Quicktime Pro and supported formats

Looking for confirmation on using Quicktime Pro to create slideshows that can be used for both Mac and PC uses:
- All other phones. iPhone is a sure thing.
- As a screen saver (Mac & PC)
- As DVD (Mac, PC, TV)
I know this is all about supported formats and have found what Quicktime Pro exports, but there's no admission on all the cross platform compatiblities.
Thanks in advance for your reply!

MOV containers with say H.264 are platform agnostic - QT files on Windows and QT on a mac play the same files assuming they have QT installed. You can buy Flip4mac export and even make WMV files using QT. You can export to 3gp for phones, that is a standard for the phone and again nothing to do with Quicktime per se.
QT does not author DVDs. That requires an MPEG-2 encoder so you can use iDVD which does have a slideshow function, or iPhoto to iDVD or make a slideshow in Quicktime then use that as your video source in a DVD authoring program, e.g. iDVD or more easily, in Toast.
I use Talaphoto from Talasoft to make slideshows, it writes a nice QT file and times music well to the duration. Then that QT file is used in Toast to make a DVD.
Your reference to DVD - PC, Mac, TV - again - another platform agnostic standard - DVD (video) is DVD - plays in a DVD player - computer, TV or either, but it has nothing to do with a mac as the source and everything to do with a DVD being written to the DVD standard.
No idea how you make a screensaver - look at screensaver writing programs and determine what source material is required.

I have purchased Quicktime Pro and entered the registration key but does not operate. Apple does not have a support tab for this so I'd appreciate any help. I have Windows 7 Home.

I have purchased Quicktime Pro and entered the registration code. It indicates at it has been installed, but it does not run. Any suggestions?

The trim to selection function is available and it appears to be working. For now, I seem to be operable as Pro even though the header doesn't say so. Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
QuickTime only appears on System Preferences if you are running Mac OS X Leopard, and you have OS X Mountain Lion.
In Mac OS X Snow Leopard and newer, QuickTime Player 7 isn't included, so you have to install it before getting QuickTime 7 Pro > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3678
After installing QuickTime Player 7, you have to activate it in order to get QuickTime 7 Pro. In that link, follow the steps under "Information for QuickTime 7 Pro users"

Quicktime Pro and JVC .Tod files

I have a JVC Everio and I edit my videos on my Macbook using Quicktime Pro and Final Cut Express HD 3.5. In order to have my videos work on FCE, I need to convert (as many of you may know already). I havent had a problem doing so and lately Ive only been editing 3-5 min clips and quality isnt that much of an importance to me for those small clips as they are only for testing purposes. My question now is, if I want a long (1hr-2hr) video with a nice, clear, HD picture from my .tod files (CBR 1440x1080), what format should I use in Quicktime Pro, to convert the video from a clear .tod file, to a clear "" file??? Any help would be appreciated!!! Thanks!!

Just thought I help out with the JVC community who's having the same problem I faced for months. They have actually now released new plugin that works with QT 7.4.x
I just got mail from JVC's escalation agent after months of mail ping-pong. I guess that appropriately make him E-Mail Specialist. You can download the latest Quicktime plugin for version 7.4.x on this URL
http://www2.cli.co.jp/products/ne/updateqtc_for_gzhd7/qtc3eupdate.htm
I just hope Apple does not release security update and release v7.5.x anytime soon. But that should be JVC's responsibility to keep its customers well updated with its TOD format conversions.
Finally now we can update to QT v7.4.x!! Good luck. And spread the word.
PS: I have yet to see an update on JVC's website about this new plugin release. But I cab confirm that its already lost lots of OSX Everio HD camcorder users.

Hello i just bought quicktime pro and the application doesnt open ( im on windows 7) tank you

hello i just bought quicktime pro and the application doesnt open ( im on windows 7) tank you

hello thanks for helping i found where the problem was coming from but no how to resolve it. it sems like the AC3 format of avi video is in conflict with quicktime pro or something like that..
i tried to take some codec for avi video but none of them resolved the problem if somebody has any answers thank you very much.

I have quicktime pro and it does NOT have the screen record mode that Quicktime is suppose to have. Can I uninstall it and go back to an older version that would have screen recording? If so, how? Step by step needed. Thank you for your time.

Did you remove Quicktime X?
On a normal install Quicktime 7 is installed in the Utilities folder and Quicktime Pro in the main Applications folder.
You will need to reinstall OS X to get Quicktime X back if you have deleted it.
I notice yor profile says 10.5.8. Quicktime X is only available on 10.6 and above.

I bought QuickTime Pro, and have QuickTime 7.1, but QTP won't run...

I bought QuickTime Pro, and have QuickTime 7.1. I have already registered QuickTime Pro, but when I try to use it, my computer just says I have QT 7.1 installed. I can't use and of the features of QTP. I followed the installation directions, but I must be missing a step because my computer has no clue that I own QTP! (Also, when I try to Export a video, it says that I need to install QuickTime Pro, which I've already installed...)

Have you attempted to re-enter your registration information? Or does it not allow you to do this?
Secondly, have you tried uninstalling Quicktime, then reinstalling it via the Control Panel or QuickTime Start Menu Group?

Quicktime Pro and getting videos off the web

I am bound and determined to get videos off the web and use them to make my own videos and what not. I was wondering if quicktime pro is the best program to use for my project. I have downloaded other programs that don't work and I am sick of the hassle. If there is a sure thing program anyone knows about, I'd love to know. Otherwise, it would be great to hear about quicktime pro and it's adeptness or otherwise at successfully getting videos off the web.

Okay I figured out how to do that, but once it is downloaded, I am still having trouble. I don't know which application to use to open the file. Quicktime won't open it because it says it's not a movie file. I downloaded a standalone player and that couldn't open it either. What do I do?

Quicktime Pro and WIndows Vista

Hi.
I just bought Quicktime Pro, and was looking for ways to upgrade my quicktime. I tried to follow the online instructions.
Except that the Online instructions don't work for Windows Vista, because the instructions are set for XP. I know this because there is no Quicktime Control Panel in my computer's Control Panel. Unless I'm doing something wrong, which I might be.
However, the issue is driving me up the wall and I'd really appreciate some help in getting to actually input the registration code SOMEWHERE.
Thank you.

QuickTime 7 Pro is activated by downloading the QuickTime 7 software from the Apple website. What you actually paid for is the registration to unlock the Pro features within QuickTime. What you should do is:
1) download the latest version of QuickTime 7 and install in on your machine.
2) there should be an icon in the Control Panel for both Vista + XP called "QuickTime" (if u don't see it, switch the Control Panel to Classic View located on the left hand tasks
- OR -
Open QuickTime 7 directly and click *Edit > Preferences > Register*
3) enter your necessary registration info then click OK/Apply
When it has updated, you can choose to update the software from *Help > Update Existing Software*

Quicktime pro and windows media formats

hi !
im using win xp pro and have installed quicktime pro to convert my videofiles for my new ipod
that works fine for .avi-, and .mov-files but not for .wmv or m.peg movies
what plugins do i need to play/convert these types of files too ?
thanks for feedback !
Kurt

QuickTime can't even be used to open WMP formats without third party software help. On a Mac we use http://flip4mac.com and pay extra money for the feature.
As I stated above, QuickTime Pro can't extract audio from muxed formats so you must start with a third party application. MPEG Streamclip works for Windows and OS X and is free.

NO AUDIO with QuickTime Pro and MPEG-2 Playback

I just purchased Sony Camcorder (Sony DCR-DVD610 DVD Handycam Camcorder with 40x Optical Zoom) and recorded some movies. But when I tried to view it through my iMac (Version 10.4.11) the MPG format files wouldn't played.
So I purchased "QuickTime Pro 7.5" and "MPEG-2 Playback" -- Well, the movies finally played BUT NO AUDIO at all. I also downloaded several supported codecs but still failed -- NO AUDIO.
Anybody knows the answer?. Please help -- Thanks much!

So I purchased "QuickTime Pro 7.5" and "MPEG-2 Playback" -- Well, the movies finally played BUT NO AUDIO at all. I also downloaded several supported codecs but still failed -- NO AUDIO.
All DVD camcorders I've seen use AC3 for audio. As QT Kirk pointed out, this audio format is not supported natively by QT which is why you need the latest Perian or the A52 codec installed.
The camcorder comes with 3" DVD+RW. Since my computer is iMac with CD/DVD drive slot on the side, I can't play the 3" DVD. The drive only play the regular 6" CD/DVD...
I believe Rick was trying to find out if you can connect the camcorder via the USB cable (closing iMovie '08 if it opens) and access the movies at the file level directly from the camcorder. If you can see the files on the camcorder, then they can be copied to your hard drive and/or opened in MPEG Streamclip for viewing/conversion to iMovie '08 "edit" compatible file formats. The free MPEG Streamclip application, together with the $20 MPEG-2 Playback component which you have already purchased, will allow you to convert your video files to DV, AIC, M-JPEG, Photo-JPEG, MPEG-4, or H.264 video with DV, AIFF (Big/Little Endian), Uncompresses, AAC, etc. compatible audio. DO NOT CONVERT TO APPLE ANIMATION OR APPLE VIDEO COMPRESSION FORMATS as they will import and edit but not export properly from iMovie '08. DO NOT USE QT PRO (or any other QT application) TO CONVERT YOUR FILES as this work flow will not retain the original audio content. (I.e., your original QT Pro conversion attempt may have lost the original audio content and, if so, no added component will now allow you to hear the non-existent audio.)

