It takes 11 hours to convert to flv format from Quicktime

I edited a DV movie from camera using FCP and one hour final movie after adding all animations and effects in .mov format which was about 12 GB takes about 11 hours to be converted to flv format is this usual or I need to do some thing.
My system configuration is
Power PC G5
3500 MB RAM
1.1 TB hard disk.
I used Marcromedia Flash Encoder
OS Mac OS X 10.5.8
is there some thing that can be done to shorten the time as the compressor of FCP wont submit batch.That is an error I am getting in it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA47672?viewlocale=en_US
and any of the solution suggested above does not seems to work.
This post is not about compressor problem I had asked that on another thread
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2374397&tstart=0
but it says to install an old OS which is not some thing logical I feel to be able to use compressor I wont be downgrading my OS.
What I want to know is to be able to convert to flv from .mov format so much time is it a usual thing or some thing can be done to shorten it.

That's what I meant. You just need a good compression codec.
Can you help to identify or let me know a few codecs I will try.
Is FLV the only resource you streaming server will use?
Yes it has to be flv.The decision is not in my hands it will be a Linux Server so if you are aware of any better file format let me know.I can suggest.
You can use hardware compression systems to go directly to several different >low grade codecs but I've never used them.
I do not have any such hardware but anyways
thanks for this suggestion.

Converting to FLV format

Hi,
I am a church webmaster. I built a simple media player to put on my church website that will play an intro video from our pastor. I looked at the javafx media area on javafx.com and it says that the only cross-platform media is flv. I'm not in a position though too purchase a rather expensive program to conver my video file to flv. Are there any free(or cheaper) programs that can convert to flv format? I have one program that I used to convert my file converted to .flv, but when I try to play the video I get an exception that says the media format is not accepted, so I guess the OnFlix software doesn't convert to that .flv format. Any other programs?
By the way, the program that I used was AnyVideoConverter if anyone is familiar with that.

There are lot of video converters (just search the term in Google!), lot of them free. I think/guess lot of them just use FFmpeg behind the scene, officially [or not|http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/shame.html]. FFmpeg is a well known video converter, it supports flv output.
It is a command line tool, but there are several GUI around it, for example WinFF (you didn't indicated which system you use, I assume it is Windows...).
Another well known/reputed converter is SUPER, which uses FFmpeg and several other tools.

Can't convert to FLV format like I used to

I have a QuickTime Pro license and I am up-to-date. I used to be able to convert an avi file to flv format for use in Adobe Flash. Now I get an error saying "Wildform Flix Exporter encountered a problem. This version of Flix Exporter is not licensed to run under the current application." What's up with that? How do I now convert to FLV format? Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is the primary reason I upgraded to QuickTime Pro in the first place. Plus, I find trying to get to the right place to even ask this question to be extremely time consuming and frustrating. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

QuickTime Pro has never exported to Flash video without third party software.
Seems like your "Flix Exporter" ( http://www.on2.com/index.php?316 ) is that third party application.
Contact them for more answers.

Converting DVD Player format to QuickTime

How do you import a DVD into iMovie. When I try inserting my DVD (which is in regular DVD Player format), I can't get the iMovie to recognize the files. I'm assuming that I need to convert the DVD files to QuickTime or something, but I can't figure out how to do that either. Can someone help me PLEASE?

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Wow, you're a life saver...I really needed to figure that out...DVDxDV works like a charm!

Convert channel display format from time to numeric in a script

I am trying to convert the Display format of a channel that contains time values (mm/dd/yyyy hh:nn:ss.ffff) from Time to Numeric. I know I can do this in the properties section of the data portal but I would like to do it in a script. I want to be able to automatically convert it without having to manually do it each time I import new data. What syntax is needed for this?
I've already tried the ChnPropSet (and ChnPropValSet) commands but it doesn't change the Display format after I run the script. Thanks for all your help.
Solved!

Hi Steinmeister,
i've found a way. You can use the "ChnCalculate"-Function but you must store it to a new channel.
Dim oGrp, oChn
Dim sChn
'iterate over all channels
For Each oGrp In Data.Root.ChannelGroups
For Each oChn In oGrp.Channels
sChn = transformTimeChnToNum(oChn)
If (sChn <> "") Then
Call ChnCopy(oGrp.Name & "/" & sChn, oGrp.Name & "/" & oChn.Name)
Call ChnDel(oGrp.Name & "/" & sChn)
End If
Next
Next
'function for transforming the channel
Function transformTimeChnToNum(oChannel)
transformTimeChnToNum = ""
If (oChannel.DataType <> DataTypeChnDate) Then
Exit Function
End If
transformTimeChnToNum = oChannel.Name & "_num"
Call ChnCalculate("Ch(""" & oChannel.ChannelGroup.Name & "/" & transformTimeChnToNum & """)=Val(Ch(""" & oChannel.ChannelGroup.Name & "/" & oChannel.Name & """))")
End Function

Why does it take hours to download a rented movie from iTunes.

