Using QuickTime Pro to create .MQV

[jaydisc]

Don't get too excited! I haven't figured it out yet, but feel I'm close.

If you have QuickTime Pro (at least v6), and open an .MQV file and go to the movie menu and select Get Movie Properties, there's all sorts of info. It includes information on the video and audio codecs. I've attempted to match these as close as possible and failed.

It seems the one difference I can't seem to mach is the 'Data Format: MPEG4 Video Elementary'. When I output using Export to QuickTime Movie, and set it to the MPEG4 codec, match the frame rate, bit rate and everything else, my movie reflects: 'Data Format: MPEG4 Video'. No 'Elementary'.

If I use Export to MPEG4, the options to match the parameters of existing MQV files aren't there, so I haven't even attempted that.

Anyone have any ideas on achieving this goal using something besides ImageConverter?

I had the exact same idea but I don't have the solution. I wish I knew if it were possible to export directly to an MPEG4 format the clie can use. You an export to MPEG1 (at least on the Mac with the Toast VCD plugin) that works with the Clie, but the file sizes are kind of large and they don't play as smoothly as Image Converter files (I think the frame rate is too high).
