Quicktime pro movie convertor

I have down loaded movie with the following format DvDriP-fxg.avi .have tried every thing i known (which is very little) to play. Tried vlan,windows media for mac tried dvx . Can any body help. Thinking of purchasing QuicktimePro with the convertor.

Get MediaInfoMac. What codecs does it use? AVI can have just about any mix if codecs and there's thousands of combinations.
Did you try:
[VLC media player|http://www.videolan.org/vlc> - general media player that plays just about anything.
[Perian codecs for Quicktime|http://www.perian.org] - plugins to add functionality to Quicktime for playing additional audio and video formats
[Quicktime audio problems, Perian, VLC|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9013669] - read note about uninstalling prior DIVX support before installing Perian.

    how long will quicktime pro movie record? i'm would like to record a 10+min onscreen movie clip. dont want to purchase if there a limit to recording time. thanks. owen

    I'd suggest you ask this question in the QuickTime for Mac forum. QuickTime for Windows doesn't have the video capture feature, so this probably isn't the best place for you to get a quick answer.
    Regards.

    That depends. How much free space do you have available on a single drive? Which compression format do you plan to use? How fast is your CPU. Barring the unexpected, QT 7 Pro will record until it runs out of scratch space. Frame rates are dependent on your CPU power which means newer, more powerful platforms record more frames per second and thus tend to have higher data rates up to the max standard for the system. Lastly, the compression format/device type/device capture size/graphic complexity combination also determines the average data rate. So, as long as the average data rate times the duration of the clip is less than the amount of free space available on your hard drive, you can record continuously.
    i would like to record a 10+min onscreen movie clip.
    If by "oncscreen" movie you are referring to a "screen capture" of a movie, the QT 7 Pro will not do this. You either need to use a third-party screen capture application or upgrade to Snow Leopard for QT X "screen capture" capabilities.

  • Help with Automator Script for QuickTime Pro Movie Conversion from Vado

    All my videos from my Creative Vado do not show up in iMovie 09 initially on import. By trial and error, I have discovered that the old version of QuickTime Pro 7 ($29.95) will convert them to .mov files that can be seen by iMovie 09 once the converted videos are imported back into iPhoto.
    I am (very) new to mac things, and it looks like in theory I could use Automator to handle to conversion process, and perhaps even the re-import into iPhoto. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about this? Where would be a good site to post this as a project that I could pay some one to help me, provide an automator script/workflow?
    Are any other solutions available? Buy Final Cut etc?
    PS (Rant): One of the reasons I bought a MacBook Pro and iLife was to take advantage of what I thought was supposed to be Apple's superior multimedia handling. It seems ludicrous to me that with a MacBook Pro running the latest software (10.6.4), and using the latest versions of iLife, I'd have to buy an old version of QuickTime to convert my videos so that I could manipulate them in iMovie. Sigh.

    MPeg Stram clip will export files which are compatible with iMovie '09. It (iMovie )can import the following.
    DV
    AIC
    Motion-JPEG
    Photo-JPEG
    MPEG-4 (Supported profiles)
    H.264 (Supported profiles)
    Apple Animation (Movie '09 only)
    Apple Video (iMovie '09 only)
    iMovie '08/'09 will not accept files containing extraneous data tracks such as:
    'Tween
    Text
    Chapter
    Closed Caption
    Secondary audio such as AC3
    etc.
    iMovie '08/'09 Will not accept files that rely on proprietary/third-party components such as
    DivX
    WMV
    XviD
    etc.

