Merging two quicktime videos

Can i merge two or more videos into one long streaming video? I like to take videos of my nephew and cousins of the toddler variety but you end up with these 5 minute little videos. I was thinking about getting quicktime pro but wanted to make sure I would be able to edit the videos with quicktime pro and if I could stick one video onto the end of another.

There are threads here and over in 10.6.x forum as well as Mac related news sites about youtube, flash, plug-ins, itunes, etc performance. QuickTime doesn't surprise me.
There are also some problems with anything that requires Rosetta.
The main reason for getting 3 x 1GB RAM is usually to upgrade on your own later, hopefully cheaper, but I'd play 3GB as very minimal for this system or for 10.6.
The same behavior on same machine but running Windows 7 isn't seen, so it is Mac OS, even though iTunes and QT are mainly single threaded, not optimized, and audio tries to and tends to cause excessive cpu usage.
Don't think Apple 'says' much and someday there may be "improves compatibility and performance" is all that gets listed in software updates, you know?

How many Quicktime videos can be place on an IWeb page?

I'm having problems placing more than two Quicktime videos on a page at a time. Suggestions are welcome. Thanks

You really don't want more than one "movie" on a page for this reason:
Each file will download when the page is opened. This waste bandwidth (you pay for it) and wastes the time of your visitors.
One little neat way to have hundreds (thousands if you wanted) of QuickTime formatted files served from your page would be to use QuickTime Media Link files (.qtl). These are text based files that really point to another QuickTime file stored on your server.
They can be made from any app that exports to QuickTime formats.

One of mine as an example.
No wasted bandwidth and extra features in your file to boot!

Can I synchronize and playback two different quicktime videos?

I have some quicktime video from my iphone that I would like to view side-by-side on my computer using Quicktime. Is there a way to have two separate quicktime movies play back synchronized so that if I stop one video, it stops the other? I also want to be able to go frame-by-frame and have both movies stay in lock step.
Basically I am trying to analyze my golf swing. I have a good swing and a bad swing on video with the same club and I have pretty consistent tempo. I want to be able to play back both swings and see if I can figure out what I am doing in one, but not the other.
I tried to search for this but without success. Thanks for any advice on how to do this. I am using QTPro 7.7.1 on Windows 7 Professional

Well, both frame rates should be the same since the video was taken on my iPhone 4s
"Should be?" I tend to use camcorders rather than mobile phones for video recording. In the past I have found the frame rates less than consistent. However, I do not have an iPhone 4S and so I have no personal experience in this area. In the past the iPhone usually described the recording frame rate as "up to 30 fps." The iPhone 4S says "at 30 fps" so maybe they have improved frame rate consistency—but I'll still stick to a camcorder.
When I trimmed the files I also did a "save as" and not just a save so I don't know what else I should have done prior to merging the files.
Basically, I have found that a frame rate of 29.97 (NTSC) trimmed randomly from two separate files can vary in frame alignment due to the variations in the location of the dropped frame used to average the frame rate to a non-integer value. In addition, the presence of a timecode track in one of the files to be merged can also create synchronization problems depending on your specific work flow. (I.e., in such cases I normally create an new player, copy the file without a timecode track, and then extract the secondary video track for merging to the "new" player or re-compress trimmed files so they have common start start frame and drop frame points.) There may may be other potential problems but these are the most common ones for me.
Here is an example of one of my "comparison" files. In this case, I am comparing an H.264 track video track against a ProRes 4-2-2 video track containing the same material.

How to merge two movies documents into 1 in iTunes?

Can anyone tell me how to merge two movies documents into one in iTunes? Sorry maybe this is an easy and dumb question for you, but I have totally no idea. I download some movies in Windows and use Kigo Video Coverter to converte them into mp4 format. So I can watch it through new Apple TV in my big screen TV. Now I am thinking maybe I can upgrade my experience a bit more. Because some movies are downloaded into 2 or 3 separated document and I have to choose and click them while seeing. Is there any software can merge those separated documents into one single in mp4 format? I wish you could give me several to choose . Freeware is better. Thanks in advance.

Thanks. I've tried simplemovies application but it seems too much complicated for me. I read some passages online and bought Quicktime Pro ($30) and finally link 2 mp4 documents together. So easy. Only issue is I have to pay $ 30 .

