QT pro question about direct video capture to mov file

I am thinking about buying QT pro because I would like to record video directly from my Sony mini DV camcorder to a QT file. Can you control the destination of the QT file being created to a second HD or flash drive? I don't want to capture video and fragment my macbook pros HD. Second can you control the size of video being captured? I don't need to have full screen video and would like to save HD space on my secondary drive.
Thanks for any help.

Can you control the destination of the QT file being created to a second HD or flash drive?Yes, see the "Preferences > Recording > Save Files to:" option.
I don't want to capture video and fragment my macbook pros HD. Second can you control the size of video being captured?Size is tied to the "Quality:" pop-up options. (Good -- 320 x 240 MPEG-4 video and AAC @ 128 Kbps, Better -- 320 x 240 H.264vide and AAC @ 128 Kbps, and Devie Native -- raw DV audio and video standard.)

Questions about Air Video.

Hi, I have a couple of questions about Air Video for the Ipad. I have my Mac Pro downstairs and my PC upstairs. Does the Ipad have to be near the computer in order for the videos to play on the Ipad? I have a bunch of videos on my external hard drive. Would it work if I have an external hard drive plugged into the computer or do the videos need to be on the computer itself?

Air video will convert the video for streaming, this includes downscaling it, so it will stream smoothly over the bandwidth available on the network.
Placing media directly on the ipad allows 720p video.
Reality is you will not be able to tell the difference between dvd resolution and hi def on a screen the size of the iPad's.

How do I get premiere elements 13 to read the video of my .mov files?

I am working on a PC. How do I get premiere elements 13 to read the video of my .mov files? I hear the audio but don't see any video.Thank you.

phyllism
Thanks for the reply. Glad that QuickTime install resolved the Premiere Elements 13/13.1 video playback problem.
When you double click any of the thumbnails for your .mov file in the Elements Organizer 13/13.1, does the Elements Organizer 13/13.1's player open to play back the .mov file contents for both video and audio?
You wrote
in the browser, the preview is an audio file, not a QT preview.
I was not sure if you were just going by what appears in the thumbnail, namely film strip with music note, or whether you had gone through the actual playback there. In the Apple Pro Res footage that I have, I get the same thumbnails that you are seeing for Windows Explorer. In Elements Organizer 13/13.1, the thumbnail for my Apple Pro Res file is just a film strip on gray.
I think what you are seeing is "normal" for the situation. But, please verify your observation with 13 updated to 13.1 if you have not done that already.
Thanks.

Do I need Quicktime Pro to run Elgato Video Capture?

I purchased Elgato Video Capture device for archiving old alalogue video etc. On installation and installing updates I recieved a message saying:
Elgato Video Capture cannot run because an old version of the 3vix QuickTime component is installed.
Please upgrade or uninstall the 3vix QuickTime component. More info at http://www.3ivx.com/ .
I run Quicktime 10.0 on a macbook pro which has always been reliable. Should I really remove the 3vix component or will this affect my Quicktime player. I could download Quicktime Pro but at a further cost of 29 USD (about 17 GBP sterling ?)
Anyone any advice?
Thanks

Remove the component. QuickTime 10 can't use it anyway.
You don't need the "Pro" upgrade of QuickTime Player 7.

Question about posting video in iWeb

hi, I'm having problems with a video that's I've put on a page in iWeb. it's a quicktime mp4 of about 52 megs.
but godaddy.com does not see the video on some sites, and on others it boots very slowly
is that too big a video to post?
should I do a webstreaming export?
any ideas?
Michael

Dragging a video file onto an iWeb page is not the best way to go since the movie file has to download with the web page. If you want to depend on the QuickTime plugin, you are better using one of the methods shown on this page...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/Poster-Movie.html
To make sure it plays in all browsers its better to use a fallback code...

Export your movie as H.264, fast start for internet streaming so that the movie can start to play before the whole file downloads in the browser.

Question about uploading videos/movies

hi guys and gals
i just recently bought a 30GB ipod video for my little cousin and he asked me a question that i do not have an answer to.
he knows how to upload music from his itunes to his ipod (drag music into the ipod icon) but he can't figure out how to upload movies/videos.
i know that the format of the video has to be quicktime or something that is compatible with mac. he uses windows and i believe his videos are AVI or some weird nonesense.
can you please, in easy steps, tell me how to upload videos into the ipod? thanks!

Upload videos same way you do songs-just drag them over if you haven't enabled autoupdate.
Videos have to be in a specific format, found under iPod tech specs on apple website.
Here:
H.264 video: up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats

A question about restoring from cold backup(control file backup not clear)

Hi,
I had another question about restoring the cold backup. My database is in noarchivelog mode and after taking a consistent cold backup, all I need to do is to restore the backup right? -Why I got this question is because: when I backup my control file to trace, I see statements like this:-----
-- Commands to re-create incarnation table
-- Below log names MUST be changed to existing filenames on
-- disk. Any one log file from each branch can be used to
-- re-create incarnation records.
-- ALTER DATABASE REGISTER LOGFILE '/uo1/app1/arch1_1_647102958.dbf';
-- Recovery is required if any of the datafiles are restored backups,
-- or if the last shutdown was not normal or immediate.
RECOVER DATABASE
-- Database can now be opened normally.
ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
My database is in noarchivelog mode now so don't know why these statements (of register the logfile) is there in the backup of control file? so when I restore the cold backup of this database, it will still work correct? (there is no logfile I have only CRD files in cold backup -no archive log files.)
thanks

Thanks for your inputs! It is most useful to me.

