Export Mpeg4 to Ipod results in no video

When I use the export a Mpeg4 video to Ipod option in Quicktime Pro the resulting file has audio but no video.

I used the Mpeg4 to Ipod selection.
There is no "MPEG-4 to iPod" export option in QT Pro. There are, however, "Movie to iPod", "Movie to MPEG-4", and "Movie to QT Movie" export options in QT Pro. Since the first possibility has no user options which would normally interfere with your video playback, it is necessary to know the video format of the source file you are attempting to convert. In the case of the latter two options, it is possible to accidentially "turn off" video conversion and it is necessarry to know more about the specific workflow you used.
The Mpeg4 file plays fine in Quicktime 7 pro
I am still confused as to whether it is the source file or the target file that "plays fine in Quicktime 7 pro." The reason I am asking is to eliminate the possibility that you may have started with an MPEG-4 file and used the "None" encode option thinking this would "pass" the original video track to the target file to save conversion time. If that was your original intention, then the "Pass through" option should have been used instead. On the other hand, I can interpret your answer as meaning the the target file producerd in QT Pro plays fine in that player but does not play the video in other players, online/in browsers, or on the iPod in which case there may be some sort of software conflict invloved here.

Exporting "Youtube HD" Preset results in no video just black screen

Hello,
I am a new user to Premiere CS5. I made a short video and would like to put it online in HD for youtube and vimeo. I shot the footage using a Canon DSLR t2i in HD at 24fps.
I am trying to export it in order to upload it to youtube and I tried to the preset under H.264 that is called Youtube HD. When it finished I went to watch the video and it was just a black screen but the audio worked fine. The Export video box is checked so it is not that.
I exported using Quicktime Format but the quality was a little worse. I am now trying HDTV format to see how that turns out.
Is there something I can do to make the Youtube HD preset work correctly? I imagine that's the best option for uploading to youtube.
Thanks!

Thanks for replying =)

Exporting FCE as WMV results in clipped video

I am still trying to export from FCE to a usable file on PC. Tried exporting as a wave media file. I got a usable file, but the file has been clipped in exporting. What was a 10 minute clip is only the first 29 seconds of that movie. Any ideas why it is doing this?

What are you using to convert WMV? Have you installed the demo version of Flip4Mac? There is no WMV export from FCE without third party support. You have to be using something.

Exporting video for iPod - audio OK but video is "white"

I know this issue has been raised before but I cannot find a clear resolution anywhere - happy to be pointed to the right place.
Some time ago I converted some old VHS home movies to DVD and they play fine. To view them via AppleTV I've converted them to MP4 using H.264/AAC via MEGUI, and they work fine in iTunes on the PC and on AppleTV.
Once they were in iTunes I tried converting them for iPod but the output is a blank white video screen though the audio is fine.
To diagnose the problem I tried loading the MP4 version directly into Quicktime (Version 7.6.8)where the play fine. Then I tried exporting them for iPod and I get the same white screen plus audio.
I've seen this issue dismissed as due to some form of DRM but I doubt that is the case here. The video is my own, the DVDs I created are not CSS protected and the MP4s are also unprotected.
I've also seen it attributed to a missing codec, but that is unlikely given both iTunes and Quicktime play the videos without a hitch.
Any clues on how to proceed?
John

Last post before I leave things alone for a while.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and Quicktime and iTunes no longer chews up lots of CPU when trying to convert one particular Quicktime created file.
I've also recreated each file again from the same source, the AVI encoded as DV-PAL with screen res of 720x576. I created a series of test cases to try to pin the problem down and I think the best exposition is the following -
The problem
An MPEG4 file exported from Quicktime loads and plays in iTunes, plays on AppleTV and can be converted for iPod.
An almost identical MPEG4 file created by MEGUI using the x264 encoder, latest build 1649, and all the same settings as Quicktime loads and plays in iTunes, plays on AppleTV but when converted for iPod produces a file with audio but the video is "white". Looking at the file size, less than 2mb, it is pretty obvious that the video stream is simply not there.
Clues
Quicktime Movie Inspector reports the screen resolution of the file it exported as 720x540 while for the MEGUI created file it reports a very odd 787x576. Note that Windows Media Player and YAMB (MP4Box utility) both report this same file as 720x576 which is what I would expect as MEGUI did not resize the video. As an aside, WMP and YAMB also report the Quicktime created file as 720x540 so they agree with Quicktime on that score at least.
Obvious Question
Why does Quicktime report an incorrect screen resolution, and is this contributing to the conversion problem in iTunes?
My understanding is that MPEG4 uses 16x16 macroblocks and so the dimensions of anything to be encoded must be in multiples of 16 and 787 is not a multiple of 16.
Of course, the 787x576 screen resolution could be a red herring.
Details from Quicktime Movie Inspector follow:

H.264 export from AVCHD source results in slow-motion video; any ideas?

Hello, I'm trying to export a 1080i project with AVCHD footage using the H.264 Bluray profile. The resulting video looks good, but runs in slow motion. The starting footage is AVCHD 1440x1080 (1.333). When I export using the MPEG2 Bluray profile, everything runs fine. Thank you for any suggestions.

