Problem w/ quicktime pro on windows 2k professional

I installed quicktime standalone, then upgraded to quicktime pro and added the mpeg-2 plugin.
when i open dvd's (*.vob format) I can play the video but I don't get sound. (no audiotrack visible) I can rip the sound from the vob file and add it and then it plays OK but no direct sound.
I added each and every driver (including direct X) possible for windows but no result.
But the worst is that I can't cut. The cut and paste does not highlight and although it says "quicktime pro" in the quicktime control panel nothing happens.
I am getting desperate and thinking about scratching quicktime off my HD and asking for my money back.
Is there any hope?!?

Not all audio formats are supported by the MPEG-2 Playback Component.
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/faq.html
QuickTime Pro doesn't edit "playback formats" (like MPEG 1 or 2) so you won't see any edit options on these files.
You'll need some third party software to convert your MPEG-2 files into QuickTime formats (DV Stream is best for preserving quality) if you wish to edit.
"Is there any hope?"
Sure. Use third party software to convert and QT Pro to edit.

Apple doesn't refund "downloaded" purchases.

  • Problems Using QuickTime Pro on Windows to Compress Movies for E-mailing

    I have a windows system but just installed QuickTime Pro because I understood it would allow compression of movies (home movie segments of no more than 5 minutes) to facilitate e-mailing them. QuickTime instructions describing easy use of a "Share" feature seem geared to the MAC operating system--I have no such option. I've tried opening my movie using Quicktime, going to File, exporting (Movie to Quicktime Movie) with default settings (H.264 compression, quality high, key frame rate 24, etc., audio at format integer, sample rate 11.024 khz, etc.) and prepare for internet streaming (fast start). The movie goes into my Quick Time movie files without much compression--going from an AVI file of 60.4 MB to a quicktime movie of 40.8 MB. This is much larger than the quicktime movies emailed to me of longer duration which were only a few MB. Any help for a novice who at this point only wants to compress and email movies? Thanks.

    That sounds like the sound is being exported in
    uncompressed format. Suggest you open one of these
    filesw and use MovieInfo in the Windows menu to see
    what format is being used for the sound. If it is
    listed as uncompressed or raw or PCM, you may want to
    try using mpeg-4 sound (aac or advance audio
    compression).
    Thanks much. I tried saving the file using the AAC option (rather than Linear PCM) and that got it down only slightly (from 40.8 to 40.5 MB). I'll just keep experimenting.

  • Quicktime Pro for Windows

    I bought Quicktime Pro for windows because of the beautiful advertisement. It had to be possible to convert every video into every format possible.
    I tried to convert several mpg en mov files (from Sony camera) into mp4 and 3GP. Playing of these mpg and mov- files in QT is not a problem, even with audio. So it doesn't seem a codec problem. But after exporting these files into other format, there is no audio anymore.
    If I change a mov or mpg file and save it in the same file-format, audio is not corrupted.
    What is it that I do wrong?

    QT does not export sound from muxed mpeg files: QT Mpeg Limitations. This freeware should do the trick: Mpeg StreamClip
    If the mpegs in question are mpeg-2 you will need to buy the mpeg2playbackcomponent from Apple ($20 US). Note that these programs will not work with encrypted Hollywood movies.

  • Export H264 pass-through movie with embedded text track QuickTime Pro 7 Windows?

    Using QuickTime Pro 7 for Windows, I add a text track with closed captions to my H264 .mp4 videos. 
    The text track works great until I try to export it.  After I've added the text track, the text track is displayed as long as the track is selected to be active using the Movie Inspector track GUI.
    My movies are encoded as H264 for cross-platform compatibility, and need to remain in this format.  The only way to save them in QuickTimePro 7 for Windows is to Export Movie to MPEG-4.  I select Pass-Through mode to retain the resolution and bandwidth parameters that I initially encoded the video with.
    Unfortunately, after I export to MPEG-4, the caption track is lost.  It disappears.  When I open the newly exported MPEG-4 caption file, and select Movie Inspector, the caption track is missing.  Inspector only shows video and audio tracks.
    If QuickTime Pro 7 for Windows correctly exported my text track with the video and audio tracks, then users would be able to view the closed captions upon playback in QuickTime Player by selecting View--> Show Closed Captioning (Ctrl+Alt+T).
    Anyone been able to export to MPEG-4 pass-through movie with embedded text track QuickTime Pro 7 Windows?
    Thank you!

