Can any1 suggest me a gud software that produces a Quicktime movie using H.264 & AAC codecs ? I was thinking of buying one but I am not able to figure out which one. I have TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress but it produces the output having too much luma. Its as if it is adding some luma factor from its in-built encoder without keeping in mind that Quicktime decoder will itself add some luma during playback. 2ndly, I don't want to create a Quicktime movie using the export profile which Quicktime Pro uses bcos the outputs produced are devoid of the brightness factor. I searched some info about Adobe Premier & Ulead Movie Studio but they produce H.264 AAC in MP4 format only (if I am corect).
Software to create Quicktime movie ?

of got it but how do I change the container from MP4 to MOV. I tried ffmpeg & it did work but the thing is that when I play the MOV file in Alternative & move the cursor to some random playback position, the video & audio lose sync. This is the command that I used:
ffmpeg -i Quicktime-muxed.mp4 -idct h264 -r 23.976 -vcodec copy -acodec copy Pirates_3.mov
2ndly u said that the H.264 decoder doesn't add any luma during playback. The why is it that when I change the extension of a .mov file to .hdmov, the video becomes a bit darker ?Comment

I appreciate ur suggestion Youthinksoo but let me highlight something about Procoder 2. It has 2 target profiles to make a quicktime movie:
1.) Quicktime File
2.) Quicktime export file
Option 1 doesn't supports AAC audio. Option 2 uses the Quicktime export profile in which both H.264 & AAC are supported but u can't do 2-pass encoding. Moreover, the output videos are dark as compared to videos that are obtained by Option 1 which are bright.
So do u have more suggestions ???Last edited by varunb; 5 May 2007, 03:19 PM.Comment

Helloooooo, guyz I am still stuck here ! Is there an ffmpeg expert here ? Pls I want to know the proper commandline to convert MP4 to MOV by doing stream copy. The MP4 video has been created using meGUI. Below is the MP4 file info:
Video: H.264, 2-pass, 9600 bitrate, 960 x 720 resolution
Audio: AAC-LC, CBR 224kbps
I tried the following commandline:
ffmpeg -i Quicktime-muxed.mp4 -idct h264 -r 23.976 -vcodec copy -acodec copy Pirates_3.mov
When I played the mov file in Quicktime 7, it played fine but in Quicktime Alternative, when I dragged the cursor to some random playback position, the video got out of sync. This thing didn't happen in Quicktime 7. Does any1 know the proper ffmpeg commandline ?Comment

I am certainly not an expert.But,have you tried SUPER ? OR Mediacoder ?
Here is the Mediacoder help forum:http://mediacoder.sourceforge.net/forum/sigpic

Is there a reason you want it Quicktime compatible? Only cripples which features can be used in the encoder, and thus compressibility, not to mention decoding performance.

Thanx Paglamon for your suggestions but I have already tried the softwares u have mentioned. 1stly, Mediacoder doesn't support Quicktime output. 2ndly, SUPER will be my last resort as it doesn't support 2-pass x264 encoding.
Anonymez, there is a reason that I want Quicktime output but its not necessary to mention it cos its not gonna solve my problem.
One would think it is a QT Alternative problem, and that the file is still compliant, so I don't understand what the problem is. Your FFmpeg parameters are fine.Comment
