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.

How long will quicktime pro movie record?

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.

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.

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!

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.

Does Quicktime Pro convert VOB DVD files?

I'm very new to DVD although not to Macs (Thankfully). I'm ripping my hair out trying to convert Canon (rewriteable) dvds into a format the Mac will read. (Windows seems to support all dvds with Ulead etc....) Will Quicktime Pro convert VOB files into something I can play back on the Mac? I assume from other postings the files should be in MPEG-2 format. If not, what on earth can I buy that will do the job simply and cheaply....

Try Mpeg StreamClip: ( http://www.squared5.com ) it's free. It will convert from VOB to DV, QT and several other formats, but you will have to have the Mpeg 2 codec on your Mac to use it, that can be purchased here, ( http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/ ) if you don't have it already.
Another sharware program for transcoding, to different formats and can burn to DVD when it finished transcoding is called VisualHub, found here: http://www.techspansion.com/visualhub/tryit.php . It comes with the codecs, (via a free download after VH is installed.
It costs $23.32USD

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 video from DVD

I have previously made home movies on DVD. (I used Click to DVD as the program to create them.) How can I convert them to QuickTime so that I can play them on an IPOD when I am away from home?
There really isn't anything in the manual that specifically addresses this situation. Any my computer knowledge is rather basic.
Thanks,
Louise

One way to do it is to use this freeware to make ipod videos. Use the mpeg-4 export. Only catch is that you will have to buy the mpeg2playbackcomponent from Apple since DVD vobs are almost always made with mpeg-2 video. Mpeg StreamClip
Note that the freeware is available in both Mac and Windows XP versions.

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 Settings for DVD Quality Streaming to TV?

Hey All,
I have a lot of home movies I've made on my SD camcorder shot in widescreen. I have them all saved in as individual iMovie Project files. In the past I exported from iMovie as Full Quality then went to QP pro and exported them to stream on the web using Video and Audio settings I like.
Now I have connected my Xbox360 to my mac and want to go back into QP and export the files so they can be streamed to my Xbox360 and have DVD quality. I can already watch the videos but they are pixelated because they are obviously in the wrong format.
What QP export settings should I use under Options for Audio and Video on a 16:9 display?
I want DVD quality. On average my videos are 2,3 or 4 minutes long. I assume this solution would also transger over if I ended up getting an Apple TV.
If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks!

I would still use the save as method to change the file extension. The default "open with" application for .m4v is iTunes, not QuickTime Player and not all users have installed it. Viewers know what a .mov file is. A .m4v may confuse them.
Use the Export to iPod settings (nearly foolproof) and test the file so you're sure it plays in QuickTime and the iPod.
Next use the Movie Info window to add "Annotations". These can be things like changing the "title", adding copyright notices, artist names and dozens of other things.
Also set the movie "poster frame". This special frame shows as an image when, or if, you decide to use RSS feeds or Podcasts for the file.
Now that you've edited the file you need to save it. A "regular" Save may not preserve the fast start properties. Using "Save As" will restore the fast start feature.
Your viewers can either watch the file in the browser window or click on your other link and choose to save the file to their computer.

Quicktime pro for ibook, DVD regions, MSN, Word Processing

Just wondering is it worth paying the £20 for pro? Does it help?
Also can u play region 1 DVD's on an ibook (i'm buying from uk, we're region 2)
Which is best messenger for compatibility with MSN and it's functions?
Also other than Microsoft Office, is NeoOffice or Openoffice better?
Thanks for any help

QuickTime Pro will not allow you to play any more types of files than the regular QuickTime Player will play. What the "Pro" option gives you is the editing and exporting features.
You can change your DVD region five times after the original setting. The VideoLAN Media Player does not rely on Apple's region manager and should play a DVD from any region without asking you to change. It is still beta software and it's being written by a school in France, so it's not like regular commercial software, it does have some rough edges. But, it's always played the Region 2 DVDs I have on my Region 1 PowerBook.

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.

Will QuickTime Pro Decoders work in Windows Media Player?

I am working on a Notebook/Laptop with Windows XP Home. This machine does not play DVDs in Windows Media Player. I am considering upgrading to Quicktime Pro for all of its functions. I was just wondering if this would fix Windows Media Player too?
Thanks...

I was just wondering if this would fix Windows Media Player too?
Probably not. QuickTime Pro doesn't include a DVD decoder anyway; if you want to play unprotected DVDs in QuickTime, you need the MPEG-2 playback component, which is completely separate from and not part of QuickTime Pro. Protected DVDs require a dedicated DVD player application.

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 have Windows 8.1 and just bought the quicktime mpeg-2 playback component for windows and it won't install. I currently have Quicktime Pro.

I need to run Quicktime Pro and playback DVD with mpeg-2 content for school. I just downloaded Quicktime Pro, and purchased the quicktime mpeg-2 playback component for Windows, but I can't download it at all. Is this because my PC is running Windows 8.1?
If so, is there anything I can do?

What do I do?
You actually have several options. However, since you specifically want to use it it with MPEG Streamclip, the easiest approach would be to download the MPEG Streamclip "Beta" package for the Mac which includes a utility app that will help install the QT MPEG-2 Playback component on Lion and later operating systems. Instructions and background info can be found HERE under the "Lion/Mountain Lion and MPEG-2 Playback Component" tab.

How Can i Transfer dvd movie files using quicktime pro

I bought quicktime pro under the impression that you can convert dvd movie files into ipod format if anybody has an answer please respond!!!!????

QuickTime Pro can't even view DVD formats without some help.
DVD's are "protected" with CSS software encryption and can't be viewed with the Pro version of QT.
Find some third party software (hundreds of apps) by looking and searching through the iPod Discussions pages.
