Toast 7 images in quicktime

I recently had some video sent to me in the bin/cue file format.
After reading on this forum that i would have to convert them with toast 7 to a disk image to view the files, i have, but now i'm stuck. Quicktime cant open the image and iDVD and iMove HD wont open them either. I dont have a DVD writer so how can i view the files???
I dont want to burn the files, all i want to do is view the content.
Merry Christmas and have a cool New Year.

You didn't say if you have Toast 7 or not, but it opens bin/cue files (and makes them too) so you should be able to open in Toast and then play the image, or if you'd prefer, burnit or make a Toast disk image of it.
Whoops I read between your lines there and you do, so what happens when you mount the bin/cue file with Toast? What is there?Can you mount in toast and then open the image?

No image through QuickTime

Hi!
I have a Mac OS X 10.4.11 with QuickTime 7 installed. I copied film clips from a Sony EX3 (HD) to an extern harddrive. When I now want to look at the clippings it only plays the sounds. I cannot see the images. QuickTime says the computer probably needs another component but what?
Grateful for all ideas!!

Your talking about this camera, right? http://pro.sony.com/bbsc/ssr/cat-broadcastcameras/cat-xdcam/product-PMWEX3/
If so, you will need to buy the MPEG-2 playback component from Apple to watch this video, $20.00.

Sorry there's no way around this on a mac.

Is there a way to export still images from Quicktime or do I need Quicktime Pro (and is Quicktime Pro even still a thing?)

I'm sure there used to be an option "export to still image" but not any more.
Do I need to switch to Quicktime Pro? I used to have it back in my P.C. days but I'm not sure if Quicktime Pro is even a thing any more.
I don't want to go down the "screen grab" option because my source footage is larger than the screen size and so I want to do my cropping after I've exported the stills, not before.

I played a little with live trace in CS5. Seems to do quite a good job if I had the right contrast between the blood (white stuff) and the myocardium (the dark circular wall surrounding the white round area). Picture one is the contrasted picture taken off a dicom medium (these media allow adjusting the contrast very well). Left ventricle is the smiley face on the right of image. The right ventricle is on the left, kind of D shaped. The second picture is the live trace image (with "make and expand" selection). I selected the image with the "direct selection tool (A)", then used the live trace with make and expand. The tracing can not be seen here, but it is very accurate.
The third image is the same MRI image as in picture one without contrast adjustment. Live trace did bad - fourth picture.

Squeezed Image in QuickTime from FCP

Although I've come close to finding my specific issue when perusing the discussions, I haven't had much success.
I shot in 16:9 on the XL2. I changed all my settings in FCP before logging and capturing to accommodate this. It looks fine in FCP, including in the Canvas. When I export to QuckTime however, the image is squeezed to fit a 4:3 aspect ratio (meaning, it's in 4:3, with the image pushed in on the sides and everything is stretched vertically). I tried different settings in the export window ("Current Settings", "DV NTSC Anamophic", etc.), but it always comes out the same in the end. Any ideas?
Thanks!

When you export you can change the SIZE to reflect 16:9 or you can change the aspect ratio in the Quicktime settings once you start playing it in QT. Apple-J, I think.

5K Retina iMac can't open Image Sequence quicktime 7 Pro and 10.10 Yosemite

Brand new and fully loaded iMac 5K crashes every time I attempt to open an image sequence in Quicktime 7 Pro, a feature that is not available in Quicktime X. I have retried, re-installed, and still issues across the board.
Someone please fix this...
System Specs:
OSX 10.10
iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014)
4 GHz Intel Core i7
32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
AMD Radeon R9 M295X 4096 MB
Quicktime 7 Pro 7.6.6 (1709)
Quicktime Player 10.4
To replicate, just open quicktime 7 pro, File>> Open Image Sequence, and then load a camera card full of photos and just wait for it to crash.

