16:9 XViD AVI into AppleTV Campatible on WinXP?

I have an old version of ffmpeg.exe associated with 3GP Converter. I downloaded the latest version of ffmpeg.exe WinXP binary but can't seem to get the latest binary working right, but the settings for 3GP always compress my video to 4x3 so that everything looks too tall and thin. What is the best way to convert XViD content in letterbox format to a High-Quality format supported by iTunes and the AppleTV? Thanks.
My Powerbook is far too slow to do any conversion.
Powerbook G3 "Wallstreet" 512 MB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.7)

The message is An abnormal condition has occurred and Encore needs to shut down, you have once chance to save your project.
If I import the 4:3 time line no problem until I try to bring in the 16:9 timeline, and vise versa. And I just realized I am using an older version of encore on the PC. The MAC has CS3. The version is two prior. Hummm wonder if that was the issue.

Entering Data into AppleTV

It is unbelievably frustrating to enter Data ( Passwords, network settings) into AppleTv. Has anyone found a way around this? I cannot understand why data cannot be entered like any other client on a network...make it hardwired only...(that should solve security issues).
I have now spent about 5 hours trying to figure out what is going on and reentering data...very frustrating!!!
How do we leave feedback for Apple?

Yes...that is what I thought until I had to change some settings. With static IP addresses and WPA2 security ( I try to take Apple at it's word that they are security conscious) there should be a better way of inputting data like this...besides...if it is easier to change it encourages users to make security a concern and change things every now and again...is this not what the gurus of the net suggest in any case? I will not stop loving Apple...but every now and again they have just not thought things through.

Can't import an avi into FCE4 that QuickTime Player reads properly

New to FCE4 but coming from an Adobe Premier Windows NLE. I have generated an avi file on my Windows machine that i have copied over to my MBP. QTP has no problems playing the video/audio. When I try to import the file into FCE4 I can see the avi file name grayed out until I change the "standard files" selection to "any files". Then I can select the file but I get the following error message:
File Error: 1 file recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown.
I really would like to capture onto my Windows machine with my Canopus ADVC-300 and then transfer the avi to FCE4 via a harddrive for further processing. Dumping to tape and recapturing is a lot more work.
Any ideas?
Mark

I am a newbie to all this but from experience I have successfully converted numerous video formats to work with FCE.
You can try to export/convert your Windows AVI into a DV stream file using either QuickTime Pro, StreamClip or VisualHub.
It doesn't have to be a DV stream file, you can just experiment to see which files FCE likes.
(I think I also tried to convert using iMovie before; try using your AVI with iMovie also and convert it into a format that FCE likes)

Best XVID, AVI Quicktime Codec

Question
What is the best XVID codec for QT?
Background
I switched to Mac last year and have a lot of AVI files that do not properly play with quicktime. I remember it took a while to get these to work on my Windows box too as not all codec are made alike. I am having the same trobule on my MAC.
I do not want to install any other XVID/AVI player as I like QT and don't want to clutter my system.
I can play quite a few of these, but have to run to a windows box and use Dr Divx to rencode these files. I have Dr divx on the Mac, but because the codecs are not good, it will not rencode these problematic files.
Common issues
1) picture plays, no sound
2) picture and sound play for a bit, then no sound
3) no picture and no sound play
In each case, the windows box can play these files.

Hello, SD.
Try posting in the QuickTime for Mac forum. You'll be more likely to get help there than you will here in the QuickTime for Windows forum.
In the QT for Mac forum, I'd suggest you just search for "XVID" and "AVI". Both get covered quite frequently, so you'll probably find the answer there already.
Regards.

Problems importing avi into dreamweaver

I am trying to play an avi animation in Dreamweaver but the
animation will not play.
I have tried insert/media/
flash/shockwave/applet/Plugin/activex.
None of these methods work. There doesnt seem to be an action
button for inserting avi's.
Is ther any coding I can use to import my avi into a table in
my dreamweaver page or is there another way to import an avi into
Dreamweaver.
I have also tried dragging the file onto the screen from the
site menu but error appears "fail to open document"
I have tested the avi and it plays okay in a media player
Please help

You would embed it or link to it, but honestly, if you have
access to Flash
8, I would advise converting the avi to a Flash flv ..
wonderful quality at
a fraction of the file size.

Stream AVIs to appleTV?

Here's my current setup:
I download movies from Vuze, usually in AVI format. I use DivX Converter, which runs automatically. I believe it's a plug-in for quicktime...? Anyway, I want to be able to stream these AVI movies on AppleTV, keeping me from having to go to it with an HDMI/Audio cable that'll just simply be annoying. From what I can tell, AppleTV will only let you view files that are in the "Movies" section of iTunes -- is this true?
More than anything else...
Is there any way I can view torrent-download AVI movies, streaming, on AppleTV? If yes, how so?
Thanks!

Save them using Quicktime to .MOV. Then copy the .MOV file into iTunes. Once there, highlight the .MOV file you just imported and select Advanced > Create iPad or Apple TV version (or something to that effect). Works like a champ.
If you don't need to batch multiple files, you can also use Handbrake, but in that case, you can only do one video file at a time.

Importing AVIs into Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 !!!

Heres what Im trying to do: We have been working on a PC Leitch Velocity Q NLE system for the past couple years and just got 2 new Matrox Axio LE NLEs with Adobe Premiere Pro CS3. We are trying to get all our old projects from the Velocity system onto our Matrox systems and not sacrifice any of the video quality. I've been thinking that the best way to do this is by compressing old projects to AVI format from the Velocity system and move them over to the Matrox using an external hard drive.
I was actually able to bring in an AVI from the Velocity system onto the Matrox yesterday using the same Velocity settings below, except that I changed the aspect to 720 x 480 and the audio sample rate to 48,000. When playing the video on the timeline in Premiere the video looked great on my computer monitor but on my external NTSC monitor all motion in the video looked a little jerky as if frames are missing. I tried importing the test clip into both Matrox uncompressed 8-bit and uncompressed 10-bit projects and had the same resulting jerky looking video. Even after rendering the clip the video looked the same. Then I tried exporting the clip to mpeg using the Matrox media encoder but saw no change in the jerky movement. Here are my project and export setting for both systems.
The AVI was made on a PC Leitch Velocity Q NLE system. My project settings on the Velocity system are;
29.97 drop frame
720 x 486 24 Bit
Interlaced field order B
Sub pixel off Cropping off
Audio:
16 sample
44 / samples / second
2 channel
Export settings are; (These are the settings I was trying the first time that didnt work. All I changed the second time was the aspect ratio to 720 x 480 and the audio sampling rate to 48.)
AVI
Frame rate 29.97
720 x 486
No Compression
Color 24 Bits
Field handling interlaced field order B
Audio:
16 sample
Sampling rate 44
2 channels stereo
Do you recommend compressing the video coming out of Velocity?
There are a couple other options other than No Compression in the export dialogue such as: Microsoft H.263 video codec, Microsoft H.261 video codec. I definitely want to maintain the highest quality possible.
Matrox Axio LE project settings
Editing mode: Matrox NTSC
Timebase: 29.97 fps
Video
Frame Size: 720 x 486
Pixel Aspect Ratio: D1 / DV NTSC (0.9)
Fields: Lower field first
Display: Format 30fps Drop Frame Timecode
Audio: Sample 48,000 Hz
Display: Audio sample
Video Rendering: Maximum bit depth is Unchecked
Previews: File format Matrox uncompressed 8-bit NTSC (tried Matrox uncompressed 10-bit too.)
I think the jerky video might be due to dropping frames but Im not sure.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

While it seems that the field order is consistent, I have seen issues where converting from clips that change field order creates this sort of problem. This is particularly obvious when converting from MJPEG codecs like Meridien or Miro/Pinnacle to DV.
What happens if you just import the files into Premiere and let it do the rendering to the project settings?

Importing AVI into FCE has out of sync audio, but not in iMovie?