  • Quicktime Pro: movie from stills, movie size

    Hello all,
    I am planning to buy QT Pro, and have 2 questions about it:
    1. I want to convert my DVDs (music concerts) to QT so that I can organize them in iTunes and watch without having DVDs. What will be the size of a QT file converted from a 2 hr concert, with acceptable quality?
    2. I am doing some modeling (finite element) and am not sure if the PC software can make animations. I was thinking of taking the stills from the results and make a movie in Quicktime, for my Keynote presentation. Can Quicktime make movie from stills? . I know it can do slideshow but this would be like a slideshow changing images every .25 second or even faster. Do you have any other suggestions in this regard?
    Thanks in advance!
    Alpesh

    You'll need some third party software for your MPEG-2 (DVD format). I use HandBrake (free). It allows you to set movie dimensions and compression to a "fixed" (you control) file size.
    QuickTime Pro can import image sequences. You can set the frame rate at import from 60 frames a second up to ten seconds per frame.
    You can even add audio or export these image sequence movies to DV Stream for use in iMovie or iDVD.

  • Combining Multiple Quicktime Pro Movies

    Hello,
    I cannot combine two quicktime movies. When I try to combine the movies, it does not work. I have done the following step as advised by quicktime pro manual: With QuickTime Pro, you can easily add one movie to another to make one longer movie.
    To combine two movies:
    In QuickTime Player, choose Edit > Select All to select the entire contents of the first movie.
    Choose Edit > Copy, then open the second movie.
    Move the playhead to the point at which you want to insert the movie (usually the very beginning or end of the original movie), and choose Edit > Paste.
    Choose File > Save As to name and save the new movie.
    This does not work, it does not copy that content but rather holds whatever is in the clipboard prior to copying the quicktime file. Can anyone offer any advice?

    I upgraded to Snow Leopard and what was included was QTime 10. The ability to combine movies was lost. I had to reinsert the Snow Leopard Install disk, click on Optional Installs. Then I opened up the Optional Install.pkg file and one of the Optional installs is QT7. I installed it and it is placed in the Utilities folder under applications. When I open it my Pro Features are available and I can again combine Qtime movies.

  • QuickTIme pro movies to DVD

    Hi there
    So i have downloaded a file, which is .avi format. i can run it in QT no problem, but the wife wants to watch it on telly ( lost for anyone that is nosey ) and i was wondering what is the best way and quickest way to burn it onto a DVD.
    so over to all you experts out there.
    thanks
    D

    To create a disk that can be used on a video DVD player, you'll need to use an application like iDVD. Toast can also create video DVDs, if you have Toast already.

  • Quicktime Pro problems, involving Error -43 and disappearing files

    I'm very confused, and I'm hoping someone can help me. Right now I'm in the process of trying to get my Quicktime Pro movies to my Ipod (in iTunes), but it hasn't been working for me. Hopefully I can get some insight here.
    What I do is, I download the MPEG4 video files and they open up in Quicktime Pro. I then click "Export" and choose Video to iPod. I then choose a destination, and re-name the file if I want (I usually rename it, and send it either to my desktop or My documents). After it's exported, it SHOULD appear in that place, and about 30% of the times it does, the other times it just disappears. However, after I'm done dragging it to iTunes, I then want to take it off my desktop, so I've been putting all of the video files into a folder I created in My documents. Now, they DO load onto my Ipod and iTunes, but when I want to play them in iTunes, it does the whole "Error 43- File could not be found" when I know for SURE it's still on my computer. And if I want to play that certain video file again on Quicktime, when I search for it the files arn't even there, yet when I go in manually I see them.
    Some theories I have: When I export the files from Quicktime to iPod, I usually rename the file. Does this affect anything?
    My iTunes IS NOT set to manually manage music and videos, maybe I should reset that?
    One thing I am curious about, is when I put the exported video files into a folder on my computer, the little icon that comes up for them is the Windows Media Player Icon. This may just be because I'm using a Windows PC, but who knows.
    I really hope someone has ideas on what I'm doing wrong, I'd really appreciate some help. Or if someone would walk me step-by-step through the process of Quicktime ---> iPod, that would be wonderful also.

    The only time I have experienced error- 43 file could not be found was when having a drive named in a way that QT could not read from. For example (F:\F:\), drive named (F:\) QT could then play. Kirkster points out something interesting in this link on how the error 43 can also be generated:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1151490&tstart=15
    Changing the name of a file should not prevent QT from playing the file, it is unusual to have a WMP logo on the file, what is showing when right clicking and Properties?
    It is difficult to understand your post, your all over the place at once on the computer.

