Grrrrr..... What on earth is going on with the quicktime convert to mp4?

What on earth is going on with MP4 / quicktime?
To convert an avi. file to mp4 is taking as long as it takes to watch the entire movie!
I am converting a movie from avi. over to mp4 using the ($44) upgrade facility on quicktime and it is taking the length of the entire movie to convert it over?
Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance
Cheers
Rob

Rob,
That's about right. It won't be sudden, but it would be nice! Two hours is pretty good. You won't get much faster than that.

  • OMG! ..what on Earth is going on with Version?

    OMG!!! ...I've never experienced anything like this in my 49 yrs dealing with customer service.
    I will try and make this as quick and least painful to read.
    First, I'm a recently returning customer after leaving Verizon for over ten years.
    My wife works from home so I needed the caller ID to reflect her name not mine so she called to have it changed. What Verizon did was cut my services for a full day to transfer the account to her name. Why they had to go this route to simply change the caller ID name is beyond me. Anyway, we got our services back and were happy to put that frustration behind us.
    Little did I know this was just the start of the worst business dealing with a service provider in my life. Apparently there was a small balance of $51.43 left in the old account. I paid that balance in full. However, that balance was transferred to my new account despite it being paid.
    Guess what? ...they cut my services because of that same $51.43. Okay, at this point I'm a little angry but sure that once I point out the billing error this problem would go away. After spending 45 minutes on the phone with billing they told me they transffered the paid balance from the old account to the new account and all should be good.
    Guess what? ...they cut my services again because of the same $51.43. (right in the middle of watching a Verizon rented movie) At this point, I'm beyond a little frustrated . I had to pay the same $51.43 to get my services restored until I could call during business hours. After another 45 minutes on the phone with billing, they refunded my $51.43 and assured me this issue would go away.
    Guess what? ...they add the same $51.43 back on to my bill and start sending me past due notices.
    At this point, I'm ready to through in the towel and switch services. I contacted billing again and asked to speak to a supervisor. After being on hold for 20 minutes, I spoke to a supervisor named Ashley. She was very nasty and did not care two cents about my issues and said I needed to speak to the accounting department. She put me back on hold and when I got to the accounting department she said I had to resolve the issue with the billing department. Are you kidding me???
    When I refused to be transferred back to billing she said that she would have her supervisor contact me. I'm not holding my breath that they will call me back. 
    What am I to do? Will this issue ever go away? How can a service provider be so horrible to deal with, and why can't they fix such a simple error?
    I have recorded every single phone conversation with customer service. If they don't get back with me and resolve this issue once and for all I will be switching services.
    Again ...OMG!!! ...what on Earth is going on with Verison and their customer service? 
    -Manny

  • What on earth is going on with my connection?!

    So, Infinity installed and activated on Tuesday (18/10). OR Engineer informed me I was the first to have infinity installed on the Peterborough Central (01733) exchange so whether this has contributed to the problems I am experiencing and about to enlighten you with I do not know but anyway..........
    Day 1 - Installation went a treat. Engineer arrived at 2pm and was gone within the hour. Took my first BT Speedtester test @ 4pm and results were as follows:
    Date                            Download       IP Profile                   Upload            IP Profile
    18/10/2011 16:00       34025 Kbps     38718 Kbps                 7757 Kbps       10000 Kbps
    Internet was used up to around 11pm without any problems before I called it a night.
    Day 2 - Woke up in the morning, turned on PC, opened IE9 and could not browse any pages. Just a blank screen with the little loading icon spinning in the tab at the top of the page. Thought nothing of it, went to work, came home around 7pm, turned on PC, opened IE9 and same again. Could not browse one single page. Phoned BT India, explained all the lights on my HH3/modem were working as they should and both my PC and Hub manager confirmed I was connected to the Internet. We proceeded to reset IE9, done a factory reset on the HH3, even tried my laptop (both wired and wirelsss) to see whether I could browse any pages but none of this worked. India said they would do further checks that night and call me back by 9.30pm. They never did, I accepted defeat and went to bed.
    Day 3 - Woke up around 4am, decided to try IE9 and heaven above, I was able to browse the internet again! Went back to bed, got up, went to work, came home in the evening, turned on PC, opened IE9 and again all was great!!  BT Speedtester tests taken that day were as follows:

    Day 4 (yesterday) - Turned on PC for first time at around 4:15pm and for the first 3 hours all was great. Then the **** hit the fan again and all of a sudden, whilst pages were loading, they were literally taking minutes. Some simply wouldn't load at all! Phoned India again, was informed I had a fault on my line and an engineer would contact me. BT Speedtester tests taken that day were as follows:

    *Test taken in the midst of all the troubles.
    Day 5 (today) - OR Engineer arrived at around 8.30am without prior notice. He does a line test and all was ok. He had a text message on his mobile that said I should be receiving the full 40mb down / 10mb up. I turned on PC, opened IE9 and surprise surprise all was working as it should again. Because of this, the OR did not conduct any further checks, said 'if it ain't broken don't fix it' and left! All seemed good until 3.30pm when pages were again becoming painfully slow. I again phoned India who said they'll send another engineer out to me in the morning.  Anyhow, this continued until 11.30pm (40 mins ago as I write this) when everything started to work as it should again!?! BT Speedtester tests taken today were as follows (I could not take any other tests in between as the internet was simply too slow to cope):

    So what on earth is going on here?! I know it's not the PC, I don't believe it's the equipment (hardware or software).  It's like someone turns a switch on and off as and when they'd like my broadband to work?! I have practically sat at the PC for 8 straight hours trying to load pages to no avail (or at least taking far too long to load) then suddenly out of nowhere, it starts to work as normal again?!
    If it's working in the morning when the engineer arrives what's he going to do? Absolutely nothing! I don't need to be Einstein to know that come the afternoon it'll go down again!
    Has any of you ever experienced anything like this?  Please say you have and if so how on earth did you rectify it (assuming you have)?!
    Any advice/help would be gratefully received.
    Many thanks.

    You won't get to ride the racehorse...until you've ridden the mule.... - RogerB 13/04/2010

    Really pleased to hear that mate, even if it isn't really the outcome you wanted.
    Of course it could well be either the HH3, hub or both. Personally, I don't think it is as like I mentioned in my opening post, it's like somebody switches a button on and off as and when they want me to use broadband. Take yesterday for example, from 8.30am-3.30pm the internet was working perfectly. From 3.30pm-11.30pm, I struggled to do any browsing as pages were that slow. From 11.30pm onwards and as I write this at 7.30am, it's working perfectly again.  And I bet you now at some stage this afternoon, it will practically come to a complete standstill again.
    Engineer arriving between 8am-1pm but if it all looks good, what can he do?! I need them to be here when it's not working properly. Given I'm in the 10 day training period, I've tried to use the internet as much as possible as suggested. Perhaps in my case this is having a reverse effect and slowing me down or throttling me instead?!  It has to be something between the exchange and cabinet or a fault at both as the only things that have changed my end are 1. The face plate to the master socket, 2. the HH3, 3. the modem and 4. the cables attached to both and given one minute my broadbans is fine and the next it practically stalls, I think the issue rules out any hardware/software fault.
    But maybe chasing this equipment is worth a try?

  • What on earth is going on with my beat mapping (7.1.1)!?!?!?!

    Dear all,
    I have used beatmapping before with no problems. I have just upgraded to OSX.4 and not it isn't working...
    I have some drums that I have had to chop up and things. So, I start the beatmapping with the hihat as it's being used as a count-in for the song which is to stay in the mix. I get the mapping right and then move on to the next region...
    I get all of the hihats done for the intro, play back with the metronome to make sure everything's hunky dory, and something has happened. My regions are no longer in line with eachother, and indeed some have ben copied!
    Has anyone else experienced this problem? I have also run in to a bug - whenever I try and move tracks around on the arrange (I want to put the hats on to whilst mapping them so I can see all the transients as well as what Logic is telling me), and Logic crashes...
    Grr. Is this 10.4.3, or is this just wierdness?
    Any help would be much appreciated,
    Cheers, Fred

    Don't shoot the messenger. I am just making a recommendation.
    You can be ticked off all you want, that's your perogative. But whether you paid for the iPad or it was a gift, if you don't want to own a useless brick of a device, you might want to give restoring the iOS software a try.

  • What on earth is going on with iTunes Match as of late?

    For the past 30 days or so i have had one nightmare after another with match. Taking hours for uploads, tracks not matching, now today i cant even log into the service without getting the "we could not complete your itunes store request" error. Is there something behind the scenes going on we don't know about?

    Me too. iTunes Radio was working fine earlier today, but, stopped working about an hour ago. Now I get the "could not complete your request" error message. Streaming music from the cloud is also very erratic, the music stutters a lot.

  • What is going on with the DNS servers?

    I've been having intermittent connection problems with "DNS Server Not Responding" identified as the error by Win 7 troubleshooting for a little while now.
    This has been sporadic for a couple of months and usually resolves itself after a short time, but in the last few days I've barely been able to access the internet at all, with the exception of a handful of websites and today it came to a head and I could only access a couple of websites for most of the day.
    Thankfully I finally managed to find a website that I could access to remind myself of the addresses for the free google DNS servers and am now back online.
    Just wanted to stop by to report the issue and ask What on earth is going on with BTs DNS servers? 

    Hi Epona222,
    Thanks for posting. There are no reports of any specific issues with DNS servers but I can check your connection etc for you if you wish. Drop me an email with the details. You'll find the "contact us" form in the about me section of my profile.

  • I repeatedly have problems loading https sites, e.g., bank, credit cards, etc. that I have used for ever. Anyone know what on earth is going on? It wont even load the proper images or allow the links to work. I've tried everything you suggest but no luck

    I have a Mac OS X 10.4.11 Power PC running Firefox 3.6.11, and every time I try to access a secure site that I have accessed many, many times before and even TaxAct last year, the images do not load nor do the links on the page work. The bank and credit card pages constantly come up with the "Security" issue, & even when I try to "accept" the exception it will not allow me to even though everything in the "details" section is fine. I have no idea what on earth is going on, I have literally tried everything you have suggested without any success. I don't know what else to do. Can anyone please help me?

    This is the last paragraph from my very first response to you, post #1 in this thread:

    I've noticed this too...when I'm in Safari, scrolling is a bit jerky and sometimes it stops even though I'm still scrolling...my fingers go right off the trackpad.  I just downloaded the new updates onto my brand new macbook air- had to do it manually as "power nap" doesn't work, even after the SMC reset.  Lamesauce.

    No they do not and no it is not affecting a large portion of the user community.
    If it is an actual hardware issue, the only fix is to repair or replace the hardware.
    If it is a software issue, restoring as new will fix it.

  • What is going on with the SPAM filtering?

    Spoiler (Highlight to read)
    What is going on with the SPAM filtering?  Works fine for a couple of weeks then suddenly I got slammed with tons of SPAM for a few hours then suddenly the filtering kicks in again.  Usually happens late at night and clears up in the morning.  Never had this problem until just a couple months ago.  It's gotten so bad that I'm about to move everything over to gmail and just stop using Verizon, would rather not do that as I've had the same e-mail address since the Bell Atlantic days.

    What is going on with the quick keys in CC? Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop? The delete key only works when it wants to as well?

  • WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE LASTEST MAY UPDATE??

    WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE LATEST UPDATE??  Ever since the May update for the Samsung Note 3 I've been having issues with my phone!  Battery charge does not hold, it charges slow and then drains VERY fast.  I can't even make it through the day without charging. Today it went from 100% to 37% in a few hours just sitting on my desk!  Also, having camera issues,  I snap a picture and it takes so long to process that it doesn't take the picture I was aiming at but a blurred image of the area around my focal point!  Also, since the update I keep getting the message "touch wiz has stopped" when I press the navi key.  Are this issues being corrected?  Is Samsung or Verizon fixing these issues.  When will the next update come out?  The only suggestion I'm hearing is to reset the phone, but I'd lose settings, apps, etc. That is NOT a solution!!  I'm very frustrated, and angry.  This phone is way too expensive to have to deal with these issues!
