Help unlocking a locked or unsaveable quicktime movie

Hi, I'm working a website for a client, and they want me to download a quicktime movie from their parent company. The quicktime seems to be locked or unsaveable, I can't right click on the file or do a save as or anything like I can normally do with my Quicktime Pro.
Is there a way around this? Is there any third party software that will capture the movie?
Thanks,
Brown.Recluse

  • Help with converting WMV files to quicktime movies for video ipod.

    Is there a way to convert my movies that play with the windows media player to a movie file that Quicktime Pro can use to export to my video ipod?
    I am running windows xp, can anyone help??

    File size is dicated by the bitrate of the file. From my review of (thousands) of WMV files there appears to be some compression in the WMV format that is not reapplied when save as to a MOV container is performed. You can see in get info the WMV file say 100MB has maybe 125-150MB of data when it is fully loaded in Quicktime.
    Thus save as does not apply the WMV compression the same as native WMV is all I can assume and the new QT file (MOV container) is bigger than the source file is.
    Exporting to any new QT format (say H264) is going to make a file that is dependent on the new QT bitrate you select but if it is higher than the bitrate shown in the Get Info Inspector box when the original WMV has been opened it will be bigger without a doubt. So if you have a 3Mb/sec WMV file that you export to 700 kb/sec for iPod basic it should be 1/4 of the size. Use 5Mb/sec fo Apple TV it should be 2/3 larger.
    I rarely use QT Pro to export and when I do I don't use default settings. I prefer MPEG Streamclip which offers easier control of variables, batch file processing, deinterlacing and other things and it is free.

  • Please Help - Uploading Edited Versions Of My QuickTime Movies

    Even though I saved my edited movie as a "self contained move" in QuickTime, when I upload it to FaceBook, it reverts to the unedited version. Why? I saved the changes when I edited and then saved it as a self contained movie.
    Can anyone help me with this?

    Hi Pam0,
    Let me sum up your issue: In Organizer (read EO) you have some images in your catalog and you were signed into Revel. You edited your images (either in EO/Editor/External editor) and the edited files were shown in Organizer. Both edited and original files are on Revel. Now you want to download some/all edited or original or both images. Am I correct in this assumption?
    Can you please provide info on following items?
    - You uploaded images from EO, which implies that these files are present on your HDD. Why you need to download them?
    - How are you trying to download?
    Open EO, right click a Revel image which you want to download. Right click it and say 'Download Original'. If it works for single image then can do the same for multiple images too. Please let me know if it doesn't resolve your issue,
    ~Surendra

  • How to Import from  Web Page or QuickTime movie

    Help! I accepted what I though was an easy assignment to make a DVD of a web page clip
    so my sister-in-law can show it as part of the Veteran's Day program at her school. The
    clip is
    http://home.comcast.net/~carmat/scene4.swf
    A friend got it into QuickTime movie format for me but she wants it on a DVD
    so it can be played over the projection system that plays normal DVD movies.
    I tried using Toast and it burned a nice coster that plays a slide show with no audio.
    I could use some help on how to import a QuickTime move into something that
    will burn it to a DVD.
    Any help will be appreciated. Anybody need some DVD coasters?

    .. that is a very tricky file..
    ctrl-click on your link, choose from context-menu 'download file'.. got a 5.8MB scene4.swf file..
    opened that with QTpro + perian.org plug-in.. plays..
    'Export/dv' generates an audio-less file ...
    2nd try:
    using VisualHub, set output to dv.. boom!.. aborts.
    3rd try:
    using VisualHub, set output to h264 - audio only file ( ?? )
    but, now I have an audio-less dv + and a video-less h264.. so, I simply copy/add trimmed the audio from h264 to the dv file in QTpro.. tadaahhh , done.
    note:
    I mostly doubt, that all pics in this 'show' are free for use, and not © protected..
    for sure, the music has some © ...
    and: as the credits tell you, the whole swf claims a © ..
    be nice to copy rights ..
    //no politics allowed on this board, but OMG!.. when we Germans produced such movies, that is >60y ago .. //

  • INSANELY SUPER SLOW conversion times for MP4 to Quicktime Movie..HELP!!!!!!

