Quicktime won't export

I have QT 7 Pro and am running 10.3.9. i have tried for the last coupleof days to use the export feature to change formats, save pictures etc only to get a "failed <10>" in the status box shortly after "calculating time". I have deleted the QT prefs and plists and re-registered the software. I have tried everything short of reinstalling QT. Any other ideas. Thanks in advance.

As QuickTimeKirk there says at the end - and if my experience is anything to go by - it's Flip4Mac.
I tried converting a movie just now, for the first time in a while, and got the same 'fail' message you were getting, no matter what settings I used. I removed Flip4Mac (there is an uninstaller) and hey presto! Everything works as it should.
Flip4Mac worked fine doing whatever it did, but clearly there is an issue with QuickTime Pro that's not worth keeping it for.

My quicktime won't export sound with my movies

Hey,
I have quicktime 7 pro and have tried to convert my home movies into the MPEG-4 format(the only thing that itunes will read.(i have tried the quicktime format and that failed) All i want to do is have my sound go with the movie after i export. I need help.

The most frequent cause of this problem is trying to export from mpeg-1 or mpeg-2 files. QT will not export the sound from these file types.QT Mpeg Limitations
Open one of the movie in QT and then check MovieInfo. That will tell you if the format is mpeg.
If they are mpeg-1 you can use this Windows freeware to convert the mpeg-1 to uncompressed avi, which QT will read and from which it will export both sound and video. Open the mpeg-1 in VirtualDub then go to the File menu and use Save as Avi. The default export format is uncompressed. Note that such files are quite large, so if the mpegs are more than a minute or so you may need to do the conversion in segments. VDub has check marks in the window to start and stop selection of a segment and it will only export the selected portion.

Quicktime won't export my file without a watermark

I am trying to convert a wmv file into swf. I have flash and the flash video utility. But I can't bring a wmv file into flash; it has to be converted to something else first. I upgraded to Quicktime Pro today in order to do this part of it, but when I try to export it to a .mov file, I get a message from a completely different program saying I have to purchase the 'flip4mac player' before Quicktime will export without the watermark. Does quicktime not open wmv files? Why is this other program getting involved?
thanks for any help. I hate to have to buy two programs just to do a conversion.

You must purchase one of the upgrades to export to WMP formats. Right now you're using the "trial" version of the third party component.

Quicktime won't export to Itunes??

I have been using final cut express to make my videos. When I export them, I export them over to quicktime. To upload them to vimeo, they need to be below 500MB. I have always just uploaded them to Itunes which makes them smaller. I have done this for years now. Now, all of a sudden I am getting this message when I export them over to itunes:
Can’t make file "Macintosh HD:private:var:folders:iO:iOileZbUEKGVLQJbYlGoXE+++TI:-Tmp-:Butt Kicking Salmon (Computer).m4v" into type alias.
I don't understand how all of a sudden I can not do this procedure. Anyone else have this problem and how did you fix it? I have searched all over and I can not figure it out. I am also looked for Itune updates
Thanks guys!

I realize your workflow was working correctly for you, and suddenly it is not, but I think I don't understand exactly what you are doing. I am not trying to derail your thread in a non-productive direction, but to me it sounds like you are doing to many steps to do what you want . . .
Can you give a more detailed account of how you are doing your export?
What settings are you using in QuickTime conversion to convert the file?
If you are converting it to a Vimeo friendly codec and frame size, why is iTunes involved?

New Quicktime 7.6.6 (1671) won't export WAV files

HELP! - New Quicktime 7.6.6 (1671) won't export WAV files. I just did the automatic upgrade to the new version of Quicktime and now I can't export WAV files from a CAF file. The original .CAF file plays perfectly but when I attempt to export it the exported file is corrupted and won't play. I have another computer with the previous version of Quicktime and it exports the same file flawlessly. Anyone know what's going on with the new version? THANKS!

