Mov to avi file /compression

I've created a movie with Quicktime using "File->Reading Sequence" and after "Save". So I got a .mov file. Is it possible to convert it to a .avi file and to perform also some compressions so that it doesn't take to much harddisk space? Is it possible with Quicktime or do we need to use another program?

Quicktime can export to AVI...It's under Export.
Mpeg-Streamclip can also convert to AVI. Mpeg-Streamclip will give you more codec options.

And it's free!

How do I get my home movies and avi files to play on my ipad 3?

How do I get my home movies and avi files to play on my ipad 3?

1) Download a third party player on the iPad, such as avplayerhd or cinexplayer. Search app store for AVI and read some reviews.
2) Convert the files in a program such as handbrake, mpegstreamclip on the pc and import them.
3) Download air video from the app store, install the server software on the pc and stream away.
Take your pick.

HT204382 what software do i need to play movies on avi file . have connected a external memory disk and all the movies are in avi format.

What software do i need to install in order to be able
to play movies in .avi format.

files are in .avi format.
Ansver i get : does not support

VLC is a good choice. While I don't know if it will play your files, Perian is a helper app for Quicktime which allows you to play a lot of things in the Quicktime Player.
There is also Flip4Mac which allows you to play windows media files in Quicktime.
Finally, note that the extension on a video file doesn't really tell you what you need to play it. The .avi, .mpg, etc. is only the wrapper around the actual video. The video is encoded by some means and needs to be decoded. The video inside the .avi can be encoded in one of many different schemes.
VLC, Perian, Flip4Mac, and many others, are all able to decode various flavors of encoding. Having all of those in your toolbox will help to allow you to play most of the things you'll find.

PSE 11 won't play MOV or AVI files

Attempting to open up movie files MOV or AVI, PSE 11 quits working and has to be force quit
Any help welcome.

I'm on Mac
Thanks but I'm confused.
I just want to organize stuff, not anything else, so I just need to see what's in the video file and also have a thumbnail for it. The video files are all grayed out; clicking on them brings up a player but nothing plays and PSE 11 quits working.
I don't think that's what should be happening.
If I remember right in PSE 9 you could at least view the videos?

CONVERT MOV TO AVI FILES STATICY!!

I tried converting .mov files to .avi files so I could use them in Windows Media Maker. Is there something I should be doing properly in the Settings Option?
No matter what I do, it is always very staticy, and not comming out properly. I want an exact replica of the movie, just change it to .mov to .avi so I can use it in Windows Media Maker.
Please help!!

Export to AVI.
Click the "Options" button to open a new dialog window.
Click the "Settings" button to change the video codec.
Use DV codec for best file quality.

MOV and AVI Files - Rendering Every Clip In The Timeline

This is just a quick query really. When I try and add certain .mov and .avi footage into final cut express 3.5, the timeline requires the clips to be rendered fully. It also requires a render every time you move the clip or add a transition etc.
If for example I wanted to make a fan film using footage from another source, how would I go about this - it seems very time consuming considering every single shot needs to be fully rendered every time I move it / edit it.

FCE is a resolution specific editing application. It edits DV or HD using the Apple Intermediate Codec. Anything else needs to be converted to one of these formats. It's usually best to convert your media to the correct format before bringing it into FCE.

Most of the .mov and .AVI files doesn't play anymore with QT 7 or 10

I'm running OS 10.7.5 and most of the .mov files that were generated with Quicktime 7 doesn't play anymore, except in VLC.
I used QT7 because it can still crop and edit videos, instead of QT 10 that came with the system.
QT7 has a also a very nice feature that allow to reset the image ratio, which is sometime very usefull.
I shall say that videos came from a digital recorder I used to tape the TV and those files came as .AVI
Anyway, overnight (probably after an update of iTunes or any part of the system) QT 7 nor 10 can play those files anymore !
Each time I try to open a file with QT it says I need a codec, and leads to the DIVX download page, but installing this codec doesn't solve my problem.
QT7 was a very fine software and worked until now.
Why an update makes my system go backward ??!?
I'm a huge fan of Apple, but that is not acceptable !!!
It just makes me want to purchase on older mac and go back to 10.6 !!!
Shame on you Apple !

