Why won't Quicktime movie upload to YouTube?

I made a Flip-4-Mac video using handheld Flip video device....then uploaded to my iMac as an .avi file.  Decided to upload to YouTube but file was nearly 30 minutes long....  so then used the QuickTime Player 10.0 (133)  'trim' feature to divide video into 3 (not quite equal) parts.  This left me with 3 separate videos labeled Part 1, Part 2, Part 3.  They are .mov files.
Using QuickTime's 'Upload to YouTube' option, I began upload of Part 1. During upload, a message appeared saying audio might not be in sync, and then I got an error message saying upload couldn't be completed. 
Anyone have any ideas?   Is the VeeScope Converter an option?

Thanks, but the instructions within those links are too over the top for me.  Will have to find a techie to help sort it out.  Appreciate the links and will print out the info.
Then switch your editing work flow to one that forces recompression of your files for sharing to YouTube. The fact that your current work flow goes from AVI to MOV file containers implies you could be using a "Save as..." operation rather than an H.264/AAC conversion. This means your MOV file main still contain whatever audio and video codecs were used to create the original AVI file. Since you did not tell us what compression formats are involved here, provide a specific work flow, indicate the duration or target display involved, all we can do is make guesses at what problems you may be experiencing and their possible solutions. If you do not understand the instructions as provided by YouTube for optimal uploads, the use an editing app that also shares your edited files directly to YouTube as such apps should export the edited content using compression formats currently compatible with the YouTube web site software.

  • Why wont my finished movie upload to youtube

    why wont my movie upload to youtube it just says its uploading and when its finished i check youtube and its not there!

    Have you tried exporting it to a .avi or .mp4 then uploading it? That might work if it doesn't work straight out of iMovie.

  • Why won't Elements 8 upload to youtube?

    Last year we made many videos and upload to youtube from Elements 8. Now we've tried to upload some new ones, and the title screen is different, where you type title and description, and when you click upload nothing happens.

    This is the one I just tried, a storybook video that is actually comprised of jpeg's we drop in to make the storybook videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpUd2XA6eSU&list=UUK5fkf1q7pG0MWNkR1fr4cQ&index=1
    This is our regular youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/tangerineskyvideo
    We've uploaded many this way, and it always worked. Now, when we click upload, Premiere freezes, it just doesn't do anything. Most of the TV stations we're involved with are on the Roku, so they should be able to grab the existing youtube videos we have, but one of the stations is a cable station in England and the guy said youtube distorts it, so he had us email some videos via wetransfer.com. So, we saved them as mpeg's and sent a few, but then saw that the ones we saved as mpeg's, directly from Premiere, the sides were cut off. So,we need to be able to figure out how to save them widescreen from Premiere, because then we'd be able to manually upload to youtube.

    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Preferences/com.apple.quicktimeplayer.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

  • Why won't my imatch upload cds I downloaded onto my iphone?

    why won't my imatch upload cds I downloaded onto both my computers onto my iphone?

    I'm not entirely understanding your question. Are you asking why iTunes Match doesn't scan, match and upload content from an iOS device? If so, it is because the service does not work that way. The service only scans an iTunes library and for music to be available in the cloud it must be in the iTunes library.
    Music ripped from CDs is scanned, matched and uploaded as long as the tracks meet the minimum requirements.

  • HT3775 why won't quicktime play .mp4?

    why won't quicktime play .mp4? I just downloaded a 1.2 gig mp4 video that won't play.

    Thanks. I just found it strange that it was one of many files that I ripped from a DVD ( part of a box set of a TV series, and all the others were fine so far. Funny that this one in particular was causing a problem.

  • WHY WON\'T QUICKTIME HOME MOVIE PLAY ON TOUCHSMART

    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Have you installed the quicktime software from Apple? There are other players that may also have the required codecs to play the video.
    That is what is required in order to play a quicktime movie.

  • 1st movie uploaded to youtube plays @ double speed

    Using a 4-year-old 13" MacBook with iMovie HD 6.0.3 I created a 36-second video which, when uploaded to youtube, has the video playing at double speed but the audio playing normally until the audio gets cut off since the video now has been reduced to 19 seconds in length.
    On the youtube help forum I see others who have had a similar problem are being asked for info obtained from a freeware app called MediaInfo which gives all the particulars on codecs, I guess, but that software is not available for Mac.
    Afraid I have not kept up to date on movies—am doing this for a friend and have no idea what to do. So far no one has responded to my query on the forum. Any direction would be appreciated.

    There aren't any settings in iDVD that would increase or decrease the speed of a video, so you may want to take a look at the Quicktime movie properties to see if it was compressed by cutting the frames per second in half (eg, 15 frames/sec rather than the standard 30 fps).
    If the original is 15 fps, you might try running a sample through MPEG Streamclip, iMovie, Quicktime Pro, Roxio Toast... to see if one of those can add frames back into the video so it's the standard 30 fps. I've not encountered this before, so don't fool around with your original and search the archives here and over in the forums associated with the software mentioned.

  • Why doesn't QuickTime movies play on iPad?

    When I get a QuickTime movie attachment in email why won't it play on my ipad2. I thought QuickTime was a Apple product?

    You can only use QuickTime Player 7 to play that 12 year old format.

  • Why won't QuickTime Pro 7.0.4 open my MIDI files?

