QuickTime Pro...Finalcut Pro... compatibility...

I'm importing video set at a 1920x1080 60 field/s, an MP4 file, off a SANYO HPC-HD1000 video camera and am having issues with compatibility with the latest 7.5 quicktime update... I have been importing video through quicktime into final cut pro at a setting of 1280x720 30fps HR and it has worked fine. It is this "funky" setting on a consumer video camera that i am trying to make compatible with quiccktime so that i may import the footage into final cut pro.
I have been told that an earlier version of quicktime (EA: 7.2 or earlier) is compatible with this this 1920x1080 video format but my attempts have been unsuccessful. Does the new version "Quicktime Pro" have the attributes i am looking for that support a file of this nature? I have also tried third party programs such as "Visual Hub" and still have had no success. Any suggestions?

Gail,
Some people are running FCP 3, 4 and 4.5 on Tiger without problems, but there are a lot of users that tried it and couldn't get it to work correctly on their system.
FCP 5 is optimized for Tiger QT 7, older versions are not. Upgrade at your own risk.
My advice would be not to upgrade to Tiger unles you're planning to upgrade to FCP 5 as well. You can do a search on this forum for the past few months and see what I mean.

FCP 3.0 and QUICKTIME PRO - compatable?

I am running FCP 3.0 on a G5 under SYSTEM 10.3.5 and everything is stable.
Now if I upgrade to the NEW QUICKTIME PRO am I in for any problems?

If I remember correctly, FCP 3 ran fine under 10.3.9. However, FCP 3 will not run under 10.4 unless you do an upgrade install of 10.4 over 10.3 with FCP 3 already installed.
There has been enough gnashing of teeth and cries of pain from folks wanting to run FCP4.5 under 10.4/QT7, I shudder to think of the potential backward compatibility issues with FCP3.
To the OP, your best bet is to stay in 10.3 and QT 6 until you are ready to go to the current version of FCP.
Good luck,

Iphone 4 retina and Quicktime "pro" 7 not compatable? *** !

I am disgusted that apple would sell quicktime pro (7) and advertise that it works for the iphone when the iphone 4 has been out for a year now and QT7 does NOT support the retina display resolution (920 x 640). Only the much older lower resolutions are supported for the iphone 4. Also the h264 compressor apple uses is just terrible. Heck even Videora has a far better H264 compressor and its free !
Steve Jobs, you should be ashamed for STEALING my money!
In all honesty, Convert your mov files with Videora for free and they will look 10 x better than any quicktime "pro" version, do not ever purchase quicktime pro as it is a complete waste of your money and amounts to nothing more that a THEFT of your monies ! I should have gone with the reviews as most are clearly very negative on this old product but I didnt think apple could make something this terrible, hmmm, but they did.

I'm glad yer iPhone plays 720p just like mine but that is not the problem I am having. When you find out why qt pro 7 does NOT support exporting ( using the supplied iphone or h264 settings) the iPhone 4 retina resolution then please respond with the correct reason.
You are obviously using the built-in preset options and not custom settings. You are forgetting that Apple's primary purpose when creating pre-sets is to ensure compatibility. These options are programmed for multi-generation devices and, only support, the quality/settings that are compatible with the least capable device. As such, the TV preset is limited to 960x540 display resolution at 30/29.97 fps and a maximum video data rate of 5.0 Mbps. In a similar manner, the iPhone pre-set is limited to 1620 macroblocks/frame (usually a 720x480 or 720x576 max matrix) and 1.0 Mbps video data to maintain compatibility with all previous iPhone models. If you want to make the most of your device's particular capabilities, then either use custom settings or chose a different device pre-set whose output more closely matches what you want to use on your device if you want to use QT 7 Pro to perform your conversions. If you want to use a different converter, than, by all means, feel free to do so. However, since the source of your problem is in your work flow and not the product, I was merely attempting to point out the fact that your previous comments were unjustified.
As far as editing softwares and hardwares go I have everything from autodesk flame/ inferno down to pro and everything in between. Again please respond to my simple question only, why does qt7 not support the latest iPhone 4 higher retina display resolution? As opposed to older lower resolutions.
Let's hope you fully know how to take advantage of all of these hardware/software devices/applications. If you really feel Apple should support each device and generation of device with a separate entity pre-set as created and sold since being released, then contact Apple HERE and register your total dissatisfaction regarding each and every product not to your liking. You, of course, are entitled to your own opinions. Please extend the same courtesy to others.
Qt7 still ***** and is a total waste of money as people can do everything it does better and for free. Screw apple!
I might agree in some instances. For transcoding, I tend to prefer the X.264 codec with custom settings for more extensive analysis, better vector motion detection/rendering, removal of duplicated frames when applying detelecine, and a limited combined deinterlace/decomb filtering option. However, try aging, masking, layering, blending, picture-in-picture/picture-with-picture, and similar compositing options in a "free" utility.

