QuickTime Saves Avi's?

Voices_Of_Ryan · Post by **Voices_Of_Ryan** » Sat Jan 17, 2004 1:44 pm

So after reinstalling adobe and it still not importing .Mov files,
I figured I'd ask around to see if there was a way to change .mov to avi.

I asked Absolutedestiny and he told me there was a way to do it right in quicktime if I had the latest quick time, so I upgraded.

But I still don't see a way.

Anyway, anyone know anyways or?

EOvideo works pretty good

Not sure what AD is talking about

There is a way!

I export some mov files as avi any time I need to convert them..

File - Export - (Export to AVI tab on the bottom)

Then go to the options tab next to the Export to AVI drop-down
There you have two settings you need to work on.
Video settings (with check box)
Audio settnigs (with check box)

Here you can edit either of the settings. But if you want the full quality,
you would have to export as Uncompressed in both settings.

Then what I usually do is import it into VirtualDub or do an AVS script
and work out some of the minor imperfections!
Then I export in Huffy.

But then again, I have Quicktime Pro...

Um yeah... when I said "Quicktime" I meant the full program not just the player.

I hate using software sometimes...

You gotta buy it after 30 days.
So if I ever wanna rip to dvd's again.
My computers gotta read 4/29/02 for tmpg to make mpeg2's...

I am so cheap.

If you have the 3ivx splitters and ffdshow you can use graphedit to convert them. I would trust it more than EO, anyway.
It's kind of advanced, but here's what you do. Get graphedit somewhere (google), and hit render media file under the file menu. You should get a bunch of boxes connected like awesomeporno.mov -> 3ivX D4 Media Splitter -> ffdshow mpeg-4 video decoder -> video renderer.
What you want to do, then, is highlight the boxes and pins coming from "audio output" on the 3ivx splitter, and delete the pin that says video renderer. Then go to Graph>Insert Filters, scroll down to video compressors and choose huffyuv or whatever codec you're recompressing to, scroll up to DirectShow Filters and insert the "AVI Mux" filter and the "File writer" filter, which will ask you to pick somewhere to save your file. Pick somewhere and type "whatever.avi" (just remember to type the extension, .avi). Then drag the output from huffyuv/whatever to avi mux's input pin, and avi mux's output into the filewriter's input. By now the graph should look like awesomeporno.mov -> 3ivX D4 Media Splitter -> ffdshow mpeg-4 video decoder -> Huffyuv v2.1.1 - CCESP Patch v0.2.2 -> AVI Mux -> awesomeporno.avi.
Press the green play button up top and you're gold.

Of course, that'll only work if the video is sorenson or some codec that ffdshow can decode :|

Heh, you know, if ffvfw was up to date you would even be able to bypass recompression and edit the sorenson1/3 video in avi. I'm sitting here watching a sorenson 1 simcity demo video in an avi, which is awesome because it's not supposed to be.
