[quicktime pro] encode

Hello,
I try to encode a video in mp4 isma. Next I have to play this video with another player (osmo4 gpac). There's no problem with a little resolution of the image (QCIF 176x144) but when I choose CIF 352x288, I can't play the video correctly (good with quicktime but not with osmo)
Does somebody can help me ?
Thks

yes me, perseverence is the secret...
and maybe courses of english to obtain more responses to my topic !
hehe*

  • Trying to encode using QuickTime Pro

    I am trying to encode my DV-AVI files to h.264 with quicktime pro. So i go into export and nothing happens, why? It just resets itself every time! Someone please walk me through this...
    thanks

    I did the copy and paste and also re-typed. neither seems to work!
    Any other suggestions?
    I also re-downloaded the latest version of the Quicktime v 7 player.

  • Encode DV to H.264 for iPod with Quicktime Pro - iPod won't play file

    Hello,
    I have been trying to encode Microsoft DV or Pinnacle DV AVIs into MPEG4 (H.264) for iPod, BUT the resulting files do NOT play in an iPod!?
    I use Quicktime Pro for Windows (v7.1) and use the Apple recommended settings, here are the exact settings I have tried and failed in an iPod;
    VIDEO: H.264 at 200kbps, Baseline Profile, 25fps, Auto Key Frames, 320x240 or 640x480, Multipass Best quality encoding.
    AUDIO: AAC Audio at 96kbps, 24kHz sampling freq, Stereo.
    I'm actually doing it for a client and they cannot play the file, they apparently have to 'convert' my file in their MAC based iTunes for it to work.
    Anyhow can anyone please give me an idea if I am doing something wrong?

  • Encoding with an Alpha Channel Using Quicktime Pro

    I am pulling my hair out trying to encode a green screen video that will play on a website so the website shows through the transparent alpha channel.  Problem is when I encode to .flv or .mp4 the alpha channel is never retained even when I check "encode alpha channel" in the .flv export setting window.  I have downloaded a trial version of Sorenson Squeeze and even that couldn't retain the alpha channel.
    The video I am using was exported out of Final Cut Pro 7 using Quicktime Conversion using the Animation Million of Colors PLUS codec and when I test that it does indeed have a transparent alpha channel so something is happening when Quicktime Pro is encoding it.
    Can anyone recommend a way to export a .mp4 or .flv with the alpha channel?
    Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to give.
    Benjamin Jones

    You can also export a RGB video (without alfa) with any codec, and a second pass with obly alpha - it depends if you need that as a final export (then use codec than can export alfa) or intermediate format (then you can use image sequence or 2 pass video).

  • Quicktime Pro edits like "cut" lossless? No re-encoding, re-compression...?

    Hi,
    Does importing, for example, a Motion JPEG file into Quicktime Pro to remove a segment in the middle, or cut off material from the ends, leave all original settings (compression, quality, etc.) intact?
    Or might it change settings to match those in Quicktime Preferences or re-encode in some way?
    From playing with the app:
    It looked to me that "Save" only changes how the file is played, skipping the "cut" segments, as the file size is the same.
    "Save-as a self contained movie" appears to actually remove the cut material as file size decreases. No mention is made of settings.
    Export seems to re-encode etc., as many options are presented - and the original format in the example, Motion-JPEG, is not even one of them.
    Thanks.

    Does importing, for example, a Motion JPEG file into Quicktime Pro to remove a segment in the middle, or cut off material from the ends, leave all original settings (compression, quality, etc.) intact?
    Yes. Even the file container remains unchanged.
    Or might it change settings to match those in Quicktime Preferences or re-encode in some way?
    No, it doesn't. The only things than may change might be the Inspector window statistics. For instance, if you remove a clip segment containing dark, low-complexity scenecs, the average video data rate may be higher because you deleted a segment containing extremely low video data rates.
    It looked to me that "Save" only changes how the file is played, skipping the "cut" segments, as the file size is the same.
    This is essentially true. Basically, the blocks of data are just "re-linked" to "skip" the unwanted segment. The file container size is not changed and the "skipped" data remains essentially present but no longer accessible.
    "Save-as a self contained movie" appears to actually remove the cut material as file size decreases. No mention is made of settings.
    In this case, an entirely new MOV (generic QT) file container is created and the "retined" data is "copied" from the original file to the new one. The file is smaller because the "skipped" data is not copied. Original compression formats (i.e., a copy of the very same data) is contained in the new file. A "Reference" file does something similar. However, it does not actually copy the actual data from one file to the new file. Instead, it mearly copies pointers to the original data allowing you to create one or more playback variations of the original file. This can be a handy expedient when creating "what if" versions of the same master file since the references files are much smaller than the original file. The only thing you have to remember is that the original file cannot be deleted since the "reference" file only contains instructions as to how the original file is to be played back in some "modified" manner.
    Export seems to re-encode etc., as many options are presented - and the original format in the example, Motion-JPEG, is not even one of them.
    Correct. In this case, the original data is re-compressed as a new file and in a new container. Remember, however, that re-compressing data does not enhance or improve quality since it can't add or create details lost during previous compression. It can, however, reduce further loss of details/quality by selectively using a low compression format which retains all/most of the detail/quality in the source file. This is often done where a user wants to edit highly compressed data which cannot be edited natively in the original compression format otherwise.

