Quicktime Pro DivX Export missing!

Until very recently I could export video as DivX files. I have noticed in recent days that this option is no longer available in my QTPro.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Ah, re-installation and RESTART sorted it. Sorry to yell for help so prematurely!

Midi Files Don't Work In FCE..and I don't have Quicktime pro to export it

Hi there,
I am working on a project in Final Cut Express 1.0.1
I have a MIDI sound file that will not import into the application. Also, I don't have quicktime pro to export that file to a mp3 or aiff.
Does anybody know if their is a free plugin that will allow me to export my midi file or import it into Final Cut.

Try this, it may work -
Set iTunes Preferences > Importing > Import Using > AIFF Encoder
Set the AIFF Encoder preferences to 16 bit, stereo, 48KHz
Add the MIDI file to your iTunes library. This may convert your Midi file to AIFF.
If not, once the MIDI file is in your iTunes library,
Select the MIDI file in your iTunes library
Go to the Advanced menu and select 'Convert to AIFF'
Then export the AIFF file to your hard drive
Then import the AIFF into FCE

Quicktime Pro Windows export problem

Whenever I try to export a video in Quicktime Pro, I always get "Error -43: A file could not be found."
What is wrong with this thing? I've tried everything I can think of. How do I solve this?
Message was edited by: Richtus

Let's start with some basics:
What version of QuickTime?
What is the format of the original file?
Does that file play, in it's entirety, in QuickTime?
To what format are you attempting to export the video?

Audio upsampling in Quicktime Pro: Best export settings for Final Cut?

I'm using Quicktime Pro to convert audio from 32 kHz to 48 kHz, for use in FCE/FCP. Quicktime gives me several options for export settings. I want to make the conversion lossless, without increasing the size of the audio file too much.
These are the settings I'm using so far:
Format: Linear PCM
Channels: Stereo (L R)
Rate: 48 kHz
Sample Rate Converter Settings: Quality: Best
Linear PCM Settings: Sample size: 16 bits
Are these settings the best choices? Does anyone have experience doing this kind of upsampling?
Here are the other options in Quicktime:
Format: Linear PCM, A-Law 2:1, IMA 4:1, MACE 3:1, MACE 6:1, QDesign Music 2, Qualcomm PureVoice, and mu-Law 2:1
Channels: 2 Discrete Channels, Mono, Stereo (L R)
Rate: there are other choices, but I know 48 kHz is what I want
Advanced Settings:
Sample Rate Converter Settings: Faster, Fast, Normal, Better, Best
Linear PCM Settings (when Linear PCM is the format): 8 bit, 16 bit, 24 bit, 32 bit (floating point checked), 32 bit (floating point unchecked).
The file size grows quickly as you increase the Linear PCM bit settings.

You can't create something that is not in the file.
Moving from 32kHz to 48 will only make the file size
larger and can't improve the audio.
Doesn't FCP or FCE import your file at 32. Or does it
change it to 48 after import?
I am aware that increasing the audio from 32 kHz to 48 kHz will not improve the quality of the audio. And yes, Final Cut Pro and Express will both capture and allow you to work witih 32 kHz audio.
I have several hours of video shot with 32 kHz audio settings that I'd prefer to have stored on disk with 48 kHz audio, because (a) some applications like iMovie have demonstrated problems with 32 kHz audio in the past, and (b) the majority of my video is shot with 48 kHz audio, so my 32 kHz video will eventually end up in a 48 kHz project, leaving the upsampling to Final Cut. Yes, I do eventually plan to burn my projects to DVD as well, but this isn't an immediate concern.
The problem with doing the conversion in Final Cut is this: Some of the people knowledgeable about Final Cut Pro and Express recommend doing the upsampling using Quicktime or another application, instead of using Final Cut, because Final Cut may not do as good a job as Quicktime. So my intention is to upsample the audio now in preparation for later projects. I don't completely understand why Final Cut wouldn't do as good of a job at upsampling, but a couple of experienced users in the FCP and FCE forums have independently corroborrated this.
Thanks to everyone for their helpful posts and responsiveness.

