MTS to .MOV are choppy

I used Wondershare to convert MTS files to .MOV or MP4 files, and they are converting and playing normally in Quicktime.  However, when I bring them into FCPX, they become choppy and hard to read files? Any suggestions on different conversions?

I don't know about Wondershare. Try MPEG Streamclip and see whether you have better luck. You may get an unreognizeable file type message, but tell it to open anyway, Convert to mov – not mp4.

  • I have a MacBook with a 2.1gz processor and 4gb ram but iTunes movies are choppy

    I have a MacBook with a 2.1gz processor and 4gb ram but iTunes movies are choppy. I tried opening the movie in QuickTime but was unable to...maybe because it was a rental but I'm not sure.
    Is there anything I can do to have a more enjoyable movie watching experience? Thanks!

  • Embedded QT movies are choppy in KN3 - help?

    I have Keynote 3 and am using the same presentations I have used in the prior version. I have small quicktime movies I use in class that came with the text or ancillary CD's that are placed on the slides. During the show the movies playback very choppy when projected to the screen through a LCD projector.
    When I play them on my Powerbook without projecting them they play fine in the presenation. I am lost as to why this is happening or what to do to get smooth playback of these movies while running the presentation. Since I am using dual display mode and different resolutions it is very difficult to switch out of Keynote to find and play them individually in the Quicktime Player. The whole purpose of Keynote is to do the presenation and move from slide to slide without having to switch between apps to do video.
    I would appreciate any help with this as the class is running now and I have this need every day. Thank you.

    I too am disappointed with KN's handling of QT movs. I'm seeing an issue wherein keynote appears to display a half-resolution proxy of the first frame of the mov during the dissolve transition. The presentation then "pops" to the actual QT mov, a 1024 x 768 DVCPro HD codec mov. The mov is gorgeous in QT Player, but this "pop" effect is not acceptable. Also puzzling is that this doesn't happen to a monochrome QT mov which uses the same codec.
    I've tried using QT Pro to set the movs to "Preload this Track" but that doesn't seem to affect KN's handling of the transition and/or the QT mov. I don't know if the setting is irrelevant to KN because running in dual display mode means I cannot see Activity Monitor to watch for RAM usage spiking as that page loads, etc. And really, isn't this sort of testing Apple's job anyway?
    That said; suppose mirroring resolves the playback issue. It's still broken. When using Presenter Display the user should be able to assign display resources as she sees fit; I'd be delighted to view a black and white, lower res Presenter Display if that would help ensure that the audience got the experience that I intended and programmed.
    The other thing is that mirroring itself is broken to my mind. When I mirror my display, I still need each to use appropriate calibration settings. I want to "mirror", not "mirror and apply identical calibration settings" to the two displays. Especially with a PB; where am I going to find a 1440 by 960 projector with exactly the same colorimetry as this display I'm typing on now.

  • Will movies play okay on the ATV2 if they are choppy when they play on the computer?

    I would like to buy an ATV2. I do have some dvds that I have already ripped to a computer, but the videos are choppy when played with itunes on that computer. The movies play fine on other computers. Will the ATV have problems pulling video from the computer?

    Thank you for the swift reply. I went ahead and bought it. Let me tell you, this thing is magic. The movies play choppy on the PC like I said, but play flawlessly on the ATV even while the PC is encoding another movie.
    Sounds as though the PC is struggling to decode the movie on the fly - h264 is more intensive to encode/decode than MPEG2 - however the underlying bitrate for AppleTV compatible files is quite low and most computers would be able to stream them even if they struggled to decode them - appleTV does the grunt work of decoding and displaying so the PC is not stressed by just streaming.

  • Another, free mts-to-mov tool

    for those lost souls, who are in need to re-wrap .mts into something useful for iMovie, and don't want to pay 50$ für CLIPWRAP, here's another, free solution
    REMUX
    http://www.nef.wh.uni-dortmund.de/%7Emt/remux/
    usually, mts comes within a AVCHD-structure and can be imported by iMovie.
    if you have a 'stray cat', a mts without that structure, there's no need to convert - inside the mts is a well-hidden h.264 file, iM can handle. REMUX 'strips off' the mts-wrapper, and puts it into a mov-container - ultra-fast and a 100% lossless.
    enjoy!

    hint: 50$ is still a good investement for CLIPWRAP, due to it offers much more than just re-wrapping ...

    ... Did you get the pictured dialog via 'Share/Export using QuickTime...'?
    I haven't got that 'Film - Elgato Turbo 264 HD' option in the list!
    yes.
    I do.
    Was there an installation program or something which made
    the Turbo 264 available for iMovie '11?
    in the box, there's the stick and an installation disk. but you can download software alone on Elgato's webste or via AppStore http://itunes.apple.com/de/app/turbo-264-hd-video-converter/id403705074?mt=12
    it is a 'plug in' for Quicktime, so that option is given in ANY QT-based app, as iMovie, FC/e, Streamclip, QTpro, etc etc etc.
    the software alone is 'convenience' only - drag'n drop = done. under the hood, you can play with zillions of settings. the stick is just for acceleration .. on my mini DRAMATIC improvement by factor 4-8x!
    I really need a better export quality...!!
    Turbo doesn't do better. technically, it is even 'worse' than a manual export and upload, but it uses some 'psycho optical'-tricks (=slight blurring + raising 'Kantenschärfe'/never found an english equivalent) so, files are small AND good looking. And ultra-fast done ...
    .... I have no info, wether it uses Quicktime or its own routines & algorithms (as ffmpeg based apps as Handbrake/VisualHub/...).

