HT3775 converting mpg to mov

how can i convert movies with mpg formats to .mov without affecting my video resolution? my imovie projects look tremendously blurry!!

To convert .mpg to .mov, you should take assistance of video converting tool. I've used Video Converter which allows to customize video resolution. Maybe you can have a try. Anyway it is said that VLC player can play almost any file type. Sounds good. You might as well give a try too.

    What is a good way to convert .mpg files to readable files for fcpx
    I'm new to apple and this community so if anyone could point me towards other discussions that have addressed this topic would be appreciated.

    I'd like to point out how SOME mpeg files work STRAIGHT into FCPX. I've ingested / transcoded mpeg files in the past, and FCPX bit into them just fine.
    mpeg4 from my GoPro go in without missing a beat.
    Of course, it depends on the wrapper, as well. One of the biggest differences I've noticed between 7 and "X" is that the latter can handle many more file types... almost anything you can throw at it. I had to use Streamclip much more often with the legacy FCP.

    How do I convert MPEG to MOV?

    Hi, very easy to convert MPEG to MOV if you use the proper video converting software. I've tried a lot of converting products and Video Converter is the one I am still using. Maybe you can have a try too. Just for your information. Gool luck.

  • Convert MPG slideshow/movie to work in QT Pro

    Hi, I received a slideshow/movie from a friend who created it on a PC using Windows XP in MPG format. QT will not play it. (I can not open it in iPhoto or iMovie either). I get an error when I try to open it. Is there a way to convert that MPG to a format that QT can read? Thanks!

    QT will not play it.QT is playback compatible with "standard" MPEG-1 (MPG) files. However, the MPG extension may also be used for MPEG-2 files which are not natively supported by QT. Try playing the file in a third-party player like VLC. If it opens/plays, then you can check the specific compression format. If the file is MPEG-2, then the QT MPEG-2 component should allow you to watch the video but may not support the audio.
    Is there a way to convert that MPG to a format that QT can read?Free applications like iSquint, FFmpegX or MPEG Streamclip will allow you convert normal MPEG-1/MPEG-2 files to QT compatible files. (NOTE: MPEG Streamclip requires the QT MPEG-2 component be installed for convesion of MPEG-2 files to QT compatible files.)

  • Convert mpg to mov or wav

    I'm new to FCE, so don't scorn me for a very basic question. My camcorder records in mpg and I need to convert to mov or wav. What is the best and preferably free way to do this. I downloaded mpegstreamclip but can't get it to work. I'm sure I'm not doing something very basic. Help, please.

    Can I ask where on the streamslip website the download can be found? I am going mad trying to play mpg files on my mac. Files previous downloaded on my PC cannot be played at all and those download from my Sony video camera to my Mac can be seen but not heard. Completely bizarre

  • Converting .mpg and .mov to .avi

    I am on OS X 10.4.5 and Quicktime 7.0.4
    I am trying to convert .mov and .mpg to .avi files. This is so that I can insert these files into a powerpoint presentation and they will run better. I downloaded iSquint but that only seems to help me convert video files to mpg4.
    Any advice on how to save as an avi?

    I think .avi is a container, not a format. You can try with flip4mac and create windows media files (if you can't create any other format powerpoint accepts).On the other hand, if you have iWork-I think Keynote can be viewed from powerpoint.

  • Mpg to Mov Files without sound

    I REALLY need to convert mpg files to mov files cause I need to use then with iMovie and FCP. But when I convert mpg to mov, the files are without sound. I'm using Quick Time 7. Are there anyone to indicate a solution or another converter app? I need mov files WITH sound.

    I REALLY need to convert mpg files to mov files cause I need to use then with iMovie and FCP.
    MOV is a file container. It can contain an valid combination of audio, video, text, 'Tween, Chapter, etc. data. What compression format do you want to edit in natively with iMovie or FCP?
    But when I convert mpg to mov, the files are without sound.
    The MPG file container normally contains audio and video data multiplexed as interspersed blocks of data in a single stream to provide spatial synchronization of audio and video. QT is based on parallel tracks of audio and video synchronized temporally. Since QT can only demultiplex and convert one track of data, it is programed to convert the video and leaves the audio out of the new file. As was previously indicated, if you wish to retain audio, you will have to use an MPEG based application. MPEG Streamclip is free and considered by most QT users to be both reliable and a standard by which other such apps are judged.
    When I use that I got a file just with sound and no image. What I supposed to do?
    Once again we return to the primary question of what compression format you want to edit in natively in iMovie or FCP. Most people choose DV/DV or AIC/Uncompressed but other options include Photo JPEG, Motion JPEG, MPEG-4, or H.264 with any edit compatible audio compression format. As an FCP, pro codecs are also available depending on your specific needs or wants. The compression codecs you wish to use will, in the end, determine which MPEG Streamclip conversion option you select and what settings are available.

