Generate AVI files. Convert in AVI from MOV. QUICKTIME PRO??

Hi,
First of all, I'd like to ask you an apology if my problem has been solved in another post, but I couldn't find it.
I have an AVI file and I’d like to add the subs (srt file) My idea was to open the AVI file with a program, to add the file and finally to generate a new AVI file with the subs included.
I had the wrong idea that with Quicktime I could make that, but after several intentions I have realized that I haven’t the Quicktime Pro, what I have is Quicktime X and with this version is not possible to generate an AVI file the way I need.
I have read a few posts about the differences between Quicktime 7 Pro and Quicktime X, and before thinking in buy the Quicktime 7 Pro license, I want to know if it will make what I want.
I also need to convert a MOV file into an AVI file or another smaller which I could share by email. I prefer AVI format because all users (MAC & WINDOWS) can play it.
I am not sure if the Quicktime 7 Pro is the better solution for me. Maybe you know another program which I can get what I need.
Thank you in advance, best regards.

If you are also running the 3ivX codec module and the movie is a DivX AVI, then you you may need to run the file through 3ivX's DivX Doctor II. This utility updates DivX .avi videos to 3ivX QT (.mov) videos. (This assumes other files still play correctly with audio.)

"After the conversion you will be able to play the video smoothly, and the audio glitches inherent in the AVI format will be fixed" -- according to the 3ivX site.

Hello! I used QuickTime for watch any videos on OS X Mountain Lion, but now, I'm passed to OS X Mavericks and QuickTime, when I open an .avi file, convert this in a .mov file. I'm sorry for my English, I'm French and I don't know speak English very well,

Hello! I used QuickTime for watch any videos on OS X Mountain Lion, but now, I'm passed to OS X Mavericks and QuickTime, when I open an .avi file, convert this in a .mov file. I'm sorry for my English, I'm French and I don't know speak English very well, but what can I do for QuickTime opens on .avi and doesn't convert to .mov?

HI GalaxieMusique,
I'm french too, but I'm going to write this post in english so that everyone may understand it
I have the same problem in Mavericks, but I'd say, more important, with QuickLook.
Indeed Quicklook can't read avi movies anymore. Actually it always been the case, but with Perian we were able to fix it. The problem is that Perian is no longer available for Mac OS 10.9....
I'd assume that our only hope is Apple themselves... It would be nice from Apple to creat an add-on for quicklook to be able to preview the avi movies.
In regards with quicktime, you can download QuickTime 7 here:
http://www.01net.com/telecharger/windows/Multimedia/lecteurs_video_dvd/fiches/10 0.html
and ask all the .avi movies to be played by QuickTime 7 and not QuickTime X (included into Mac OS).
Sorry for the english, we french people can make mistakes sometimes
If anyone has a solution for QuickLook, please do not hesitate. This topic is becoming a real mess....

Suddenly Media Encoder won't export to .avi from a Premiere Pro sequence

Came back to work today and out of the blue Media Encoder just won't export to .avi from a Premiere Pro sequence. Working with CS5 on Windows 7. That was the last thing I did yesterday before leaving work and it worked just fine, and it has always worked without any problems ever since I upgraded from CS4.
Here are the steps I always take: go to Export-->Media from the Premiere Pro sequence and the settings open up, I select Microsoft AVI - PAL DV, click the queue button, AME opens up but nothing loads, the queue remains empty and nothing happens.
I tried the same but selected MPEG-2 instead and it works that way.
I also tried opening the sequence directly from AME and it does it but it doesn't give me the option to export it to Microsoft AVI, it's just not on the list.
I deleted all preferences and old metadata options saved from all applications but that didn't help.
Didn't install any updates whatsoever that might have changed anything at all from yesterday till now.
If anyone knows what the problem might be and how to fix it, that will be truly appreciated, thanks in advance.

After a couple of hours going through the registry and every folder and file inside "Program Files--Adobe--Media Encoder CS5" and trying to find the problem, I did.
Thing is, the ExportAVI.prm plug-in file wasn't missing, it was there in the "Plug-ins--common" folder together with every other exporter and importer file, it just wasn't being loaded by AME for some reason. So i found a folder named "txt" and inside it there was a file named "AddExporterList.txt" which I opened and, as you could probably imagine from its pretty self-explanatory name, it contained a list of the exporter files that AME was supposed to load, and the AVI one wasn't on the list.
I wasn't sure wether it was best for me to edit that text file and add the AVI exporter to the list or just delete the damn thing, so i checked on an older PC with the CS4 suite installed in it and the "txt" folder didn't even exist, so I just deleted it and opened up AME again and it loaded every single exporter .prm file including the ExporterAVI.prm of course and it works just fine now, so that's a load off my shoulders, hope this might help someone else in the future.

