IDVD unable to display Quicktime HD  mov files as 16:9 format  :

Hi there.
The problem I have is that iDVD simply does not display the 16:9 format for the quicktime movie clips (less than 3 minutes) made with the screen size setting HIGHER than HD 1280 X 720 16:9. iDVD shows the higher resolutions i.e a.HD 1440 X 1080 16:9 and b. HD 1920 X 1080 16:9 as squeezed 4:3 format. It displays correctly with 16:9 aspect ration for the screen size of HD 1280 X 720 16:9/
The iDVD projects are all created with 16:9 aspect ratio . How can I get iDVD to display the higher HD resolutions in widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio. ?
Thanks in advance
KK

Hi
There are NO HD version of iDVD AT ALL !
The DVD standard is also limited to SD-video
Only way to get HD - as I know of is
• Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro incl. Blue-Ray component
• Blue-Ray burner + disks (short ones can be done on DVD with Mac Superdrive)
• Can only be played on a BR-Player eg PlayStation 3

  • Quicktime video (.mov file) will not load and play in Firefox 3.6.16

    I have a computer with Firefox 3.6.16 installed that will not play Quicktime videos (.mov files) in the browser. This is a desktop computer.
    Another computer (laptop) with exactly the same version of Firefox installed will load and play them perfectly in the Quicktime player.
    Both computers have Quicktime addin 7.6.9.0 installed and designated as the default application for Quicktime movies.
    Both computers play the videos correctly in IE 8.
    When attempting to play the video in Firefox, the player window opens and attempts to load the video, but soon seems to freeze leaving a black window open where the player should be.
    From what I have observed, this seems to be a problem related specifically to this computer, and since the video plays in IE I have ruled out the firewall blocking loading from the site.

    Hi, I've exactly the same problem, 'cept I've XP Pro. When I say exactly, I mean the format used is HDV 1080i60, along with everything else there.
    And I'm right there with you. Why Quicktime can't play a natively encoded HDV Quicktime file (using Final Cut Pro), is beyond me, but basically, I've used K-Lite Codec Pack, and Quicktime. Neither work, although Quicktime does ask for internet connectivity to download resources or something similar (I don't have Internet Access at home). I've used VLC on a friend's PC, and, while it works, there is a very strange, and irritating flicker where there's heavy movement
    Where can I get the resource needed, as another party needs to view the clip, and they already have it. So if they can update their codec library or similar, then that would be much better (as I wouldn't need to upload a FullHD Video again)
    thanks

  • Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

    Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

    haben
    From looking at the specifications of your camera (SJCam 4000), we know already what video compression your camera is using. It is H.264.
    A H.264.mov file should be supported by Premiere Elements 11. On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running?
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer? And, are you running QuickTime and Premiere Elements 11 from a
    User Account with administrative privileges? Please go to Premiere Elements 11 Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime to confirm that you find
    presets there for the QuickTime choice there.
    What are the properties of these H.264.mov files - is it 1080p30 (1920 x 1080p30)  or something else? Do you know if this camera is recording with a variable or
    a constant frame rate?
    Please review and consider and then we will decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • IDVD 7 won't recgonize an mov file

    Hi all
    I'm having a bit of a problem. Trying to author a dvd in iDVD because Final Cut suite no longer has DVD Pro (Big and ) . I've put 3 mov files into a folder within my movies folder but when pointing iDVD to the folder it will only recognise 2 out of the 3 files. One file is 653MB (4min 22sec), one 894MB (9min 00sec) and the third is 4.21GB (42min 20sec), all 1920x1080 HiDef. Now I know that added together the filesizes exceed the capacity of a single layer DVD but surely iDVD should be able to compress down to fit a DVD? It's less than an hour of video!
    Is this the reason why the third file won't pull into iDVD?
    Thanks for any help you guys can give me
    Daz

    This is how I've done it in iMovie 11 - I haven't used it for some time and I don't know if there is a later version or if this will work (Apple may well have crippled it like other programs):
    Don't use Share to iDVD, it degrades the quality.
    Select Share>Export using QuickTime. In the 'Export' drop-down menu choose 'Movie to QuickTime Movie.
    Click Options. Uncheck 'Prepare for Internet Streaming'.
    Video: Settings: Quality - best. Frame rate - current. Compression type - try 'None'. Size - PAL 720 x 576*. Do not deinterlace. This will take around real time.
    Import into iDVD and proceed in usual way.
    *For UK. If in USA use suitable settings for NTSC.

