is quicktime pro suitable for home movies?
That depends on how you define "suitable" (the editing capabilities you want/need to use) and what you mean by "home movies" (the editing compatibility of the files you need/want to edit).
QT 7 Pro does not add any additional codec components. It merely unl, ocks editing/conversion features not available to to base QT 7 player app. If you to convert, trim, merge, edit, mask, layer, and/or composite various forms of "compatible" data (up to 99 tracks), then it is a cheap alternative to full video editing apps/suites costing hundreds or even thousands of dollars. While it has many advanced capabilities and features, the utility often requires the user to perform many of the actions manually at a low or basic graphic user interaction level. If you are expecting QT 7 Pro to open files the base QT 7 player won't already open, then you will be diasappointed.

Quick Time Pro installation for Ipod videos

I have been trying to download video files to my Ipod. I read where I needed Quick Time 7 so I downloaded it. It didn;t work. I was told I needed Quicktime 7 Pro. Bought it. When I followed instructions for converting my video files I received an error message saying my video files were not movie files. After discussing the issue with an Apple support person it looks as if I do not have Apple Quick Time 7 Pro. I followed the directions and when I open Quicktime in the control panel it has my name and unlock key and says Quicktime 7 Pro. However when I open Quick Time Player and go to ABOUT...it says Quicktime 7.0.3. How do I get what I paid for so that I can convert my video files and treansfer them to my IPod? Help!

QT Pro is not a separate application. The Pro key unlocks the Pro capabilities that are in the free version of the Player. You should find a preset for iPod videos by loading the source files and using Export from the File menu. Note that QT will not export the sound track from muxed mpegs, like mpeg-1 or mpeg-2. QT Mpeg Limitations
For those you will have to try some of the Windows applications that have appeared since the iPod was released. Here is the link for one of those Windows iPod exporters that should work with avi and mpeg files. It is freeware.

Quick time pro keys

If i purchase a quick time pro key for my windows laptop and the UPGRADE to an imac (as i intend to do ) will my key still work for the mac version (windows laptop will be formatted and given to my father)

James, welcome to these discussions.
The QuickTime Pro upgrade is platform specific. You'll need to purchase a new Pro registration for your new Mac.
Tell your Dad it'll cost him $30 for your old Windows laptop. Give him the QT Pro for Windows.

I have AVI files that I need to be MOV files so that I can edit them in Final Cut Pro. I am going to use Quick Time Pro for this....do I have to 'export' it or can I just 'save as', or is there even a difference? Thanks in advance for your help!

I strongly recommend you use compressor to do the conversion (if it will open the files - since quicktime will open them, it will more than likely do it.
Compressor allows you to customize presets and save them and apply them to multiple files. Although the interface may seem daunting, it's actually pretty simple.
Even if you can edit the avi in fcp, it's not a good idea. Liable to cause problems down the road.

Quick Time Pro for Windows

I’ve got a digital camera which uses Quick Time (for Windows) to play back ‘movies’ I’ve recorded on it.
If I upgrade to Quick Time Pro for Windows will I be able to convert and export the Quick Time files to a format that my DVD players can recognize and play? If so, what is this format?
Windows XP

will I be able to convert and export the Quick Time files to a format that my DVD players can recognize and play?
Sorry but no. DVD players require movies to be in MPEG-2, which QuickTime on Windows cannot export. You'll need to find a Windows-based video DVD creation application to be able to create disks a DVD player can handle. I can't make any recommendations, but perhaps someone else here can, or you can search the web for something like "Windows video DVD create".

Rotate movie feature not showing up after installing quick time pro key

I installed Quick Time 7 Player for Windows and then entered my Quick Time 7 Pro registration code. When I open a movie, recorded on a Sony Cyber Shot camera, movie editing features are not showing up. I need to rotate my movies 90 degrees and that was the sole purpose of purchasing the pro addition.
After reading through pages of on-line support resourses and endless calls for technical support (and receiving none), I am still unable to figure out what's going on. Any ideas? Thank you for your help and insights in advance.

Sounds like you are trying to edit muxed mpeg files, the editing of which QT PRO does not support. It also will not export the sound from such files. If they are mpeg-1 you can use Mpeg StreamClip to edit or export them. If they are mpeg-2 you would first need to buy the mpeg2playbackcomponent. With that component installed mpegstreamclip will also edit mpeg2 files.