Why has File-Automate-photomerge disappeared from my MacBook Pro? my MacBook Pro CS4?

Why has File-Automate-photomerge disappeared from my MacBook Pro in CS4 but is still on my iMac?

Many thanks for your reply, I found Photomerge.jsx on the iMac, although I couldn't find a Presets/Scripts folder in the Application folder but a search found 4 copies of Photomerge.jsx.
I made a CD of them and inserted it into the MacBook Pro. I dropped a copy into my Applications folder but when I opened Photoshop CS4 and tried to use it - it wasn't available. I then dropped it into Photoshop and it works but when I close everything down and re-open Photoshop it is not there.
Had to leave the Photomerge.jsx file/folder on the desktop and re drop into photoshop to open to use???
Please help me further.

Converting .AVI files to use in iMovie using Quicktime Pro

Hi, does anyone know if the current version of Quicktime Pro converts .AVI movie clips into a format that can be used and spliced together in iMovie? If so, is both the sound and video maintained to the same quality?
Finally, if the answers to the above are a "yes", is the same true for iMovie 07 and 08?
Many thanks
Andrew

http://perian.org will help QuickTime Pro open nearly any AVI.
You can do basic editing with Pro and then export to DV Stream to use in iMovie 6 or 7.

Is there a way to export .avi files to .mp4 en masse in Quicktime Pro?

Hiya.
What I've been doing for some time now is taking the .avi movie files my Canon camera creates, and exporting them as h264 .mp4 files which cuts the file size by more than half with minimal quality loss. But at this moment, I have almost 100 video files that I would like to do and this process would be much, much, better if I could que them up.
Can you do this in Quicktime Pro and if not, another program?
Thanks!

Hi,
This can also be done with SimpleMovieX.

Note that I'm the developer of this application. It may not be as free as MPEG Streamclip, but at least it's supported.

Best file converter for .mpg to .mov

I am trying to import movies in .mpg format to iMovie 11 which requires a .mov format. I want a free file converter that won't sacrifice the video quality.

If your movies are MPEG1, then MPEG Streamclip will convert them for free.
If your movies are MPEG2, you may also need the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component, which is $20 from Apple. MPEG Streamclip will tell you if you need this.
Drag the MPG file into MPEG Streamclip. Click the play button to ensure that it plays and all is well. Then use FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME and choose a codec for your needs. I recommend Apple Intermediate Codec.
Detailed Instructions....
Get MPEG Streamclip, which is free.
You may also need the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component for $20.
Follow the instructions on the MPEG Streamclip website for installing the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component. Here are those instructions for Mountain Lion and Lion as of 2012-11-05...
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion and Mountain Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion and Mountain Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
To install the component in Lion or Mountain Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b8 betaabove; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component M. Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion or Mountain Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion and Mountain Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion and Mountain Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.
If your security settings will not let you run UTILITY MPEG2 COMPONENT M.LION, then you can override the security by
1. Hold down "control" button
2. Click on the app that is triggering the message about the security preferences
3. Select "open" to override and install/open the application
For more on the security settings see this document.

No Sound when converting MPEG file to MOV - Quicktime Pro

Hi Everyone,
Just got my first Mac (MacBook Pro) which I love but I'm having a problems importing MPEG 4 files from my Sony digital camera. They play fine through quicktime in the sony format but when I import into quicktime (or imovie for that matter) then export in a .mov file all the sound is lost.
I see some people have reported problems with sound similar to mine but none appear to be the same?
Any ideas??
Many Thanks
Wes

MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I am having a similar problem and I see this was never persued any further. I am trying to convert an mpeg file to a mov file using quicktime pro. When I do there is no sound.
Movie info for mov file is: Format is H.264 Decoder, 320 x 240, Millions, FPS is 15, Data Rate is 256.21 kbits/sec.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm new to quicktime and frustrated from spending hours trying to figure this out! Thanks in advance!

Problems converting to flv from mov

Ive got quicktime pro and i try to convert my mov files to an flv file and it works but when i go to play the file at about 70% of the way through the video it will freeze. if i fast forward the video it will continue to play the last 30% but without volume. it does this on all mov files i convert.
i've got another converter on a pc that will convert the mov files to flv with no problems but i want to be able to do it on the mac.