Quicktime Pro and .ts MPEG2 Files

I posted a similar question in the AppleTV forum, but thought it may be better suited here.
I have some HD .ts files that I'd like to convert for use with my AppleTV when it arrives. If I buy Quicktime Pro, would it be able to convert the file into an appropriately formatted AppleTV-ready file? Would I need to purchase the MPEG2 addon as well? If this is possible, would there be any steps that I would need to go through, or would be it as simple as opening the file and selecting 'Export to AppleTV'?
Also, what kind of editing capabilities are built-in to Quicktime Pro? Would I be able to make simple cuts to remove scenes/commercials that I did not want before exporting?

If I buy Quicktime Pro, would it be able to convert the file into an appropriately formatted AppleTV-ready file?No. In addition to the proble of opening such files, QT does not preserve the audio found in "muxed" formats which converting the MPEG-2 video data. A better application for conversion here would be MPEG Streamclip (free). It will handle TS files and either convert them directly to TV compatible files or convert them to DV files which and be edited in iMove, FCE, FCP, etc. before final conversion for TV use. This workflow does not require QT Pro, but I usually recommend purchasing it you think you may want to do any of a number of operations. While Streamclip is best suited for MPEG edits, merges, and sequential processes, QT excells at the layering of multiple tracks and other facets -- so the two really complement one another.
Would I need to purchase the MPEG2 addon as well?Yes, both MPEG Streamclip and QT require the MPEG-2 QT component for conversion of MPEG-2 (but not MPEG-1) files. "Muxed" MPEG formats (MPEG-1 or MPEG-2) do not retaing audio when converted by QT Pro or iTunes. In addition, QT does not support AC3 audio natively -- yet another reason for using MPEG Streamclip.
If this is possible, would there be any steps that I would need to go through, or would be it as simple as opening the file and selecting 'Export to AppleTV'?This is really up to you. You can, of course, convert to an TV compatible file directly from MPEG Streamclip. Or, you can convert to a fully compatible QT format like DV or Animation which can then be converted to an TV filr using either the "adaptive" feature of QT Pro's "Movie to TV" export option (or applications that access QT Pro options) which will create an TV compatible file based on the current display saize and frame rate (or use QT Pro's manual "Movie to MPEG-4" export option).
Also, what kind of editing capabilities are built-in to Quicktime Pro?Basically, you can do anything from chaptering you files to layering a "picture-in-picture" display.
Would I be able to make simple cuts to remove scenes/commercials that I did not want before exporting?Not in QT Pro but you can both trim and merge MPEG-2 content. The process is simple and straight forward once you know how. If you to do more, like add titles, transitions, and stills, add audio overlays/blends, add special effects, add chapters, and create outputs in numerous delivery formats, then use of a full editor application would be better.

Importing to iMovie and supported formats

I'm new to iMovie, and I'm still running '08, and I don't know what video formats are supported. I ripped a home video DVD using HandBrake and found out that iMovie 08 doesn't support .m4v. I tried saving it as a Quicktime Movie file with Quicktime Pro, but iMovie still wouldn't import. Can anyone tell what I can do because I really want to edit my video and burn it on more discs for the rest of my family. So, any help on what formats are supported and what I can do to import my video to iMovie (no. 1 priority) is what I would like help with, please. Thanks for any help.

Here is how I import a DVD into iMovie try it. Get yourself a 4 Gig Thumb Drive plug it in.
Insert the DVD when the DVD Player comes up close it.
Double click the DVD icon on the desk top and drag the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS
folder into the Thumb Drive. Open iMovie 8 or 9 it may take a Minute or more
iMovie see's the Thumb Drive as camera and you may import the content. Thats it, plain and simple
have fun Cheers Herb

Quicktime pro and flip 4 mac

Every time I try to export a movie in QuickTime (Pro), in various formants, Flip 4 Mac comes up and says it will put a watermark on the movie unless I buy the Flip4Mac pro.
Thanks

If your source file is in WMP format or your export option is to WMP formats then you are working using the "trial mode" of the Flip4Mac software.
You must purchase one of the upgrades to that third party software to complete your task.
