Qucktime Pro for Windows lacks same features as Mac Version!?

I am very dissatified to learn (after purchasing) that QT Pro for windows does NOT have a Video Capture Feature.
The reps at Apple tech support all told me the program was exactly the same as the Mac version. So I purchased it only to discover no Video Capture option, only Audio.
I am writing on this forum:
A) to let others know that this is not a bug,
B) to let Apple become aware so that their own employees understand their products better.
C) to help Apple realize that they need to change their website (as it just glosses over this issue with vague feature descriptions on the windows version of the QT Pro site and also in hopes that Apple will change its decisions to disable Windows versions in order to allow their Apple version to be slightly better for marketing reasons... there can be no reason why simple Video Capture (at least thru DV) shouldnt be in the software on the Win version and
D) to ask if anyone knows of any 3rd party plugins that will allow for Video Capture thru QT Pro.
(so far my 2 previous posts were deleted... so I dont expect too much here, but I am trying to be constructive with my criticism. Apple please help!?)
(copying this message to tech support and Apple product management in case it is deleted, they will be also notified of that)
thanks for any help, I'm sorry it has come to this...
Anyone know of a plugin?

thanks for finally answering. Even if you deleted the previous post, you could have emailed me about the issue. Instead it just disappeared.
I'm not an Apple employee. We're all just your fellow users here. I just know a complaint post when I see one.
So Why does the windows version "lack the support architecture
Only the QuickTime project engineers could answer that.
in the Mac version, it does say Video and Audio capture, and on the Win version, it says "Video and Audio Creation features" and it also lists Audio Capture... But dont you think it shoudl list somewhere "VIDEO CAPTURE FEATURE ala the Mac version is NOT INCLUDED". Why be vague about it?
It's not vague to me. If a feature isn't listed, I don't presume that it exists. But again, if you want to comment on this to Apple, use the Feedback page I gave in my previous post.
even tho you say there is no way a plugin would work, I did find a Java based plugin that is supposed to work... havent installed it yet.
I presume you're referring to QuickTime Capture. That's not a true QuickTime plugin, it's an applet, but we'd be getting into semantics, so I won't belabor the point. If that is indeed the Java applet you're referring to, it seems to be a frame-by-frame grabber, not a true video importer, so I'm not sure it's going to work for you. But of course there's no harm in trying it; it might do the job for you. If not, there are a lot of Windows video import utilities available (including the free Microsoft Movie Maker).

Shocked by lack of features on Mac version compared to Windows. Why?

Just downloaded Premiere elements 11 and shocked to find that the full set of features are not supported on the mac version, most notably the chroma, green and blue keying effects/ filters. Why is this?? I use a mac not as a fashion statement, but because they are the industry standard for creative businesses. ALL photographic, graphic design, editing etc suites use macs, so why give these features to windows and NOT macs? Makes absolutely no sense at all and I am shocked not to mention disappointed!!

There are differences between the Mac and PC platform, and not just with Premiere Elements, but also Premiere Pro. The PC gets more Effects, and Transitions. This was first noted in Premiere Pro CS 3, when it was ported to the Mac. Before, with Premiere Pro 1.0, through CS 2/verson 2.0, the program was PC-only. When PrPro CS 3 was introduced, the Mac-users took note that their PC friends got more than they did.
At that time, there were many posts to the PrPro Forum, regarding the differences. Adobe engineers commented on the differences between how the two platforms handled some aspects of the program - and mainly display functions. This list of Effects & Transitions in CS 3, for Mac and PC, will show what was different between those two platforms: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/460313?tstart=1470 [Note: this was for PrPro, and it has/had many differences, from PrE, so this is not a clear difference chart between PrE for the Mac and the PC, but you can get the idea. It is for background reference use only.]
Something similar happened, when PrPro went from CS 4 to CS 5, which was a 64-bit program ONLY. A lot of Effects and such were lost in the new version, and some were "old stand-bys" for users of the earlier program. In time, a few DID show up in later versions of PrPro, but not all. Some were 32-bit only, and Adobe deemed it too expensive to port all of them to 64-bit, so they were just dropped, and have never reappeared. The same thing happened with many 3rd party plug-ins. Once, they were all 32-bit, and that worked up until CS 5. Most suppliers then went back to the lab, and recoded their plug-ins for 64-bit, but not all. Some just dropped their support for PrPro.
While this does not help you get your job done (ATR's blog post will, however, and that was also why I suggested other Effects for Keying), it shows that PrE is not alone with the differences between platforms.
Good luck and happy editing,

I have Creative Suite 6 Production Premium and InDesign CS5.5 for Windows, but I need the Mac versions of these. Is it possible to swap or exchange these products?

Does Adobe allow exchanging my Windows version of CS6 Production Premium and InDesign CS5.5 for the Mac version? (The CS5.5 box is unopened, and the CS6 is in mint condition.)