QuickTime Pro audio exporting error - help please!

So I've got Perian installed to read 1080p HD movies and I opened up .mkv files in QuickTime Pro and allowed it to read the files into memory (let the grey bar go for a few minutes). Once that was done, I wanted to export the DTS 5.1 surround sound audio track to .AIF format and do a pass through encoding of the video only. After this, I use MAX to convert the .AIF file into an AC3 file which I add back into the video only to create the final .mp4 file with 5.1 sound. I've done this successfully before and I prefer this method to downconverting the 5.1 audio into stereo sound when converting the .mkv to .mp4. This time however, QuickTime Pro miserably failed. I have Avatar in 1080p and The Lord of the Rings trilogy in 1080p as well and I wanted to convert them to .mp4 the same way I've done before. All of them failed with the same error. When I tried to export the audio, I believe it said, "qtKiterrorcatchall (-1309)" and it failed. It said this for all of the videos and strangely enough, it worked great with another .mkv movie I had perfectly with audio and video tracks in the same formats. Does anyone know how I can fix this and export the audio track so I can preserve the surround sound and put it back into the .mp4 video file? Many thanks...

I'm having the same problem. Were you able to get an response or and answer to this problem? Thanks

Video conversion using Quicktime Pro (Which Export Settings?)

I tried converting videos (.avi) to .m4v so that I can play them on my iPod Touch. However I am having problems.
iPod Touch documentation says that the following video file formats are supported by iPod touch:
A H.264 (Baseline Profile Level 3.0)
B MPEG-4 (Simple Profile)
My question is:
1. Can anyone show me how can i covert to those format using Quicktime Pro? And please do let me know which exact EXPORT setting I am supposed to use. I used EXPORT> Movie to iPod . It did not seem to work.
Thanks in Advance.

I use it on a 24" iMac C2D running at 2.33GHz with 3GB of RAM, and it's much quicker than a regular QT export and a bit quicker than VisualHub. I won't quote a time to encode a "2 hour movie" because there's a lot more factors involved like resolution and original file encoding but the device is faster than using the twin cores.
No, it won't work with Handbrake, nor VisualHub for that matter. It acts as a plug-in (albeit hardware) for QT and any application that uses QT for export can utilise the turbo.264.
One other (for me big) advantage is that Elgatos own software for using the turbo.264 supports AppleScript and hence Automator.

QuickTime Pro 7 Export Failed qtKitErrorCatchAll (-49)

I'm trying to do some converting of Webex WRF recordings over to QuickTime for loading onto a Citrix GoToWebinar account. Process takes three passes and is as follows:
- WRF to WMV on Windows (that's all WebEx provides)
- WMW to MP4 on Windows (can't convert WMVs on a Mac for free)
- MP4 to MOV with QuickTime on a Mac for Citrix upload (have to use QuickTime Pro 7 because of output options)
The Citrix support .MOV format must be H.264, AAC, Hinted Streaming to upload properly. Some files have converted alright, but now I'm getting the error above in the subject.
Any help? Thanks
Eric

I had the exact same thing. And this error drove me crazy. And it occurred out of pure random. I found a solution which at least works for me:
Make sure "NotificationCenter" is "correctly" running.
Hope this fixes the issue for others as well.

Quicktime Pro: When Exporting for Web, how much does it reduce file size?

I'm considering purchasing Quicktime Pro so I can reduce the file size of Quicktime movies so they load quickly to be viewed on my website. Can anyone tell me how much I can expect to be able to reduce the size of a Quicktime file?

