Quicktime movie with 3 audio tracks. Can't select audio track!

I have a movie containing 3 audio tracks (3 different languages):
Format: H.264, 720x304, 16,7 Mio
AAC, Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
AAC, Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
AAC, Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
When I play this movie with Apple Quicktime I hear a mix of all 3 languages at the same time. How can I select each audio track separately. With VLC player (freeware) it works fine.
Is the selection of the audio tracks a feature of Quicktime Pro or is this a bug in Quicktime?!

Hello lildog, hello QuickTimeKirk,
Thank you for your answer. In the meantime I solved this problem. It is caused by the program ”MP4Box” which I used to create the video with the 3 audio tracks. Apple Quicktime and iTunes needs ”very special” header settings inside the mp4 container. A new version of MP4Box with special switches for this case solves the problem. For more details see this thread on the gpac/MP4Box project homepage: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?threadid=2345177&forumid=287547
The VLC Player is much more docile with multiple audio tracks.

Creating a QuickTime movie with the new Canon T5i camera in iMovie 9.0.9.

Help needed creating a QuickTime movie with the new Canon T5i camera in iMovie 9.0.9. The project is done and looks good...I need help understanding what settings need to be set so I can make a QuickTime movie in the highest quality that would fit the ratio of 16.9 to be sent out to my YouTube page. I played around with some of the settings and have not come with the right setting for the video. I want the highest quality with the lowest amount of megabytes…thanks

I would suggest using SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE and choose 1920x1080 (if your source material supports this).
That should work well in YouTube.
If you want to go further with custom QuickTime settings, here are some that should work, but in my experience, it will be no better than using SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE.
follow the instructions below to create a .mov video that will work on YouTube:
In iMovie, select Share > Export Using QuickTime
Next, you may want to check your Options to verify that the following settings are correct:Video settings
Compression Type: H.264
Frame Rate: 30 is preferred. 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97 are also acceptable.
Data Rate: Automatic
Key Frames: Automatic
Frame Reordering: Unchecked
Audio/Sound settings
Format: AAC
Click Show advanced settings and choose Constant Bit Rate as encoding strategy
Other settings
Size: Choose the original size of the video

ITunes 11 has converted some songs to Quicktime movie format. How can I convert them back to MPEGs? format

iTunes 11 has converted some songs to Quicktime movie format. How can I convert them back to MPEGs?

I didn't mess with the iTunes Media folder previously, so I don't think that was the cause. Anyway, I manually fixed most of the songs, but I still can't figure out how to fix the movies that became listed as songs.
Here is a screenshot of what it looks like when I click on "Get Info" for one of the movies (which has ended up in the music section on iTunes):
There is no option to change the media kind to "movie" or "video" even though it is a movie and it still plays as a movie if I press play.

Quicktime movies with both pics and videos don't upload correctly to YouTub

I have a Quicktime movie with pictures, video clips and music. The quicktime movie plays fine in Quicktime, but only the video parts upload to YouTube. How do I fix this? I have tried converting from mov to flv before uploading and same problem.
I have uploaded Quicktime movies successfully with just pics and music and it has worked.

I'm hopeful this explanation will fix this same problem I've been banging my head on for several days now as I thought I would get fancy and add some graphics from .jpgs but stretch them into video segments by properly adding them to the working video in QTPro on Windows. Both Youtube and Yahoo Video removed my graphics (tracks) so hopefully flattening will solve it however I am concerned about quality.
Before the graphic .jpg adds I was doing the following:
1. My vids strart off as MP4's from various clips taken from nother device. I load them into QT Pro in segments and then end up saving so they go to the .MOV format.
2. I upload to Youtube and all is good.
Now with the flattening of .MOV back to MP4's how much quality will I lose? Should I really add the graphics as part of step one and then the one time save to a default .mov cause me one generation less of video quality loss?
Tks for the help.