  • I just noticed that some of the movies I had in iTunes did not get transferred to the iPhone. The missing movies are shown as generic movie icons in the iTunes panel. How do I get the original movies to show up again and transfer to the iPhone?

    I just noticed that some of the movies I had in iTunes did not get transferred to the iPhone 5. The missing movies are shown as generic movie icons in the iTunes panel and are checked to select them. But they do not show up in iPhone Videos. How do I get the original movies to show up again and transfer to the iPhone? I recently upgraded Mac OS to 10.6.8

    1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
    2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

    It won't show up on your Apple TV until it is fully downloaded into iTunes on your computer, have you done this.

  • HT1382 i got an iPad and all my app's, music,  and movies are on it, but when i try to download some apps to mi iPhone, they doesn't appear on the purchased tab, how could i move them back to itunes so i can access thru iCloud?

    (I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!)   I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

  • I'm new to Mac. I have an iPhone and a Mac Mini.  My original iTunes was on a Windows computer that crashed.  So, all of my iTunes Music and Movies are gone.  How do I get the movies and music from my iPhone to the new Mac Mini?

    I'm new to Mac. I have an iPhone and a Mac Mini.  My original iTunes was on a Windows computer that crashed.  So, all of my iTunes Music and Movies are gone.  How do I get the movies and music from my iPhone to the new Mac Mini?

    If you still have the crashed Win computer, you may be able to recover your music and movies from the hard drive. If you have a friend with a hard drive USB connection kit and a PC, they should be able to help.  Otherwise, check locally for computer services that might do that for you (I think Best Buy Geek Squad may be able to help). If the drive itself is in good shape, it shouldn't be too expensive.

  • I made a movie in iMovie then deleted the clips in it. I have reimported the clips in an event with the same name as previously and some clips in the movie are still saying source slip missing even though they are there. What can I do?

    I made a movie in iMovie then deleted the clips in it. I have reimported the clips in an event with the same name as previously and some clips in the movie are still saying source slip missing even though they are there. Some clips are fine in the movie, but most are just black and when I hover over them, it says source clip missing. How to I fix this? Thank You

    I did that too, then I did a migration assistant to a new Mac and ALL of my movies have Source Clip Missing now, even though the original clips are still in the iPhoto Videos.  I can stand to re edit one or two projects, but not ALL.

  • 2 of my movies are no longer working in my iTunes or on my iPod Touch, One doesn't play at all and the other gets to about 29:00 than stops working and I don't want to buy them again. What's happening?

    2 of my movies are no longer working in my iTunes or on my iPod Touch, One doesn't play at all and the other gets to about 29:00 than stops working and I don't want to buy them again. Then also when I added a non-iTunes movie and tried to have iTunes make an iPod/IPhone version it gave me error -4. What's happening to my movies?

    I also have to add that the right earbud only doesn't work on my phone while i'm listening to music. If I'm face timing it's okay. what the heck.

  • My computer will no longer stream videos? The videos are choppy and show static?

    Hello! My macbook pro just recently stopped streaming videos from facebook, youtube, hulu, etc... The videos are choppy and show static. The sound play back is fine but the picture is definitely unclear. I was hoping that there was a simple solution to this as I have never had an issue with this computer before.
    Thanks,
    Charlotte

    Thanks, Lawrence. I figured that was what I was going to have to do in the end. I have a few games with quite a few hours invested, and I worry that I'll lose the progress I have as they do not save to the cloud. I may have to bite the bullet, and just take the plunge to resolve this. I just want a way to easily transfer my "Home Computer" for my iPhone. My laptop is years old and in need of being replaced, and it's about time to upgrade my phone. These life events piling up are making me consider switching to a friendlier OS. I'm not using this as a threat. I just hope some apple high up will read this, and realize that we need alternatives. Life happens.
    Thank you both Paul and Lawrence. I clicked "This helped me" not knowing it would remove the option to choose "This fixed my problem" too. For anyone else reading this thread. Using the guide provided has done both. It has helped me and given me a fix to my current problem. Lawrence has also provided me with the last bit of information I feel is missing from wjosten's guide. That syncing will completely erase all of your data and reinstall it in one fell swoop. It's a great fix. Even if it isn't the exact one I wanted. Thank you again!

  • HT3775 All my movies are .avi and now I cannot access them

    I just purchased a new MacBook Pro and I'm transfering documents. All my movies are in .AVI but new computer says that it's not accessable. How can I fix this?

    Films are currently a one-time only download from Apple - do you not have copies of them on your computer's iTunes, or copy your purchases off the iPad first via File > Transfer Purchases before starting the update ?

  • Movies are from Netflix-finder fork is not working !

    Movies are from Netflix and always worked before.  A finder fork ?  is not working or not reading the movie .

    Then you didn't look in the correct folder. Look in your home Library folder, not the main hard disk Library.
    Also, did you actually follow the directions that Linc posted on your other thread. You seemed to just dismiss them without trying--or at least you didn't say you tried and they didn't work.
