Mpg to mov format

I am trying to import mpg clips into FCE 3.5. I am first using Handbrake to convert to an m4v file then streamclip to turn into a mov file. However, when I import the mov files to FCE it comes up with the following error message "File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown." Any ideas what my problem is? If I am going about it the wrong way I could use some suggestions on a better way to get mpg files into a readable format for FCE 3.5. Thanks in advance!

A few other notes I forgot to mention:
1) the mov files to work in QuickTime Player coming out of Handbrake.
2) The reason I went to Handbrake first is because Streamclip wouldn't convert the mpg files for some reason and it told me I didn't have some extra playback plugin that I needed to buy.

Convert Flash file to .mpg or .mov?

Hi, I'm just learning Flash on my Macbook and have been
having a great time making my first 3-minute animation (using
mostly frame-by-frame redraws with a few motion tweens and
alpha-fade symbols in background layers). The sound layer is a .wav
file recording of a 5-verse song, and I was able to copy-frames and
paste a lot for the main animation layers because many of the main
actions repeated with each verse. I recruited musician friends to
sing for the soundtrack and everyone was very excited for the final
result. The thing is, the project is a current-events response and
the idea was to post it to YouTube so that all our friends and
family could see it and forward it before the election -- wait too
long and it won't be that funny anymore because it won't be
relevant.
However, when I finished it all and had it playing perfectly
in my .swf files, I went to export it and ran into two problems:
1. First, Youtube requires uploads to be in either .avi,
.wmp, .mpg, or .mov format. In the "Export movie..." dialogue box,
Quicktime format is the only option given that would produce one of
Youtube's required formats, the .mov file. But when that export was
complete, I viewed the movie in the Quicktime player and found that
the audio and the visual were completely out of synch. That was the
first problem.
2. Desperate, I gave up on my master final file and resigned
myself to using an earlier saved version of the .fla that did
produce a synchronized .mov file. But when I uploaded that to
YouTube, the result was visual torture. Instead of a video, what
played was a slide show -- while the sound played at normal speed,
the animation was only stills: one image would fill the window and
freeze, and then another would replace it a bit later, and so on,
skipping the 50 to 100 frames between each frame that did appear.
No singing rabbits, no grinning governors...
I don't know if the problem is something to do with adjusting
frame rates, or if it's about finding the right converter, but if
anyone can help, I'd be very grateful! A friend was able to put the
.swf file up on his website temporarily, so if it's helpful you may
be able to see it at

Thanks,
Gillian

I got a great reply to the conversion question when I asked
it again a couple of days later. The answer is

Best file converter for .mpg to .mov

I am trying to import movies in .mpg format to iMovie 11 which requires a .mov format. I want a free file converter that won't sacrifice the video quality.

If your movies are MPEG1, then MPEG Streamclip will convert them for free.
If your movies are MPEG2, you may also need the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component, which is $20 from Apple. MPEG Streamclip will tell you if you need this.
Drag the MPG file into MPEG Streamclip. Click the play button to ensure that it plays and all is well. Then use FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME and choose a codec for your needs. I recommend Apple Intermediate Codec.
Detailed Instructions....
Get MPEG Streamclip, which is free.
You may also need the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component for $20.
Follow the instructions on the MPEG Streamclip website for installing the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component. Here are those instructions for Mountain Lion and Lion as of 2012-11-05...
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion and Mountain Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion and Mountain Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
To install the component in Lion or Mountain Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b8 betaabove; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component M. Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion or Mountain Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion and Mountain Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion and Mountain Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.
If your security settings will not let you run UTILITY MPEG2 COMPONENT M.LION, then you can override the security by
1. Hold down "control" button
2. Click on the app that is triggering the message about the security preferences
3. Select "open" to override and install/open the application
For more on the security settings see this document.

Optimal settings for MPEG Streamclip convering mpgs to quicktime format

Hello Folks,
a newbie to this video converting world.
I've got loads of mpgs from the past, which I'm trying to convert to Quicktime(mov) format for use on my apple tv and also to publish to DVDs.
I tried the following:
- Compression - Apple Intermediate Codec
- Quality - 100%.
My 1G mpg file was converted to a 10G file!! I dont think I can afford to convert at this rate.
Can someone recommend an optimal setting on MPEG streamclip for this conversion with a balance on file size/quality?
thanks in advance!
karthik

No. You would need to upscale to HD and that's never good. Some TVs, expensive ones, can uprez fairly well, most can't. SD just looks very poor on an HD display.
Yes, sorry, the frame size needs to be 720x480, the standard DV format. Funny, I knew as I was typing it that there was something I was forgetting to include.