+Error writing to the file: C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesMiniPlayer.Resources\nb.lproj\iTunesMiniPlayerLocalized.dll. Verify that you have access to that directory.+
More often than not, that sort of message indicates file damage rather than a privileges issue on the file.
If you've got Windows XP, try doing a chkdsk over your C drive, as per:
How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
If you've got Vista, try the following procedure. Go "Start > Computer". Right-click on "Local Disk C:" and select "properties". Click the "Tools" tab. Click the "Check now" button in the "Error correction" section.
Do the disk checks find/repair any damage? If so, does an install go through properly afterwards?

Sequence won't export in quicktime movie

I have Final Cut Express and for some reason a sequence won't export into a Quicktime movie, but a Final Cut Express movie file.
Any ideas why this is happening?
Thanks
Barry

Thank you both for the input.
I didn't realize this. This was the first time the file I exported didn't have the Quicktime icon, or named a Quicktime File.
Does this type of file still work on Internet sites like Facebook?
Much appreciated.

QT Pro won't export to anything

I admit I'm not a video expert, but I should at least be able to get quicktime to export a video into some sort of useable format.
I recently purchased a Sony HDR-SR12. It records HD video in a format called .MTS. This format apparently hates the Mac and won't work with it. So, I downloaded a program called iSkysoft Video Converter. This would open the .MTS files and convert them to .MOV files.
However, when I open the MOV files in Quicktime, I cannot export them to anything else. Nor can I import anything into iMovie. And this is my main goal. MOV files, AVI files, WMV files... It doesn't matter. I cannot get any of these into iMovie.
I feel this is a question i should post in the iMovie forum. However, the problem seems to start with Quicktime as I cannot even export ANYTHING out of QT. All I get is "qtKitErrorCatchAll (-2166)" error codes and such.
I do have QT Pro 7.6 and am working with OS 10.5.6
Do these programs not work anymore?

OK, I tried removing all the files from the "New Event" folder and adding the MOV files in one-by-one. No dice. All I get is the folder icon and clicking on it gives me the "NO Matching Video" message.
May I assume you did open and close the iMovie application each time you added a file? (I.e., iMovie only scans the folder as the application is opening and would not detect changes in the folder contents otherwise.)
The MOV files do open in quicktime and play just fine. BUT, i can't export them into anything else. i can't even copy a small clip, load it into an empty QT file and save/export to anything w/o getting the same error i was getting in QuickTime before. It's as though QuickTime will do nothing other than play, even though I payed for Pro.
Would have to see a sample file before making any guesses here.
Could it be possible that since I bought QT Pro there's been an update, and, even though it says I have QT 7.6 Pro, it's only a player? OK, not likely if it says pro, but it's not working.
Not that I know of. Does QT Pro work normally with other foes -- i.e., can it edit, trim, copy, save, etc normally?
I mean, if I import a video and it will play, how can it be that i can't export it to anything that iMovie can see? I'm trying not to be a whiner, but this is really frustrating.
It is possible to may QT file "playback only" -- i.e., they can be played but not edited, converted, or saved. However, I just downloaded the application and ran an "evaluation" test and the file was editable, convertible, and re-saveable -- but i the file was a normal SD file as I have no AVCHD content to test.
BTW, the inspector says:
Format: Apple Intermediate Codec, 960 x 540, Millions 16 bit integer (Little Endian) Stereo (LR) 48,000 kHz
Is this what it's supposed to say? If not, any ideas as to what i should do?
Am a little confused here about your work flow. I don't see a specific output for AIC video in the iSkySoft list. So are these MOV files converted directly from AVCHD (MTS/M2TS) files copied to your hard drive or did you convert MOV (AIC/AIFF) files already captured from your camcorderby iMovie '09? Would normally expect iMovie '08/'09 imports to be AIC video with "Big" Endian order rather than "Little" Endian but QT supports both.
Basically, I have never used any of the iSkySoft applications before today so I hesitate to say much about them without more personal experience. Most Intel Mac users either get iMovie '08/'09 to import AVCHD files directly or join the PPC users in copying AVCHD to their hard drive and then converting using the Voltaic HD application which seems to have a very good reputation with many AVCHD users who post here on a regular basis.

