I want to join 3GPP clips together, will Quicktime Pro do that?

I have the Droid and I took some amazing videos at a concert. They are in great quality and I would like to join the clips together to make one longer video. I tried using iMovie, but it doesn't support 3GPP format. I tried converting the files to a format supported by iMovie, but the quality was extremely diminished. Now, I'm looking for software that supports 3GPP files and will let me join clips together. Does Quicktime Pro do this?

Try just changing files extensions to .mov, then edit in iMovie or Quicktime.

I downloaded movies from my ipad to my mac and they went directly into iphoto. In imovie, I want to put these clips together and when I go to events or albums where these are located, they aren't there. Help!

I downloaded movies from my ipad2 to my Mac and they went directly into iphoto. In imovie, I want to put these clips together but when I go to find the movies in events or albums where they are stored, they are not there. So, they show up in iphoto, but not I movie. I tried exporting them to desktop then to imovie, that didn't work either. Please help! How do I get my movie clips from my ipad2 to show up in imovie when creating?

They are not in the "events library" of imovie.

QuickTime Player is not itself able to do this. You need a proper DVD authoring solution such as Apple's iDVD.

I want to put my .m2ts movies (Sony HD recorder) on my Ipad3. It looks they need to be converted to h.264 format. Question is will Quicktime Pro work or are there any better software solutions. Running XP system. Thanks

You could try Handbrake, it works quite well.

Will QuickTime Pro Edit mp4?

I own the Madonna: The Immaculate Collection on DVD. I have converted the VOB file to mp4, but it is 62 minutes long. Every video is included in the one file. I want to break the videos down individually for my iPod. I don't mind spending the $30 to upgrade my QuickTime to pro it it will allow me to do this. If not, does anybosy know another program ($50 or less) that will? I've also read some user reviews on QuickTime. Are there a lot of bugs/issues with Windows XP? Thanks.

Will QuickTime Pro Edit mp4?
Yes, but it may not be the best solution in all work flows. Converting and then clipping into segments is a viable solution that will save the final product as an .mov file even though the movie is still in its original format. Reversing the work flow, however, and clipping the file into segments first is not very accurate owing to the way in which the sequential blocks of audio and video data are stored in the file.

A cheaper and perhaps better solution would be to dowload the free Windows version of MPEG Streamclip and use it. Since it employs an MPEG based player/editor window, you can accurately set in and out points for the decrypted VOB and convert the segments directly to individual iPod compatible files. In addition, filters are available to change brightness, contrast, saturation, and/or volume, as well as, custom cropping with improved scaling as part of the conversion process. In some ways, it is also easier to use than QT Pro.
I've also read some user reviews on QuickTime. Are there a lot of bugs/issues with Windows XP?
If you really don't want to use Apple's QT tools, MPEG Streamclip for windows will also use the QT Alternate software instead. I personally don't find QT to be "buggy" to any real degree. Most of my problem have been traced to use of the QT H.264 codec at low video data rates. The "predictor-corrector" routines appear to be written for use at higher data rates (my guess would be in the 2.0 mbps to 5.0 mbps range) and so tend to be slow to "clamp" video data rate excursions in excess of user settings below 1.0-1.5 mbps with certain vintage video content. As I use the Mac version, I'm stuck with QT 7 and simply make adjustments as needed for a 100% conversion success rate for the nearly 400 videos currently on my iPod.

I'd suggest you ask this question in the QuickTime for Mac forum. QuickTime for Windows doesn't have the video capture feature, so this probably isn't the best place for you to get a quick answer.

Will Quicktime Pro convert/compress .dv files to Quicktime?

I have .dv movies that are taking up so much space on my hard-drive. I purchased Quicktime Pro to compress those files so they will take up less space. I don't see in the tutorial how to do this. Could someone please point me in the right direction so I can see how to do this? Thanks!

Will Quicktime Pro convert/compress .dv files to Quicktime?
Of course.

