Quicktime Pro Windows export problem

Whenever I try to export a video in Quicktime Pro, I always get "Error -43: A file could not be found."
What is wrong with this thing? I've tried everything I can think of. How do I solve this?

Let's start with some basics:
What version of QuickTime?
What is the format of the original file?
Does that file play, in it's entirety, in QuickTime?
To what format are you attempting to export the video?

Midi Files Don't Work In FCE..and I don't have Quicktime pro to export it

Hi there,
I am working on a project in Final Cut Express 1.0.1
I have a MIDI sound file that will not import into the application. Also, I don't have quicktime pro to export that file to a mp3 or aiff.
Does anybody know if their is a free plugin that will allow me to export my midi file or import it into Final Cut.

Try this, it may work -
Set iTunes Preferences > Importing > Import Using > AIFF Encoder
Set the AIFF Encoder preferences to 16 bit, stereo, 48KHz
Add the MIDI file to your iTunes library. This may convert your Midi file to AIFF.
If not, once the MIDI file is in your iTunes library,
Select the MIDI file in your iTunes library
Go to the Advanced menu and select 'Convert to AIFF'
Then export the AIFF file to your hard drive
Then import the AIFF into FCE

Windows Vista & ISight - QuickTime Pro/Windows Movie Maker issues

I recently bought a MacBook Pro and I really like, but I am having one small issue that is really confusing me. Basically, I installed Windows Vista using BootCamp and I also installed all BootCamp drivers successfully. This basically allows me to use ISight for some chat applications (e.g. Live Messenger). However, I can't access ISight through QuickTime Pro Windows Movie Maker. Are those not compatible?
If not, what other options do I have? Basically, I am looking for some software to record ISight video for my family. And, yes, I know there is good software on the OSX side which I am already using, but I also would like to have to option to use some video editing software I already own on Windows.
Thanks,
Jens

windtalker64, if it's a .mov you cannot take it into movie maker, it has to be converted to a .avi for movie maker to accept it. I used QT pro to convert a .mov to a .avi, took it into movie maker and it then became a .wmv, which is what I was trying to do. I'm going back 3 years ago when I did this so unless things have changed?

Audio upsampling in Quicktime Pro: Best export settings for Final Cut?

I'm using Quicktime Pro to convert audio from 32 kHz to 48 kHz, for use in FCE/FCP. Quicktime gives me several options for export settings. I want to make the conversion lossless, without increasing the size of the audio file too much.
These are the settings I'm using so far:
Format: Linear PCM
Channels: Stereo (L R)
Rate: 48 kHz
Sample Rate Converter Settings: Quality: Best
Linear PCM Settings: Sample size: 16 bits
Are these settings the best choices? Does anyone have experience doing this kind of upsampling?
Here are the other options in Quicktime:
Format: Linear PCM, A-Law 2:1, IMA 4:1, MACE 3:1, MACE 6:1, QDesign Music 2, Qualcomm PureVoice, and mu-Law 2:1
Channels: 2 Discrete Channels, Mono, Stereo (L R)
Rate: there are other choices, but I know 48 kHz is what I want
Advanced Settings:
Sample Rate Converter Settings: Faster, Fast, Normal, Better, Best
Linear PCM Settings (when Linear PCM is the format): 8 bit, 16 bit, 24 bit, 32 bit (floating point checked), 32 bit (floating point unchecked).
The file size grows quickly as you increase the Linear PCM bit settings.

You can't create something that is not in the file.
Moving from 32kHz to 48 will only make the file size
larger and can't improve the audio.
Doesn't FCP or FCE import your file at 32. Or does it
change it to 48 after import?
I am aware that increasing the audio from 32 kHz to 48 kHz will not improve the quality of the audio. And yes, Final Cut Pro and Express will both capture and allow you to work witih 32 kHz audio.
I have several hours of video shot with 32 kHz audio settings that I'd prefer to have stored on disk with 48 kHz audio, because (a) some applications like iMovie have demonstrated problems with 32 kHz audio in the past, and (b) the majority of my video is shot with 48 kHz audio, so my 32 kHz video will eventually end up in a 48 kHz project, leaving the upsampling to Final Cut. Yes, I do eventually plan to burn my projects to DVD as well, but this isn't an immediate concern.
The problem with doing the conversion in Final Cut is this: Some of the people knowledgeable about Final Cut Pro and Express recommend doing the upsampling using Quicktime or another application, instead of using Final Cut, because Final Cut may not do as good a job as Quicktime. So my intention is to upsample the audio now in preparation for later projects. I don't completely understand why Final Cut wouldn't do as good of a job at upsampling, but a couple of experienced users in the FCP and FCE forums have independently corroborrated this.
Thanks to everyone for their helpful posts and responsiveness.

QuickTime Pro audio exporting error - help please!

