QT 5 Pro Covnersions

[TheEwokThatDied]

Hello. I ma having TERRIBLE trouble with different versions of TMPMPEG crashing while changing .mov's to .mpgs. Does QT5 Pro let you save with choices, like mpegs?

If so I'll pony up the $$$$$ for the upgrade.

Thanks

Either the .Mov File are copy protected or it has corrupted frames
That will cause the tpmeg to fatal crash. Upgrade will not cure the problems. I has already tried that. Now I have removed Quicktime player and the associated crap with it from my PC and will never use it anymore. The Old version .Mov file was encoded with earlier Quicktime gave me no problems until New copyright bullshit that came out recently and thats why newer version quicktime software came out and rendering the old version useless.
Guess my old days are over!

The best software I have seen for doing such conversions is Sonic Foundry's Vegas Video. You need to have the latest version of Quicktime installed and then Vegas Video can read all mov files. I have used this program to convert some of the latest mov trailers off the Apple site (Tomb Raider, Planet of the Apes, Fellowship of the Ring) and all have worked perfectly (it seems to ignore the copyright flags, etc). I render the conversion to AVI using the Huffyuv (compressed lossless codec) format. Then feed this converted file to an mpeg encoder (TMPGEnc, Cinema Craft, etc). You could just save as an uncompressed AVI if you want I just use the Huffyuv format to save disk space so I can convert alot in one go. A 25Mb mov file will render to about 1.5Gb uncompressed AVI or a 400-500Mb Huffyuv AVI.

Video Vegas will even convert the old Lord of the Rings trailer that has all the sprites and get rid of them properly.

You can't encode .mov to .mpg with QT 5 installed if you're using TMPEGEnc. I get an "illegal floating point" error, and I presume you do too. You have to downgrade to QT 4.0, then it should work right, it does for me.

becuz of copyprotection or corrupt frames, tmpgenc will not encode after, say 10% of beginning encode.
QT5 pro will let you export to avi but the quality is really bad n blotchy. I converted the Jay & Silent Bob Trailerz to mjpeg (you can use huffyuv too, or divx) avi'z then fed them to tmpgenc to svcd and use them as trailerz on my svcdz. All this while retaining decent file size and hardly any noticeable loss of quality.
Get a copy of RadToolz and it will let you do the conversion to avi, with no probz...
