Convert a file to QTM
To convert other file formats to the "Motion Capture Data File" file type, you need software like Qualisys Track Manager or a similar tool.
About QTM files
The .QTM file extension is primarily a proprietary Qualisys Track Manager motion capture data file. These files store highly precise 3D kinematic data, force plate measurements, and analog sensor readings gathered during biomechanical analysis. A much smaller percentage of .QTM files are used for legacy Q-Time attendance data or as an obscure container for Apple QuickTime movie files.
The primary disadvantage of the .QTM format is that it is strictly proprietary and tied to expensive hardware and software ecosystems. Files are often massive and require a paid license of Qualisys Track Manager to fully visualize the 3D data. You cannot open these files natively in web browsers, standard data editors, or generic video players.
Professionals usually need to convert .QTM files to universal formats to share data. The best targets are C3D (Coordinate 3D) for cross-platform biomechanics software, TSV (Tab-Separated Values) for spreadsheet analysis in Excel, or MAT for MATLAB processing. If your file is a QuickTime video, converting it to MP4 provides the best universal playback.
Because .QTM is a closed format based on the Microsoft Compound structure, standard online converters fail to process it. Just drag and drop your file into convert.guru to identify the format, view the internal structure, and convert it when possible. Our analysis engine can detect the embedded OLE streams or media headers to help you extract text or find a viable conversion path.
Use Convert.Guru to open and convert your QTM file.
If you want to convert QTM file to MP4, AVI, MOV, WMV, FLV, WEBM, MKV, M4V, 3GP, OGV, ASF or RM, you can use Qualisys Track Manager or similar software from the "Motion Capture Measurement Data" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MTS, MOV, RMVB, DIVX, RM, H264, TS, WMV, VOB, MP4, XVID or AVI files to QTM, try Qualisys Track Manager or another comparable tool in the "Motion Capture Measurement Data" category.
The QTM Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our QTM converter.