  • I would like to convert an animated Gif to .mov, will Quicktime Pro 7 do this? Should I spend the money?

    Hi everyone.
    I'm looking to put a few animations onto keynote and I'm making my presentation on PowerPoint.
    I need to convert an animated gif into a .mov file and was wondering whether Quicktime Pro 7 does this?
    Thanks

    I need to convert an animated gif into a .mov file and was wondering whether Quicktime Pro 7 does this?
    Since it appears QTKirk has provided the best answer for your specific work flow issue as stated, I will answer your more general question...
    Yes, QT 7 Pro can open an animated GIF file and save it as an MOV file. At this time the real question is whether or not the MOV file produced is suitable for your needs. Basically the MOV file can be then then be played—but it only plays one pass in the normal playback mode. You can, of course opt to loop the playback which, for a small files, plays much as the original GIF.
    Unfortunately, the "Loop" setting is not saved when the MOV file is saved, so this option must be re-initialized each time the MOV file is opened. This would not be a problem if all you are doing is openening the file in the QT 7 player and letting it play in the looped mode all day as some sort of display but would likely be an unsatisfoactory solution for sending the MOV file to someone else. You could, of course, turn the MOV file into a QTL file with the loop option set to get around this problem.
    While I would be hard pressed to say it would be a good investment just for the creation of GIF movie files, QT 7 Pro does offer a lot of other features that make it a bargain utility for many quick edit requirements if you use/need them.

  • QuickTime Movie Files Won't Convert For iPod using iTunes and QuickTime Pro

    I've got a ton, and I mean a ton of QuickTime movie files of music videos that I want to convert to use on the iPod. I tried using "Convert Selection For iPod" in the Advanced Menu on iTunes, but got the following message trying convert a QuickTime file of U2's Beautiful Day:
    ""Beautiful Day" could not be converted because this file does not allow for saving or conversion."
    I purchased QuickTime Pro hoping that the features on Pro would convert the file. When I opened the same file to convert using QuickTime Pro, "Export" under the file menu was grayed out so I couldn't select it.
    You'd think that an APPLE QuickTime Movie file that can be played on APPLE'S iTunes and APPLE'S QuickTime Player would be able to be converted to be used in APPLE'S iPod player. (Anybody notice how APPLE is capitalized to point out that the the hardware, software and file formats are ALL Apple?)
    Instead I wasted money buying QuickTime Pro when it won't do what I specifically bought it for. Now I have all these QuickTime files which won't play on the iPod.
    Can anybody provide some help or assistance on how to accomplish what I'm trying to accomplish???

    If the file doesn't allow saving or conversions then it is protected by DRM (Fairplay).
    Nothing can help QuickTime Pro convert protected files.

  • CAN'T figure out how to make/edit movies in QuickTime Pro...

    I can't seem to figure out how to creat and edit movies in Quicktime Pro. I would do this in windows movie maker as its sooo simple, but it doesn't save in a format that works on a mac computer (I'm emailing the video to someone who uses a mac!). And, I can't seem to find a program that is as easy to use as Windows Movie Maker...PLEASE help me, I really NEED to get this movie in a format to work on a Mac! I'm at a total loss as to what to do! And I can't seem to find a tutorial, either!
    =( Kourtney

