Reduce file QT size with Quicktime Pro ?

Hi
I have a digital camera saving videos under the Quicktime format. Files are too big to be sent by e-mail and therefore I would like to reduce their size. I can not find sharewares allowing such operation for files under Quicktime format. Does the Quictime Pro version allows this ?
thanks

Yes.
QuickTime Pro allows you to edit the file and export it using other compression schemes to reduce file size.
But you really need to find out the format of the files on your camera. Use the Movie Inspector window to view your file. If it is MPEG-1 QuickTime is the wrong tool. MPEG Streamclip (free) can edit MPEG-1 files and export them to QuickTime formats.

  • 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.

  • I am buying a new macbookpro which comes with Lion.  Lion has Quicktime X.  Logic Studio comes with Quicktime Pro 7.  Do I have to download Quicktime 7, or will Logic Studio work fine with the Quicktime X player?  Will there be a Quicktime Pro X soon?

    your new lion-machine should have quicktime 7, too. if it doesn't, and if it doesn't show up after you migrated your stuff from you old machine you can always reinstall it from the logic dvd's, it's part of logic. my recommendation is to always use quicktime 7, since it's got many features that are absent in quicktime x. quicktime x is nothing but a polished video player. in quicktime 7 (pro, comes with logic) you can even do edits and paste your music onto video files. i use it all the time, especially since logic 64bit doesn't export to video anymore.

  • Help! I cannot play VCD with QuickTime Pro.

    I tried to open a .DAT file with QuickTime Pro which alerted me with the following message:
    QuickTime cannot open the file AVESQ04.DAT it is not a file that Qucik Time understands (-2048).
    However, I read the Help in apple.com, they said it should work. What did I do wrongly???

    I have found that if you copy the DAT files to your hard drive, and then change the "DAT" to "MPG" in the file name that Quicktime will play them.
    It's been a while, so if I am wrong and "MPG" doesn't work, try "MOV" instead.
    I'm pretty sure it was MPG though.
    I remember I did this a long time ago, and it worked great.

  • Capturing with QuickTime Pro?

    I have much problems with capturing in FCE: missing frames, out of sync audio, one cassette ok - the second with problems.
    Now I capture with QuickTime Pro and import in FCE.
    Is this procedure ok?

    Excuse me, I forgot: several miniDV cassettes from two different cameras. The camera I use for capturing is yet another (Medion MD 9090) camera.
    With iMovie there is no problem to capture but I have learned this is not the right way.
    With QuickTime Pro there is also no problem, so I use it now.
    Can there any problems using QTP for capturing instead of using FCE?

  • How do i tell the finder to open all of my .m4v files to open with quicktim

    How do i tell the finder to open all of my .m4v files to open with quicktime, not itunes. i tryed right clicking on it and choosing other and selecting quicktime then checking the box that says "always open with" but that only pertains to that one file not all of them.

    Right click and choose "get info" then choose quicktime from the "open with" drop down menu.
    Then below that you will see "Change all" click that and your done.

  • REDUCE FILE SIZE with Acrobat Pro

    Hi everyone!
    I  created a epk for a rock band  with Illustrator then I created one pdf that contains the all three pages with Acrobat Pro (I downloaded the trial because it was just for this occasion) This epk is a pdf file with 3 pages, some pictures and hyperlinks.
    I need to send the epk to the band and they want a reduced size one. The original is 8.3 M but obviously it's too big to be sent via email.
    I have been trying with the option SAVE AS -  REDUCED SIZE PDF but it doesn't work! Still the same size.
    I am new to acrobat so maybe I am missing something.
    HELP!
    Thanks

    Hi michelab,
    You can also try choosing Save As > Optimized PDF. There are various settings in that dialog box that you can manipulate to bring down the file size. Here's the Help topic on that dialog box, with information about the various settings:http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/optimizing-pdfs-acrobat-pro.html
    Please let us know how it goes.

  • Encode DV to H.264 for iPod with Quicktime Pro - iPod won't play file

    Hello,
    I have been trying to encode Microsoft DV or Pinnacle DV AVIs into MPEG4 (H.264) for iPod, BUT the resulting files do NOT play in an iPod!?
    I use Quicktime Pro for Windows (v7.1) and use the Apple recommended settings, here are the exact settings I have tried and failed in an iPod;
    VIDEO: H.264 at 200kbps, Baseline Profile, 25fps, Auto Key Frames, 320x240 or 640x480, Multipass Best quality encoding.
    AUDIO: AAC Audio at 96kbps, 24kHz sampling freq, Stereo.
    I'm actually doing it for a client and they cannot play the file, they apparently have to 'convert' my file in their MAC based iTunes for it to work.
    Anyhow can anyone please give me an idea if I am doing something wrong?

  • Video files exported with QuickTime Pro 7.2 can't be transferred to iPod

    If I use the default Export to iPod export choice in QuickTime Pro 7.2 to export video files and add them to my iTunes 7.3 library, when I try to sync them to my 5th generation iPod with video (November, 2005), I just get the "can't be played on this iPod" message. I can create, transfer, and play video files on my iPod if I create them a different way (by using iSquint, ffmpegX, or No Frills DVD2iPod, for example). Exporting to mpeg4 using h.264 results in the same problem, even though I've used settings I know worked before. The export to iPod export choice does not offer any customization of settings. Although this problem is new, I can't be sure the immediately previous version of QuickTime Pro didn't also have the problem, but I know I have successfully used QuickTime 7 to create videos that could be transferred and played on my iPod in the past. How can I use QuickTime Pro 7.2 to create video files that will be compatible with my iPod? Thanks.
      Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    I can also verify this (QT Pro 7.2 exporting to .mp4 not compatible
    with video iPod [firmware 1.2.1 on both 5G/5.5G units]).
    This results in the unusual situation where custom H.264 output
    is operable on the iPhone but not the iPod.
    Example: your iPhone should play
    http://homepage.mac.com/retiarius/sample.elements.mp4
    but it won't transfer to a video iPod.
    Yes, the workaround is to 'export for iPod' or do the conversion
    within 'iTunes', but this in many circumstances will generate
    larger files.
    The closest description of this situation is:
    http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2006-September/015930.html
    Perhaps Apple will release a video iPod firmware update soon
    to get the 'uuid' atoms and whatever watermarking they are
    using these days straightened out.
    I'm surprised this hasn't been noticed more by video podcasters
    who dutifully use Apple's own QT Pro encoding tool to optimize
    filesizes via the tunable H.264/.mp4 codec settings.