Hi all,
I'ave searched around and can't seen to find this issue in other parts of the forum, so thought I would try posting up. I'm using a GoPro camera which creates AVI files at 27fps, 512 x 384, Mono Audio, 8.0KHz, 32-bit Floating Point. I'm totally new to FCE, but when I drag these files into the project space and watch them on the viewer... it seems like the audio is almost 10 seconds ahead of the video right off the bat. It was the case with all 6 videos I had.
The crazy thing is when I drag these files into iMovie... the audio and video is sync'd up fine. Is there some setting in FCE that I'm missing that's causing this issue?
Any help would be greatly appreciated... I just went out and bought FCE because I figured if I'm going to start editing video more often... I should step up and of course I can't even get my raw clips to play correctly right off the bat
Thanks in advance for any help!
Jack

A DV-NTSC video file of 12GB should be a video about 55 minutes in length. If that's the approximate length of your avi video file, then you're probably good to go.
Have you brought the QT file into FCE? Did it behave properly?
FCE's learning curve IS pretty steep. You'd be wise to invest in some training material. Two excellent choices:

XVID Avi's not working once upgraded to Quicktime Pro

This may be related to the post earlier this week.
I just upgraded to Quicktime Pro, and now most of my .avi files, which playedback fine before, just give me the white screen with no audio.
When I check the file format, it says:
XVID, 624 x 352, Unknown MPEG Layer 3, Stereo, 48.000 kHz
My QT is the following: QuickTime™ Version 7.1.3, Player Version 7.0.1, which I believe is the most up to date version.
I looked at the solution for the pervious post about this, but if the files worked before, is this a simple codec issue, where I just need to re-aqcuire a codec?
Thanks any & all,
dh

Upgrading to Pro doesn't add or subtract any files from the installed version of QuickTime. It merely activates the Pro features.
Did you upgrade from version 6 to version 7? That would remove and add files.
Find and install the XVID codec appropriate for your machine.

How can i import vlc media file ( avi ) into itunes -?

it does not import through file add folder / file to library though an mpeg 4 movie, mpeg 4 vido file or a gets imported and even a vlc media file ( .mpg ) gets imported.
Is it so that an avi willl not get imported into itunes and i will have to convert it into another format ?

Use MPEG Streamclip to convert it to MPEG-4. This won't work for all AVIs.

Converting xvid avi files for premiere pro 5.5 properly?

I am using Premiere Pro 5.5 for the first time. I have footage from an older Flip camera with the following specs that I need to convert. I have MPEG Streamclip to convert the files.
What format should I convert them to? What settings in streamclip should I use? Should I keep them as AVI files or convert to mp4 or mpeg or something else? I don't have the fastest computer setup or a ton of storage space to work with, but would like to have the right format for my imports so that I don't have problems editing. Thanks for the help.
Source footage:
File type: .avi
Format: XVid (Perian), 640x480, Millions Microsoft ADPCM, Mono, 44.100 KHz
FPS: 30
Data Rate: 7,760.50 KBit/S
Size: 640x480 pixels (actual)
Working with:
-Premiere Pro CS5.5
-MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 duo, 4GB ram, OSX 10.6.8
-1 TB external hard drive to store footage and projects

premiere should be able to use the installed xvid codec software to read the files. some xvid files will report they are mp4 files, so sometimes it possible to play them back using quicktime or another mp4 video player without xvid installed at all. if they playback choppy in premiere and export improperly, then you may want to try uninstalling the xvid and see if they behave any better. can also see if installing an older or new version of xvid works any better. i use a windows computer, so while it should work the same, i dont know for certain...
xvid and mp4 are heavily compressed, which means it takes more computing power to play them back and edit. prores will make larger files, that aren't so compressed, therefore will be easier on a computer to read and edit with.

Issues with Importing 'AVIs' into CS3

I have CS3 and am trying to import AVIs, but am getting no audio or no video, however it seems to be a bit unpredictable. On one computer one file will play with both on the other I get either audio or video but not both.
Have done a lot of reading tonight and can see that I need to be using DV AVI Type II, problem is I have been trying to do that! I have been using Format Factory and have had no luck both with the AVIs and the MPEG files that I have converted. So obviously it is not converting into a usable format.
Can anyone suggest a program that will convert to DV AVI Type II. I have looked at the list on Videohelp but none of them specify that they convert to DV AVI Type II.
I understand that I may loose quality, but am editing videos to go in school seminars and so need to use clips that are relevant and interesting for the students. And given that I have just purchased CS3 I would like to work out how to make it work!!
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!!
Thanks!!