QT won't export to WMV

I made a movie out of a powerpoint presentation, and it exported into .mov file just fine. But it won't export as a .wmv file. I've tried every one of the settings, but it only captures the first 25 seconds or so.
PPC G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) 1GHZ, 640 RAM

Export from QuickTime Pro to WMP formats is not a part of the standard QT Pro install.
It is enabled by the http://flip4mac.com component. To export more than 30 seconds you must purchase the upgrade for their product.

Quicktime fails to export video

Hi, I have quicktime pro and was trying to export some videos for my iPhone. I'm having trouble with certain movies and i'm not sure why. They are all in the same format (H.264), but some of the videos won't export video, just the audio portion. When i try to play the exported video it just shows up as a black screen with the audio playing. anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

i have the same problem!
it's frustrating the heck out of me
i think it started after the last update of iTunes & Quicktime
i can't export my videos to .m4v anymore to get them to play on ipod
i guess the encoder is broken
the option in - iTunes/advanced/make iphone compatible file - won't work - it just gives the same white video and the sound is fine.
streamclip won't work - it just fails using that encoder
i really really want to fix this!
it used to work fine
i've even tried deleting quicktime and its folder of encoders in /Library/
and then reinstalling but that hasn't helped!

Won't export slideshow

I have a slideshow with 160 photos in it. When I try to export the file as a 4:3, 720x460 quicktime movie...it won't export it. It either gets halfway, and then crashes...or chews on the whole file, but then only exports the first 15 photos in the sequence. I need to get this resolved ASAP. Please help!

Try a couple things, Jeff, to improve your likelihood of success. Make sure you have the latest Quicktime version supported by your OS. Make sure you don't have other applications running at the same time. Run your OS maintenance routines (eg, with MacJanitor) and then use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions. Make sure you have at least 10% of your hard drive free.

Quicktime won't play my .mov files since I upgraded to Mavericks.

Quicktime won't play my .mov files, even those from an iPhone, since I installed Mavericks. "Tell Me More" doesn't tell me anything about a solution. Any suggestions?

What do I do?
Frankly, if you have deleted the original movie clips from your camera/camcorder and iPhoto, then it sounds as if you are up the proverbial creek without a paddle and there is nothing further that you can do.
Some facts:
For some reason, the movieclips are awful small (13-30 KB).
640 x 480
Codecs: H.264, AAC
While these facts are of little value without file duration information, as you yourself have already noted, the file sizes quoted are extremely small. A typical VGA H.264/AAC file of reasonable quality would normally have a combined total data rate in the 700 to 1,700 Kbps range depending on specific settings, profile, and level of the encoding software and could be even higher or lower depending on the quality levels required. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that files in the 13 to 30 KB range only contain 104 to 240 Kbs and either have durations measured in fractions of seconds or do not actually contain enough data to be played. (E.g., the video data may be missing or the file is corrupted.) Thus, it is most likely that something was wrong with the workflow used to "export" your files to the external drive and when you ignored the fact that the files were not playing correctly, you closed the door on anything that you could do when you deleted the source files. (I.e., the normal workflow here is to copy the entire iPhoto library to the external drive, switch libraries, confirm the new library is working properly and only then delete the boot drive copy of the iPhoto library.)
OBS: When I try to convert the files into something else (AVI, MP4 whatever) either it comes with an error, nothing happens or the converted file wont open. This happens with various convert-programs.
If the data in the files is missing, then there is nothing to be converted by any application.

