QuickTime Pro solution for my iPod conversions?

Hi!
I am looking for an application to convert video to iPod-readable format. 3 questions:
1. Would QuickTime Pro (QT Pro) be a solution for my needs?
2. What can QT Pro convert?
3. What QT pro cannot convert?
Thks.

Don't know about iPod. Still haven't got one. Can ya believe it!
As far as your import/export question...http://www.apple.com/quicktime/pro/specs.html

  • Quicktime pro settings for the Ipod and web.

    I was reading an article on creating files specifically optimized playback on Ipod and I also listed the video formats that are supported below. Below these settings are 2 questions that I have.
    H.264 video
    File formats: .m4v, .mp4 and .mov
    Video: Up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per second (fps), Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3
    Audio: AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 KHz, stereo audio
    MPEG-4 video
    File formats: .m4v, .mp4 and .mov
    Video: Up to 2.5 Mbps, 480 x 480, 30 fps, Simple Profile
    Audio: AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 KHz, stereo audio
    Is it possible in Quicktime Pro to create one file that could be used for a website to download and view 30 minute videos in Quicktime as well as be available for people to download to their ipods?
    For the website I realize I would want to use the correct HTML protocol as well as the "Fast Start" features in Quicktime Pro for playback while downloading.
    If it is possible,what settings could be used to create this type of file that could be used for a website and ipod?

    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.

  • Just purchased Quicktime Pro 7, for iMac G5 with system OS X 10.4.11, AND cannot get at Quick Pro 7 despite the keys.

    Just purchased Quicktime Pro 7, for iMac G5 with system OS X 10.4.11, AND cannot get at Quick Pro 7 despite the keys.

    If the Pro registration worked the word Pro has been removed from many menu options.
    The application remains just QuickTime Player 7 but the Pro features have been enabled.

  • What is the best export setting from QuickTime Pro 7 for standard DVD

    I have several AVI movies I took and want to import them into iMovie, so I can create a DVD that will play in any DVD player or computer. (Along with a bunch of pictures.)
    Should I convert them with QuickTime Pro 7 (QTP7) to another format, and if so, what is the best export setting.
    I have export them using *_QuickTime 10_* and QTP7 to *MOV, MP4, & M4V* and the output is *+bad bad bad+*.
    I have tried both export and save-as. Neither has done a good job.
    The internal information of the AVI movies are: (as reported by QT)
    Format: Apple OpenDML JPEG, 640 x 480, Millions, 8-bit Unsigned Integer, Mono, 11.024 kHz
    I have used several settings with not much luck including:
    AAC, Stereo (L R), 44.100 kHz, MPEG-4 (Perian), 640 x 480, Millions
    MPEG-4 Video, H.264
    Should I be using a better application then QuickTime?
    Is there a way to just use iDVD with the original AVI movies?
    These are wedding movies and pictures that people are waiting for.

    Should I convert them with QuickTime Pro 7 (QTP7) to another format, and if so, what is the best export setting.
    That depends on your specific work flow and the codec(s) involved. Generally speaking, if the file plays in the QT Player and is "conversion" compatible, then the file can be added directly to iDVD (i.e., unlike iMovie '08/'09/'11 which requires the file to be "edit" compatible with QT).
    I have export them using QuickTime 10 and QTP7 to MOV, MP4, & M4V and the output is bad bad bad.
    The quality of your output file will depend on a number of things: primarily the quality of your source file, the efficiency of the target codec, and the specific settings used. (About which you did not elaborate.) The rule of thumb here is that your output will never be better than your input and each re-comprssion of the data has the potential to degrade the quality to some degree.
    I have tried both export and save-as. Neither has done a good job.
    The "Export" option re-compresses the data while the "Save As..." option only places the original data in an MOV file container. So if this output is "bad, bad, bad," then I suspect your source file(s) are not of high quality to begin with. (This seems to be confirmed by the very low audio sampling rate which implies the video data rate was probably also low to conserve file storage space.)
    The internal information of the AVI movies are: (as reported by QT)... Format: Apple OpenDML JPEG, 640 x 480, Millions, 8-bit Unsigned Integer, Mono, 11.024 kHz
    The basic codecs here appear to be both playback and conversion compatitible with QT (other than the very low sampling rate which some QT apps may not like). Thus, if your work flow is to simply burn DVDs that can be played on commercial players, the AVI could most likely be dropped to iDVD for authoring. On the other hand, if you are editing in a recent version of iMovie, then that app may not like the AVI file container. In this case, the best quality you can likely expect would be to use the "Save As..." option to place the data in an MOV file container and import to iMovie.
    Unfortunately, editing in iMovie '08/'09/'11 is done "by reference" which means your output file will be created by exporting the impoted source data to another compression format. The default would be H.264/AAC which is a highly compressed format which in turn would be re-compressed again by iDVD to multiplexed MPEG2/PCM content further reducing quality by using a less efficient video codec. My recommendation for export from iMovie in this case would be AIC/Linear PCM. (I.e., to export your edits to the Apple intermediat video codec using the original file size and frame rate with just a bit of "sharpening" and using 16-bit/48 kHz Linear PCM audio (which is what will be used to create the DVD).
    Should I be using a better application then QuickTime?
    How much are you willing to spend?
    Is there a way to just use iDVD with the original AVI movies?
    Yes. Simply create a new SD project, select your theme, drop the compatible AVI content to the appropriate "drop" area(s), add photos as desired, preview the results, and author the DVD if/when satisfied.