This is impossible to do until you define what you mean by "QuickTime."
Basically, a "QuickTime" (MOV) file is any form of dat that can be placed in an MOV file container -- not a compression format in and of itself. Therefore, your first step is to determine what you really want to do here. For instance, a DV (.dv) stream file normally consists of an audio DV compressed track along with a video DV compressed track. DV(25) files normally contain audio and video tracks having a data rate on the order of 28.5 Mbps each (or about a 57 Mbps total average data rate). As you indicated, these do make for rather large files. You could, of course, reduce the total data rate by nearly half if you merge the original video track with AIFF (linear PCM) converted audio (or even smaller if you use an AAC audio track). The catch here is that QT Pro does not have a DV "pass thorough" video option which allows you to simply convert the audio while retaining the original DV video. So unless you are willing to manually convert the audio track and then manually replace the original Audio track with your converted audio, you would normally have to convert both audio and video to another compression format.
In this latter case, you could select any valid codec supported by QT as augmented by installed components. Typical possibilities would be AIC/AIFF, unlimited H.264/AAC, Motion-JPEG/AIFF Photo-JPEG/AIFF, supported MPEG4/AAC or H.264/AAC profiles with limited data rates. These compression options are all compatible with iMovie '08 editing and represent a full range of possible data rates (which in turn determine your final file size). For instance, an AIC/AIFF file would normally end up with a total data rate on the order of 20-22 Mbps with an unlimited H.264/AAC about 16-18 Mbps, M-JPEG 10 Mbps, Photo-JPEG 8-9 Mbps, and MPEG4/AAC or H.264 as low as you can stand the loss in quality and still retain a video track.
These various compression formats basically represent a compromise between file size and quality with the quoted data rates being typical for SD content with an "average" quality setting. While actual data rates are always dependent on the actual file converted, the stated averages should provide some idea as to what you could expect in comparison to your original source file -- i.e., the AIC/AIFF file would be expected to be about 62-65% the size of your DV file, unlimited H.264/AAC 28-31%, M-JPEG/AIFF 17-18%, Photo-JPEG 14-15%, and MPEG4/AAC or H.264/AAC in the 3-5% range with "reasonable" quality levels.
Since each codec has somewhat different characteristics and user options, I will not go into specifics for each here. What I would recommend at this point is for you to select a short file with typical content and convert it wising the various codecs and determine what compromise in file size and quality you can live with at the display size you plan to use. This in turn will likely depend to some extent on what you plan to do with the final file. For the archiving of files for later use/editin, you like want files to retain as much quality as possible which, in turn, usually implies large file sizes. On the other hand, distribution files can be much more highly compressed as a "finished" product which you don't intend to re-compress or edit further. Remember, when you compress a file more compact format you are literally "throwing away" data so you should be most judicious in selecting that appropriate format to which to compress your files for the saving of file space.

Will Quicktime Pro convert movies in other formats for use with IPad Air 2

ITunes 12 will let me import movies with no problem. However I cannot export these movies out to my IPhone 6 or IPad Air 2. Will Quicktime Pro allow me to convert these movies so they can be exported? I don't want to spend the $30 for it if the software will not do it.
Or if anyone else knows of another solution, I'm open to other options. I use to have an Samsung Galaxy 2 tablet and I just switched over to an IPad Air 2. Been using an IPhone for years.
Thanks!

Nearly all "all-in-one" or multifunction devices will work with a Mac, but I recommend purchasing one from a company that visibly supports OS X. Brother, Canon, and Epson are all good choices. At present, no other common printer manufacturers are worth considering.
Wireless all-in-one devices are convenient and cost about the same as USB-only ones. Consider AirPrint compatibility for future needs.
Recently I have grown to favor Brother printers over the others. I recommend AirPrint compatible Brother printers and multifunction devices over those of other manufacturers. They are inexpensive, their OS X integration is well-implemented, their consumables are reasonably priced, and their technical support is free forever. If you need to call them and explain that you have a Mac, you will immediately receive competent assistance.
I have grown to dislike HP printers, for all the above reasons.
Read user reviews from vendor websites - Amazon is a good place to start, since Amazon lets people write almost anything they want... right, wrong, or completely idiotic.
Read the reviews on the respective manufacturers' websites as well, but consider the likelihood of them deleting negative reviews.
Process all those user reviews employing your own common sense, and draw your own conclusions.

That depends. How much free space do you have available on a single drive? Which compression format do you plan to use? How fast is your CPU. Barring the unexpected, QT 7 Pro will record until it runs out of scratch space. Frame rates are dependent on your CPU power which means newer, more powerful platforms record more frames per second and thus tend to have higher data rates up to the max standard for the system. Lastly, the compression format/device type/device capture size/graphic complexity combination also determines the average data rate. So, as long as the average data rate times the duration of the clip is less than the amount of free space available on your hard drive, you can record continuously.

If by "oncscreen" movie you are referring to a "screen capture" of a movie, the QT 7 Pro will not do this. You either need to use a third-party screen capture application or upgrade to Snow Leopard for QT X "screen capture" capabilities.

.mov files choppy in iMovie. Will Quicktime Pro help?

I use a Panasonic FX01 digital stills camera to take small movie clips sometimes. It creates .mov files that are super smooth when played back in Quicktime.
I'd really like to use them in iMovie. iMovie imports the clips okay, but they play back slightly jerky. Would Quicktime Pro do a better job of converting the .mov files (presumably to dv) than just importing into iMovie?
Or is the jerkiness due to fps?
The camera offers me 30fps at 640x480. It also offers me, in the menu, a PAL output, which I choose. I'm not sure if selecting this makes the camera record at 25fps for PAL.
I've tried opening my iMovie project at 25fps and 29.97fps and the imported .mov is still jerky.
Is there any way to maintain the smoothness of the original .mov files and yet use iMovie to create DVDs that'll play on a PAL system?
Thanks.