  • IDVD(9) not accepting FCE 4 *.mov files

    Notification from iDVD : Unsupported file type : unknown format....
    The movie was a quick time export, not a QT conversion... from FCE 4
    This occurred after I upgraded to snow leopard and FCE HD 3.5 to FCE 4..
    The QT.mov runs on QT..
    I read most of the posts but cannot relate one toward resolution for this one...
    Any help appreciated...

    Hi
    May be totally out in the blue - but here goes.
    a. NO iDVD version till now can handle HD at all - will be scaled down to SD-video
    b. In FinalCut Express or Pro I do
    • Export out as QuickTime .mov file
    • Not selfcontained (Not important - just saves time and space)
    • NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION - at all
    This gives me as good DVDs as is possibly by using iDVD
    c. to get better quality there are two ways I used
    • DVD Studio Pro - In FinalCut Studio bundle
    (Cost ! And is not easy to use - lot's of gray hair)
    • Roxio Toast™
    (Cheaper and can burn Blue-Ray to such a burner/disks but also to standard DVDs
    but much shorter movies eg 20min/disk)

  • Quicktime 10 not opening Quicktime 7 MOV files

    All of the old Quicktime movies created from IDL TIFF images and exported using the IDL 6.3 Research Systems Inc. Codec will not play in Quicktime 10. The files would not play in VLC or Flip4Mac either. Imported the MOV files into iMovie 11 (9.0.2), the thumbnails showed the images and tried to export in different formats. All formats displayed black screens. Any ideas would be appreciated. I have dozens of movies that need to be made accessible to coworkers.

    Unfortunately the codec was not installed on this system... The error seems to be happening only for TIF files that were used to build the project.
    Then perhaps you should install the missing codec if possible or convert the files on the "old" system. If the TIFF images are encoded using a proprietary or custom compression codec, then QT would require the same codec to decode the file data for both playback and conversions.

  • Quicktime does not convert my .MOV file into a watchable format on Quicktime

    Hi guys!
    I won't give you all a long sob story but basically, I went to my first music festival over the weekend and uploaded my videos onto my friends computer, I then uploaded these videos (i took with my iPhone) to Google Drive. When i got back onto my own computer, I download the .MOV files from Google Drive, these videos would not convert into a watchable format. It gives me the message -
    "QuickTime Player can't open "IMG_8788.MOV". To see if additional software is available that will enable QuickTime Player to open the movie, click Tell Me More."
    It says that Quicktime should support MOV files. I am using version 10.3 Quicktime player with iOS Mavericks. I really want help with this issue as I will be devastated if these videos are lost. My friend obviously deleted them off his computer because they did take up alot of space!

    iPhone recorded files should already be compatible QT X v10.3 (and QL) as is in the MOV file container. However, the process of downloading, uploading, and again downloading the files may have created some sort of issue causing QT X to not properly "recognize" the content and thus, wants you to check for additional support.
    In any case, will the files open in any other media players? (E.g., VLC, MPlayerX, NicePlayer, QT 7, MPEG Streamclip, etc.) For instance, if the files open in QT 7 Pro, MPEG Streamclip, or VLC, you may be able to copy the data to a new MOV file container which QT X will open and play. (I.e., this procedure does not recompress the data and is reasonable quick. Also not sure if using the "Command-D" Finder option to "duplicate" the file will create a "readable" file or not but you might try it.)

  • Display thumbnails for MOV files in Windows XP?

  • QuickTime Player 10.1 no more includes the ability to save a movie file in the same format as the original movie after editing it? No, it doesn't!

    Since upgraded to Lion, I have to wait for QuickTime Player 10.1 to "CONVERT" every file that I edited in it.
    Yes, it might save some disk space for me.(Which is not always the case though.) But it also takes almost 10 times or more as it did when back on Snow Leopard with QuickTime Player 10.0 there I could save any file in the same format as the original movie WITH NO NEED TO CONVERT IT.
    Now I have to wait like 10 minutes to delete just a few frames.(The time it takes depends upon the original size of that movie. The larger the longer.) And guess what? If you have two clips originally split up from a movie and sperately getting saved(converted actually) with a loooooooot of time, and you naively added one of them to the other's end and then saved the finished one. It converts AGAIN! Doing so back on Snow Leopard with QuickTime Player 10.0 only takes you even a few seconds only!
    Seriously, are we eating Apple or dirt this time?