If you have QuickTime 7.2 installed, encoding FLV video will work properly only if the audio track in the source video is encoded at 44kHz. Otherwise, the FLV will stop playing two-thirds of the way through.
If necessary, use QuickTime Pro to re-encode the source video so that its audio track is 44kHz. Then encode into FLV.

.mov files choppy in iMovie. Will Quicktime Pro help?

I use a Panasonic FX01 digital stills camera to take small movie clips sometimes. It creates .mov files that are super smooth when played back in Quicktime.
I'd really like to use them in iMovie. iMovie imports the clips okay, but they play back slightly jerky. Would Quicktime Pro do a better job of converting the .mov files (presumably to dv) than just importing into iMovie?
Or is the jerkiness due to fps?
The camera offers me 30fps at 640x480. It also offers me, in the menu, a PAL output, which I choose. I'm not sure if selecting this makes the camera record at 25fps for PAL.
I've tried opening my iMovie project at 25fps and 29.97fps and the imported .mov is still jerky.
Is there any way to maintain the smoothness of the original .mov files and yet use iMovie to create DVDs that'll play on a PAL system?
Thanks.

Would Quicktime Pro do a better job of converting the .mov files (presumably to dv) than just importing into iMovie?
It shouldn't make any difference for the most part. In purchasing iMovie (iLife) you gained access to the same QT "Pro" routines as when you buy QT Pro and access them through the player. What you do gain is more control over the specific settings which are applied as opposed to the "automatic" conversion by an iMovie import.
Or is the jerkiness due to fps?
Not an epert here, but would tend to believe this contributes to the problem. My recomendation wpuld be to download and try a conversion using MPEG Streamclip here. Believe QT uses a simple "drop frame" algorithm when converting from NTSC to PAL. MPEG Streamclip is has a "blend frame" algorithm option instead which ensures no video data is totally lost. If you step through the converted video, you will, however, note the periodically 2 frames have beeb bended together and, therefore, appear somewhat "fuzzy." Degree of fuzziness, of course, depends on the amount of vector motion displacement between the frames which have been blended. File is also resized to 720 x 576 as part of the operation PAL DV conversion. In any case, you can always give it a try and import the resulting file into iMovie as PAL.

.mov files not showing video while using Quicktime Pro

Hi:
I'm trying to work with some .mov files that were created in DVCPRO HD format, which I understand is a Panasonic format. I've upgraded to Quicktime Pro 7.6.4 as instructed by the individual who created the .mov files. The problem is I get audio, but no video. I've also tried exporting these movie files to DV Stream and I get an error message that reads "qtKitErrorCatchAll(-8961)."
Thanks for viewing this and for any help you can provide.

The file was made by someone using Final Cut Studio?
A white playback means the codec used in the file is missing on the machine trying to view it.
Ask them to send you a version exported using H.264 video codec.

How do I transfer iCal from a Time Machine file that was taken from a MacBook Pro to iMac?

Hello,
I have a Time machine Back up from a MacBook Pro and wish to transfer iCal files to an iMac. I have done a migration from the Time Machiine Back up but how do I get my iCal? I have imported my apple mail mailboxes and moved the MPB Desktop to the iMac Desktop. But where are all my applications and most important my iCal?
Thanks you

Great to hear Tim!

What is the maximum file size I can import to Quicktime Pro 7?

I have some clips that are 2-3 GB in size. Can I import these into Quicktime Pro 7 and edit them? For example cut them in half so each reduced file size half can be opened in other software that has a 2 GB limit?
Also, can I save a Quicktime file as MPEG-4?
Thank you!

If the files are in a format that QuickTime understands then there really isn't a file size limit.
QuickTime Player Pro can export most formats that it can open to MPEG-4 codec formats.

Move QuickTime Pro to New Computer

How do I go about moving my QuickTime Pro 7 to my new computer? I tried downloading the player afresh and putting in my registration key, but it's still coming up as the QuickTime Player, not QuickTime Pro. Kinda funny, since the 'Buy QuickTime Pro' option under the 'Help' menu is now greyed out.
What a pain in the neck!

QTKirk,
Wonder if you might help me with a Quicktime problem on my G5 please.
From the desktop, I click on the Quicktime icon and immediately a
dialog box says "QT unexpectedly quit, blah, blah blah" and when I
click the reopen button it opens to the Quicktime player box.
I have Quicktime Pro/DivX Pro 5.2/WMV and Real Player One.
Thanks, d-i
