QuickTime 7 crashes on pressing 'Export'?!

When I upgraded to Snow Leopard I thought that Quicktime X was supposed to be better. -.- ...NOT the case! I usually obtain .mkv movies with DTS or AC3 audio which I can't play since I don't have a receiver right now. So I have this system set up:

1. MKMerger- Remove Subtitles and alternate audio.
2. Quicktime 7- Export to .mp4 with passthrough video and convert audio
3. VisualHUB- Process it into .mp4 with passthrough video and audio
4. MetaX- Tag the movie with cover art and other metadata

But since I upgraded to Snow Leopard, Quicktime 7 has been shutting down as soon as I press Export? Which puts a huge dent in everything since that was the only way for me to go from 1080p .mkv w/DTS(AC3) to 1080p .mp4 with stereo.

Can anyone help me with this?
 
Hi,
I'm sorry I don't know.

But I think you should change the title of your post because "huge problem" is not so relevant. I think you'll get more answers if you the title is more specific.

Tex ;)
 
Use Handbrake to convert the video. Works every time for me. However, I had to download and compile the latest source, rather than using 0.9.3 which is the already-compiled version on the website.

Instructions to compile it yourself are here. It's really not that difficult.
 
I tried going through VisualHub alone but the results are horrible. The picture is all pixelated and the movie becomes unwatchable. By running it through Quicktime 7 first and converting the .mkv to .mp4 it works fine but then I can't tag it with MetaX. I found out if I use Quicktime 7 and then VisualHUB with just passthrough on video and audio so it only takes about 5 mins, it stays the same quality AND I can tag it in MetaX without any problems at all.
 
I don't need to convert the video, that would take hours and is pointless. I just need to convert the audio and then have it all packaged nicely in a .mp4 format WITH the original 1080p video.
 
I had some issues with QT7 on 10.6. The 10.6.1 update fixed them. Do you have 10.6.1?

As an aside, one of the annoyances I have with QT7 on Snow Leopard is that I can only do one export at a time. I could do multiple exports on Leopard, but this is a step backward on SL.
 
I do have SL 10.6.1 and its not working at all. Should I try a fresh install with selecting QT7 instead of installing it after?
 
All it says is...

-[NSProcessInfo enableSuddenTermination] has been invoked more times than necessary to balance invocations of -[NSProcessInfo disableSuddenTermination]. Ignoring.

I have no idea what thats means :confused:
