Quicktime Pro for Windows crashes after flattening file

I'm running QuickTime Pro 7.7.1 for Windows. A few weeks ago, I opened an M4V file, cut out some segments, and invoked "Save As" a quicktime .MOV file. Given the option to save as a "reference" movie or a "self contained" movie, I chose "reference" movie. Said "reference" movie plays exactly as I intended, as long as the original M4V file is present. Today I wanted to eliminate that requirement, so I opened the reference movie and saved it again to a new .MOV file, this time choosing the "self contained" option. A "flattening movie" dialog appeared, and when it got to 100%, Quicktime crashed!
I tried the same experiment, one running Windows XP Pro and one running Windows 7 Pro, and got the same result each time. What can I do now?

I haven't [yet] tried it with other M4V files, but I will and get back to you.
BTW, after it crashed, I restarted QuickTime and opened the newly-created "self contained" movie and it seemed to play OK, So despite the inconvenience of having to restart, the crash didn't seem to affect the end product of my work.

How do I get Quicktime Pro for Windows to save audio files?

No matter what I do QTP for Windows only saves .mov files. I am trying to create a new audio recording but the only file type I can save is movies. I bought this product specifically to try and migrate old cassette music to itunes. Any clues as to how I should go about it?

Have you tried Audio Capture software? This is dead easy on a Mac, plug it in and use something like SoundFlower (free) or Audio Hijack Pro to grab the sound.
If you have registered QT Pro you should get:
Menu > File > Export (Options): a wide range of formats
May I ask why you are doing this? Unless the tape version is unique, you should avoid recording from old tape as it is the worst of all worlds. The quality is bad and changing it to digital is not going to make it better even with a lot of editing.
Just bite the bullet and get CDs (which you can easily save to digital from iTunes) or buy the digital version directly. That way is much less painful and you have something you may actually want to listen to.

Quicktime Pro for Windows crashes when resizing

Hi guys, When I bring still photos in to make an animation movie, the quicktime screen and photos are huge, impossible to view this way
I have tried resizing option but it just drops out after a while. Can anyone help? Kind regards, Tess

Resize the images before importing them. 800X600 is a good starting point.

Quicktime Pro for Windows

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

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

How to transfer Quicktime Pro for windows to mac?

My step-father recently purchased quicktime pro for windows. Oddly enough he received his new iMac about a week later. While trying to activate Quicktime Pro on his mac he realized that pro purchased for windows will only work on windows. Is there anyway to transfer the purchase to mac?

Sorry, you (he) have to buy a separate license for QT Pro for Mac.

Quicktime Pro for Windows Tutor

Can anyone steer me to a site that has some basic instructions on how to use the various fuctions of QT Pro (for Windows). I'll spent several hours today googling for this type of info and haven't found too much. I know this is a forum for prople having specific problems with QTP, and I have read dozens of pages here but I would still like a good primer on how best to use the various fuctions. My primary interest at the present is making home movies (.mov) and editing them with QTP and Windows Movie Maker.
Thanks

QuickTime for windows error -2048 has been consistant for many moons. With not opening file formats that are not supported. Unlikely caused by a battery or camera...

QuickTime Pro for Windows playback issue

Hi,
I'm using QT Pro for Windows for time lapse. Most times during playback the video stops halfway (or thereabouts) and then after a few seconds, jumps to the end.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

HP HPE-110t, Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU 2.5GHz, 64bit, 6GB
Windows 7 Pro
These are a series of JPEG (5184 x 3465) taken with a Canon T31 and opened with the QT Pro "Open Image Sequence" stored on my C: drive
I get the same result no matter how many frames I load. The playback does not always stop halfway, seems random. I have also noticed that if I play it back multiple times (10-12) the playback does get smoother.
Thanks.

I just bought Quicktime Pro for Windows. I want to enter my registration code and get started....but where do I do that? No option in my Quicktime menu.

Text tracks no longer visible in Quicktime Pro for Windows 7.7.2?

I opened a text track in Quicktime Pro 7.7.2, and none of the text was visible. I verified with a text track that I know used to work a few months ago, and it also was not visible.
I rolled back to Quicktime Pro 7.6 for Windows, and re-opened the files, and they worked again. Has anyone else encountered this issue? I know the 7.7.2 update involved a security patch to the way text tracks were handled.
Thanks.

I love computers.
Have managed to fix this already. Been working the issue for a few days now, and a few minutes after writing the above post I decided to reset the Time Capsule to factory default settings.
After entering all my details again (used same network names, passwords etc) the Time Capsule was rebooted. When it came back on line - guess what? Yep, the MyBook WD drive is now visibile. I can connect via the network from my other machines to the drive, and iTunes is back.
So - thought I would post my resolution in case it helps others.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 crashes after using "File"-Menu

Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5
Hello,
As of yesterday, can the "File" menu no longer operate. Other submenus can not be done. The program crashes after.
I have been three times the program is uninstalled and reinstalled. No improvement.
Yesterday I drove down the PC and there were 21 Windows updates, are there perhaps relationships?
Who can help me?
Gerd

Update! - FIX...
Spent about 5 hours working with a 2nd level Adobe Support tech and we were able to track down the error. You’re not going to believe this.
Adobe Premiere was the only application affected by the bug. AF, Encore, Audition were all able to open a WAV file with no problem. Premiere would lock up (Not Responding) as soon as you tried to open a WAV file.
Come to find out it was not an Adobe problem after all. I installed the Smart Sound plugins in June/July of this year and that plugin was the issue. Once it was removed I could import Wav files again.
Smart Sound has upgraded the plugin and the new plugin works just fine.
My thanks to the Adobe tech who stayed with the problem until it was resolved. And I suggested to the SmartSound tech that they find a better way to notify users when they find a bug of this magnitude. But you might guess how well that was revived.

