Help with video formats, please!

I posted this topic once before, but got no replies. I don't mean to spam up the forums, but I would really like a response. I'm having a problem with putting videos on my iPod Nano. Currently, my videos are in MP4 format, but they're not loading onto the ipod. I can load MOV files, but the matter of converting my MP4 files to MOV files still remains a challenge. I've downloaded converters from the internet, but they're only trials and thus cut the video runtimes in half. If anyone could tell me why my MP4s aren't loading, or where I can find a free converter that won't cut the runtime of my videos, I would be ever so grateful. Thanks in advance!

No, multiplexed wouldn't be the issue. The iPod will still play them but multiplexed files that have been converted to the iPod often lose sound because of multiplexing, but will still play.

  • Help with video format

    I shot video on my IPhone5. While filming, battery notification showed me that it is 20% but I continued filming. When I finished I normally stopped the video. Now, I can see video on my IPhone without any problem but when I try to copy it to my computer (Windows XP) the copied file contains 0 KB. Also, the strange thing is that the size shown in that Video Properties is 1.81 GB for 8 minutes comparing to other my videos about 700 MB. Is there any possibility to cope with this problem please?

    Hello
    Usually, I attach IPhone to my comp by original wire, open IPhone folder to see the files, copy what I need and paste it to one of the folders in my comp. Very simple and always worked with pictures, videos. But not this time. I believe that 's all happenned because IPhone battary was about to die (it showed on the screen notification it s 20% during filming) so probably this notification interrupted data of video that's why all other movies I made the same day about 7 minutes each are normally about 700mb, but this one interrupted - 1.8GB for the same 7-8 minutes. It s still uploading to my comp and hopefully will work cos that video is important. Fingers cross.

  • Help with Audio Formats please

    Hello everybody,
    I have a problem with the Java AudioFormat class, can you help me please?
    The thing is Im working on a voice chat using the following audio format settings:
    AudioFormat(AudioFormat.Encoding.PCM_SIGNED, sampleRate, sampleSize, 1, 1, frameRate, false);
    Where:
    audioReadBytes = 1024;
    sampleRate = 8000.0F;
    frameRate = 8000.0F;
    sampleSize = 8;
    My problem is that these settings can cause incrementing voice delay and sometimes even block the application. It works fine on a LAN but on the internet it never works.
    I wanted to ask you if there�s a better audioformat setting that can decrease the size and quality of the sound, so it works on low bandwidths.
    I�m new to audio formats so I don�t understand them much and when I tried to change the settings by decreasing the sample rate I didn�t get what I expected.
    Please help me...
    Thanks a lot,
    Dan.

    Based on the concept of Unity in a gain chain, if you set the levels properly at the output of the analog mixer, then they should be fine coming into the software after the A/D conversion. As long as you don't clip the digital input, you can adjust levels internally on an audio timeline, so it is always better to err on the side of too little rather than too much.
    Digital maximum is -20 dB which is equivalent to 0 dB VU in the analog world. This provides sufficient headroom to avoid clipping in most circumstance.
    Try a few different levels and see what works best for your needs.

  • Help with video! Please!

    Hi. I have a 6 year old macbook pro, a 2012 macbook air, a brand new apple tv, and AT&T DSL internet.
    I want to stream video from my hard drive on either laptop to my apple tv hooked up to my brand new panasonic plasma tv.
    I first tried using airplay mirroring with my 2012 macbook, but the sceen had over a 1 minute lag. Then I tried home-sharing through itunes on my 6-year-old macbook pro. It just constantly buffers with that white spinning circle on my plasma.
    I'm thinking the problem might be that I need faster internet..... what do you think?

    If these videos are stored on your hard drive then the Internet  doesn't factor into the equation. This is streaming over your local network and that is where the issue lies.
    Typically this will be because of interference. You can check istumbler.net to verify. Mirroring requires more resources than basic airplay so interference and also things like other network activity can cause lag.

  • Help with Preview formatting please

    Since upgrading to OS X (10.7.3), all Word documents, when opened in Preview, appear as a single sheet without top and bottom margins. They also print like this, just running on and on without a break. This doesn't happen with PDFs and didn't happen prior to the upgrade.  Does anyone have any ideas how to correct this, pls?

