Converting video files for AppleTV and Ipod

So I have an Appletv AND and 80 GB Ipod classic.
I have some home videos that I would love to be able to play on both my apple tv and Ipod. I currently use ISync, but I have to create a separate file for the AppleTV and the IPOD as using the ipod file on an Appletv is grainy and low quality. Any ideas how I can convert my video file to a file that can be viewed on both my AppleTV and my Ipod?

Totally agree with Jolly Giant. Get Handbrake and use the Universal setting under the Apple presets in Handbrake. I feel it will get the best quality to have one file that works on both.

  • Converting video files for zen

    }Hello,
    I recently sold my old desktop and purchased a laptop. I need to obtain software that will convert my video files to suitable files for my creative zen. I will be putting them on the external memory card thats in my zen, so what program can I use to convert the video files on my laptop first before putting onto the memory card?
    Thanks!

    "Re: Converting video files for zen?Use the Creative Video Converter. ?You can download it from the Creative Support website. ?If you have the Creative Zen (i.e., the credit card sized one that was released after the Zen Vision series and before the Zen MX), then use this link:

  • Convert .fla files for Safari and Chrome

    hi boys,
    i need to convert .fla file for Safari and Chrome.
    i pay for that, after new file is tested, and is ok.
    the fee is 40$/file

    I'm afraid you have quite a few html errors on the page I tested  (about us page) that really need to be fixed - and some of them are likely the cause of the browser rendering the pages differently.
    http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newpathstherapy.com%2Fabout.h tml
    For example, you can only use an ID once per page.
    Also a few CSS errors: - in particular the first one - where you have the missing # hash tag before the color declaration.  The others relate to the styleing of the scrollbar - which isn't worth the effort really because is a PC IE only thing anyway:
    http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css21&warning=0&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww. newpathstherapy.com%2Fabout.html
    I think you have 'overwritten the code for the menu.. particularly the way you have used the IDS - which is causing an issue anyway.  The menu can be made more simply and minimally styled with css - see this list of styling list menus:
    HORIZONTAL / VERTICAL MENUS:

    You need to fix those errors and then see how the page stands.  If you have further problems after the 'fix', then post back.

  • Converting Video Files For Windows Premiere Elements Editing

    A client has given me a couple of dozen videotapes, about half MiniDV and the other half VHS-C. He's also given me a 1TB external hard drive.
    He would like the drive returned with a single unedited video file for each tape loaded onto it. He will then edit these tapes in Adobe Premiere Elements on a Windows PC, and ultimately burn DVDs.
    I have the necessary equipment to capture the contents of all of these tapes into FCP, but I have two questions.
    First, what should I convert these files to? I'm thinking QuickTime movies, or DV, since Premiere Elements can work with either of those, and storage space shouldn't be a problem; all the footage is SD, of course.
    Second, I haven't connected the drive he's given me yet; if I need to format this drive for my MacPro to use, will my customer then have problems accessing the video files? Or, is there a proper way for me to format this drive so that the files will be readable when he gets it back?
    Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

    It's never a good idea to capture on a different NLE than the one which will be used for editing. It can cause all sorts of compatibility problems. There are even issues going between FCP and iMovie -both Mac applications.
    I'm thinking QuickTime movies, or DV, since Premiere Elements can work with either of those,
    Are you *absolutely sure* about that, given that a PC based NLE typically works with avi files?
    As to your disc formatting questions, you can download the [NTFS-3G driver|http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com> which will let you read, write and even reformat the drive as NTFS on the Mac. All reasonably modern PCs work with this disc format and you won't run into the file size limitations associated with FAT formatted drives.

