I want to buy Quicktime. I am India and list of contries does not have India on Apple's Quicktime page to select from. Even Apple Asia does not have India on country list.

I have written to Apple Support but no reply.

Can I just choose USA and buy?

Thanks,
Ashish

Might want to try Apple Singapore. Shouldn't be a problem and the exchange rate isn't bad, though any store should let you purchase.

Don't do it. It's a freackin' ripoff and full screen should be STANDARD. If you want info on how to enable fullscreen without paying, PM me.

Depends what it's for... if ashishn wants it for the editing features it's pretty cheap for what you get!

I agree that fullscreen should be standard, though. You listening, Apple?

If fullscreen is all you want then download the free version of RealPlayer 10. It can play all the movies QuickTime can (plus Real's proprietary codecs of course) and does fullscreen.

Yes, I am planning to do some editing though not professionally. I want to make VCDs and SVCDs from my handycam. I have seen VCDBuilder but how do I convert movies captured and edited in iMovie to MPEG?

So I guess I need quicktime pro.

Am i correct?

Like this:

1. Open your project in iMovie.

2. Choose "Share" from the File menu (why is this not called Export anymore?)

3. Click on QuickTime in the toolbar at the top of the window that appears.

4. In the "Compress for:" pop-up menu, choose "Expert Settings."

5. Click the "Share" button.

6. Choose "QuickTime to MPEG-4" from one of the pop-up menus in the Save dialog box.

7. Choose a place to save the movie.

8. There is no step 8.

no, he said VCDs. QuickTime Pro will not help you make VCDs. Toast 5 came with a plugin for QTPro AND iMovie to let you export mpegs, but Toast 6 doesn't and it erases the plugin, and since Toast 5 doesn't launch on current versions of OS X I don't know if the plugin will even work any more (though I bet it would).

to make VCDs I recommend Toast 6 (you have to encode them within Toast, but it's no big deal), but there are many other options of lesser reliability and cost, to be found on versiontracker (I just searched for "VCD" and found 7 with a high signal to noise ratio)

wI came across ffMpeg last night and it seems it can convert betwen various formats.

I need to explore more.

has anyone used ffMpeg?

Toast 5 works fine in Panther.