I will try some. 50-100 kB for a 4-color PDFs sounds high if any compression at all is used in the graphic. I would suggest that you look a bit at the graphics. They may not be "16-color" graphics (you may have used 4 colors, but the graphic storage would have to be 16 color, 256 color, or millions of colors and I suspect the storage is millions of colors that a lot of scans default to). You could use PhotoShop or simply IrfanView to check the properties of the colors of the images. That would be the first step I would suggest.
Once you have the colors set, then save them as TIFF to minimize loss in the graphic. TIFF has several options for compression and I really can't advise you there. Just select whatever is the default compression. I created a 8.5X11 image with 72dpi and 16 colors, getting a 55 kB file. The corresponding PDF was 60 kB. There is pixelization and such, but that is something for you to test.
Once you you have reasonable graphics, then consider the PDF. As I said, I ended up with a 60 kB PDF. A segment of the PDF is shown below as a JPeg:
When you put the files together, use Save As to finalize the PDF. Working on the graphics first is probably the best way to fix the issue, rather than dealing with the PDF directly. This allows you to clean up the PDFs and be sure that you have the level of colors (not millions, even if you only use 4) etc.

Quicktime Pro not exporting files correctly

Hi,
I'm trying to convert a .mov file using QT Pro 7.16 to either DVI, AVI, or MPEG4. The export process starts, but never moves from %0.
I'm running 32 bit Windows Vista on a Dell 8400 3.0 Ghz P4, 2 GB RAM, and 2 10k RPM SATA drives in a RAID0. I think i should have plenty of hardware to push the export, so maybe someting else is wrong?
Does anyone have any suggestions?

File dimensions could be one issue as exports to AVI using DVCPRO would become 720X480 (letterboxed or 16:9).
Movie to QuickTime Movie would allow you to keep the original dimensions but I don't know if the Windows version of Premiere allows those formats.
It may support the Animation codec (very fast compression) but I don't if it knows about H.264 Video.
I don't really have an answer as I don't use Premiere.

Exporting a .wmv in Quicktime Pro only exports first 30s?

I open a 2:30mn .mp4 movie (created in iMovie, compressed in Compressor) in QT Pro, and choose:
*Edit > Select All*, then
*File > Export*, and choose "Movie to Windows Media" & "Default Settings".
It works, but the resulting file is only the first 30 seconds of the movie. Sometimes 29 seconds. Sometimes 34 seconds.
Anyone knows how to export the whole movie as a .wmv?
Thanks!

I'm assuming that you have the flip4mac codec installed?
If so, you have the free version which will only permit the first 30 seconds to be exported. If you want more, you'll have to pay!
However visualhub also exports wmv, so I'd weigh up the differences between flip4mac pro and visualhub if you want to continue exporting wmv's.
From the flip4mac website: Trial download limitations:
In trial mode you can export ½ the duration of your source file up to 30 seconds. In addition, a watermark will be placed on any files that you import until you upgrade to Player Pro.

Quicktime Pro HDV export chunky blocks

Hi, I've edited HDV captured material in FCP and exported full res. Then, in Quicktime I open the .mov. It seems to contain chuncky blocks. When I close and open, the same happens, but not in the same places?
When I export the movie from QT 7.5.4 (25) it also shows these blocks, but they're now permanent. Anyone? I've found a similar discussion at Creative Cow: http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/162/868047

Just to follow up, after some more testing.
Here is a screenshot of what I am seeing. http://2ndmileproductions.com/downloads/Picture-1.jpg
The glitches happen on a 1080i file exported from FCP when viewing them in QT. BUT when I scrub back frame by frame using the arrow keys, no glitches. They dissappear, meaning they are not "embedded" in the file. If I view the same file in FCP, no glitches at all.
The screenshot is from taking the 1080i file from FCP and exporting from QT at a 720p. Scrubbing back reveals that the glitches are embedded in the file.
From the screen shot you can see that the glitches are overlaying 2-3 frames from the previous cut. It seems to happen 20-40 frames after the cut.
Playing the file back in VLC reveals that about the same time these glitches appear, the video stutters, but does not glitch.
If I down-convert the HDV file to an MPEG through Compressor, no glitches.
I hope this helps as this problem has been bugging me for a while now.

