M4v  to .mov conversion

I just purchased the rose bowl summary on itunes. can i convert it to a .mov file?
thanks
jim

The protected files can't be imported into iMovie (I guess you tried) and can't be "shared". It's part of the purchase agreement at the ITMS.
A 320X240 file will not look very good when played back on a TV.
It was a very good game. Maybe the trainer can get some other source of video that can be edited in iMovie.

  • Why does my mac turn my downloaded movies into .m4v and move it to the desktop?

    For about 4 or 5 months now I have had this problem. When I doenload a picture to my macs download file the computer converts the file to .m4v and moves it to the desktop, deleting the original download. Why? I dont know what I may have downloaded, it's been a while since this started.Thanks.

    Why?  Because you told it to.
    Remove whatever folder action you installed on your Downloads folder.  Right-click the folder, Services >> Folder Actions Setup.
    If there's no folder action, then some piece of software you installed and have running is camping on your Downloads folder and doing the conversion.
    Don't bother claiming you didn't... computer software isn't magic.  The machine didn't just decide to do this one day.

  • Artifacts in Using Save As for AVI to MOV Conversion?

    When I SAVE AS a compressed avi file to mov, I am seeing artifacts (they look like interlacing errors) in the final mov file, vs the same frames in the .avi file.  Can I avoid this somehow?  The avi file was compressed with the BlackMagic Intensity code (I think it's motion jpg too).
    The file sizes are the same.
    Bummer, I bought Quicktime Pro just for this.  Any help appreciated.
    Thanks

    Can anyone here tell me why two duplicate laptops treat the avi-to-mov conversion so differently and why I must export at 480p?
    As to QT playback, either the codec component configuration is different on each system or the the AVI file contains a legacy video codec that is turned on for system "A" but left off for system "B" but which is included in the Perian bundle installed on system "B." With reguard to the forced conversion rather than a simple "Save As..." action, please confirm the video codec name given in the "Inspector" window for each system. I suspect that either the video codec is different on each system or that the Perian version of the same codec with a different name may be forcing the "Export" conversion.

  • Ipages converting videos m4v to mov?

    I created an epub book using iPages and imported m4v video files into the epub. I can upload the ebook to my ipad. Then when I tried to upload it to iBookstore using iTunes, iTunes complains that the video files are mov and not m4v and would not validate the file.
    Looking at the epub book, I can see that all the videos are now mov files.
    How do I prevent iPages from converting them from m4v to mov and allow to validate the epub?

    Thanks for the link.
    The video does not say why when I add a video.m4v video to my pages document and export it to epub, it becomes video.mov.
    I would appreciate if you could explain that.
    Thanks.

  • Slow Movie Conversion  5th Gen I-POD

    Up to now, the movie conversion rate on my I-POD was rather quick. 3-4 minutes for a 25 meg Quicktime movie approximately. Now it takes a better part of a day to convert one, I get so disgusted I usually stop it before it gets halfway done. My music conversions are still as quick as ever (15-20 secs per song). Any ideas? This happened it seemed overnite. I have about 6 meg of music/movies on my 30meg pod. Thanks for any advice.

    My view of this is that the conversion takes place on the computer, before it is sync'd to the iPod. It may be a problem on your PC. How much disc space do you have on your computer? If you are low, or there are a number of other programs running at the time, it would affect the processor coverting the movie.

  • Converting .m4v to .mov for NLEs

    I have been given an .m4v video file that was created on a Mac with Final Cut Pro. I need to edit the file on my PC; I can play the file in QuickTime 7 Player on the PC but cannot import the file into any of my editing programs (Avid Media Composer v3, Adobe Premiere CS3, After Effects CS3) nor any of my conversion software (Sorensen Squeeze v5, etc.). So, I upgraded to QuickTime Pro figuring I should be able to use it to convert the file to a .mov or some other more "standard" format. I have tried every flavor of .mov (uncompressed, Avid DV Codec, etc.) and other file types as well (.avi, etc.) but everything I export fails to import into my editing applications.
    Does anybody have any advice for either directly importing an .m4v in Avid or using QuickTime Pro to convert to a format I can then import? Thanks.

