How do I load quicktime movies made in Quicktime 7 to iMovie11?

I have made several movies using an older version of iMovie and burned them to dvd using iDvD. Most are stills made into a movie.  When i want to play the  movie, i click on Quicktime Player,  the Player switches me to QuickTime 7 (i have the Pro version) then it plays fine.  I would to move this movie to iTunes and use AppleTV to watch it.
Neither iMovie 11 or iTunes witl open it. Quicktime 7 will not export it.  Any suggestions?

When iDVD authors your DVD it recompresses the iMovie edited audio and video data to MPEG-2 video and PCM audio compressed data which is then multiplexed together as blocks of video data interspersed with blocks of audio data in a single data stream to provide spatial synchronization of the audio and video data during playback. This data is then placed in one or more VOB file containers representing your movie for use by DVD media players. If you try to play this content in QT X under Snow Leopard, the player will refuse to play the file because "muxed" MPEG-2 content is not natively supported under this OS. On the other hand, MPEG-2 video support was added to the QT X v10.1 player. Normally, if you do not have the QT MPEG-2 Playback Component installed on your system, Lion's QT X v10.1 player will also refuse to play "muxed" MPEG-2 content in a VOB or MOV file container and nothing further would happen. However, if you have the QT MPEG-2 Playback Component and the QT 7 v7.6.6 Player installed, then the content can be transferred to the QT 7 Player which does support certain "muxed" MPEG-2 content formats in VOB or MOV (also MPG and MPEG) file containers but not in a TS file container which QT X v10.1 also supports (along with MPG and MPEG file containers).
I would to move this movie to iTunes and use AppleTV to watch it... Neither iMovie 11 or iTunes witl open it. Quicktime 7 will not export it.  Any suggestions?
Basically, DVD authored content is not "natively" compatible with the QT embedded structure unless additional support is added toyour system or the file container is modified. That is why Apple includes a DVD Player specific app with you system sofware so you can play such "authored" content. Further, unless you can fool iMovie into thinking your "muxed" MPEG-2 content (normally multiplexed MPEG-2/AC3 compressed data) is located on a camcorder device, the iMovie will refuse to access the special iMovie import software component which converts "muxed" MPEG-2/AC3 data to all I-Frame MPEG-2 elementary video stream and converts the AC3 audio data to an elementary AIFF (Linear PCM) audio stream and places both in an MOV file container with "in" and/or "out" timing offsets to reduce possible loss of synchronization in a temporal synchronization file environment. In other words, "muxed" MPEG-2 (GOP) spatial sync content is not edit compatible with QT's current iMovie temporal synchronization environment and therefore, iMovie will refuse to import/copy the content to iMovie for editing purposes.
The normal method of for manually converting DVD authored content for re-editing in iMovie is to convert the VIDEO_TS folder data or the VOB title set to an iMovie edit compatible compression format. For instance, the VIDEO-TS folder content can be converted by HandBrake to H.264/AAC files which are edit compatible with current versions of iMovie. However, since you appear to have the QT MPEG-2 Playback Component installed, MPEG Streamclip may be a better choice since it allows you to convert to any QT edit compatible compression format supported by your system codec component configuration, as well as, supporting AC3 content if included in the VOB if authored using other third-party apps. I normally use AIC/Uncompressed or HiRes Pro 422/Uncompressed intermediate editing formats here. The object being to create a low-compression, hight-quality intermediate file for editing so as to prevent further loss of visual quality when editing the content. This work flow does, however, tend to create very large editing files and so many users may elect to use a smaller H.264/AAC intermediate file for editing and simply "live with" possible reduction in final visual quality.

    I edit movies onMac OS X using Final Cut Express and down load to desk top in .mov format. How do I load finished movie to i pad 2? i tunes will not transfer it. Thanks, stevefromnorthfreo

    Try outputting it as a MP4 or M4V
    If Final Cut won't output it, Mpegstreamclip will convert it. So will Quicktime if you have the pro version.

  • How do I load DVD movies to be watched from my MAC

    I'm taking a trip where I'll be away from internet access. I want to load DVDs I've purchased on my MACbook pro so I don't have to take the DVDs with me. I thought it would work like music I've purchased on CDs using iTunes but this doesn't work. Anyone out there know how I can do this?

    I guess copyright laws will prevent me from doing this. I am unable to copy the DVD to my desktop as I don't have permission to access some of the files. Darned inconvenient considering... Thanks for your effort.

  • How do I load Quicktime 7.7 on my imac running MAC OSX 10.6.8? I bought and downloaded, but when I try to install it says I cannot instal on macintosh HD

    I just bought and downloaded quicktime Pro for it's exporting capabilities. When I tried to install it on my imac it said it couldn't because QT 10 already exists on computer. When I dumped quicktime 10 in the trash and restarted computer, I still am unable to install.

    You can't install that version on Snow Leopard. Look here instead:

  • How do I save a movie from iMovie 10.0.2 for iDVD

    How do i save an movie made with iMovie 10.0.4 such that I can open it in iDVD? 
    I don't want any of the options to upload, I still have iDVD but can't get it from iMovie 11 (I guess it is?)
    to iDVD.
    Do I Share to File (whatever that is.)?
    Thanks,
    Hal

    Hi,
    See if the old version of iMovie is still in your Applications folder.  I re-activated mine.  Evidently, in their infinite wisdom Apple decided that they want to force their followers into the Cloud and that DVD operations are yesterday.  Frankly, I think it very presumptuous of them to make that decision for us.   I intend to lodge an official complaint.

  • Load a Movie into a Loaded Movie?

    Okay, so I've got movie1. I loaded movie2 into movie1 using
    loadMovie. That works fine.
    I loaded movie3 into movie2, also using loadMovie. That works
    fine when I preview movie2, but when I preview movie1, movie3
    doesn't load.
    How can I load a movie into a loaded movie? I don't want to
    replace the movie, I want to load into it.
    They're all in the same folder.
    I'm using a movie clip placement marker instead of levels.
    Help!!!

  • Load a movie at  interval

    how do i load a movie after a certain amount of time. and
    again how can i decrease the size and alpha of a movie while moving
    it out of the stage.

    You can use setInterval to callback a function to load a
    movie after a certain amt of time, and if you load the movie on
    another mc, you can always change it's _xscale, _yscale, _width,
    _height properties to alter it's size, and _alpha for well, the
    alpha of the movie while moving it out.

  • How can I get a movie that I created in IDVD to load in ITunes and stream to Apple TV?

    How can I get a movie that I created in IDVD to load in ITunes and stream to Apple TV?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't, but you have a few alternatives.
    Best option: If you made the movie on the DVD in iMovie (or even another editing application) and still have the project, go back to the project and export it for Apple TV (using the Apple TV preset)
    Next best option: If you still have the original movie that you put on the DVD, open it in QuickTime and export it for Apple TV (using the Apple TV preset)
    Worst option: Use something like Mpegstreamclip (Quicktime Mpeg2 playback component required) to convert the DVD to h264.

  • How do i get a movie i made on imovie to play after i put it on a flash drive

    i made a movie on imovie put it on a flash drive and tried to play it on another mac but it wasnt playing. then i went back to the mac i originally made it on and it wont even play there.

    Need some more information please.
    Just how did you place your movie on a flash drive?
    Did you export your project via the Share menu?
    The way to do what you want is to Share > Export Movie.. or Share > Export using QuickTime.
    That will render your movie project and make it playable in any QuickTime enabled computer.
