Quicktime pro MPEG - 2 codec

I recently bought PRO and the Mpeg codec too. PRO works great, but I can't get MPEG to play still. IT is also giving me an error when I try to update, I believe this is the way to get the MPEG installed.
Are there any ways around this??

I presume that you're referring to Apple's MPEG-2 Playback Component, yes? When exactly is this error appearing, and what does it say?

Quicktime Pro and Indeo Codec 5?

I have a Casio Exilim camera and my .avi movie files do not play on QuickTime 7 on my Mac OS X. I have sound but no video output. I tried downloading a variety of players/codecs and converting the files to other video file types (.mov, mpeg) but the files ended up only playing successfully on the VLC media player. Unfortunately, I'm still unable to upload my movie files to iMovie - no video, only sound -(which is frustrating because one of my main reasons for getting a mac was for its video editing capabilities). I read that the codec that supports Casio .avi files is an old one called Indeo 5. I also read that Quicktime Pro supports this codec but not for Mac OS X.
Can anyone confirm whether or not Quicktime Pro supports Indeo 5 on a Mac OS X before I drop $30 for it?

I read that the codec that supports Casio .avi files is an old one called Indeo 5. I also read that Quicktime Pro supports this codec but not for Mac OS X.I don't see it listed on the Official Support Page for QT Pro. Some Indeos may been ported for use with OS 9, but I don't believe any were for OS X.

Quicktime Pro Mpeg

Before I purchase an upgrade to Quicktime Pro, I would like to know if by using Quicktime Pro, I can convert MQV video files to Mpegs or not. Thankyou for your time.

I thought that Mpeg was the most recent format, and that it was the most popular. I want to copy my MQV files from Sony Memorystick onto DVD, but it won`t work unless they are either Mpeg or Wav files. Quicktime is the only player that will play my MQV files. I just want to be able to make a DVD of my video files, but it`s looking less and less possible (-_-;)

I am using quicktime pro for apple codecs and adobe CS6 cant see them. I am using win7 64bit op sytem. Help please...

I am using Quicktime pro 7 the latest, on a win7 64bit PC machine.
Adobe Premiere and Encoder cant see it; has anyone had troubles and
how do i fix this problem..help. I am try to use the apple codecs for
digital editing "apple prores 422".

Hi Gary
thanks for your reply, look I was loading the latest Quicktime and paid for the latest version of Quicktime Pro for windows as well as updating Itunes. After restarting my PC, the apple codecs would not show in the codecs list when i was preparing the output specs which are for the Australian broadcast which my boss wants of:
1280 X 720, 25fps and Apple codecs prores 422.
Look I was wondering is there any area of Quicktime Player Pro that I have to turn on or off, I just wonder if I have to do something in Premier Pro or the other adobe program encore to convert certain levels of film from one level to another, as the camera crew I was with had 5 different levels of film to convert to the above format.
Do you have any other ideas that come to mind, I have had some troubles in the last six months with Indesign and Adobe pdf maker, I have alot of sucess with adobe before. I gratefull for any other hints. Cheers Hound Puppy

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.

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?

NO AUDIO with QuickTime Pro and MPEG-2 Playback

I just purchased Sony Camcorder (Sony DCR-DVD610 DVD Handycam Camcorder with 40x Optical Zoom) and recorded some movies. But when I tried to view it through my iMac (Version 10.4.11) the MPG format files wouldn't played.
So I purchased "QuickTime Pro 7.5" and "MPEG-2 Playback" -- Well, the movies finally played BUT NO AUDIO at all. I also downloaded several supported codecs but still failed -- NO AUDIO.
Anybody knows the answer?. Please help -- Thanks much!