Convert MPG slideshow/movie to work in QT Pro

Hi, I received a slideshow/movie from a friend who created it on a PC using Windows XP in MPG format. QT will not play it. (I can not open it in iPhoto or iMovie either). I get an error when I try to open it. Is there a way to convert that MPG to a format that QT can read? Thanks!

QT will not play it.QT is playback compatible with "standard" MPEG-1 (MPG) files. However, the MPG extension may also be used for MPEG-2 files which are not natively supported by QT. Try playing the file in a third-party player like VLC. If it opens/plays, then you can check the specific compression format. If the file is MPEG-2, then the QT MPEG-2 component should allow you to watch the video but may not support the audio.
Is there a way to convert that MPG to a format that QT can read?Free applications like iSquint, FFmpegX or MPEG Streamclip will allow you convert normal MPEG-1/MPEG-2 files to QT compatible files. (NOTE: MPEG Streamclip requires the QT MPEG-2 component be installed for convesion of MPEG-2 files to QT compatible files.)

Cut/paste mpg or mov files together -- NO SOUND

Hi There.. I converted some digital video from its native Sony format to MPEG-4 (mpg) on my Windows machine. QT plays the movies on my iMac just fine (with sound), but I cannot cut and paste the movies when I open them in the .mpg format. So, I have tried exporting to .mov format, but when I do that the sound is not exported with the video. Can someone please advise how I can "stitch" together movie clips from MPEG-4 format using QT Pro so that I have one larger movie, complete with sound? My ultimate goal is to pull them into iMovie (but iMovie strips the audio too), or QT movie format (any format is fine).
Thank you.
David

Use MPEG Streamclip (free) to convert your MPEG-1 files to QuickTime formats.
Export to DV Stream (.dv) works best for iMovie.
If you wish to keep the .mpg format the free software also allows editing (including copy/paste).

HT3775 converting mpg to mov

how can i convert movies with mpg formats to .mov without affecting my video resolution? my imovie projects look tremendously blurry!!

To convert .mpg to .mov, you should take assistance of video converting tool. I've used Video Converter which allows to customize video resolution. Maybe you can have a try. Anyway it is said that VLC player can play almost any file type. Sounds good. You might as well give a try too.

Mpg to Mov Files without sound

I REALLY need to convert mpg files to mov files cause I need to use then with iMovie and FCP. But when I convert mpg to mov, the files are without sound. I'm using Quick Time 7. Are there anyone to indicate a solution or another converter app? I need mov files WITH sound.

I REALLY need to convert mpg files to mov files cause I need to use then with iMovie and FCP.
MOV is a file container. It can contain an valid combination of audio, video, text, 'Tween, Chapter, etc. data. What compression format do you want to edit in natively with iMovie or FCP?
But when I convert mpg to mov, the files are without sound.
The MPG file container normally contains audio and video data multiplexed as interspersed blocks of data in a single stream to provide spatial synchronization of audio and video. QT is based on parallel tracks of audio and video synchronized temporally. Since QT can only demultiplex and convert one track of data, it is programed to convert the video and leaves the audio out of the new file. As was previously indicated, if you wish to retain audio, you will have to use an MPEG based application. MPEG Streamclip is free and considered by most QT users to be both reliable and a standard by which other such apps are judged.
When I use that I got a file just with sound and no image. What I supposed to do?
Once again we return to the primary question of what compression format you want to edit in natively in iMovie or FCP. Most people choose DV/DV or AIC/Uncompressed but other options include Photo JPEG, Motion JPEG, MPEG-4, or H.264 with any edit compatible audio compression format. As an FCP, pro codecs are also available depending on your specific needs or wants. The compression codecs you wish to use will, in the end, determine which MPEG Streamclip conversion option you select and what settings are available.

Movie Formats

I have 5 different movie formats that I want to use to make a DVD.
.WMV
.ASF
.MPG
.MPEG
.MOV
Only the .wmv and .asf are able to do added to the drop zones in iDVD. What do I need to do to convert the .MPG,.MPEG, and .MOV to be able to be dropped into iDVD so I can make a movie?
Thanks,
Jason

First of all, you should not be dropping your movie per se into the drop zone ... drop zones are for menu movies
Your main movie should be dropped into the iDVD pane beyond the parameters of the drop zone (I think there is a Preference that shows you the drop zone as a spotted line as you move the movie across it)
Secondly, iDVD is designed to work best with Quicktime (.mov) files

ITunes 11 has converted some songs to Quicktime movie format. How can I convert them back to MPEGs? format

iTunes 11 has converted some songs to Quicktime movie format. How can I convert them back to MPEGs?

