Quicktime Pro 7.1.1 won't export mp4 or other formats

After updating from 7.1.0
iMac 15" Flat Panel
osx 10.4.6
I tried opening and closing Garageband and iMovie. Any ideas?

I finally used ffmpeg encoder to convert the original .AVI file to another .avi file and then QT Pro worked to convert that to .mp4. So I guess it was the file (but I had used QT Pro to convert to iPod video with no problem, wierd).
Anyway, thanks for your help.

New Quicktime 7.6.6 (1671) won't export WAV files

HELP! - New Quicktime 7.6.6 (1671) won't export WAV files. I just did the automatic upgrade to the new version of Quicktime and now I can't export WAV files from a CAF file. The original .CAF file plays perfectly but when I attempt to export it the exported file is corrupted and won't play. I have another computer with the previous version of Quicktime and it exports the same file flawlessly. Anyone know what's going on with the new version? THANKS!

+Error writing to the file: C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesMiniPlayer.Resources\nb.lproj\iTunesMiniPlayerLocalized.dll. Verify that you have access to that directory.+
More often than not, that sort of message indicates file damage rather than a privileges issue on the file.
If you've got Windows XP, try doing a chkdsk over your C drive, as per:
How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
If you've got Vista, try the following procedure. Go "Start > Computer". Right-click on "Local Disk C:" and select "properties". Click the "Tools" tab. Click the "Check now" button in the "Error correction" section.
Do the disk checks find/repair any damage? If so, does an install go through properly afterwards?

Quicktime pro, is there a way to export multiple movies as a batch?

Quicktime pro, is there a way to export multiple movies as a batch? Every time I export more than one at a time they try to export at the simultaineously and their progression slows tremendously. Is there a way to automate the export process so they go 1 by 1? I am embedding watermarks in .mov files of different sizes so while thier export settings are identical there is some discrepency in the format/size of the movies and the placement and size of the watermark "track".

Unfortunatley no. You must export the forms one at a time.

Quicktime Pro crashes when I attempt to export

Hello,
I'm using Quicktime Pro version 7.6.6 and I've recently been experiencing this problem when I attempt to export a file from the application.
I'll click 'export' from the file menu, and quickly after the application crashes and displays the following message:
'Quicktime Player 7 quit unexpectedly while using the FLV plugin'
I've removed the 'perian' plugin which I thought it might be refering to, but it still crashes and gives me this meesage each time.
Any ideas how I might resolve this problem?

Download VLC Media Player & Perian to play your .avi files inconjunction w/QT.

Quicktime 7.5 for windows won't recognize mp4 format

I am trying to play an mp4 video on my PC with Windows XP. I'm trying to use quicktime 7.5, but when I try and open the file I get the following error:
"Error -2048: Couldn't open the file MYGREATDVD.mp4 because it is not a file that Quicktime understands"
Does anybody have any idea why this is the case? I can play other formats of videos in Quicktime.

Regarding: 2048-Quicktime cannot play this file because it is not a file Quicktime understands.
FYI -I am using Quicktime PRO
I got this same message over and over when I used my free digital copy of Die Hard 4.
Solution I found: With recent Quicktime update, Quicktime seems to put a CAP on the size of the file it recognize and open.
To get the Digital Copy to work in Quicktime I compressed the File down from 5200 mbs (5.2 gigs) to 1700 mbs (1.7gbs)
Quicktime was then able to play the file and in additional I was able to import this file to itunes.
The unfortunate thing here is that the overall Quality of the file in itunes is now inferior to the quality of the file using Windows Media Player.
What I also found odd was that when I adjusted the file in itunes to play on Apple TV (convert for Apple TV) it increased the file size to 3.2 Gigs and the file plays fine. Althoug once again the quaility isnt as good as in Windows Media Player.
In my opinion this seems to be this is an issue with the Quicktime update. I tried other files out of curiosity and the same thing happened over and over. Quicktime gave me the 2048-Quicktime cannot play this file because it is not a file Quicktime understands: if the file was too large. Compressing the file allowed it to play.
*So My related question is: What is the Maximum File Size that Quicktime will recognize and play?* and *if it its not an error that will be fixed - Why would Apple put a CAP like this in place that directly results in inferior playback quality of a Movie*
Hopefully this will get resolved ...

