QuickTime Pro, converting .mov to .wma

I converted .mov file to .wma file. But .wma file doesn't have full length of the original. It cuts off. Why is that?

Windows can play .mov files directly, without conversion - there is a Windows version of Quicktime Player, a free download from Apple at
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download
You need to go there from a Windows machine to be offered the Windows version.

  • Will Quicktime Pro convert movies in other formats for use with IPad Air 2

    ITunes 12 will let me import movies with no problem. However I cannot export these movies out to my IPhone 6 or IPad Air 2. Will Quicktime Pro allow me to convert these movies so they can be exported? I don't want to spend the $30 for it if the software will not do it.
    Or if anyone else knows of another solution, I'm open to other options. I use to have an Samsung Galaxy 2 tablet and I just switched over to an IPad Air 2. Been using an IPhone for years.
    Thanks!

    Nearly all "all-in-one" or multifunction devices will work with a Mac, but I recommend purchasing one from a company that visibly supports OS X. Brother, Canon, and Epson are all good choices. At present, no other common printer manufacturers are worth considering.
    Wireless all-in-one devices are convenient and cost about the same as USB-only ones. Consider AirPrint compatibility for future needs.
    Recently I have grown to favor Brother printers over the others. I recommend AirPrint compatible Brother printers and multifunction devices over those of other manufacturers. They are inexpensive, their OS X integration is well-implemented, their consumables are reasonably priced, and their technical support is free forever. If you need to call them and explain that you have a Mac, you will immediately receive competent assistance.
    I have grown to dislike HP printers, for all the above reasons.
    Read user reviews from vendor websites - Amazon is a good place to start, since Amazon lets people write almost anything they want... right, wrong, or completely idiotic.
    Read the reviews on the respective manufacturers' websites as well, but consider the likelihood of them deleting negative reviews.
    Process all those user reviews employing your own common sense, and draw your own conclusions.

  • What is a M3U file and can QuickTime Pro convert

    I am on You Tube, and am having all kinds of people wanting to be in my video's. So I had this girl shoot some footage and send it to me, and it came as a M3U file. When i clikc it , iTunes opens, I think it's some kind of streaming file? She has a Sony camera, and just uploads from her camera onto You tube, with NO prolbmes. Will QuickTime Pro convert this to a .MOV file, or is there a program that will do this? i slo have Final Cut Pro...but I could not get that to do it.

    The .m3u extension is a "playlist" file and is audio only.

  • Will Quicktime Pro convert/compress .dv files to Quicktime?

    I have .dv movies that are taking up so much space on my hard-drive. I purchased Quicktime Pro to compress those files so they will take up less space. I don't see in the tutorial how to do this. Could someone please point me in the right direction so I can see how to do this? Thanks!

