How to stitch .m4v files?

How to stitch movie 1 and 2 without re-encoding? If I just stitch them and save, the file will become with a .mov ending, I don't want that.
Of course if I stitch them and choose to export to iPod, it will re-encode, and I end up with .m4v ending file. But isn't that movie encoded twice by then?

Forgot to mention that I am using QT pro. I allways wanted to have .m4v, only because that's what apple sells at apple store. And in the recent past iTunes would not allow album art for .mov files, so I got into this habbit to avoid .mov files. I see now theres no point in that, since iPhone and iTunes fully supports .mov (with album art).

  • How to merge .m4v files with chapters included?

    I am unable to merge two .m4v files in quicktime pro and keep their chapter structure. Is this even possible? I take a lot of time to build chapters into movies I make and I would like to be able to combine some AND keep the chapter structure.
    Here is what I have:
    Movie A: 12 chapters
    Movie B: 10 chapters
    open movie A in quicktime pro
    open movie B in quicktime pro
    copy movie B (command+A, command+C)
    select movie A
    push needs to end of movie A
    paste clipboard (command+V)
    Result:
    Movie A now has it's original 12 chapters and then the added movie B is just one long section added on to the end of Movie A's last chapter.
    Any help would be appreciated. This seems to be an ongoing question on many forums.

    1) is there any way to use your method that give me a final .m4v?
    Well, your questions are certainly getting harder. How a bout no, yes, and maybe.
    a) No, I do not know of a direct approach for simply changing the file container. As you may have noted, QT now checks the Video Track "Sample Description" and if the extension does not match the description, QT sends you a "nastygram" modal message and refuses to open the file.
    b) Yes, it can be done indirectly. In this case I used the SimpleMovieX ($35) from Aero Quartet of Catalonia, Spain. While I tend to use QT Pro and MPEG Streamclip for most day-to-day work, this application does have some unique features to which I resort when needed. One is the "Keyframe" combined indicator/skip option, one is its audio manipulations, and another is the way it handles H.264/AAC MOV file container conversion. (I also do a lot of "track management" work that leaves me in an MOV file when I actually want MP4 or M4V file container features like being able to associate external "artwork" images in iTunes.) In any event, this application does actually go through and correct the descriptors before it copies the appropriate data to the new container making QT ever so happy with the new MP4 container. At this point, if I modify the MP4 Extension to M4V in the Finder, QT then does not issue the modal message and does use iTunes as the default application to open the file.
    c) Maybe the file is considered to be a real M4V file and maybe it is not. I have not, for instance tried to add a "Passthrough" AC3 secondary audio track and check to see if the resulting file will play correctly via TV. So there may yet be some internal distinctions of which I am yet unaware. Other than that, the file does indeed seem to function as any other iTunes file created by direct M4V data compressed export.
    Anyway, this is from the "for whatever it is worth" department and you can invest $35 in the application or try to find another application capable of doing the same thing. MPEG Streamclip, for instance, will not work here but I have not actually looked around for anything else.
    2) if I use the final .MOV that you get at the end of your tutorial, will exporting as "apple tv" or mpeg 4 etc. compress it again?
    Yes, it will. In addition, depending on the application used to perform the export, you may lose the chapter track also.

  • I have created a .m4v file from iPhoto and would like to share it with someone else knowing that the file is quiet large (86 Mo), i used to share file with mobileme, how Can I do that with iCloud ? or another way....

    In iphoto, I have create a diaporama which I exported to itunes as a m4v file. I would like to share this file with someone but it is too big to send it via email (84 Mo). This file is now in my films in itunes. Is there a way to share it via icloud.
    I used to share files using mobileme which I cannot use anymore.
    Thanks for your help,

    How recently did you switch?  If it's less than 60 days, then Verizon simply reinstates your previous account.  The fact that you were on the EDGE plan and mailed the devices back, and they apparently are somewhere in the system, could cause complications, and it might just work out that you just go back on the same plan and they set you up with the same devices.  I'm not sure how it will go - but since you are still being billed for the devices... 

  • How can I convert a Slideshow to an .m4v file?

    I am trying to convert a slideshow, with audio, created with iDVD to a movie file to transfer into iMovie to be able to post on iWeb. How can I convert to an .m4v file?

    You'll have to rip the iDVD disk that you burned with HandBreak or similar app and then import the resulting movie file into iMovie.

  • How do I transfer an m4v file?

    I have 2 computers that are authorized on my iTunes account. I purchased several m4v videos and downloaded them to one computer. I attempted to transfer them to the other computer by burning them to CD and also by using my iPods, neither of which is a video iPod, "as a disk", and I was able to transfer them to the other computer but I only got audio when I played them in iTunes on the second computer, which is also authorized for my account.
    How can I transfer purchased m4v files from one authorized computer to another authorized computer (same account) without a video iPod?
    Thanks in advance.