Jeff,
To my *knowledge* it only uses the installed system CODECs. Only tip to this was when I added Lagarith, HuffYuv and Black Magic CODECs to the system, they suddenly were available in DMC. Now, this does not prove that it only works with system CODECs (it might have some of its own), but these three were not available, until I installed them.
Over the years, it's proved to be a good program. Yes, it does choke on occasion, but usually very stable, simple and I've yet to have a converted file (unless there was gross OE) not work in the intended app.
So far, 99% of my work with it has been going to DV-AVI's. It has been virtually flawless, even with some odd CODECs in the original files.
I have only tried a handful of others, but have not seen any that I'd rather have to replace DMC.

Split a single avi into multiple avi files?

Hi there, totally new to PS Elements Premier 10.
I have some VHS video tapes that I converted to AVI format. I'd like to separate the videos into segments (ie; separate Christmas 1982 from Easter 1983) - and store them in multiple AVI files. I tried to do this in MS movie maker, but that was taking forever. I bought Premier Elements because I figured it should be easier; and it probably is, but I'm noob...
I have split the video into the scenes I want. I have added markers... but I am having trouble splitting the actual video into chunks of clips - ie; one big avi file would become 10 smaller avi files. I am trying to watch these on a boxee box, so I do want the to be separate files - I dont want to do a "web dvd" output.
I have tried this:
I dont see export functions.
I go to "SHARE" but it only lets me export to a single output.
How can I do this? It's for Christmas presents, so it's a little urgent - any help you can give me would be soooooo appreciated.
thanks!

Thanks everyone. I ended up figuring it out - whether or not I did it the best / easiest / fastest way is up for debate
I split the video into clips.
Separated the clips into different timelines.
"left aligned" all the clips in their respective timelines so they all start at 0:00 (just for simplification)
Disable all clips / timelines (right click, enable = false)
Enable the individual clip/timeline that I want to save
Set up the work area bar so that it starts at 0:00 and ends at the end of the specific clip I enabled. With the "snap top" functionality turned on, this is pretty easy.
Go to "SHARE" and configure my outputs
Make sure that "Share Work Area Bar Only" is checked on the "Share" tab before committing
It creates an avi of only the enabled clip, for the timeline I created.
Important:
Make sure you set the work area bar properly, or you'll have a 10 minute clip followed by 2 hours of blackness.... did that a few times ha.
Make sure you click the "Share Work Area Bar Only" on the share tab - or the same will happen.
Thanks for the replies everyone - let me know if there is a better way to acheive this in PE10.
Thanks!

Important wmv / files converted from wmv to avi into imovie - PROBLEM!

Hi there,
I feel like I'm going insane with this.
I had the same problem on '08 as I do on '09.
I make youtube videos and I am trying to open some clips that were edited on a PC by other youtube users (who have emailed them to me for a group project). They won't open in imovie. If I convert the file to .avi or .m4v or even .mp4 using Handbrake, they still won't import into imovie.
I don't know what to do and there aren't that many threads about this online.
The closest I've got is this information I found on one thread:
iMovie '08 will only allow you to to import files containing compression formats that can be edited. If your AVI file won't import, it likely means that the audio and/or video data is not editable. To import it, you will have to first convert it to any of the acceptable compression formats. For video this means DV, AIC, M-JPEG, Photo-JPEG, MPEG-4, or H.264.
Can anyone help me?
I've wasted such a lot of time on this.
I have Flip4Mac (free) and I can't export a wmv file on it unless I buy Quicktime Pro but I'm loathe to buy it on the offchance by converted file still won't open in imovie
I hope to hear from someone soon.
Many thanks,
Emily

Hi Em and welcome to the forums!
On this one issue I may be able to help:
I have Flip4Mac (free) and I can't export a wmv file on it unless I buy Quicktime Pro
Nope, QT Pro does not export to wmv, but the PAID FOR version of Flip4Mac does that conversion!
