Quicktime Codec for use on internet

Projects that I have exported as a quicktime files seem to be giving people trouble when downloading. They are exported in h.264. If i used h.263 or
h.261 for export are those codes usable by earlier versions of QT, and would people be able to view them in the case that there only problem is that they don't have QT 7.

As enzo mentions, MPEG-4 is a viable alternative. And will make your files QT 6 compatible.
Another, perhaps more popular, codec is Sorenson Video 3, which is compatible with QT 5(or later. (Though it's a bit dated now, KenStone.net has an awesome article about compressing for the web)
Understand that with each step backwards -- QT7 (h.264) -> QT6 (MPEG-4) -> QT5 (SV3) -- the compression algorithm gets more primitive, so maintaining the same quality is harder to do (at the same file size).

It depends. Is this for a personal web site or for a site like YouTube, Vimeo or Facebook?
For YouTube, Vimeo and Facebook, use Publish & Share/Computer/AVCHD using one of the YouTube presets.

FCP Quicktime Codec for Windows

I have an HD sequence that I exported using Export to Quicktime (movie is self contained); This gives me a .mov file that is uncompressed and has a smaller file size than any other way I export. I tried to play the file at my friends house on his PC but we couldn't. I'm assuming this export method uses a specific codec that my friend doesn't have. If this is the case, do you know if or where he could DL the specific codec. I googled it, but to no avail. If I'm completely off base with the whole codec thing could someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks

Happy to help out, but you need to identify what cam or sequence settings you use to create the HD sequence.
HD means so many things, including HDV and DVCProHD.
What is it?
And what did you choose to export to that create a smaller movie file for use on the PC?
Because it seems you have converted the original footage to something else, otherwise the size would be the same.
You might try an export to h.264 that should work if your friend is using v.7 of QT on Windows.

HDV Quicktime Codec for PC

Hi
I am in the middle of editing a project on FCP 5 and need to export part of it to a PC.
The footage is HDV 1080 50i and for speed I would prefer to keep it that way.
I'm having trouble finding the Quicktime codec to allow the footage to be palyed back on the PC, can anyone tell me where to find this???
Thanks
Ajay

I think you're talking about exporting to wmv. Flip4Mac Studio Pro HD is a good start. If you want better than that, check out Episode.

Quicktime codecs for reading XDCAM footage

Recently updated the software on my Mac Pro tower (circa 2008) and now Quicktime only plays audio of XDCAM footage, but not the video.
Quicktime plays regular mov, mp4 and mpeg videos just fine so I've isolated the probem to just XDCAM 1080 24p footage.
I think the codecs for reading XDCAM footage were lost or overwritten during the update, is there any way to reinstall or retrieve them?
If not what are the proper codecs for Quicktime to play XDCAM footage?

I also had a similar problem to most people here. Cannot playback XDCAM files after upgrading from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I called Apple who suggested a fresh install of Snow Leopard without upgrading the 'ProApps QuickTime Codecs 1.0.3' and copy the contents of the Library/QuickTime form the fresh install into my QT library. However, I decided to seek the file(s) that is the cause which is the AppleHDV.Component file. I copied the faulty one to my desktop (so I had a backup) and downloaed:
PerianXDCam.component.zip -> PerianXDCam.component
PerianHDV.component.zip -> PerianHDV.component
from this website: http://blog.lib.umn.edu/mcfa0086/discretecosine/164630.html
Once unzipped, copy into the Library/QuickTime folder and this should solve your problem, until Apple and Sony resolve this issue.
Good Luck,

Quicktime codecs for divx and other vids

Hi guys,
I have a large collection of videos on my pc and after switching to apple yesterday I realized that I couldn t see most of the vids.
I realise that there seems to be a problem with quicktime 7 ( i have the latest 7.0.3) but is there a codec pack somewhere?
I remember the nimo pack for pc so is there a similar thing for mac?
Thanks a lot!

Clement,
The Beta DivX CODEC for Mac Tiger and QT7 can be found in the DivX Labs website at http://labs.divx.com/?src=footerdivxlabs_from/divx/mac/index.php
I haven't had much luck with it.
If you just want to play the files on your Mac, try the free VLC media player at http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

What is the best video codec for use in Keynote?

I need to play some videos in a Keynote presentation. They can be 320x480 if necessary. Is there a recommended codec to use that minimizes playback stutter, dropped frames, bad audio sync and crashing the program?

David,
I also am having trouble with video in Keynote. I tried MPEG-4 and H.264 at 640 x 480 x 29.97fps (the "Web Download - LAN" setting in Compressor), but I always get pretty bad stuttering on playback. Is there any magic compression setting I'm missing here?
I'm playing it back on various machines with the same results - 1Ghz G4 iMac / 1.3 Ghz iBook / Dual 1.42 Ghz PowerMac. None of them have super beefy memory (512 - 768MB) but I'd think the stuttering issue would be with the processor not being able to keep up, no? Or is this task handed over to the video card?
The luck I've currently had as been with the Motion JPEG video codec. IIRC, it is supposed to be very light on the processor during playback so the overhead of Keynote doesn't seem to affect it as much. The trade off is the video files are huge.
Thoughts?

Quicktime codec does not work, internet explorer just shuts down!

