Streaming QT Movies Created with iMovie HD 6

My web hosting company, dreamhost.com, offers a Darwin streaming server for to post streaming QuickTime Movies. My problem is that their documentation uses links/examples for QuickTime Pro, not iMovie which is what I have.
http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/Object_Embedding
http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/QuickTime_Streaming
Also, the markup they propose uses a "poster" movie but I can't understand what that is or how to produce it:
<embed src="poster.mov" href="rtsp://yourstreaming_subdomain.com/your_streamingsubdomain.com/movie.mov" width="200" height="240" target="myself">
Can any one tell me:
1. How to produce the files I need for streaming using iMovie, and
2. What markup I used in my web page to stream the movie.
Thank you in advance for your help.

I am unable to upload Quicktime movies made with imovie to the web. I've tried using Filezilla (which worked well until recently) or even going directly to the webhost via Cox. The upload gets caught in a loop. nojo99

I am unable to upload Quicktime movies made with imovie to the web. I've tried using Filezilla (which worked well until recently) or even going directly to the webhost via Cox (my internet provider).

Move made with iMove can't be imported in another iMove-Film

Hi,
I tried to import a movie (that I made completely with iMovie) in another movie in iMove. But importing I got that error message:
The Clip /../../.dv can’t be imported; QuickTime couldn’t parse it: -43
What does that mean?
Mac OS X (10.4.7)

then what should I do now? Import the "Timeline
Movie.mov" myself?
Yes, that's one option. That will deliver all the Timeline video and audio to the new project as a single clip.
Another option, depending on what it contains, is to import the files in the Media folder to a new project.
Both imports can be accomplished by simply dragging the desired file to the Timeline of a new project.
If all you want is a copy of the original project, it may be best to use the Finder to create a duplicate project, or use iMovie's Save As commend. Then all your clips are retained as the clips they currently are. Open the new project and discard those clips you don't want.
Or you can simply Copy the clips from the Timeline of Project A and Paste them into Project B.

Why can't I import a .mov created with QT screen recording into FCX?

I created a .mov file with QuickTime's Screen Recording mode. The movie thus created opens in the QuickTime Player and plays fine, but when I try to import it into FCX's editor with File>Import, I get an error message: "File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown".
Why can't I import this .mov to edit it in FCX?
Thanks,
George

Bengt, I believe the OP's "FCX" does mean FCE.
Like Al said, they need to be transcoded (say, to AIC) in something like MPEG Streamclip, QT Pro or Compressor.
Actually, FCP X will happily open them.

How can I open a .mov file with iMovie?

Hi,
I keep trying to open a .mov file in iMovie and it isn't doing it. Is that not a recognized file extension? Should I convert the video file somehow?
Thanks!

.mov is just a container for a variety of video codecs, some of which are not recognized by iMovie. You will need to convert it first with a third party app such as Media Converter (which is free, see: http://media-converter.sourceforge.net).
Another free app VideoSpec (see: http://videospec.free.fr) is useful for identifying all the details of a video clip

Does anyone know what programme i can use as iDVD is not on my mac. I want to make a DVD from a movie created on iMovie? Is Burn any good? and if so, can I get it free?

Hi does anyone know what programme I can use to create DVD of a movie that I have created on iMovie? There is no iDVD on my mac. Is Burn any good? And if so, can I get it for free?
Thanks.

There is no iDVD on my mac.
There is NO alternative. But iDVD is very easy to get.
iDVD is on the iLife 11 DISK. Buy here:
http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MC623Z-A-iLife-VERSION/dp/B003XKRZES/ref=sr_1_1?ie=U
Is Burn any good?
iDVD is vastly superior, especially for movies.

.mov movie made with iMovie imported in iTunes

I made (with iMovie) a movie and imported in iTunes where it works perfectly. But when I go to advanced to use "convert selection for ipod" I can't. I have only the line convert to mp3.....
Any help? Maybe iTunes doesn't convert .mov files for iPod use?
THANKS

probably yes, but I'm not able to open the .mov file in imovies. I made it when I had imovies 04 than after upgrading to imovies 06, all the files look like quicktime files and I can't open it in imovies 06.... So, now I have only the .mov file. It works in quicktime and iTunes but not anymore in iMovie. Any idea?
Thanks in advance!

Cannot trim or edit a movie created with a Sony Cybershot DSC-T200 camera?