If so, please send me a screen shot of your quicktime components folder, maybe you have a codec that I don't.
Also have some legacy codecs turned back on (but Photo-JPEG as used to store image sequence files is not one of them and remains on by default under Yosemite).
Also using JPEG compressed photos from a 24 MP Nikon but restricting resolution to 2560x1920 (4:3), 2560x1707 (3:2), and 2560x1440 (16:9) with max number of photos limited to 2^16-1 (65535).
Also posted a screen capture of my quick test to ensure the QT 7 Pro "Open Image Sequence" option was still working. (Video may be a bit sluggish as I was using QT X to screen capture my use of QT 7 Pro to open an image sequence and forgot that I was also simultaneously still encoding How to Train Your Dragon 2 for my iTunes library.)

You may wish to check your QT 7 PLIST file as a corrupted file can sometimes cause the app to crash.

600 DPI image in Quicktime

I'm working with an old program, still written with Quicktime and resources, etc. We're coming up with a problem that GWorld objects can't hold an image that large at full resolution, so we're looking for alternatives.
One of them is to use the Quartz functions for compressing and decompressing JPEG images (equivalent of fCompressImage and fDecompreessImage). Then we could keep the full image pix-map in memory and do what we need to to turn it into a GWorld at lower resolution.
However, I can't find the appropriate functions. Can anyone tell me what they are?
Thanks

Urgent - need help, Powerpoint images require quicktime???

Hi guys, I'm a lecturer and I prepared a powerpoint on my G5 to show to students last week. the text loads on the Dell PC they have in the classroom, but the images come up with a message "requires Quicktime and a decompressor". As far as I know these are just jpg files which I downloaded from google images as jpega. I then opened the jpgs in Preview and copied and pasted them into the Powerpoint slides.
what's requiring Quicktime here? How can I get around this e.g. by using "insert" for the picture and then clicking the picture to insert? More important how will I know that the umages have loaded as simple jpgs and won't continue to require Quicktime? I have to give a lecture on Monday and I need this Powerpoint to work!!!
thanks for any help

My CS5 Bridge opens images into Quicktime by Default rather than PS or ACR

I recently changed from an old pc running XP Service Pack 3 to a new computer running 7 and upgraded from CS4 to CS5 with an "upgrade disc". When I double click in Bridge to open into PS or ACR the images open into Quicktime by default.
A secondary though niggling glitch is that when I run CS5 in my Administrator A/c 7 won't let me delete files/folders unless I turn off my Security Setting
Any corrective ideas would be much appreciated
Thank Tou

In Bridge click on edit/preferences/file type associations.
Adjust the default to CS5 for the file format you want to open in PS.

Toast Disappears. Quicktime Issue?

I have a friend with G5 Mac desktop with 10.3.9/QT 7.5 and Toast 7.1.3. For a long time now, he has been a happy camper with this set up. But about a month ago, Toast started disappearing during the encoding phase of burning a DVD. It just disappears then reappears, empty. I have run Applejack, Tech Tools Pro and Disk Warrior, as well as upgrade QT to 7.5 (from some 7.1 version, I believe) so far and that has helped. He now only has this problem when he tries to burn a disk with large files of mixed origin: specifically, for example, when he tries to burn a DVD made from a 600 meg .avi and a 600 meg .mpg. Toast always will encode the .avi, then disappear when it has to deal with the .mpg.
What could be causing this, especially after such a long time (a couple of years, I believe) of happy DVD burning?

Exactly. Toast encodes MPEG 2. But, when making a DVD from, say AVIs, Toast relies on QT to decode the AVIs into raw DV. Then Toast uses its own built in encoder to do the MPEG 2 encoding.
In the case of my friend, one of the file types he has trouble with is an MPEG 1 file (not DVD compliant). QT has to decode that to raw DV before Toast can encode into MPEG 2. My question is, is it possible that the QT MPEG codec is corrupted and it is causing Toast to fail (when QT decodes the MPEG 1 video, before Toast converts it into MPEG 2).

Why exporting slide show to QuickTime raises contrast and darkens images?

