Quicktime movie from mac to pc, HOW?

Anyone know the best way to get a high quality, high resolution Quicktime .mov file (created on a macbook pro with Keynote and iMovie HD; h.264 codec) to play from a dvd on as many PC computers as possible?
I would like to do this without requiring the end PC user to download Quicktime if they don't have it on their computer, if possible, but the quality has to remain quite high, and wmv or mpeg files just don't hold up.
I've already looked into numerous different export settings for each of the above programs, and have tried to figure out how to use with a trial of Sorenson's Squeeze to try to convert, but I just can't seem to figure it out.

First off you can just make a CD of the data and let the PC users play the file back with Quicktime. Otherwise use Toast and make a VCD which is MPEG-1 on CD vs. DVD and really weak in the qaulity department but popular in Asia and for Karaoke disks.
You can point out the the CD only crowd that a DVD burner costs less than a CD player used to cost.

  • How do you view quicktime movies from MAC to TV?

    I'd like to view quicktime movies from my MacBook Pro to HDTV. What do I need to do?

    Not every retailer carries mini-DP to HDMI adaptors, so you might want to call ahead. If you find one, make sure that it carries audio - some won't. You can certainly find them online. Apple normally stocks a Moshi version which supports audio, but they're back-ordered at the moment. If you have trouble finding them locally, try newegg.com.
    Edit: meant to add, a newer option is to get an AppleTV v3 connected to your TV, connect it to your wireless network, and mirror your Macbook Pro to the AppleTV using Airplay Mirroring. May even not be much more expensive than the adaptor+cable option. Details here:

  • How can I export a graphic slide with a quicktime movie from Keynote?

    I export a title slide with a quicktime movie from Keynote to my desktop and it plays fine with audio. Once I insert or drag the clip into iWeb the resolution is degraded and very choppy. The resolution is 320x200 and I'm exporting from Keynote as a custom size (320x200) Frame rate: 29.97 Key Frames: Automatic Key Reordering is checked Data Rate: Automatic Quality: Multi pass. I need some help.

    how large is the video and if you publish - does it still have the same horrible quality?
    you might considering exporting as flash (loads faster) and integrating that into your iweb site using post-editing: http://karreth.com/index.php/articles/iframes-iweb/

    Thanks for that, it was really helpful.
    Glad to hear that worked for you. While formatting an external drive with a Mac format is best if it will be used only with a Mac, if the files on the drive have to be accessible to a PC also, it's possible to format it in an exFAT format, which both the Mac and a PC can read from and write to. However, if you do that, do the actual formatting while the external is connected to the PC.

  • Removed Movie from .Mac Web Gallery But Broken Link Remains?

    I published a movie to my Web Gallery successfully. I then tried to republish but got two movies in the Gallery. One movie worked and the other was a broken link. I removed the movie from .Mac using Share>Remove From .Mac, and the working movie was removed. But I am still left with a broken link in the Movies section of my Web Gallery. How can I remove this broken link?
    I checked my iDisk and found \Web\Sites\_gallery, but I can't find the index file for the gallery (only folders for the albums).
    Thanks, Will

    I'm having the same problem (broken links after a republish) -- and a few others:
    1) After about the first time, I have been unable to remove a movie from the gallery. I just get a connection error. I'm able to add movies (somehow the connection magically works) but removing fails most of the time.
    2) When adding a movie, for some reason, the title of the movie ends up replacing the "My Gallery" title for my entire web gallery. On the web gallery home page (over my photo albums and videos) it shows the title of the first video.

  • Quicktime moves from FCP

    Ok - I'm officially out of my depth.
    After 6 months editing a lorryload of 4x3 miniDV interviews I finally got sign-off this morning.
    Client wants a quick DVD to watch over Chritmas, so I Export Quicktime movies (normal, no conversion) of all 10 timelines, simply adding .mov on the end.
    I make a 4x3 DVD project in iDVD, and drop in the QT moves.
    All fine and dandy, but one, just ONE of these movies insists in playing all squeezed out in 16x9.
    The odd thing is that this is the second time I've done this. Last week I went through the same process, and the same clip was playing out in 16x9.
    These are all new clips (I've changed the edit since then), and it's a brand new iDVD project.
    But same result.
    I've checked the rogue clip in QT and iTunes, and it plays just the same as all the others.
    So I tried MPEGStreamclip - and noticed some full screen red rogue frames, which suggested a problem.
    I checked the other clips - they all have the red rogue frames - even though they behave normally in iDVD.
    What might be causing this?
    I'm tried re-Exporting all the clips as 100% Quicktime movies from Streamclip.
    The files were all much bigger then the originals. How can that be happening?
    But when I reload them in Streamclip they still have the red flashes.
    I've tried doing a SaveAs from Quicktime - still red flashes.
    Even MPE4 versions - red flashes - and these show up in iDVD too.
    Any advice gratefully received. I'm running out of time here
    Thanks
    Tom