    Does anyone know how I can batch convert them into .mov files? 
    No actual conversion is required unless you actually wish to re-compress the files. A bigger question would be whether or not the files contain AC3, chapter, and/or caption tracks. If so, then use QT Pro ($30) to first delete the extraneous data tracks and then use the "Save As..." option to save the H.264/AAC data tracks to an MOV file container. (NOTE: QT Pro can "parallel" process your files but not batch process them -- i.e., you can open a second, third, fourth, etc. file and start work on them while other files are being saved.)
    If the MP4 or M4V file only containes H.264/AAC or MPEG-4/AAC tracks, then you can use MPEG Streamclip (free) to batch process them. Simply open the "Batch List" window, drop one or more files to the "Batch List" window, select the "Save As" option, make sure you do not select "Join" files in the next window, designate a target location for the new files, and press the "Go" button when the files are listed to the "Batch List" window.

  • In Thunderbird while trying to move conversation results to an archive folder; if some of the results are already in the folder it will not move any.

    Hi. I often use the conversation search option when archiving my emails from inbox. I find this a very useful method of finding trails where I and multiple people have responded to each other. However If I have already moved one or more of these emails into the archive folder and select all to move, Thunderbird will not move any. I then need to individually select those that need to be moved.
    Although not a major issue I use this regularly and often come across the problem. a recent fix which allows location tab to remain on in search helps but does not resolve this issue. A slightly annoying problem and I was wondering if any one else has this issue. Also is anyone looking into a solution?

    FCPx answer: At least the answer that worked for me...
    I had the same problem, as I believe many others had.
    In my case the problem was with one of OSX Mavericks' new features: APP NAP.
    It looks like this is ON by DEFAULT for ALL Applications and that FCPx, or Compressor for that matter, will not work if this is enabled on them.
    I just disabled App Napp on FCPx and now it works, again, like a charm.
    This is how you disable App Nap: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57612009-263/how-to-disable-app-nap-in-os-x -mavericks/

  • Can't import .mov or .m4v to movie library

    When I try to share my Quicktime movie with iTunes it appears in music as a  .m4v but not in movies.  Audio plays fine but there is no video.
    I have tried creating the .m4v via the menu and short cut icon from QT.  I have tried using import to library and drag and drop to get the file into iTunes.
    I've also tried importing as a .mov but no joy with this either.
    The movie is a home recording.  Edited in FCE and then exported as a QT movie.
    I am running OSX 10.7.5, QT Player 10.1 and iTunes 11.0.4
    Any ideas?

    If you export from Keynote as a QuickTIme file, make sure to choose Timed Advance, not Manual Advance. iMovie will not import a manual advance track.

  • Help with Automator Script for QuickTime Pro Movie Conversion from Vado

    All my videos from my Creative Vado do not show up in iMovie 09 initially on import. By trial and error, I have discovered that the old version of QuickTime Pro 7 ($29.95) will convert them to .mov files that can be seen by iMovie 09 once the converted videos are imported back into iPhoto.
    I am (very) new to mac things, and it looks like in theory I could use Automator to handle to conversion process, and perhaps even the re-import into iPhoto. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about this? Where would be a good site to post this as a project that I could pay some one to help me, provide an automator script/workflow?
    Are any other solutions available? Buy Final Cut etc?
    PS (Rant): One of the reasons I bought a MacBook Pro and iLife was to take advantage of what I thought was supposed to be Apple's superior multimedia handling. It seems ludicrous to me that with a MacBook Pro running the latest software (10.6.4), and using the latest versions of iLife, I'd have to buy an old version of QuickTime to convert my videos so that I could manipulate them in iMovie. Sigh.

    MPeg Stram clip will export files which are compatible with iMovie '09. It (iMovie )can import the following.
    DV
    AIC
    Motion-JPEG
    Photo-JPEG
    MPEG-4 (Supported profiles)
    H.264 (Supported profiles)
    Apple Animation (Movie '09 only)
    Apple Video (iMovie '09 only)
    iMovie '08/'09 will not accept files containing extraneous data tracks such as:
    'Tween
    Text
    Chapter
    Closed Caption
    Secondary audio such as AC3
    etc.
    iMovie '08/'09 Will not accept files that rely on proprietary/third-party components such as
    DivX
    WMV
    XviD
    etc.

  • .vob to.mov Conversion

Are there any other software recomendations that I can use for converting .vob files to quicktime media .mov files that is more effecient?

