Import Video

[JEB]

Hi,

It’s been a while since I’ve posted here but I’m still quite a regular user of PTE.

I am doing some initial planning for a new sequence in which I would like to include some Google Earth Pro video which I notice is exported as an M4V file that will not open in PTE. I can’t find within PTE Help a listing of what file formats are compatible as I assume I will have to find some means of converting the M4V file.

Any suggestions would be appreciated from anybody who has been down this particular road.

Regards

John

Hi,

 

PTE 10 and 10.5 open M4V film.

John,

What version of PTE you use? 

See the comment above.

If you have an older version, try to rename .M4V file to .MP4. It may help. Usually M4V means that this file contains only video stream without audio.

Hi Igor,

Thank you for your reply.

According to the Help About screen I am using the latest version 10.0, though from what I can see there is a 10.5. When I check for latest version I'm told I'm running the latest version.

I have now downloaded 10.5 but it still will not recognise the .M4V files so I will later tonight create another file from Google Earth and try to import again.

Cheers

Hi,

I reloaded GoogleEarth Pro, created a .M4V and PTE accepted it. Must have been a corrupt file. Though I have also upgrade PTE to 10.5.

 

Thanks for your help.

John,

Glad that your resolved this issue. The most likely the old file was corrupt. Versions 10.0 and 10.5 have the same level of support for video files. Correctly created M4V videos should be supported.

In case of any problem, you can use a free converter HandBrake to convert and optize an original video file.