    I forget to mention that I made the original movies on a MacBook Pro running Tiger and QT 7.6.4, but was trying to make the iDVD on a new machine running Snow Leopard and QT10 - because it has a much faster burner and I'm in a hurry!
    I'm now trying to make the iDVD on the older machine and there is no sign of the red flashes - plus that rogue movies plays normally.
    Phew... BUT
    Someone else is making the real, proper DVD - what will happen when he tried to pick up these quicktime movies on and AVID (pre version 5)?
    Thanks

    Google it. There are many from the top level 'Roxio Toast' down to free burning apps such as 'Burn'. Depends on how much you wish to spend and the quality and presentation of the DVDs you wish to make.

  • No more alpha in exported QuickTime movie from Keynote '09

    Hello
    In Keynote '08, I create a slide with no background (None).
    I add some text with some fancy text IN and OUT features.
    I export using the Animation codec and the transparency option.
    When I reimport the movie in another Keynote '08 file, it inherits the transparency of the imported file and thus everything is perfectly blended.
    In Keynote '09 it is not possible anymore.
    Even if I import an exported QuickTime movie from Motion with a transparent background, it is not possible to have a perfect blend, all layers are opaque.
    Last but not the least, adding transparent files on top of each other in QuickTime player does not preserve transparency despite the fact that the Animation + transparency features are added in the files.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hey Gary - first off, thanks for your reply! I am currently forcing spotlight to re-index to see if that might help me out. After that I will try your suggestion and run a system software check.
    I need a ProRes export as this is going to be combined with IMAG footage from a live presentation as well as additional video from an Arri Alexa. I want to preserve as much quality as possible so that there isn't a discrepancy in the final edit. Originally, I was rendering a small test to the desktop to gauge output quality of animations etc. I did go ahead and re-export a second time to an external drive, but it doesn't seem to matter as Keynote appears to initially render everything to the startup drive no matter what. The second export still ate about 15 gigs from my startup disk and I am unable to find any sort of temp files anywhere!
    I am showing all files in Finder and searching around the ~/private/tmp folders to no avail. In the image below there appears to be a discrepancy in the size being reported by finder and the size I'm seeing listed in terminal...

  • HT5330 If I move from Mac/Mobile Me email to iCloud, will my current account's email vanish?

    Probably a silly question. I am running Snow Leopard and for a couple of days have not been able to send mail from my long-time Apple email account.  I have started the move from Mac/Mobile Me email to iCloud, when all I really need is to enable the iCloud SMTP server, I think.   
    When  I was a few steps into the move, I reached the point where I had to either "continue" with my current email address/password, or create a new email account   If I follow Apple's direction and "add" an account with my core user info, will I end up with "my" account as iCloud, but with my current account's email "vanished?" 
    I go back far enough that my Apple user name is not an email address, and my email address is dot.Mac, and I'd like to keep it that way, but right now I just want to be able to "send."  Since my problem began I have been writing and then saving emails on my iMac, then opening them on my iPad or iPhone and sending the emails from those devices.  Thank heaven for IMAP!!!!
    Thanks,
    Laura

    [email protected] [email protected] and [email protected] are all the same thing: emails to all three go to the same inbox. You must presumably have gone through the migration process from MobileMe to iCloud before 1 August last, or you would have lost access to the account. However if you didn't set up Mail for the different iCloud server settings I wouldn't have expected to go on working this long.
    In any case, I would suggest you delete the account from Mail (this won't delete anything on the server) and set it up again from scratch following the process described in this illustrated article:
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard

  • Can I move MPEG movie from Mac to my iPad?

    Can I move a protected MPEG movie from Mac to my iPad?

    Protected with what and in what way?
    As long as you can drop the mpeg into iTunes you should be able to sync it from iTunes to your iPad with the supplied cable in the usual way you'd sync anything else from iTunes to your iPad.

  • Viewing quicktime movies from iphoto 08

    I just upgrade to Snow Leopard, I use to be able to view quicktime movies from Iphotos in Leopard, now if i click on the movie nothing happens, From Quicktime doesnt seem to want to open my library where the movies are located. These are small video max 30 secs from my digital camera?

    If I upgrade to iphoto 09 will this problem go away?
    No. Not if you don't install Quicktime 7 Player from the Snow Leopard install disk. You can do a custom install and select the Quicktime 7 Player as the only item to install. That should fix the issue.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.