I have reinstalled quicktime many times and still I cannot view any videos or movie previews on internet explorer that use the quicktime plugin. When I open the page that is supposed to use the plupin, a window pops up saying I should install the ActivX controller. When I press ok another popup comes up saying that internet explorer needs to shut don because of an error. So it just shuts down. I have tried to go through the support pages and I cant see anything that would seem to help so there is anyone who knows how to fix this problem, I would appreciate it.
Thanks.

It's been years since I use Internet Explorer (especially on a PC).
You must "enable" the ActiveX control in IE. (Probably a preference setting).
Have you tried using other Web browsers? Most are free.

Quicktime codec for fcp files?

is there a way to view newer fcp files with out purchasing fcp?
any iMovie plugins or quicktime or quicktime pro codecs available?
I have fcp 6.0.6 on an old G5 dual processor runing Tiger 10.4.11, but now have a new MacBook Pro but not newest fcp and some one just gave me a newer fcp project on a firewire drive to simply author a DVD which I find I am unable to accomplish.
Any free or inexpensive solutions?

Transfer your FCP license to the new machine and upgrade?
Apple will allow that, I've done it before, for Aperture.
The new MacBook Pro quads are like twice as fast as the Dual G5 processors anyway.

How do I specify quicktime plugin for use by mp3 files on ppc mac

In the Applications section of Firefox Preferences I find no way to specify that the Quicktime PLUG-IN is to be used for mp3 files. Although this action option is a provided for other kinds of files, that action option is missing for MP3 Audio file (audio/mp3) and for MP3 Audio File (audio/x-mp3).
I can specify that the Quicktime PLAYER should be used, but not the plug-in. How can I specify that I want the plug-in to be used?

You need to set in the QuickTime Preferences what files types you want that plugin to handle.

Converting codecs for use with multi-clip

Hi,
Not sure if I should post this here or in Compressor so please let me know!
I have recently completed a three camera shoot. Cam 1 and 2 were Sony pmw-EX1 cameras. Cam 3 was a Sony HD camera which used tape. The files I imported from Cam 1 and 2 are:
25fps
1410x1080
XDCam HD 1080p25
Pixel Ratio HD 1410x1080
Camera 3 is exactly the same except that the 'compressor' info is HDV 1080i50 instead of XDCam HD 1080p25.
Based on all of this, I cannot use Multiclip in FCP because the codecs don't match. So, I thought I would try and convert Camera 3 files using compressor. I found the XDCam compressor settings but it didn't work - the pixel aspect settings in that are still HDV 1080i50. I cannot seem to find a video codec which has the pixel aspect of cam 1 and cam 2. I assume this is relevant?
Do I need to customise my own settings in Compressor? Or is there another way to convert Cam 3 to the same codec as cam 1 and 2?
Hope all that makes sense....! Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks

Resizing Quicktime Movies for use in iWeb + published to .mac

Hey everyone,
I have some home movies I want to post on my .mac website but the files are just too big. The movies are already in Quicktime format from my camera. It just takes forever to upload and forever to download when you view the site.
How do I go about dropping the file size of my quicktime movies? Any suggestions should be helpful.
Thanks

Smart move to get QT Pro! It will now be possible to do this:
When exporting From iMovie or Final Cut, the expert settings choices can be daunting to understand. Here's a simple solution. Whenever you find a QT video online that has the download arrow (down facing arrow) at the far right of the play time line and you're impressed by the quality you see, once the movie has fully loaded, click on that arrow.
With QT Pro you'll see a drop down menu appear that offers 'Save as Source' or 'Save as QuickTime Movie'. Usually either choice gives you the same type of file. Save to your desktop . Then open and play. As the movie plays, go to the Quicktime menu at the top of your screen and choose from 'Window' ...Show Movie Info. Eureka! There are almost all the settings used to create that movie
To keep a photo record of this movies settings (if you don't keep the movie) line the player and the info window side to side and do a Apple key+Shift +4 targeted picture snap. Store the pic you just created in an iPhoto folder labeled 'QT Info Pics' as a later reference. In fact, Apple key+ Shift + 4 (targeted) or Apple key + Shift + 3 (Full Screen capture) used with 'Get Info' windows and iPhoto storage is a great quick & easy record keeping system.
Have fun!
Wayne
PS Been to Memphis, loved it. Irmla Thomas has a great CD called My Heart's In Memphis
PSS Once dragged to an iWeb page you can alter the physical size (reasonable amount) of your movie while file size stays the same.

Planning trip to europe where internet access may not be available. How to store pdf files on iPad for use when internet not available?

can content (ie: rail system map in Ireland) found on internet be saved on ipad and retrieved when internet not available?

I use iBooks to store and organize my PDFs. You can get iBooks free from the App Store.
If your are viewing a PDF in Safari you can tap the PDF and get the option to "Open in iBooks." once you open the PDF in iBooks you can create different collections and store related items together.
Besides getting PDFs from Fari you can receive them in emails. Tap to get the open in iBooks choice.
If the PDFs are on the computer you normally sync with you can copy them into the Book section of iTunes on your computer so that the next time you sync they will be copied to your iPad. Once on your iPad you can move them into Collections that you might have created.

Where do I install Avid Meridien codecs for use in Final Cut Pro X on Lion?

I'm using FCPX and imported a couple of files that were output with the Avid Meridien codec. When I try to use the files in FCPX, I can hear the audio, but I get no video. How do I get FCPX to see the codecs?

Yes, the files play in QT player with video. Can you provide a few more details on Compressor such as where to find and how to implement?
Thanks
