Movie importing problems (won't accept quicktime .mov files)
I have tried to import several movies, three of which are edited off of final cut pro and two which are dowloaded quicktime movies. I get the pop-up which says "Some of the videos in you iTunes library, including the video "Movie", were not copied to the iPod "My iPod" because they cannot be played on this iPod." Every one of the movies has been converted into a quicktime movie and is a .mov file, which accoring to the web-site should be easily played on the iPod? Anyone know what I can do?
Even tho the files are.mov they also have to be a certain fps size (Frame Per Second). here is the exact details on what iPod supports best in the format you have
MPEG-4
File formats: .m4v, .mp4, and .mov
Video: Up to 2.5 Mbits/sec, 480 x 480, 30 fps, Simple Profile.
Audio: AAC-LC up to 160 kbits/sec, 48 Khz, stereo audio.
More details can be found here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302758#11

Pro Tools files imported to FCP X causing QuickTime movie problem
Well 2 days later and hours on the phone with Apple tech support Senior Advisors, and problem still not solved. HELP.
Everything works fine in FCP X, but when I create the QuickTime movie, it is way out of sync (by many seconds).
We have isolated the problem to audio files that I am exporting to Pro Tools, processing, and then importing back into FCP X. I can create a QuickTime movie with the original video/audio and it is fine.
Information
The original video came from Canon HF M40 camcorder: AVCHD (using MPEG4-AVC / H.264 compression codec), MTS format. Audio is 48kHz, 24 bits.
I used ClipWrap to rewrap the video into ProRes 422 and decompress the audio and save as LPCM.
I simply provide this FYI. As I said earlier, the original video works fine and the resulting QuickTime movie works fine. So the original files imported into the FCP project are not the problem.
The creation of the problem audio occurs as follows:
- Detach the original audio from the original video, and export
- Import this audio into a 48.0 kHz/16-bit Pro Tools HD session and EQ/limit the audio
- Import the resulting audio into FCP X (exact same length file, audio waveforms aligned with the original audio).
This audio works fine in FCP. It is in sync with the video, everything looks great.
I ran Pro Tools at 16-bits because a senior advisor told me FCP runs at 16-bits but does not convert imported stand-alone audio (as opposed to combined video/audio) to 16-bits; thus the Pro Tools session had to be at 16-bits. I changed from 24-bits to 16-bits, and this didn't solve the problem. (FYI, when Pro Tools imports the original audio exported from FCP, it says the audio is 24-bits, not 16-bits).
What is the problem?
The basic question is why does this audio cause QuickTime a problem?
Something is going on in the conversion to the QT movie. In FCP X, I don't have a way to play with the conversion variables except to set "Video and Audio" and "Use current settings" (which is ProRes 422).
The only difference I see between the original audio and the Pro Tools audio is that the original audio is stereo and Pro Tools works with dual mono files (L & R). The mono files work fine in FCP and I can't imagine why QT would have a problem with these, but I haven't tried converting the files to stereo before importing into FCP.
I should also mention that I selected the stabilization and roll correction algorithms in FCP. I assume these don't create problems in QT. I mention this because I didn't use them when I tested making a QT movie with the original video/audio files.
FCP and Pro Tools are used together all the time to do exactly what I am doing......improve the sound of the original audio. They are the premier video and audio professional programs. Of course, the final product is often not a QuickTime movie, but many times it is a QT movie.
What the heck is going on???
HELP.(1) It is immediately out of sync. It even appears to be speeded up to me initially, but this is subjective. But it is clearly out of sync throughout, not a gradual drift.
(2) When I create the audio files in the Pro Tools session, the files are automatically stored in the audio folder of the Pro Tools session. So I don't actually have to go through an export process. I just close the Pro Tools session, then open FCP X and import the audio from the Pro Tools folder.
I'm not sure what additional specifications you seek, other than:
- wav files
- sample rate = 48 kHz
- Bit rate = 16-bits (and earlier I used 24-bits)
- Files are dual mono, rather than stereo (name_01.L.wav, name_01.R.wav). As I mentioned above, I have not yet tried converting these to stereo before importing into FCP, to see if dual mono causes an issue with QT. It does not cause a problem in FCP. I will try this today if we don't solve the problem.
(3) I can upload a portion of the audio to a server and send you a link to the file so you can download it. Is there a way to private message on the forum so I can get an email address to send you the link?
(4) The original video came from Canon HF M40 camcorder: AVCHD (using MPEG4-AVC / H.264 compression codec), MTS format. Audio is 48 kHz, 24 bits.
I used ClipWrap to rewrap the video into ProRes 422 and decompress the audio and save as LPCM.

