Apple Quicktime Player For Windows 10 64 Bit

[Argenta Sugden]

Ireally like that QuickTime can easily and quickly record screencasts. But can someone please explain how I can save or export the resulting video in a format that will be playable on Windows natively? By natively I mean with no QuickTime, and no extra codecs etc. So actually all I want to do is be able to export a format that is the most comptaible across all platforms. I want to ensure that if I send a video of screenshot help to a client who uses Windows, that it will work without any problem at all.

The options in the export confuse me a little: "Movie", "480p", "720p", "iPod Touch & iPhone 3GS", "iPad, iPhone 4 & Apple TV". But on experimenting they all seem to export to .mov, and when I check that file format in my Windows XP install, it's not recognised. Is there a way to export to avi?

The files should play "natively" in any Windows media player that "natively" supports standard MPEG-4/AVC video such as VLC. MPEG-4/AVC (H.264) video is most commonly wrapped in an MP4, M4V, or MOV file container. Since H.264 (MPEG-4/AVC) is the default video codec used by Apple (and most third-party) screen recording apps, if you want the finished content in a different compression format and/or file container, you will have to convert the screen recording yourself after capture.

Good luck! Unfortunately, you will always find a number users who have differing ideas regarding what constitutes the "best" compression format for this "cross platform" compatibility. (I personally am quite satisfied with MPEG-4/AVC since it is also used as a basis for Blu-ray and AVCHD content as well.)

With the exception of the "Movie" option which, if the original video and/or audio compression format are already QT compatible, can perform a "Save as..." action which merely copies the original audio and/or video data to an MOV file container, unlike all other options that convert the video to H.264 (MPEG-4/AVC). Also, you must have skipped testing all of the device targeted/iTunes managed formats which end up in M4V file containers. With regard to your "recognition" problem, what player were you using and did you also test the files with the extension manually changed to MP4?

There are many options out there. For instance, does your "native" media player play H.264 (MPEG-4/AVC) content in an MKV (more modern than AVI) file container? If so, you could try the free HandBrake app to convert your screen recodings. As I had not previously tried this option, I created and posted an MKV anamorphic 2048x1440 (2560x1440) H.264 test sample file captured on my system. You can try downloading and testing it under your Windows OS.

I think the basic question is: Is there a setting to record a quicktime screencast that saves as an MP4? I typically do the screencast and have to then convert in Mpeg Streamclip. This takes a lot of time than just taking the screencast!

I've "heard" that we can convert Audio Recording to Mp3 but opening in iTunes but I don't understand exactly the steps. I am wondering if this is something similar with the screencasts and IF the options in quicktime to export to iPad, iPod etc or Audio only do something like this for us so one doesn't have to take the time of converting in Mpeg Streamclip.

If you are referring to "standardized" H.264/AAC compressed data in an MOV or M4V file container or AAC audio in an MOV file container, then in most cases the easiest way to "change" an MOV or M4V file into an MP4 file is to simply change the ".mov" or ".m4v" file extension to ".mp4" in the Finder. (I.e., simply select the old filename extension, type ".mp4" and confirm that you want to use the new extension when asked.) Since most media players don't check file container internals to ensure the container format, such "changed" files play normally without problem. In those cases where a media player may actually check the container format or the source file contains extraneous data tracks which are not compatible with the MP4 file container, the recommended solution is to use the "Save As..." file option in an app like MPEG Streamclip to copy the H.264 and/or AAC compressed data to an MP4 file container. (I.e., this solution is much faster than "conversion" and strips extraneous track data from the target file as it is copied to the new file.)

I am wondering if this is something similar with the screencasts and IF the options in quicktime to export to iPad, iPod etc or Audio only do something like this for us so one doesn't have to take the time of converting in Mpeg Streamclip.