Quicktime 7 Pro: Demuxed MPEG-2 Won't Export Audio With Video

Hi,I'm trying to create .MP4 files from my camera's multiplexed MPEG-2 files. I have used MPEG Streamclip to split audio/video and save the resulting files in .MOV format. Then, after editing in QT 7 Pro, I want to export the separate audio and video in a single MP4, but have been unable - I can export either audio or video, but not both. The export options allow only selection of audio or video.
It seems like this should be a really simple issue, but I can't figure it out...

There is not a version "just" for Intel. There is one for QT6.3 and earlier and one for 6.4 and later and the latter one includes Intel macs. E.g. it also works on PPC macs with QT 6.4 or later.
I have that one on an Intel mac, didn't upgrade a thing from the files and programs transfer from a Powerbook G4 and it works fine.

My Poster Frame I set in QuickTime Pro doesn't stay set after export.

I drag my fcp cut into QT Pro. I set the Poster Frame. I choose 'Go to poster frame' to make sure it's set. Then I export it for ipod and open it in itunes and the poster frame is wrong. This has happened twice. Any ideas? Thanks.

Any "Edit" or "Export" will remove many of the features found in the source file.
Things like "Fast Start" (web based files) will be broken if a regular "Save" is used. To preserve them use "Save As".

Premiere Pro 5.5 Sequences Won't Export

I haven't changed any settings, yet suddenly I can't export any sequences.
I go File -> Export -> Media, hit the Queue button, it goes to the status bar that says it's exporting media, and then it just sits there.
Since I haven't changed any settings, I don't have a clue what to do to resolve this issue.
Does anyone have any thoughts on a solution? Or at least a reason why it's not working anymore.

Hi, I'm having pretty much the same problem but after trying several of these solutions i'm still stuck,
I'm not sure how to delete preferences, turn of GPU acceleration, I'm a little afraid to delete preview files incase i'm deleting files i've rendered already?
I've completed a 30 minute film using 3 different types of digital cameras.
When i try to export it my system crashes and i have to open it again.
the project file is 35GB and i have over 100GB space on my external usb hard drive, so i know there is enough space, i also deleted temp files and unused files too.
I contacted an experienced film maker and took my hard drive to him so he could export it on his system and that also crashed, but he was able to export the entire video of the sequence but unticking the export audio, so i have a 30 minute film with no sound and i've put it down to an audio issue.
I had the same problem when trying to export the film when it was just 20 minutes long, i then cleared the media cache and deleted a lot of unwanted files etc, and then i was able to export the film. now it's 10 minutes longer and the issue seems impossible to solve.
the only solution i can think of is to delete the last 10 minutes of audio (which isn't really an option) or somehow record the audio into a seperate file and import it into the project
I'm not entirely sure of the exact details you would need from me but if there is any please ask

AE CS6 won't export MP4. "Some of the required components could not be found."

After Effects CS6 (from Production Premium) running on 64-bit Windows 7 Enterprise SP1.
Processor: Intel Core i7-3930K CPU @ 3.20GHz
AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series video card
64 Gb Corsair Ram (DDR3)
Quicktime 7.7.4 Installed
Currently attempting to export a short (2 second) video based on the predefined "H.264" preset with the only alterations being that I want the VBR 1 Pass to target 3.5Mbs (though I've changed this with no difference in outcome) and I want the video to multiplex as MP4. I immediatley get the error prompt: "Some of the required components could not be found."
*Just tried using the 3GPP multiplexer and received the same error message. If I try to use the MPEG4 format I get an "unknown exception" error.*
I've exported literally hundreds of items as H.264 with a MP4 multiplexer on this machine with current hardware and software. And now...no dice. After Effects boots correctly (or at least it seems that way) though I think it takes a little longer than it used to (not sure if the system cache just needs to be rebuilt).
After Effects CS6 has all available Adobe updates. Quicktime 7.7.4 is also up-to-date. Video Card driver is up-to-date.
What could be going on? I'd prefer to skip re-installing this program. I've had to do this numerous times already with this suite throughout the past 12 months; really getting sick of the down-time during reinstall. Worth noting that I have closed the program, closed all programs, restarted computer multiple times.
I am currently going through my Adobe program files for After Effects. I am specifically looking through the 'Support Files' directory. A couple interesting things: 1. My 'MediaIO->Codecs' directory was last updated on 11/8/2013 (perhaps an AE update??) but each of the files within said directory have a last modified date of late September. Did something get wrongfully deleted in the hypothetical update? 2. In 'Media Core plugins->Common' I again have a last modified date of 11/8/2013, but again each of my files within the common directory were last modified late September. I have many expected .prm files but NO ImporterMPEG4.prm; should I have a MPEG4 specific importer file, or does the MPEG importer file do all of the work. Also, I have no ExporterMP4 (or anything of the MPEG, MPEG2, MPEG4 flavor). Should I have one of these?
Don't know if this last paragraph helps at all but my fingers are crossed.