  • Need to reinstall Quicktime Pro on Windows 7

    I have been trying to reinstall Quicktime Pro onto Windows 7. I got a new computer with Windows 7. I used to have Quicktime Pro on my old PC - Windows XP. I know the product key. But forgot the order number (dummy me, I forgot to save that email). I hope I don't have to buy it again.

    Oh, I found my information about my purchase. Good thing I saved it (Didn't think I did). Hope I can download it and reinstall it without having to pay for it again.

    No, it cannot.

  • How to transfer Quicktime Pro for windows to mac?

    My step-father recently purchased quicktime pro for windows. Oddly enough he received his new iMac about a week later. While trying to activate Quicktime Pro on his mac he realized that pro purchased for windows will only work on windows. Is there anyway to transfer the purchase to mac?

    Sorry, you (he) have to buy a separate license for QT Pro for Mac.

  • Video masking problem in Quicktime Pro 7.5.5

    I've been using Quicktime for Windows for some time. I have had Quicktime Pro 7, and upgraded as needed (when Itunes says so). I've discovered that I can no longer mask videos with Quicktime 7.5.5 When I mask the video track as usual by adding an image, the video frame starts to resize, but then freezes, and quicktime quits running. I can still mask videos if I uninstall 7.5.5 run an earlier version of Quicktime 7...but then Itunes doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated.

    QuickTimeKirk,
    Thanks for replying. I checked out the Movie Inspector and here's the info:

    Given this infomation what does this tell you? I don't see anything listing a

    Additionally, this prompt comes up:

    +may be available from the QT Components page.+
    +Make sure your internet network connection is active, then click+
    +the Continue button to check for the software.+
    When I access this page, there is a variety of QT Components available. I have read them, tried a few but no luck yet. Here's the link. Maybe you can tell me which (if any) component will solve this problem.

  • Is there a 64 bit Quicktime Pro for Windows?

    I just purchased a 64 bit vista machine for video editing and I'm looking for a 64 bit version of quicktime pro. I've installed quicktime on this machine and notice that it runs as a 32 bit process. I want to take full advantage of my hardware, and therefore want a version of QT Pro that is made for the 64 bit architecture. There is no information on apple's website that I could find about this. Does anyone in the community know if apple has made such a version of QT Pro???
    Thanks!

    I believe the libraries for QuickTime (QTKit) are indeed 64 bit. However, 64 bit under OSX is very different from 64 bit under Windows. There are a few good websites that can help explain the difference, here's one that is fairly straightforward.

  • Can't save changes in Quicktime pro on Windows 8.1

    I can't save any changes i make in quicktime pro 7.7.5. I am trying to trim a video clip.
    I am using QP just as i would on my mac version, modifying start and end points.
    When i click save, literally nothing happens .not even an eror message, nothing.

    OK. That rules out a "reference movie".
    You make a "selection" (in and out points) in the timeline and then you're using the "Cut" or "Trim to Selection" from the Edit menu?
    And then "Save As" or "Save"? Do you get the next window where you can edit the file name and change the destination directory?

  • Text tracks no longer visible in Quicktime Pro for Windows 7.7.2?

    I opened a text track in Quicktime Pro 7.7.2, and none of the text was visible. I verified with a text track that I know used to work a few months ago, and it also was not visible.
    I rolled back to Quicktime Pro 7.6 for Windows, and re-opened the files, and they worked again. Has anyone else encountered this issue? I know the 7.7.2 update involved a security patch to the way text tracks were handled.
    Thanks.