  • Quicktime Pro .wav to .aac encoding

    Hi,
    I am pretty sure that I was able to do this before. For some reason I can not import a .wav and encode it to an .mp3 or an .aac. I have the latest version of Quicktime Pro on Windows Vista
    Please help. Thanks

    Drop the .wav file into your iTunes Library. Use the preferences and the Advanced menu to create an AAC or MP3 version.

  • Can not encode / export videos in quicktime Pro

    I have been unable to ever sucessfuly export a video with quicktime pro on my new laptop I got this past July right from the start.
    When ever I start exporting a video into the h.264 or other formats the progress will start off at 8% and about 5 minutes later will on average get as far as 21%. But that is as far as I can get. At that time quicktime terminates. I get a Message from the Visual C++ Library saying that QuickTimePlayer.exe has encountered a buffer overun and its internal state has become currupted and must be terminated. When you click OK quicktime Is closed out, and the file you were attempting to create is left on your disk with a file size of 0 bytes.
    This is with the latest version of quicktime.
    My system spects are
    CPU: AMD Athlon X2 4800+
    Memory: 2 GB
    OS: Windows XP Professional SP2
    Does anyone know what is causing the buffer overrun and how I can fix it or get past this problem. Uninstalling and Reinstalling quicktime does not fix the issue and it has been happening since day one like I said.
    I typed out the whole buffer overrun error when It occured about 10 minutes ago here trying to post this thread, however I should of known better then leaving the buffer overrun errors open and quicktime ideling with the termination message. Windows Decided to BSOD on my just as I was getting ready to post this message=\

    QuickTime is not supported on the 64-bit version of Windows (look here for the official statement), so if that's what you have (as I presume you do from the processor description), it may well not work correctly. Some people have managed to get it working (at least tolerably), but from what I've read, a recent security update from Microsoft has caused a lot of problems. You might try rolling back recent Windows updates and see if you can get things working, but it may just not work for you.

  • Can anyone tell me if Quicktime Pro retains aspect ratio once a video is rotated?

    I'm reluctant to purchase Quicktime Pro until I know the answer to this question and Apple Support doesn't seem to have anyway to ask, so I thought I'd try this group.
    I took some videos with my iPhone (the long way), and need to be able to rotate them and convert them to avi files.  I understand that Quicktime Pro can do the rotation and conversion, but I saw one review that said the aspect ratio is not retained, i.e. the video comes out flattend (wider).
    Can anyone tell me if this is still true with QT Pro, or if there are other solutions for resolving this outside of QT Pro??  I have tried a number of other converters, and found one that rotates, but aspect ratio not retained.
    Thanks in advance for any help shared!!!

    This may or may not depend on your specific work flow. Many "settings' saved to the original file by QT 7 Pro are merely "playback instructions" which may or may not play correctly in other media players while these same settings do work properly when saved/converted to a new file container. In addition, not being a Windows user, I don't know if there are are any significant differences between the Mac and Windows versions of QT 7. In any case, I just took a short sample clip, stored it on my hard drive via Aperture 3, opened the file in QT 7 Pro, rotated the clip in QT 7 Pro, and used the "Save As..." command to store the modified file. This modified file now plays correctly in current versions of the QT 7, MPEG Streamclip, and VLC media players. Have uploaded a copy of this file so you can download it, test playback in various players you normally use, and/or test convert it to your specific AVI audio and video compression formats.

    Can anyone tell me if this is still true with QT Pro, or if there are other solutions for resolving this outside of QT Pro??  I have tried a number of other converters, and found one that rotates, but aspect ratio not retained.
    As indicated above, the file plays correctly for me in various media players and all media "Inspector" windows, including other third party media information utilities, confirm the correct dimensions and aspect ratio as displayed. As to AVI conversion, I test converted the uploaded file to AVI (DivX5/MP3) at original dimensions using VisualHub. (Also tried the VideoMonkey AVI encode but it limited the source 720p file to a 720x480 output and I did not know if you were agreeable to such a restriction.) Suggest you run similar tests with your preferred Windows converters to confirm/refute results on your system.