Three questions about removing a numbered Mail message file

ClamXav, the anti-virus program, has found several old messages filed by Mail.app v4.4 that are infected with various exploits. Finder shows that the filenames for these messages are numbered, followed by the email file extension, like this: 359959.emlx
Question 1: Can I simply delete these files individually via the Finder and do nothing else, calmly confident in the knowledge that Mail.app, robust as Apple engineers can make it, doesn't care a whit whether an individual mail file is there or not?
Or
Question 2: Do I have to locate them via Mail's interface and delete them from there because otherwise Mail.app, so fragile, will have a fit, die, explode or wither to a pathetic whimper of its former self because I had the temerity to delete a file without genuflecting and consulting it?
Or
Question 3: If I have to locate the files and delete them via Mail, how do I use the file name to point to a specific message in Mail's inscrutable interface?
Thanks.

I'd just delete them. However, if you're worried about it, just leave them alone. They can't hurt anything.

Extracting video metadata from .mov files using QuickTime SDK for Windows

I'm trying to create a service which will process .mov files and extract some statistical information from it, such as length, bitrate, video height / width , and if it's possible info about audio, such as audio levels number of channels etc.
I've downloaded a sample application which came with SDK and it uses a visual control (Asp.net) to load file url into and then extracts a Movie object which has most of the info I need.
problem:
I don't have ability to load a visual control as my program is a service application. Can someone tell me how it's possible to load movie object without using visual control and fetch all the metadata I need.
Thanks

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.

Newbie question: How to share large QT movie files exported from FCP X?

Well, I've navigated through FCP X for the first time and I now have 16 QuickTime movie files I have exported from FCP X. Each file is a song from a live band performance. The files are:
- Apple ProRes 422
- 1920 x 1080
- 24-bit
- Frame rate 29.97 fps
Now I need to share these files with the band members. They will use them for two purposes:
- Watch, as feedback on their performance. In this case, I'd like to preserve the quality as much as possible
- Put some of the movies on YouTube, where quality will be lost, of course. They may post only short clips from the songs.
These 16 .mov files total 115GB. The smallest is 6.5GB, the largest is 13.9GB.
The quality of the movies is fantastic, both video and audio. I cringe to think about degrading the quality............but I have the practical problem of how to get the files to five different band members.
I normally distribute audio files I've mixed in Pro Tools via DVD-R discs, but the files are much smaller.
What are my options for sharing the files?
Do I need to use an application like Compressor to compress the files (ugh) to get them onto multiple DVD-R's?
I would assume this is a common problem that all FCP X users deal with.

I strongly recommend you to use Compressor. It is easy to use and there a lot of presets.

Deleted Sections of Video Remain In .MOV File

Hi I am new to this forum and wonder if I may ask a question regarding QuickTime Pro v7.5.5.
I have recently taken a video clip using my Kodak DX7440 digital camera and have used QuickTime Pro v7.5.5 to delete a few seconds from the start and end of it.
This works fine within QuickTime itself, and the deleted clips are absent as desired, but when I go to Nero Vision (v7) to burn the video clip to a DVD, the deleted sections are still there, and I find this quite annoying, as I then have to perform the edit all over again before burning.
It seems the deleted sections are still within the .MOV file. Is there any way to get rid of them completely ?
Many thanks in advance for advice.

Thanks for reply - but the Undo is greyed out, and doesn't affect it. I also tried Export but when playing the exported file I got a green colored still video picture displaying (but with sound OK). I suspect there is a bug of some kind causing my problem.

Trouble with video playback on .mov files. Please help!

I have some .mov files that were transferred onto a USB and they're not working properly. The audio during playback works fine but the screen remains black for the entire video. There are 45 videos and all have the same issue. Already tried them on QuickTime (latest version), Windows Media Player, Divx, Movie Maker and Powerdirector. Nothing seems to be working. Tried downloading a couple of Codecs as well.
It's probably something really silly but I'm out of ideas. Anyone?

Hi Bazookajoe117,
As already suggested by Jacumba your symptoms point to a lack of required codec in your system.
Take a look at below post to find out the commonly used codecs in QT that would allow you to play the files without any issue.

Quicktime Pro 7.6.5 can't edit MOV files

When I use the "show movie properties" I get an error that quicktime is unable to load the property panel. I've never had this problem with any previous version of Quicktime Pro. Even older MOV files that were fine under older versions of QT are causing this error in version 7.

If you exported the files from iMovie, you more than likely used the Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC), for which there is no decoder component on Windows. Short story: these files will never playback on a PC. Either work with the original MOD files (search around here, there are suggestions of how to do so) or re-export from iMovie and be sure to use a different codec, like DV or MJPEG. Those should playback just fine on the PC.

