I do have MPEG 4 codecs installed though cause we produce multimedia CD's, this might have something to do with it, I'll investigate __________________ "What isn't remembered, never happened.Memory is merely a record...you just need to rewrite that record" :blownpixel

I though the AniMatrix shorts would be great for showing off my NX - But Image Converter converts the.mov files without sound. The video does look good -- but worthless without sound. Any fixes out there ? TP

The problem lies within the movie trailer itself and not the Image Converter. Sometimes the trailers are in a specific format (kinda like encryption) that still allows you to view it perfectly with QuickTime, whereas when you try to convert it again, eg. to palm you loose the audio sound. Try converting the original movie trailer itself with Quicktime Pro 1st, to other types of format which is also supported by QuickTime, do check the "Audio" properties during your conversion. After a few time of playing around with the QuickTime exporting, you'll be able to figure out which sort of format will work with the Clie, then simply just use Image Converter and export to your Clie. Also I know that you can playback NX's recorded movie on QuickTime simply by changing their extension from .MQV to .MOV, in theory, if you change the original .MOV to .MQV and load to your NX should play just fine, unless it's in *.AVI format which most trailers are. Have fun, after a few time of playing around, you'll definitely figure it out. __________________ PalmTX + 512SD UX50(JP)+256MB MS Pro NX70/V (JP)+1G SanDisk CF

I was fooled by this exact same case during the 1st Original Matrix Trailer was released. Back then I was owner of Clie N710 and had to display it with gMovie. I was so upset that I couldn't show off the trailer becoz there was no audio. But the trick was with the QuickTime! __________________ PalmTX + 512SD UX50(JP)+256MB MS Pro NX70/V (JP)+1G SanDisk CF

Now, those who have been successful why not post your QT Pro setting to all and end this thread discussion. I myself have tried over 30 settings and have had no success getting a video playable from QT Pro 6. Any advice?

Make sure the audio is exported at 44.1 16bit stereo UNCOMPRESSED. WOrks every single time... Image Converter can do any mov, mpg or avi file as long as you have the correct codecs on your CPU. The problem is with files that have compressed sound, IC just doesnt like them! ash =o)

This is a hot topic for manny Mac users who do not have the luxury of the Image Converter to run, or a $600 full featured app like Adobe Premiere. Rumors state that this can be accomplished with QT Pro 6.

gyffes Father of The Boy Join Date: Mar 2003 Location: New England Posts: 1,849	I'm having trouble playing the mqvs that I've put on Fred (my NX60). When I just shoved 'em over (via Hotsync -- that took FOREVER), they were dropped into the MSAudio folder in Palm/Launcher/MSAudio and the movie player can't find them. I do not have anywhere on Fred the directory structure I've seen posted elsewhere (C:\MQ_ROOT\100MQV01), though I now have that on my PC (Win2k). SO... now that I have MSImport/Export working, how to I get the MQVs to the correct place within Fred so MoviePlayer will play them? And, is MP the best 'player available?

QT 6 Pro can convert anything you want to anything you want...provided you have the correct import and export codecs. If Sony would be kind enough to provide or at least tell us what codec and settings Movie Player uses, QT 6 Pro could be used. Doubt that will happen though. Just like I doubt Sony will be supporting AAC Audio anytime soon. The video codec is some sort of MPEG4 and QT 6 can play Movie Player movies, so the codec may be there already, but I have no idea what it is or what settings to use to go the other way.

I believe even when you use Adobe Premier, you still have to use Image Convertor to get the movie in the right format.

muldermx Registered User Join Date: Apr 2003 Posts: 458	hope there will be a new version of the player out by sony or another company that will act like a regular PC player enabling you to view different formats just as they are. The NX has a great processor like the PPC's so theres no reason why such a player will be made - saving us all that conversion ****... PPC's even play DIVX video. __________________ [ o o ] Gil Screenwriter 4 Hire
