QuickTime 7 Pro for Windows

Does what I expected it to do; no problem, very easy.

I have tried so many other free programs to convert video into different formats, and always with underwhelming results. Finally gave in and bought this because I needed to convert my large .avi files into .mp4 files using the H.264 codec (it is generally great quality and reduces file size significantly for storage).... plus I am sick of wasting so much time having problems with other converting programs (even Handbrake didn't achieve this properly for me). FIgured it's just time to pay the 30 bucks. So, I paid, downloaded program, and started converting...in a couple hours I have almost finished converting 50 of my videos! I am hugely pleased, and relieved to finally use a program that works like a pro. I work with video a lot and understand all the basics, so this to me was a snap. In fact, I even cued it up to encode some 8 videos at ONE TIME, and it just did so, all with great results (so far). My guess is the bad reviews could be from people who don't understand video and codecs, etc. Most of the professional video people I know use this regularly or at least have this program, to convert their file types.

QT Pro 7 Works great

Written by SD from Angwin

Oct 21, 2009

I have had great luck with QT Pro 7, on my MacBook.
I remember the PC days, ,,,boy I will never go back!
Too many bugs and spy bots, ect,, slowing things down, I think that is half the problem with most of the PC users. You will first probably have to re-format your hard drive, you know,,,Re install your operating system.
That is why I switched to a Mac, every thing works better over here. Try it. For at least 1 year.
You won't go back.

A Truly Great Piece of Software

Written by JG from SAN FRANCISCO

Oct 20, 2009

I think that as both a Mac OS & Windows user, this is an all around great product. There are some who may disagree with me, who are entitled to their opinion. However, they need to take a closer look. There are so countless advantages to this software, If set up and installed properly, users can easily master the video editing techniques that only come from Quicktime Pro. As both a teacher, and a computer software developer, I think this is essential to successful multimedia development

Excellent and lightweight tool

Written by SK from New Hyde Park

Quicktime Pro is a great little tool and is incredibly useful for little editing tasks and video conversion. It is not hard to get a lot out of it with a little research. If you are converting video from one format to another you might just need to read up on codecs (its not as complicated as it sounds). There is not a fancy interface and it may require you to use your brain just a little, but someone of even average intelligence should have no trouble making simple edits and exporting to an appropriate format. I have used free editing software and software/hardware editing suites costing as much as a small car - Quicktime Pro is THE editing tool I would choose if I could only have one.

Basic, but Useful and Simple

Written by JB from Holden

Sep 28, 2009

QT Pro has the right price tag -- it's better (more reliable and simpler to use) than most free or similarly-price applications for either OS X or Windows. On the other hand, it's got a reduced feature set and oversimplified editing controls as compared to full video-editing tools. Don't expect flashy over-the-top "Movie Maker"-type features.

Exporting is solid, supporting quite a few formats. It's been easily extended to support 3rd party compressions/formats as needed, although I'm definitely more of a casual user.

I first bought QT Pro 5 for Windows back when I hated Apple, and had a handful of video editing apps from Adobe and others. QT Pro was the first Apple app that I [begrudgingly] used...then came iTunes. A year later I bought a Mac. The reliability, simplicity, and overall usefulness appealed to me; I just needed to get the job done. QT Pro gets the job done.

IT WORKS FINE... you just have to play with it

Written by JF from Austintown

Sep 17, 2009

The only reason this product does not get 5 stars is that I did have to mess with settings for about 20 minutes until I got what I wanted...

Specifically, when exporting to AVI, us the "DV PAL" compression instead of the Cinepak compression and make the quality "Best". It looks just as good as the QT version.

IF YOUR NOT A PRO, THEN DONT BUY!!!!

Written by RC from Pompano Beach

Jul 28, 2009

It seems most of the complaints are do to amatuers trying to use a pro product. If you dont understand video codecs and encoding then dont buy. You cant expect to get HD video by converting your cell phone videos or .WMVs, It just doent work. You cant add data to the file, you can only compress. Its like taking a small low resolution .jpeg and blowing it up, see all the pixels.
I know how to use QTP and it works everytime, all the time. For $30 its a steal.

