Quality Options Missing - Quicktime 7.6.6

I work in a casting studio, and we use Quicktime to record auditions. We use iMacs running OSX 10.6. In every other studio at our location that uses QT7.6.6, there are three quality options for movie recording; 'Good', 'Better', and 'Best'. However, I installed QT7.6.6 on a computer that didnt previously have it, and the ony options we are getting is 'Good' and 'Better'. We need to be using the quality named 'Best'. Why is this option not here and ho do I get it back? I have already uninstalled and reinstalled. Thanks for your help.

Thank you for the suggestion. Yes, I tried modifying the properties of each shortcut. Unfortunately, for all three the button which reads "Change Icon..." is grayed out and can not be selected. I performed a clean install of Windows Vista prior to installing any Apple software on my computer, so I am wondering if this error lies within the current iTunes/QT Windows installers. Although, I have yet to read about any recent, similar issues on these forums so I am back at square one.

Quality option missing

When i upgraded to Win7 I can no longer find the option for adjusting quality of print (low/draft or high etc) for Laserjet 2015dn

If you're just using the printer driver that came with Windows 7, you may not have all of the options of a more full featured driver. Go ahead and download one of the drivers from the HP website and install:

Convert to .flv in Quicktime Pro - Option missing?

Hello,
I need to convert my .mov files from FCP X to .flv (on my Mac 10.7.5). I bought QuickTime 7 Pro for this, because I saw with my own eyes the flv export option, with choices of different video dimensions, on a friend's Mac. But in my QT Pro, this option is missing. He says he didn't add any components to get this.
Does anyone understand this, and know how I can get the FLV option? Is there a simple component to add? (I can not buy the whole Adobe package.)
Alternatively, any other suggestions of cheap/free, trustworthy video converters would be very much appreciated.
Thank you!

I may very well be the case, as I don't recall that option when I was using MX 2004. I can say that 12 handles video and video controllers beautifully. If they have a demo of it, you may want to download it and give it a try for this feature alone. It may only be a temporary fix, but you'll be pleased with the results.
When I used MX 04, I tended to use FFMPEGX to convert MOV files to FLV, but half the time I came up with those zero kb files like you. Pre Flash 10, I found that if something wasn't exactly right, FFMPEGX would not do the trick. The "export to FLV" option in Quicktime 7 Pro that comes with Flash 8 is really robust and has not once produced ill results, plus, it's remarkably fast.
I use FLV Converter for Mac at work... I dont' know how much it costs but it's ridiculously easy to use and the compression is fantastic.

Why are capture quality options so limited?

For some reason when I purchased the pro version of Quicktime (7.1.3) I thought I would be able to capture video in many formats. The only options I'm presented with are device native, MPEG-4 and H.264. I want to capture in a DV format that I can use in Final Cut Pro or iMovie. I can export a movie I have captured to DV, but would rather capture it in that quality. Since Quicktime is at the heart of Final Cut Pro and iMovie, why is the capture feature so limited? And isn't there any way to customize the screen size - or am I limited to 640 by 480? I'm not really impressed with the quality of my video captured in Device Native (despite using a Canopus ADVC 1394 capture card) and would like to try to get as uncompressed a video as possible. Any advice?