    Will Quicktime Pro convert/compress .dv files to Quicktime?
    Of course.
    I don't see in the tutorial how to do this. Could someone please point me in the right direction so I can see how to do this?
    This is impossible to do until you define what you mean by "QuickTime."
    Basically, a "QuickTime" (MOV) file is any form of dat that can be placed in an MOV file container -- not a compression format in and of itself. Therefore, your first step is to determine what you really want to do here. For instance, a DV (.dv) stream file normally consists of an audio DV compressed track along with a video DV compressed track. DV(25) files normally contain audio and video tracks having a data rate on the order of 28.5 Mbps each (or about a 57 Mbps total average data rate). As you indicated, these do make for rather large files. You could, of course, reduce the total data rate by nearly half if you merge the original video track with AIFF (linear PCM) converted audio (or even smaller if you use an AAC audio track). The catch here is that QT Pro does not have a DV "pass thorough" video option which allows you to simply convert the audio while retaining the original DV video. So unless you are willing to manually convert the audio track and then manually replace the original Audio track with your converted audio, you would normally have to convert both audio and video to another compression format.
    In this latter case, you could select any valid codec supported by QT as augmented by installed components. Typical possibilities would be AIC/AIFF, unlimited H.264/AAC, Motion-JPEG/AIFF Photo-JPEG/AIFF, supported MPEG4/AAC or H.264/AAC profiles with limited data rates. These compression options are all compatible with iMovie '08 editing and represent a full range of possible data rates (which in turn determine your final file size). For instance, an AIC/AIFF file would normally end up with a total data rate on the order of 20-22 Mbps with an unlimited H.264/AAC about 16-18 Mbps, M-JPEG 10 Mbps, Photo-JPEG 8-9 Mbps, and MPEG4/AAC or H.264 as low as you can stand the loss in quality and still retain a video track.
    These various compression formats basically represent a compromise between file size and quality with the quoted data rates being typical for SD content with an "average" quality setting. While actual data rates are always dependent on the actual file converted, the stated averages should provide some idea as to what you could expect in comparison to your original source file -- i.e., the AIC/AIFF file would be expected to be about 62-65% the size of your DV file, unlimited H.264/AAC 28-31%, M-JPEG/AIFF 17-18%, Photo-JPEG 14-15%, and MPEG4/AAC or H.264/AAC in the 3-5% range with "reasonable" quality levels.
    Since each codec has somewhat different characteristics and user options, I will not go into specifics for each here. What I would recommend at this point is for you to select a short file with typical content and convert it wising the various codecs and determine what compromise in file size and quality you can live with at the display size you plan to use. This in turn will likely depend to some extent on what you plan to do with the final file. For the archiving of files for later use/editin, you like want files to retain as much quality as possible which, in turn, usually implies large file sizes. On the other hand, distribution files can be much more highly compressed as a "finished" product which you don't intend to re-compress or edit further. Remember, when you compress a file more compact format you are literally "throwing away" data so you should be most judicious in selecting that appropriate format to which to compress your files for the saving of file space.

  • Windows Vista & ISight - QuickTime Pro/Windows Movie Maker issues

    I recently bought a MacBook Pro and I really like, but I am having one small issue that is really confusing me. Basically, I installed Windows Vista using BootCamp and I also installed all BootCamp drivers successfully. This basically allows me to use ISight for some chat applications (e.g. Live Messenger). However, I can't access ISight through QuickTime Pro Windows Movie Maker. Are those not compatible?
    If not, what other options do I have? Basically, I am looking for some software to record ISight video for my family. And, yes, I know there is good software on the OSX side which I am already using, but I also would like to have to option to use some video editing software I already own on Windows.
    Thanks,
    Jens

    windtalker64, if it's a .mov you cannot take it into movie maker, it has to be converted to a .avi for movie maker to accept it. I used QT pro to convert a .mov to a .avi, took it into movie maker and it then became a .wmv, which is what I was trying to do. I'm going back 3 years ago when I did this so unless things have changed?

  • Does Quicktime Pro convert VOB DVD files?

    I'm very new to DVD although not to Macs (Thankfully). I'm ripping my hair out trying to convert Canon (rewriteable) dvds into a format the Mac will read. (Windows seems to support all dvds with Ulead etc....) Will Quicktime Pro convert VOB files into something I can play back on the Mac? I assume from other postings the files should be in MPEG-2 format. If not, what on earth can I buy that will do the job simply and cheaply....

    Try Mpeg StreamClip: ( http://www.squared5.com ) it's free. It will convert from VOB to DV, QT and several other formats, but you will have to have the Mpeg 2 codec on your Mac to use it, that can be purchased here, ( http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/ ) if you don't have it already.
    Another sharware program for transcoding, to different formats and can burn to DVD when it finished transcoding is called VisualHub, found here: http://www.techspansion.com/visualhub/tryit.php . It comes with the codecs, (via a free download after VH is installed.
    It costs $23.32USD

  • Can Quicktime Pro convert  Flip MinoHD video for Adobe Premiere 2.0

    The Flip MinoHD shoots pretty good video that I want to edit in Adobe Premiere 2.0. The problem is that the Flip HD files are in a .mp4 format that Premiere doesn't recognize.
    Can Quicktime Pro convert the Flip .mp4 files into
    1) .avi files 720x480 with the DV standard that Adobe Premiere 2.0 can edit? I believe this type of file is a "type 2 avi".
    2) a type of HD file that Adobe Premiere 2.0 can edit (when editing HD video - mostly from my sony HD camcorder whose files work fine with Premiere.)?