    Hello ekrapple,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    Sounds like your Pages documents are not printing out correctly.
    I suggest these troubleshooting steps from this article:
    Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3147
    Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
    Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
    Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
    If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
    Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
    If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again.  Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
    Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • Help with access control please

    So I'm trying to set up my brother's PSP to the wirless network through MAC address timed access. What I want to do is make it so that he can only access it through certain times in the day. I'm having troubles with actually getting it to work. Everytime I set it up, the PSP only show's up as a DHCP client and not a Wireless client. I tried the option panel with the add wireless clients through the first try access. Could I get some help with this issue please? Thanks!

    Just to calm your fears... There is no conspiracy. If someone had an answer or a suggestion they would post it.

    I'm trying to play a video on a web page. I got the below

    enough height.

  • Help With Video Pop Up Window.

    Hi there Im very new to web design so please understand that I am a complete novice, so my understanding is limited. Any help would be most appreciated.
    Could anyone provide me with a piece of code I can put into the HTML snippet function that will allow me from a hyperlink that says "video" to open up this Vimeo video (see below) in a new window that is the exact dimensions of the given video.- Almost like a pop up.
    Many thanks to any help,
    - preferably I want the appearance of the video to be like the embedd code below regulates: to not include any additional text etc.
    <object width="255" height="143"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clipid=8695239&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=0&amp;show_byline=0&amp;showportrait=0&amp;color=0&amp;fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clipid=8695239&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=0&amp;show_byline=0&amp;showportrait=0&amp;color=0&amp;fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="255" height="143"></embed></object>
    also here is the link to the original page http://vimeo.com/8695239
    Thanks again, Robin.

    On this page you'll find code to open a page with video in a new window :

    Click where it says :
    Here's a basic sample page with shaded background you can use for testing.
    Click to open a window with the pop-up code.

  • Need help with video problems

    Hi!
    Back in May I was having problems with video on my Mac. I was helped by this site and am hoping for more help. I downloaded the realaudio, but was still having problems. I assumed because I was on dial up. It was so slow. It would take forever to load and then play for a few minutes then need to load some more. I now have DSL and was looking forward to kissing the video problems good-bye! My new problem is that when I try to watch or listen to anything like innertube it "stutters." Is there something else I should be doing? How can I fix this problem?

    With those specs you should be absolutely fine. I would suggest that you update to 10.4.10 at least (download the full Combo updater). Once you are on that:
    These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
    It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, QT 7.3 and OS 10.4.11. (If you are running Leopard, ensure that all plug-ins have been updated for OS 10.5)
    Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.9 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
    RealPlayer 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
    Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
    Perian from http://perian.org/
    Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
    (You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. This: http://www.macworld.co.uk/news/index.cfm?email&NewsID=19845 may also interest you.)
    In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
    See also the very informative post from QuickTimeKirk dated Dec 3, 2007 in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1268489&tstart=0
    In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
    Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them).
    Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz.
    Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
    The world should now be your oyster!
    You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

  • Help with video in Flex - Alternative to embedding .flv?

    I'm building a Flex application that needs to play a video, which I have in .flv format.  I tried the mx:VideoDisplay component, and it was great, but, unfortunately, I need to be able to package the entire application into a single file, and Flex doesn't support embedding .flv files.  Next I tried converting the .flv to a .swf, embedding that, then using mx:SWFLoader to display it.  This worked, except that I can no longer control the video playback; the video just keeps endlessly looping.  I need to be able to stop the video, and ideally I would like access to something like the complete event from mx:VideoDisplay, so that I can hide the video when it has reached the end.
    I have tried a couple of solutions based around the idea that the content of the .swf can be treated as a MovieClip, but none of these worked for me.  Any ideas?

    Serious? Man , i have only just got it back! its had a new logic board fitted and also a new led display board and its only 5 months old!
    I really don't want to take this back if its something simple, but if you guys think something is not right then i will.
    issues are intermit freezing when just surfing the net ( hard reset needed )
    And also now these intermit kernel panics for no reason, again just surfing the net. ( hard reset needed )
    Apple are lucky i have a sense of humour!