  • Quicktime Pro captioning for iPhone/iTouch

    Okay bear with me here, I am a teacher for the deaf/hoh. My students have a iPhone for their classroom use and I want to enable closed captioning on their iPhone. We are using a webcast like iTunes U. Here is the dilemma.
    I have a Quicktime pro and was wondering how do I create captioning to ensure captioning will show up on the iPhone. I understand that most iPod/iPhone device requires SCC format so that captioning will show up.
    I am already using MovCaptioner (http://synchrimedia.com/) and the developer gave me an advanced copy that has SCC enable. I already installed a closedcaptionimporter.componment for Quicktime pro. Mostly, it has not been successful because Quicktime reads a binary numbers instead of text.
    Question,
    Is there a way around without using SCC so that captioning will show up on the iPhone/iPod?
    Why the didn't Apple have SCC codec if iPhone/iPod would have closed captioning?
    Please help, I do not understand why of all things considered. I been a loyal Apple user for years and I love the ease of using Apple. However, working with Quicktime and ensuring captioning will show up on the iPhone/iPod is such a difficult thing.
    The deaf/hoh kids needs the educational benefit and they are behind in their hearing peers. Hope you understand my dilemma and the question I am asking.
    Thanks!

    Try Muxo. SRT is a much easier format to deal with. I can't even import scc with QT Pro! I wasted time reading articles about SCC and copying tracks with QT Pro... This makes adding srt tracks to m4v's very easy:

  • Can my QuickTime Pro 7 for Windows License key be transferred to my new Mac

    I have used QuickTime Pro on Windows for the past 8-10 months.
    I have now moved from Windows to Mac. However, the Pro registration key is invalid on the Mac because it is Windows-specific.
    Will Apple convert my Windows key to a Mac key, or do I need to purchase a separate license for QT 7 Pro for Mac?

    I bought the $30 Quicktime Pro license when I had windows and now I have switched to mac and want to continue to use Quiktime Pro. I put in the license and it didn't work. I later realized why as the user above has, and it makes no sense.
    Apple should provide a work-around for this. It is not logical to make people pay more than once if they change operating systems but wish to continue using their online purchase. The download of the Quicktime client is free anyway, it is only the online pro license key which I paid for that costs money. So there is no reason to make people pay twice. That's bad business and while some companies might have this flaw, it is far from the standard for a well organized company.
    Normally when you buy a license for software online, whether that be a game or whatever you pay for the account license and then you can download whichever client you need for free. If you switch to mac or windows or whatever, your account is still good. So with apple you can download the right client for free as with others, but if you switch to mac you must pay for the license again because they keys are not consolidated into one system, even though the client is still a free download. This makes no sense economically whatsoever as the user only wants to continue to use what they have paid for at no additional cost to they company.
    Apple should either consolidate all the Quicktime Pro keys to one system or the sales department should offer a workaround of some sort. This is just not logical and for the online license key model of business and is just bad business relations as well.

  • I purchased a quicktime pro license for PC, but I can't find where to register in Quicktime 7...there's no registration option in the file menu

    Thanks Kirk...found it buried in Edit, Preferences.

  • Completely uninstall Quicktime Pro 7 for Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit

    I am trying to uninstall my Quicktime Pro 7 registration, and to not ever see it again in control panel (classic view).
    Unfortunately, there is a visible registrationcode shown for Quicktime Pro 7(somehow, it simply detected that I had Final Cut Pro installed at one point and automatically registered).
    I cannot figure out how delete Quicktime Pro, via the control panel and registry, and make it go away. Please advise.

    thanks ... I see now from your other post that you're probably getting either a "missing QuickTime.msi" message or being told that a "newer version of QuickTime" is installed when you try to go ahead and uninstall QuickTime after you're told about the Key?
    Unfortunately, these sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly this time?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • HT3820 QuickTime Pro Paid for, registered. Won't open.