  • Convert Flash file to .mpg or .mov?

    Hi, I'm just learning Flash on my Macbook and have been
    having a great time making my first 3-minute animation (using
    mostly frame-by-frame redraws with a few motion tweens and
    alpha-fade symbols in background layers). The sound layer is a .wav
    file recording of a 5-verse song, and I was able to copy-frames and
    paste a lot for the main animation layers because many of the main
    actions repeated with each verse. I recruited musician friends to
    sing for the soundtrack and everyone was very excited for the final
    result. The thing is, the project is a current-events response and
    the idea was to post it to YouTube so that all our friends and
    family could see it and forward it before the election -- wait too
    long and it won't be that funny anymore because it won't be
    relevant.
    However, when I finished it all and had it playing perfectly
    in my .swf files, I went to export it and ran into two problems:
    1. First, Youtube requires uploads to be in either .avi,
    .wmp, .mpg, or .mov format. In the "Export movie..." dialogue box,
    Quicktime format is the only option given that would produce one of
    Youtube's required formats, the .mov file. But when that export was
    complete, I viewed the movie in the Quicktime player and found that
    the audio and the visual were completely out of synch. That was the
    first problem.
    2. Desperate, I gave up on my master final file and resigned
    myself to using an earlier saved version of the .fla that did
    produce a synchronized .mov file. But when I uploaded that to
    YouTube, the result was visual torture. Instead of a video, what
    played was a slide show -- while the sound played at normal speed,
    the animation was only stills: one image would fill the window and
    freeze, and then another would replace it a bit later, and so on,
    skipping the 50 to 100 frames between each frame that did appear.
    No singing rabbits, no grinning governors...
    I don't know if the problem is something to do with adjusting
    frame rates, or if it's about finding the right converter, but if
    anyone can help, I'd be very grateful! A friend was able to put the
    .swf file up on his website temporarily, so if it's helpful you may
    be able to see it at
    http://cremonea.net/images/flash/mcpalin.swf
    Thanks,
    Gillian

    I got a great reply to the conversion question when I asked
    it again a couple of days later. The answer is

  • MPG to MOV Converting

    Does Final Cut have a way to convert MPG clips to MOV clips? I have a couple hundred video clips I'm trying to import to FCP but it doesn't work because they're MPG. If not, is there a free converter anywhere on the web? Thanks.

    Exporting using QuickTime Movie is the best bet. You do not need to check "Recompress all frames", but you must check "Make Movie Self-Contained". This will create a .mov file in the same codec as you were editing in. That is what you would archive is you had abosolutely no interest in ever editing that video again.
    If you want to be able to edit that video from archives then this is what you should do;
    Save your tapes! Save your project file (and any miscellaneous graphic files, music files, etc that you imported into the project). If you properly Logged and Captured all of your footage from your tapes, you will be able to re-open your project and re-capture all your footage. The best way to archive.

    Import unsupported MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 to Final Cut Pro 7/X, Final Cut Express 
    Summary:If you are looking for the best way to transcode MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 videos to ProRes MOV for FCP 7/X and FCE, you can follow this post, it has offered best solutions for editing MPEG videos on Mac in Final Cut Pro 7/X, Final Cut Express. 
    Cases: 
    The following are two problems when some users import MPEG-1/MPEG-2 to Final Cut: 
    "I am trying to import MPEG-2 files into Final Cut Pro X. I have the raw files from a Sony Handicam HDR-SR5 as well as raw files from an Sony Handicam MDR-CX560. These files were recorded as MPEG-2 files and copied from the camera hard drives (entire folders were copied containind the MPEG-2 fies) to a local hard drive on my computer. Final Cut Pro X does not recognize the files and will not import them. I have tried to use Compressor to conver the fies. I am using the very latest version that touts being able to export to Final Cut X format. I don't see that option anywhere in the settings." 
    Question: 
    Is there a way to get MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 files into Final Cut Pro X without having to convert them? 
    Answer: 
    Don't try to work with (highly compressed) MPEG 2 in FCP X. Use software to convert to ProRes 422 first, it's best codec for final cut pro or final cut express. Life will be much easier for you if you do. ProRes 422 is roughly between 5 and 8 times bigger than native camera footage - sometimes as much as 10 times, I believe, but it's well worth it for editing, effects and playback quality. The time required depends largely on your processor power but 30 mins sounds realistic.