  • Help with built-in (please) set_group_number_cell

    I am working on a form. The original problem is when I hit a certain button within the form,
    it is supposed to keep the fields the same, but mark the record as new and
    assigin it a new id/row number. Kind of like copying the fields to a new record.
    Initially, when the button was pressed , it would put a zero in the front of the
    year (with the format mask being MM/DD/YYYY) it would change a date such as
    01/16/2000 to 01/16/0200.
    I do not know if it ever worked in the first place, or is not working because we just
    moved the forms from 4.5 to 6i - for a customer..
    I went through and tried to put the to_number functions and the to_date functions
    where they belonged(I think) but now the set_group_number cell function fails.
    Here is the code:
    FUNCTION copy_one_rec_to_recordgroup (
    block_name     varchar
    RETURN varchar
    IS
    rg_id          recordgroup;
    rg_name          varchar2 (50);
    the_item_name     varchar2 (100);
    the_data          varchar2(256);
    the_property varchar2(100);
    the_datatype varchar2(100);
    BEGIN
    p_output.out_debug ('p_block.copy_one_rec_to_recordgroup');
    -- Make sure a valid block was specified.
    validate_exists (block_name, 'p_block.copy_one_rec_to_recordgroup');
    -- Create the record group based on the block definition.
    rg_name := p_record_group.create_rg_from_block (block_name);
    rg_id := find_group     (rg_name);
    -- Populate     the first row of the record group 1 field at a time.
    add_group_row (rg_id, END_OF_GROUP);
    the_item_name := get_block_property     (block_name, first_item);
    -- If the item is a     data item and it's value is not     null,
    -- copy it to the record group

    end if;
    end if;
    end if;

    the_datatype := get_item_property(block_name || '.'|| the_item_name,datatype) ;
    the_data := name_in(block_name || '.' || the_item_name);
    -- If the     item is     a data item and     it's value is not null,
    -- copy it to the     record group.
    if the_property not in ('BUTTON') then
    if the_data is not null then

    Sorry for such a long post. If you can ... please help! Thanks!

    Here is a shorter and more efficient version of your code - apart from the removal of the debugging calls, note the following changes:
    1) Rather than doing everything twice - once for the first item then in a loop for all the rest, everything is now done in the loop
    2) The format mask used by the date manipulation is the actual one used by NAME_IN() - to make this work I'd recommend that you use
    SET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(BUILTIN_DATE_FORMAT,'DD-MON-YYYY'); in your startup code e.g. When-New-Form-Instance
    3) The item ID is used rather than the name to speed up access and calls to get_item_property() are only made once we know they are needed - e.g. there is not need to get the datatype and value if you already know that this is a button item.
    FUNCTION copy_one_rec_to_recordgroup ( block_name in varchar2 ) RETURN varchar2 IS
      rg_id recordgroup;
      rg_name varchar2 (30);
      the_item ITEM;  
      the_item_name varchar2(30);  
      the_data varchar2(256);
      the_formatmask varchar2(30) := GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(BUILTIN_DATE_FORMAT);
      the_property varchar2(20);
      the_datatype varchar2(10);
    BEGIN
      -- Create the record group based on the block definition.
      rg_name := p_record_group.create_rg_from_block (block_name);
      rg_id := find_group (rg_name);
      -- Populate the first row of the record group 1 field at a time.
      add_group_row (rg_id, END_OF_GROUP);
      the_item_name := get_block_property (block_name, first_item);
      LOOP
        the_item := find_item(block_name||'.'||the_item_name);
        if get_item_property (the_item, item_type) not in ('BUTTON') then
          the_data     := name_in(block_name||'.'||the_item_name);
          if the_data is not null then
         the_datatype := get_item_property(the_item,  datatype) ;
         if the_datatype in ('DATE') then
           set_group_date_cell(rg_name||'.'||the_item_name,1,to_date(the_data,the_formatmask));
         elsif the_datatype in ('NUMBER') then
           set_group_number_cell(rg_name||'.'|| the_item_name,1,to_number(the_data));
         else
           set_group_char_cell (rg_name || '.' || the_item_name, 1,the_data);
         end if;
          end if;
        end if;
        the_item_name := get_item_property(the_item, nextitem);
        EXIT when the_item_name is null;
      end loop;