Load Quicktime movie with AS3

I'm trying to use Actionscript 3 to load an external video
file into my Flash project. The file is a .mov file & I can't
really change that to any other format like.flv. I tried the
following code, but I get an error saying it's an unknown format.
var thisRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("video/" +
fileName);
var thisLoader:Loader = new Loader();
thisLoader.load(thisRequest);
addChild(thisLoader);

Correct, flash cannot play quicktime "MOV" files.
Flash can play MP4 and M4V/M4A files (which are also
typically considered Quicktime movies) as well as FLV files.
If you need to do this project with Flash, then you may want
to talk to those who do have access to change the video format, to
change it to use at least MP4 files. Also, you do have an FLV
encoder that came with Flash that you can use (not to mention
numerous other encoders for free download that work as well,
arguably better than the default Adobe one) and thus you, yourself
could change the files over for your use (though it would be a
waste of server space to store the files twice)
Just a thought

What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system?     Elements 13 on Windows 7
What is the brand/model/settings of the camera that recorded these videos?        ony PMW 320
When you import them into your Premiere Elements project, what does Premiere Elements Properties for that import give for
the audio description in the way of number of channels? If you open the Audio Meter (Window Menu/Audio Meters) and you play back
the video in the Premiere Elements Editor, how many channels does the Audio Meter display?
I just drag and drop video and when playing back only channel 1 will appear
What is your intended export for this video in terms of audio as well as video compression and formats?    MP4
I think you can only use audio if it's recorded on channel 1 or it does not recognize it.
Thanks for the help if possible,Kevin416 873 8374

Go to the Map mode in your iDVD project and make sure the blue bin at the left is empty. That's where you drag slideshows to if you want the DVD to open immediately to that slideshow and bypass the menu.

Exporting Quicktime .mov with audio

I searched for a solution to my problem for a while and haven't found any so I felt I'd finally ask.
I am exporting a movie in Premiere Pro 2.0 as a .mov. Yet everytime I export the audio quality is awful. The audio plays fine within premiere, and the video exports perfectly. I've tried uncompressed audio, and the result is a loud static sound. I've tried multiple compressors (oblivious to which I should be using) none of which offered good results (sometimes it was even silent). What settings should I be using? (By the way, the audio in the scene is .mp3 and .wav, but I felt using the uncompressed setting would be find since I wouldn't be recompressing the audio)
I'm sure this is a very basic issue that has been addressed multiple times, but I couldn't find a thread or resource on the internet that helped with this issue I'm having. Thank you for any help you can offer, I appreciate it.

I use the same settings, as you, with one exception - instead of 8-bit, choose 16-bit for the Sample Depth.
I also dislike using MP3 as a source. With the exception of tiny SFX files, I always convert these to PCM/WAV (Uncompressed) 48KHz 16-bit, before Import. That does NOT restore all the data lost with the MP3 compression (I hate the sound with MP3, but that's a different topic), but it gives me the best source to edit. I use Adobe Audition, but the free Audacity does a great job of this.
Hope that the 16-bit does the trick for you.
Good luck,
Hunt
BTW - what are you using to play the resulting MOV?

Exporting Keynote to Quicktime movie with audio

I am struggling to get this to work although I have done so previously. I have a fully functioning keynote with an embedded quicktime movie and an audio file. The Keynote works fine.
When I try to export it I just get the audio file!! I am opting for 'manual' even thought the Keynote is a looped production without the need for any manual input.
Any ideas? thanks

Exporting to Quicktime with sound seems to have been restored ok in Keynote 09 as I have just tested it on the trial download copy. Up until then I have been importing into Garage Band without sound and adding it there which is successful but I think the quality of picture is better with only one step i.e within Keynote itself.

I can't select "audio output stereo" on a track in the arrange window

When I create a new song, in the Arrange window I can
choose "audio output stereo" for a given track, and
access the mixer's output from there. Fab.
When I open a song that I oringally created using Logic 5,
"audio output stereo" does not appear.
Is this something about the file format?
(a) is there something simple to do to enable that for
older songs, or (b) is there a way to convert older song files to LE7?
thanks,
fred, san rafael.
[email protected]

Sorry, je suis un idiot.
FYI. I went into the Environment window and found "Output 1-2"
to be un-checked. Checking it now makes "audio output stero" an available option in that song.
Thanks for listening.

