Exporting video through quicktime to iPod

When I try to export a home video to my iPod using quicktime, it pops up a box asking me to purchase quicktime which I already am using. Under "file" I open the file and then when I chose "export" is when it pops up this box. Can someone please advise what I am to do.I even reinstalled quicktime hoping this would fix the issue.

  • Exporting DivX through Quicktime

    Hi,
    I am trying to export a DivX video through Quicktime pro Version 7.6.2, It gave me the option to export movie files into DivX, and it would show in the export window that the file is exporting but the converted divx file doesn't exist anywhere in my computer (i did a search and came out nothing) even though Quicktime has spent more than 1 hour exporting the file.
    What really strange is, I tried this a number of times and found out that the divX export only works one time for 1 file and only after I restart my computer, so If I have 10 files i want to convert, I have to restart my computer 10 times for each file, which I find is very ridiculous.
    Can someone explain what is wrong here? is there a way for me to fix this problem?
    I had DivX7 for mac and Perian installed and a Quicktime pro Version 7.6.2

    I think you'll be more likely to get help with this if you ask in the DivX forums. If QuickTime can successfully export the video to one of the formats that QuickTime natively supports - if you haven't tried that (H.264, for instance), give that a try - then it's probably not a problem with QuickTime itself.
    Good luck.

  • Lose sound when exporting MPEG with QuickTime to iPod format

    I paid the $30 to be upgrade to QuickTime Pro in the hopes that I would be able to export MPEGs from my digital camera for viewing in iPods. The video comes out fine but there is no sound. Any suggestions regarding how to get the sound to export too?

    Thanks; the discussion is helpful.
    When I downloaded the MPEG Streamclip software from http://www.squared5.com/; the conversion process was agonizingly slow. As an example, a single 6 minute Quicktime movie took hours to convert. After it was converted, then it not was recognizable by iTunes. So, MPEG Streamclip has not worked for me.
    This seems like such a straightforward process that Apple would support. Basically, you can create iPhoto albums that synchronize with iPods; however you CAN NOT create Slideshows that synchronize with iPods. This is so frustrating since the slideshows have much more functionality and presumably would be what most people would find most useful. The process to get a slideshow to the iPod requires you to go through Quicktime and then Quicktime to ipod; this process only occassionally seems to work.
    Anyway, Quicktime Pro, the $30 application, seems to sometimes work and sometimes not work for conversion of Quicktime files to iPods. I tried using non AAC protected audio files for the iPhoto slideshow sound and the conversion from Quicktime to iPod worked. In other cases, the conversion from Quicktime Pro to iPod did not work. I am at a loss to explain consistently what is happening when you use Quicktime to export to the iPod. When I open the Quicktime movie file the option to Export to iPod is grayed out. However, when I open the Quicktime application the option is black and available.

  • IBook G3 Dual USB exporting video through firewire & playing video DVD's

    Is it possible to export video from Powerpoint, Final Cut Pro or Quicktime Pro through the firewire port to an external device on this machine?
    I am running OSX Panther. I have tried several times to go to several external devices and have had no luck.
    Also, is there a way to load the Apple DVD player and play video DVD's on this iBook? I have installed an internal CD-RW/DVD drive, which works fine for burning CD's or reading data DVD's, but I can not get movies to play.
    Thanks,
    MPH

    It's very important to determine which iBook you have, since different models use different adapters.
    Check out this Apple Knowledge Base article to determine which model iBook it is:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=88039
    Also, you can click on the blue Apple logo in the upper left of the display, and choose "About This Mac" from the drop-down menu. It will tell you the MHz rating of the Mac. Clicking on "More Info…" will open the System Profiler which will give you even more information about your computer, including which type of optical drive it has (which, assuming it still has the original optical drive, can be a clue as to which model it is).

  • Is it possible to EXPORT video films from the iPod to iTunes ?

    EXPORTING FILES FROM IPOD TO ITUNES
    Obviously, I know how to send files from iTunes to iPod.
    But is it possible to do the opposite way ?
    I have video files on my iPod that got lost on my hard drive.
    I'd like to save them back to the hard drive (and import them back into iTunes).
    Anyone out there knows if this is possible ?

    There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. One that I recall does videos as well is iPodCopy. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for it: iPodCopy

  • 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.

  • Exporting Video Screen Capture from iPod Touch

    I'm looking to export video of me using an app that we have developed on the iPod Touch to export as a video (in the same way that screenshots can be captured). Does anyone know if a) There's an app for that , or b) if there's a cable that I can plug into the ipod that will plug into my MacBook Pro (ie not the Griffin aircraft cable) to give me a high quality screen capture video? I'm finding that using a video camera of using the app isn't giving high enough quality for what I'm trying to achieve. Thanks.

    What happens if you tap "more" under music?
    Is there no video option there?

  • Final Cut Pro 4:  Problems exporting video using QuickTime conversion

    just recently updated my Mac to version 10.4.11 -
    Ever since, Final Cut Pro won't let me Export my video using QuickTime Conversion.
    Its starts exporting, then freezes at 79%. A general error message pops up.
    I know its not a space issue, because I have 20GB left and the video i'm exporting is only 2 GB.
    I installed all the software updates.
    Can anyone help? Do I need a new version of Final Cut?

    1) this is the final cut express forum not the pro.
    2) 10.4.6 is not the latest, try updating to 10.4.11
    3) after any system update you must run disk utility to repair permissions or errors that may not have been addressed during the upgrade process.
    4) have you tried exporting as a reference movie then playing it in qtpro, if ok then export.
    5) what are you trying to export too?

  • Issue with Exporting video as Quicktime, Self Contained

    Hi, I am a new Final Cut Pro user, and a new Mac user really. I am taking a film editing class and we are required to capture and edit HDV footage into essentially a 2-3 minute edited video. So I completed the capture and editing, and my finished product came to about 2:15. My professor is requiring us to turn in the assignment on a flash drive. Problem is, my exported video lags/skips/pauses throughout the entire thing, especially when played on a flash drive. Also, I noticed the file size is abnormally large for a 2 minute video, clocking it at around 2.3 gig. I also noticed that it exports a bunch of source files as well, and the exported video won't play without them. However, I am 100% positive that I exported "as a self contained video." So shouldn't that mean the video should be able to play on its own, no strings attached so to speak?
    Something is just fishy about my video when I export it. All I want is a simple quicktime that should play without lag, and play on its own, but instead I get a huge video with all the source files, despite the fact that I checked the "self contained" box. Is there anything that stands out that I might be doing wrong? A particular sequence setting I should change? I'd greatly appreciate it.

    Hi -
    The reason that your video is playing back poorly is that a USB flash drive does not have the speed necessary to support playing back your movie. I am confident that the flash drive is just a way of delivering the file to your instructor, and that once delivered, they will transfer the mov file from the flash drive to a regular disk drive for playback.
    You can test this yourself right now by dragging the mov file from your USB flash drive to your hard drive and playing it from there.
    If it does not play correctly after having done that, post back.
    In regards to the having other source files on the drive, are you confident they were created when you exported your finished movie to it?
    What exact method did you use to export your movie - it should have been: remove all in and out points from the timeline, click on the sequence icon for the sequence you wish to export, go to the menu File > Export > Quicktime Movie and when the dialog box opens, make sure Make Movie Self Contained is checked, as well as Current Settings and Audio and Video, unless otherwise specified by your instructor.
    If it were me, I would export the mov to my hard drive, the copy that export to the USB flash drive, but it is up to you.
    The size of the resultant file is depends on the codec and frame size you used for the edit.
    Hope this helps.

  • Troubleshooting Exporting Videos using QuickTime X, to an Apple TV Format.

    Hi every one!
    Here is my problem, when exporting an .avi file to itunes, using QuickTime X, depending of the .avi file it seems, I can only have the iPhone Format Choice or (and it's the first time since 2 years) the Apple TV format available at last.
    The .avi Files, that I have tried in the past, where all around 700 MO, all with all most the same settings.
    I'm going to buy an Apple TV soon, but I would like to be sure that every file that I will export using QuickTime X, to iTunes in the Apple TV format will work.
    Any idea why it's random like that?
    Any tips to help me with?
    Attached to this post, a Screenshot of my problem.
    Thanks!

    I checked Hand Brake and the Wiki of it... I have to say that I'm a little bit lost in the settings when you export it to an Apple TV 2, or as an Apple Universal Format.... Which would olso work on an ATV 2...
    What would be the best quality/settings that the Apple TV 2 would accept flowlessly?
    Newer devices are backwards compatible with older device compression settings but older devices are not forwards compatible with the latest device compression settings. The original iPod video device was limited to 320x240 displays at 30 a max of 30 fps with an H.264 data rate of less than 1000 Kbps. The software was then upgraded a year later to support 640x480 display files at 30 fps and allowed H.264 data rates of 1700 Kbps/MPEG-4 data rates of 2500 Kbps. From then on, the devices have be continuously upgraded to handle larger and larger display at various frame rates with the same or greater data rates. For instance, the original TV device was limited to 720p video at 24/25 fps but only 540p (960x540) at 30 fps. To be completely universal, a file must be encoded for the oldest device that can play it. All newer devices can play these older files but usually do so by scaling the original file to the larger display size reducing their playback quality. On the other hand, the latest HD compressed files have data rates that exceed the playback capabilities of the older devices so these older device cannot play HD compressed files for newer devices. Think of it like the difference between a CD player and a BD player. Most BD players can play BDs, DVD, SVCDs, VCDs, and CDs but a CD player won't play VCDs, SVCDs, DVDs, or BDs.
    As to the best video settings for any particular device, they would be the largest ecoded settings at the highest frame rate and higest data rate that the device can play. This willl provide the best video quality playback for the particular device being used. All lesser encode matrices, lessened frame and/or data rates potentially reduce your video playback quality but will still play. If your system includes DD 5.1 audio plyaback quality, then the best audio playback would be from a file that also contains an AC3 DD5.1 audio track. However, the device will also play an AAC DD Pro Logic 2, Stereo AAC, or Mono AAC audio track with decreasing audion source directionality. I prefer having both audio tracks available.
    You seem to be missing the point that what plays back best on one device may not be the best playback settings for another device. You really need to read the specs for the device you plan to use. These specifications will give you the maximum acceptable settings for your device. All lesser settings will play on the device but with reduced audio and/or video quality. You can encode everything as a 320x240 H.264/AAC video file and it will play back on all devices. But the playback would only be "best" on the original 5th generation video iPod with the original software and "less than best" for all other devices marketed since then. In short, compare the secifications for all of the devices you plan to use the same file on and use the pre-set option for the device having the lowest setting spesifications if the specifications differ. However, as already stated, all "current" mobile device now support the mimimum 720p 30 fps Main Profile 3.1 encode preset (with all of the A5 chipped devices now maxed at 1080p 30 fps High Profile 4.1). Therefore, I will repeat one last time, I prefer the TV2 preset which supports all current mobile, iPad, and TV2 devices. If you have older "classic" devices, which you want the same file to play on, then use the preset compatible with that oldest device as your "universal" preset.

