TICKET ARCHIVE -> Problems Converting Video on Quicktime

bryceee - Dec 7, 2006 - 4:34 am

When i try to export a video on Quicktime Pro to another format, it sometimes doesnt work (depending on the format i change it to). It doesnt work for 3gp or mpeg-4 but it does work converting it to wma or iPod format. I need 3gp and mpeg-4 so i can send the videos to my mobile phone, and these are the only two formats it supports.

When i try to export it, all it does is say "Failed (-2126)".

Somebody help please??

Hi and welcome to macosx.com

The only entry in my database with such a QTP error is a conflict with Flip4mac.

See this link, and especially, the tip on the last entry.

But this is a 6 months old problem, and I guess it must been solved in the recent FP4Mac updates

If this does not apply to your problem, just post back, I will repool the question.

Well, I never use QTpro facilities; I use fffmpegX for
mostly all my movie formats conversions

I LOVE the tools which add a watermark or something equivalent on the project you create....

A long remember splash screen (as it GraphicCpnverter) is a a better solution

Juste browse VideoHelp mac OS Guides

to see if there is no freeware to achieve your goal

And especially iSquint for iPod...