Since QT X does not directly support targeted MP3 recordings and support of QT 7 Pro conversions appears to be in the process of being phased out, it is probably best to either use iTunes or a third-party conversion app to create MP3 specific audio files. (I.e., MP3 will probably be replaced by the more modern AAC MPEG-4 audio format for streaming and "fast start" web use over the next decade.)

I also found in couple places (and someone replied to me) that all we have t do is physically change the extension. i tried it and sent it to a find and they couldn't play it. Anything to say about this?

I'm saying the same H.264/AAC track data can be stored in an MOV, MP4, or M4V file container. Whether or not the data can be played depends on the media player used by the Windows user. (I.e., all three should be playable on a Windows system in a media app like VLC but might not be playable in other Windows media players.)

Again, this depends on the media player the recipient is using. To be playable, the media player must support the file container, be able to decode the data, and be programmed to do both. Of the three file containers, the MP4 is likely to be the most compatible across platforms since Apple limits track data to MPEG-4 or H.264 video and/or AAC audio. As previously mentioned, if your recipient can't play an MOV or M4V file whose filename extension was changed to MP4, then try using the MPEG Streamclip "Save As..." File menu option to "copy" the MOV or M4V H.264/AAC track data to a new MP4 file as depicted below:

As previously stated, this approach is much faster than using a "conversion" option since does not recompress the data but merely copies it from the old MOV file and stores the same data in new MP4 file.

Hi,

I've installed Win 3.1 in DOSBox 0.72 along with the S3 video drivers that I found links for in these forums. I've been wanting to get the 1995 Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia up and running - my favorite multimedia encyclopedia, which I haven't been able to use for years. When I install it, the install goes through perfectly, then the install of the Apple Quicktime Movie Player 2.01 begins after Grolier is installed. It goes all the way to 100% then gives a message that the install was canceled and unsuccessful. When I try to launch Grolier, I get an error that says something like "QT initialization failed" and Grolier crashes. So then I tried to install the 1994 and 1996 version. The 1994 version works perfectly. Instead of Quicktime, it installs some Windows Movie Player.

When I install the 1996 version, everything installs perfectly, including the Quicktime Movie Player 2.03. But when I go to load the '96 Grolier, eveything works fine except the movies. When I open the Quicktime player from within windows 3.1 and not in the encyclopedia, it says it can't play the movie. After the '96 version of Grolier was installed, I then tried the '95. It opened! Yayy!, ? but it couldn't play any movies ? just like the '96 version.

So it's obviously the Movie Player. Is there anyone that knows a fix or anything I can try to get this to work? Thanks.

After re-reading the title of the thread, I just wanted to make something clear. This is Windows 3.1, not 2.0x. The version of Quicktime is 2.01 which is included with the '95 Grolier and the 2.03 version included with the '96 Grolier.

Quicktime players for Windows 3.x were a royal pain in the... and afterwards Quicktime 3.x or so made all the Quictime based CDs like your encxclopedia not working... I may take a look soon with my multimedia CDs...

Yes, I've browsed around the forum and saw that Games were the top priority for DOSBox. I thought there might be a Graphical, Memory, etc. setting that someone might know about that I could change that would make it work. I also thought that since there are several games that only can be run from Windows 3.1 and not from a DOS prompt, that 3.1 would be on the list to make more compatible. Also, I think there are games that use the Quicktime Player. And where else on the Net would I have any chance of getting the solution? ?

When I was learning Portable Executable (PE) file format for windows, tools like PE-Explorer and PEView helped me in learning things quickly and nicely. Now, I need to learn and understand the apple quick time file format. Are there any

There is also the old Dumpster tool from Apple. There is an old version of this tool for Windows, but I could not find it in the Apple developer site. This forum post has a copy that you can try. This is very old though, I'm not sure if it'll work with recent QT files.

I don't know of any public tool for this. Your best bet is to extend MP4 Explorer to do this, or write your own parser. Parsing the atoms is actually pretty simple, things start to get complicated when you need to interpret the content of the atoms and cross-reference them to, for example, locate where the frame data is.