All DVD camcorders I've seen use AC3 for audio. As QT Kirk pointed out, this audio format is not supported natively by QT which is why you need the latest Perian or the A52 codec installed.
The camcorder comes with 3" DVD+RW. Since my computer is iMac with CD/DVD drive slot on the side, I can't play the 3" DVD. The drive only play the regular 6" CD/DVD...
I believe Rick was trying to find out if you can connect the camcorder via the USB cable (closing iMovie '08 if it opens) and access the movies at the file level directly from the camcorder. If you can see the files on the camcorder, then they can be copied to your hard drive and/or opened in MPEG Streamclip for viewing/conversion to iMovie '08 "edit" compatible file formats. The free MPEG Streamclip application, together with the $20 MPEG-2 Playback component which you have already purchased, will allow you to convert your video files to DV, AIC, M-JPEG, Photo-JPEG, MPEG-4, or H.264 video with DV, AIFF (Big/Little Endian), Uncompresses, AAC, etc. compatible audio. DO NOT CONVERT TO APPLE ANIMATION OR APPLE VIDEO COMPRESSION FORMATS as they will import and edit but not export properly from iMovie '08. DO NOT USE QT PRO (or any other QT application) TO CONVERT YOUR FILES as this work flow will not retain the original audio content. (I.e., your original QT Pro conversion attempt may have lost the original audio content and, if so, no added component will now allow you to hear the non-existent audio.)

QDesign Music 2 not listed as an export codec - QuickTime Pro 7.7.1

I have the current QuickTime Pro - version 7.7.1. for Windows 7.
I use it for my Web design course on audio & video editing.
One of the export codecs supported by Apple in the past was QDesign Music 2, a very good codec. Now I see that this codec is not listed as an export option under "Movie to Quick Time Movie", after the "Enable coding using legacy codecs" is chosen in preferences.
Currently, according to Apple, the technical specs for QuickTime 7.7 shows the QDesign codec as part of the list of supported codecs for audio, but it shows as "decoding only".
Is this telling me that the codec is only supported to play audio made with the QDesign Music 2 codec? - or does Apple still support the same codec for exporting in QuickTime Pro?
Thanks for your help, I look forward to the answer.

Latest quicktime version 7.1 with Pro/MPEG-2 Playback.

I just realized that the latest Quicktime version is 7.1 and noticed that the version I have is 7.0.4. My concern is that I also have Quicktime Pro 7.0 and the MPEG-2 Playback and wanted to know if I download the new version 7.1 of Quicktime how that would affect the Quicktime Pro and MPEG-2 Playback?

Version 7.1 addressing some security concerns and should be installed.
The Apple MPEG-2 Playback Component is a lifetime purchase and if newer versions are released you don't have to buy again.
Your QuickTime 7 Pro will not be changed because of the update. Your registration will remain valid until you install version 8 (whenever it comes out).

Quicktime Pro - export as mpeg-4 works in iPod Touch but not iPhone 3G

If I use Movie to iPhone / iPhone (cellular) the quality is pretty dismal considering I use the component cable to pipe it out to HDTV.
So, I tried using movie to mpeg-4 as that allows options. However, the resulting video can be transferred over to an iPod Touch (latest hw/fw) but iTunes (latest version) complains the mp4 cannot be played on the iPhone 3G and thus did not transfer the file over.
Any ideas what settings I can use under Movie to MPEG-4 that will work for both iPod Touch and iPhone? I would like resolutions up to 720, 25 fps and at around 768kbits/sec.
Right now I'm using ffmpeg.exe and I do get great quality, but would like to use QuickTime Pro if possible.

I've tried Movie to iPhone but like I said I do watch movies piped out from the iPhone to HDTV via the component cables. I don't recall the bitrate and resolution offhand, but I know it could be better. Also why iPod Touch can take the Movie to MPEG-4 but not iPhone 3G?

How can I check to see if my version of QuickTime Pro 7.6.6 already has ProApps QuickTime Codecs installed? I also have Final Cut Pro 6. I'm asking because my computer can't seem to play ProRes 422 codec video without stuttering or skipping?

I have a fairly capable MacBook Pro (2.93 GHzIntel Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory and a 1TB HD -5400 rpm, so I am hoping it's not that my computer that can't support it and it's something more simple like not have ProApps QuickTime codecs installed. Thanks in advance!

If you can view a ProRes 4-2-2 video at all, then you either have the independent ProRes422 Playback component installed or the FCP "Pro" video components installed.

Check your "~/Library/QuickTime" folder for your various "Pro" components. If in doubt that you have them all, re-run the FCP installer and it should add any missing components, apps, or utilities.