Would Quicktime Pro do a better job of converting the .mov files (presumably to dv) than just importing into iMovie?
It shouldn't make any difference for the most part. In purchasing iMovie (iLife) you gained access to the same QT "Pro" routines as when you buy QT Pro and access them through the player. What you do gain is more control over the specific settings which are applied as opposed to the "automatic" conversion by an iMovie import.
Or is the jerkiness due to fps?
Not an epert here, but would tend to believe this contributes to the problem. My recomendation wpuld be to download and try a conversion using MPEG Streamclip here. Believe QT uses a simple "drop frame" algorithm when converting from NTSC to PAL. MPEG Streamclip is has a "blend frame" algorithm option instead which ensures no video data is totally lost. If you step through the converted video, you will, however, note the periodically 2 frames have beeb bended together and, therefore, appear somewhat "fuzzy." Degree of fuzziness, of course, depends on the amount of vector motion displacement between the frames which have been blended. File is also resized to 720 x 576 as part of the operation PAL DV conversion. In any case, you can always give it a try and import the resulting file into iMovie as PAL.

What formats will Quicktime Pro play

I just installed Quicktime Pro on Win XP, and I can't get it to open any format, including wmv! Is there any video format that Quicktime will open without buying their MPEG2 codec?

This page includes a list of formats that QT will open.
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/player/specs.html
Note, however, that some of those formats are container formats that can have content compressed with many different compression formats and specific decompressors may be needed to be able to play a given file. This is especially true of avi and mov formats. If a file does not play then try opening MovieInfo in the Windows menu to see what compression was used. You may need to then search the internet for a decompressor for the file.
QT does not open wmv files, The mpeg2component is only used for playback of mpeg2 files so don't buy it unless you want to play that format in QT Player.

I would like to convert an animated Gif to .mov, will Quicktime Pro 7 do this? Should I spend the money?

Hi everyone.
I'm looking to put a few animations onto keynote and I'm making my presentation on PowerPoint.
I need to convert an animated gif into a .mov file and was wondering whether Quicktime Pro 7 does this?
Thanks

I need to convert an animated gif into a .mov file and was wondering whether Quicktime Pro 7 does this?
Since it appears QTKirk has provided the best answer for your specific work flow issue as stated, I will answer your more general question...
Yes, QT 7 Pro can open an animated GIF file and save it as an MOV file. At this time the real question is whether or not the MOV file produced is suitable for your needs. Basically the MOV file can be then then be played—but it only plays one pass in the normal playback mode. You can, of course opt to loop the playback which, for a small files, plays much as the original GIF.
Unfortunately, the "Loop" setting is not saved when the MOV file is saved, so this option must be re-initialized each time the MOV file is opened. This would not be a problem if all you are doing is openening the file in the QT 7 player and letting it play in the looped mode all day as some sort of display but would likely be an unsatisfoactory solution for sending the MOV file to someone else. You could, of course, turn the MOV file into a QTL file with the loop option set to get around this problem.
While I would be hard pressed to say it would be a good investment just for the creation of GIF movie files, QT 7 Pro does offer a lot of other features that make it a bargain utility for many quick edit requirements if you use/need them.

Will QuickTime Pro "Re-compress"?

I have lots of movies made in iMovie that I "shared" as CD quality QuickTime. I would like to compress a few of them even more so that I can email them and place a few on my web page. I know I could go back to iMovie and compress them in the "Share" menu, but I don't have the iMovie of many of the projects. I do have the CD quality Quicktime, however. So, before I purchase QuickTime Pro, can anyone enlighten me if it will allow me to open a CD quality QuickTime and write it out again with more compression?
intel iMac Mac OS X (10.4.7) LOVE my intel Mac

QT will compress almost any file type it can open, so you would be able to re-compress "CD Quality" to a smaller files by choosing other compressors, reducing the frame sizes, lowering the frame rates, or choosing a lower datarate. All these compression options will reduce the video quality when you re-compress a compresed video so you will have to experiment a bit to find settigs that result in an acceptable quality loss.

Will QuickTime Pro Decoders work in Windows Media Player?

I am working on a Notebook/Laptop with Windows XP Home. This machine does not play DVDs in Windows Media Player. I am considering upgrading to Quicktime Pro for all of its functions. I was just wondering if this would fix Windows Media Player too?
Thanks...

I was just wondering if this would fix Windows Media Player too?
Probably not. QuickTime Pro doesn't include a DVD decoder anyway; if you want to play unprotected DVDs in QuickTime, you need the MPEG-2 playback component, which is completely separate from and not part of QuickTime Pro. Protected DVDs require a dedicated DVD player application.
