I am trying to convert an mp4 from Vimeo, to a Quicktime file. When i put it into streamclip, and try to export only 3 min. of the 20 min. movie, I get an error msg. stating that the movie is 'too long'... It's only 20 min., and only need 3 min., so, am not sure why am getting that msg. I also tried opening up the file, and exporting to quicktime mov., and only exports the audio, but no video... An
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
If you open the file in Quicktime, what does command i report for this file? Post a screenshot.

Here is the screenshot...thanks...
Thanks. I didn't spot anything weird from the Inspector window.
Just to recap. Is this what you did? Open the MP4 in MPEG Streamclip. Make a selection of 3 minutes by setting in and out points. From File drop down, Export to QuickTime. Choose compression. Make Movie>Save.
And that's when you get your "too long" error message…or is that when you get a file with no video? (Or do I have the steps wrong?)
I did open in the mp4 in Streamclip, selected in/out points, totalling 3 min..., treid to export to quicktime, and then got the error msg. saying the movie was 'too long'...
When I tried exporting from quicktime, to 'moive to quicktime movie', that's what only exports audio, and not video...
I've never seen this before, I always use mpeg streamclip, to export an mp4 to quicktime...thanks for your help...