  • Video files exported with QuickTime Pro 7.2 can't be transferred to iPod

    If I use the default Export to iPod export choice in QuickTime Pro 7.2 to export video files and add them to my iTunes 7.3 library, when I try to sync them to my 5th generation iPod with video (November, 2005), I just get the "can't be played on this iPod" message. I can create, transfer, and play video files on my iPod if I create them a different way (by using iSquint, ffmpegX, or No Frills DVD2iPod, for example). Exporting to mpeg4 using h.264 results in the same problem, even though I've used settings I know worked before. The export to iPod export choice does not offer any customization of settings. Although this problem is new, I can't be sure the immediately previous version of QuickTime Pro didn't also have the problem, but I know I have successfully used QuickTime 7 to create videos that could be transferred and played on my iPod in the past. How can I use QuickTime Pro 7.2 to create video files that will be compatible with my iPod? Thanks.
      Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    I can also verify this (QT Pro 7.2 exporting to .mp4 not compatible
    with video iPod [firmware 1.2.1 on both 5G/5.5G units]).
    This results in the unusual situation where custom H.264 output
    is operable on the iPhone but not the iPod.
    Example: your iPhone should play
    http://homepage.mac.com/retiarius/sample.elements.mp4
    but it won't transfer to a video iPod.
    Yes, the workaround is to 'export for iPod' or do the conversion
    within 'iTunes', but this in many circumstances will generate
    larger files.
    The closest description of this situation is:
    http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2006-September/015930.html
    Perhaps Apple will release a video iPod firmware update soon
    to get the 'uuid' atoms and whatever watermarking they are
    using these days straightened out.
    I'm surprised this hasn't been noticed more by video podcasters
    who dutifully use Apple's own QT Pro encoding tool to optimize
    filesizes via the tunable H.264/.mp4 codec settings.

  • 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.

  • How to go from VOBs into QuickTime Pro to Apple TV ?

    How can I get a bunch of VOB files from a DVD so that I can use QuickTime Pro to convert to Apple TV ?
    I have played for weeks with QuickTime Pro, MediaFork, HandBrake, MPEG StreamClip, VisualHub, iSquint, ffmpegX, Mac the Ripper, and more, and compared outputs. I have tried all kinds of bit rates, 1 and 2 pass, etc. In the end, I personally like the QuickTime Pro conversions best, and I find that I have had very few problems with QuickTime Pro.
    I want to use QuickTime Pro to convert a few of my DVD for Apple TV. With Quicktime Pro I can read a single VOB file and convert it but I don't get sound or all the VOB files that I need. How can I quickly, without a lengthy conversion, pull all the VOB files from a DVD so that I can convert them to Apple TV with QuickTime Pro ?

    1) Pull the information off the DVD with NO video/audio conversion.This is not possible -- at least not possible to do without at least converting the AC3 Audio first. And, then it will only be possible if you have the QT MPEG-2 component installed. You appear to be operating under the misguided assumption that QT Pro -- a temporally synchronized, "frame-ro-frame" player/converter asset -- will work on a spatially synchronized file containing a single data stream of video data blocks interspersed with blocks of audio data. It won't. There are basically only two approaches here. Both require the use of an intermediate file format. (I.e., a conversion is required.):
    1) The first approach is to use an application like MPEG Streamclip to convert your VOBs (both audio and video) to a less compressed format and/or editable format like "animation/PCM" or the "DV" format. However, since DV is an exacting specification which may change the frame rate and/or physical dimensions of your movies, I'd recommend "animation/PCM" here. This approach allows audio and video to be converted by QT Pro during a single conversion which usually eliminates the likelihood of audio and video going "out of sync."
    2) The other approach requires you to use a third-party application (like MPEG Streamclip) to demux your VOBs to associated elementary MPEG-2 (M2V) and PCM (AIFF) files which QT Pro can handle either individually (may allow de-synchronization) or as a "resourced" pair (best approach) of files. In this case the M2V file contains the original, unconverted MPEG-2 data and the AIFF contains a stereo "mix-down" of the AC3 audio.
    Recommend you try the second option here. Once the paired files are created, (without moving them) open the M2V in QT Pro by double-clicking it. This should open M2V which, in turn, references the AIFF file as a resource. (Not moving the files is to ensure the the resource path does not become broken.) In any case, you can now process the opened file(s) in QT Pro using the "Movie to TV" export option. Be advised that neither MPEG Streamclip nor QT Pro allow "easy" cropping of the video using this workflow. In addition, if you plan to customize the dimensions of a 16:9 "widescreen" 640 x 360 file to 720 x 405 or 854 x 480 for encoding, the dimensions must be changed in before selecting the export option.