I've been creating slide shows in iPhoto, then exporting them to QuickTime to create QT.mov files which contain dissolve transitions and later add soundtracks using QTPro. Lately, when I've exported the images to QuickTime, the resulting images in the QT.mov file are invariably darker and more contrasty than the originals in iPhoto; in many cases unacceptably dark.
It appears that QuickTime modifies the images when it exports them.
I've experimented in PhotoShop, and discovered that to make the original Jpeg image match the modified QT version I have to increase the "Contrast" slider +11, and decrease the "Brightness" slider about -8 to -12 (in whatever units PhotoShop sliders are calibrated in). This is an enormous amount of change to the images! Since darkening the image increases the color saturation, every image has some color shift. Black skin tones shift to a heavy red/brown, and shadow details block up unacceptably.
It seems that QuickTime is "auto correcting" the images; automatically applying the sort of tweaking that makes a lot of snapshots look "snappier".
Of course, I've already spent hours correcting my images in PhotoShop, and they're just perfect (IMHO) when I feed them into iPhoto.
iPhoto itself doesn't change anything.. the images are unmodified during the importing, editing and preview of the slideshow; it's only when it's exported to QuickTime that the images are ruined.
I'm hoping that there's some knowledgable soul out there in CyberSpace who knows a way to turn this hidden "auto-correcting" feature off.
G5 dual 2.3Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6) Terabytes of disc space.

iPhoto can make two different types of slide show movies. It would help to know which you're making.
One is made via the File/Export to QuickTime movie and makes a 4 track file with a simple fade effect. These use the Photo-JPEG codec.
The other is a 30 fps "video" using H.264 video codec via the "Share" menu.
A third method (rarely used) is to Export to iDVD. This makes an absurdly high data rate MPEG-4 video. This is also found under the Share menu.
The MPEG-4 video codec also includes an "automatic" gamma correction feature which compensates for the gammas difference between Mac's and PC's.
Try one export to iDVD. Include your audio track prior but use a high quality (.aiff) sound file. No need to actually "burn" the DVD. You can even close iDVD after it opens. You'll find the new movie in your Users Movie folder.
Open it with QT Pro and export to a new .mov file. Adjust the data rate to something more reasonable and add some audio compression.
If the colors still look too dark you can use the built in Filters in the Export dialog. You can adjust B&C or HSL or even use ColorSync Profiles that can help correct the image quality (if needed).

Quicktime converting 24 bit images to 16 bit images on paste

I am doing image processing of a QuickTime (7.1.5 pro) movie in Photoshop (CS2) using Applescript. When I copy an image (either with Applescript or manually) and paste it into a new QuickTime Player movie the image gets converted to a video depth of 16 (thousands) rather than 24. I have tried:
set DestMovie to make new movie with properties {data rate:SourceRate, video depth:24, high quality:true} -- I also tried video depth:0
paste
I also try:
tell movie 1
paste given video depth:24 -- I've also tried just paste
end tell
and still it converts my images to thousands. The image gets to photoshop perfectly. If I paste it into a Pages document the image depth is correct. I have tried both RGB and CMYK in 8 and 16 bit depths in Photoshop. If I save the file as JPEG in high quality mode and then open the file with Quicktime and copy and paste it, it works great, the only problem is I then have to make a new file for every image I process because if I close the file, QuickTime keeps it open so Photoshop can't then save to the same file.....
Will someone please help me figure out how to keep my image quality on pasting into Quicktime???
Thanks
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I open my original movie in Quicktime. I make a new movie in Quicktime for the modified images to be pasted into.
I copy the current frame from my source movie and paste it into Photoshop. I do my image processing and then save as a jpeg high quality and close my file (which strips out the audio from a muxed mpeg-1 file) then reopen the file in Photoshop. Now I have a good quality image in Photoshop. I have been using RGB 8 bit as my mode in Photoshop. I only tried CMYK to see if it would work better. It was exactly the same.
I then do a select all and copy in Photoshop, then go to Quicktime and do a paste. This is when it gets converted to 16 bit depth. If I do the same exact sequence and paste into a Pages document the image stays 24 bit, so I am pretty sure it is something in Quicktime.
Again, if I save the file in Photoshop and then open the same file in Quicktime, copy the image and then paste it into my destination movie, it works great. The only problem with this method is I have 15 minutes of video to process with is 27,000 jpeg files in the end. I prefer to use one file if I can. The reason for the 27,000 files is that when I open an image in Quicktime and paste it into a movie, it saves it as a track in the movie and even when I close the original file, Quicktime keeps it as in use. When I look at the movie properties, it keeps the original file in the list until I do a save as movie and it flattens the movie. If I flatten the movie once, then when I do another save, it keeps the original file open again. I would have to do a save as movie... again 27,000 movie files now. Geez...
Thanks!

