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.

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.

Creating videos for web with QuickTime Pro

HI,
I need to create videos for my web site that are compatible with the Ipod. However, I also need to create a file that can be played on a PC, without requiring the use to install a plug in (e.g. Flash or similar).
Does QuickTime Pro have anything that can help me produce a video that is compatible with both the Ipod and the standard PC web browser?
Thanks very much,
Jamie Dolan

Every video format will require a browser plug-in be used.

Resizing a video file recorded with quicktime

Hi
I have recorded my screen with Quicktime for 2 hours and the file went upto 12 GB. I want to resize that file as it is a waste to keep the file with that size. Can anyone help me in resizing the file.

If only part of the screen is of issue then use MPEG Streamclip (free) , set the export (to MPEG-4 and select an iTunes preset like iPod or iPhone) to the same size as your screen (1900 X1200 etc.), then use crop, which is a bit of a hit or miss proposition to crop left, right, top, bottom to save and export just the part you want to see.
There is an export preview in Streamclip so you can see in seconds what you are going to get and estimating the cropping points is not that hard, as you know how big the screen is and if you want 1/3 in the middle you set left and right crop to be 1/3 of the width each.
Note the end result is scaled down to the crop settings so it is not 1900X1200 using this example, it might be 600X400 etc. Just the part you want, life size.

No sound in .mpg files, or video files associated with Quicktime...

Im having trouble getting sound in any of the videos I play in iTunes or Quicktime. It happened when I had my last software update I think, but it also effects any movie and most audio files in my web browsers. Any ideas on how to get my sound back? thanks!

found another thread in the quicktime forum that answered my problem, yes!

Closed Captions don't appear when I play my video exported with Premiere Pro CC

So, I've spent some time researching this, but can't seem to get anywhere. I'm fairly new to Premiere Pro and I've created a sequence with closed captions. I've tried exporting several different ways (Quicktime, H264, etc.). I've also been careful to include a sidecar closed caption file or to embed the closed captions within the video when exporting using Quicktime. I've also been sure that both files (the movie and the scc file) are in the same place. I've tried playing different versions of the exported video on Quicktime Player and VLC, but have had no luck getting the closed captions to appear. In Quicktime player I've tried it with the closed captions activated, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. In VLC I've tried the Advanced Open option which enables you to select the subtitles file you want to load with the movie. Once again, no luck. I've tried dragging and dropping the .scc file onto the movie while it plays. I've tried selecting a Subtitle track using the video drop-down menu. Once again, no luck. I've tried exporting from Premiere Pro with the sidecar file as a .mcc file and that didn't work either. I even tried converting the .scc file to an .srt file via some online app.
Anyway, I'm stumped. All I want to do is to get my movie to play with the subtitles with some simple application. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
S.@@

Sorry, Fritz. It's been a while since I really looked at the Closed Captioning help page, and I just assumed that the New Caption workflow is covered there. And a second apology because the state of that page is at least partly my fault insofar as I promised our technical writer months ago that I'd help flesh out this page.
You're not doing anything wrong when it comes to adjusting the start/end times for caption blocks. Caption tracks in the Timeline are basically display-only. The apparent handles are really just indicators; they're not interactive. I believe it's on our roadmap to make them interactive, but I have no idea where that enhancement sits in the priority order.
I'm not sure what you mean about "each caption track block [being] limited to just over 30 seconds." If there's a maximum duration for a caption clip, it's probably up at 12 or 24 hours. I've worked with several that are longer than an hour. As for individual caption blocks within a clip, my memory has grown fuzzy in the months since I worked on the feature, but I think the program does not enforce a limit on the duration you can give a block. However, there may be a limit on how long a given caption block will actually get displayed. I thought that limit was 15 seconds, but I just did a test with blocks of 10, 20, and 40 seconds, and all of them had the full assigned duration in the encoded output. Could be that the limit I'm thinking of is standard-specific... Come Monday, I'll have to check with colleagues who have remained closer to the feature set.
Note that if you add a caption clip to a sequence before you've finished adding the blocks, then you'll need to trim out the clip after increasing its duration by adding blocks.
Lastly, although Premiere supports authoring captions from scratch, the feature set was conceived chiefly for importing captions created in a third-party authoring tool and, as needed, revising the content and adjusting the timing.

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.

