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.

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.

Video recording time, 8GB vs. 32GB

Hi all,
I'm planning to purchase an iPod Touch and need to pick which model. I don't need all my CDs on the thing and photos will cycle on & off, but it would be nice to shoot some video on vacation. Can anyone tell me how much HD video recording time capacity is available in an 8GB vs. 32GB iPod Touch? Another way of asking would be - How much memory is required for 1 minute of HD video?
Also, I can offload photos from my camera to my iPod Classic (5g). Can I offload photos or video from my (future) iPod Touch to my iPod Classic. Plenty of room on an iPod Classic, until you drop it.
Thanks,
Scott

I found a prior thread that answers this.

How much video record time do I have on iphone6

how much video record time do I have on iPhone 6

Your basic limitation is how much free storage space is left on the phone (found in Settings / General / Usage). How much time does each GB equate to depends on how you are shooting. The i6 shoots at 30 fps by default but can be set to do so at 60 fps. Plus you can shoot at regular speed or slow motion. Unfortunately, Apple does not publish exact specs on the device manual, so you'll have to do some test shots and see how much they take and extrapolate from that.
BTW, the iPhone 6/6+ manual is found here (or you can download it for free in the iBooks app)

Using built in isight with quicktime pro to record video

After upgrading to mountain lion, my ip camera video feeds time out

I've been using my iMacs for a few years to monitor six ip Camera video feeds. The cameras I use are both FOSCAM and AXIS brands. I've used a few third party software solutions to do the monitoring, but I could also always use Safari to access a camera at a time by putting that camera's IP address in the address field and logging into the camera.
After upgrading to Mountain Lion, my video feeds started timing out when using DComplex's IP Camera Viewer, so I thought initially it was strictly an issue with that third party app. However, I then logged into my cameras using Safari and they timed out as well. Similarly, when using Axis Camera viewer, my video feeds would time out. It seems as whatever the issue, it does not affect Firefox, because I can still login and monitor 1 feed at a time using that browser without any timeout issues, and for some odd reason, the FOSCAM only program uFoscam works, but the problem for me with that app is that it only works with Foscam, and not the Axis cameras (besides it's an inferior program to IP Camera Viewer in my opinion as well).
Has anyone encountered this problem and come up with a solution? I'm thinking it's some sort of plugin or video codec problem, but it's well above my paygrade to figure it out.

I'm having the same problem with both my Vivotek wired network camera and Panasonic wireless network cameras. At first I thought this was an issue with the video framework in Mountain Lion, but if Firefox is working (I haven't tried it yet), it sounds like it may be an objective-c video library that has been changed. It's possible Firefox is using an objective-c interface that calls an objective-c function that isn't called by Safari or IP Camera Viewer, etc., (possibly a function that is on its way to be deprecated) or Firefox could use it's own library that directly calls the video framework.
Could be the Mountain Lion objective-c framework has a buffering issue.
Since this is occuring in both 3rd party software and Apple software, it sounds like it's an Apple issue. 3rd party applications typically utilize the Apple Developer objective-c frameworks to access video frameworks/libraries (for example, MJPEG). Thus, contacting 3rd party developers may not solve the situation (unless they can figure out a temporary bandaid--possibly figuring out the video framework call that Firefox uses and patching their software to do the same (not a simple task), but could still provide more feedback to Apple via their developer status.
Has anyone attempted to record from their cameras via iMovie or Final Cut Pro X HD? I will try mine later tonight to see if it records the hanging. If it does, then it's looking more and more like Apple's the culprit.
My suggestion is for everyone to file a bug report via http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

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 - New Video Recording using Canon HV30 - Codec?

I'm using Quicktime Pro 7.4.1 with a Canon HV30 connected via firewire. In Quicktime preferences pane, the HV30 is the video source with "Device Native" as the Quality setting. Though, I can't see a preview in the Quicktime window while recording, it does appear to record footage. When I stop the recording, it says that I don't have the codec to view the footage and sends me to the Quicktime plug-in page on this site, but I have no idea what I need.
Considering some of the codecs (if not all of them) cost money, I'd rather not buy something that won't fix my problem. Anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: Oh yeah, the camera is set to HDV 1080i60 video standard. When I switch the camera to SDV, the Quicktime preview returns and everything works as expected.

I am using Quicktime Pro on an iMac running Mac OS X 10.6.5. Quicktime will work with iSight but not with my PS3 eye (usb webcam). I am able to choose the PS3 eye from Quicktime preferences and the video screen will show up with video from the PS3 eye (so I know that Quicktime recognizes the cam). But the error dialogue box appears immediately.
Other information - I am using macam.component for Quicktime and the PS3 eye works perfectly with Macam.
Welcome to Discussions, a2043
Has anyone received this error before?
I have not, but I do not use PS3 eye. If it is a "UVC" (usb video class) device, it should work with any Mac running Mac OS X 10.4.9 or later _without additional software drivers_. Some unnecessary drivers can conflict with your Mac's software.
If desired, you can remove the file macam.component from /Library/QuickTime and restart Mac to see if the PS3 eye can work with QuickTime without the additional driver.

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: poor record quality

I've been trying to record into Quicktime Pro from my DV camera and find the resulting picture quality to be really bad (audio is fine). It's so bad it's pretty unusable. Compared to recording into iMovie the comparison is huge. Even exporting from iMovie as an mp4 is considerably better.
Reading about the H264 codec I expected better, or has the codec got nothing to do with Quicktime's record feature? Maybe there's something I need to do that I'm not. Tried the various settings in preferences - doesn't help. Can anyone enlighten?
Thanks.

This feature is basically a QT Pro 7 "after-thought." While performance has dramatically improved with each upgrade, you are still basically using a unstable, non-dedicated utility. Remember, when not using "Device Native," you are both capturing and converting "on-the-fly." If you want quality, use a dedicated application and reconvert as needed. If all you need is a simple capture utility, try Vidi (free).

N70 CAMERA VIDEO RECORD TIME

Hi

Hi Rajesh
Open the slide to start the camera. Select Options; Video Mode.
The icon in the bottom right corner of the viewfinder shows what quality level is selected for video capture. It will either be MP4 or 3GP.
Select Options; Settings; Video Quality. The phone usually ships with High set as the default, which means MP4 format. Normal quality means 3GP, so you'll get much more recording time.
Sharing quality is 3GP but is limited in length so that the recorded file is small enough to be sent by MMS - this is an operator requirement. The capture resolution is also lower than High quality, so it won't reproduce as crisply.
Ultimately you have to select the right quality level to suit your needs. Do you want to play back on a pc, or do you want to be able to send the file as an MMS?
On my N70 with 30MB free memory, I can get the following recording times:
High - 8mins 50 secs
Normal - 35mins 13 secs
Sharing - 0mins 35 secs
Hope this helps.

Quicktime Pro Screen recording

I have purchased and downloaded quicktime pro but when I click on file there is only movie and audio recording. Screen recording is not there. Can anyone help?

Can anyone help?
No. As indicated by its absence in the product description, screen recording is not a feature of QT 7. Use QT X instead.