When I rent a movie or TV show from iTunes with my AppleTV (2), the download starts and I get a message saying the download will take an an hour and 45 minutes to download. Then when the download it complete and I start to play it, I get a message saying downloading - and the rental never starts.
My AppleTV (2) it running the latest version, and it's plugged directly into my router via ethernet. I have reset the Apple TV, router and modem.
Netflix and YouTube streaming through AppleTV are immediate and seem to work fine.

What is your actual internet speed? use www.speedtest.net and post the results.
A sustained 6 Mbit/s or faster Internet connection is recommended for viewing High Definition movies and TV shows, and a sustained 2.5 Mbit/s or faster Internet connection is recommended for Standard Definition content. Internet connection speeds may vary depending on your ISP and other factors.
Using Netflix or Youtuve is not a good test as Youtube is must lower quality than HD rentals, and Netflix uses a variable quality download system that reduces quality based on your internet speed.

No sound after converting to ipod format with quicktime

quicktime plays the unconverted file with sound just fine. after converting the video is fine but no sound. any help?

QT will not export sound from mpeg-1 or mpeg-2 files. Check you video before converting to see what the format really is. Open the video in the Player and use MovieInfo in the Window menu to check the format.
This freeware may help if they are mpeg files:

Audio plays too fast in Flash 8 FLV encoded from Quicktime MOV

I'm rendering out from VT4 (Newtek Video Toaster) to a
Quicktime MOV file that is re-encoded in the Flash 8 media encoder.
In the past I've used the 32 bit floating point audio format coming
out of VT4, which worked when playing just a MOV file. But now,
when re-encoding the MOV file in Flash 8, the audio runs fast, or
is maybe truncated somehow so it sounds that way.
I have several choices for a MOV audio format, is there one
that Flash 8 media encoder is 'wanting' to see?
Thanks,
TW

Flash player flv format

hi guys looking for some assistance,
I have lots of video files i wish to place in my website. These videos are all AVI format and i have been told this is too large for the web and it would be better to convert them, so off i went and purchased sony vegas and camtasia studio to do just this. Now im told flash is the best format for the web but i see no flv option in any of these applications (am i missing somthing). So i have the choice of mov, wmv or MPG4 so after trying them all looks like MPG4 is the best, however when i convert i end up with several files MPG4, SWF and an html so this is confusing me. Im kinda new to the Media side of things and would like some info. My videos range from 8 to 15 mins i wish them to be converted in such a way they will require a flash player to view can any one assist.
IF FLASH flv IS THE BEST FORMAT WHY DONT SONY VEGAS OR ANY OTHER CONVERT TO THIS......????????
Thank You

CONVERTING FINAL PRODUCT TO FLV FORMAT FOR ZMAG DIGITAL MAGAZINE

I am trying to get my final product into a flv format to send to my bosses to use on our new zmag online digital magazine. I have no clue how to export or convert my final product in final cut pro 6.0.1 to this type of file. I am able to do wmv, mov, avi etc. Can someone help me and explain how I can get my video into flv format?
Thank you sooo much!
Victoria

Smaller files typically equate to lower quality.
With that understanding, you'd lower the video and audio bit rates (trial & error) until you get the size file you want.
Consider Tony's suggestion of making a H.264 file and changing the file descriptor to .flv
H.264 is an excellent codec for internet distribution.

Converting .MOV video file into FLV format?

Hello, I finished editting a corporate video for client and they want to know if I can also send them an FLV format video.
Does anyone know how I can do this. I edited video in Final Cut Pro and used Compressor to export my final .mov video file.
How do I make this a FLV file?
Thanks~

The best method would be to use a Flash encoder to transcode the video. Do you have a Flash encoding application?
Another method would be to export an H.264 file of the video. When it's finished, change the file extension to .flv. It should play in later versions of Flash player, but won't play in older versions.

Why does it take hours to import mp4 files into iMovie

I have some home movies I imported from VHS-C and compressed to mp4 files and now I want to start going through them in iMovie but it takes hours just to import a single clip (~575 meg).
What can I do to speed this up? Would getting a Mac Pro with loads of RAM and CPU's help? Would converting to a different video format before I import work?
Right now I have all this video I converted to digital and thus far spent days just importing and haven't been able to do anything with it yet!
I'm using an iMac core duo with 2 gig RAM and the upgraded video card (best one they had at the time).
Any help is appreciated!

This worked fine for me, was exactly what I wanted.
1 - Create the project in iMovie HD and then save and close.
2 - Locate the file on your computer. Ctrl-click on the file and it will say "show package contents". Click on that.
3 - You will then see some folder items inside that. Open up "Media" and then drag and drop your mpeg file into it.
4 - When you reopen the project, you will be notified that there are files in your trash. You want to view them to find the file you just moved there.
5 - Take that file and drag it back onto the project and you're in.
A major blessing!
