Saving a purchased video short as a Quicktime Movie

I bought the Pixar short Boundin' and opened it with Quicktime in order to do a Save As and saved it in my Movies folder. When I double-click it, it opens and plays fine. However, when I try to play it from the small preview that displays, it continually asks me to 'authorize this machine' in order to play purchased songs, but no matter how many times I authorize this machine it still does not play it in the preview mode. Also, when I tried to burn it to a dvd in iDVD it seemed to work fine, but when I tried to play the finished dvd, Boundin' would not play (I made a dvd with several short movies/trailers for my two year old son), while all the other short clips did. None of the other short clips were iTunes products, however.
Any help would be appreciated, and I apologize for the long post.Perhaps, this is iTunes way of guarding against copyright issues, but I would really like to put this movie on a dvd for my son.
Thanks,

If the site allow you to save it as a bookmark then do that, otherwise you need to contact the vendor.

Adding a video track to a quicktime movie

how do i load a quicktime movie and then add an additional quicktime movie as an addtional video track on top of it ?

This should give you the general idea.
set Mov1 to (choose file with prompt "Choose Base Movie")
set Mov2 to (choose file with prompt "Choose Movie to Insert")
tell application "QuickTime Player"
open Mov2
tell movie 1
set the dimensions of track "Video Track" to {100, 80}
select all
copy
end tell
close movie 1 saving no
open Mov1
tell movie 1
add
set the position of track "Video Track 2" to {20, 20}
delete track "Sound Track 2"
select none
rewind
end tell

How do I combine separate audio and video files into one Quicktime movie?

I have DVDs that contain separate audio and video files in folders marked Audio_TS and Video_TS. I would like to know how to combine these files into a single Quicktime movie. Is there inexpensive or shareware software that imports and unites these files reliably? A simple solution is preferred, rather than getting into complex media editing applications.
G4 eMac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Doug - the VOB files (in the VIDEO_TS folder) are MPEG-2 files. MPEG-2 have the video and audio mixed into the one file - there are no audio files to combine.
The rest are directions to a DVD player (e.g. the BUP and IFO's) . The AUDIO_TS folder is used for DVD Audio discs and on video DVDs is always empty.
Many people use Handbrake or iSquint to convert VOB to iPod video though MPEG Streamclip is the best - open the first numbered VOB and it will prompt you to open all of them. ALWAYS fix timecodes when it asks. You can then edit/trim and export to MPEG-4.

Jumpy video after Exporting Quicktime Movie from PS CS4 Extended

I am trying to produce a short training video for work. I created my entire movie in iMovie '09, and decided that it desperately needed some arrows and text to clarify some of the more technical aspects. I exported it as a Quicktime file from iMovie and imported into Ps CS4 extended.
After I finished the editing, I chose to export my video, again as a Quicktime movie.
The export completed, and when I went to review my movie, it was extremely jumpy. Watching the time line on the bottom of the Quicktime screen, I noticed that it was jumping in multiple second intervals. The audio portion seemed normal, but the video kept freezing and scrambling.
I attempted re-exporting the video with the Quicktime settings of Animation, and Frames Per Second set at current.
No difference.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong????

Marian -
Thank you for your response. I am only an amateur video editor, and up until now, I hadn't bumped up against the limitations of iMovie too often. You are definitely correct, it would FAR easier to do these effects in FCE, FCPro, AE, Premiere, etc., except for one thing . . . I don't own any of those programs! (I've already ordered a copy of Final Cut Express, but it stinks to have to spend $200 to get $7 worth of personal functionality.)
I do, however, own the extended Ps CS4. And, to paraphrase the guy on Lynda.com, "You already have it, and you know how to use it . . . It should work for you . . ."
This is the information on the file, it was exported this way automatically by iMovie (They don't give you much control over these functions.)
Unfortunately, I trashed my output from PS as well as the .psd in a fit of rage! It wouldn't take me more than 30 minutes to recreate it . . .
Would it be worth attempting to export it using H.264 instead of the animation Codec?

