Any help on this is much appreciated.

I need to export a quicktime movie that is a motion jpeg to DVCPRO50 NTSC. Whenever I go to export a quicktime movie using quicktime conversion, the application crashes.

Has anybody else experienced similar problems?

Thanks in advance.

Oh yeah, i gave up on this one... never worked for me.


Good luck !
Yossarian
was it just the dv codecs for you or was it any quicktime conversions?
marianisla
any quicktime conversion in any of the apps from the suit ( FCP, Motion.....) i use Visualhub to make conversions, or mpeg stremclip to make dv files
Yossarian
Huh, that's weird and saddening. Is there a reason for this or is not having one reason enough?
aberracus
thats false, compressor works perfectly translating anything ot any other thing.

the only real problem is with DVSTUDIO PRO 4 wich closes itslef working with mpg movies..

Wayland r u having the same problem?
marianisla
In my system Compressor works real fine, but here we are talking about Quicktime Conversion, and in my case, never worked...
aberracus
oh my quicktime conversion works perfect.
compressor too
is dsp4 wich doesnt accept mpg files to work with it..

mpg files are not supported. you must demux to m2v and ac3
Yossarian
Is this an error with quicktime? Is there any clue to the cause?
aberracus
sorry i was meaning m2v and ac3s.. but i will try again

keep in touch, i had the same error when i updated to 10.4.7 and ran Pro Applications Update from Apple ...
so i reinstalled OSX. keep 10.4.6 and never did an update anymore...

mpg import works perfect, BUT Quicktime Conversions doesn't

You rang? smile.gif I haven't done too many conversions, but what I did do, DID have problems originally when I went to 10.4.6, after 10.4.7 it seemed to be ok. Something inside of the compressor program REALLY doesn't like pieces missing here and there. I tried working on it here and there, but was really unsuccessful. I did most of my export as uncompressed and then threw it over to my PC to do the rest, which it REALLY doesn't like FCP quicktime files. They preview as junk, but when compressed work fine. It's a weird toss-up. Either way I'm getting a Mac Pro finally so I can do everything on one system. If I come up with anything of how to make it work, I'll let ya know.

This issues seems to have been resolved for me by updating from 10.4.6 to 10.4.8 along with updating to the latest Quicktime.

I did a fresh install of the OS instead of updating it. I have not tried DVD Studio Pro yet.
