Basically I haven't been able to find an MPEG editor/converter that does what I need it to do and that I can afford. If someone knows of a good one, please let me know. Quicktime has it's downsides, that's for sure. But it probably annoys the copywrite owners much less that I'm distributing small clips instead of giant ones- so I guess that's good.

You can Re-encode Mpeg2 movies to quicktime for FinalCut Pro using Cleaner5.0.2 using the following settings. There is no de-interlacing, so you don't lose anything. The files increase in size 10 fold, so make sure you have enough HD space. This procedure gives you quicktime movies suitable for use with final cut. image > image size constrain to 720*480, display size normal, do not deinterlace, field dominance-SHIFT DOWN Some have had good results with their decoder cards.

The most likely explanation is that you have rendered the movie at a higher resolution than your computer can play back with the QuickTime compressor (codec) with which the movie was rendered. Keep in mind that full-motion video at broadcast resolution can not be played back by most computers unless it was rendered with a QuickTime compressor designed for computer play back. Please see the "QuickTime Addendum" chapter of the documentation which discusses these issues in detail.

QuickTime for Windows is what you want to submit. When authored on a Mac, ensure you “flatten” the movie which allows the QuickTime to be played back on a PC.

Though it's not supported with the current version it does work (importing at least). Make sure, in the Import Preferences tab you turn off the two preferences "Only imports filenames that start with 'Clip'" and "Only imports clips with correct type/creator". If you are interested in seeing FootTrack support cataloging non DV quicktime movies do let us know.

DeBabelizer's Batch Automation process enables you to easily process the images contained in a multiple-frame file or a group of multiple-frame files and save them as individual, single-frame files while retaining their original sequence. Click the Auto Naming Options button and set the naming parameters. Use any of the Original Name options and select the checkbox for Add cell number. If you are only processing one multiple-frame file, you can select one of the Use this + increment settings.

Yes. The program understands both cylindrical format QuickTime VR movies as well as the newer cubic format. Quicktime VR movies can be opened by dropping them into the viewer window or onto the app icon.

XAnim, developed by, Mark Podlipec, supports a variety of animations/movies (FLI, FLC, IFF, AVI, Quicktime, MPEG, etc.). XAnim can even play an audio file (WAV format) with an animation that doesn't already contain audio. It has a handy remote-control window with buttons for volume-control and frame-stepping control. Alternate sites: http://www.tm.informatik.uni-frankfurt.de/xanim/ The latest version of xanim, 2.70.6.3, is available at:

I am currently investigating this. It does work on most systems, but there are cases where it doesn't. If you have more detailled info about the cause or when this happens, please tell me.

Unfortunately not. In order to watch movies available on the Peoples Archive website, QuickTime is essential. You can download it here directly from Apple.

Not really. The reason is that only a couple of compression codecs support alpha channels which are needed to produce the effect that you see. These codecs use "lossless" compression techniques which maintain much higher image quality, but are not as efficient as lossy compression schemes like JPEG.

There are a number of reasons why this could be, but there is an easy solution to part of the problem. You can view the movies outside of the CD applications, go to the movies folder on the CD and load the movies directly into Movie Player. There is also an old-movies folder that contains Quicktime movies from the previous version of the book. In the meantime, check to see you have the latest Active X drivers and your graphics card drivers are up to date.

PanaVue ImageAssembler is specialized in stitching. While it can create QuickTime VR panoramas ready for publishing on the web, it cannot edit those QuickTime movies to add features on them. long as a project and its images lie in the same directory, there is no problem moving them around. When you open up an existing project, PanaVue ImageAssembler looks to see if the images are located where they are supposed to be (according to the project).

For using hardware accelerated OpenGL to give smoother VR panning at a high frame rate, for slideshows, cataloging, bookmarking scenic web sites, right-mouse button zooming, fluid fullscreen use, first-person-shooter mode, and so on. Also, CubicNavigator can display VR formats that QuickTime Player can't, such as just-stitched raw equirectangular TIFFs for rapid previews, PTViewer Java content, etc.

Kinoma Player 3 EX is required to play QuickTime movie (.mov) files. There are many different kinds of QuickTime movies. Kinoma Player 3 EX is able to play most QuickTime movies containing MPEG-4 video, JPEG images, AAC audio, and uncompressed audio.

We recommend that you only use movie media files that have NEVER been burned as a VCD or SVCD as these formats have usually been highly compressed, therefore lacking error correction and may have playback difficulties with Media Centre.

DeBabelizer Pro can convert between AVI and QuickTime, and can copy or recompress existing soundtracks in movie files.

DeBabelizer opens each frame as a separate file, and so must request each frame from the file. QuickTime, used primarily for movie playback, must page through the movie to reach that frame, then pass it to DeBabelizer. If possible, create shorter segments of the movie and then put them back together using a Batch Automation Save process.

Yes. We strive to ensure backward compatibility with content created with older versions of QuickTime. In fact, movies created with QuickTime 1 still play today in QuickTime 7.

No. The QuickTime plugin allows QTVR movies to be embedded in web pages where they can appear alongside text and images with information and other material. CubicNavigator includes an OpenGL based viewer which shows purely panoramic content, and is intended for showing it in a more "deluxe" way: for smoother viewing, fullscreen, as a slideshow, etc.

I am trying to edit the AVI file recorded with CamStudio. But your video files, with playback rate at 200 fps (default settings) makes editing very difficult. There are just too many irrelevant frames. When I play back a full-screen AVI file using Windows Media Player by double clicking it, the text and graphics becomes blurred. There are two main reasons for the movie being blurred.

We're basically fans of audiodrama, whether books-on-tape or classic radio shows of old like "The Shadow," "Lights Out Everybody," and "Nightfall." Movies are more expensive and time-consuming to produce. These days book publication can take almost as long. We'd like to do both soon. In the meantime, audio is a convenient and flexible middle ground.

Videodelic directly imports PICT images, JPEG images and QuickTime movies. Most other common still image formats are automatically translated if you have the appropriate File Exchange, Macintosh Easy Open and QuickTime Exchange options turned on. The details vary with the Mac OS version you have installed. Videodelic is capable of rendering and performing at a number of resolutions (512 by 512, 640 by 480, 720 by 480, and 768 by 576).

Chlorine changes the tastes and odor of water. Chlorination can also produce harmful by-products called Trihalomethanes (THMs) which are linked to incidence of cancer. No, the UV unit will use about the same amount of energy as a 60 watt light bulb. It is a cost effective, natural way to increase water quality where microbiological contamination is present and to provide peace of mind where microbiological contamination is a greater risk.

The mohel is a super-specialist, an expert at his profession, who probably possesses more experience at performing circumcisions than most doctors. A mohel may have the opportunity to perform more brisses in a month than some doctors do in an entire year. Doctors may be called away on medical emergencies and have to cancel their participation in your child's circumcision at the last minute.