    I've paid for and downloaded Quicktime Pro. Entered the registration code...and nothing happens. I still just have Quicktime 7. How do I get Pro to start running?

    Open QuickTime Player 7 (Utilities folder) and then open the About QuickTime Player 7 window.
    Is the word Pro shown on the blue Q icon?

  • Why is Quicktime Pro only for Quicktime 7??

    I just bought an upgrade to Quicktime Pro, but it is for Quicktime 7. My Mac seems to be Quicktime 10 and the instalation istructions don't work.
    Why did the Apple store sell me an upgrade that is 3 versions out of date?
    How can I get Quicktime Pro for my version of Quicktime?

    Hi there!
    I am a Mac newbie - just switched from Windows about 4 weeks ago.
    I am confused!
    My MacBook Pro came with QuickTime Player 10. I have downloade QuickTime Player 7 from the link Niel provided. I install it. But Version 10 still shows in my applications! Even after I reboot my Mac.
    I purchased the Pro upgrade and obviously cannot register it until I figure out how to get 7 to appear.
    Help! How do I get my MacBook to recognize Version 7?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

  • Quicktime Pro needed for .AVI?

    Is Quicktime Pro necessary to view .AVI videos? I'm troubleshooting my dad's Intel iMac (Core 2 Duo, 2.4GHz, running Leopard) and he only gets audio when playing back .avi files from a flash camcorder. I have an older G5 with Quicktime Pro and can play the videos with no problem.

    I have an older G5 with Quicktime Pro and can play the videos with no problem.
    Do you both have the Perian component package installed? AVI, like MOV, are just file container that may hold any of dozens of audio and video compression formats in hundreds of combinations with thousands of setting permutations. Not all compression formats are supported but as you indicate the file plays on your machine but not your father's, the most likely explanation would be a difference in the component configuration between the two machines -- i.e., either his is missing a required component or there is a conflict/inability to access the required component properly. You can troubleshoot the problem by either checking the Inspector window to see which video codec is causing the problem or simply comparing your component configuration with his to see what, if anything, is missing.

  • 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!

  • Solution for my Ipod?!

    With humble request, can anyone please help me in finding my Ipod driver. The model no. is A1137. The main problem with my Ipod is that I cannot copy/download any song from my pc(Windows Vista). I have iTtunes but it could not find my Ipod connection. Apart from this, the Ipod is working well. I would be grateful If any one could give me the solution. Cheers!

    Ok.
    1) Yeah, it probly would be. But there are better solutions.
    2) It can convert pretty much everything except Muxed files
    3) Um, Muxed files.
    So, the better solutions. What operating system are you on?
    Mac: iSquint http://www.isquint.org/ for video conversions.
    And Handbrake lite http://www.isquint.org/handbrakelite/ for DVD ripping.
    But PC? I dont really know... Someone else might...

  • Solution for some iPod/iTunes problems...

    If you are having one or more of the following problems, Windows may be confusing iPod with a network drive or hard drive and may exhibit strange behavior, like:
    -iPod does not show up in iTunes or as disk in Windows Explorer
    -iPod does not show up as disk in Windows Explorer (even though disk mode in enabled ont he iPod).
    -iTunes and Windows Explorer report the wrong amount of available space on the iPod.
    -No songs appear on the iPod after an apprently successful update from iTunes.
    -Music copied to mapped network drive instead of iPod.
    -The iPod setup assistant appears in iTunes everytime the iPod is connected.
    -iTunes displays the "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode- use iTunes to restore" message even after the iPod has been restored.
    -The wrong iPod name displays in the iTunes source list.
    Please note*changing the iPod drive letter may not affect what letter theiPod uses on subsequent connections, so its not the best long-term solution unless you want to change this everytime you have issues.
    To change the drive letter:
    -Open Control Panel in Windows
    -Go to Administrative Tools
    -Go to Computer Management
    -Go to Disk Management
    -Locate theiPod and right click on it, then click Change drive letter and paths.
    -Use the drop-down box to select a new drive letter. Make sure to use a drive letter that is not already assigned to a network drive. The drop-down menu will display all letters that are not assigned to a physical drive, but network drives will stil be listed so be careful. If you arent sure, add a new drive and pick your own letter, something way down the list is best since common drives are A, B, C, D, etc.
    -click OK
    -Click yes on the confirmation box
    -Restart computer
    Good luck!!! It worked for me!!!

    Honestly, I don't know!! I searched ITunes and IE7 and saw that others were having the same problem I was and that if they stopped using IE7 Itunes started working again.
    Basically, I was just proud of dumping Internet Explorer! See, I really love Macs. I had an ibook that finally conked out and i couldn't afford another mac.