You might be able to do something for the CS6 product, but as far as the CS5.5 application goes it will not qualify. See the following:
Order product | Platform, language swap

HELP! HELP! HELP! ****** With Quicktime 5.0 Pro for Windows

I'm in desperate need of a registration code (key number - approx 20 characters) for Quicktime 5.0 Pro for Windows. I have the "free" version of Quicktime 5.0 for Windows, but the poorly designed "Movie Shaker" software from Sony will only work with Quicktime 5.0 for Windows . . . which I have, but I need to unlock some of the grayed out features which require the "Pro" Version.
I've gone to Apple's website and purchased Quicktime 7.0 Pro for Mac and Windows . . . numbers won't work in older versions. I've called Apple Support and they will not provide anything for software that they no longer support . . . thus my "catch 22". I've tried all of my friends, assoiciates, E-bay, everything . . . no luck.
If you are a good samaritan and have a registration number to Quicktime 5.0 Pro for Windows, please e-mail to [email protected] THANKS!!!!!!!!

What a dilemma and a mess you've gotten locked into.
Begging for a key code (to a no longer sold product).
I read (before I purchase) the compatibility of the export formats of a camera.
Knowing Sony's history (and their use of proprietary codecs) I've stopped buying anything they sell.
You may be stuck in yesteryear.
Sorry my response doesn't give an answer.

No video recording capability in Quicktime 7 pro for windows

I'm unable to record a video files in Quicktime 7 pro for windows after inserting Registration key. It took the key and say I now have QT 7 pro but only allows me to record audio files no video. Calling apple support they wound up discovering that video recording was no longer possible with the Windows pro license. Really?

Video recording has never been a feature of QuickTime Player Pro for Windows. It's a Mac only feature.

Acrobat XI Pro for OSX can't open password-protected pdfs created using Acrobat 9 Pro for Windows

I am having problems opening password-protected files created on a PC using Acrobat 9 Pro. I am running a MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.4 with Acrobat XI Pro. When I attempt to enter the password when prompted, a dialogue box pops up saying that I've entered the incorrect password. After many attempts, I am certain that the password entered is correct -- this is reinforced by the fact that i am able to open the same document using Mac's Preview software.
Any assistance would be appreciated!
Thanks.

I was suddenly having the same problem in Acrobat XI Pro for Windows (recently upgraded to CC from Acrobat X). For the past while I've sometimes had to use the "insert from file" tool to get a page added from another file. I couldn't figure out why dragging sometimes would no longer work, but was too busy to go looking for a solution until tonight.
The solution was given by JoshTatum24 above. Switch from a scrolling page display to single page display. Now I can drag pages between documents again. THANK YOU Josh!
Oh, and CORREAdmin, it does not matter whether the hand or arrow selection tool is active, my mouse pointer is always an arrow when positioned in the page thumbnails panel. Switching selection tools does not make a difference in dragging, but switching between scrolling and single page display definitely DOES make the difference.

Screen recording is not a feature of QuickTime Player 7 Pro (Mac or Windows).
QuickTime X (ten) is Mac only software that does include screen recording features.

QuickTime Pro for Windows playback issue

Hi,
I'm using QT Pro for Windows for time lapse. Most times during playback the video stops halfway (or thereabouts) and then after a few seconds, jumps to the end.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

HP HPE-110t, Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU 2.5GHz, 64bit, 6GB
Windows 7 Pro
These are a series of JPEG (5184 x 3465) taken with a Canon T31 and opened with the QT Pro "Open Image Sequence" stored on my C: drive
I get the same result no matter how many frames I load. The playback does not always stop halfway, seems random. I have also noticed that if I play it back multiple times (10-12) the playback does get smoother.
Thanks.

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?
Dell Inspiron 9300 Windows XP

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.

It would be helpful to know what version of Acrobat, WORD, and operating system.
Without that info, I would suggest at this point to open your WORD file and then go to the print menu and print to file using the Adobe PDF printer. Open the created file in Distiller and see if you get a PDF. If so, check to see if AcroTray is running in the background.
You say you tried many ways. It would help to know what you tried and what worked or did not work, and at what point the failure occurs.

I have a licensed copy of Adobe Acrobat X Pro for Windows. I recently switched over to MAC OS and would like to move my Adobe X Pro over but the CD will not work for Mac OS? Can anyone assist me with this conversion? Best, James.

you cannot use your pc license to install on a mac. you would need a separate license (and serial number) for that.
adobe allows platform swaps, but only with the latest (xi) version, Order product | Platform, language swap
your option to use acrobat on a mac are to upgrade to acrobat pro xi and change platforms, use a windows emulator (parallels/boot camp etc) on your mac or swap with a third party.