Thanks for your reply. My source footage consists of MTS files from an AVCHD camcorder. The files are 1080i anamorphic, so 1440x1080, with an aspect ration of 1.333 and a framerate of 29.97fps. I used one of the AVCHD sequence templates in Premiere CS5 that matched the video files.
I'm exorting using the H.264 Bluray preset for 1080i. I tried several of the profiles (1080p, etc), but they all end with the same bad result. The video plays, but seems to be playing at half speed. My 15-minute clip takes 30 minutes to play, even though the timline in VLC or WMP reports at 15 minutes. The audio sounds fine, but stops after 15 minutes (as it should). It's obviously out of sync, since the video is playing at half speed.
I have read a few other articles indicating it might be an issue with the way Premiere is interpreting the interlaced footage from the MTS files? This is beyond my area of knowledge.
When I encode using the MPEG-2 Bluray profile, it works fine. The video playback speed is normal.
My end goal is to edit my MTS files from the camcorder, encode using the H.264 profile, and place in an MKV container for playback on my XBMC-based HTPC. I'm also considering exporting as a high-bitrate MPEG-2, then using another encoder (HandBrake, etc.) to create the x264 MKV. Any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Settings that equal 'export movie to ipod (320 240)'

what settings can be used in the mpeg-4 export settings(h.264) and movie to Quicktime movie (h.264) that will duplicate those preset in the Movie to ipod (320x240).?
I believe the only way to make h.264 files for the ipod is be using the export movie to ipod settings.
am I right?
The movie to ipod export setting works for me, but when i use the movie to mpeg4 - h264 - to convert the file I can not load the movie on to the ipod.
(the apple spec say h264 baseline up to 1.3 768kbs etc)
But when those settings are used, i.e.
mpeg-4 export settings:
H.264/ 650 / download
custom / 320 180
29.97
automatic
restrict profile to baseline/ best quality.
will produce A file at 600kbs for me.
this file can not be transferred to ipod. (even though it matchs the ipod tech spec's)

The "specs" for video iPod formats:
H.264 video: up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats.
MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats.
You can also export video (supported formats only) directly from the iTunes app.
No need for QuickTime Pro.

IPod 80Gb-I convert video to ipod but doesnt have any sound

I just bought the 80Gb ipod and i am trying to sync from my pc to my ipod all of the videos i have. at the begining someone told me it was a version problem with quicktime or itunes, so i downloaded everything in the lates versions and tryied to convert all my videos to ipod. but the result is the same, i can see the images but not listen to the music. i also tryed this on my laptop which is a 12" mac witht the same video files and updated all my programs and nothing i can see but not listen.

... is this an episode of Sons of Anarchy? (Multiple reports that one episode on a season of that is not playing audio.)

Windows 7 x64 - Encode h.264 results in jerky video in WMP 12

Windows 7 x64 - Encode h.264 results in jerky video in Windows Media Player (WMP) 12
System: Windows 7 Ultimate x64 EN, Adobe Master Collection CS 4 Win En
Please download the sample file here:
http://www.tsxn.com/storage/transfer/Serenity.zip
Source:
H.264 HDTV Testvideos
Profile: 1280x720 fps 30, square pixel, progressive
Destination:
For Testing purpose, just converting the original within Adobe Media Encoder.
Profile: same as Source
1) The original source files play fine using any player, so the hardware of my test systems (3 computers) is ok
2) When exporting the Video to H.264 the resulting video is jerky in Windows Media Player and Quicktime
3) When converting the jerky result video again, but now into WMV, it plays fine
The problem can be reproduced on all 3 machines.
It seems to me that Windows Media Player and Quicktime enforce their own h.264 decoder which has problems playing Premiere Exports.
These Players seem to play the file properly:
- VLC Media Player
- Media Player Classic Home Cinema
- Adobe media player
So how can one be sure that the Premiere h.264 exports are just fine and the only problem is on decoder side? However, I feel very uncomfortable not being able to play the h.264 files within Windows Media Player 12, which has uses the built-ind Windows 7 h.264 decoder.
Any help is highly appreciated!
Thank you
Chris

Hello Harm,
let me add my comment of another discussion:
My concerns are about a)distribution and general b)compatibility.
a) When videos are distributed most of the users will probably try to open the files with Windows Media Player. So it is not a good start to have fresh exported h.264 videos which won't run fine with the 'main' player on windows
b) I am wondering if the Problems with Windows Media Player may also be a sign of a general compatibility issue of the h.264 video itself
At least in case b) Adobe would have to look into this.
And in general there maybe a bug in the MS h.264 decoder.
Thank you
Chris

Ipod set to manual, video options grayed out, no copying

First, I was experimenting, which is why I am having the following issue. My ipod 30gig Video was formatted on Windows XP when purchased. I decided I wanted the new update, but to do that I had to get rid of everything and use the iPod CD to convert the iPod to a Mac format. I used PodUtil and copied every song and video purchased from Mac and stored them on my computer hard drive. The format to mac was flawless, even re-importing all the songs and videos into my iTunes library. I copied all the songs back into my iPod, no problems. Problem now...none of the Clone Wars, Avatar or other videos will copy to my iPod. I can highlight all of them , drag them to the ipod and get the green plus sign, but no copying occurs. Under iPod>options>videos, everything is grayed out. I can't choose anything. Under iPod>options>Music, it is set to manage playlists and music manually. So, how can I get my legally purchased Mac videos into my iPod now? Videos I have edited in Final Cut Pro and exported in the iPod format copy over flawlessly. For a tedious solution, I could import all the videos bought from apple into final cut pro and re-export them as iPod formats and then import the newly converted versions back into my iPod, but there is no garauntee that will work. Any ideas ?