Imovie 11 Won't Export

So i have made a project on Imovie 11 and it won't export. I have no idea what the problem is but every time I try to export to quicktime its gives me and error and when I try to export to YouTube or as a movie file it won't export comming up with the "heap zone" error. I know that some of you will say "try to lower the resolution" or "split the movie in two" but it is only 5 minutes long, it contains no video only pictures voice overs and music from itunes, and it has some special effects with the picture color (hard light) and the globe effect where it shows the travel from one point to another on a globe.

The project has 39 video clips. I removed all the music, transitions & text. It's only those clips on the timeline. Some of them have effects added, but I can't see how that would stop it from creating the XML file. I know that the original effects & transitions won't reflect in the XML file once it's opened in another program... all I want is the video files to show up on the timeline!! I noticed today that when I view the Project Library, this particular project has 'HD1080' beside it & the others have 'HD780'. But again, that shouldn't make a difference??!!

Podcast won't export from Garageband to iWeb

Hi all
Help appreciated with this. I do a two hour music podcast (www.whatyouwantradio.com also available at http://soundcloud.com/whatyouwant-radio) which is created in Garageband and then exported to iWeb for uploading to my website. I've been running this, with few problems, since April 2009.
Recently the garageband podcast won't export to iWeb. It's random, and I seem to have been able to bypass it by changing the filename slightly, or adjusting the quality at which it is exported (I like to export at 320mps for best quality - big files but no complaints from the 100 or so listeners. Could be more - who knows as I can't get stats from iTunes. But I digress). However, the most recent podcast, which is already available on Soundcloud, just won't export. It goes through the motions (mixdown etc.) but nothing appears on iWeb on the other side. No error message, nothing. I know that memory has also been an issue in the past but right now there is plenty to spare (5.37GB at last glance).
I'd really be grateful for some help on this, I'm at a bit of a loss - no error message, no clue. As I say, this podcast has been going for nearly three years and it's only recently I've had this problem.
Cheers,
Stuart

Just a further note on this. I tried a couple more times yesterday to export the file. Starting out with over 5GB of memory, by the time I had tried twice this had gone down by a couple of GB. Still no export. This morning I noticed some new files in the trash that were from around the time of the failed exporting:
Note sure if you can see that, but I'm guessing the files are something to do with the failed export? Does anyone have any thoughts? Either way, this problem is still annoying the **** out of me...

OMF won't export out of final cut pro.

Exporting a 93min 1920x1080 HD timeline to OMF
5 second handles tried 2 second handles as well.
OMF won't export out of final cut pro. Get error message there is a 2 gb limit.
Final cut 6.0.6
Have deadline. Didn't see it on any forum. Help!! Thanks!!

Seems like a weird thing to not be able to do since it's called final cut PRO...
Bagging on Final Cut Pro for OMF? HA! OMF has been around LONG BEFORE FCP was introduced. It isn't an FCP issue...OMF technology is VERY old. Over 20 years I believe. I used it on Avid...and it always had a 20GB limit.
You cannot deliver 1 track via OMF. You can ask the audio person. I know that Avid now allows you to export an AAF...but FCP doesn't do AAF. For embedded audio I think that OMF is the only way. SO you have to work within the limitations of that format.

Quicktime won't start on Windows 7

Hi all
I'm running Windows 7 (32bit) and lately Quicktime won't launch. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing but there's no difference. I get an event log error shown below when trying to run it as an Administrator in case that was the problem.

iTunes won't run either, but I'm guessing this is due to the Quicktime issue? I've tried uninstalling both and just installing standalone Quicktime but it still won't run.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Perfect, thanks.
Faulting module name: unknown, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x00000000
Unknown module for iTunes, QuickTime not launching either ... nowadays the first thing I check for with that combo is if another application (other than QuickTime) has dropped old QuickTime componentry in non-standard locations on your PC.
First we'll adjust some view settings on the PC.
1. From the Start menu, click Open.
2. In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
3. Click the View tab.
4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
5. Click OK.
Now, in Computer, open your C drive (or whichever drive your operating system is installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "System32" folder.
What files or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file or folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)
