Movie properties from Dowloads

I just bought and downloaded 5 Pixar short subject movies.
I have a 3 year old grandson that I've set up a Mac for.
I've put his favorite movies and trailers on the desktop with large icons and slow double click. I set each movie to open in full screen and close when finished because he can't click on the red close button.
The Pixar movies downloaded into iTunes, so it would be difficult for him to find them to play.
I opened the mp4 in Quicktime and saved as self-contained movie, thinking this would do it. I put the movie on the desktop and opened it to get movie properties. I could not change them, so I can't set to go full screen or to close the movie when done. ???
Is there no way to do this? "Protected" is one thing... but not being able to change the properties seems ridiculous.

Better to use "reference" instead of "self contained" to save on HD space.
Then unplug the mouse and teach the 3 year old the keyboard.
The "Tab" key will highlight a file and a new tap on it will move the focus to a new item.
Command key and the letter o key will launch QuickTime Player.
Command key and the letter f will send the file to Full Screen (requires Pro).
The Spacebar will start and stop playback. Up/down arrow keys will adjust volume.
Command key and the letter w key will close the window. Escape key will send it out of full screen but leave the window open.
Command key and the Tab key will allow switching between the Finder and QuickTime (focus changes each time the Tab key is clicked) and releasing the Command key will make that app the "front".

Some Audio Not In Sync When Movie converted from .avi to .m4v

I've downloaded videos in avi format and then converted them to m4v by using Export in QT Pro and selecting AppleTV with default settings.
The avi version plays ok right to the end but the m4v loses audio sync by about 1-2 seconds but only in the last 5 (approx) minutes of a 40 minute video.
Any way round this or should I look to convert with a different application?
Joe

The issue seems to be related to sample rate. Because there's no 'options' screen for the Apple TV quicktime preset, there is no way to correct it on the front end that I can see yet, but in the cases I have had I was able to correct it this way:
open the out-of-sync mp4 in Quicktime. Select 'show movie properties' from the window menu. Select the audio track and hit extract. Select Export: Audio as AIFF when the new untitled audio clip opens. Click 'Options' and change the sample rate to 32khz. after the audio clip exports, open the new exported audio clip in the quicktime player. Select all, copy, then back in your movie, select the whole movie, then pick 'Add to Selection and Scale'. You can then save the movie as .mov. I haven't tried exporting to Apple TV again, since this would typically take several hours, even though the video format should be unchanged.
I tried to simply change the audio sample rate and save in Mpeg Streamclip, but the resulting file was invalid.

ICal move events from one calendar to another with AppleScript

I made an AppleScript to clean up my calendars and thought I would share. My iMac had a calendar called "Home" and my iPhone had a default calendar "Calendar" so I ended up with all of my events spread across two calendars. Decide to clean up and move everything to one calendar.
This script is admittedly not very efficient. The nested repeat loops means it takes a while to run. Feel free to take this as a start point. I have it checking each property for missing value before adding it to avoid errors. I could have added a line to delete the old event after creating the copy, but I was just deleting the whole old calendar after the script ran.
I hope this is helpful to someone. Oh, this was created under Snow Leopard so if you are in Lion you might need to tweak things. I don't know how much the scripting library has changed.

That should not be necessary because I get the value of ID out of another table, where I generate ID with a sequence..
So normally it should just tranfer that row from one table to another. But it doesn't !
Knowing that I cannot create a row in the table wouter_published_posts(I can just move rows from the add_post table to the wouter_published_posts table), It should be inpossible that twice the ID appears. But yet he keeps trowing errors...
help me, please

Move email from Inbox to Local Folder using Message Filter moves header only, not contents.

I created a Message Filter to move email from Inbox to a Local Folder based on Date. The email headers were moved, but not the contents. Since I'm using IMAP, all the emails were deleted from the server.
I searched for similar problems and I followed one suggestion to "repair" one of the target Local Folders, but that made things worse. Now the header information (Subject, From, Date (now set to the date the transfer was done, not the email received date) is all blank.
The Local Folder properties indicate the email is contained in
mailbox:///C:/Users/Ted/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/c65xcqqf.default/Mail/Local Folders/Archives.sbd/2010
I can see the messages from other Local Folders here, but the ones "moved" are empty.
Should this location be changed?
Is there some way to recover the email contents?

Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

From looking at the specifications of your camera (SJCam 4000), we know already what video compression your camera is using. It is H.264.
A H.264.mov file should be supported by Premiere Elements 11. On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running?
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer? And, are you running QuickTime and Premiere Elements 11 from a
User Account with administrative privileges? Please go to Premiere Elements 11 Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime to confirm that you find
presets there for the QuickTime choice there.
What are the properties of these H.264.mov files - is it 1080p30 (1920 x 1080p30) or something else? Do you know if this camera is recording with a variable or
a constant frame rate?
Please review and consider and then we will decide what next.
Thank you.

Can't import .mov files from my camera into iPhoto

I am not able to import .mov files from my kodak camera into iPhoto. It says the file is not readable. Also, if there are any photos after the video file, those are said to be unreadable too, even if I select just the photots for import. I tried to import the .mov file with image capture as well, and that gave me an import error also. I can view the file fine on my camera and iPhoto and image capture both will give me the properties of the video file but will not import. I have imported .miv files before with no trouble. I have tried several different files with the same results. Even tried different memory cards. Not sure how to get this file on my computer or why there is a problem all of the sudden.
Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions,
What model of Kodak is it?
There is a discussion thread on this topic: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11942367&#11942367
Try using a media card reader (sometimes built into printers) to see if that allows the import. Others seem to report having luck by importing the movies off the card using a different computer, deleting them, and then importing the pictures.
Hope that helps.

Using API - move course from subsection to another?

Is it possible - using web services / Java API - to move a course from one section to another?
If so, which methods should I use? Either it is a single command (which I could not find), or it is a procedure by which where you recreate an entire album from scratch, by first getting its properties from the original location, then recreating that exact "structure" in the new section. Then what happens with the files one uploaded?
I'm very new to jsp, had to setup a server yesterday with Tomcat to try out the API.
Thanks!

It worked! The title wasn't copied over, however. I had to add:
destCourse.setName(course.getName());
destCourse.setShortName(course.getName());
to set the name. I had to set both, as it added newCourse to both the name and short name when ShortName was not specified. The Otherwise, it seems permissions copied over properly.
Site site = conn.getSite();
List sections = site.getSections();
Section section = (Section) sections.get(0);
Division division = (Division) section.getSectionItems().get(5);
Section subSectionto = (Section) division.getSections().get(2);
Section subSectionfrom = (Section) division.getSections().get(3);
Course course = (Course) subSectionfrom.getSectionItems().get(0);
Course srcCourse = course; // find the source course in the site tree
Section destSection = subSectionto; // find the destination section
Course destCourse = new Course();
// if you want to make any changes as you copy, call setters on destCourse here...
destCourse.setName(course.getName());
destCourse.setShortName(course.getName());
ITunesUResponse resp = conn.addCourse(destSection.getHandle(), srcCourse.getHandle(), destCourse);

1080p30 .mov files from canon eos 5DMarkII in Final cut express 4.0.1

Hi everybody.
i need some help to import HD vidéo .mov files from Canon Eos 5DMarkII in final cut express.
The files is in 1080p30 (h264) like avchd but in the final cut configuration i have only 50i and 60i option in HDV and AVCHD
Final cut necessity to do a render (5h for 15min on my G5) and the movement quality is not the same.
Anybody have a idea to import Progressive files in final cut ?
maybe they have an update with new avchd 1080p codec in configuration ?
or i need final cut pro...?
Thanks in advance
and sorry for my english...i'm french

There is no good solution for working with this camera in FCE. It's 30fps progressive. There is no true video format that is 30fps. This is something Canon was cobbled together for this stills camera.
You can use MPEG Streamclip to convert the material to QuickTime using the Apple Intermediate Codec at 1920x1080. I think that's what it shoot. You should check the camera manual to confirm it shoots 1920 and not 1440.
The problem is the frame rate. You can convert it to 29.97fps or to 25fps. 25fps conforms to the European frame rate, but I don't know how well Streamclip will do this conversion. You also need to make sure the material is not interlaced by Streamclip.
The other problem is that FCE handles 1080 as an interlaced format, because for production it's supposed to be an interlaced format, at least in the formats, HDV and AVCHD, that FCE works with. You can set your sequence properties to have no field dominance, which should prevent it interlacing during compositing of any effects.

Editing Movie Properties in QTX?

Anyone who may have used the "Show Movie Properties" in QuickTime 7 to edit the metadata of a movie file knows its a bit cumbersome, I was wondering how QTX makes this process - if indeed it includes it at all?
I read that some of the features QuickTime 7 had are absent from QTX, so how about this one?

There is no "Movie Properties" window in QuickTime X.
Snow Leopard users can use both QuickTime Player (upgradable to Pro) and QuickTime X.