Is there a 64 bit Quicktime Pro for Windows?

I just purchased a 64 bit vista machine for video editing and I'm looking for a 64 bit version of quicktime pro. I've installed quicktime on this machine and notice that it runs as a 32 bit process. I want to take full advantage of my hardware, and therefore want a version of QT Pro that is made for the 64 bit architecture. There is no information on apple's website that I could find about this. Does anyone in the community know if apple has made such a version of QT Pro???
Thanks!

I believe the libraries for QuickTime (QTKit) are indeed 64 bit. However, 64 bit under OSX is very different from 64 bit under Windows. There are a few good websites that can help explain the difference, here's one that is fairly straightforward.

QuickTime Pro for Windows cuts off after about a second?

Pro version of QuictTime worked fine at first on Vista 32bit. (Don't judge me becasue I'm using Vista, please!) Used it for video editing last fall. Now I find any video or audio file I try to play cuts off at about 1 minute. Only way to get it to play an entire movie is to turn on "Play All Frames" or else mess with playback speed -- and in both cases audio gets turned off. I have tried resetting just about every preference and view setting I can find. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Was especially careful to make sure I did not have playbe restricted by means of "Play Selection Only." Furthermore, teh start-stop bracketting controls have no effect.
This happens with all kind of video and audio tracks.
I am at a total loss. Searched Windows Registry for something amiss but found nothing. Even being a software developer myself I just don't see what is amiss. Could this be due to some nasty codec? Conflict with other software? Only new media software on this machine I know of is Adobe's and I never even use that.
Help?

I haven't [yet] tried it with other M4V files, but I will and get back to you.
BTW, after it crashed, I restarted QuickTime and opened the newly-created "self contained" movie and it seemed to play OK, So despite the inconvenience of having to restart, the crash didn't seem to affect the end product of my work.

Will the latest version of Quicktime Pro(for Vista) create a Lime Lapse from a .Mov file (from a video camera)

Will Quicktime Pro for Windows convert a .MOV file to a time lapse?
I have a six hour tripcoming up next weekend, and want turn a full length bullet cam video(native .MOV) of it into a time lapse to post. I have found tons of info saying QuicktimePro will go from stills to time lapse, but only one reference to converting an existing 1080P .mov file into one.
Any and all help and or direction will be greatly appreciated!

QuickTime Player Pro can open image sequences and export to an image sequence. This will create a series of still image files, sequentially named to a folder you create.
Open the video and choose Export from the File menu. In the next dialog window choose "Movie to Image Sequence" and then click the "Options" button. Here you set the "frame per second" and the file format (JPEG, PNG, etc.) and other options (like target file size or compression).
Set the FPS to one and one image file per second of video will be extracted and compressed. If your source was 30 fps then the first frame of the first second of the file will be saved. Set the fps to two and the first and fifteenth frame will be captured.
Some words of cation:
Be sure to create a new folder prior to the export. You don't want hundreds (or thousands) of image files cluttering your desktop.
Edit the source file prior to export to get a "long" shot of the action. Scene breaks will look awkward when they are played at high speed.
Don't make a 1080 file export to image sequence. If your source is 1080 use the View menu to change it to "Half Size". These half size image files will help keep the file size down and help playback on older machines.
Now that you have your folder of images choose "import Image Sequence" from the file menu and set your fps rate back to the same as your source file.
You'll note that file size of your exported/imported project will probably be larger than your source file (and maybe too big to share on the Web). Export it again "Movie to QuickTime Movie" and choose H.264 video codec and set an "average" data rate. This should crunch the file five times smaller.

Exchanging Windows version of QuickTime Pro for Mac version

I bought QuickTime Pro for Windows by mistake. I have a Mac, and it won't accept what I downloaded. I need to exchange this download. How can I contact the help desk?

You can contact the customer service people at the phone number listed at the bottom of the Apple web site pages. Howeveer, be advised that sicne it is impossible for Apple to verify whether or not the pro key sent has been used, it is unlikely that Apple will refund your money if the purchase process was properly completed—i.e., the key was properly generated and made a part of your account record. Your best options will likely be to either to sell or gift the key and user name to a widows user and purchase a Mac key if you need full QT 7 Pro functionality (masking, blending, layering, etc.) or download the free MPEG Streamclip app if all you need is trimming, merging, and conversion options.