  • Customising import of DV tapes using Quicktime Pro

    Hi all,
    I am trying to import a lot of DV tapes onto my Mac (and some other analogue stuffe that I route through the camcorder so it ends up in DV even if it originated from VHS), the ultimate aim is to have the videos available within iTunes so I can stream them to my Apple TV 2 after some minimal editing (cutting out bad bits mainly).
    I have tried to import via iMovie, but it has the following drawbacks: Huge file sizes, spends ages creating thumbnails, and then is really really slow to encode into H.264 compared to something like Handbrake.
    I am not *too* fussed about final image quality, I am more concerned with being able to complete the job without spending too much time.  What I want to do is encode into H.264 during the import, and then quickly be able to cut out what I don't want, and save into iTunes.  Quicktime Pro is the closest I have found, but it seems to have the following limitations:  Very limited selection of encoders and sizes without any ability to customise means I can't choose an appropriate quality level - the best is only 640x480, with no info on bitrates etc.  This should be fine for my analogue sources, but potentially no good for some stuff in genuine DV format.  Also, there seems to be a limit on how long it will record for, which doesn't make a lot of sense as it's capping out on videos less than 200Mb in size leaving me with extra steps to combine the individual videos into a larger one (References movies are quick to make, but won't stream to the Apple TV 2)
    Is there a way to customise these settings to ammend the import settings and increase the maximise size, either unofficially or not?
    Many thanks for yout time.

    In the interest of ripping this stuff with the least complexity possible I was wanting to use QTP, but it seems that using the "best" preset with a widescreen DV input provides a file that is only 640x360 encoded at 96kbps, which is a lot smaller than the input native and isn't really good enough for me sadly.
    The stated data rate looks more like an audio data rate that a video or video + audio data rate. Since the preset must be compatible with both NTSC and PAL "standards," it appears Apple programmers lower, more universal settings for greater device compatibility.
    I can select Device Native, but that would get me back into massive DV files again.  Not sure if this would be better than using the Vidi Firewire Capture would be better or not than this setting?
    The basic rule of thumb here is "you can never have enough hard drive space." I currently have 25 TBs in external hard drive space connected to my main iMac for recreational/non-professional use. And, while you may consider DV data rates/files to be massive, HDV data rates/files would quadruple yours and some Apple Animation data rates/files could easily quadruple the HDV data rates/files. As to the question of using Vidi, if you are going to capture your files as DV content and don't want to use iMovie or other video editor application, then Vidi would be the utility to use.
    Either way, at a couple of hours long the timeline within QTP becomes too "small" to be able to select bits to cut with any accuracy as it is not zoomable unlike iMovie, but putting them in iMovie would then start with the old thumbnailing again...
    The QT 7 Pro Player "time line" is zoomable to some degree. This "zoom" capability is related to the size of the player. If you expand the size of the player to fill your screen as much as possible, you can "scrub" the playhead in smaller relative increments. Basically you should start your edits by expanding the player as large as your display allows and scrub the playhead to the rough area of your edit and then refine the position of the playhead using the fast play and jog controls in the A/V pallet and finally use the left/right arrow keys to select the exact frame you wish to edit. With some practice, you should find this work flow to be fairly quick if/when you know what and how you wish to edit the file.
    As an example, a 1 hour 58 minute 23 second and 15 frame 640x360 file displayed at its default size can scrub the playhead in approximately 15 second increments. If I expand the player to its maximum dimensions on my monitor, the "scrub" increment is reduced to about 4 second with fast play and/or jog able to refine the playhead location to within a few frames of where I want to be.
    What I was doing to remove the bits I don't want in iMovie was to create a project, include the bits I want, then delete the events using the option to only remove unused elements.  This is a yet further step which takes a long time, but then gives me chunks of files I can queue in handbrake and then stitch back together using QTP.
    Most strategies fall into either a "subtractive" or and "additive" work flow. I normally make "rough cuts" in the first pass and place the results in an folder/bin for further refining later. Once I have everything sorted and trimmed, I then merge/join the DV clips to create a single file which is then converted all at once to the target compression format or, in frequent instance, to several different compression formats or variations dependent on target use—burning to DVD, burning to BD, TV viewing, posting to the internet, etc.
    I just tried a native capture with QTP, and it gives me the following video settings:
    DV, 720 x 576 (1024 x 576), Millions
    16-bit Integer (Little Endian), 4.0 (L R _ _), 32.000 kHz
    1024 x 576 pixels (Actual)
    If I encode this with Handbrake using the Apple Universal I get:
    H.264, 720 x 592, Millions
    AAC, 2 channels, 32000 Hz
    1033 x 592 pixels
    I would normally encode the file using the source file standard. In my case that would the NTSC 720x480 (853X480) equivalent of your PAL 720x576 (1024x576) anamorphic DV import. Would also prefer the AAC audio track be encoded using a 48,0 KHz sampling rate at 160 Kbps since my DV audio is set for 16-bit/48.0 KHz. (I also include an DD5.1 passthrough at 448 or 640 Kbps if available.) You can create and save your own custom resets which is what I use for HandBrake conversions specifically targeting the TV2 device and which include additional analysis/motion prediction settings.
    So it looks like getting QTP to encode into H.264 just won't do it well enough, even though it should be able to go better without extending beyond the limits of the source
    If you are referring to the conversion of DV source files to H.264, then use the "Movie to MPEG-4" or "Movie to Quicktime" export option to enter your own custom target settings. However, nether of these export potions offer the same ease for setting up custom anamorphic encodes for custom dimensions as HandBrake does. (I personally prefer using HandBrake here.)
    I think the size limit was CPU bound with it not keeping up with the input fast enough to real-time encode and thus stopping.  It's not done it since.
    That may well be the case. My old G5 processed files in handBrake at 4 to 6 time "real time." My MacBook Pro converts files in roughly "real time" using my custom HandBrake presets. On my new iMac the default TV2 HandBrake preset process at about 180 fps and at 70-90 fps using an even higher quality custom preset I just added. As you can see, the different CPUs involved cam make quite a difference in conversion speed.