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.

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!

Seems counter-intuitive to upgrade from QuickTime 10.3 to QuickTime 7 just to get to QuickTime Pro. Is there no QuickTime 10.3 Pro?

It seems counter-intuitive to upgrade from QuickTime 10.3 to QuickTime 7 just to get to QuickTime Pro. Am I missing something here? Is there no QuickTime 10.3 Pro?

QuickTime Pro is based on the QuickTime 7 code, and requires it to run. The old QuickTime was initially intended for movie and sound bites, such as you might find embedded in a Web page. It was not intended for handling the massive size and quantity of current movie and music formats, and Apple had to work the code in odd ways to get it to run the latest content. Not being ideal, Apple decided to re-write QuickTime from the ground up. It has kept QuickTime 7 and its supported features (ie, QuickTime Pro) for compatibility, but is moving foward with the next generation of QuickTime, called QuickTime X. So far this does not have a "Pro" version add-on, and Apple has not indicated it is developing one. For now, if you want advanced features you will need to use software like Final Cut Pro, or a third-party program, which make these routines available to you. There are also a number of third-party tools that do similar features, without interfacing with QuickTime at all.

Quicktime Pro not unlocked

I upgraded to Snow Leopard and have the latest version. This left me with two versions of Quicktime (7.6.3 and 10.0) which I have in the Applications folder. I then installed Logic Studio and, according to the manual, expected the installation process to unlock the multimedia capabilities of Quicktime Pro but I do not see the Pro version anywhere. Subsequent updating to Logic pro 9.1.0 (32 bit) made no difference.
Is this a compatibility problem with Snow Leopard or should I have left Quicktime 7 in the Utilities folder? Any ideas on how I can unlock the Pro features easily - or do I need to reinstall from scratch?
Any help appreciated, thanks

Ahh, don't even get me started on the Quicktime debacle with SL...
If you already had a QT pro key, you should still have it authorised. But you'll never 'see' any of the pro features (for now) in the new standard QT player that launches, even if you have them. You really do have to dig down into the utilities folder and use the old QT7 app. Or are you saying that even when you do launch that app, you still have the 'pro' features blocked?
In my case, I already had a key for QT pro, so it still all just works (albeit more clumsily) now. I wasn't aware that you are supposed have all the pro features unblocked as part of having purchased Logic. If this is the case, you should prob just call Apple support and tell them what happened. Maybe if you give them proof of purchase, a serial number or something, they'll give you an unlock key to sort out the problem.
Basically it's all because they are currently migrating all the QT code to a brand new framework, which currently is pretty bare. So they left QT7 with all the pro features behind as a courtesy, before the new Quicktime X is more feature-rich. Arstechnica did a very detailed explanation of this if you want to read more. In the meantime, it's a fairly annoying compromise situation.

Quicktime Pro registration code

Awhile back I purchased the quicktime pro registration code, installed it and it worked fine. With the latest release of Quicktime I found I could no longer play my earlier .mov files so I uninstalled the that version of QT but took care to copy down and double check my quicktime pro registration code before I did (the warning screen was a big help there).
I installed Quicktime 6.5.2 and now I can't put the registration code in for QT Pro. I get the message that my registration code and registered to aren't right. I have tried it with and without caps and the dashes. I have tried only my first name or last and reversed the order. I even tryed my itunes ID as the registered to but nothing works.
Is it possible that I am using a version of QT that predates my registration code? I have had QT pro for at least 6 months.
If they fixed the problems with the latest release of QT I would try that but I won't bother until it works correctly. Contacting Apple is tricky. They don't seem to want to interface with customers in any way shape or form. Its all FAQ and discussion groups.
Anyone have to reinput registration codes on QT that could offer me some insight?
Dell Dimension 8250 Windows XP

Pro keys have always worked in any release of the version for which you purchased it. Also, you should have backward compatibility with any earlier formats. I have been using QT since version 2.5 and later versions have always played formats introduced in earlier versions.
In short, there is something about your system (a corrupt file or something) that is interferring with QT. You may need to completely purge yoiur system of all parts of earlier installations of QT and staart over. Being primarily a Mac person I can't tell you how to do that. But you seem to need to do that, as these issues of non-compatibility with earlier formats or Keys are just not correct. If that were a general problem for the Windows version I am sure a large number of people would have posted the problem here in the Windows forum.

