Quicktime movies with chapters

Has anyone found a way to get Front Row to recognise chapter markers in movies?
I've created movies where both Quicktime player and iTunes recognise the chapters, but Front Row can't skip ahead (although it will play the movie).
I'm in the process of ripping various DVDs onto my new Mini, and while I can deal with X Files episodes that don't have markers, I'm not sure how I should tackle concert DVDs. I don't want the whole show to be one file where I can't move around, and creating a file per chapter is useless too, since a) AFAIK I can't use video playlists and b) video files in folders are listed alphabetically, and only played one at a time.
Any ideas? If any Apple engineers are reading this, is it possible to add support for this in a (not too far off) future revision?
Thanks,
Johannes.

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
“Prepare for Internet Streaming”: Fast Start

Can I create a submenu in a movie with chapters?

I have a 1 hour instructional movie with 9 chapters. I want to add dozens of submenus. I know how to go back to FCE and make chapters, but how do I make dozens of sub menus from within idvd??
imac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hi Bob
Just to mention so You not get confused. (often asked question)
If You make a movie with chapters iDVD will give a menu:
- Play full movie + Chapters (on sub-menu)
But when You select say chapter 3 - it will play this and then continue
with Ch4 and to the end.
This is the way iDVD works !!! To just play a separate Chapter You either have
to usa another program like DVD-Studio pro (at a high cost).
or
a. import full movie (with no chapters
b. import each chapter as an individual movie and put them on a sub-menu
And this is the only solutions.

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.

QT Movie with Chapters manually added does not import into iDVD 7

I have read several threads regarding the use of Chapters in iMovie and iDVD version 7. Since I do not own any of the pro applications I decided to create a test QT Movie with manually added chapters as described in the QT Pro Manual. I was able to create the chapters and save the movie. However, when I dropped the movie into iDVD 7 no chapters were created. I checked the iDVD Prefs and the "create chapters" option is turned on. I have read that people have been able to drop movies with chapters using one of the pro applications, but I have also read that iDVD does not always correctly encode the chapters.
Has anyone had success adding QT Movies with manually created Chapters into iDVD7?

For what it's worth, I tried manually adding chapter markers to my movies in QT Pro using those same instructions - didn't work for me (iDVD didn't recognize the chapters).
I found another application called Metadata Hootenanny (free) that easily adds chapter markers. When I did that, iDVD recognized them and automatically added a chapters sub-menu when I imported the movie. This was all in iDVD '06.
I've tried this quickly in iDVD version 7 (imported the same chapter-embedded QT movie as above) and it did the same thing (automatically added chapters sub-menu). Hope this helps.
Regards,
Bill

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.

Problem exporting Quicktime Mov with Premiere / Media Encoder

I have a MOV-file which has been exported from Final Cut. I imported and edited it in Premiere CS 5.5 and then tried to export again to Quicktime Mov. Problem is that the output looks terrible. There is some kind of "Motion bluriness" or fuzziness in the video and looks like there is a maybe "frame rate problem".
Does anyone know what the problem is? I use "real" Quicktime from Apple website.

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..

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

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!

Exporting Custom Resolution Quicktime Movie with Custom Pixel Aspect Ratio

I want to export some 16x9 sequences (and others) at different resolutions with different pixel aspect ratios.
I have tried exporting as a Quicktime movie, but I get a codec error (with my required H.264 & AAC audio).
I have tried exporting using Quicktime conversion, but there is nowhere to enter a custom pixel aspect ratio (if they added that as an option in “preserve aspect ratio”, that would be nice).
I have tried exporting using Compressor, but it doesn't seem to accept my setting of pixel aspect ratio (HDV 1080i 16:9)—at least when I play back the video it is not using wide pixels.
Thanks for any suggestions.
G5

I would like to have arbitrary control of the pixel frame size on export as well as arbitrary control of the pixel aspect ratio. However, in this case I specificially want to export some video in a 4:3 pixel arrangement (such as 360x270) but have its display be 16:9 via non-square (i.e. 4:3) pixel aspect ratio.
In that sense, yes, I want to have something play back at 16:9, but at least some of my attempts to export video are squished at 4:3.
While it may be possible to adjust the display in the Quicktime Player, the AVC video syntax as specified by ISO and MPEG standards bodies allow the specification of the pixel aspect ratio (actually sample aspect ratio in the standard) within the bitstream, and when it is there, the latest versions of Quicktime will (from my experience) render the video with the correct aspect ratio.

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.

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.

How to export movie with chapters?

I'm finished my editing, and I added chapters to my project in Final cut Pro X, how do I export my movie with the chapters included.

Wow I didn't even know there was an Updated version, I am using 10.0.5.
I also realize while I was watching a Youtube video, in the export box, the person export box looked different to mine, he had After export and Includes drop down arrows, and I have Video Codec, Audio file format, and Open with drop down arrow
is this a update I have to pay for? how can I update it?
