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.

  • Which Code of avi can play in QT Pro and Window Media Player?

    Which Code of avi also can play in QT Pro and Window Media Player?

    Nevermind ... not that simple apparently. I managed to get one of the avi's in the CS5 project created automatically when opening the original CS4 project to show the entire contents but can't replicate the behavior to another project using the same avi. Here are the media start, end, duration and video in, out duration values for the file. Viewing the avi in the source monitor I can see the full 16+ minutes. Odd disconnect between the 2 sets of values.
    Any idea would be great!
    Thanks,

  • 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 Installation and Windows Media Player in IE 9

    Upon installation, Quicktime becomes the add-on player of mp3 files in Internet Explorer 9 when running under Windows 7 (x64). I want to return that function to Windows Media Player. Every prospective solution I've come across so far has no effect, including altering preferences in Quicktime, changing file associations, and managing add-ons. Definitive solution, anyone?
    BB

    If the website you visit to view these mp3 files is setup to use QuickTime player to handle them. Than changing file association preferences may not make a difference because the HTML is written for QT to handle

  • MacBook Pro and Windows Media Player

    So many of my former sites for news and humor use Windows Media Player almost exclusively. Although I have WMA on my MacBook Pro, it does not work for sites such as CNN and Comedy Central. I have tried dowloading the player again and flip for mac (which apparently does not work for intel Macs). If anyone knows a way around this, I'd appreciate it greatly.
    Thanks!
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Flip4Mac released a version for Intel Macs. You can get it here:

    Make sure you follow the installation instructions. I have used Flip4Mac to view CNN videos on my father's Intel Mac. I've never tried it with Comedy Central. Note that you can subscribe to Comedy Central's Motherload via iTunes podcasts.

  • Quicktime and windows media player question??

    i have sent a quicktime file of a spot i did for a client, they like it and have uploaded it to their website, but they are getting some that say they can not view it because they only use windows media player, i know this maybe a stupid question but how can i send them a copy they can use in media player so they have both?? thanks for you help!!!

    you can buy and use the WMV Studio windows media export components from Flip4Mac which wil allow you to export to a windows media format directly from FCP and other suitable QT compliant apps ...
    or you can copy the file over onto your own quicktime enabled PC and use the free, and much faster, windows media encoder there.

  • Audio sync different between QuickTime and Windows Media Player

    I've run into a new problem I've never encountered before. When playing a video on QuickTime on a Windows PC, the audio is in perfect sync. However, when I play the same QT video on Windows Media Player, the audio is out of sync by as much as three seconds. The Windows software is current. The source content is created using ProTools 10 on a Mac running Yosemite, from an original QT mp4 converted to a .mov via quicktime for import into ProTools. The output was a standard .mov. I also tried converting it to an mp4 via QT, but the result was the same.
    This is a pretty alarming discovery as I now have to test any videos bounced from ProTools on a PC Windows Media Player to make sure someone doesn't view it this way, with the audio sync appearing incorrectly.
    Anybody know why this happened? Or how to prevent it in the future?

    You can install Perian,

    although this will be the last version, and Flip4Mac.
    http://download.cnet.com/Flip4Mac-WMV-Player/3000-13632_4-87679.html
    Otherwise you may have to look at a different and more extensive player such as VLC

  • 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.