    Have QT Pro 7.0.4, OS 10.4.6, Safari 2.0.3 on eMac computer. Downloaded MIDI from Classical Music Archives but file won't open. When try to open it, get message on eMac screen "QT cannot open the file tmcpsolf.mid It is not a file that QT understands (-2048)". I could open MIDI files from any source easily in OS 9.0.4 with QT Pro.
    I checked MIME settings in QT preferences, and MIDI is checked as "on".
    Also can't open MIDI file in eMac of piano music I saved on floppy disk from my Yamaha digital piano MIDI recorder. Get same message as above.
    What can I do to get QT to open and play MIDI? Thank you.
    eMac   Mac OS X (10.4)  

    Hello,
    Sorry for such a long message, but I want to make sure you have all the correct information. Issue #1 is still unsolved. Issue #2 I solved (see below).
    Issue #1: QuickTime Pro 7.0.4 won't open Midi files created by external Midi recorder. QT does not recognize Midi file.
    Just to clarify, I have a digital piano without USB, so I can't connect the piano to my new eMac to record my music with a suitable computer based Midi recorder/synthesizer and related program. This is my first attempt at recording Midi on an external, not computer based Midi recorder.
    I have never tried to use any Midi recording process with my old iMac, OS 9.0.4, QuickTime 5.x
    A few days ago I purchased an old (but new, never been used), Midi recorder which does not have USB but it connects to my piano to record as Midi what I play and save on its built in floppy disk. I use the in and out Midi portals on my piano and Midi recorder to send signals back and forth to the recorder, and play the music back in the piano so I can hear what I just played. That part works fine. The recorder is limited to only one Midi track per file for
    recording music.
    The floppy is MicroSoft DOS format which I initialized with the recorder before using it per the recorder's manual.
    After recording several Midi files in the floppy, I wanted to hear them in my eMac and e-mail them. I assumed the Midi format would be recognized by eMac, regardless of the MicroSoft DOS format of the floppy, and that QuickTime would open them. Isn't .mid a generic extension recognized by Mac and QT as a Midi file?
    The eMac displayed the Midi files (.mid) on the desktop (I used Imation SuperDisk external floppy drive to transfer the Midi files to eMac). When I double clicked on these files to open them, I got the message I quoted above in my first posting, that QuickTime did not recognize the Midi file.
    Perhaps my recorder has some sort of code it assigns to the Midi it records that the Mac and/or QuickTime can't recognize? Or QT won't recocgnize a one track Midi file?
    Do you have any guess as to why QT won't recognize my .mid files?
    Issue #2: QT won't open Midi music I download from classicalarchives.com
    This issue I solved a few hours ago - see below.
    In my old iMac, OS 9.0.4 I would double click and listen to Midi music files at classicalarchives.com or any other url via QuickTime Pro 5.x, no problems.
    I also downloaded, saved and opened them with QT 5.x
    In new eMac, when I double click the Midi file on web, QT automatically opens usual player window and I can listen to Midi OK.
    When I save file as "Source" from the above QT window, it is a Midi file (.mid) which QT will not open on the desktop, I get identical "not recognized" message I get with Midi recorder files.
    I found a solution to opening and hearing the downloaded file as follows:
    When I save Midi file via QT player window as "QuickTime Movie" (.mov), I can open it with QT and listen to it. So, Issue #2 is solved in order to listen to the Midi I download.
    Thank you for your time and trouble. Please advise re Issue #1 before we close this case as "unsolved".
    Generosa

  • Why won't my .mov files play?

    Hello, I need to convert .mov files into another format, but I can't even play the .mov files on my Mac w/Snow Leopard and Quicktime 10.0. Why is that? What do I need to at least play them back on my MacBook Pro? Thank you, gharaldson

    There's a number of reasons that they may not play.
    .MOV is what's called a "container". Namely it stores audio and video streams in any format and then includes descriptive information about that data to help select the software (codecs) required to play them back.
    A QuickTime movie won't playback if it's: a.) not actually a quicktime movie, b.) a damaged file (data is corrupted), or c.) the content was encoded using a method that isn't part of standard quicktime.
    Generally speaking, if you use Quicktime or Apple applications, then they will encode audio and video using one of the mechanisms built into Quicktime. However, it's possible to create valid Quicktime files using other software that uses encoding mechanisms not in the standard Quicktime bundle. Software like FFMPEG and VLC can be used to produce such files, for example.
    Do you have an error that indicates the nature of the problem?

  • Why Won't QuickTime Play Video?

    Hi,
    I use a Power Mac G4; run Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger; QuickTime 7.6.4.  Why won't QT play the following video:
    www.globalwebsupply.com/images/mdsmarttool.asx  ?

    I use a Power Mac G4; run Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger; QuickTime 7.6.4.  Why won't QT play the following video:
    www.globalwebsupply.com/images/mdsmarttool.asx  ?
    1) The Advanced Stream Redirector (ASX) format is not supported by QT X.
    2) The Advanced Stream Redirector (ASX) format is not supported by QT 7 without third-party support such as the Fil4Mac WMV components.
    3) Even the Flip4Mac WMV component only "supports a small subset of the ASX file format."
    On my system:
    1) Trying to play the file directly in QT X using the "Open Location..." option returns the fillowing message, "The movie 'mdsmarttool.asx' can’t be opened because the file is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands. The file may be damaged or may not be a movie file that is compatible with QuickTime Player."
    2) Trying to play the file directly in QT 7 using the "Open URL..." option returns the following message in the "Inspector" window, "Movie Unavailable."
    3) Trying to download the linked file does nothing. (Aborts action without any message.)
    4) Trying to open the URL in Safari returns the following message, "The operation couldn't be completed. A Microsof Media Server (MMS) error was encountered. (-19160) Try again. If the problem persists, contact the website administrator."
    Based on these results, it would appear that there may either be an access problem or a file type support problem.