Can I export Quicktime movies with the same quality/compression as DVD

I would like to export iMovie HD 6 projects as quicktime movies of about the same size, compresson level and quality as I get with iDVD. I would like to watch them on my macbook, but don't want the dvd interface. My attempts have tended to produce something close to full quality that requires too much disk space (10 to 12 G per hour) or tiny, overly compressed videos that only an ipod could love. Does anyone know how to set the custom settings to get this?

if your projects are Standard (=not HiDef), the iPhone preset in the export options work good for my standards..
or..
Export with Quicktime/Options... h264, original res of your project.. ='small' and good looking..

Export QuickTime movie with Compressor running in background

I've rummaged through the forums many times to figure out the absolute fastest way to get an FCP sequence compressed for DVD Studio Pro while maintaining the best quality. I always seem to come up with:
Export QuickTime Movie (not self contained) --> Compressor (DVD best quality settings)
This seems to work fine. I am currently exporting sequences in HDV 1080i60 and they take an extremely long time to export into QT movies. Because of that, I am editing a sequence, waiting for it to export, then dropping it into Compressor. At this point, FCP is available for editing again while Compressor is working, so I repeat the process. However, when I export to QT from FCP while Compressor is still running in the background it seems to take much longer to export.
Here is my question:
*Am I doing anything wrong by allowing Compressor to work while I am trying to export QT movies from FCP to the same drive?*
Is FCP actually taking longer to export, or is that my imagination? Would it be faster if I only did one at a time, or should it take the same amount of time either way? Am I putting the data on my final movies at risk by doing these things at the same time?
Any help would be appreciated as this is a time sensitive project. I am working in both FCP 5 and 6 on two different computers. 2.5 GHz Core 2 Duo, 4 GB.

Compressor takes a lot of system resources. It will slow the computer down in other tasks.
Because Compressor can run unattended, why not take advantage of that?
Do your regular work that needs you to be there and run the Compressor Batch overnight or at other times when the system is idle.
Compressor's default destination for its processed files is the same directory as the original -writing the files to a different drive might help, at least that way your media drive is not reading and writing at the same time.

Quicktime movies with soundtrack

When I save my Keynote presentation with a soundtrack as a Quicktime movie and then use the movie in IDVD the audio doesn't work. Also when you open the movie in Quicktime player and the movie is paused, the music continues to play.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve these problems?
Thanks,
Rachel

Its me...answering my own question, after hours of work I have solved the problem....
When I put the QT movie (saved from Keynote) into IDVD it would preview alright but after burning it on to a DVD the audio was no longer there. Naturally, I suspected the separate sountrack.mov file as the cause of this problem.
The only way I could get it to work was pretty convoluted but nevertheless, worked in the end. This is what I did. I completed my presentation in Keynote. I exported it as a QTmovie with no soundtrack at all. I then opened the QTmovie in Quicktime Pro (you have to have QT Pro) and then "added" the audio file and resaved the QT movie. The instructions for adding audio are pretty clear in the "help" section for QT Pro. Then once I brought the movie into IDVD and burned the DVD it worked perfectly!

Can Garageband NOT select all regions on a track when I select the track???

I'm recording audio on 2 tracks. When I switch from one track to the other, it doesn't look like anything's selected because all the other regions are off the screen to the right. If I record a quick region and then delete it, EVERYTHING ON THAT TRACK GETS DELETED because it's automatically selected.
So ... where is the setting in Garageband that lets you select a track without selecting all the regions on it?

When you select a track, it automatically selects all of the regions in the track, which I think is silly.
Only, you cannot avoid it. It is built in. So deselect the regions afterwards by clicking some empty space in the track.
Write feedback to Apple with a feature request, that you want it changed:
