QuickTime Pro Video Capture

I cant seem to figure out how to capture video from a USB capture card to QuickTime Pro. I know I installed it correctly, but no video that is supposed to pop up ever did when i finished appling QuikTime Pro settings. I can barily tell a diference, and i need to know how to capture video to QuickTime Pro. Please let me know if a wasted my money.

Even the Mac version of QuickTime Pro can't capture "on screen" events. We use third party software for those tasks just like Windows users.
QuickTime Pro "Record" (New Video Recording - Mac only or New Audio Recording - Mac or PC) works with the built in devices found on a Mac (iSight camera) or external devices meeting the requirements (usually Firewire connection).
I use SnapzProX on my Mac (about $70) to record on screen events. Similar products for Windows sell for as little as $20.

Quicktime Pro Video Recording Times Out

When I use the new Quicktime Pro video record feature, it times out after approx. 15 minutes.
Anyway to extend this?
Thanks!
Bill

I haven't seen a time out like that, but perhaps it's related to reaching a 2 GB file size. You might try later QuickTime, or different compression settings to keep the file smaller.

White screen after Quicktime Pro 7 captures

I use an automator script in combination with iCal and Quicktime Pro 7.6.6 to capture video content overnight from a commercial satellite. Most mornings when I wake the screen from sleep (I don't put the processor to sleep) Quicktime Pro has successfully capture the program, but the video window that's open on the screen is pure white (just within Quicktime - the remainder of the desktop is normal). Pressing play will begin to play the video; you just can't see anything except white, though you can hear the audio. I have to quit Quicktime and then open the video document again to see the perfectly normal video. Same is true of any other video file on my hard drive. If I don't quit and restart Quicktime, all I get is a white video window. I'm wondering if this is related to the fact that my iMac 24 screen is asleep when the capture process is taking place.
Any suggestions?

After upgrading to 7.1, i noticed this problem as well. The sound plays fine, but all i see is a white video. This only happened for videos using an H.264 Decoder or MPEG4 decompressor (.mp4, .m4v, most .mov files). However, the picture was fine while playing any other file type (.avi, .mpg, .mpeg, .swf).
I then figured out a way to fix this problem. If you go into A/V controls and move any of the four sliders under "Video" (Brightness, Color, Contrast, Tint), the video will play fine. It doesn't matter which slider/how many you move, nor does it matter how much you move the slider. If at least one of the sliders isn't centered, the video will play. The only problem with this is that you have to do it every time you watch a video, which can get annoying.
Also, after reading this thread, I disabled Direct3D video acceleration as mentioned above, which worked wonderfully! Thank you!
So, really the only purpose of this post is to provide more information so Apple can fix it in their next release of QT.

QuickTime Pro Video Conversion

I know i just posted about video capture, but i also have a question about how to convert video types to a different type. Please again let me know if i wasted my money.

QuickTime Pro does not export to MPEG-1. But it can view them.
I guess that you mean WMP (Windows Media Player) formats and the Windows version of QuickTime Player doesn't open those formats. The Mac version uses third party software (Flip4Mac) that allows some WMP formats be viewed inside QuickTime Player.
Why do you want to convert to MPEG-1? What is the goal of this conversion?
Toast from Roxio can create MPEG-1 files from numerous video formats.

QuickTime Pro Video Controls

I have upgraded to QuickTime Pro but the video controls in "A/V Controls" are not functioning. Solutions? Thanks.

Are you saying that even if I can display the A/V control panel, if the controls are not highlighted for me to adjust brightness, etc , its because of my graphics card?

Quicktime Pro Video to iPod Problem-desperate

I know a lot of dicussions have touched on this, but no matter how much I look I cannot find an answer to my problem of the video from my digital camera via Qicktime Pro 7 not exporting to a movie format on my hard drive. I export it, a file appears on desktop and then I double click it to check it. Then Windows says that it needs me to choose a program. I choose Quicktime Pro 7. Then I get a message saying file isn't a movie. Please help a brother here. Thanks!!!

Stephen
Check the Properties of your converted movie in Quicktime Pro 7.
It should look something like this :
http://www.arc-facilities-edinburgh.co.uk/ipod/settings.jpg
This is from a converted movie which plays in iTunes and loads to the iPod fine.
Note you should have one video track encoded in H264 up to 768 kilobits per second and one audio track encoded in AAC up to 160 kilobits per second
Alternatively you can use mp4 (MPEG-4) for your pictures up to 2.5 megabits per second
Let us know if your movie properties are any different.

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.