Quicktime pro wont export - just shuts down

Hi - been searching the web for this one, but no luck. My QT pro just shuts down when I want to export. For example I open a FLV file and it plays fine. I then go to export it and QT just shuts down. I can export to WEB but not export. I do have Perian installed - not sure that makes a difference. Also my QT version is 7.6.2
I read a post suggesting i move the flv.component file from QT library but can't find this file anywhere. Any help is appreciated, thanks

There are lots of malformed FLV files on the interweb. If QT crashes, you found one. Test it in FLV, you are likely to find it doesn't like it either, or Streamclip (as long as you have Perian). If it won't open or export from the latter then you don't have a lot of options. And since it isn't yours to edit then no harm done.

Why is my QuickTime Pro exporting image sequences in the wrong order?

I am making timelapse films and using QuickTime Pro to export the images as a movie file. I have all the images in a folder named numericaly. I go file>import image sequence click on the first image and import. The images are in the correct order in the source folder I have also checked the resource files under show movie properties and they are in the correct order there. I then export as a QuickTime movie file at 1080p H.264 the film is stepping and the frames are out of sequence in the eported movie file. Why is this? Has anyone come across this before?

Is there anything else I could try.
Not sure. I would likely test an x264 export of the image sequence from QT 7 Pro or MPEG Streamclip (or from HandBrake if your system is not configured with the x264 codec) and see if the result was any better. This is not a problem I run into very often and, even then, the files were sent to me with no real indication of how they were originally encoded.
Or do you know how I can analise the exported file?
Not really... but it would be nice to have a tool which indicated the current frame type and listed pointers to frames/stacks of frames used for rendering reference.

Quicktime Pro, preload and Director Que Points

Hi All,
I have just discovered that the latest version of quicktime
Pro (7x) does not have the prelaod option when exporting a movie.
If you have markers embedded in your quicktime movie that you want
to use as que points in Director you can no longer do this as you
MUST have the preload setting enabled in Quicktime Pro when
exporting the movie. Director will throw an error when you try to
import the quicktime file warning you that the file is not
preloaded and the que point will be disabled for that file.
Has anyone else upgraded to Quicktime Pro 7?
The only solution that I can find is to install Quicktime 6x
BUT I haven't got the installer and Apple do not have it on their
site, looks that it was money mis-spend when I upgraded to version
7.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks!
Andrew
See

for the apple snag.

I faced the same problem one month ago. At the end I decided
to use flash. It has the possibility to work with cue points in a
natural way. One solution I explored with Director was to do my own
cue points controls. Basically, I got a list of my cue points, I
used the old CoolEdit to define and export the list, then I checked
the time of the movie in a loop (exitFrame) and I compared the time
of the movie with the list of CP to trigger the events. But as I
told you, I decided to use Flash

Good luck

Fix for Quicktime Pro crashes on Windows XP 64bit

This is for anyone experiencing crashing with Quicktime Pro when exporting, crashing with HD quicktimes in Firefox and problems with Sorenson Squeeze related to Quicktime files.
You CAN NOT run quicktime in the default "Direct X" mode on Win64. To change this, go to "Edit>Preferences>Quicktime Preferences" and click on the "Advanced" tab. Set the "video" to "safe mode (GDI only)". This fixed any crashing I had with quicktime, quicktime in Firefox, quicktime pro exporting and even fixed my problems with Sorenson Squeeze. Apple should make a note of this to users downloading for Win64. This may actually be the same case for Vista but I'm not sure.

Do you have an nVidia GeForce 8x00 video card?
If so, this appears to be more of an issue w/ nVidia's XP drivers (32-bit OR 64-bit) and you should report it to nVidia too, as they have yet to acknowledge any issues even though MANY people have this problem.
Vista works fine, though, actually!
