Im trying to convert .mov files to .mp4 (you can guess why), but the files arent allowing it. In Quicktime Pro, I get the following message:
"Couldn't export the movie '...' because this movie does not allow saving"
Ive used Rad tools and was successful in converting the file to .avi, with no sound, but when I try to convert that .avi file to .mp4, I get the same message that I did with Quicktime Pro.
To convert files to .mp4, Im using a PSP specific program that converts most all files to .mp4 with various, pre-set dimensions. Its called PSP Video9. I think the only 2 formats it has problems converting are certain .mov and .wma files.
-What can I do to unlock this video?
-Is there a program that can convert .mov to .mp4 directly?
If anyone wants to take their own stab at this, 1 of the 5 .mov files Im trying to convert is the Star Wars Clone Wars Episode 21.mov, downloaded off of Starwars.com directly (should be legal).
Heres the link - Its about 50mb
Sar Wars Clone Wars Episode 21
Thanks

Doesnt work.
Its doesnt tell me much, other than just 'Fail'
Anyone else have any ideas? -
Its honestly that these files are" locked" somehow. And no ammount of converting is unlocking them.
I was only able to convert these files to .avi with a program called 'Something Something Cleaner' (forgot the name). But it added a permanent watermark, distorted the picture dimensions, and was still "locked" from being converted into anything else.
Bummer... -
I downloaded the file (animation) from the link you gave above and was able to convert about 5-6 min of it to mpeg-2 with TMPGEnc. You have to make sure that the quick time filter priority is set to the highest.