  • Premiere Pro and Adobe Media Encoder running slow

    Hello everyone,
    I'm having trouble with CS4, which is running significantly slower than CS3 did on a older machine. The CS4 suite is installed on a Dell Precision M6400:
    Windows Vista 64-Bit
    Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T9400 @ 2.53 GHz
    8 GB RAM
    NVIDIA Quadro FX 2700M Graphics with 512MB dedicated memory
    The OS is running on a 57.5 GB HD (C:) and the Adobe suite is installed on a 298 GB Solid State HD (D:), except for Adobe Media Encoder, which is installed on the C: drive.
    My project has 4 15-16 minute sequences. The sequences are in DV NTSC, 29.97 fps,  My scratch disks are set to a folder on the C: drive. Media Cache Files and the Media Cache Database points to a folder on the D: drive.
    These are some of the problems I'm having:
    - Premiere Pro CS4 generates peak files every time I open a project
    - It then takes 3-5 minutes to render before I can preview a 16-minute sequence
    - Adobe Media Encoder takes 5 hours to render a 16-minute sequence (as flv) that has been previously rendered
    - AME takes 1 hour to render every 15 minute sequence that has never been rendered before
    Are my settings affecting their performance? Is there any way to improve it? Thanks.
    (Premiere Pro is the only app that is slow)

    The data rate for replay is one thing, the data rate from disk to memory then from memory to CPU and back the other way are different matters and ought not to be confused. It is well-established that for a computer to edit AVCHD you need top end components, and note that I said there were three tasks to distinquish with increasing hardware requirements, namely merely replaying the video, specifying edits in the editor and then the rendering. It is commonly accepted by all the industry vendors that to do remotely commercial AVCHD rendering you need a minimum Quadcore CPU then that eats data fast, in order to not let it go to waste you need a fast motherboard bus fast memory and in order for none of those to go to waste you need the fastest disk set-up you can manage. I in fact have a 4-disk RAID0 volume using SATA (I think the disk model is SATAII but I have to await return from the repair center before I can confirm). For this RAID0 volume I have run speed test software from BlackMagic because I have one of their HDTV capture cards. It recorded that this volume which remember is doing parallelised IO is just fast enough to receive a encoded HDTV stream from the BlackMagic card but too slow to receive an uncompressed HDTV stream, indeed when I tried both I found the volume did keep up with compressed but fell behind with uncompressed. Remember that with a RAID0 volume of 4 SATAII disks a given file gets spread over the four disks and hence IO is spread over those 4 3G/s data lanes. Also remember with these disks 3G/s is just a burst speed, for AVCHD we are interested in sustained serial IO which is much less.
    Before my machine broke down, I found that it took 5 hours to render 33 minutes of HDTV albeit as it went along it transcoded from AVCHD to a Microsoft HD format for Vista-only. Another interesting thing is that I found that the longer this render ran the slower it became, the estimated time started at 3 hours but the actual was five and the last one third took maybe 3 hours. Because the machine broke after that run I couldn't figure the bottleneck. For my machine bear in mind that at the repair shop we found that the Quadcore had only half the necessary electrical power plugged in, the monitor software showed however that it constantly ran around 90% of whatever capacity that reduced power supply permitted. Now then we can puzzle over why it got slower and slower and yet CPU consumption remained consistent and near to full capacity, memory was not the bottleneck because that was constant at 6.4G. But you can say that this was maybe performing like a Dualcore and was hitting some sort of wall, if you had a 1 hour render with that rate of degeneration of performance factored in what would happen to the render time, and for 3 hours you could be running indefinitely. I hope when the machine comes back the correct power supply will make it behave like a Quadcore should for this type of application. Anyway I have two theories for the degradation. First is just that PrProCS4 was getting its knickers in a twist and thereby just doing more computation per minute of video to be rendered as time went by, maybe internal resource management related to OO-type programming maybe, or related to disk IO falling behind, both these theories have problems, for the latter the CPU usage should then have dropped also.
    Anyways, you need really a Quadcore system and blazing fast disk to work fully with AVCHD commercially, we found an external SATAII disk so if I were you I would just go get one and move on with your life.

    For AVCHD you MUST have FAST disks.
    AVCHD actually has a lower data date than DV. You need lots of CPU muscle, but disk speed is really not a factor specific to AVCHD. Anything that works for DV will work just as well for AVCHD (and HDV as well).

  • Export H264 pass-through movie with embedded text track QuickTime Pro 7 Windows?