    My existing movies are all the following types straight from FinalCut
    Apple Intermediate Codec, 1920 × 1080, Millions
    16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo, 48.000 kHz
    This particular movie is 6.66 Gb
    The new Quicktime player in OS Mavericks converts these to the following format:
    Apple ProRes 422, 1920 x 1080
    Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 2 channels, 48000 Hz
    And a movie size of 6.48 Gb
    It seems obvious from other forum posts this is a planned move so that everything is the "new mobile device" ready state/format. To use Marc Speth's post as material....
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/23749558#23749558
    this is probably about dumbing down desk top OS to that pf iPhones and iPads. This is not what I paid good money to own a Mac Book Pro for....
    Today I rolled all the back to Snow Leopard. Really good move...... All those new features hey? I lost the ability to work in spaces and of course the whole Quicktime debacle.
    The rolling back process was easy, restored from a point prior to installing Lion and Mavericks and the only issue was my iPhoto libraries. Thank my stars that I still had back ups that I had not converted yet.... viva la Mavericks...NOT. Apple can keep it.
    Unsure if you are just venting or if there is supposed to be a question here. Basically, I assumed this to be Apple's idea of an improvement. That is, I really believe the ProRes 422 codec is a better intermediate codec than the AIC codec but most of my old HDV camcorder family tapes were imported by iMovie (for compatibility with my wife's non-FCP computer configuration) and, like your content, is/remains stored as AIC/PCM MOV files. At first I thought this might be a generalized change affecting all QT X based apps but when I went to check the latest iMovie v10.0 update, became confused when I noted that AIC source files were not automatically updated to ProRes 422 and continue to play natively in the iMovie source media viewer.
    I guess this is supposed to be a logical evoluption and we were supposed to have seen the "handwriting on the wall" dating back to when Apple's first released the free ProRess "player" ProRes 422 codec. Still, it would have been nice if Apple had given some warning during the last few years so users could plan and prepare for such a drastic change. For the moment, I am just thankful that AIC remains, at least temporarily, supported nativelyby the iMovie video editor under Mavericks. Thank goodness for small favors.

  • Creating timelapse images into a quicktime or .mov file

    I photographed a timed sequence of still images lasting for a few seconds, and would like to know how I can create a short movie from these images.
    I've already photoshopped the images which are saved as .jpg files. And want to post it as a movie file online and email the file.
    Would I create these time lapsed images into a movie by using a program like IMovie or within PhotoShop?
    I have Final Cut Pro but still very much a stranger in using this program. I will when I've more time.
    I have PhotoShop 8 (yeah 'ol school, but it works for me ), MacBook Pro running with 2GB Ram., OS 10.5.7.
    Something tells me, that this could be a simple task of importing these images, but could be to good to be true.
    Would greatly appreciate any feedback on the best way in creating such a file.
    thanks in advance..  ~A~

    Christopher..
    Was doing this in ImageReady, followed all the steps to save the file (with all the time lapse images) as a quicktime movie file.
    And when I open the saved quick time movie file it only saves one image as a .mov quicktime file and not the rest of the images?
    Looked through a few notes, retried and couldn't figure it out?
    Marion..
    FCP.. I have no idea where to begin in learning how to import .jpg (timelapse) images into FCP let alone piece it into a small film.
    All the images are ready to be converted into a movie file..just don't know where to start.
    any leads would be greatly welcomed!     ~A~

  • M4v movie file in h.264 format freezes in itunes/quicktime

    I have some movie files in .m4v format with h.264 codec, and when I play these in itunes/quicktime, the video quickly freezes but the audio continues to run without pause. I've noticed that a movie in .m4v as an MPEG4 works fine, however. Exact same result if I run a .mkv movie with h.264/MPEG4 (works for MPEG4 only)
    I'm using a Unibody MB OSX 10.5.8.
    I'm hoping to run the h.264 in itunes so I can stream it to a new apple tv because of the better quality vs. MPEG4.
    Any thoughts???

  • Displaying HDV 1080i50 .mov file in FCE captured with Final Cut Pro

    Hi
    I cannot display (in Final Cut Express) a clip in a .mov file that contains HDV 1080i50. The file was created on a different Mac computer running Final Cut Pro. The source was a Sony Z1 camera. No hardware card was used.
    I get the error message in FCE - "Codec not found. You may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card"
    Can Final Cut Express work with HDV 1080i50 created from FCP?