    If QT Player can open those files, it should be able to export them into a format Premiere can work with. You can see the export formats QuickTime supports here:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/pro/specs.html
    Note that AVI is a container format. QT, I believe, exports AVI using the Cinepak codec by default, so make sure Premiere supports that or select a different format (DV Stream, perhaps).
    Pro adds nothing in the way of playback capabilities, so try the free QuickTime and see if it can open and play those files. If it can't, then don't waste your money on a QuickTime Pro key.

  • Can quicktime Pro edit movies??

    hello
    i just had a quick question, does quicktime Pro edit movies?? my main interest is in aligning dialogue and scenes. i downloaded a few videos off of google video and the sound is 2 seconds ahead of the picture, so was just curious if this could edit that or if any other programs can me recommended
    thank you!!

  • Can quicktime pro convert windows movies?

    Hi look i was told that quicktime pro can convert movies that you can play on windows media player to be able to play in quicktime format. well im trying to play a movie and it keeps sending me to a third party site list and saying to down load on of the downloads to be able to play the file. but idk which one none of them say which one is for which file. cna anyone help?

    It depends on the format. QuickTime cannot natively play any WMV content, if that's what you're referring to. There are WMV plugins for Macs, but I'm not aware of any for Windows, so if you have WMV content and want to get it into QuickTime format, you'll have to use some other tool to convert the WMV to a format QuickTime can accept (a list can be found here.

  • QuickTime Pro will not open .wma (Error #2048)

    I have a few .wma movie files that I have created in (the horrible) "Windows Live Movie maker".
    I wanted to be able to play these files on my iTunes, so I foolishly purchased QuickTime Pro after reading the description. "QuickTime 7 Pro can convert your media to different formats, so you can watch a movie or video on your iPhone, iPod, and Apple TV..". But it refuses to open any .wma files so that I can convert them. I keep getting the error message #2048. I read somewhere that installing new codecs might help...? If so, please treat me like 5 year old and explain to me where to start with that. Or should I just give up on it altogether?
    It is really frustrating... I've ripped my hair so much I have bald spots and they are growing by the minute
    Any solutions for this problem will be very much appriciated! Thanks!

    I was afraid of that.. :-(
    Yeah... well, I've tried to import the files to iTunes, both through drag'n drop and by Files/Add to Library but nothing, zip, zero happens. Not even an error message appears. I have no problem with adding mpeg4 files but I get no reaction when trying to add the wma's...

  • Can Quicktime Pro convert CamStudio video into iMovie?

    Dear All
    I use CamStudio to record some Windows application presentations. I heard that QuickTime Pro gives the ability to convert any playable movie to be converted to formats that iMovie accepts. I am pondering if I should by QuickTime pro or not. Could you please give me some advice? Here are my questions.
    I am wondering if anyone has tried to import the video recorded using CamStudio to QuickTime Pro and convert to a format that iMovie can accept and edit?
    Another question would be, is there any formatting limitation iMovie possesses which limits the merger of two videos from two sources?
    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    Here's the summary of what I did :
    Downloaded [CamStudio|http://camstudio.org>
    Openen VirtualBox on my Mac and installed Camstudio in Win XP.
    Made a screenmovie.
    Saved it to the Mac.
    Opened it in QT Pro on the Mac.
    Exported it to QuickTime (.mov) and MPEG-4 (.mp4).
    Opened both in iMovie.
    Made movie with both clips.
    Exported it to .m4v.
    So it is possible.
    And here's the movie : [CamStudio|http://www.wyodor.net/_Discussions/CamStudio.html]

  • QuickTime Pro - preparing movie to go on .Mac so it can be downloaded to PC

    I have created a movie using different applications (i.e. iPhoto; GarageBand; iMovie; Quicktime Pro, etc.). I have it posted on my website using iWeb, and I am able to download the movie to my desktop where I can resize it to fill the screen. I would like others to be able to do this on their computers.
    When I tried it out on my PC, the triangle on the lower right side of the QuickTime movie wouldn't even open. I have QuickTime Pro installed on both computers. Is there a way to save QuickTime movies to .Mac websites so that others can download them to their desktop no matter what kind of computer they have?