I want to capture in a DV format that I can use in Final Cut Pro or iMovie.
As Collin pointed out, the "Device Native" option is DV. However, be advised that QT Pro does not "lock" the frame rate as well as FCP, FCE, iMovie, Vidi, or a number of other editor and/or capture applications. The better question question here is, "Why aren't you capturing these files directly to whichever editor you plan to use?" Both Final Cut and iMovie will capture the files directly to your project at the same quality as your digital source file or commensurate with the capability of any analog-to-digital converter used.
Since Quicktime is at the heart of Final Cut Pro and iMovie, why is the capture feature so limited? And isn't there any way to customize the screen size - or am I limited to 640 by 480?
Once again, Colin is correct here. If you look at the "Show Movie Info" window for your captured movie you should see that the "Video Format" is "DV, 720 x 480 (853 x 480), Million." The 720 x 480 is the rectangular pixel aspect ratio while 853 x 480 is the square pixel rendering of the same data. Since QT is DV knowledgeable, it displays the file on a square pixel monitor as a standard definition VGA (640 x 480) display which would normally depict what you would see on a rectangular pixel SD TV. If the aspect ratio of your source is other than 4:3, then the display will be disported in the QT Player. However, as Collin attempted to point out, the Apple video editor applications should be able to correctly identify and display a properly encoded DV file. (Remember, capturing of SD letterboxed content will remain both SD and letterboxed so don't expect the software to perform any crop/rescale actions during captures.)
I'm not really impressed with the quality of my video captured in Device Native (despite using a Canopus ADVC 1394 capture card) and would like to try to get as uncompressed a video as possible.
Short of creating files from scratch on your computer, DV is about as uncompressed as your can get. Never used a Canopus capture card but have been more than satisfied with the ADVC-300 box. Biggest impact on quality will likely be the quality of the actual source files and how they are getting to your card.

Print Dialogue does not show print quality options on MacBook

I am trying to print wirelessly from my Macbook Pro to a HP 5500 connected to G5. I can print no problems, but I can't control the print quality as this option does not appear in the print dialogue box.
When I print the same page from my G4 powerbook I get print quality options in the dialogue. Both laptops are running 10.4.8 and connecting wirelessly by an airport network. The printer is plugged in the G5 not an airport express.

Hi there,
As Scapesuiter has mentioned, it would be best to check the HP web site to see if there is a Universal driver for your printer. These are drivers that have been written to work on the new Intel Mac's and on the previous Power PC (PPC) Mac's.
If there isn't a Universal driver, you can still use the older PPC driver, however you will experience problems like you are getting when printing from a Universal application via a PPC driver. Usually you see a line through the option that is not available, but I guess another symptom could be that the option is not viewable. Anyway, for some Universal applications, you can choose to open them using the Rosetta emulator. With the application closed, select its icon in the Finder and do a Get Info (Cmd - I). In the window that appears there may be the option "Open using Rosetta". If there is, select this option, close the window and open the application. Now try to print and see if the option is present.
Regards,
Paul

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

Acrobat 9 Std - Comments- 'Enable for Commenting And Analysis In Reader' option Missing

Hi,
We've purchased a copy of Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard, and need to enable comments in Reader for PDFs that we create in Acrobat. The option to "Enable For Commenting And Analysis In Reader" seems to be missing from the "comments" menu, even though all the videos/tutorials insist it's there.
I haven't found any threads about this yet, and searched google for the missing option + "missing" along with other things. Nothing related came up.
Any ideas on what we could try? Or why this is happening?
Thanks!

I don't think Standard has this option. Acrobat Pro does.

Sony VRD-MC1: Rec Quality Options

I have a Hi8 video I want to transfer to DVD.
I see there are many Rec quality options. Which one of those options will give me top quality?
HQ - HSP - SP - LP - SLP
My final goal is to digitize all Hi8 videos into DVDs so I can transfers and edit them than later in my Mac.
So I can record than back finally again into DVDs.

Among the 5 options, HQ is the one that gives you the highest quality videos. You can get more information about this on page 33 of the VRD-MC1 Operating Instructions guide.

When converting from a .wav to a .mov is there a loss of audio quality when using QuickTime?

When converting from a .wav to a .mov is there a loss of audio quality when using QuickTime?

When converting from a .wav to a .mov is there a loss of audio quality when using QuickTime?
That would depend on your work flow. MOV is the generic QuickTime file container and is not related to any particular data compression format. If you perform a simple "Save" or "Save As..." action that merely copies the data in the WAV file to an MOV file, then the data remains unchanged and maintains its original quality. If, on the other hand, your transcode/re-compress the original data to a different compression format, then there is always the potential for some loss in quality. Depending on the codec and/or settings, the potential loss could be inaudible to severe.