Snow Leopard iTunes 10.5 will not play multiple video tracks in QuickTime .MOV files

I recently discovered that Snow Leopard iTunes version 10.5 won't play multiple video tracks in a QuickTime .MOV file.
Both video tracks appear and play correctly when playing the file in:
- QuickTime Player 10 or QuickTime Player 7.7 on the same Snow Leopard machine
- iTunes 10.3.1 on another Snow Leopard machine
- iTunes 10.5 on Leopard or Windows 7
So I think the problem is iTunes 10.5 on Snow Leopard (although I haven't been able to test iTunes 10.4).
First test file is two 640x480 video tracks side-by-side (total dimensions 1280x480):
http://160.94.17.23/demo/two-video-tracks-1280x480.mov
All I see is the first (left) video track, and not the right one. iTunes "Get Info" command incorrectly reports the video dimensions of the file as 640x480.
Second test file is two 640x480 video tracks played one after another (duration of 10 seconds each):
http://160.94.17.23/demo/two-video-tracks-640x480.mov
All I see is the first video track, and although it reports the correct file duration (20 seconds), the second video track never appears -- it simply freezes on the final frame of the first video track for the last 10 seconds.
Anyone else see similar behavior? Unless I'm missing something, I suppose I should submit this as a bug to Apple.

I have the same problem, i tried re-installing, converting it to AVC H264 but none seems to work so far

How to copy Quicktime Movie to DVD

I took some movie clips on a Nikon L4 camera and saved them to my HP Pavillion as Quicktime movies. I would like to copy them to DVD to play on my DVD player. Can I do this and if so how? Do I need Quictime Pro?
HP Pavillion a1600n Windows XP using Nikon Coolpix L4

You will need third-party software that can create a video DVD (QuickTime Pro will not create a video DVD). I'm sure if you search the net for something like "Windows video DVD create" you'll come across numerous such products. You'll need to make sure that any product you choose can import QuickTime movies, or get conversion software that can convert a QuickTime movie to a format your DVD application can handle (QuickTime Pro might do this, but you'd probably find freeware apps that could also do the conversion).
Regards.

Why is the iDVD-burned CD of worse quality than the raw quicktime movie?

Hello,
I have digitzed some old VHS movie to quicktime using a simple USB video grabber. The quicktime movie that I got is of good quality. Then I have imported to iMovie, made the editing, finalized the movie, and shared to iDVD. The encoding is set to best performance, the format is PAL, 4:3, and then I have burned the DVD. When I look at the DVD on our TV the dark parts are really awful - digitizing noise all over the place.
I then connected the computer directly to the TV and this is much better in quality . the background has no or little flicker, and the dark parts remain dark.
What am I doing wrong? I refuse to beleive that this is as good as it gets - commercial DVDs are much better and this is from a €%&/# VHS, so there should not be any real degradation?!?

Clearly when you look at a 720 x 576 DVD on a 42" LCD it will not look good unless you have good source footage AND a good encoder AND good upscaling from your player. iDVD does provide a good encoder but the other two may just not be up to the task.
I personally made DVDs that looked good on a 42" Sony TV. But they were encoded in Compressor and played on a Blu-Ray player with excellent upscaling.

How can I burn the mpeg-4 to a DVD without incurring the loss in quality? How do studios do this?
You can't and they don't. First of, studios don't start out with highly compressed videos and secondly they have much better software encoders (which cost $$$$) like CinemaCraft or hardware encoders.
anderssunesson wrote:
There were some tips on round pixels vs square pixels. I will look into that. Do you need a special "DVD-digitizer" to save your old VHS movies??
You can get something that goes from VHS to DV (instead of MPEG-4) like the Canopus converters and then edit in either iMovie 6 or FCE (both are EOL). In any case, bear in mind that you start out from VHS.