    I love computers.
    Have managed to fix this already. Been working the issue for a few days now, and a few minutes after writing the above post I decided to reset the Time Capsule to factory default settings.
    After entering all my details again (used same network names, passwords etc) the Time Capsule was rebooted. When it came back on line - guess what? Yep, the MyBook WD drive is now visibile. I can connect via the network from my other machines to the drive, and iTunes is back.
    So - thought I would post my resolution in case it helps others.

  • Quicktime Pro and WIndows Vista

    Hi.
    I just bought Quicktime Pro, and was looking for ways to upgrade my quicktime. I tried to follow the online instructions.
    Except that the Online instructions don't work for Windows Vista, because the instructions are set for XP. I know this because there is no Quicktime Control Panel in my computer's Control Panel. Unless I'm doing something wrong, which I might be.
    However, the issue is driving me up the wall and I'd really appreciate some help in getting to actually input the registration code SOMEWHERE.
    Thank you.

    QuickTime 7 Pro is activated by downloading the QuickTime 7 software from the Apple website. What you actually paid for is the registration to unlock the Pro features within QuickTime. What you should do is:
    1) download the latest version of QuickTime 7 and install in on your machine.
    2) there should be an icon in the Control Panel for both Vista + XP called "QuickTime" (if u don't see it, switch the Control Panel to Classic View located on the left hand tasks
    - OR -
    Open QuickTime 7 directly and click *Edit > Preferences > Register*
    3) enter your necessary registration info then click OK/Apply
    When it has updated, you can choose to update the software from *Help > Update Existing Software*

  • Quicktime pro and windows media formats

    hi !
    im using win xp pro and have installed quicktime pro to convert my videofiles for my new ipod
    that works fine for .avi-, and .mov-files but not for .wmv or m.peg movies
    what plugins do i need to play/convert these types of files too ?
    thanks for feedback !
    Kurt

    QuickTime can't even be used to open WMP formats without third party software help. On a Mac we use http://flip4mac.com and pay extra money for the feature.
    As I stated above, QuickTime Pro can't extract audio from muxed formats so you must start with a third party application. MPEG Streamclip works for Windows and OS X and is free.

  • Quicktime Pro for Windows Tutor

    Can anyone steer me to a site that has some basic instructions on how to use the various fuctions of QT Pro (for Windows). I'll spent several hours today googling for this type of info and haven't found too much. I know this is a forum for prople having specific problems with QTP, and I have read dozens of pages here but I would still like a good primer on how best to use the various fuctions. My primary interest at the present is making home movies (.mov) and editing them with QTP and Windows Movie Maker.
    Thanks

    QuickTime for windows error -2048 has been consistant for many moons. With not opening file formats that are not supported. Unlikely caused by a battery or camera...

  • Quicktime Pro for Windows crashes after flattening file

    I'm running QuickTime Pro 7.7.1 for Windows.  A few weeks ago, I opened an M4V file, cut out some segments, and invoked "Save As" a quicktime .MOV file.  Given the option to save as a "reference" movie or a "self contained" movie, I chose "reference" movie.  Said "reference" movie plays exactly as I intended, as long as the original M4V file is present.  Today I wanted to eliminate that requirement, so I opened the reference movie and saved it again to a new .MOV file, this time choosing the "self contained" option.  A "flattening movie" dialog appeared, and when it got to 100%, Quicktime crashed!
    I tried the same experiment, one running Windows XP Pro and one running Windows 7 Pro, and got the same result each time.  What can I do now?

    I haven't [yet] tried it with other M4V files, but I will and get back to you.
    BTW, after it crashed, I restarted QuickTime and opened the newly-created "self contained" movie and it seemed to play OK,  So despite the inconvenience of having to restart, the crash didn't seem to affect the end product of my work.