    2. Choose output format. Click on the “Format”> Final Cut Pro, Apple PreRes 422(HQ), Apple PreRes 422, Apple ProRes 422(LT), etc are all the proper choice for you. 
    3. Click "Settings" to adjust the parameters as you want, like Video Codec, bit rate, frame rate, Audio codec, sample rate, bit rate, channels. Set the video frame rate as 30fps, video size as 1920*1080 will be better. 
    4. Click Convert button to start MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 to Final Cut friendly Apple ProRes 422 for native editing on Mac OS X. 
    5. When the conversion ends, you can run the Final Cut Pro and click File --> Import --> Files to import the resulted MOV files and edit them in FCP easily, you can follow this import video to fcp guide.

  • HELP! Converting MPEG4 into Mov, AVI, WMV

    I made a small clip on iMovie. I need to upload to a website for my band. I clicked on Share then export movie to my desktop. The website clearly says..."For video, we accept the following formats: WMV, MOV, AVI, MPG, MP4, FLV"
    Also, "SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT VIDEO:
    GigMasters will automatically convert all WMV, MOV, AVI, MPG, and MP4 files to FLV. The conversion process will change the size of your video to 320 x 240 if it's not that size already. Also, the "audio sampling rate" of the video must be 11025 hz, 22050 hz, or 44,100 hz. Otherwise the audio may be garbled on playback."
    Everytime I try to upload it tells me, "We do not accept the format of the file you selected. Please make sure your file format matches one of those listed above."
    Somebody please help. Thank you.

    If using 4:3, which would be better given the AR of the movie required by your website, using the export to movie and then choosing the mobile size should be just fine. However your website may not like the .m4v extension added to the movie, in which case simply open the movie in Quicktime and select save as from the file menu, the resulting video will now be in a .mov container which you can then try uploading to your website.

  • Converting mpg and avi.

    hey everybody, Ive been scanning these forums for information on adding video into the 5th gen ipod , Ive learned alot of things but surprisingly theres not much information on converting mpg and avi files without quicktime pro. In my opinion Id rather have many music videos, live performances etc, than making the effort of coding 2 hour long dvd movies. so ive tried FortyTwoDVDVxPlus http://ipsp.kaisakura.com/fortytwovx.php and this program is great for just that, just drag the avi or mpg in and select ipod as the output and thats it. Without the license you can only get 10 minutes of any file, none of my music videos are that long. so it codes a 4 minute music video into .m4v in less than 4 minutes. itunes opens them up and im just waiting to see if my ipod will play them. if it goes smooth I plan on buying the license, hope this helps.

    I think .avi is a container, not a format. You can try with flip4mac and create windows media files (if you can't create any other format powerpoint accepts).On the other hand, if you have iWork-I think Keynote can be viewed from powerpoint.

  • Converted .wmv to .mov will no longer play in quicktime

    I have converted .wmv to .mov using the quicktime 7.6.4 save as feature and saved them to an external WD hard drive. They have been playing fine for months until yesterday, now i have a black quicktime screen, no sound or audio as the file plays, all that I have changed recently is that i have updated Flip4mac from 2.3.3.2 to 2.3.3.3 and updated Safari to version 4.1. I have run an Onyx maintenance scrypt and disc utility to try a repair a possible permissions or disc error, still no luck. I read an article on the Flip4mac site that suggested I export the file in quicktime, this has not worked. When viewing the files info it states the files codecs are windows media audio 9 standard*, windows media video 9 standard". After reading some other posts I installed Perian, but still no luck. If anyone can help to get these movie files operational again please advise.