Hi there people. I've created some mpeg movies using my Sony Cybershot DSC-T200 then copied them onto my Imac. I want to trim the start and end of the movie which i know is possible within Quicktime as i've done it with other video formats from other sources and you just drag the selection markers on the playback bar to the desired points then re-save. However when i open the mpegs in Quicktime created with the Sony camera, the in and out selection markers are not there? Can somebody help me with this situation as it's driving me nuts. I have the full Quicktime Pro version too so know that's not an issue.
I've exported the mpeg as an Mp4 as a test and it then lets me edit but i'm losing video quality. I've also got a program called MPEG streamclip which lets me clip the mpeg but still getting the quality loss.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Multiplexed compression formats have never been "fully" supported by QT. And, as a result of a number of recent updates, many of the "contextual" features are now correctly turned off when they should be turned off while others "partially" work even when they shouldn't. When dealing with multiplexed files, you should use an MPEG-based, third-party application like MPEG Streamclip to ensure all features are properly functioning.
I've also got a program called MPEG streamclip which lets me clip the mpeg but still getting the quality loss.
If you use the "Save As..." option to save your files after trimming, there should be absolutely no loss in quality since there is no re-compression of the data. (I.e., the trimmed data is simply copied to a new file container.) On the other hand, if you are exporting the data after trimming, then there is always an opportunity for a loss in visual quality -- especially if you use a lower data rate than your source in order to create smaller files. In this case your are actually "throwing away" data which is what causes your loss in quality.

QT for Win can't open .mov made with iMovie

Hello
Is it possible?
Joking around I created a clip with the built in iSight camera in iMovie, clicked share, email and of my two windows recipients one could hear not see, the other, nothing.
Tried saving the clip as quicktime movie seperately sent it via mail and still nothing. The one recipient said she had checked for the latest Quicktime and was current (free version) the other, my brother, wouldn't be bothered checking. I saved one of the clips to a dvd not using iDVD and a QT icon was there but only the sound would come through the DVD player.
Is it even possible? I'm wondering whether to give up on interacting with windows friends with the iMac, I love the iMac (my first) but I do have a windows machine I can go back to (hoping NOT to go back but......).
I know from experience chatting with them (Windows users) is near impossible so wondering if I should give up on this part of sharing as well.
Paul.

Paul,
Try MpegStreamclip (versions available for Mac and PC).
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-win.html
1.) You can convert your xx.mov to xx.mpg1, that should be playable on both platforms (Mac/PC).
OR
Since MPEG Streamclip can save MOV files as AVI, you can import the AVI (Large file size) into "Windows Movie Maker" and export as WMV (small file size, Microsoft's version of mp4) for your PC family and friends to view.
Note: I believe you mentioned you had a PC, "Windows Movie Maker" is a free video editing program that's included with Windows ME & XP installations.

Trouble getting iDVD to burn a movie created in iMovie?

I am running OS 10.4.11 on a PowerBook G4 with SuperDrive that has been updated with iLife '08. I was able to create and burn several home movies to a DVD last year and at least two since performing the iLife '08 upgrade. But now when I double click the _Create iDVD Project_ button I always get the message _There was an internal iDVD error during the last action. This is not a movie_.
I tried to burn a DVD with one of the movies that I had previously burned and I got the same error message. After searching the web for a solution I tried repairing the permissions, deleting the .plists from iMovie and iDVD, and later reinstalling the operating system along with iLife '08. When I read that iLife '08 might be a problem I reinstalled the older version of iDVD (but not iMovie since iLife '08 is not compatible with Tiger) and I still get the same message. Can anyone offer a possible solution to my problem?
PS Just once while working with one of the older movies I was able to start the burning process. After that I was not able to repeat this action a second time with the same movie.

I have tried every solution suggested by Apple and others on the web (where there are many) but nothing has worked. I am convinced this iMovie to iDVD problem is caused by Apple's own software. Now if this had been the only problem I think I would have kept trying a while longer --- but my PowerBook G4 17" is one that has a serial number starting with W85 (with nasty lines which now number over 30), plus it has one broken key top (which Apple reps tell me will require that I replace the complete keyboard). My Apple care having run out some time ago, I now have to pay for all repairs. So I have taken the path of least resistance and purchased a new computer. I will not say which one but I am confident I won't end up with the same problems. I guess one could say that in one way my question has been answered but I am not at all happy.

NTSC DVD created with iMovie 6.0.3. Need to convert to PAL.