Re AppleMan 1958 excellent user tip: How can I import a homemade DVD into iMovie for editing? -
I've followed instructions with success until "You can then FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your video codec. " How do I do that?
I installed MGEG Streamclip 193b8 and used their utility to install quicktimempeg2 and got a message stating it was successfully installed. (I'm on latest Maverick 10.9.2 on iMac) Then I dragged the VIDEO_TS file from my home DVD into the streamclip app. It asked which of 4 files to use, and I selected the first one. Streamclip played the video with the sound. so far so good. but now I cannot figure how to use quicktime player 10.3 to export this vob file out of streamclip.

Thank you for your quick reply and for clearing up my confusion. I'm exporting the first section now. I choose the smallest size, 3x4 but I'd prefer to go higher as this DVD was originally a VHS home movie. I'm wondering if after three conversions (VHS,->DVD->MPEG) the resolution will be so poor as to not support a larger size frame? If it can, what size should I select when I export?

I am under a deadine for a presentation in 8 hours -
My problem is thet a person made a montage from photos and saved it as .MOV file format and the presentation is going to be made on a flat screen TV from a USB mem card or thumb drive -
first problem was card was FAT32 formatted - and I think I understand that for a 5GB file size that ExFAT is required and XP with patches or Windows 7 and Mac OS read this format so not a problem to format USB to be ExFAT - but the TV needs AVI or a MPx format
suggestions???
Thanks in advance

In what file type and compression format did you download the YouTube content? I.e., to avoid such issues, you would normally download the source files as content that is natively compatible with your target player or convert incompatible file type/compression format combinations to files that are compatible with your targeted media player.

Is there any way to create a file compatible with Premiere Pro

Is there any way to create a file in Premiere elements that is compatible with Premiere Pro and that can be used in Premiere Pro

Consternation
The important information that I do not see mentioned nor offered by you.
1.What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system it is running? What version of Premiere Pro do you want to use?
The Premiere Pro Import Supported Formats seem to indicate that it will accept the Premiere Elements project.prel (project file) on Windows Only.
Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Supported file formats
This may or may not be possible depending on damaged projects or outdated elements.
2. If you want to export your Premiere Elements Timeline to a file saved to the computer hard drive and subsequently import that into your Premiere Pro version, that "should" work. You would go to the Premiere Elements Publish+Share/Computer/ and make a selection based on what the Premiere Pro Import Supported file formats are and what you need. I can help you with that. But, details first.
But, just a "beware"...when you get to Premiere Elements 11 or 12 (if that is the version involved) Publish+Share/Computer/ there are several categories, but all you see is Adobe Flash Video, MPEG, and AVCHD. The rest of the list that includes AVI and QuickTime which both need to be scrolled to all of the time to see them, not just sometimes, with the thin scroll bar to the right of the list of choices. You can export files
with AVI file extension, under Publish+Share/Computer/AVI
with MOV file extension, under Publish + Share/Computer/QuickTime
And, if you do not have QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements, you are not going to have presets for the QuickTime export.
Remember, there is more to an export than just its file extension. Know your other export properties as well.
In many cases, you can customize the export settings to suit your requirements.
Problems will exist if you are trying to go from Premiere Elements Windows to Premiere Pro Mac or vice versa.
I would be glad for the opportunity to help you with this issue, but details are needed.
Looking forward to your follow up.
Thanks.

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?

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.

QDesign Music 2 not listed as an export codec - QuickTime Pro 7.7.1

I have the current QuickTime Pro - version 7.7.1. for Windows 7.
I use it for my Web design course on audio & video editing.
One of the export codecs supported by Apple in the past was QDesign Music 2, a very good codec. Now I see that this codec is not listed as an export option under "Movie to Quick Time Movie", after the "Enable coding using legacy codecs" is chosen in preferences.
Currently, according to Apple, the technical specs for QuickTime 7.7 shows the QDesign codec as part of the list of supported codecs for audio, but it shows as "decoding only".
Is this telling me that the codec is only supported to play audio made with the QDesign Music 2 codec? - or does Apple still support the same codec for exporting in QuickTime Pro?
Thanks for your help, I look forward to the answer.

Exporting on quicktime pro

When you export on quicktime pro there are two problems i am looking for a solution to.
1. when quicktime exports large viedio files there is no audio
2. is it faster to use quicktime pro, imovie, or a pc program any sugestions?

If your files are MPEG (1 or 2) formats an export from QT Pro will only yield the video.
Sometimes a file has the .mov extension but it contains "muxed" format tracks. You can see the format (and the codecs used) by opening the Movie Info window.
Mac users can use MPEG Streamclip 1.5.1 (free) to convert MPEG-1 files to QuickTime formats. MPEG-2 files (those ripped from DVD's) require the MPEG-2 Playback Component ($20 from Apple).