So I've got Perian installed to read 1080p HD movies and I opened up .mkv files in QuickTime Pro and allowed it to read the files into memory (let the grey bar go for a few minutes). Once that was done, I wanted to export the DTS 5.1 surround sound audio track to .AIF format and do a pass through encoding of the video only. After this, I use MAX to convert the .AIF file into an AC3 file which I add back into the video only to create the final .mp4 file with 5.1 sound. I've done this successfully before and I prefer this method to downconverting the 5.1 audio into stereo sound when converting the .mkv to .mp4. This time however, QuickTime Pro miserably failed. I have Avatar in 1080p and The Lord of the Rings trilogy in 1080p as well and I wanted to convert them to .mp4 the same way I've done before. All of them failed with the same error. When I tried to export the audio, I believe it said, "qtKiterrorcatchall (-1309)" and it failed. It said this for all of the videos and strangely enough, it worked great with another .mkv movie I had perfectly with audio and video tracks in the same formats. Does anyone know how I can fix this and export the audio track so I can preserve the surround sound and put it back into the .mp4 video file? Many thanks...

I'm having the same problem. Were you able to get an response or and answer to this problem? Thanks

Quicktime Pro Windows 7 not saving

I have a valid registration code, and name, that I am entering exactly as it was purchased. The code, when entered, validates, and changes from "Buy QuickTime Pro" to "QuickTime Pro 7". That said, none of the Pro features are available. When I go back to the registration preference, the information is empty and I need to re-enter it. The information isn't being saved, though it is valid.
I am running QuickTime 7.7.5, and Windows 7 (because my government job is anti-Apple hardware...) Is there a place where it is failing to connect to a server, or is there a registry where this information is supposed to be getting saved, but isn't. I've been on phone support for 2 hours with 4 different people, none fo them could assist me.

Unsure about why it's not remembering Time and Date but as for ethernet, in your setup WiFi seems to be your default. Change the default to ethernet. But that doesn't work so try disabling the Wifi card in Device Manager. Obviously, ethernet IS working so I don't know why your changes are not recorded.
Which Boot Camp drivers did you install? Maybe you could look at updating these if they are not the latest, 3.0.1 from the Snow Leopard DVD.
I suppose I should say here that I have neither of these problems with Win7. Unfortunately, I don't have my W7 machine here to check my details.

QuickTime Pro audio sync problems

Hi, when I edit my videos in QuickTime Pro, the more I cut sections out from a video, the more the audio is out of sync from the video as it progresses; so at the start it is fine and in sync, but at the end the video and audio is not in sync at all. The video is fine before I start editing with no sync problems, it's only when i cut parts out. How can I get around this problem?
Thanks

ok, I output a lot of footage using quicktime conversion so I can edit in after effects or output for the web. I usually use the animation or h264 codec but the problem still persists regardless of which codec I use. < </div>
If the relationship between the tracks does not change over the length of the clip, that is, the audio doesn't drift more, your clip's tracks are actually in sync. One of the tracks, video or audio, has been set to start sooner or later than the other. I have no idea how that can happen, sorry, but I'm going to suggest the solution is going to be much less complicated than you might think: it's going to be a simple user error. We all have them.
It's a binary search, then, no way to shortcut it.
You try to find a good export and figure out what's different between a good one and a bad one.
Hope you get better advice on how to debug it.

Video conversion using Quicktime Pro (Which Export Settings?)

I tried converting videos (.avi) to .m4v so that I can play them on my iPod Touch. However I am having problems.
iPod Touch documentation says that the following video file formats are supported by iPod touch:
A H.264 (Baseline Profile Level 3.0)
B MPEG-4 (Simple Profile)
My question is:
1. Can anyone show me how can i covert to those format using Quicktime Pro? And please do let me know which exact EXPORT setting I am supposed to use. I used EXPORT> Movie to iPod . It did not seem to work.
Thanks in Advance.

I use it on a 24" iMac C2D running at 2.33GHz with 3GB of RAM, and it's much quicker than a regular QT export and a bit quicker than VisualHub. I won't quote a time to encode a "2 hour movie" because there's a lot more factors involved like resolution and original file encoding but the device is faster than using the twin cores.
No, it won't work with Handbrake, nor VisualHub for that matter. It acts as a plug-in (albeit hardware) for QT and any application that uses QT for export can utilise the turbo.264.
One other (for me big) advantage is that Elgatos own software for using the turbo.264 supports AppleScript and hence Automator.

Quicktime Pro - Windows 8 - installs, but refuses to run!?

I've uninstalled and re-installed Quicktime (and iTunes) several times already. I've run CCleaner to clean up any remaining pieces and re-installed afterwords. Nothing is solving my problem.
Quicktime (Pro) installs fine on my system. However, when I run it, nothing happens. If I check the task manager, I see Quicktime.exe using 0% CPU.
If I double click on a .mov file, the same thing happens.
This is a system I use for my work and I deal with MOV files every day of the week, so this is a big problem.
Does anyone have an idea what could be done to fix it?
Thanks,
Paul

Disable any internet security temporarily and then give it a try, that could be stopping QT from opening? If not try opening QT by going to C:\Program Files\QuickTime and double click on QuickTimePlayer exe. I'm assuming you're trying to open from a desktop shortcut icon, that may be corrupted?