Quicktime Pro Video Tutorials

Not more than 1 or 2 months ago there were some video tutorials on developer.apple.com, teaching people how to create hinted movies, and basic editing with QT pro. In those videos appeared (apple employees) people that work on the QT platform. The videos were linked off apple's main website, but I can't remember where. I've searched all over the place, but with the new website layout things are not where they used to be.
Any hints would be appreciated.
Thanks!

thanks for trying, but no. i know how to login to developers.apple.com; i have an account. what i'm looking for is video tutorials on how to use QT pro made by apple employees that work on the QT platform. i was able to find those on the main apple.com QT page!?, than i was directed to developers.apple.com to d/l those videos.

Quicktime 10 video capture

Hello,
Is it true that Quicktime 10 includes the facility to record, as a movie, any video one happens to be watching on the monitor - e.g. a programme on BBC's iPlayer?
Thanks for your help...BC

Bought Quicktime pro, videos still wont go to ipod

am i doing something wrong here, is there a trick, i just played 30 bucks and i follow the instuctions for converting the files and the videos still wont go onto my ipod, help anyone please!

If you're using the export to iPod setting on QT Pro have a look at your completed movie properties and see if they look like this :
http://www.arc-facilities-edinburgh.co.uk/ipod/settings.jpg
(from a converted movie that looks good and loads onto iPod fine)
You should have one video track H264 format at less than 768 kbps
one audio track AAC encoded at less than 160 kbps.
Don't ask me why the video is 300 x 240 rather than 320 x 240!
If you're using MP4 instead post your settings, you may have something wrong.

QuickTime Pro Video fade-in fade-out How To?

Hello
I am a newcomer and I would like to know if it is possible to do between two video clips a fade-out and a fade-in? If not what could be a possible alternative solution?
Many many thanks for all your support.
Bernd

For each text box you need place it on it's own video track stacked above each other.You can then define the position, fades, and opacity for each individual title.
Cheers,

How do I Capture Streaming video with Quicktime Pro?

In Lamonts post about converting video for the iPod, it was pointed out that one can capture streaming video (Steve Jobs Keynote speech for instance), with Quicktime Pro. I have QT7.04 Pro, but don't know how to do this simple thing. Can someone please tell me?
Smartmart

it's possible. i did it myself, after a few tryouts.
i still can't get the best result, but i got something.
first of all you have to save the streaming file(thru the save as qt movie, from CTRL-click). when you get a stream it gets cached on your computer. you might playback it even when offline. so if all that you need is a simple playback, that's ok. but it's a cache, sometime the system will erase it from your HD.
if you want to keep it as a qt file(or any other format) thats this is the deal. when you save the stream file, it saves a reference file(4kb) that reads the cache. you cannot recover them from the cache, not even by changing the termination, because the qt player won't recognize the .qtch files transformed into .mov.
open the file(reference you saved before), choose export from the file menu, and choose the setting that you want. i still don't get a good quality(i know it's incredible that a stream file has a better quality...) and i still have to export the video separated from the audio. but if you need only the moving image to edit a homevideo, and your only source is a stream, it's a start.
so if anyone feel like growing the knowledge tree, let's go ahead.

Do I need Quicktime Pro to run Elgato Video Capture?

I purchased Elgato Video Capture device for archiving old alalogue video etc. On installation and installing updates I recieved a message saying:
Elgato Video Capture cannot run because an old version of the 3vix QuickTime component is installed.
Please upgrade or uninstall the 3vix QuickTime component. More info at http://www.3ivx.com/ .
I run Quicktime 10.0 on a macbook pro which has always been reliable. Should I really remove the 3vix component or will this affect my Quicktime player. I could download Quicktime Pro but at a further cost of 29 USD (about 17 GBP sterling ?)
Anyone any advice?
Thanks

Remove the component. QuickTime 10 can't use it anyway.
You don't need the "Pro" upgrade of QuickTime Player 7.

Recovering Lost Video Capture in QuickTime Pro

I've got Mac Pro with QuickTime Pro.
I just recorded over an hour of a live presentation with a camcorder hooked up to the Mac Pro via Firewire, using QuickTime Pro's "record" button. I've done this kind of recording many times before and never had a problem. I would hit the record button at the beginning, hit the stop button at the end, and have a QuickTime file on my desktop of the complete video.
But this time QuickTime crashed over an hour into the presentation. Now I'm left with a 0 kilobyte QuickTime file on my desktop. If I try to open it, QuickTime tells me "This is not a movie file".
So where is the ~60 minutes of footage that was captured before QuickTime crashed? Is it hidden away in some obscure capture scratch folder? Is it in a playable format? Is there any way to recover it? Any way at all!?
Thanks so much to anyone who can offer some advice. This is an important video that can't be recorded again since it was a one-time live presentation. I should have put a tape in the camera as a backup but I didn't. You live and you learn.

The file is gone.
Sorry.