  • Quicktime Pro to Media Player?

    Does anyone know if Quicktime Pro will convert my Quicktime creations to play on Windows Media Player? I'm the only Mac user in the building and can't get these people to download Quicktime for Windows(that would be too easy of a solution). / joe
    iMac G4   Mac OS X (10.4.2)   iPod Video

    QT Pro cannot by itself do such conversion to .wmv format but plug-ins are available here for the export:
    http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv_upgrades.htm
    The PC version (but not the Mac version) of WMP will also play avi and mpeg-1 files if you are able to do those conversions. QT Pro as is can convert to avi files with Cinepak encoding but you may not be very happy with the results.

  • Quicktime Pro 1080p codec for apple tv?

    Anyone know if there's a Quicktime Pro codec yet that will take original 1080p content (like home movies shot on a 1080p camera) and encode it to M4V for Apple TV at 1080p?  I think the "Export to Apple TV" in QTP-7 still encodes to 1280x720 doesn't it?
    Thanks!!

    Although QTKirk has provided the most generic answer that should provide useable file, here are some additional details:
    I think the "Export to Apple TV" in QTP-7 still encodes to 1280x720 doesn't it?
    Unfortunately, this is true. The current TV preset creates files targeted for use on multiple TV models which limits the maximum resolution available.
    Anyone know if there's a Quicktime Pro codec yet that will take original 1080p content (like home movies shot on a 1080p camera) and encode it to M4V for Apple TV at 1080p?
    Unfortunately, the only QT 7 Pro option that allowed the creation of a 1080 H.264/AAC M4V file was the old "Movie to H.264" option which was replaced by the current mobile device specific presets. You can, of cource create a 1080 H.264/AAC MOV file using the "Movie to QuickTime Movie" method described by QTKirk or create a 1080 H.264/AAC MP4 file using the "Movie to MPEG-4" option and then either change the file extension manually (works with most apps that don't really check the file container type) or actually remux the data to a real M4V file container.
    On the other hand, there are other, non-QT 7 Pro options available. I personally prefer the free HandBrake option here. It has separate presets for TV (720p24, 540p30), TV2 (720p30), and TV3 (1080p30) options available if you prefer that route or allows advanced customization to create your own preferred preset to directly create an anamorphic or non-anamorphic 1080p H.264/AAC M4V file. What you shpould actually be asking yourself here is not ifthe there is a work flow that can make your 1080 content but what are the actual goals of the work flow you want to use. For instance, are you saying "I want to create the best, highest quality 1080p non-anamorphic file I can and don't care how large the file is or how many hours it takes to make the conversion?" or are you saying "I will accept a high quality, anamorphic file that is playback efficient in terms of file space and streaming requirements and requires only a moderate investment in time for the conversion?" or something in-between?

  • 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!