  • Differences between ".m4v" and ".mov"

    iMovie can post straight to mobileme or export a movie as a quicktime file. In the first case iMovie creates a ".m4v" file while exporting a quicktime it creates a ".mov" file. I might be wrong but it seems to me that the ".mov" is bigger than the equivalent ".mov" and I wonder what are the differences. Is the "mov" better than "m4v"?

    I might be wrong but it seems to me that the ".mov" is bigger than the equivalent ".mov" and I wonder what are the differences. Is the "mov" better than "m4v"?
    M4V, MP4, and MOV are simply containers. The same compressed H.264/AAC data can be contained in each.
    M4V - The M4V file container is used exclusively for H.264/AAC content either protected or unprotected. Limited use of other data tracks can also be found in this container such as "Chapter" or "alternate audio" tracks. This container can also be associated with external graphic data as normally seen in iTunes when "Artwork" is added. By default, this container normally opens in iTunes when double-clicked.
    MP4 - The MP4 file is much like the MP4 file container but may additionally hold MPEG4/AAC data as the primary video/audio compression format. It too may contain supplemental data tracks or be associated with external "Artwork" but, by default, opens in the QT player.
    MOV - The MOV file container is a generic file container which may contain up to 99 tracks of any valid audio, video, text, "Chapter", "Tween", ""Timecode", "sprite", etc. form of data. It cannot be associated with external "Artwork" but, like M4V and MP4, can have a designated "poster" frame. Any valid file saved using the "Save As..." File option is automatically placed in the MOV file container by default regardless of its original compression format and file container type.
    While there are "internal" differences, all three containers have the same basic purpose. It is likely these differences which you see when comparing "file size" even when the actual compressed audio and video data is exactly the same within the container.

  • Mpeg streamclip avi to mov conversion settings for Final Cut Pro

    Some help please.
    I have just started to attempt to edit some avi files on the latest FCP, and for one reason or another, I'm having trouble converting the AVI files to MOV files in Streamlip, I have tried quite a few variations, but with very little joy. When i try to import a recently created MOV file into my FCP project, it either has no audio or both video and audio need rendering once placed on the timeline.
    When I try to play the created MOV on QuickTime, again, there is no sound.
    I was just wondering if someone would be kind enough to tell me the exact Streamclip AVI -> MOV settings they have used to combat this problem, or simply just tell me where I'm going wrong.
    Hugely appreciated.

    Hi again,
    I have spent the last few hours trying all different types of variations of conversion, but with no lukc.
    Thanks for the tutorial link, but the problem isn't that I don't understand how to use Streamclip. i just don't know which video and audio settings to use to create a .MOV file that will provide me with audio. This seems to be my major problem so far. Audio isn't even present when I view the .MOV clip in quicktime.
    I have tried DV - PAL, H.264, Apple Motion Jpeg A, Apple DVCPRO - PAL etc etc, none with any success. It may be the way I'm trying to compress the audio, but I'm pretty sure that I've now tried everything!
    I simply need to know a good conversion and compression setting that will at the very least allow me to play the video with audio in QT. once I have that, I don't mind rendering the audio in FCP as it takes no time at all to do.
    Cheers!

  • 3D Movie Conversion

    Hi! I have a HD 3D .mkv file of a movie, it currently stants in 7.62GB. It's playing well on my Samsung SmarTV using a USB pen-drive (only had to format to NTFS). However, about half-way through the movie, it stops. Aditionally, I cannot rewind of fast foward. The 3D is horizontal and flawless, just perfect.
    What I need to do is convert this file to another format, I'd prefer H.264 with AAC .m4v but I cannot seem to find a video converter that is both free and supports 3D. Any thoughts?

    Ok, so I learned that side-by-side 3D movies are just that, side-by-side images. Any video converter works. I just used Handbrake and it was perfect.

  • M4v or mov?

    Fellas,
    Making a movie with iMovie 08. I wonder what's the diff between m4v and a mov file. I've long been using mov, and putting the settings at best or near best quality. The mov file is about 6X the size as the m4v, but they both look the about same on TV after burning on iDVD. Am I seeing things? What's the diff?

    "If it's going to be DVD-Video, then exporting a QuickTime Movie (self-contained or reference) is what you'll need for authoring in iDVD or DVD-SP. You do NOT want to use MPEG-4 because you'll only be adding more compression to the video."
