mandarinfish Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 I posted this in the video->disk forum, but not sure that was the right place. Is there any way to create a QT movie from the PTE avi file? I have tried, but get an error from QT Pro that it can't read everything in the AVI file. This is using PCM audio and PTE video encoding.Thanks.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guru Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Hi Linda!You cannot make a QT file with PTE. But you can make an AVI file ("Create custom AVI video file"), and then convert this to QT format. However, I'm not sure you'll get great results...

Yes, I understood about using the AVI file. The problem I was having was converting from the AVI file to QT, using QT Pro. I did successfully create a QT file, after I found a QT compatible video codec. But you are right; the quality was horrible. I'm now trying to figure out how LiveSlideshow does it. They create a fairly good QT movie from still images without creating a huge file, but retaining detail in the still images. I don't know what compression they are using. If I could use similar compression in the PTE AVI file, I should be able to get that quality, unless Liveslideshow is doing something tricky with the framerate and transitions.

Guest guru Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Linda, you haven't to use PTE Avi file, but a low-compression Avi with the first choice of the "Video" window ("Create custom AVI video file"), and then converting it to QT with LiveSlideshow. I think you can get good results using "PNG High" option. But you must find a very good AVI codec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