How to merge two storage drives into one partition-help

THis is on an iPad-Please excuse for any typos
I Am working on a project of restoring a macbook pro from old parts that I found. It works!!! But the HDD that i salvadged is ancient and gets about .15 MBPS. Not good. Its an apple certified and apple branded toshiba HDD-500G at 5400RPM. Yeah. *****
I am considering buying a new hard drive as a 480GB SSD, and using OWC's Data doubler, adding a second HDD, for all the photos and vids i will be collecting through my work in video and photo. I am considering getting an SSHD (SSD+HDD in an SSD form factor) and using this as the second drive. its not much more expensive (like 10$ more) and itgetsme semi-SSD like performance on a mass scale of storage.
HOw can I combine these two drives into ONE partition? 480GB will take awhile to fill up, but this is a future proof wall to use.
I Will eventually invest in an external storage option (2-3 HDDS in one caddy for backups and storing 1080p video all under one roof. depends if the board im using actually has thunderbolt or usb that is fast enough-because of the crappy hdd i cant get it to boot into an OS or go through usb recovery without it freezing. I ahve tried re-applying thermal paste, still doesnt help)
HOw can i easily partition these two drives into one?
also, my friend needs a new HDD because bootup times in his macbook pro are at like 2 mins+ and hes running Core 2 Duo, with 8 G ram and 10.9 (Mav) should i recommend an SSHD or an ssd. (He doesnt want an HDD, hes had bad 'voodoo' with em'. Thanks!

Play dvd or quicktime video spread over multiple monitors

Okay, I have a Mac Pro with a 512mb ati radeon with 2x 20" monitors hooked up to it via DVI. What I want to do is watch a DVD or quicktime video spread over both monitors. Not just full screen on one of them, but spread all the way over both so that the center of the video appears in cross of the two monitors. anyone know of anyway or software to do this?

I am not sure about software options...it might work with a hardware device like this, depending on your graphics card capability:

Now, if you strech the video across both monitors, how can you multi-task and get any work done???

Roll two Quicktime players at once?

Hi! I'm wondering if there is a way to cue two QuickTime players to roll at the same time... I would like to compare two videos side by side and how well they time and match. Its very hard when I have a 1/2 to 1 second delay because I have to roll one, and then the other... I can do this with other methods, but it would be really nice if I could just open both videos into Quicktime, and roll them together, quick and easy...
Thanks!

Awesome, thanks! Never realized it was right there in front of my face!
Ok, next issue... is it possible to link this across multiple computers?? Roll one clip from one laptop, another from another laptop, and have them run at the same time?

Saving Quicktime videos from the web?

I downloaded quicktime pro because I wanted to save other quicktime videos off the web. But it turns out I can only save one or two.
Is there a way to save the other videos?

Exactly what is happening when you are trying to save the other videos? Need details.
Please post the link/URL of the video website for others to check for you.
If you are trying to download streaming videos, make sure QT streaming settings are enabled.

How do I backup Quicktime videos to DVD?

For some reason, my digital camera records movies in quicktime format. I also recently purchased an iPad and I have started taking short home videos on that as well. I want to back these movies up onto a DVD (or by any other method that people might suggest) but for some reason I cannot burn the quicktime videos. My main reason for wanting to do this is to preserve the movies (they are movies of my kids that we'll want to watch many years from now, long after my computer and iPad are dead). The second reason is to free up space on the iPad.
An alternative question would be: What is the best way to backup home video to preserve them (forever) and free up space on my devices?

Buy an external hard drive and copy the files to that. It will be cheaper in the long run than burning to DVD, a lot easier and faster to do, and optical media can go bad with time. If this is the only copy of these movies, buy two drives because hard drives can suddenly die on you too.
Look into gettting something like the http://newertech.com/products/voyager_index.php which lets you use multiple bare drives for archiving purpurses rather than having to buy multiple enclosures.

Joining or merging two movie files

If I want to join or merge two movie files (.m4v) into one, can I use one of the included applications on my iMac (iMovie, QuickTime, etc) or do I need a 3rd party app? If so, could you recommend one please?
Thanks!