    Hi folks...
    I am frustrated.
    I am a student in a Film Editing class.
    I have an assignment where I have to take a classic film and create a movie trailer for it using the original film and editing in FinalCut Pro.
    I started off by using Handbrake to change the original DVD of the film into an MPEG-4. This took about 3 hours, which was long....but Handbrake did a very good job and the conversion was completed.
    So, I have a high quality MPEG-4 of the movie.
    However, as many people know, you cannot import an MPEG-4 file into FinalCut.
    You have to first convert the MPEG-4 to a Quicktime Movie (a.k.a. "mov file")
    HERE IS WHERE THE PROBLEM HAS STARTED
    I have been trying for almost two weeks to convert one movie- the 1979 movie "Alien"- over from MPEG-4 to Quicktime.mov, as I keep running into problems.
    Right now, at home, my computer (a PowerMac G4) is converting the file using MPEG Streamclips...
    At the current rate it is going (I timed it and used a calculator)...it will take approximately 80 HOURS (!!!!) for MPEG Streamclips to convert this film from MPEG-4 to Quicktime MOV.
    I literally started the conversion at 8 o clock last night. I went to sleep. This morning I was getting ready to go to my job. The file was still only 10% COMPLETE...(THIS IS INSANE)...
    I got upset with this, as my professor in the editing class says he may dock me points for a late assignment.
    So, I PURCHASED Quicktime Pro for Windows.
    I have downloaded it onto this PC I am using.
    In almost 2 hours, it has only gone from "8% completed" to "9% completed"... there is no way this will be done in any less than 48 hours. NOTE- I am not using a 3rd party, free, unpredictable sortware...I am using the official Quicktime 7 PRO that I bought straight from APPLE....and it is THIS SLOW.
    This is absolutely crazy. IS THIS NORMAL? People running their computers 24 hours a day for 3 to 4 DAYS to convert a film from MPEG-4 to Quicktime Movie?
    What can I possibly do to make this go faster? I was afraid I was going to crash this PC (the fan has been running loudly on high non-stop since I started this...I know this will take more than 8 hours at this rate, so I shut it off)
    What are tips/shortcuts that anyone can give to help with this.
    I dont think I should have to go to the United States Government to the Pentagon (or to Steve Jobs's house!) to get a computer with enough RAM and computing power to change an MP4 to a Quicktime movie.
    I have even used the newest and most powerful G5 computers here at the university, running OS 10.5 with Quicktime Pro as the converter....and still seen extremely slow conversions (as in, it will take 48 hours of continuous computing to complete this)
    Is this normal? Does everyone actually do this when they need to convert a film?
    Or, are there shortcuts, slight drops in quality, or special shortcuts I can take?? What do KNOWEDGEABLE people do to convert an MPEG-4 file to a Quicktime Movie?
    3-4 hours is long, but reasonable.... 80 HOURS IS INSANE......
    .....Please HELP out a struggling film student!!! Thanks and God Bless

    I restarted the conversion, only this time I am seeking to convert the MEPG-4 over to "Apple DV/DVC PRO- NTSC format"
    An instructor here at the school gave that as a suggestion...
    Now, at the current rate of THIS conversion, it will STILL TAKE about 40 hours of continuous processing to convert this film. THe computer will need to run 24 hours a day for almost 2 days to convert this.
    The instructor told me he thinks the ludicrous time frames needed have something to do with the fact that I am converting this film from MPEG-4. He thinks that this could be what is causing it to be this slow.
    I am just not used to this type of thing....I have never used a computer to do ANYTHING that takes 40 to 80 hours to complete.
    I think that director Ridley Scott likely filmed the actual movie itself much faster than this conversion is taking (!!!)

  • HELP?!  Quicktime movie rendered  won't play?

    I made a movie in After Effects and rendered it as a quicktime movie with Soren (Soerenson?) compression type. It played on my computer and some friends' both PC and MAC computers. Now I am out of town and trying to play it on a PC that was Quicktime version 7.1.3 installed. the music plays, but the movie is all scrambled with green and blue nonsense, you can't see anything in the movie. WHy would this be? HELP PLEASE!!

    Thank you so much, that worked perfectly! Now can you explain to me what that did? Do I need to switch it back for them? So that I know in the future.

  • HT3775 my mac wont play a quicktime movie file, it keeps saying i need a codec and then bringing me to this page. there is no links on where to get this codec? help!!!

    I try play this quicktime movie file and then it says i do not have the required codec and the only thing i can press is "ok" or "tell me more" and then it just brings me to this page, it says nothing about how to obtain this certain codec. I need this to work on my macbook! Its not the video file because it works perfectly fine on the iMacs at University. Help me out, please!

    Quicktime has it's limitations and can't, natively, play certain video formats.
    Try VLC.  It should be able to play anything you throw at it.

  • Help playing my quicktime movie on keynote

    I have a movie on quicktime. It plays perfectly fine when played through quicktime.
    I am making a presentation using keynote. I want to make one of my slides that movie. So I do exactly as I have been reading. Ok, so the movie is now on the slide, but all I see are the little white squares around it, no actual movie. Those same white squares that you get when your trying to move or select an item for edit. Anyways, I say well maybe it will play when I play my slide show. Still no movie. Sometimes I get a blank page when I get to the slide with the movie. Other times I get the actual control panal to play the movie, but yet not movie is playing regardless of how many times I rewind, and play etc.
    Can keynote play quicktime movies? If so what is the format they have to be in. The format of the movie in quick time is
    Apple Animation, 983 x 552, Millions+
    Please help, I really need this movie for my presentation.

    In the Inspector section find the Transitions controls. For that slide, select the delay time for the same length of time of the clip.
    Not sure if that will solve it but it's worth a try. That's how I got my QT clip to play.
    Good luck.

  • Can't open quicktime movie that I exported from FCP 5. Help!

    Can't open quicktime movie that I exported from FCP 5. Help!

    What arrow?
    Have you tried opening the file in FCP?
    If there is no error message and it will not play in QT7, it is quite possible the file is corrupted. You will need to go back to the original project and re-export the file.

  • FCP7 HELP - Exported quicktime mov plays differently than what I edited on the timeline. The playback shows the clips with ins and outs that are different than what I set in the clips when I edited - some are too early and the clips don't playback

    Please help ASAP.
    Specs: IOS 10.6.8
    Processor 2.4GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 -- Everything is edited, sourced, and stored on an 2TB external hard drive to make things go faster.
    Editing with FCP 7
    When I export the sequence I edited with quicktime, the playback video is very different from what I edited on the timeline. The playback has the clips with ins and outs that are way off than what I cut, and some of the clips don't show at all or have changed transitions. However when I play in the timeline in FCP, the sequence is fine, just the way I cut it.
    The source of the clips was one long .mov that I cut into clips for the timeline. Everything has gone smoothly but the exported .mov is just so different.
    How can I get the time codes of the clips to be the same in the exported .movs? I just want the quicktime .mov to represent my edit exactly.
    This video is due tomorrow - if the solution is too time consuming, can I play within the FCP player window and Log and Capture?
    Thanks,
    MV

    What is your source material? Is it H.264? FCP does not work correctly with that material.
    Click on a source clip in the FCP Browser, and once selected, type Command + 9 to see the item properties for the clip. Either report those properties, or take a screen shot of the item properties, and post that here.
    Next, click anywhere in your timeline, and then type Command + 0 {zero} to see your Sequence Settings. Either report those Sequence Settings, or take a screen shot of the Sequence Settings and post that here.

  • No transparency in my Quicktime movies in AE CS3 -- help

    I'm rendering a set of animated captions on a transparent background. I need to drop them over existing video, so I need to maintain their transparency. I am, rendering them as QT movies, as animation, RGB+Alpha, millions + colors, straight: Unmultiplied. I can render a png sequence and hold the transparency, but I cannot get a quicktime movie to stay transparent. I get a black background. Can the Avid import the Quick time and key out the black? Am I doing something wrong. Importing the PNG sequence takes forever -- I have to ftp it across town and it toook an hour just to load onto the ftp site! Is rendering out to PNG sequences my only option. Why am I unable to get a transparent qt movie? ARGGGHHH!! I read on here that re-loading Quicktime might help? Has that worked for anyone? Is that the trouble? Anyone? Help?

    Well, what's the settings in the Avid? By default it will invert the Alpha, you may need to invert it in the Alpha key's settings by ways of the effect editor. Also make sure to choose the Alpha in the first place. If it's not been selected on import in the options, it will never appear once the system has converted the clip.

  • HELP. Quicktime Movies from FCP with DVCPro = Black Boxes across image.

    When exporting my HD movie from Final Cut Pro (5) using either Quicktime Movie or Quicktime COnversion with the footage's native setting of DVCPro HD 720p the resulting movie has thick black rectangles on the left and right sides and one right in the middle.
    Is it a codec issue?
    Please help.

    It is a 16X9 CROP, not some sort of anamorphic distortion... so just choose that, and export...
    If you set it to be 320X180 THAT will distort it. It should start as 320X240. The crop then results in 320X180. If it's new software it's Compressor 3.
