I've got a friend that needs to put a QT movie from her digital camera in Powerpoint. Since PPT doesn't import MOV files, I recommended she use QT Pro to export a WMA.
It appears she doesn't have a WMA export in QT Pro on Windows. However, on QT Pro for MAC I do. I have a G5 MAC running OSX Tiger and QT Pro 7.0.4
I actually tried doing this for her, but when I exported to WMA the video length would never exceed 4 sec.

You must "pay the piper" to export to WMP formats via QuickTime Pro.
Upgrade your flip4mac component and your Mac can export to WMP.
Next question?
Why (if your QuickTime formatted file works) would you want to create a WMP file from your work?

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.

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

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.

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.

How to open MPG files with Quicktime PRO

I have just bought my first Mac.
I have a lot of videos, that I did with my Sony DVD webcam,
and I used the sony software to download them.
All of them are in MPG extension.
Not MPEG2 or other, just MPG.
But the Quick time says:
The movie could not be opened.
The file is not a movie file.
How can I open them ?
Thanks

I just need the Apple MPEG-2 Playback Component, right ?
As indicated above, you need both the QT MPEG-2 Playback component (handles the MPEG-2 video data only) and an application like MPEG Streamclip (free) to handle the demultiplexing of the "muxed" data and act as a data bridge to the QT environment. Basically you are dealing with two somewhat different methods of storing and playing data. In the first case, the audio and video data is stored in "blocks" of data that are spatially interspersed in a single data stream to maintain physical synchronization. QT, on the other hand, is based on multiple tracks of data which are synchronized temporally to an external clock. The problem is changing the former to the later and keeping the audio and video content in proper synchronization.
So, today I bought the QuickTime pro and just thinking about editing the films in imovie, it will be of no help then... right?
As indicated above, MPEG-1/2 files are "playback" only compatible with QT and then only if the correct QT components are installed. They are only partially "conversion" compatible since QT, by itself, can only handle the video or the audio data but not both at the same time which is necessary for temporal synchronization of both to a common clock reference. Further, since source data does not have common time references for both audio and video data, it cannot be edited in its "muxed" state in time based app like QT. So if you were planning on using QT 7 Pro and the MPEG-2 Playback component to convert your files to an iMovie editable format, then yes, you wasted your money buying a QT 7 Pro key here. On the other hand, QT 7 Pro can convert/edit MPEG-2 content which is stored as elementary data streams (i.e., separate tracks) of data within a file container. In addition, if you plan to layer, scale, mask, etc. content (i.e., picture-with-picture, picture-in-picture, backgrounded video, etc. effects), then QT 7 Pro would be very useful for "quickie" edits not requiring a full-blown video editor. (I personally recommend having both QT 7 Pro and MPEG Streamclip installed as each has complementary editing features not found in the other.)

Export dialogue box crashed quicktime pro?

After upgrading our Avid Quicktime exporting is broken.
As per Avid we can only go as high as 7.2 for now but all versions of 7 that I've been able to find and install exhibit the exact same crash: when I select File\Export\Options and open the Settings tab Quicktime just completely goes away.
I can play videos and audio but export is totally broken, which has broken our Avid and Sorenson as well.
Because it's every version of Quicktime that's doing this, I'm thinking the uninstalls I'm attempting aren't quite thorough enough.
Anyone have this problem with the export dialogue?

I found this post in an Avid Forum. It works! (BTW, I'm running Windows XP Pro SP2 32-Bit)
Ok, behold...I have a fix!!! I actually can't believe I didn't remember this. Ok, so I noticed Firefox crashed when opening a HD QT file. Once I saw this, I immediately remembered that you CAN NOT run quicktime in the default "Direct X" mode on Win64. To change this, go to "Edit>Preferences>Quicktime Preferences" and click on the "Advanced" tab. Set the "video" to "safe mode (GDI only)". This fixed any crashing I had with quicktime, quicktime in Firefox, quicktime pro exporting and even fixed my problems with Sorenson Squeeze. Horay for me! Apple should make a note of this to users downloading for Win64. This may actually be the same case for Vista but I'm not sure.

Compressor exporting bad files from quicktime to MPEG2

After working perfectly for months, compressor2 started to export bad filmes while converting quicktime to mpeg 2. The exported file appears as a blank white paper icon. When importing this into DVD Pro 3, the program won't acccept it. any ideas? BTW, i am running os 10.3.9 on a powerbook g4. thank you.

Hello milktray,
Must ask these questions before we can help.
1. What version of QuickTime Pro do you have?
2. By "export to USB, I think you mean, "export to flash drive" - correct?
Next is FYI: QuickTime Pro does not output into the AVI file format (which format is really a "universal wrapper" produced by many video camera. QuickTime Pro "should" be used to export to such formats as .m4v. And - for what you're planning to do, it should be in the "bulkiest" version called "desktop-m4v." When we get you to the point where you've exported the AVI video to "(name of file)desktop-m4v" then we'll see if your TV can recognize it.
So after you've answered the questions above, I'll get you through the simple (and rather fast) steps to produce your m4v video.
One more thing: once you've created an m4v video, when you open that file (either with Command + O or by double clicking): it will automatically open in iTunes (and will be included in the iTunes "Movies" folder.

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?

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.
Visit the iPod discussions pages for more answers.

Playing wmv files in Quicktime Pro

I really want to play wmv files in quicktime. I read that quicktime pro should be able to do so. I have quicktime pro but nether Quicktime Player X or Quicktime 7 Pro can open it, and I know the file isn't corrupted cause it plays on a windows computer. Please help

You need to install Flip4Mac to play unprotected WMV files. WMV content which contains DRM can't be played in Mac OS X.