Is there a way to do this without starting over? Can I switch iMovie from NTSC to PAL? Can I take my iMovie NTSC project and copy it to a new iMovie window after switching the preferences to PAL? Would that keep chapters in place? Can Toast or something do this? I sure hate to totally start over.

Hi
Please Karsten
b) export your iMovie project; drag the resulting file into a new PAL IDVD project; iDVD will ask you to keep or change the standard
IS NO GOOD WAY at all - It works but resulting DVD is barely viewable ! (jumpy, un-sharp and really bad)
a) is an excellent choice as long as TV is fairly modern - else result will be Bl/W
My notes on this:
PAL to NTSC or NTSC to PAL
A. Copying commercial DVDs - No Not possibly at all - Not even legal to discuss.
B. Home made DVDs (DVDs without copy protection)
C. Movies from iMovie or FinalCut
• Save as full quality QuickTime .mov and convert this with JES_Deinterlacer (free on internet)
NTSC ---> PAL.
• Most often not necessary - Most stand alone PAL DVD-players playback NTSC
(if TV is old in BL/W)
PAL ---> NTSC.
• If played on Mac - not necessary AT ALL
• If on NTSC DVD-player - CONVERSION IS NEEDED - nearly no Stand alone NTSC-DVD-players
playback PAL at all.
To do this You need to convert the PAL DVD to streaming.DV or full quality QuickTime .mov
• I use Roxio Toast™ to do this (There are no free converter)
• JES_Deinterlacer (free on internet) to convert to NTSC
• Set up an NTSC project (29.97fps or 30) in iDVD and import then burn
I burn to
• Verbatim DVD-R
• Set down burn speed in iDVD to x1 or x4 recommended by many
• Secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on internal boot hard disk before burning (IMPORTANT)
PAL is 25 fps and an analog TV standard of 625 lines
NTSC is 29.97 fps and 520 lines
NTSC (29.97fps) 520 lines - about 640x480 pixels (square) 720x480 rectangular (narrow) pixels
PAL (25 fps) 625 lines - about 768x576 pixels (square) 720x576 rectangular (narrow) pixels
to use a photo 702x480 resp 576 then add 9 pixels on each side to add together as 720
If iDVD hangs on PAL or NTSC.
Bengt W wrote
Deleting iDVD pref. file - should return You into NTSC mode.
Yes iDVD can switch to PAL - BUT as You see with a rather lousy result.
a. Need to convert to PAL - most often not - Most PAL-player can playback NTSC
and on a fairly new TV in color. (old TV in Bl/W)
(Other way around - from PAL to NTSC most often a must - few NTSC-player can use PAL)
b. IF MUST - then use JES_Deinterlacer to do this conversion - so much better and free.
My list on this (or rather PAL --> NTSC - just think the other way around)
I have to send it overseas
That too can be a problem. As USA = NTSC = 29.97fps and EU = PAL = 25fps.
DO Not let iMovie or iDVD do this conversion from one to the other - Result will be Very
BAD
I save the movie as a full quality QuickTime .mov file then I use JES_Deinterlacer to do the conversion - then I cont. in iMovie or iDVD with project set accordingly.
JES_Deinterlacer is free on Internet and there are Pro applications but not that much better and costs are astronomical.
PAL-DVDs - don't play in US
NTSC-DVDs - usually plays well in EU
All plays well on a Mac - What ever.

Thank you SDMacuser. I dumped all the plist icons with no result, and was getting pretty plist off when it occurred to me to delete all the previous dvd.proj files. Bingo. That did the trick. So thank you for all your help and the additional information you provided.

How do you burn a movie created in iMovie 10 to DVD?

I would like to use the new iMovie with Maverick but I don't know how to take the finised movie and export it onto a dvd. Any suggestions?

Go to File>Share>File, choose the size (probably should choose either SD or Large) then click Next, give it a name, then click Save.
Go to iDVD. Go to File>Import>Video and select the file you just created. It will bring the video into your iDVD project.
This was always the way I did it in the previous version of iMovie. Works just fine.

Movie Created with Windows Movie Maker

I created a movie of our recent vacation with Windows Movie Maker and I am now trying to get it on my iPod. Can someone tell me the best way to accomplish this.
Thanks,

I downloaded Handbrake, but I am having difficulty making it work.
I also downloaded Videora, and I was actually able to get my movie into iTunes, but when I converted the movie in iTunes to transfer to my iPod, it lost sound.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
