Video Converter Compatibilty Output Codec?

Hi Gang

Yes unfortunately I'm still in 10.4 which eliminates the capability to download any type of MTS converter software which I'll need to convert PAL to NTSC.

'ClipWrap2' and others are all designed for 10.5 or 10.6

Work Around: I also use a Dell PC with Windows 7. I found a program called 'Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate' which during the trail period successfully converted a piece, (watermarked), into a QT file. I then brought it over to my G5 and was able to open and play it in QT 7.6.4

Soon as I legally paid for and registered 'Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate', the newly converted files would cause QT and Streamclip in my G5 to Crash.

I tried converting to straight up QT as well as MPEG-4, same result ....

QT Inspector Window shows:

H.264

1440X1080

AAC Stereo 48kHz

FPS: 50

Data Rate: 8.84 mbits/s

Ummmm?

Any ideas?

Update

Another 'Work-Around'

I was able to open the same problematic QT clip in FC6, and export it as a 'Self-Contained File', (which played fine in QT). Then re-import it back into FC6 and then export a normal MPEG4, and it also played fine.

Solution:

Fortunately, 'Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate' also provides a setting for converting HD to SD 720X480, and a nice feature of converting to 24P, (which matches my current project).

When I exported using these settings, I was able to get QT 7.6.4 to play the files without issue, and edit in FC6.

Thank you

Mike