Quick Time Pro for Mac FAILURE

The upgrade to Quick Time Pro was marketed by Apple as a "one click" answer and means to record movies. What a crock!!
I'm trying to record a streaming video/sound presentation, like a class. Right click on its link gives a URL.
So, one would think that entering the URL into QTPro would activate the video, but it doesn't. After reading this forum, I repaired permissions [whatever that means] using disk utilities, and it still fails. I've tried clicking on the QT controller just as soon as movie starts, and nothing.
Now what?
Any help would be appreciated. I'm obviously doing something wrong, but don't know what.

Well you have to have an account to view ( so I didn't view it) but there are a lot of ways to get flash, the easiest being to use Firefox and the free add-in DownloadHelper which will let you copy the flv file off the site to a file and then watch it in QT or MPEG Streamclip if you have the right codecs.
Install Macromedia's most recent flash component for Firefox and also Perian.
Free, free, and free. MPEG Streamclip will allow you to export the flv to Quicktime as well.
You don't need QT Pro at all and had you searched you would have saved the dough, too.

How do I save movies puchased from Apple as .avi file from Quick Time Pro?

Help! I've purchased Quick Time Pro in hopes of converting my movies purchased from I Tunes to .avi files so they would be viewable through a media player. I exported the movie as discribed through Quick Time Pro and upon completion only get a white screen with no sound when the .avi file is opened. I'm concerned because this was an Apple file to start with and the necessary codecs (or whatever I need) should be included in the Quick Time Pro. What's the deal? Thanks.

The terminology is known as "Fair Use" and the U.S. Supreme Court had to get involved to sort the mess out.
When the first VHS and BetaMax "recorders" allow people to capture TV broadcasts and use them as they see fit (view at a different time than intended) these new "rules" were established.
Today no one thinks twice to use these "time shifting" devices (TiVo and others) to first "record" and then fast forward through content (skipping the people that really pay for the distribution by bypassing the commercials).
When you buy a DVD the "rules" say you get the right to view it on a DVD player or on your computer (also using DVD player software).
But, even though you "bought it", you never get the rights to change, edit, modify or convert it to fit your Fair Use rights.
The original poster wanted to convert some one else's file to another format. Apple doesn't own it (it only "sells" it). QuickTime Pro can't be used because it follows these "rules" regarding true ownership of the content (the copyright holders).
Since they have only purchased the right to "view" the file in the format is was sold (CD, DVD or iTunes purchase) they do not get the right to convert or edit the file.

Quick Time Pro - converting movie formats

I am having a frustrating time with Quick Time Pro ... its most likely me, but I do need help.
I just purchased Quick Time Pro for the purpose of taking some previous movies (in the AVI format) that I have burned to a DVD ... and ... convert them to the mov file extension so that I can put them into itune movie library and play them on my new Apple TV.
After a long time with technical support, I finally got Quick Time Pro installed, but now I can not open up the movie ... with Quick Time Pro.
I thought it would be as easy as 1) selecting the movie and 2) and then "Save as" to another format.
I am totally lost right now. I do need help.