Comprehensive overview/question about organizing videos and movies

I've made a few movies here and there in the original iMovie, have made a fair amount of home movies using FCE. I have 20 years worth of videos scattered around on HI-8 formatting and some videos I downloaded from a hand held digital cheapo-movie cam. I'm to the point of trying to figure out the big picture on importing, structuring, storing, and sharing these files between iMovie, FCEHD 3.5.1, mobileme, my iPhone, etc.
I'm now wanting to start uploading movies to gallery.me.com. I started doing some of this before I got cancer last year. I'm basically restarting this whole process now that I'm beyond the rigors of chemotherapy and I'm trying to make a systematic approach to managing video files and already made movies. I have a lot of questions and would appreciate any insight you can offer in this discussion forum or if you recommend I copy this over to another discussion forum. I'm not sure to even begin hot to explain all this, so be patient as I try to start this process.
#1 - I've tried using iMovie 8 in the past. I ended up, somehow, with clips here, there, and who knows where. The original iMovie seemed rather straight forward and seemed to work in conjunction with iPhoto rather seamlessly. As iMovie made that big change some time back, I quickly backed out of using that program to manage clips as I couldn't find where they were stored and more importantly, they seemed to start disappearing after time. Is iMove 08 a good resource to manage clips or is it a bit of a dead end for people who are using various programs such as FCE and so forth? Seems the transparency of how the newer iMovie manages files is a bit not-so-transparent to me anymore and I simply am not finding many of the files in iMovie 08 that I can easily spot in iPhoto. Not sure what has happened there, but I can find the files in iPhoto and browse them, but NOT in iMovie 08. Help?
#2 - the only real reason I'm asking about iMovie at all is that I want to start uploading files from HI-8 tapes into my computer rather quickly and make simple basically unedited videos of what is on the Hi-8 tapes, then perhaps transport onto mobileme and/or make some DVD's. I did a few of those somehow before the cancer/chemo deal, but can't really recall the exact steps I took. Rough bout with cancer last year and my brain is a bit fried to be honest, not to mention all of this is a big hard to grasp deal for a RN who isn't trained in video stuff at this point in his life. Besides, I ended up having to reinstall my entire OS - long story. Bottom line, the few movies I do have on mobileme are in .m4v format. Not a big deal when using my mac at home, but notice that it causes iTunes to load onto my pc's at work or when visiting friends. Slow, clunky, and not sure how it wound up in that format. I'm thinking I did that somehow through iMovie or Quicktime 7 Pro. Before I go that route again, I need to ask about #3.
#3 - I just exported my first high definition video from FCE. I did so because we got our first new TV in 22 years, nice HD flat screen. I'm wanting to start understanding options for exporting videos onto mobileme. I got Quicktime Pro 7 and used the H264 or some option like that (file>share). It was able to take 1.5 gig high def video I did over my cancer journey and put it seamlessly onto mobileme. But it is in the .m4v video option which seems to cause some people and computers problems because of the whole proprietary iTunes angle. Is there a way around this being forced to use iTunes and simply share to mobileme gallery using .mov? I tried the file>export option, seems to want to use movie folder and I'm guessing that is another iTunes deal.
#4 - as I load files into my computer from HI-8 format and the newer cheap little HD dual SD card camera I got, those seem to either want to go into iMovie's folders (which I mentioned my confusion about above) or I can manually put them into a file structure that I'm slowly learning to build using FCE. I don't mind the FCE option and it seems logical. I still run into the problem of how to share web based content of the videos. Using iDVD is rather straightforward, but I'm wanting to use some kind of web centric approach to sharing my videos on the output and have one big file structure for organizing my files/videos on the input.
I notice that iMovie has many exporting/sharing options in its menu. Are they really any different/better/worse than what I have with quicktime Pro 7? Should I even try to utilize iMovie at all or simply go with the capture option on FCE? I at least can find the files and organize them with FCE.
I'm not sure how to further word this at the moment as I'm trying to better understand all this as I'm moving forward.
Any suggestions you might have at this point would be most beneficial. I'm sure as I get further into this, I'll start clarifying my own questions and thoughts.
Any resources you can point me to for newer (but not totally new) to video structure input/exporting on the mac?
Thanks,
Robert

Robert,
A lot of questions, perhaps to much to go into detail but,
I can second the views of AppleMan
Since iMovie 08 I finally am able to organize and categorize my clips in an easy way. Just recently I made a DvD for one of my grandchildren containing a selection of events from over the last to years. Really a joy (not only the kid ). This would have been a much larger job without that.
When I like to do real "sophisticated" movie editing I use FCE and pick up the clips from the eventsfolder from iMovie.
Of course if you are happy with FCE for organizing (I found that a bit hard), you always can use the File->export-> quicktime movie feature and use Quicktime for uploading to mobileme or use the File->export->Quicktime conversion function.
Also within iMovie you can use the: share ->export with Quicktime, and use that to export your movie in the format you prefer.