Hold down the ⌥ and ⌘ keys while connecting your iPod. Keep them down until iTunes has opened and your iPod shows in the Source list.

How to export HD to iPod format from FCP?

I have a 1080i timeline and am trying export using the iPod export..but instead of scaling it down to 320x180 (16:9) it scales it to 320x240 (4:3) filling the whole screen. Is there a setting or something I am missing?
Is anyone exporting from FCP in HDV and exporting to iPod? Love to hear some ideas or sites for more info about this. Thanks
Frank

Frank, when I began creating video podcasts Compressor wasn't able to create iPod-compatible H.264 videos (go figure?) so I looked elsewhere.
I came across ffmpegX and just love that program!
Now, I don't typically use it on HDV footage as my current podcast is all DVCAM, but I just gave it a shot with some HDV I shot a couple of months ago.
Worked like a charm. 2-pass VBR took 5 minutes for a 1 minute test clip. 320x180 16:9 apsect ratio. You can either export your timeline as a self-contained QT movie, or as a Ref. movie to save some space. Plus, ffmpregX can batch a bunch of files at once. I find that 500kbps for the video and 96kbps for the audio works pretty well and keeps the quality:file size ratio in good order. Play around with the settings and then create a preset.
Good luck!

Quick Time 7 Pro's export function for iPod format failed

The export function starts to format a video for the fixed iPod format. At 17% of the reformating job, the process stops?!
Does everyone knows a solution for that? Thanks in advance.

Exporting to the iPod settings takes a long time.
Try a test using a one minute "cut" from your file. Time the export and you'll have an idea how long the entire file will take to export.

How i can export songs from ipod ti itunes?

how i can export songs from ipod ti itunes?
please i need some informations

If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and was written long before iTunes 7 so it requires a little adaptation, also it won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

HT1386 I have an older iPod (5th gen, 30GB+video). My computer crashed and itunes was no loner accessible on it. On my new computer, how do I transfer the music from my iPod to the library in iTunes that is on my new computer?

I have an older iPod (5th gen, 30GB+video) that I had connected to my computer with iTunes. That computer crashed and the only place my music is stored is on my iPod. How do I move that music to the iTunes program (version 8) on my new computer. When I connect my iPod to my new computer the music shows up in my iPod's music directory but I can't move it to the library.

5th Generation iPod won't sync video, says "format not supported"

My 5th gen iPod has stopped syncing video that formerly was happily synced, including a TV show I bought in iTunes. Only one video, a movie I converted in Handbrake, still syncs.
Anybody got any ideas?

Maybe try to repair the iPod's HD using Disk Utility located in the Applications -> Utilities folder. If that doesn't help, try a low level reformat of the drive using the same application. Make sure you choose Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) as the file system format.

IPhone's iPod content (music and videos) no longer visible!

I just upgraded my iTunes to 7.6 and now, after syncing my iPhone, all of the iPod-type data (music, video, podcasts, etc.) is now not visible on the iPhone. The "capacity" bar at the bottom of the iTunes screen show that all of the data (5.76GB) is still there, but now it is all the orange color for "other." My photos are still yellow in the bar and viewable on my iPhone, but I get a "No Music" and "No Videos" screen on the iPhone when I try to view that content. Apparently it is still there, but somehow the "file type" has been changed. My only two recent changes are updating to iTunes 7.6 and upgrading the iPhone software to the current 1.1.3. I've tried restarting the iPhone with the home/powerswitch method and have rebooted the computer several times as well. I was going to try and downgrade iTunes by installing 7.5, but another user noted that 7.5 will not read the updated 7.6 playlist. ANY IDEAS?? (all of this is on 10.4.11, not Leopard.)

Hey Larry,
I went ahead and did a "restore" and everything was back to normal. It did take a while, though, as it wiped out then re-copied over 7Gigs of data to the phone. It was a hassle, but all is OK. I'm still concerned, though. I also spoke with a Genius at the Apple store who had never seen this, and thought it was a problem with the "file type" in iTunes, but i checked and movies were still "movie" filetype. He suggested MANUALLY checking/adjusting every file, but that is rediculous and there were hundreds of songs and videos!! Anywho, on my iPhone the date outside of the iPod items (music, videos, podcasts, etc.) was not effected, and all is back to normal after a lengthy "restore." Still looking for a "why" on this one...