Quicktime Pro won't open an MPEG movie file with the Quicktime icon

What am I missing? Not getting? I have several MPEG movie files that proudly sport the Quicktime icon, but the Quicktime app tells me they're not movie files.
If Quicktime won't open them, is there conversion software I can use?
So much for productivity.

Didn't even consider it. I thought that because the file displayed the Quicktime icon and because I have Quicktime Pro, that Quicktime would play the file.
Unfortunately, this is a common misconception. However, now that you understand the problem, you can work on a solution. Basically, if by MPEG your are referring to common MPEG-2/MP2 content 'multiplexed" to an MPEG container, these can be played in the QT Player (or Front Row or iTunes) if you install the QT MPEG-2 Playback component ($19.99). However, be advised that this is a video only component, so it does not make "muxed" AC3 MPEG-2 files playback compatible with the QT player. Luckily, if you do decide to install this component, the free MPEG Streamclip application will allow you to play or convert such files to any QT compatible audio and video format for which you system is configured. Or, if all you want to do is play MPEG-2 video files without investing in the QT component, then you can view them with VLC but may have trouble converting them to a QT compatible format. HandBrake will also convert them without investing in the MPEG-2 component, but greatly limits your conversion possibilities. I personally would recommend buying the component as Neil recommended since it offers the greatest flexibility for playing without conversion, as well as, the most conversion options for all normal MPEP-2 Program and Transport Stream files you are likely to encounter using QT 7 Pro and/or MPEG Streamclip depending on the specific source content what you want to do with the final files.

Can QuickTime Pro embed an MP3 in an MPEG-4, MPEG-2, or FLV container?

I'm just looking for some software that'll let me upload an MP-3 to YouTube. That's pretty much the beginning and end of my interest in QuickTime Pro or anything similar.
Hope someone can help...

What do You Tube ask for?
MPEG-2 is not a container - it is a multiplexed A/V format used for DVD. QT won't output to FLV (Flash) without buying Flash (mega $) and since when you send to You Tube they make and post it in FLV (or now MP4) for you I think they don't actually ask for FLV do they?
You want to send a video with no video, just audio? You can open an MP3 and save that as a MOV file, there will just be audio (MP3) in a MOV container. Something like MPEG Streamclip should let you open the MP3 and export to an MP4 movie with no movie just AAC audio.

Question about Quicktime Pro/Codec on Windows

Does anyone know if Quicktime Pro for windows installs a usable H.264 codec? I'd like to be able to encode directly to the codec via a 3rd party application instead of using Quicktime for encoding. If all the encoding is within Quicktime Pro, then I'm guess this won't work?
Anyone know if this is possible?

I'm not sure what you mean by a "usable" codec. If by that you mean you want the third-party application to be able to encode to H.264, that depends entirely on the third-party app. If it can use QuickTime codecs, then the codec should be usable without needing a Pro key (which just unlocks the editing and export capabilities of QT Player; the free version of QuickTime already has all the codecs Apple provides for Windows). If the third-party app doesn't use the QT codecs, then buying a Pro key will not make it do so.

Quicktime pro.vod to mpeg-4???

Can quicktime-pro convert .vob video files for play on itunes and the new ipod?

Vob files are muxed mpeg files and QT will not export the sound from such files: QT Mpeg Limitations
I am sure there are Windows programs that can convert mpeg-2 to formats QT can edit and export, although I don't know the specific applications you would have to use. You can use this freeware for the conversion of mpeg-1 files to uncompressed avi, which QT will accept and then be able to export both sound and video. Since it is an open source program you may find a version of it that works with mpeg-2.

Converting .mov file to mpeg-4 from Quicktime Pro (Player 7)

I have, in the past, converted .mov files to mpeg-4 with Quicktime Pro successfully, without quality being an issue. However, now the quality of the movie is grainy and pixellating. What am I doing wrong? Please help me. Thank you.

Sounds like a setting has changed on you. Have you done an upgrade of QuickTime? Have you exported a low-res version of something recently. My QT Pro setting always seem to default to the most recent settings.
Also, when exporting to .mp4, I find that the H.264 setting seems to work better...especially when I crank up the data rate.
Hope this helps.