    Using QuickTime Pro 7 for Windows, I add a text track with closed captions to my H264 .mp4 videos. 
    The text track works great until I try to export it.  After I've added the text track, the text track is displayed as long as the track is selected to be active using the Movie Inspector track GUI.
    My movies are encoded as H264 for cross-platform compatibility, and need to remain in this format.  The only way to save them in QuickTimePro 7 for Windows is to Export Movie to MPEG-4.  I select Pass-Through mode to retain the resolution and bandwidth parameters that I initially encoded the video with.
    Unfortunately, after I export to MPEG-4, the caption track is lost.  It disappears.  When I open the newly exported MPEG-4 caption file, and select Movie Inspector, the caption track is missing.  Inspector only shows video and audio tracks.
    If QuickTime Pro 7 for Windows correctly exported my text track with the video and audio tracks, then users would be able to view the closed captions upon playback in QuickTime Player by selecting View--> Show Closed Captioning (Ctrl+Alt+T).
    Anyone been able to export to MPEG-4 pass-through movie with embedded text track QuickTime Pro 7 Windows?
    Thank you!

  • Exporting in windows media format - only get 30 seconds!

    I am trying to export a HDV film into windows media format for my client. They want the film to be 320 x 180, in windows media format and under 10mb, for use on their website.
    The film is 3 1/2 minutes long, but when I try and export using quicktime conversion and then select windows media. I have tried fiddling with some of the settings but it keeps just doing 30 seconds of the film. What am I doing wrong? What settings should I be using?
    Please help me,
    Thank you,
    Tom

    IMO, Flip4Mac Studio is a much better product than Visual Hub. Both cost money, but better feature set within F4M. As you experienced, you can only get 1/2 the duration of exports, up to a limit of 30 seconds, in trial mode.
    If you want the studio version, go to your WMV preferences and click on the upgrade tab.

  • Quicktime Pro for Windows

    I bought Quicktime Pro for windows because of the beautiful advertisement. It had to be possible to convert every video into every format possible.
    I tried to convert several mpg en mov files (from Sony camera) into mp4 and 3GP. Playing of these mpg and mov- files in QT is not a problem, even with audio. So it doesn't seem a codec problem. But after exporting these files into other format, there is no audio anymore.
    If I change a mov or mpg file and save it in the same file-format, audio is not corrupted.
    What is it that I do wrong?
    Dell Inspiron 9300   Windows XP  

    QT does not export sound from muxed mpeg files: QT Mpeg Limitations. This freeware should do the trick: Mpeg StreamClip
    If the mpegs in question are mpeg-2 you will need to buy the mpeg2playbackcomponent from Apple ($20 US). Note that these programs will not work with encrypted Hollywood movies.

  • Can I use quicktime to watch windows media streaming with authentication?

    I everyone. I am running into a problem here. I have a Mac Book Pro and would like to watch some windows media streams. Until last month I was using Quicktime to watch them because they were not protected. But beginning on this month they implemented a security access where we need to put login and password in order to watch the stream.
    If I try to acess that mms using Windows Media Player or Real Player on Windows, it opens a pop up asking for my username and password. However on my Mac Book Pro I can't get to this authentication screen using any player.
    I have tried Quicktime, but also tried VLC, Real Player and Windows Media Player 9 for Mac. None of these play the mms since they started using the authentication scheme.
    Can anyone help? Can I somehow authenticate to the sever and watch the mms on my Mac Book Pro? (I know I can use a Virtual Machine and watch this on Windows, but I would prefer to not depending on Windows)
    Appreciate any help!
    Denis

    Sorry, I should have clarified that. MMS is the stream protocol used by Microsoft Media Services (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicrosoftMediaServices) .
    I know Quicktime could run it if I have Flip4Mac installed, that's why I could watch those streams until last month. The problem started after then applied authentication to those streams. Now when I go to Quicktime, select "Open URL" option, and add the stream mms address (mms://link), it just doesn't do anything. It is something with the authentication because when there was no authentication it just worked perfectly.
    Is there any way to make Quicktime authenticate to a Windows Media Server?