- Starting time code - 01.00.00.00
- Format - 1080p
- Resolution - 1920 x 1080

How to Import from Web Page or QuickTime movie
Help! I accepted what I though was an easy assignment to make a DVD of a web page clip
so my sister-in-law can show it as part of the Veteran's Day program at her school. The
clip is
http://home.comcast.net/~carmat/scene4.swf
A friend got it into QuickTime movie format for me but she wants it on a DVD
so it can be played over the projection system that plays normal DVD movies.
I tried using Toast and it burned a nice coster that plays a slide show with no audio.
I could use some help on how to import a QuickTime move into something that
will burn it to a DVD.
Any help will be appreciated. Anybody need some DVD coasters?.. that is a very tricky file..
ctrl-click on your link, choose from context-menu 'download file'.. got a 5.8MB scene4.swf file..
opened that with QTpro + perian.org plug-in.. plays..
'Export/dv' generates an audio-less file ...
2nd try:
using VisualHub, set output to dv.. boom!.. aborts.
3rd try:
using VisualHub, set output to h264 - audio only file ( ?? )
but, now I have an audio-less dv + and a video-less h264.. so, I simply copy/add trimmed the audio from h264 to the dv file in QTpro.. tadaahhh , done.
note:
I mostly doubt, that all pics in this 'show' are free for use, and not © protected..
for sure, the music has some © ...
and: as the credits tell you, the whole swf claims a © ..
be nice to copy rights ..
//no politics allowed on this board, but OMG!.. when we Germans produced such movies, that is >60y ago .. // -
My Apple TV 2 won't accept home movies from iTunes
My Apple TV 2 won't accept certain home movies from iTunes but my Apple TV 3rd generation will. Some of my older home movies play on both units. Whats different about my new movies?
Winston,
I've been having connection problems with my ATV2 for quite some time. Internet connections are fine, regardless of whether wired or via Ethernet, but it simply won't connect to my iTunes library (spinning wheel for ever). What "irks" me here is your comment below:
I'm a little concerned by the Apple TV not being seen in iTunes when you try to restore by micro USB, this is pretty much a last resort repair.
Is the ATV2 supposed to show up in iTunes and if so, how/where? It sure doesn't show up in my iTunes! I seem to be able to connect, as when I try to close iTunes after one of my many attempts to stream a movie I close iTunes it complaines that there's one or more ATVs connected.
@Peter: please do respond here as to whether a replacement ATV2 has solved your problems ... don't really want to shell out more money for it, but if it solves the problems... -
Problem with split screen quicktime movie to iDVD
hey folks, i've just spent two 6-hour renderings for naught and have the following problem:
QT Pro 6.5.2
iDVD 5
OS 10.3.9
I pulled together a Quicktime movie consisting of talking head interview, then split screen (two clips simultaneously), back to talking head, then split screen again, etc etc.
the first time i rendered the composite Quicktime movie to iDVD, my split screen background was a sickly lime green color. blech
so, i added a black slide in TIFF format ONLY to the split screen video portions. played around with the Layers property until my split screen video clips were in front of the black background. recut and pasted my full Quicktime movie again.
However, upon my second iDVD rendering, a funny thing ocurred. Now, when the DVD gets to a split screen portion, the VERY LAST FRAME OF THE PREVIOUS TALKING HEAD CLIP freezes, and appears in the background of my split screen clips.
What gives?
I plan to do some testing, but sure would like to shortcut this problem, it's eating away at my weekend and i need to get this project done.
thanks for any insight you can give
mikeSome ideas given in your iDVD post:

Problem using BufferToImage with Quicktime mov�s.
I have modified the FrameAccess.java in an attempt to grab frames from a quicktime movie and output them as jpeg sequence. While I can use FrameAcess to grab the frames of an avi, I cannot get it to output frames from the quicktime movie.
The qicktime movie I am using plays fine within jmf (in fact it was generated by jmf) and it plays fine within the standard quicktime player.
However, when I use the bufferToImage method on a quicktime movie, it always outputs a null image (I have tried various methods).
I have provided my complete code (which has a hardcoded link to a quicktime file). Any ideas? Has anyone been able to do this? Perhaps I have a format error? Should jmf really be this confusing?
Thanks,

Thanks for the suggestion. When I use your line, my Image is no longer null (and the resulting BufferedImage is not null either), but it outputs a "black" in the jpeg file. Any other ideas? What did you mean by a -1 F for the frame rate? Did you mean changing the format to a negative 1 frame rate? I tried that, but it did not seem to have any change. Can you let me know if I misunderstood that. Thanks.