To begin with, AVI is a file format--not a compression format. It simply signifies that the audio and video compressed data is spatially interleaved for synchronization purposes and thus prevent one form of data from "overrunning" the other. It is an old file container for which its originator, Microsoft, officially dropped support more than a decade ago in favor of new, more modern file containers.
In order to convert the AVI file, you must first ensure that your system's QT component configuration supports the compression formats contained in the audio and/or video tracks. This may or may not be obvious. If the files open and play in the QT 7 Player, then they are likely edit/conversion compatible with QT 7 Pro. However, if the files simply load in the player but do not play or will not open in the player, then one or more tracks are not supported by your QT components.
Since the AVI is somewhat outmoded, the data contained may or may not be supported by your Leopard OS. Some older compression formats have never been transcoded for Mac us and those that have may never have been transcoded for OS X. The normal thing to do here would be to determine what specific codecs were used to crete the file and then install them if they are available. However, many inexperienced users simply install the Perian component package and hope for the best as this component package includes support for most AVI codecs that have survived the transition to OS X use.
I thought it would be as easy as 1) selecting the movie and 2) and then "Save as" to another format.
Again you are somewhat mistaken. While the "Save As..." QT 7 Pro option will place the audio and video data in an MOV container that will likley import and play in iTunes, it does not ensure the resulting file will be TV compatible since the TV device player only supports a limited number of audio and video compression formats. For instance, a DivX/MP3 AVI data can be moved to an MOV file container which will import and play in iTunes if support by either Perian or DivX codecs (but not normally both at the same time), it cannot be played on an TV device. In such cases, you will need to "convert" the source content to TV compatible compression formats. The most commonly used TV compression format here would be H.264/AAC (with or without chapter, alternate audio, and/or AC3 audio tracks). Once properly supported by the proper components, the DivX/MP3 AVI example above could be either opened directly in the QT 7 Pro player and converted to the TV preset or saved to an MOV file container which cold then be imported by iTunes and converted by iTunes for use on the TV device. (This latter option does not require QT 7 Pro be keyed.)
ADDED:
To clarify what QTKirk said, data burned to DVD for playback on commercial DVD players would normally be converted to "muxed" MPEG2/AC3 or MPEG2/PCM (VOB) content. However, AVI files can also be burned as "data" files in their original AVI file format. You need to look at the files contained on the DVD to know for sure and select the appropriate workflow as needed.

Quick Time Pro for evaluation

I need to convert video files with the .MOV extension to a .AVI extension in order that videos can be read by a Sony DPF-D1020 Digital Picture Frame. I have spent 2 days trying different types of evaluation copies from different companies but nothing works. The conversion process completes successfully, but the Digital picture frame cannot read the converted files.
Can somebody help me out? Is there a place where I can get a copy of Quick Time Pro for evaluation purposes - I want to see if it works before paying $35.
Thank you

You need to determine which codecs the DPF-D1020 can read and then convert using one of those codecs. AVI is a container, not a codec.

If you're just trying to convert files, use the free MPEG Streamclip instead.

The QT X v10.1 app installs in your "Applications folder and QT 7 v7.6.6 (whether keyed for "Pro" use or not) is installed in the "Applications/Utilities" folder. It is recommended you keep them in these locations so they will continue to update correctly/automatically.

Need serial number for Quick Time Pro

I bough Quick Time Pro two years ago need to reload it can’t find serial number. Have reformatted, how can I get my serial number?

Unless you kept a copy of the email from Apple with the key or have the old QuickTime preference files in a backup, you'll have to purchase a new key. Apple only keeps order information for 18 months now.
Regards.

Quick time pro for lion cannot be loaded?

Bought Quick time pro in the store and tried to install. But it did not work bcause there is LION installed. Then I tried to get to install QUICK TIME 7. But it did not work because there is a later version installed. The I tried to remove QUICK TIME 10. from my computer but it did not work (Software is required by the system and cannot be removed) And now?
Regards,
Ingo

I tried to install QUICK TIME 7. But it did not work because there is a later version installed.
If you received this message then you were probably trying to install QT 7 v7.7 (or as it is better known, QT for Leopard). OS X Snow Leopard and Lion both require a special version of QT 7 Player app (currently v7.6.6) which is compatible with the dual 32-/64-bit QT structure embded in these latest operating systems and which is the version referenced by the URL given by Niel above for installation in the "Applications/Utilities" folder.

I am having problems exporting my time lapses from quick time pro i need to save my files as photo jpegs but the standard video compression window will not open fully,

i am having problems exporting my time lapses from quick time pro i need to save my files as photo jpegs but the standard video compression window will not open fully, it just keeps my mac (old 1.6Ghz 2.5 GB sdram G5 still good for most stuff i need) spinning for ever but i can see compression type H.264 selected and the other setting but i can not select any other options as it still thinking but never opens! why is this happening how do i get round it?
my work flow is: 300 images shot on a 5d mark II medium jpegs opened in Light Room cropped to 16:9 then exported and opened in quick time i can save a .mov H264 giving me files sizes of 14 mb for a 16 second time lapse, mp4 9 mb. the only way i can get large files is saving as a self contained movie then i get 300mb files.
i need to save my files 1920 x 1080 photo jpeg codec as i want HD quality.
i am sure there is a simple way round this?
thanks guys!

It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions.