On a related note-
I have imported my "Das Boot" onto my drive, so I don't have to pull out my CD's. Food for thought before I go on any further - the files show up as ".dvdmedia". Since this version is the uncut 4 hr long version it is on two different CD's which converted into two files. How do I, if possible, make these into one file? I also have and am planning to import "Ben Hur". I tried to use iMovie (I have iLife 09') and it said I needed to "upgrade" to iMovie 3 (no luck with that one).
Any legal suggestions?

Authoring: Links from and to QuickTime video?

(Sorry for the long post, trying to explain in detail what I’m looking for ...)
Here is something I would like to do - maybe you guys can tell me if this is possible using QuickTime (I will not be doing this myself, but I need to know if QuickTime is the way to go).
1) Embed several videos/audio files using the QuickTime plug-in in an HTML page, with the usual playback controls.
2) Place links or form elements (buttons) in the page to those videos, allowing (via JavaScript/DOM) to
a) play, pause and jump to a specific (SMPTE) position in a QuickTime video.
b) loop a section of the video (by giving two positions and a loop command)
c) change audio volume.
3) Have links from those videos to the page/DOM - i.e., when once video is running, JavaScript events should be sent to the page to hide/load/update content; either automatically or user-driven (by clicking on the embedded video at a certain time - if possible, with hotspots so multiple options can be triggered; similar to a DVD menu).
I’d like to do the same with audio. So I am basically looking for a mechanism to link to and from real-time content.
Is this possible?
What authoring/editing tools would be required?
And I have another question regarding workflow, because this will not be a one-man show.
The scenario for producing this stuff (e-learning) will/should be something like this:
- Person A records video and audio, does a little post production, delivers media/files (DV, MP3).
- Person B batch-converts the videos to MOV format (using whatever tool), but doesn’t do any creative work.
- Person C with some HTML/JavaScript knowledge and a stopwatch builds the page, embeds the OV file(s) and sets the cues that will jump to certain positions. HTML pages and MOV files are uploaded to a plain-vanilla HTTP server.
Is this a realistic scenario? Is it possible to "remote-control" QuickTime movies without having to fiddle with authoring tools once the actual video is finished?
I would appreciate your comments. Also, if the above is possible, I’d be grateful for links to showcase sites.
Thank you.

Glad I could be of any hepl.
I found a way to put together the video and audio, I don't know if it's the smartest, but it works:
- change the .ogg in mp3 (with your audio editing programme of your choice, including D-Vision)
- in QuickTime Pro open the avi and the mp3; select the whole mp3 file; copy it.
- go to the avi file in QuickTime and choose "Edit > add to movie".
- save the resulting movie as your format of choice.
If you need a DivX file, you can save in QuickTime as mov, then use Toast 7 to build a DivX.
I know, long and twisted way... If you find a smarter one, let me know.

I have not got quicktime on my desktop pc - I have not loaded any plugins for quicktime - so why does one play and not the other? - and how can I get the other to play please?
(I have updated my graphics driver )

Are Forums any good? - whenever I post I always end up having to answer my own question eventually! - aaah well, anyway for the benefit of anyone interested I suspect it is flash player in firefox browser that is playing the MP4's and perhaps it cannot cope with the higher resolution format.

After Effects warning: couldn't set Quicktime video output display mode

After Effects warning: couldn't set Quicktime video output display mode
I'm getting this error when exporting video from after effects. I also get it when the program starts up. I'm using Windows XP. Cannot find anything about a fix anywhere. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks for your reply. I profess ignorance regarding the GDI only mode and have no idea how to access that. Can you give me a little more info on that?
I am using an ATI Radeon HD 3850. I have two monitors on that card, Monitor one is a Trinitron HP 1130 CRT.(set to 1280x1024 16bit) The other is DVI wide screen Ilo 26 inch monitor. (1024x768 at 32 bit)
I have a BlackMagic Design DECKLINK standard definition broadcast card which outputs component video to a sony broadcast Beta deck. 480ix720 standard video.
The machine has a gigabyte motherboard. Intel Core 2 quad cpu 2.66 ghz
2.50 gb ram reported (4gigs installed)
These hasn't been a major issue as I can still output AVI uncompressed but it is annoying.

Quicktime video does not display?

I have designed several sites that have Quicktime videos but they do not play. Does Quicktime not work on the iPhone? The videos on Apple were the only ones online that we were able to play.

iPhone uses HS214 video format. See the technical specification. You need to convert any movie format to this format(m4). There are programs available for that, try vailsoft or something..