  • Converting video files for the N97

    Can anyone recommend a good piece of software for converting video files into mp4 for the N97?
    I have tried Nero, and various other freeware and shareware packages, and I am able to produce a file which will play on my PC, but nothing which will play on the N97. In some cases the phone cannot see the file at all, other times it's there through file manager, but only plays the audio, no video.
    This is getting frustrating!
    Thanks
    Andrew

    Give Format Factory a try http://www.pcfreetime.com/ converts virtually all video types including DVD.
    has profiles for most mobile phones including the Nokia 5800 (works with the N97)
    also converts most audio types and images
    Best of all, it's Free

  • How do I manging multiple copies of movies for AppleTV and iPod in iTunes?

    I do not have an AppleTV yet, but I am considering getting one. I was wondering how those who have both an iPod and ATV manage the syncing of Movies that may have different resolutions?
    If I want to have the same movie on ATV and my iPod I would need two copies in iTunes at different resolutions, correct? At least when I look at the iTunes export in iMovie it shows I can have a higher resolution for the ATV than the iPod.
    So, how do you manage the auto syncing of these multiple copies so that they aren't all copied to both devices? iTunes doesn't have good Movie management as far as sub-folders, etc. I would like iTunes to treat these copies as one movie and only sync the appropriate resolution for the device.
    I also notice that multiple copies then show up in FrontRow as well. It would be nice if only the highest resolution would show up.
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Just create 2 different playlists like
    Movie-ATV
    Movie-iPod
    Put those video files with higher resolution on playlist Movie-ATV
    Put those video files with lower resolution on playlist Movie-iPod
    in iTunes Preferences choose your ATV only to sync the 1st movie playlist - and your iPod only to sync the 2nd one.

  • Compress video files for email from iPod

    I manage an ipod Lab for an intensive English school. We want students to be able to email themselves larger audio and video files from directly from the iPod without having to go through iTunes/iPhoto. We often run into the problem with files being too large to email and are wondering if there is some sort of compression app that we can install on the iPod that will let us compress large files down for email. Something like ESFileExplorer for Android.
    Thanks,
    jHart

    Video and audio files are almost impossible to compress with a separate general-purpose compressor application. Such compressors just don't work with the way video and audio files are structured and usually make a video or audio file larger, not smaller; they can't shrink the file size and just add unnecessary overhead. The only effective way to shrink a video or audio file is to re-encode the file with a lower bit rate, smaller frame size (for videos) or both. I don't know if there's any app on the iPod that can do such re-encoding, and even if there is, unless these videos and audio files are quite short, it's probable that they can't be shrunk enough to get through most email systems which usually have very low attachment sizes allowed, often on the order of 10 to 20 megabytes maximum.
    A cloud-based storage solution such as Dropbox may be the only practical solution, though I'm not sure what video and audio apps would support saving to such as service. Someone else here may be able to offer suggestions.
    Regards.

  • Converting video files for iMovie

    is there a way to convert .wmv files (Windows Media Player) to a format that can be imported into iMovie?

    sure, purchase a licence from www.flip4mac.com for their plug-in, which teaches any Quicktime based software wmv handling ..
    Plan B) purchase VisualHub (half the price of flip4mac) and use it as external, standalone converter..

  • Need help in converting video files for Zen Micr

    I bought my Zen Micro M to the HQ for servicing and I learnt that there's actually a video converter when we install the creative media source into our PC. Now my problem is that I did not see any converter except the audio converter. What should I do? Or do I have to download a converter from the net? If so, can someone be kind enough to tell me where should I download the converter from? I'm a complete IT idiot -_-
    Thanks in advance!

    Hey I've solved the problem myself.. Perhaps you can try to reinstall the software again.. That's what I did and I saw a Media Toolbox with video converter inside. Hope that helps!!

  • Converting SWF file for publication and secure distribution.

    I'm looking for advise on how to securely publish .swf files created in inDesign CS6 How to build a launcher and how to convert into iPad and Android apps.

    You can't do any of that with just ID. You need access to the Digital Publishing Suite and generate the relevant ePub formats and platform-specific packages.

  • Do PSP converted videos work for the ipod?

    I heard that videos already converted for the PSP also work for the ipod. Is this true? Please i really need you to answer this jsut a simple yes or no if you can. Thxs.....

    Um for the most part. The correct file format for the iPod is MP4. The PSP also uses this, but I think it can use some other formats too. There are a few programs out there that you can use to convert video files for both the PSP and iPod. If you are using a Mac I suggest ffmpegx. If you are using a PC, the go with the PSPvideo9. If you download these and either one of them is confusing to you, repost back here and I'll see if I can unconfuse you. Good luck!

  • Exporting HD video for use on AppleTV and iPod

    I use a Canon HV30 HD camcorder. Work in FCE. Also have QTPro. I typically export from FCE as a pure .MOV file, then do my conversions to other formats in QTPro.
    To get good quality on my Apple TV, I use QTPro to export to Apple TV. But then that video won't transfer to my iPod Touch, so I have to do another export with QTPro with iPod as my target.
    Is there a happy medium that will show good results on the AppleTV and iPod? Obviously this can be done with standard def video because iTunes videos look fine on both. I think the HD is what's getting me.
    Thanks.

    I would also like to have this question answered...
    Additionally,
    Is there a way to combine the SD and HD files similar to when you download a movie from itunes how there is one file entry in iTunes for both the SD and HD version. Also I noticed movies and TV you download from iTunes can transfer to your Ipod (even though they are over the ipod specs 320x240). Is there a way to export videos larger than 320x240 and can transfer to the Ipod.
    Thank you in advance...

  • Used to convert all my videos into iPhone mp4 format using Any Video Converter - then add it to my iPhone 3GS. But last few days, I cant add video files to iTunes. and the iTunes doesnt even specify the reason except for that "files are not supported"

    Everyting was perfect earlier. Used to convert all my videos into iPhone mp4 format using Any Video Converter - then add it to my iPhone 3GS. But last few days, I cant add video files to iTunes. and the iTunes doesnt even specify the reason except for that "files are not supported"
    Everything is fine.
    -They are the right format
    -Quicktime is updated
    -I have tried simply dragging them into the 'movie' library
    -I have tried going to file<add file to library
    Nothing works, has anyone else had this problem and found a way around it?
    Any and all help appreciated.

    In addition to Mike's suggestions,  you only have 4GB of RAM and Mavericks does use more RAM than other versions. You may also want to look at the apps that startup on login and the possiblity of upgrading RAM.

  • Converter pictures and videos files to jpg and mpeg

    Do you know a safety software o freeware to convert pictures and videos files to jpg and mpeg? to use in my desktop with windows?

    A backup stores the data in the location shown in the following link: Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes
    Note, however that backup files are stored in a format that is meant for use only in restoring to an iOS device. They are not a way for you to view the photos on the computer.
    If you want to save the photos to the computer and be able to view them there, the following has instructions: Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC
    You can also use PhotoStream My Photo Stream FAQ or 3rd party apps such as http://www.photosync-app.com

  • Converting video files to mp4 for nano 3rd gen

    I'm trying to find a quick, easy, hassle free way of converting video files such as mpg and avi to mp4 so that i can watch them on my new ipod nano.
    Anyone got any suggestions and ideas?

    Ricktoronto and others,
    Thanks for all the advice! I do have MPEG Streamclip and I'd thought about it, but have not really used it all that much. I didn't spend a whole lot of time looking at it but just did now and see that you convert to Quicktime and in there, you select Apple MPEG-4 and do all your adjustments. Now my version says that it will convert to H264. Does that function not work right?
    The bottom line though is I ended up returning the Video iPod. The biggest drawback is the fact that it does not have Firewire as all I have are Macs with USB 1.1. I could upgrade my Blue & White G3 and put a USB 2.0 card in it but that machine would be REAL slow to convert video. And my iMac of course, can't be upgraded. If I had USB 2.0 or the iPod had Firewire, I would have kept it....
    Still, I'll mess with the conversion programs and see what works best. I'll figure out how to do everything and then once I'm up to speed, maybe consider getting one.