1. I have chosen the "Reflection" theme template.
2. I have used the edit drop zone feature and imported jpgs for the motion slides that move from right to left.
3. I have dragged a .mov from my desktop and placed it in the area of the translucent pane in the template, a yellow dot and a box with the file name appearred.
4. When I tried to adjust the location of the movie on the pane and edit its name by selecting it the template name box to the right "Reflection Main" is highlighted and moves as if it was selected, while my mouse is still on the movie name.
I have tried going to the edit menu and selected "select none" and it does de-select the Reflection Main box but the process repeats itself when I have tried again.
Also when I review the project and try to start the movie by clicking on the file name - it is not selectable - nothing happens.
I am tring to make a DVD that will auto start to the slide show of the reflection template and when one clicks on the movie name it will then play the movie.
Please help,
jimis the rest of my system adequite enough?

Final cut pro problem when exporting with quicktime movie
Hello!
I must have som help beacuse my musicmovie must be finsihed untill today. I have a movie their i had used filters like colour correction and interlace. When i export with USING QUICKTIME CONVERSION and have
keyfram 10
bitrate 6000
faster encode
size 1920x1080 HD 16:9
its not a problem the movie works fine all the way.
But when i export with QUICKTIME MOVIE it dosent work. Some clips are frozen and some are beeing misscoloured. None of them have interlace. Its the same clips that dosent work everytime i had export with QM. I have tried to replace these clips but the same thing is happening. I dont understand why i cant use quicktime movie but it works with quicktime conversion.
If you have an e-mail i can send you just the part where this happening.
Please help me!
Thanks GabrielI am also expriencing the same error. Tried every solution listed so far:
1. Switch off background rendering. Trash render files. Don't render. Export.
2. copying the project within Final Cut Pro into another project
3. remove the following folder: Library > Application Support > ProApps > MIO > RADPlugins > XDCAMFormat.RADPlug
Nothing worked. I try to export to Vimeo, YouTube, and master. All error right at 9%

Exporting Final Cut Quicktime movie onto DVD, Exporting Final Cut Quicktime movie onto DVD
Hello,
So I've just finished a 30 minute long project on Final Cut Express. I want to get this project onto a DVD-R (holds 4.7 GB) so I can get it to a television station where it will be aired. I exported the project to my desktop as a Quicktime file. The file is 22 GB. This doesn't seem right. What do I need to compress this file to get it onto a DVD-R with minimal loss of quality? I used iDVD to get a 36 minute version of this project onto DVD and it worked great. The thing is, if I'm giving the 30 minute version to a television station, the movie shouldn't have the interactive DVD title screen at the beginning, so I need to find another way to compress the movie. Any advice?? Thanks.Hi
To get Maximum quality over to TV-Station - I would Copy back to miniDV tape (100% quality) and let them use a Camera or tape-deck to play it.
(BTW - DVD is as standard SD-Video - so HD material will not be any better - in some cases it even get worse)
Else if DVD is a must.
FCE/P to iDVD
Several things to know
• How to go from FCE/P to iDVD
• Free space on Start-up hard disk
• Encoding
• Brand and type of DVDs used
• Burn speed set
• iDVD BUG
• Chapters
How to go from FCE/P to iDVD I do
• Disable Screen and Energy saver
• IMPORTANT --> FIRST in FinalCut - Mix Down Audio under Sequence Menu / Render Only / Mix-down
• Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
• Select with Mark - Chapter Mark
• Not as Self-Contained (not important but saves time and space)
• NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION (IMPORTANT)
This QT.mov file I import into iDVD from within iDVD.
Drop it into the Auto-Play box (top left one in organization menu in iDVD)
Use a Very simple theme - eg "Brushed Metal" (old themes)
Drop a black photo here to make it invisibly
• Now it will Auto-Start and end on a Black frame - There are no - No Menu choice else.
Free space on Start-up hard disk
I set a minimum of 25GB (for Mac OS and iDVDs temp files)
Encoding
• I use Pro Quality encoding
Brand and type of DVDs used
• I use Verbatim
• I use DVD-R
Burn speed set
• I set down this to x4 (or x1)
iDVD BUG
• One can not go back to movie-project for any alterations and then go back to
the iDVD project. It will notice and ask You to either Up-date or Cancel. Neither
of them will work.
Medicine - Start a brand new iDVD project.
Use of Chapters
• I only use a to z and 0 to 9 in naming them. NO other symbol/letter !
• NO Chapter-mark at very beginning - iDVD NEEDS TO set this by it self
• No Chapter marks in or within two seconds from a transition
(Way around this last one - Export movie as QT full quality and NO Chapter marks
Import this into a new Movie-project and now You are free to set C-Ms where You want
them except at very beginning - still)
Material used to build movie
• video - I use streamingDV (or convert all other to this eg .mp4, .avi, .wmv etc)
• audio - I use .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or from Audio-CD (44.1kHz) - no .mp3 or direct from iTunes
• photos - I use .jpg - no .bmp etc
Problems then
Trash iDVD pref. file and run Repair Permissions - and have a re-try.
from post ??
May not be relevant, but I had the same problem with iDVD, where burned DVDs showed a green screen. It was cured by quitting Quicksilver and Quickeys as well as disabling sleep and screen-saving