Thanks Katrina for all your help.
I talked to an Apple tech support person. Actually, my call had to be elevated to the next support level. Joy. You are correct, there are multiple listings of the files in the error report even though there is only one copy.
The support person had me do a few things. Here is what eventually seems to fix things:
1) For the mp3's that DID copy but were listed as not found... Some files were duplicated so deleting the duplicate with the "!" was an easy fix. I found one file that I could search by song name in iTunes but could not find it by song name search on the iPod. Looking at the iPod playlist I found the file listed by the filename (not song name) and the file played fine. Then in iTunes I double clicked on the song name ("!" showing) and selected locate. I then pointed to the location on the NAS. Resync and now the name of the song on the iPod changed from filename to song name. The file was no longer listed in the error report.
2) For the m4a files that didn't sync... the problem songs appeared three times in a search in iTunes. Two of the listings showed the "!" next to the name. I deleted these two for each song that didn't sync and all transferred fine afterward.
Perhaps there is an issue with ID3 tags since I use filenames more than tags in organization. Still, I would think that iTunes would not get so confused or be a little more friendly with its errors, especially considering how long its been around.
Thanks again for your help. Looks like I have a manual way to correct this issue.

Can I use QuickTime Pro to convert my dvds into an ipod video ready format

I've just got an ipod video and being in the UK I'm unable to buy movies from iTunes and wanted to add some of my own dvd collection to my ipod - can I do this with QT pro???
Thanks

No.
QuickTime can't open MPEG-2 (DVD format) without third party software help and can't extract audio from muxed file formats.
Search the iPod Discussions pages. Dozens of software solutions have been posted there.

Export in QuickTime Pro

Hi,
I'm new to QuickTime, but I was interested because of the Export-Function of the Pro version (It says you can export in 20 different formats or so)!
But when I use it, nothings happens. I was reading informations about it, I saved the videos (Quicktime videos) as flattened versions and tried again. But nothing happens, just nothing, no pop-up window for saving etc...
Someone has some knowledge about this issue.
It is strange to me.
Thanks for any help

Download this guide to QT 7 and read the sections on
Export using custom settings:
http://images.apple.com/quicktime/pdf/QuickTime7User
Guide.pdf
Alsa, this spec sheet shows the various file formats
and compression methods you can use with QT Pro:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/pro/specs.html
Thanks for the answer. But i was aware of these instructions and tutorials.
But what to do if it doesn't work?
I reinstalled the player, and the key. It has been accepted and the functions are available. But clicking on Export, there is NO Pop Up window coming up. So what to do?
Is something blocking the Pop-up? Strange.
I wrote also to the Apple-shop who gave me the key.
So waiting for a solution.
And if you have more ideas, please let me know

Export as MPEG2 Option In Quicktime Pro 7.1.2

In older versions of quicktime pro there was an option to 'export -> movie to mpeg2'.
I'm on an intel core duo imac, mac os 10.4.7, quicktime 7.1.2, with Final Cut Studio 5 and the latest updates installed.
I am under the impression that the necessary quicktime mpeg 2 encoder is part of the dvd studio pro 4 install.
What am I doing wrong? I'd like to have the mpeg2 export right out of quicktime pro...am I asking too much? Does Apple just want me to run Compressor for all of my mpeg2 needs?
My 'Library -> Quicktime' does not have any "mpeg2" compenents listed...which I would have assumed would be installed with the DVD studio pro install. I try to re-install just dvdsp, but nothing.
Thanks in advance!

Grant:
It's no longer included in the Studio and as far as I know, there is no way to get it as standalone.

Why won't QuickTime Pro 7.0.4 open my MIDI files?

