Failure to upload MPEG-4 QuickTime movie to YouTube

Tried several times, yesterday and today, to upload an MPEG-4 QuickTime movie to YouTube. I created it according to their specs. I emailed them twice in two days and haven't got a reply yet.
This is the Safari message I get after about a minute of what seems like uploading to the YouTube web site—from their upload page:
Safari can’t open the page “http://v168.youtube.com/myvideospost”. The error was: “lost network connection” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1005)
I spoke with Apple tech, Earthlink (ISP) tech, and searched Google with keywords, but still don't know what's going on. I'm hoping YouTube will reply to me. Has anyone else had this problem recently?—and solved it?
(Did you also prepare your upload according to YouTube's specs?)
Thank you,
Morty
eMac Mac OS X (10.4.8) iLife '06 w/iMovie 6.0.3

using
"NSURLErrorDomain:-1005"
as a search term here or at google offers a wide variety of posts.. and "fixes" ...
* use another browser, e.g. Firefox
* reset Safari and clear cache
* set MTU to a lower number .. .(<< don't ask ME! ... somewhere in your network/ethernet settings... )
that error occured me lately while accessing this board ... I thought, some "maintaince failor", tried later - done.
sorry, for being ... more a voodoo priest then a helping hand ..

I am trying to compress an 18GB quicktime movie for youtube/vimeo sharing but Compressor keeps telling me it's failed. Any ideas?

make sure you have sufficient drive space on your target drive. Make sure you have a minimum of 15% free space on your startup drive. What format is the original quicktime movie?

Exporting MPEG-4 Quicktime movie

I'm trying to export an iMovie MPEG-4 project to Quicktime. The movie size (all clips sizes added together) is around 64MB. I'm setting 'full quality.' The result is a 13MB movie that Quicktime cannot open (simply 'The movie could not be opened').
If I export with 'expert settings' to MPEG-4 it works. I get a 45MB movie out of it that Quicktime can actually play. But why doesn't it work if I just choose 'full quality'? With 'expert settings' the are lot of parameters to set, and honestly I have no idea what are the best settings. What I want out of it is a movie with the same quality as the incoming clips. Since it was reduced to 45MB, I assume it's further compressed. Also, I would prefer that it was more user friendly without a lot of parameters to set. My wife will never be able to use it if she has to go through a lot of settings. Is there an easy, automatic way to do this?

Full Quality exports to a QuickTime movie that's the
same type and quality as the project itself. So a DV
project exports to a DV movie, but an MPEG-4 project
exports to an MPEG-4 movie. (The project type always
determines the export movie type.) Usually the Full
Quality movie isn't good for sharing for it is too
large.
All the other "Compress movie for" popUp menu
selections create an MPEG-4 movie too, suitable for
the item shown in the menu.
There are other ways to export simply too. They all
begin with choosing Expert Settings and hitting the
Share button.
Note the two popUp menus at the bottom of the window
that opens. Use the "Export" popUp to set the type of
export you want. In your case, "Movie to MPEG-4".
Then you can configure your export two ways:
1. Click the "Options" button and configure your own
settings. Not easy to do unless you know quite a lot
about QuickTime.
Or;
2. Set the "Use" popUp to "Broadband - High" or some
other configuration. This popUp lets you pick a
"recommended" group of export settings, eliminating
the need to configure your own.
The various categories in the "Use" popUp are
associated with the purpose of the movie, letting you
pick settings best suited for everything from
high-speed networks to dial-up connections.
Note too that after you set the "Use" popUp, you can
click the "Options" button to examine those settings
and adjust any you want. The bottom of that window
tells you the expected size of the export and other
useful information.
Many of the "Use" popUp menu settings are similar to
the "Compress movie for" settings in the iMovie
export dialog. But "Use" settings are more
configurable and more details are shown.
Karl
TIP: it can take a long time to export an iMovie
project. When testing the quality of a particular
export, don't export the entire project. Use the
"Share selected clips only" button in the export
dialog to export a minute or so.
Good idea. Why didn't I think of this? I just tried to export the whole movie repeatedly. The interesting thing is, if I just export a single clip, the resulting movie can be opened by Quicktime (as opposed to the whole movie). Alas, the quality is awfull. The size has been reduced from 9MB to 2MB, so obviously 'full quality' does not preserve the quality.
Also, exporting as MPEG-4 movie (.mp4) doesn't work either, again it reduces the quality. Exporting to QuickTime, but choosing the MPEG-4 coder works, though. There are some settings to choose, but most are straightforward, except 'key frames'. I have no idea what it means, I just set it to 'automatic'? I don't really know how to set the quality slider either. I guess I can experiment, and set it so that the size of the output is approximately the same as the input. I would assume that that means there is no quality loss?
Once I have set up this, it seems iMovie remembers the settings (are those project specific?), and then my wife can just use those without modifying anything.

Pros and cons of quicktime movie or YouTube on your website?

Hello All,
I want to add a short movie to my website and I have watched the tutorials on adding a quicktime movie and a YouTube movie to your website.
However, they didn't say what the pros and cons were. Is it better to add a quicktime movie to your site or a link to YouTube.
How easy or hard is it to add a link to Vimeo?
Thanks for all your help and suggestions.
Mike

Hi Michael,
The pros of hosting the movie yourself on your .me website is that you have control over the content in your movie; if you put copyrighted music in your video and upload it to youtube and they recognize it (and they usually do) no one will be able to view the video on youtube without being logged in to youtube as you.
The cons are that if you upload movies to iweb, you'll be using some bandwidth every time someone watches it, and there is a limit to what is include with the mobile me subscription.
Adding a youtube video embedded in your site is easy. Just use the HTML snippet (or did they update one just for you tube?) and copy the "embed" information from the file on you tube, and paste it in the html window. easy as pie.
I don't know anything about "Vimeo" but any links are easy if you're leaving your site and sending a clicker to the page with what you want to show. Embedding is easy if they give you embed tools at the site you want to borrow from (like youtube does).

Getting avi, mpeg and quicktime movies to play in front row

Having located the movies folder - I have created alias's for my movie folders on my external hard drive. However some of the these movies play perfectly well and some do not.
Also when I drag an mpeg movie into the folder to play in Front row - the sound comes through fine but without any picture.
Any help would be appreciated.
cheers

It is all about the codecs used in within the movie files, quite often even though files are named .avi or .mpg they are not of the same format as the codecs used to rip the files are different.
Alas there are hundreds of variations so therefore your best bet is to get add ons like Perian or Flip4Mac which add various codecs to Quicktime.

Problem with QuickTime movie in YouTube

I uploaded some videos taken with myphone and needed to rotate them, which I did using QT Pro. Looks great. But when I uploaded the video to YouTube it is still the wrong orientation. I spliced three clips together and that worked... just not the rotation. Any suggestions would be GREAT Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Go into quicktime, edit-->preferences. Hit the File Types tab. Make sure that quicktime is set as the default movie player for the types of movies you are watching.
See if that helps...

I can't view any Quicktime movies from a drive that was uploaded by a Mac

I have a drive with approx 250 GBs of Quicktime movies that I need to edit. The movies were uploaded onto the drive by a Mac running Quicktime 7.1.3 Pro. This is the same version of Quicktime I am running. When I try to view the movies or import them in AVID Liquid or Express Pro, I can hear the audio, but the screen remains black. I have tried to convert the files in AVIs, MPEGs, and AVID files to no avail. Does anyone have any idea what is going on? What seems so strange to me is that I can't even view them.
BYW: I am able to access the contents of the drive because I am running Mac Drive.

Pick one of the files and open it using QuickTime Player. Open the Movie Info window (Control-i) and note the video codec used.
Not all codecs are compatible with Mac's and PC's. If it was rendered using a Mac only video codec you'll need to have the Mac export the files again using a cross platform codec.

I am unable to upload Quicktime movies made with imovie to the web. I've tried using Filezilla (which worked well until recently) or even going directly to the webhost via Cox. The upload gets caught in a loop. nojo99

I am unable to upload Quicktime movies made with imovie to the web. I've tried using Filezilla (which worked well until recently) or even going directly to the webhost via Cox (my internet provider). The upload always gets caught in a loop. I have repaired permissions. I've been successfully uploading movies each week to my church website (or intermediary like Filezilla) for over a year. I cannot figure out why I'm no longer successful. Your feedback is desired and welcome. nojo99

ITunes 11 has converted some songs to Quicktime movie format. How can I convert them back to MPEGs? format

iTunes 11 has converted some songs to Quicktime movie format. How can I convert them back to MPEGs?

I didn't mess with the iTunes Media folder previously, so I don't think that was the cause. Anyway, I manually fixed most of the songs, but I still can't figure out how to fix the movies that became listed as songs.
Here is a screenshot of what it looks like when I click on "Get Info" for one of the movies (which has ended up in the music section on iTunes):
There is no option to change the media kind to "movie" or "video" even though it is a movie and it still plays as a movie if I press play.

Upload quicktime movies over IP

Question is, can you upload quicktime movies over IP. If so, What codec is the best for uploading and playing. Also, can Apple TV automatically play multiple playlists.
The reason that I asked is that I want to replace our Digital Sign-age displays with quicktime movies that play all day.
Thanks in advance.
Gene

You can only upload to AppleTV via iTunes (iTunes machine on same wireless/wired network rather than a USB connection like an iPod). You can't log into AppleTV using a web page and upload video to it remotely if that's what you want to do.
Unfortunately it doesn't even do video/movie playlists let alone multiple ones.

Export to Quicktime/Movie to MPEG-4 Quality Much Worse with Snow Leopard?

I just tried exporting an HD movie from iMovie using Export to Quicktime - Movie to MPEG-4 for the first time since upgrading to Snow Leopard and besides taking forever to export, the quality at the same settings I've used before is terrible. There's terrible macroblocking even on relatively slow moving scenes. I've exported several movies using the same workflow previously to upgrading and the video was perfect.
I use mpeg-4, H.264 encoding, 4096 bit rate, 1920x1080 HD resolution, key frame every 15 frames. It's definitely a change in the encoder as just sharing to the Media Browser results in expected quality.
As a test, I tried upping the bitrate to 5120 but it didn't help with the macroblocking.
Anyone with similar problems and/or a solution?

I've actually started noticing more artifacts using the Share to Media Browser quicktime presets. The movies that are created don't seem to be as high quality as ones I've created before. It's almost like quicktime is missing keyframes or something and then artifacting. It's not consistent. I've got one mobile formatted movie where it artifacts badly in the first minute and then not at all afterwards. It's kind of frustrating.

Quicktime movies with both pics and videos don't upload correctly to YouTub

I have a Quicktime movie with pictures, video clips and music. The quicktime movie plays fine in Quicktime, but only the video parts upload to YouTube. How do I fix this? I have tried converting from mov to flv before uploading and same problem.
I have uploaded Quicktime movies successfully with just pics and music and it has worked.

I'm hopeful this explanation will fix this same problem I've been banging my head on for several days now as I thought I would get fancy and add some graphics from .jpgs but stretch them into video segments by properly adding them to the working video in QTPro on Windows. Both Youtube and Yahoo Video removed my graphics (tracks) so hopefully flattening will solve it however I am concerned about quality.
Before the graphic .jpg adds I was doing the following:
1. My vids strart off as MP4's from various clips taken from nother device. I load them into QT Pro in segments and then end up saving so they go to the .MOV format.
2. I upload to Youtube and all is good.
Now with the flattening of .MOV back to MP4's how much quality will I lose? Should I really add the graphics as part of step one and then the one time save to a default .mov cause me one generation less of video quality loss?
Tks for the help.

Mac Convert MPEG to AVI, FLV to AVI, F4V, and Quicktime MOV to AVI. You can also convert from AVI to MPEG or other major formats.

What is tyhe best video /audio converter to use on a Mac? To convert
Convert MPEG to AVI, FLV to AVI, F4V, and Quicktime MOV to AVI. to convert from AVI to MPEG or other major formats?

I prefer using Mac Video Converter software to do video conversion. I convert Quicktime MOV to AVI so that I can play the video on PS3.

QuickTime Movie File-Uploads on iWeb but no playback on the internet

Hello, Forum Techies,
Always trying to go beyond and want a movie clip on my website, but I may have met my match
I have the following QuickTime Movie file uploaded to the web page as noted below.
The file extension is MVI_038-#3-13. The file size is 663.8 Mbs
The website space is 1 GB using 10 Mbs upload speed.
The movie clip does not play on the website.
Question arising: I believe the space is sufficient on the website, but not sure if it this is a internet speed issue? I have other movies mounted successfully on another website, but their file size is not a huge and the webspace is not as much.
Therefore, I am curious to know if it is an internet speed issue?
Here is the URL for the page that I have included the movie clip:
http://thebigbenmemorialtrail.ca/Backgrounder_Trail_Scouting.html
It's a well visited site internationally and because it is a major project in our County, documenting the construction of a new trail is an interesting feature to include on this website.
Hope there is a solution. And, YouTube is not an alternative because for some strange reason I cannot get signed on no matter what efforts have been made with Google and I am not able to find a channel that applies to this kind of a movie, which is not entertainment, musical, etc. It's an information-based movie.
Thanks!

This is the movie :
http://thebigbenmemorialtrail.ca/Media/MVI_0368-%233-13.MOV
It's not an extension, it's the filename. Sanatize it.
Size = 632MB (Megabyte)
663.8Mbs = Megabits per seconds = speed
Videosize = 1280 x 720px
Filesize after download = 10.3MB (download stops at this size)
Nobody will wait for this.
Resize you movie to something smaller ie. width x height = smaller filesize.
Use common sense.