    If the video played at all, then it was probably successfully transferred. This may help you sort out the playback problem on your second computer:

  • How do I export an M4V file

    I need to export an M4V file for a website.
    or an OGV file
    Why don't I see either?
    I know ipod is M4V (DRM) but its just exporting as an MP4.
    Does anyone know how to do this in Premiere?
    Im on the latest cloud version.
    and have older desktop version ( i think version 6)

    Oh wait
    I see TWO files.
    Please note, I only need video (for a website background)
    no sound
    I exported the video with no sound and got two outputs
    what are they?
    and which one would I use?
    Should I assume to ignore the XMPSES file since this is not for a DVD?
    and just use the M4v file in my WP website?

  • How do I get Adobe Flash to play M4V files?

    I have just downloaded and installed version 9.0.115.0 and I
    can't find it (the program file) in order to "associate" M4V files
    with it. Okay, I thought that it may perhaps have embedded itself
    in Firefox so I tried to play a M4V file (which is on my hard disc)
    using Firefox but to no avail.
    I'm sure there is an embarrassingly simple solution!

    It sounds like you upgraded Flash Player, isn't an
    exectuable file you
    can easily find. It's a plugin or ActiveX control, which
    means it's
    intended to be run inside (to be run by) your browser. In a
    sense, your
    browser is that executable, and Flash Player is a tool the
    browser uses to
    display things.
    > I tried to play a M4V file (which is on my hard disc)

    > Firefox but to no avail.
    Yeah, that makes sense, actually. The updated Flash Player
    doesn't play
    M4V files directly. Instead, it allows Flash programmers to
    display M4V
    files by way of something called the FLVPlayback component,
    or by a
    combination of the Video, NetConnection, and NetStream
    classes. As a media
    player, the Flash plugin still only plays SWF files (normal
    Flash content).
    That Flash content might, in turn, display JPGs, GIFs, PNGs,
    vector art,
    fonts, and now a wider variety of video files, but you can't
    just drag these
    files into Flash Player and see them.

  • How do i tell the finder to open all of my .m4v files to open with quicktim

    How do i tell the finder to open all of my .m4v files to open with quicktime, not itunes. i tryed right clicking on it and choosing other and selecting quicktime then checking the box that says "always open with" but that only pertains to that one file not all of them.

    Right click and choose "get info" then choose quicktime from the "open with" drop down menu.
    Then below that you will see "Change all" click that and your done.

  • Editing / changing images in a m4v file in Motion 5 - how do you do that?

    My boss has given me a m4v file so I can adapt some of the images used. He used Motion 5 which I now have and chose a pre-set template but the 'layers' seem to go on top the video not change / edit the original file?

    No, for sure:
    a  m4v is no Motion-project-file, containing all elements, groups and layers separately.
    It's a 'consolidated', solid video, which indeed  allows only to apply 'on top' changes. (or 'cuts')
    If you want to edit the 'layers', you need the original project.motn file ..

  • How do I transfer m4v file to my iPad from my iMac?

    Good day,
    I'm quite new to the Apple world...
    I would like to know how to transfer m4v movies currently on my iMac to my iPad. Seems like I have no luck through iTune.

    First make sure you've added the movies to iTunes, then follow the other instructions to sync from iTunes to iPad.
    Alternatively, upload the movie to a Shared Photo Stream from your Mac, then access it that way from your iPad.  The resolution will be cut down a bit, but maybe that won't matter to you.

  • How to export HD files and play them on Western Digital HD Media PLayer?

    Hi Folks,
    I'd need your help here. I shoot HD video in AVCHD with Canon HF200.
    My goal is to be able to export my edited footage with minimum quality loss and be able to play it on the well known Western Digital HD Media Player:
    http://www.wdc.com/en/products/Products.asp?DriveID=735
    The player supports the following formats for video:
    Video - AVI (Xvid, AVC, MPEG1/2/4), MPG/MPEG, VOB, MKV (h.264, x.264, AVC, MPEG1/2/4, VC-1), TS/TP/M2T (MPEG1/2/4, AVC, VC-1), MP4/MOV (MPEG4, h.264), M2TS, WMV9
    Here is what I do:
    1. I convert the avchd files into .avi using  Cineform Prospect HD.
    2. Then I import and edit the footage in Adobe Premiere Pro CS3
    3. Finally I export the edited footage using the ' BD-h.264 ' codec in the 'Adobe Media Encoder'
    4. I end up with two files after the export: .M4V file (video) and .WAV file (sound).
    The WD HD Media Player plays 'black' screen while displaying a message 'no audio'.
    I guess the exported file is not fully supported by the WD player,
    Any ideas? How can I combine the two files into one and play it on the WD player?
    Maybe I'm not exporting it correctly?
    Please share your experience and help me out.
    Thanks

    Let me give you an optimum example of my last HD to DVD timing.  The video was shot with two cameras under good lighting conditions and there was very little color correction required and only a few special effects.  The finished video was 39 minutes (1.35 GB).  The AME encoding time on my 8 core (2.33 GHz) with a really fast RAID 0 array was 36 minutes 48 seconds!  If you start adding in a lot of color correction and lots of other effects encoding time does increase significantly. I am convinced that the DVD was of much better quality that had we shot it in SD.  I have had problem shoots (lighting) that required vast amount of color correction etc. that required many hours of MPEG2 DVD encoding.
    Incidentlly I do not export from Premiere (which uses the new copy of the Project on your C:drive), I close Premiere and open AME and use the much faster true project file on my RAID 0 array.