Have QT Pro 7.0.4, OS 10.4.6, Safari 2.0.3 on eMac computer. Downloaded MIDI from Classical Music Archives but file won't open. When try to open it, get message on eMac screen "QT cannot open the file tmcpsolf.mid It is not a file that QT understands (-2048)". I could open MIDI files from any source easily in OS 9.0.4 with QT Pro.
I checked MIME settings in QT preferences, and MIDI is checked as "on".
Also can't open MIDI file in eMac of piano music I saved on floppy disk from my Yamaha digital piano MIDI recorder. Get same message as above.
What can I do to get QT to open and play MIDI? Thank you.
eMac Mac OS X (10.4)

Hello,
Sorry for such a long message, but I want to make sure you have all the correct information. Issue #1 is still unsolved. Issue #2 I solved (see below).
Issue #1: QuickTime Pro 7.0.4 won't open Midi files created by external Midi recorder. QT does not recognize Midi file.
Just to clarify, I have a digital piano without USB, so I can't connect the piano to my new eMac to record my music with a suitable computer based Midi recorder/synthesizer and related program. This is my first attempt at recording Midi on an external, not computer based Midi recorder.
I have never tried to use any Midi recording process with my old iMac, OS 9.0.4, QuickTime 5.x
A few days ago I purchased an old (but new, never been used), Midi recorder which does not have USB but it connects to my piano to record as Midi what I play and save on its built in floppy disk. I use the in and out Midi portals on my piano and Midi recorder to send signals back and forth to the recorder, and play the music back in the piano so I can hear what I just played. That part works fine. The recorder is limited to only one Midi track per file for
recording music.
The floppy is MicroSoft DOS format which I initialized with the recorder before using it per the recorder's manual.
After recording several Midi files in the floppy, I wanted to hear them in my eMac and e-mail them. I assumed the Midi format would be recognized by eMac, regardless of the MicroSoft DOS format of the floppy, and that QuickTime would open them. Isn't .mid a generic extension recognized by Mac and QT as a Midi file?
The eMac displayed the Midi files (.mid) on the desktop (I used Imation SuperDisk external floppy drive to transfer the Midi files to eMac). When I double clicked on these files to open them, I got the message I quoted above in my first posting, that QuickTime did not recognize the Midi file.
Perhaps my recorder has some sort of code it assigns to the Midi it records that the Mac and/or QuickTime can't recognize? Or QT won't recocgnize a one track Midi file?
Do you have any guess as to why QT won't recognize my .mid files?
Issue #2: QT won't open Midi music I download from classicalarchives.com
This issue I solved a few hours ago - see below.
In my old iMac, OS 9.0.4 I would double click and listen to Midi music files at classicalarchives.com or any other url via QuickTime Pro 5.x, no problems.
I also downloaded, saved and opened them with QT 5.x
In new eMac, when I double click the Midi file on web, QT automatically opens usual player window and I can listen to Midi OK.
When I save file as "Source" from the above QT window, it is a Midi file (.mid) which QT will not open on the desktop, I get identical "not recognized" message I get with Midi recorder files.
I found a solution to opening and hearing the downloaded file as follows:
When I save Midi file via QT player window as "QuickTime Movie" (.mov), I can open it with QT and listen to it. So, Issue #2 is solved in order to listen to the Midi I download.
Thank you for your time and trouble. Please advise re Issue #1 before we close this case as "unsolved".

Exporting to .mp4 file using QuickTime Pro

Rather than use the Movie to iPod preset in QuickTime pro, I would like to export an .avi file to a .mp4 file using Movie to MPEG-4. I would like the resulting file to be encoded using h.264 video and to be 640 X 480. I want one file that I can include as an enclosure in the rss feed for my podcast that can be downloaded and played in both iTunes and on an iPod. So far, I have been able to create a .mp4 file that plays in iTunes/QuickTime but not on an iPod.
Would someone with experience in this please tell me which settings to use in the MPEG-4 export settings dialogue so that I get a file that can be played on the iPod.
The options are:
File Format (I chose mp4)
dropdown (I chose video)
Video Format (I chose H.264)
Data Rate (I know it's important that this not be too high but don't know what to put.)
Optimize For (download is the only choice for this option)
Image Size (I chose 640X480 VGA)
Preserve Aspect Ratio checkbox (My original video is 720X480. I don't think I should check this. I want to change the pixel aspect ratio to square pixels.)
using dropdown box (Letterbox, crop, fit within size) (only active when Preserve Aspect ratio is checked)
Framerate (I chose 29.97, which is the frame rate on the original .avi file)
Keyframe ( I set this to every 15 frames)

Thanks. I was aware of that information. But still am stuck on using QuickTime Pro to come up with a usable .mp4 file for the iPod. I think I am using the right settings, but it's still not working. That's why I included a lot of detail about the specific options in my question. Hopefully, there's someone out there who has used QuickTime Pro for this.