NOT USER FRIENDLY

Written by LH from cameron

Would NOT have bought if I had been able to test the software before buying. Is NOT user friendly. Has been very time consumeing. Have used much easier software from other vendors. Just 1 more thing to add to the list of my dissatisfaction with apple products.

Low quality, last Apple purchase

Written by JV from Duluth

Jul 9, 2009

Wanted to dump DV into HIGH quality files for archiving family videos -not for creating more rubble to put on the Web at low bandwidth or to display on a 2-inch screen, which is apparently what this is really for. Picked QuickTime in part because one camera I have defaults to saving in that format, plus all the hype about H.263 or whatever on the Apple site. Read a few reviews, thought it was a safe $30. WRONG!! The imports it saved are low-quality, and the Quicktime player made jaggie low quality junk of files I'd done elsewhere. You know that it's bad when the free Microsoft product operates better and displays the results better. Of course there's no satisfaction guarantee. So much for warm fuzzy cutesie Apple. They took my money and ran laughing. Won't make that mistake again --and will pass the word, I promise!

No worries exporting to AVI works well.

Written by JN from Camp Hill

Jun 23, 2009

For the novice computer user, they may have difficulty exporting a .MOV file to .AVI. But for anyone who is familiar with a computer and can change a few default settings AVI can be created while still keeping the high quality content as seen in a Quicktime .MOV file. You just need to change your export options to BEST, which is zero compression, which equals zero degradation.

Okay but not great

Written by EA from Tivoli

Jun 9, 2009

I purchased this product to export .mov files to .avi files so I could use them. It does do it BUT the quality isn't great. After playing with the quality settings in the export window, I was able to improve the quality but it still isn't great. I will use them with this project as it doesn't need to be great but if you need high quality this isn't the product for you. Just in case you're wondering the videos in the .mov format when viewed in quicktime were good quality just not after being exported to AVI.

now after reading reviews I have to worry about it crashing itunes. Oh well I may have to update this if that happens.

The only purpose for my buying this worthless product was to convert .m4v to other formats which will work on Windows. It absolutely positively 100% cannot do this. Don't waste your money.

working on a Vista HP dual core:
Project: Show reel for my video work

All day I have been dealing with A.E.'s codec issues. Finally broke down and bought the upgrade after hours of false workarounds. Was scared away at first by the bad reviews but it appears there are an abundant sum of clueless users. All my exports have worked smoothly, as well as imports. Speed I can not say as my files are 1080p trasfers to PNG images at 45 FPS. Love this product and wish I had bit the bullet 4 hours ago.

Works Great!

Written by CW from Arlington

Apr 26, 2009

Despite the scare of many 1-star reviews, I had no problems with QuickTime Pro. It took about 30 minutes to: install access code onto Vista laptap (Core2 Duo), edit a QuickTime clip taken with my camera, export to AVI, and insert it into a PowerPoint show. Controls were adequate, fast conversion with status indicator, equivalent file sizes (~18 MB) and excellent quality! Everything worked great! Only issue was that MS would not accept MPEG-4, so I went instead with the AVI. Obviously, I can't guarantee it for other formats or applications, but it does everything I need quite well.

You have to know what you are doing! I saved an audio file from the internet "as a source" and I can't get it to my itunes library. I can't even get Quick time to play it. If you are there (KM from Calgary), have pity and help me - if that's possible.

Formatting Issues

Written by SC

Mar 23, 2009

I recently purchased a new Pansonic DMC-FZ28 super-zoom Lumix camera whose software came bundled with basic Quiktime and which I up-dated to 7 Pro so I could capture still frames from the HD movies. What frustration. Following the.mov file capture sequence provided in the on-line manual, I attempted to save the frame(s)as a JPEG file but the program would always hangup when it came to the final step of choosing a compression type. It would then display an "encounterd error" message and close. No matter what I tried I have yet to be able to capture or display any movie frames using this program.