Black frame in embedded quicktime movies in Keynote when exporting to quicktime movie
I've included some quicktime movies made in Photoshop in my Keynote presentation. When viewing the Keynote presentation from within keynote, the movie play perfectly. However when I export the presentation to a Quicktime move, the first or last frame of the embedded movie is black creating a flicker effect on play.
The quicktime movies have been embedded as loopable animations using the animation build in function 'Start movie' (after transition with 0 delay).
Is there a setting that will prevent the black frame on export or is this a bug?Trim out the frames in a video editing application, Quicktime, iMovie

Premiere won't accept new source files in slightly different formats...
I'm using CS3 (and I installed CS4 and got the same problem). I've created a video using six different source videos that were originally encoded in XVID. I now know that was a bad idea but at the time I didn't know how to convert the video so I went ahead and used them. Now my project crashes to the desktop whenever I open it without any sort of error message.
This is a project that I started over a year ago and I set it aside because I didn't want to deal with the issue, but I really want to finish this project. Now I have a better handle on what sort of codecs work well with premiere and I use Super C to convert the videos to a friendly format and I haven't had any problems with my projects crashing since then.
So now I've revisted the project that is crashing and I have tried converting the original source videos to a more friendly format, but hte problem is, even when I get it to a format that is pretty much exactly the same settings as the original (size, fps, etc) premiere won't accept it. When I open the project and it asks me "Where is the file..." I'll point to the new file and premiere tells me "The selected file cannot be linked because its type (video) does not match original file's type (audio and video)".. I try this after opening the project by right clicking on the asset and choosing "link media..." but of course I get the same error message.
What i've gotten done in the project is like 10 hours worth of work and it would be a shame to lose all of it just because Premiere is too picky about switching from one media type to another .. what are my options in getting this to work?Welcome to the forum.
Yes, Xvid is a delivery-only format for delivery-only, but you know that too.
What I would do would be to Open that original Project, and then Offline the original Video. If you named the converted files the same, except for the extension, you should be able to then Import the replacement files and manually replace those. Make sure that when you choose to Offline the Assets, that you do a Save_As, so that the original Project is NOT overwritten - keep it safe.
You might try to Relink from the Project Panel, before you do the Import. I do not know if that will be allowed, due to the extension difference, but that would be the easiest way, if it works. Try that first. With the material Offline, Rt-click on each AV file, and choose Link Media. If you used the same file names, you should be able to find the converted versions. Let us know if this works, or if you get rejected.
Good luck,

FCPX won't accept ".dv" video file
Why won't FCPX won't accept what FCE used to work with??
This is the file type:Tom Wolsky wrote:

If the original is DV, why go to uncompressed and not straight to ProRes? Uncompressed files will be huge (perhaps 7 times as large as ProRes, which is already massive) and I am not sure there will be much to gain, but I am willing to be enlightened. -

I have plenty of space on my HD to accommodate these movies.
I'm using iPhoto 6.0.6
any insight into this problem would be greatly appreciated.
thxHi.
I have had the same problem with iPhoto 6 not importing my longer video clips. I do use a card reader. When iPhoto won't import a movie, the workaround is to use Image Capture. Select "Download Some" and switch the window to List view to preview the files on the card. Select the movies and upload to a Desktop folder. Ignore the blue progress meter - it seems to go from 0 to 100% with no indication of actual progress. It can take several minutes, but I've learned to be patient and the clips will eventually appear on the Desktop. Once there, iPhoto has had no trouble importing them into the Library.

I am having trouble opening .mov videos with Quicktime on my PC with Vista. I installed the latest version of Quicktime for Windows (V.7.7), and upgraded it to Pro. It will open a .mov file once, then after that it will not open any .mov file and in fact, when I try to open the Quicktime player it will not open itself. If I switch users to Admin, it all works fine, but when I go back to my regular role (where all of my preferences and programs are there for me to use), the same thing happens. An .mov file will open once, then never again, and the Quicktime player seems to be disabled.
I've tried different .mov files, so it's not a corrupt file that's the problem. And, in the past (a couple of Quicktime versions ago, I guess), all of this worked just fine.
Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated!I have the exact same problem. They play on my Mac under Snow Leopard. Transfer to Vista gets a window with black and white and some other noise. No sound either.