Audio plays too fast in Flash 8 FLV encoded from Quicktime MOV

I'm rendering out from VT4 (Newtek Video Toaster) to a
Quicktime MOV file that is re-encoded in the Flash 8 media encoder.
In the past I've used the 32 bit floating point audio format coming
out of VT4, which worked when playing just a MOV file. But now,
when re-encoding the MOV file in Flash 8, the audio runs fast, or
is maybe truncated somehow so it sounds that way.
I have several choices for a MOV audio format, is there one
that Flash 8 media encoder is 'wanting' to see?
Thanks,
TW

What kind of file is "Quicktime Movie" file?

Hi, I posted this in the "Connecting the Fifth Generation iPod to Windows" section but I got no replys.
The Question was:
I was looking at my collection and I see some movies/videos with the extention "Quicktime movie file" what type of file is this?
My guess is that it is H.264 but please let me know if it isn't.
Thanks

Editing QuickTime movies that are 'Save-Disabled'.

Has anyone been able to extract audio / video from a compressed QuickTime movie that has 'Disable Save' enabled?
I lost the raw .avi movies for several videos, and, with the latest Purevoice/QT7.3 issues, I am in need of re-compressing those QuickTime movies.
Any ideas / suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

If you've set the cache to 100 MB's that all QuickTime will use.
You're going to have much bigger issues with such little free space on your drive. Why not buy a cheap external drive and move large folders like Music, Movies and Pictures to it.
iTunes, iPhoto and iMovie can all store their files on external drives.

Audio dropout in long quicktime movie

I have a long movie (8 hours) that I've compressed and exported in Final Cut Pro as a Quicktime movie. After the export I end up with a 2gb Quicktime file that plays in quicktime player. So far so good. The video part of the quicktime movie is great. But at around the 6 hour mark the audio cuts out completely. The video keeps playing fine, but no audio. I've tried 3 separate times now and each time the audio cuts out around 6 hours in.
What gives? Is there some maximum length in quicktime for audio or something?
Thanks,
-Rusty

Hi!
Can you tell us the bits rate, frame rate and other setting options that you have given for the Video and Audio during your hinting process.
thanks

Quicktime crashes when I attempt to play purchased videos

I have recently purchased a few TV shows on iTunes. Just today, iTunes will no longer play these purchased videos: When I try to play an episode itunes either becomes unusable, or outright crashes. Quicktime also crashes when I try to use it to play the files directly.
This isn’t happening on any other videos, including video podcasts. It only happens on the episodes that I have purchased. They do appear to still work on my ipod touch. Can anyone help me with this?

If your computer has multiple accounts on it, QT 7.0.3 has a new bug that only allows the user that installed the software to use it. All other users get a "Cannot load ActiveX control" or other error, including Error 46. The original installer should be able to use, but other features of Pro right now are buggy, including export.
If that doesn't work, try cCleaner (a freeware registry cleaner) that will mop up the registry mess QT is making. You may get a clean install (took me 6 times) but still only works for user that installed the software and no other user.

Exported a 3 minute video from iMovie to Quicktime, saved on my desktop. It started saving as INDIVIDUAL files, as in about 5400! Entire system froze, completely unresponsive. Powered off 3 times now, it comes on and displays my screen saver but nothing

Exported a 3 minute video from iMovie into Quicktime, saved to desktop. System started saving INDIVIDUAL frames instead and entire system froze. Powered off and on twice - screensaver appears, but that's it - nothing else is accessible

Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
You may now be able to log in and move the files off the Desktop. Then reboot as usual.

How to save an iTunes purchased video as a Quicktime file?

Hi,
How do I save an iTunes purchased video (which is an .m4v file) as a Quicktime file?
Thank you!
C

Thanks for this. I see how I can play the video as a Quicktime, but I wanted to save it so I can import it to iMovie... I can't import a .m4v in iMovie, only Quicktime. Any ideas?
Thanks!