    You didn't say what format the video was, but you can use MPEG Streamclip to convert that video to something that works in FCE.
    The important thing is that you'll want to match the settings you convert this video to so that it matches your timeline settings. This will make everything much easier to work with and eliminates the need to constantly render the timeline.
    Do you have other content you are going to be working with in addition to just this one clip? If it's just this one clip, you will probably want to use the "Easy Setup" settings of HD, AVCHD-Applie Intermediate Codec 1920x1080i50. You'll want to use MPEG StreamClip to convert that video to matching settings -- specifically tell it to convert to AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec). If you have other media/clips you're working with in addition to this one, you'll then need to decide what format you want to use for the timeline and Easy Setup. If you post those details, we can try to help out.

  • MPEG movie files converting to another format for iDVD

    Hey,
    Friend of mine recorded video of a concert. The files from her memory stick are in MPEG movie format.
    I burned them from the memory stick to a disc. Now I'm trying to insert one of these MPEG movie files to a current iDVD dvd project. BUT for some reason or another it is not letting me.
    Could someone please let me know how to take a MPEG movie file and insert it into a iDVD project.

    Ive not actually tried protected iTunes Store files with this solution so not sure if it works (if not, yes, you would need to burn them to Audio CD and re-impot them unprotected.)
    AACs are compatible with the PSP as-is however, it's just the PSP does not like the .m4a file extension. Simply renaming the extension to .mp4 will address this.
    On a PC, you can create a batch file on your PSP memory stick with the following command:
    rename *.m4a *.mp4
    Run this batch file after copying your iTunes AACs to the memory stick and they will work fine.
    I'm sure the same can be achieved on a Mac with AppleScript or Automater, I don't have experience with those to achieve the same results though - perhaps someone could create a rename multiple files example?

  • Unable to backup 8 GB .mov file

    I have an 8.16 GB .mov file that I can easily view in Quicktime on my computer and is on one of my hard drives. My computer has begun dying on me frequently and I'm trying to get my important files backed up (this one is important to me) to an external hard drive. This file will not copy to my external Lacie drive, or my other hard drive. I get an error that reads: "The finder cannot complete the operation because some data could not be read or written. (Error code -36)" This usually happens after it is a ways through the copying process.
    As far as I know the largest writable DVDs are 7GBs?
    Does anyone know a good way/program to compress this file in order to burn it to a DVD, or a program that can repair the file or convert it to another format?
    I put it on my hard drive 5 years ago so remembering the details is a little sketchy, it's a home video I believe I put there by attaching a VCR to a camcorder to my computer.
    Thanks for your time,
    M

    Open the file, say it is an hour for arguments sake, not sure how long it is for 8GB but we'll say that. Go to the beginning press I (in) to set the in point. Then move the cursor to 15:00 minutes. Press O (out) to set the out point.
    Then do CMD+C (copy) CMD+N (new player window) CMD+V (paste) and that 15 minute chunk is in a new player. Save as , say Movie 1 of 4.mov
    Move to 15:00, set in and at 30:00 set out. Copy and paste that into a new player and save as Movie 2 of 4 . Repeat for 30 - 45 and 45 - 60.
    You now have the same movie not recompressed in 4 files each 2 GB in size. Save them on DVD's or the like.
    Reassembly is the reverse. Open 1 of 4. Set cursor to the end of the clip , e.g at 15:00. Open 2 of 4. CMD+A (select all) CMD+C (copy) then click on the 1st player window (the one at the end of 15:00) and CMD+V paste.
    You now have a 30 minute movie. Repeat pasting 3 and 4 of 4 to the end of the first one (well 3 gets pasted to the end of what was 2 and is now the 30 minute mark and 4 gets pasted to the end of that activity which will now be 45 minutes long).
    Save as Movie "all of all" or whatever name you like. It's back in one piece. QT will cut to the frame precisely. You can set the time indicator to a frame indicator by CTRL/Right + click on it. More accurate that way. To make your 4 chunks.
    Kirk was saying you probably have a drive originally in FAT32 that works on Windows/mac but has a 4GB maximum file limit. If you can back it all up onto some other drive for a while and repartition in HFS+ for OSX you won't have the problem with large files. But no, don't repartition/format while it has the only copy of the data on it.