Does Acrobat X Standard have Post Script and Press Quality option, please?

Does Acrobat X Standard have Post Script and Press Quality option, please? Can anybody help please?

The current version is Acrobat XI (not for XP or Vista). Adobe no longer sell Acrobat 9 or 10. So you would be buying in the "aftermarket". Which is fine, except that there are many fraudsters in there, doing things from selling versions that were upgraded (making you in violation of the license) to selling outright fakes, which often don't work at all, or stop when Adobe later blocks fraudulent serial numbers, or in the worst case also sneak malware onto the computer. So take great care selecting a seller. Beware of "too good to be true" prices, but the fraudsters are now wise to this too and may sell at a high price to seem legitimate.

Missing Quicktime Components in iMovie 11

So recently my iMovie had been acting up and crashing on my user so I decided to log out, switch users, and access one of my family member's empty iMovies on my mac book. However, when I tried to open it, a message came up saying that iMovie couldn't open unless I deleted some 3ivx stuff or something like that. So I decided to delete that stuff along with old video conversion apps I had once downloaded but never used again.
Somewhere within that deleting spree I must have deleted something that created a problem with iMovie.
Everytime I open iMovie on any user, the notorious "Missing Quicktime Components" message comes up.
When I click "OK" iMovie opens normally. And at first I thought nothing was wrong. But then I noticed I can't export movies, import things from my cameras, change the lengths of titles, and change the speed of my clips...
I have been searching everywhere and have tried almost everything to fix it.
I deleted the iMovie cache stuff and plist, updated my computer, deleted iMovie and reinstalled it via the app store, with no luck.
A lot of people suggest reinstalling through the start up discs but here's the thing:
1. My laptop is 4 years old. I have no idea where those discs are at this point.
2. My macbook was brand new in 2009, came with iLife 09. I purchased iMovie 11 through the app store, without a disc, so I basically have iMovie 11 and iPhoto 09 and Garageband 09. If I found my start up discs, wouldn't it just reinstall iMovie 09? I really don't want to buy the whole iLife 11 disk package, especially since I've heard it hasn't even fixed the problem for some people.
Please help.
I have a MacBook Pro from 2009
Running on Mountain Lion 10.8.5
iMovie 11 version 9.0.9 (says my computer is incompatible to update to the newest purple icon version... not that i really want to it has terrible reviews!)
Thanks!

Alright so I solved my own problem after hours and hours of google searches.
What worked was I reinstalled Mountain Lion on my laptop
I found the cause of the problem as well, if anyone out there is curious if they have the same issue.
What happened was, iMovie told me to delete some third party video conversion stuff and when I deleted that I also accidentally deleted those super important Quicktime codecs.
You can check if you have the same problem as me by opening Finder. Click "Go" in the top bar, "Computer" in the drop down list. Select "Macintosh HD" from the Finder window, click on the folder labeled "Library", then click on the folder labeled "Quicktime". Inside the Quicktime folder you should see these two little icons labeled "AppleIntermediateCodec.component" and "AppleMPEG2Codec.component"
If you do not have these iMovie can't function properly.
First, check your trash! If you accidentally deleted it, those are what you're looking for to take out.
If you were dumb like me and emptied your trash, just reninstall Mountain Lion. The codec components of Quicktime come with Mountain Lion so they're not something you can download from the internet or pay for. Reinstalling takes FOREVER but it works.
To reinstall Mountain Lion:
-Restart your computer, while it's on the gray start up screen hold the buttons "Command" and the letter "R"
-A gray screen and box should open up, simply click the Reinstall button and after a couple hours your problem will be fixed!
Reinstalling DOES NOT delete any of your stuff!
(Unless something goes wrong)
I really hope this helps!