Indeed, a further search on the side lead me to this page :
http://perian.org/
and now it works again !
I still don't get how an update could change the system like this.
Anyway, thanks for the reply

Exporting .mov to .avi file: computer crashes

I'm trying to export a .mov file to .avi. I get about 80% through this and my computer crashes. I'm guessing it's because my memory can't handle it (have got 512MB SDRAM only), but I might be wrong about this. The .mov file originally came in a zipped file, so perhaps in the unzipping I've overlooked something. Does anyone have any ideas?
With thanks

"zipped file"?
Some type of "torrent" download of copyrighted material?

Importing a VLC movies from .avi files into iMovie

I have a camera that records in .avi and I watch them on my Mac with VLC.
Is there a way to import these video clips into iMovie. I do not seem to be doing it correctly.
Thanks for any help.

Hi megrove,
You may need to convert the .avi clips to another format. The free program MPEG Streamclip can convert most formats. It's downloadable from this site: http://www.squared5.com/
It's best to convert to AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec). This is the format that iMovie automatically converts compressed files to when importing from cameras or camera archives, for example, AVCHD .mts files. The conversion process expands the compressed files into full frames suitable for editing by iMovie. MPEG Streamclip will do this conversion for you, allowing the exported AIC file to be easily imported to iMovie without further conversion.
MPEG Streamclip can also convert files to the H.264 format, which also works nicely with iMovie '09.

Can not import avi files into pse12 catalog

I am wondering if any one else is having an issue with importing avi (video files from my Nikon D5000) into the PSE 12 catalog.
Running windows 7 SP1 with all updates.
Camera is a Nikon D5000
file type is AVI
Every time I go to import an avi file (either from my SD card or from my HDD) organizer comes up with the message that it has stopped working and windows is looking for a solution.
I do not shoot much video so it is not a large concern but it used to work in previous versions of PSE.
Any and all help with this issue is appreciated.

Ray
In many instances, a utility software will be bundled in with the camera purchase. Installing that utility software might bring along with it codecs that are needed to work with the video on the computer and in the program. If you do not see or have such a utility software, so much for that idea. If you go after this from the MotionJPEG codec angle, the Morgan MotionJPEG codec has been available online as tryout (later purchase).
http://www.morgan-multimedia.com/morgan/php/products.php?sProductId=5&sProductSub=download s
See
M-JPEG-2000 Codec v3 (32 bit and 64 bit) and the associated tab for "Download - trial/demo".
But, could you clarify on
As soon as I move the avi file off of the sd card the import works.
Given you have the .avi file on the SD card, what is the path to the point where the import works?
That is, where are you moving the .avi file to as it leaves the SD card? Surely not to the hard drive since you wrote.
Also if I go to my hard drive where I saved the avi file and try to import it all by itself, it fails.
I wonder if you are saying that you take it through a route which includes the Video Importer.
Thanks for the follow ups.

Flash CS5 default template presentation (advanced) modify to play as .mov or .avi

I am using the default template for presentation (advanced version) to do my presentation. However, I want to create a .mov or avi from this default template whereby the frames within the "Slides MovieClip" play automatically (in a .mov or .avi file) as opposed to using the keyboard or the buttons to change frames (as in a swf).

Many thanks so much for reading. Would appreciate any help.

You need to change the code in the EVENTS section. It curently has event listeners assigned to the stage and some buttons for calling the functions that change the slides. What you could do is get rid of that event listener code and implement a Timer that calls the fl_nextSlide() function.
I do not know what to answer as far as making it into an avi or mov file. My impression with creating video files from Flash files is that the design needs to be timeline-based for that to happen (meaning it needs to play frame-by-frame along the timeline).

Importing AVI file into iMovie

I converted an .m4v file (13m31s long) to an .avi file so I can import it into iMovie for editing. All of this completed, I opened iMovie, went File > Import > Movies > ___.avi file. It showed the importing progress, and once it was completed nothing showed up anywhere! I tried 3 times, restarted my computer, updated iMovie, NOTHING! Please help :[

Yes I did try to import the .m4v file first. I used Prism to convert the video file to AVI. I am not entirely sure how to answer your question about the codec, but I believe it is an MPEG-4 ?