Movie/Get Movies Properties Menus

Hello,
Wanted to ask is there a difference with Quicktime Pro 7 between a PC and Mac? I run a PC with Quicktime Pro 7 I am working on a web course for audio and video and my instructor wrote in the instructions to click on the Movie/Get Movies Properties menus and then from there selcting Sound Track and then click on General from the two drop down menus.
All I have in mine is when the file is opened to click on the Window Menu and then click on the Show Movie Info menu to record the data such as data size and data rate. As I am doing some analyzing on various codecs and audio formats to see if the file will or will not retain their sound quality when compressed at various rates. So for me is this how it is for the PC? I see that it records the data rate and data size in KB don't know wheather it's kilobytes per second or kilobits per second for the data rate. As for the data size shows KB I would think that's kilobytes but my instructor wants me to write it in the form as an example 111.1k looks I might have to convert.
Any help or feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks alot,
Ryan

Suggest you try importing your movies with free OPlayerHD Lite via iTune File Sharing.

QuickTime Pro keeps crashing when I open "Show Movie Properties"

I keep getting the "QuickTime Player has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." crash when I try and do "Show Movie Properties" on .MOV files.
The error signature is:
EventType : BEX P1 : QuickTimePlayer.exe P2 : 7.65.17.80
P3 : 4afa5828 P4 : QuickTimePlayer.dll P5 : 7.65.17.80 P6 : 4afa5820
P7 : 0000130d P8 : c0000409 P9 : 00000000
Any suggestions?
I'm running the latest QuickTimePro (7.6.5) on WinXP SP3

in fact it's one of the few bits of Quick Time that seems stable on my PC!
Hmmmmm ... your symptoms aren't typical for what I'm about to check on. But I think we ought to check to see if any other application has sprayed old QuickTime componentry into unorthodox places on the PC. (That's one possible cause of a BEX.)
(1) Go Start > My Computer.
(2) From the Tools menu, select Folder Options ...
(3) Click the View tab.
(4) Make sure Show hidden files and folders is selected and Hide extensions for known filetypes is unchecked.
(5) Click OK.
Now head down into your C:\Windows\system32\ directory. What files and folders with QuickTime in the file/folder-name can you see in there?
(In a standard QuickTime installation, you should see precisely two files, QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx, and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

Quicktime Player X Show Movie Properties is gone?

I still have QT player 7 on my machine, but why is "Show Movie Properties" gone from QT X Player? I need that in order to turn on and off text layers to get chapters to work in BitVice. So I guess the fix is just use QT Player 7 in the meantime? Thanks for any insight!

Hi,
Maybe there should have been an option for Quicktime Pro users to ignore the Quicktime X update.
I don't see the point of Quicktime X (other than the cosmetic changes) Why do we need two copies of Quicktime when everything we need from Pro is absent from X.
I hope that X gets a Pro option in the near future before Apple brings out another OS update that makes Quicktime 7 Pro obsolete.
Regards

Quicktime Movie Properties and FCP

If I open a file in Quicktime, and go to Movie Properties, there is a button for High Quality, which seems to sharpen the image. Can anyone tell me exactly what it does - is it just a sharpening filter? If it really is improving the playback quality, can you select this as enabled when exporting from FCP?
Cheers
Steve

By default, QT Movies are set to NOT playback at highest quality when playing back on your system. There's a freeware program called HiQual you can use that sets the high quality flag automatically when you drop a QT movie on it: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/14255

Dragging movie clip from Event pane to Project pane

When I drag a movie clip from Event to Project the top part of the clip is cut off. On body pictures I am losing people's heads! The movie clips play perfectly in the Event panel, so I know they were imported correctly.

There are two things to look at.
First, what is the aspect ratio of your project, and is it the same as your camera is shooting?
If your camera is standard (4:3), set your project to 4:3. If your camera is wide-screen (16:9), set your project to 16:9. You can do this in FILE/PROJECT PROPERTIES.
Second, if your project contains a mix of 16:9 and 4:3, that is OK. You just pick the aspect ratio that you prefer. Then on each clip, go into the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns Tool and select FIT or CROP.
FIT will letterbox (black bars). CROP will cut off the top and bottom. You can decide which you prefer.

Global changes to movie properties

Each year I have to update the copyright year in the movie
properties dialog box for each movie. Is there a way to update
movie properties for all movies at once?

Need to update properties to change copyright each year ...

No there is not a way to do that within the Captivate
environment. Sorry. I suggest you check with your lawyers, because
I don't believe that what you are doing is even necessary (but I'm
not a lawyer).
As I understand it, if you are located in the United States a
copyright (if not renewed) is good for a minimum of 28 years.
Again, check with your own legal people, especially if there is
cause to be concerned with international copyright law, which could
probably make a circus performer dizzy from the height.
Maybe there is a lawyer among us who can tell you I'm wrong
and/or offer better advice??