I didn't mess with the iTunes Media folder previously, so I don't think that was the cause. Anyway, I manually fixed most of the songs, but I still can't figure out how to fix the movies that became listed as songs.
Here is a screenshot of what it looks like when I click on "Get Info" for one of the movies (which has ended up in the music section on iTunes):
There is no option to change the media kind to "movie" or "video" even though it is a movie and it still plays as a movie if I press play.

Converting dvd vidoes into a .mov format

If I convert my DVD videos into .mov format files for the web, will the Quicktime player or plug in be the only available player to open these files. Basically what I am asking is does everyone have to have the Quicktime player or plugin available to open these files?

.mov is a container file form, not a compression type. You can use any one of dozens of compressors for a .mov file. Widely used are mpeg-4 and Sorenson 3. Those will both play in QT 6. H264 is also being used a lot but it requires QT 7 to be installed.
By the way, the QT mpeg2playbackcomponent will not export mpeg-2 format. It is playback only. Also, note that QT will not export sound from muxed files like mpeg-1 or mpeg-2. This freeware will export to various formats with the sound included. Note that there are both Windows XP and Mac versions of this freeware. Mpeg StreamClip

How to save a video made with adobe VOICE (for ipad) in MOVIE format

I have made a video with adobe VOICE application for ipad. Does anybody know if there's a way to save the video in .MOV format. I see that it only allows me to upload the video and share it via email, FB, Twitter or message.

Hi felipe1,
You've landed in the Acrobat.com forum, and I was going to move your post to an more appropriate forum to get you question answered, but it doesn't look like we have one for Voice yet! I did find this page: Adobe Voice - Support
And, it doesn't look like there's an option to save as .mov format.
Best,
Sara

When I tap a photo in my iPhone photo gallery, the photo appears but there is always a "this movie format not supported" alert and then the alert goes away and the photo appears. These are photos I've taken with the iPhone and aren't even movies.

It's very odd. I take photos with my iPhone and then later go to view the photos in the Photo Gallery on my iPhone. The photos to appear, but I keep getting "this movie format not supported" alerts, even though I am looking at photos taken by my iPhone. The alert appears briefly just after the photo appears and then the alert goes away and I can see the photo. They are just still photos and not movies. Why wouldn't the iPhone recognize the format of photos it is taking?

That thread helped for a time. But now it seems as though my computer is back to slow again. But, some of the jargon is over my head as well. Not sure I knew quoite everything they were talking about. But thanks a lot for that, it helped I probably just need to reread it and follow the instructions again. Thanks so much.

Convert iphoto slide show to mov format?

hello, I just want to ask that, can I convert iphoto slide show into mov format??? I tried to select all pics, and export them as a mov, but the problem is, in the iphoto slide show, the pics can be moved and fit the screen size, but when I i export it, the pics just set in the middle , no any effect.

1. Select the photos you want to use, and click on the +. In the window that appears, select slideshow, and give your project a title.
2. Choose your transitions and music.
3. Go to File>Export; this will create a QuickTime movie- a .mov file.
4. For information on playback, read this section from QuickTime Player Help.
_Viewing Movies at Full Screen_
You can set the screen so that only the movie is visible, not the QuickTime Player window, desktop, or other windows. This presentation setting is called "full-screen mode." (You can also set a movie to play at half size, double size, or other sizes.)
To play a movie at full screen, do one of the following:
Choose View > Full Screen.
Choose View > Present Movie, choose Full Screen, and click Play.
To quit full-screen mode, press Esc. To adjust the way the picture is sized to fit your screen, such as stretched to fit or in letterbox format, move the pointer to the top of the screen to display the QuickTime Player menu options, and then choose a setting from the View menu. The following additional options are available in full-screen mode:
Fit to Screen: The content is scaled to fill your screen as fully as possible without cropping the movie or changing the aspect ratio.
Zoom: The content is scaled and cropped to completely fill your screen in at least one dimension. This can eliminate black areas on the top (letterboxing) or side (pillarboxing) but may hide or distort the content.
Panoramic: The content is scaled to fit your screen and the outer horizontal edges compressed to avoid cropping the image.
You can also cycle through all of the available full-screen options by clicking the button in the movie controls that appear when you move the pointer.
You can also set options for all movies playing at full screen. For example, you can hide the movie controls or change the amount of time they're displayed before being hidden. To set these options, see QuickTime Player preferences.
Note: As long as "Display full-screen controls" is selected in QuickTime Player Preferences, you can make hidden controls appear by moving the pointer.
I hope this helps.