  • Not able to open Windows Media Player files with Quicktime Pro

    Hi,
    I have recently downloaded a couple of videos that I am planning to use in FCP. The file extension of the downloaded videos is .asf and I am able to play them with Windows Media Player. However, to use them in FCP I have to convert them into Quicktime format. I have Quicktime Pro version 7.0.4 and I was told that I should be able to open the files in Quicktime therefore automatically converting them into quicktime files. It's not working and I am completely out of options and ideas.
    Please help if you ever had that problem.
    Thanks in advance

    As I understand it M$ is providing additional distribution as a sort of "seal of approval."
    Don't forget WMV/WMA is a proprietary codec from M$ and involves licensing. In that sense they're providing resources. Apparently the Flip4Mac folks are actually building it themselves though.
    Think of it as being in the construction business and you're required to buy the lumber from only one source but you still have to build the house yourself.
    I've just got done downloading the newer version and
    I hope for improvements.
    It looks like M$ is giving some resources to the
    flip4mac creators. Maybe a M$ "plant" all along?

  • How to open MPG files with Quicktime PRO

    I have just bought my first Mac.
    I have a lot of videos, that I did with my Sony DVD webcam,
    and I used the sony software to download them.
    All of them are in MPG extension.
    Not MPEG2 or other, just MPG.
    But the Quick time says:
    The movie could not be opened.
    The file is not a movie file.
    How can I open them ?
    Thanks

    I just need the Apple MPEG-2 Playback Component, right ?
    As indicated above, you need both the QT MPEG-2 Playback component (handles the MPEG-2 video data only) and an application like MPEG Streamclip (free) to handle the demultiplexing of the "muxed" data and act as a data bridge to the QT environment. Basically you are dealing with two somewhat different methods of storing and playing data. In the first case, the audio and video data is stored in "blocks" of data that are spatially interspersed in a single data stream to maintain physical synchronization. QT, on the other hand, is based on multiple tracks of data which are synchronized temporally to an external clock. The problem is changing the former to the later and keeping the audio and video content in proper synchronization.
    So, today I bought the QuickTime pro and just thinking about editing the films in imovie, it will be of no help then... right?
    As indicated above, MPEG-1/2 files are "playback" only compatible with QT and then only if the correct QT components are installed. They are only partially "conversion" compatible since QT, by itself, can only handle the video or the audio data but not both at the same time which is necessary for temporal synchronization of both to a common clock reference. Further, since source data does not have common time references for both audio and video data, it cannot be edited in its "muxed" state in time based app like QT. So if you were planning on using QT 7 Pro and the MPEG-2 Playback component to convert your files to an iMovie editable format, then yes, you wasted your money buying a QT 7 Pro key here. On the other hand, QT 7 Pro can convert/edit MPEG-2 content which is stored as elementary data streams (i.e., separate tracks) of data within a file container. In addition, if you plan to layer, scale, mask, etc. content (i.e., picture-with-picture, picture-in-picture, backgrounded video, etc. effects), then QT 7 Pro would be very useful for "quickie" edits not requiring a full-blown video editor. (I personally recommend having both QT 7 Pro and MPEG Streamclip installed as each has complementary editing features not found in the other.)

  • Windows AVI hd files with 4 channels of audio with quicktime PRO ?????

    I wish to convert Windows AVI hd files with 4 channels of adio to Quicktime mov, retaining the four tracks of audio, will quicktime pro do this

    It depends on what the audio and video codecs used in the video. AVI is just a container format and make use any number of codecs, some of which QuickTime for Windows can support but many it cannot. If you can post information on the codecs, someone here can probably give more direct advice.

  • How do you identify computers with Quicktime Pro vs. player?

    We use MS SCCM to inventory hardware and software. Many of our workstations have Quicktime Player (free) installed, but some groups have Quicktime Pro (not free).
    I need to identify all computers that have Quicktime Pro. The problem is, if you look in Add/Remove Programs inventory, player and pro both show up as "Quicktime". They have the same version number, same product ID, same executables... I am not finding any way to differentiate between player and pro on two inventoried machines.
    Is there ANY difference that I would be able to identify in inventory? (unique executable, different executable size etc...)
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Dave,
    You are correct. Using SCCM I am able to produce a list of about 350 workstations that have "Quicktime" in their Add/Remove Programs menu. I need to identify which of those 350 are Quicktime Pro. Remoting into each of them to check that menu would be out of the question...
    I did compare that preference file on a workstation with player vs. a workstation with Pro (at least I tried to) and I noticed that the machine with player was lacking that file. It had a different OS so I though I may have been looking in the wrong place, but if you are correct about that files presence only on machines with Pro then that could be my trigger...
    Thank you so much for that input, I will verify on a few more machines and if it turns out to be true I may be able to modify my inventory collection to include that file so I can query on it.
    I appreciate the help, I'll post back with what I find for the record.