  • I've tried exporting videos from quicktime..I dont get it

    I have videos already on my computer. I went to the support website for apple.com and it had a movie to watch on how to get movies on your ipod. it said if I used quick time pro (which I paid 30 dollars for) that I could export movies to my ipod, I also downloaded some freeware that is a ipod converter cause ipods only read certain video files or something like that? I am really confused. All I want to do is get my video identity that has already been through my ipod converter freeware to my ipod..
    I've tried exporting a music video and it exported it..said exportings done..I go to itunes look in the videos section and I see.......nothing! So where is it exporting it? and what am I doing wrong?
    well if anyone could help me..that would be great. thanks in advanced!

    I've tried exporting a music video and it exported it..said exportings done..I go to itunes look in the videos section and I see.......nothing! So where is it exporting it? and what am I doing wrong?
    Some converters may have the option to send the target file directly to iTunes. Others do not. Even if a converter has this option, it usually must be invoked to let it know you want this done. Otherwise, the normal process is for you to enter a Target file name and path to the location/directory where you want the file to be stored. Where did you tell the application to send it? Have you used the "Find" function to try and locate it? Or you can simulate a second conversion and simply note the current default point of storage.
    As to which application to use for conversion, the best advice is to use the one which does the job and is the easiest for you to use. For instance, don't try using QT Pro to convert an MPEG1 file to an iPod compatible format. You will lose your audio if you do. Use an MPEG based, third party program instead. If you want a "goof proof," high quality, multi-pass conversion and have all the time in the world to let it run, then try the QT Pro export "Movie to iPod (320x24)" preset. Most likely, you will test and end up using a converter which best suits your needs in terms of efficiency in time, space, or complexity for the current given project.

  • How to export video to quicktime and keep it looking good?

    Hi,
    I am just wondering, what is the best codec and what are the best export settings to use to take DVCpro50 footage to something that looks good for web/browser viewing? is it recommended to use the animation codec at 100%?, and then via quicktime export to something like mp4?
    When I try to export from FCP to mp4 (h.264), I get "codec error".. Which always makes me just export to dv ntsc, and then from quicktime I convert to mp4.. However, when going to DV NTSC, the picture immediately becomes blurry and fuzzy..
    Would love to know how is the best way to do this.
    -p

    Not sure why you are getting a codec error...
    Try this method first...
    File - Export - Quicktime Conversion... then when the window comes up change the default (or Recent Settings) to BROADBAND HIGH... then, click OPTIONS and change the size to something you want... if you choose 480x270 it will be widescreen 480x320 will be 4:3.
    This will give you great clarity at about 3megs a minute.
    Good luck,

  • How can I export 1080p video through iMovie 10.0.5?

    Hi,
    I know this question has been asked many times, but I just cannot find a solution. I need help please.
    I have searched for tutorials and questions and they all say to export the video through quicktime. It could be done by clicking share, then choosing quicktime. But the thing is I do not have that option on my iMovie app on my MacbookPro.
    Once I press share i have the options to share on Theater, Email, iTunes, Youtube, Facebook, Vimeo, CNN ireport, and saving it as a file.
    It shows that 1080p could be an option, but I am not able to pick 1080p as an export on any of the options to share shown above.

    I was in the same boat at kiril. I wanted to export a .mov file. What you can also do is select the clip, then select "share" it will bring up a separate menu. If you select to email the clip it will create a file on your email application. With the email open you can then right click on the file within the email and select "save to downloads folder".
    Within the downloads folder your file will be listed as a .mov file. Move the .mov where ever you want it to go.
    OR you can select within the email when you right click "save attachment" and select where you want to save the .mov file.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I export video to end up as 16:9 and not 4:3

    When I export video using QuickTime as current setting at 720x480 anamorphic 16:9, the video ends up being 4:3. Why is this?

    Thanks for the link I played around with the setting that were suggested, my movies where exported as 16:9 but why is it that when I bring my videos into imovie or idvd it still comes in as 4:3?
    The only setting that seems to be working is when I export my video using QT conversion and selecting the DV stream format but I'm losing quality in my video and the play back is choppy I'm guessing cause of frames being dropped during the conversion.
    Thanks for you help.