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.

QuickTime Pro 7.1.3 stopped launching

G4 iBook, 1.24ghz, OSX Tiger 10.4.11, QuickTime Pro 7.1.3
Last night, QuickTime Player was working; this morning, it isn't. I wish I could add more to this, but I'm really stumped. It really is mysterious. iTunes works. MPEG Streamclip will load and play MPEG4's OK. MPEG4's play from inside Firefox. VLC Media Player tries to launch but stalls and I have to force quit. I haven't tried FinalCut Pro yet.
Tried simply restarting; didn't help. Trashing the QuickTime .plist file didn't work either.

I found this posting on the boards and it DID solve my QuickTime problem. You may wish to try it. I did not need to restart my computer. I only needed to reload Flash after I made the recommended change and restart my browser. The posting was:

I figured it out...you will need to open quicktime.
-go to quicktime preferences.
-go to the browser menu
-on the advanced settings
-click on MIME settings
-the Miscellaneous file settings needs to be unchecked.
restart your computer.

QuickTime Pro download...

For not real reason other than I can, I just ordered QuickTime Pro for Mac. I'm running Mavericks with the latest updates. I signed into the QT order page, paid for the software, received an email with the order info, but no indication as to how to complete the download order.
I expected this to be an immediate download. Should I have received the download immediately or do I have to wait several hours/days before the download is available?
I'm out $30, but no QuickTime Pro. Seems strange to me. I understand if it were to be a DVD mailed to me, but it clearly states this is an electronic order.
Anyone else experience this?

To be quite frank, I don't understand much of the above comments. So I guess I'll just punt. The ONLY reason I got QT Pro was that I can't play any of the TV shows that I've paid for and downloaded from iTunes. I never had any trouble until I upgraded to Mavericks. When I try to pay one of these videos, I get a popup saying I need some add on QT component and get directed to a page with maybe 10 of these codex options.
While I agree that Mavericks is a disaster as far as QT and QL is concerned, I fail to understand why a person would purchase a Pro key without really reading the description of its purpose. It clearly states that its primary use is for the recording of A/V via built-in devices, FireWire camcorders, microphones, etc.; editing of file content; and the conversion of file types/file compression formats. Nowhere does it even hint that QT 7 Pro adds any new codec components (which it doesn't) or allow you to view any more videos natively than the QT 7 player alone does. What it does do, however, is allow you to manually add third party codec components supporting video content not supported natively by QT and/or access QT "Pro" video codec components installed along with/by professional video editor applications. As Deb described, the "open" nature of the QT 7 app interface allows the user to modify his or her system's codec component configuration to support older, third-party, non-QT file/compression formats.
I've tried 2 or 3 on the list and my videos still won't play with QT. Definitely not user friendly.
While Deb's modifications offer compatibility with most content users are likely come across/download, it does not guarentee 100% compatibility with all files nor does it take into account specialty codecs supplied by what seems to amount to "sponsored" components on the "goto" web page you referenced. In fact, I tend to consider it somewhat irresponsible to arbitrarily add codecs at random just to perform "trial and error" playback tests. The correct and logical approach here would be to downoal a free media utility that examines the file content and tells you which specific codecs were used to create the file so you can then locate, download, and install just the codec component(s) required for QT 7 playback if available for your system.
Since I can watch these videos with my iPad, it's not a big deal if I can't access them with my MBA.
This is disturbing. If you are using default IOS software to view the files, then the files would like be be MPEG-4 or MPEG-4 AVC video with AAC audio which should be compatible with all QT based apps on your computer even under the Mavericks OS. If they are, then it sounds like you either have a problem with your system insallation or your media sharing workflow between iPad and computer or source files and computer.
I guess that's the reason they call it the PRO edition, you have to be a Pro to even understand the options.
Hardly. While the QT 7 "Pro" editing features are currently not given as much attention or credit as I might expect, they are rather extensive for such a cheap utility and offer capabilities normally only available using software like the FCP suite of apps costing more than a thousand dollars. Those familiar with its use can do anything from creating a video Christmas card to applying a B-movie "Grindhouse"-like (scratched and aged film) filter affect to a movie should they desire to do so.

Upgrade quicktime pro

i would really like to upgrade to quicktime 7.1.3 in order to get its latest features such as the H.264 converter. problem is that i have quicktime pro, and i recall reading about loosing the registration key when it is upgraded.
is there anyway of upgarding without loosing the reg key?
any comments would be greatly appreciated.
cheers

Sorry, from the above statement had assumed your were upgrading from QT Pro 6. However, your OS identification implies you were most likely referring to a previous version of QT Pro 7 and gaining "LC" iPod compatibility for H.264.

I used to shoot video in my Powershot S3 IS (MVI_.AVI) and load it into iPhoto, I used quicktime pro so I could convert it for emailing to family members. That was when I was running Leopard now with Mt. Lion nothing works. Videos do not open at all?

I used to shoot video in my Powershot S3 IS (Format MVI_.AVI) and load them into iPhoto, I used quicktime pro so I could convert for emailing to family members. That was when I was running Leopard now with Mt. Lion nothing works. Videos do not open at all. Any simple suggestions, I am not real keen on iMovie Productions and not real certain how they compress for emailing attachments. Something simple here that I am missing? Thanks so much. I am a grandpa trying to share with family members far away (quickly & simply).

I am surprised that Apple did not build a converter into Mt. Lion.
Apple does have a converter built into Mountain Lion. It is call "Quicktime." However, in order to use this converter, you must first make sure the compression formats are playback compatible with QT. Basically, there are three levels of QT compatibility. The lowest is "Playback." These file can be played by QT but may not be conversion or edit compatible with QT. The second level is QT "Conversion" compatible. These files are playback compatible and can be converted to other compression formats using QT. "Edit" compatible media files are "Fully" compatible with QT since the can be played, converted and/or edited by QT. The main problem here is that AVI is a "legacy" file format that has not been officially supported by Microsoft for more than 11 years when it was replaced by Windows Media multimedia file/compression formats. Many of the original compression formats used in AVI files have never been transcoded for the Mac platform, use beyond system 9, or use beyond PPC platforms. In addition, some commonly used AVI codecs are proprietary or use non-standard (hybrid) profile and level combinations. In short, there is little wonder that Apple has been distancing itself from this outdated file type as it re-writes and upgrades its own QT structure to support more standardized, more scalable, more modern high definition file types and compression formats. It is really unfortunate that users continue to use this outmoded file type simply because it is freely available, easy to use, or they are simply too lazy to move on to a more modern or more efficient file types and/or compression formats.
I tested Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate for the Mac, which seems to be the "state of the art". I may be purchasing a new camera which might create a whole new set of variables. This program seems to cover all bases and is great for novices.
There are many third-party apps available if you wish to search for them. Many are even available in the App Store. Most do their job well and it is usually a matter of personal user preference as to which is best.
HandBrake seems more suited to folks with more experience and knowledge.
I mentioned Handbrake primarily because it is free and easy to use when you employ the included conversion presets options. (The TV options can normally be used for almost any situation depending on the source file and output requirements.) It is also excellent for more experienced users, but has a somewhat limited choice of output options as it does not access the user's system QT codec component configuration.

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.

Unable to use 'copy' feature with registered version of quicktime pro.

Hi.
I have a registered version of Quicktime pro (7.1.6), and i am unable to use the copy feature. I captured several videos from work using a windows box and an application whose name escapes me at the moment. Due to the windows app being garbage, i was only able to capture in MPEG1 format (MPEG2 caused the app to crash, of course). I have brought the files home and am now unable to copy selections of it for exporting into smaller files. I can highlight lengths of the video (no audio, just video) but the 'copy' feature is grayed out still. Any ideas on what is causing this? The video format is as follows:
MPEG1 Muxed, 640 x 480
FPS: 29.97
Data rate: 4066.42 kbits/sec
I'm running 10.3.9, but have also had no success on a 10.4 macmini, so the OS doesn't seem to be the issue.
I'm trying to get this video into imovie, but since it's over 600 megs, imovie cops out after a few hours and says it can't import it.
Help?

Not all multiplexed videos come with AC3. They don't have to have audio in the first place. Some of them come with Linear PCM, which is the case for iDVD's VOB files, and MP2. If a multiplexed video is equipped with AC3, you are right, and the resulting modified sub-clip won't contain audio. But if it's Linear PCM or MP2, the edited sub-clip will contain audio.
I'm finished with this case.