Quicktime TOAST VIDEO CD export, mpg files, audio sync out

I used the TOAST VIDEO CD option from my FINAL CUT PRO 3.0 version to make mpg videos to upload to my website, so it seems to be the easiest format where a PC platform and MAC platform can both run this file...
well lately, i can't remember what i've changed, if anything, but the files that I export, become out of (audio) sync when they become mpgs. However, I can do mp4 and its fine, or any other format. But when I do video toast cd (.mpg), and I play the file on the laptop, its audio is out of sync. I am running QT 7.0.1 downgraded from 7.0.4, that i was using earlier... with Final Cut Pro 3.0, and running Mac OSX 10.3.9
please someone help me with this, its driving me nutso!
please

It sounds (no pun intended) like a Toast problem.
QuickTime doesn't export to MPEG-1 or 2 formats and it isn't involved with the conversion. Maybe you can find an answer in a Toast user forum (if any).
I've never had any issues using the steps you use but my conversions were from original QT formats (not .avi) and the files were under 5 minutes.

How to make a working IMAGE ofperfect system? What program to use? NoRestor

OK, being a PC guy (sigh) I am used to system restore.
A few things. The other day for no reason iDVD stopped playing sound, for the life of me I could not fix it, garage band played fine....as well as Logic Express, but no for iDVD which leads me to this. I had to reinstall OS and all the software again.
Is there something similar to system restore?
Or, how does one make a working copy of his/her image when it is working great and then use that for the re-install.
I assume from the tiger disc this is where you say use recover image or something like that. What programs (if there is no restore) are there for making a working image of your system? Will toast do it? I don't want a toast image but a DMG image.....after I install FC, iWork, iLife, Garage loops, where looking at 30GB at least, but will do it if it means the next time something goes wrong instead of reinstalling all I have to do is mount this recoverable image!
Thanks again!

Here's what I do. This is my backup routine - seriously.
- Get Info on your main drive, copy down the # of bytes used. Divide by 1024 then by 1024 again. This gives you the number of MB used on your system
- Open Disk Utility. Select FILE > New...> Blank Disk Image
- from the size drop down, select Custom, then enter the MB number you calculated plus about 0.2.
- Save as read/write, no encryption, to an external drive (firewire is more reliable in my experience but USB should work) - use a descriptive name so you know it's a backup. If your image is big, this will take a while as D.Util. writes a file the same size as your main drive.
- Your new disk image will show up in Disk Utility. Verify the bytes available is more than the bytes on your main drive (highlight them in turn and look at the info at the bottom of the D.Util. window)
- Now click the Restore button. Drag your main drive into the Source slot and the mounted disk image into the destination slot. No need to erase destination because you just overwrote those bytes creating the contiguous .DMG file.
- Click Restore and go watch a movie.
When D.U. is done your main drive will now be in a .dmg file. To get your drive back, boot from the install CD, select D.U. from the Utilities menu, restore from the image (click the Image button on the restore screen to mount and browse external drives). This time you put the mounted image file in the source and your main drive in the destination slot. Watch another movie.
I suggest you test this between external drives first in case you think it's black magic. You can then boot from the second restored drive to verify that yes indeed it's a perfect clone and it's bootable (need FW drives since you can't boot from USB). If your restore doesn't work just remember your backup is on that .dmg file and don't give up. But I've never had a problem (knocking on my wooden head).
This is my routine once a month. Between times I backup just changed files as needed. I also have a "clean" configuration of my laptop from the last time I wiped it and re-installed all my apps. That process took 2 days, but when I restore the clean it takes maybe an hour - much better than finding all my disks and serial numbers again, and wasting 2 days.
Let us know if this is helpful,