    First of all, Quicktime is not really an "editing" program in the traditional sense. If you are expecting to really edit in QT Pro, you will be disappointed. Yes, you can actually import video directly into QT Pro and edit it, but the functions will be limited to roughly selecting chunks of video and deleting them, and you won't have frame-accurate control like other real editing programs. But lets start at the beginning: 1) Your post does not give enough information to anyone for them to help you. Where are the videos coming from that you want to edit? Camcorder? Digital camera that takes MPEG movies? VHS or DVDs? 2) The answer to #1 will be the clue as whether you are plugging a USB device or a Firewire device into the computer. Once this is determined, then instructions will vary as to how you go about editing. 3) I'm not sure if you are using QT Pro on a PC or a Mac. If you have a Mac, why don't you use the built-in video editing program that came with your computer? It's called iMovie? Quicktime can convert some video files into something that is compatible with iMovie, if they're not already. If you are using QT Pro on a PC, then I'm a little unfamilar as if it works exactly the same between between a Mac and PC. Seeing that you come from the PC side of the Universe, I'd bet that you are trying to plug in and use a USB device. On a Mac, QT Pro can record video directly from a camcorder, but it needs to be connected via Firewire. Otherwise for something transferred via USB, you most likely have an MPEG file. QT Pro can open this, but again, the editing will be very rough as QT is not a refined edit program.

  • QuickTime Pro 7.1 hangs when trying to export a movie.

    Hi There,
    I just installed the Key for QuickTime Pro on my Win XP laptop. Now, whenever I try to export a movie, QT just hangs there, using 99% of the CPU. The buttons in the dialog box seems to be active (change appearance when I hover them) but clicling any of them (including OK or Cancel) does nothing. The only way out is to kill the QT task.
    If I just click OK in the first export dialog, CPU usage jumps to 99% and hangs. If I select "Options" in the export dialog, the "options" dialog itself hangs and the CPU usage jumps to 99%.
    I did not try all menu options but it looks like the hang and use 99% CPU is pretty general since I was attempting to do an "Update Existing Software..." From the help menu and QT hang there too. But I can open de preferences, set them and close them without problems though.
    Looking in the Application even manager, this is the error reported:
    "Hanging application QuickTimePlayer.exe, version 7.1.0.210, hang module hungapp, version 0.0.0.0, hang address 0x00000000."
    Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?
    I purchased QT Pro today because I need to convert a sequence of files into a movie. Right now I cannot do that.

    Why not try updating your QuickTime software?
    Most current version is 7.4.1

  • Unable to edit movies in QuickTime Pro

    I just licensed a copy of QuickTime Pro. However, I find that I am unable edit movies.
    The Cut/Copy/Paste/Delete and Trim to Selection menus remain greyed out, even when I specify a selection with the in/out markers. The movies I am trying to work with "MPEG Muxed" format, and were taken with a Sony DSC-N1 camera. Exporting them to other formats does not seem to solve the problem.
    My understanding is that I should be able to edit movies with QuickTime Pro. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Titanium PowerBook G4 1 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.10) 1 GB SDRAM, QuickTime Pro 7.2

    Thank you for your swift response!
    I got QuickTime Pro so I wouldn't need other utilities when doing trivial editing to videos, so I feel like I've probably wasted my money on a license. Why a free utility can handle a common format that QuickTime Pro can't is beyond me.
    Thank you for your assistance! I've downloaded what you recommended and am up and running!

    What format of MPG is this?  Is this an MPEG1 or MPEG2 video?  How was the video created?

  • Quicktime Pro Really Slow to Load Movies

    Hi,
    Anyone have any idea why after getting Quicktime pro it is so slow to load movies? I have an iMac with 2Gigs of Ram, less than a year old...
    I read about the disk permissions thing, but it doesn't seem to have helped...
    Thanks in advance!

    I don't know if this is still a problem for you, but I first noticed it when I upgraded to 7.2 in Tiger.
    It seems that QT is loading the whole movie into RAM before it starts playing. This is really annoying with long movies, the beachball just spins until QT has loaded all 350 megs into a buffer somewhere. I've started using VLC instead. No settings that I can find will alter this behaviour, and I've tried moving various third-party plug-ins around to no avail.
    Note: the behaviour persists with QT 7.3 in Tiger (10.4.10) but seems to have been fixed in Leopard (10.5). Since I'm slowly migrating to Leopard, I guess the problem is semi-solved.