Quicktime Pro Windows - Invalid Registration

Hi, I couldn't find anything about this, so I'm trying here. Mods, please move in the right area.
I bought a QuickTime Pro key for Windows back in 2004. It's no longer appearing in my order history and apparently Apple got rid of the purchased software page that had the key.
I do have my old email for it but when I enter that information it says "invalid registration key"
Anyone have any ideas what to do? I can't seem to contact Apple support about it either. There's never an option for this...
Thanks!

Make sure you're entering in _both_ the user name and key code _exactly_ as in the email Apple sent you. Any error in either, including leaving off a salutation (for instance, if the email says "Mr. John Smith") will cause the registration to fail.
Also make sure you did indeed purchase a key for Windows. QuickTime keys are not cross-platform.
Hope this helps.

Quicktime Pro Windows - Why are Trimmed Movies Being Saved at Player Size?

When I trim a video clip (ProRes 422 HQ) in Quicktime Pro 7 Windows, and re-save it as a self contained movie, it seems to save the trimmed clip at the current image size of the player window.
Based on the size of the new file, it seems like the full-size data is there, but the file's properties are somehow being tagged to play back at a reduced image size. (This is confusing some of the NLEs I'm trying out.)
Can this property be undone? So the clip is always trimmed and saved to play back at the original image size? Thanks.

If it matters, I have a Canon camcorder and imported the clips using a firewire cable. The external drive is connected via a second firewire cord to the other firewire port.

Quicktime Pro Registration Code Problems

Hello,
I'm new here and also couldn't find the "Post New Topic" button. Thank goodness somebody started a thread about it and had a link.
Anyhoo,
I just downloaded Quicktime Pro 7 for Windows and received the registration code, followed the directions, copied and pasted the registration code and it seems to be invalid.
What's my next step?
Thank you,
Awakening

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Actually, I just figured it out. It was something ridiculously simple which is what I thought and that was what was driving me nuts.
When I tried to register the product, I used my internet handle like I always do and since I have my real name hooked up to an Apple account through ITunes, it wasn't the registration code they didn't recognize, it was my name. It just popped into my head to try that.
Good thing too, because Quicktime Tech support has bankers hours and are not available on the weekends.
Thanks for the reply.

Quicktime Pro audio synchronization problem when recording

My hardware is an Intel Based Macbook Pro with the latest Quicktime Pro S/W.
I have just upgraded to Quicktime Pro and I am trying to record video from a DV source (Canon camera acting in AV in/DV out mode). The problem I am experiencing is that the video and audio are out of sync by around 1 second, th sound seems to be in advance of the video.
Are there any setting which will affect this?
Has anyone been able to solve a similar problem?

I don't know what causes the problem, but I can give you a way to solve it:
Open your DV file with latest version 3.0 of SimpleMovieX and open the tools panel, go to Audio, and resynchronize it.
The do save, either as mov or reexport as dv format, depending on your workflow.

QuickTime Pro 7 Export Failed qtKitErrorCatchAll (-49)

I'm trying to do some converting of Webex WRF recordings over to QuickTime for loading onto a Citrix GoToWebinar account. Process takes three passes and is as follows:
- WRF to WMV on Windows (that's all WebEx provides)
- WMW to MP4 on Windows (can't convert WMVs on a Mac for free)
- MP4 to MOV with QuickTime on a Mac for Citrix upload (have to use QuickTime Pro 7 because of output options)
The Citrix support .MOV format must be H.264, AAC, Hinted Streaming to upload properly. Some files have converted alright, but now I'm getting the error above in the subject.
Any help? Thanks
Eric

I had the exact same thing. And this error drove me crazy. And it occurred out of pure random. I found a solution which at least works for me:
Make sure "NotificationCenter" is "correctly" running.
Hope this fixes the issue for others as well.

Quicktime Pro Reg Key Problem

I purchased an upgrade to Quicktime Pro and followed instructions on entering the reg #. While trying to open Quicktime Control Panel I get the following error mesage;
an exception occurred while trying to run C:\WINDOWS\system32.dll Control_RunDLL C:WINDOWS\system32\QTW32.cpl, Quicktime32
I've uninstalled and reinstalled Quicktime, same results.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This may not work in later versions of iTunes that import both sound and video.
In version 2, which is what I use, I just have to go to the Advance menu and choose "Convert to AIFF" and then navigate to the movie file. iMovie should be able to import the AIFF format but you may have to first go to the iTunes preferences and set the Importing section to AIFF. Afer the import you should be able to use "Show Song File" to open the directory in which it has been placed. Put a copy in a convenient place for import into iMovie.
