Trying to export downloaded movie files to IPOD format

I recently purchased the ipod video and I am trying to add music videos and clips that I had downloaded onto my computer. I followed the steps given on the quicktime website. I open up Quicktime 7Pro > file > open file > click on the movie clip i want > file > export > set it to "movie to ipod (320 x 240)". It converts but when I try to play the movies all I get is a white screen. Some have the correct sound but some, the sound comes all distorted. I wen to the FAQ but it didn;t help. it just told me to download codecs but didn't tell me what or where to download. Could you please help me? Also some movies I have been able to convert comes w/ no sound because its is MUXED or something like that. Is there anyway I can fix that too?
Thank you

QT will not convert the sound from mpeg-1 or mpeg-2 files. They are muxed, meaning the sound and video are both contained in a single track. In other files types the sound and video are in separate tracks. QT Mpeg Limitations
For the muxed files you can try this freeware that does export both sound and video from mpegs. It has a setting to export to mpeg-4 video, which should play on your iPod. The site offers both Mac and Windows XP versions of the freeware. Mpeg StreamClip
I don't know why you get the white screen for some of the movies. That usually means the video is encoded with a compression method you don't have. What I don't understand is how you could have encoded it and not have the decompressor. You can find the name of the missing codec by opening in the Player and using Show Movie Info in the Windows menu. Perhaps someone here will be able to help you find the right decompressor for those..

Trying to Export an .MOV file to a .WMV file

I am trying to export an .mov file to a .wmv file using Quicktime 7.0 Pro. It exports the file fine, but it does not convert the entire file, the last part of the file is not there. The .mov file is 1 min and 16 secs long, and the exported .wmv file only comes out 29 sec long. Anyone have any ideas why it would do this? Thanks.

You can use VisualHub to convert to WMV without restrictions.
It's only available in the wild, because it's no longer supported. You can also download it on this page:
http://www.wyodor.net/MoreEmbed/embedmedia.html
Edit: To convert WMV to a h264/AAC movie without restrictions you need the Beta version of the free Flip4Mac for Snow Leopard.
It contains a bug that was later fixed. [Read my blog about it|http://translate.google.nl/translate?js=y&prev=t&hl=nl&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wyodor.net%2Fblog%2Farchives %2F10-01-200910-31-2009.html&sl=nl&tl=en] (Google translation, so smile) where you can download the Beta. Simply Install it and be happy.

What is an Error -8961 that is returned when trying to export a .mov file as an MPEG-4 file

I'm trying to view some .mov videos on Windows using QTPro. I get audio, but no video. I am trying to work around this by exporting the file to some other format and perhaps using another player. MP4 seems obvious, but any attempts to export generates this error.
The files were originally generated by a GoPro, and uploaded to a MacBook running OS X

Exporting an .mov file with timecode

Hi -
I'm trying to find the best way to export an .mov file from Premiere or Encoder with timecode either burned in (as well as embedded in the file). Right now when I export the .mov files no timecode is coming through. Normally I would be able to read the timecode with the earlier version of Quicktime, and I can see it is just starting at 0.
I'm trying to export as .mov files so they can be given to transcribers.
Thanks for any help!

It get's it from where you tell it to in the effect's settings. If it wasn't right, correct it.

Trying to transfer a movie file from my ipod to my pc

I am trying to put a movie file I have saved on my ipod classic and transfer it over to my pc. Now the ipod is set up to work with my macbook so when I hook it up to the pc it wants me to reformat it. I am using the ipod as an external storage so the movie file does not come up in my itunes. I do this sometimes just to transfer large files from my macbook to my wifes macbook pro. This is the first time I am trying to use it with a pc. If I reformat the ipod for the pc I am assuming I will lose all of my music that is on the ipod right? Thanks for any help to can give me.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your reply.
The movie file is stored in a folder inside of data, when i try and delete either by dragging to trash or clicking move to trash it comes up with (The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items.).
I am just treating this file the same as anything else in finder, which is generally what i have always done.

Why is it that my iMovie app keeps shutting off randomly! I'm trying to export my movie and it shuts down each time it's a 1/4 of the way through downloading! Ah! Please help.

I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?

The movie will only be where you put it.
However,in some countries you can redownload some movies:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

"General error" while trying to export my movie.

Hi all, I saw a few threads with this topic but no one seems to have a solution so I thought I would post a new one hoping for a miracle
I have a small movie that I made that I want to export with "using quicktime conversion" option. As soon as I rename the title and choose a destination, I get the "General Error" message that pops up with no number or error code attached to it. I tried saving the file to different hard drives with a lot of space to spare and still won't work. I also did the "render all" option before trying to export my movie. BTW, I'm only at around 11 minutes of movie and my whole project should be about 2 hours...
Also, I chose the correct AVCHD 1920 X 1080 codec since my original data comes from my Canon HF200.
When i was only a few minutes into my project, I did a test film and I managed to export it but had no sound when playing the test movie on my WDTV (that's another problem though) but now it won't even export at all... Any ideas?
Thanks,
Rob

A couple things to try:
1. Decrease the amount of RAM allowed to the application and see if it was a problem with the OS not having enough to function.
2. Basic troubleshooting procedure, trashing preferences and repairing permissions:

Can you use QT mov. files on ipod

is it possible to use quicktime mov. files on ipod, i have them in my itunes but am wondering if this is possible,
thankyou

You seem to be confusing the file format (.mov) with its content (compression format). If the .mov file does not contain a format compatible with your iPod, then you must convert it to a compatible format. The specifics for this conversion depend on the specific format present in your source file, what system you are using, and the software you have available, are willing to download, or purchase.
For instance, let's say you have a .mov file which contains a "muxed" MPEG1 movie. If you have a Mac, you could use the free iSquint application to turn it into an iPod compatible movie. On the other hand, Windows users could use the free Videora iPod Converter to do the same thing.
Use your QT Player "Show Movie Info" window to determine in which format your source file is actually enconded and go from there.

Is there any easier way to edit imovie files that have been exported as mov file then added to FCE 4?? As every move I make has to be rendered and takes forever??? Also my recording is going out of focus without me touching the camera, why has this happen

Is there any easier way to edit imovie files that have been exported as mov file then added to FCE 4?? As every move I make has to be rendered and takes forever??? Also my recording is going out of focus without me touching the camera, why has this happened any idea what causes this??
iMovie '08, Mac OS X (10.5.8), FCE 4

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

You can't import MPEG-2 files directly to FCP X.
Can you play this file in Quicktime Player? If so, then you can use the free program MPEG Streamclip to convert this to Quicktime. Use the ProRes codec.

Best settings for highest quality for exporting a .mov file to h.264

Hi,
I want to know what the best settings are for the highest quality for exporting a .mov file (720p50) to h.264. I want the same quality as the original.
I want to know the data rate etc.
regards,
Jeroen
Message was edited by: Woudgraaf-AV

There is no way to get the exact same quality when transcoding from an editing source to a highly compressed H.264 QT. However, you can get a real high quality by adjusting the data rate.
However, these things depend on the length of the original. I routinely encode H.264s with good results in the 3000-5000 data rate range. I also make sure that I use multiple pass encoding. Take a short snippet of your project (10 seconds or so), and try various bit rates until you have one you like that doesn't take forever.