    Thanks for the reply.
    I will take your answer step by step to make sure I understand. You said:
    1. "Saving" a QuickTime movie using the controller is a feature of the Pro upgrade so only Pro owners can save your iWeb files using the controller menus.
    My response:
    My original question mentioned that on my PC I also have QuickTime Pro and yet I'm not able to activate the controller menu (I'm guessing the downward pointing triangle at the bottom right is called the controller menu - if I'm wrong please let me know). I have also told my friends who want to be able to download the movie, that they have to have QuickTime Pro.
    You also stated:
    2. Make sure your page layout in iWeb doesn't have some page element "covering" the controller part of the window.
    My response:
    You are right about that. I've discovered that problem several times. It isn't an issue here, however. I also have tried several different ways to save the movie. First just using a blank page with nothing but the movie on it. Next, using the movie page with nothing but the movie on it. Also using both the .mov format (original QuickTime self-contained movie format), and the .m4v format. It still can't be downloaded to the desktop on my PC.
    You added:
    3. To allow others to keep a copy of your file merely requires you give them the direct URL to the file. They can then use any Web browser to keep a copy.
    You can add this to your iWeb page as a "text based" link.
    I'm not sure I understand this last piece of advice. I have the movie on a website I created through .Mac and iWeb. My friends are able to view the movie on my website. Since the width of the movie is determined by the way iWeb is set up, you can only view the movie ON the website in the width you use when you save it to iWeb. I have resized it as large as possible on the page on my website. When you are able to download a movie from a website to the desktop, however, you can resize it or "Present the movie" so it fills up the screen. You also can open it in iTunes and then convert it to play on an iPod if you wish. That is what I would like others to be able to do so long as they have QuickTime Pro.
    I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "They can use any web browser to keep a copy." How does that allow you to download the movie to the desktop?
    Thanks again for responding. If you have any thoughts to add, please send them.

  • Quicktime Pro converting files

    I have an Insignia 5.0MP High-Definition Digital Camcorder with 3" Swivel LCD Screen but the AVI files it produces are useable on iMovie. Will Q Pro convert them from AVI to something I can use with iMovie?

    QuickTime Pro adds nothing in terms of the formats QuickTime can handle. So purchasing QT Pro would not solve the first part of your problem, getting the videos to play. QuickTime can natively handle many video formats, but there are hundreds of them so no player can play them all.
    As I said above, download and install Perian, which may allow your video to play. Once QuickTime can play the video, you should be able to export it in a format iMovie can handle.
    Where do I find them
    By clicking on the link I provided in my first post (the purple-colored word is a link).
    Apple offers do support from their poeple. We are left on our own. Great racket.
    Sure they do. But you have to call them. And you don't get free support for a $30.00 product, nor for video formats that Apple doesn't support. That's why Apple (at significant expense) provides these forums; so people can get help from other users for those issues that Apple can't handle.

  • Quicktime Pro - missing movie controls in browser plugins

    When viewing QT movies in my browsers, I have full functionality except that the control strip is replaced with a black bar. Buttons do behave (the volume slider even appears if I click where it should be) but they are not displayed.
    This occurs in both Firefox 2.0.1 and IE 7. It happens with QT 7.1.3 and also happened with the previous version (7.0.2 I believe).
    My OS is WinXP x64
    Mac Pro 2.66 Other OS Windows XP 64bit

    Well... since the generic feedback form is the only other way to post any kind of information to Apple about QuickTime (incredibly short-sided for a paid "pro" product) we'll continue to post here regardless of whether it is "supported".
    Quicktime Pro is an important part of my company's pipeline... which is also dependent on Windows 64bit (32bit just doesn't cut it for highly complex, high-resolution 3D rendering). There is no alternative.

  • QT Pro converts mp3 to wma?

    I have a new cell phone that (Verizon RAZR) that only plays WMA music files. I've read that you can convert mp3 files to wma using QT Pro. Is that true? If so, how do I do it?
    If not, can anyone tell me a way to convert mp3s to wma files? I've heard that Flip4Mac can do this, but I'm not willing to pay $50 for the privilege.

    You might want to save up for Flip4mac. Or google for some shareware wma converter or exporter. Flip4mac cheapest paid version exports from Windows Media to QT. The more expensive two add exporting to Windows media. YOu need to export to WMA.
