Acceptable Video Formats

i created a movie in iMovie that i want to transfer to a DVD. when i try to import it as an asset into DVD Studio Pro, it won't recognize the format (.mov). i know that it will do .avi format, but that quality is awful.
any suggestions on how to get .mov quality movies from iMovie to a DVD?

  • Acceptable video formats for iPhone

    I am attempting to download music videos and movies to my iPhone. I've found in the past the mp4 files work for videos, but recently, mp4 files have not been working. I get a message saying that the file is not compatible with iPhone. Any suggestions???

    Just because a file is a mpeg4 video does not mean it is iPod/iphone compatible.
    It must meet certain specs regarding bit rate, resolution, etc.
    Apple spells these specs out in the tech specs found on Apple.com.
    Here they are:
    Video formats supported: H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
    H.264 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
    MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats

  • NI Vision: Accepted video format/codec/size

    Hi,
    I have basic LabView knowledge and I'm planning to process video files in NI Vision (object tracking). Recorded files are mov. Now I have some questions about video files in NI Vision:
    1. I have only seen older manuals (2010 and older), saying that NI Vision accept avi-files. I wonder if there's a version suitable for mov files now.
    2. What kind of files does NI Vision accept? (avi 1.0, avi 2.0,...)?
    3. Are there limitations concerning the codec? Is only one specific codec suitable for NI Vision? Or will my VI accept every codec that is installed on my computer?
    4. Is there a size limit for the files I read (and write)?
    System: Windows XP, File system: NTFS
    Thanks!
    Jon

    Hi Jon,
    have a look into this white paper, which gives you the answers to your questions and refers to the release of the LabVIEW Vision Development Module 2012 SP1:
    AVI Codec Support with AVI2 in NI Vision Products
    http://www.ni.com/white-paper/14466/en/
    I think the most interesting information for you is:
    "Through AVI2, on Windows any codec that is compatible with Microsoft's Video Compression Manager is available to the user. This means that the codecs recognized by Windows are recognized by NI Vision products as well."

  • CS3 for Mac Question- Acceptable Video Formats? Not recognizing .AVIs

    Hey guys, I am running a Mac Pro and my wife got me Premiere Pro for Mac, since I use it on PC. I am able to capture video fine, but Premiere Pro CS3 does not seem to recognize the majority of files I try to import.
    For example, I have a small handheld camcorder that exports .AVI files. Premiere does not accept them. Convert them to MP4 and Premiere does not accept them. Anyone have any recommendations for conversion software to make these files importable to Premiere Pro for Mac?
    Thanks,

    The camcorder is creating avi files in a codec that Premiere does not
    like. Its very likely that you would have the exact problem on the
    Windows version of Premiere.
    You can apparently still get Visual Hub
    http://mac.softpedia.com/progDownload/VisualHub-Download-20314.html
    I suggest you do it while you can because the software has been
    currently discontinued (there are some open source rebirth rumors)
    Visual Hub is a lovely little converter.

  • Make iTunes 6 accept non-native video formats

    I found this tip for adding about any video format that QuickTime Player can play to the iTunes library.
    While iTunes 6 might not be the best option as a video media player, you might still want it as a video cataloguing tool for all your movies as long as you can open them with QuickTime Player. You can add many types of files simply by dragging them to iTunes' icon or Library (MOV, MP4, DV, etc.). But if you want to add other file types, such as AVI movies (considering you have appropriate codecs installed), you'll have to resort to a trick and have QuickTime Pro with you (and no, it has nothing to do with reencoding). Read more...
    <small>To admins: Can we move this to the FAQ area?</small>

    it makes .mov files only readable by people who have QuickTime and the Divx Codec (quite nobody).
    I don't think you understood the tip, Romain. It is intended for those who already have the DivX (and other codecs) installed (it's not "quite nobody"; there are many people out there who wish to access media in formats other than those supported natively by QuickTime). Hence the name of the tip.
    This method is not meant for people who do not wish to take advantage of it.
    The .mov files created with the help of this tip are reference movies. In other words, they do not contain the media themselves. The method is much like adding songs to the library without copying the files. Naturally, the .xml library file that iTunes creates will also be readable only by people who have your songs in the exact same locations (quite nobody, indeed).
    I apologize if this tip was of no use to you. Just skip it then. ;)))

  • I recored a video with my ipad, downloaded it to my mac but I cant upload it to Youtube because the format IMG is not a video format. How can I convert it?

    How can I convert a video I took with my ipad on the format IMG to a supported format for Youtube?

    To upload videos to YouTube we have to make sure videos are in a format that YouTube accepts. Here’s the list of some well-known video formats which YouTube supports:
    WebM files (Vp8 video codec and Vorbis Audio codec)
    MPEG4, 3GPP and MOV files – (typically supporting h264 and mpeg4 video codecs and AAC audio codec)
    AVI (Many cameras output this format – typically the video codec is MJPEG and audio is PCM)
    MPEGPS (Typically supporting MPEG2 video codec and MP2 audio)
    WMV)
    FLV (Adobe – FLV1 video codec, MP3 audio)
    But I think you get the wrong video file. iPad recorded video files are in m4v, mp4, mov, avi format but not the img files. Anyway, if you need a video converter, Format factory or iFunia video converter are good choice.
    Good luck!

  • S.O.S. - Converting SWF or F4V to a video format!!!

    I have these tools at my disposal:
    iMac with commonly preloaded apps
    QT 7 Pro
    Captivate 5
    CS4 Web Premium
    Why can't I seem to come up with a solution to convert any rpoducts of .cp project file or a published .swf or .f4v to a video format (other than .swf or .f4v)???
    HELP!!!
    This is me calm.
    Thanks in advance for your input.

    Thanks for the quick reply but I omitted to mention that I am not trying to maintain interactivity in this particular video.
    I simply grabbed screen shots from an iPhone app and added mouse clicks and paths to the images for what I thought would've been an effortless, quick video.
    With this clarification I hope somone has a recommedation on converting either a(.swf) or (.f4v) or (.flv) into a format that is accepted by iMovie?
    Thanks again community,

  • What's the deal with the video format?

    Hello! What is the deal with the video format? Does it mean I have to code the videos for 640*480 ? It won't accept any other size? What size do I need to select for widescreen format?
    With Quicktime pro I've been able to encode videos with a very nice resolution and small size, then try to synch them to the ipod touch and then the error, it can't be played. I use the .mov format, I like it more but if I have to use .mp4 then I'll use it.
    Thanks for the help!

    According to Apple's Specification, these are your video choices
    H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats.
    H.264 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats.

  • Adobe PSE 11 will not accept video files (in slide show)

    Although my video files are in a format supposedly accepted by PSE 11, each time I attempt to insert a video file, I'm informed that the file was skipped because it is not one of the acceptable Windows video formats (which is incorrect as the files are in the organizer and listed as acceptable).
    How can this be corrected?
    Thank you

    Dale Mullen
    Video files are not supported by the Photoshop Elements 11 Editor or any other version of Photoshop Elements (photo editor), but are accepted for placement in the Elements Organizer. The Slideshow Editor is a feature of the Elements Organizer (Windows), and it does not accept video inclusion unless "Windows video formats".
    As an example, one of my cameras offers H.264.mov. But can be placed in the Elements Organizer, but are not accepted in the Elements Organizer/Create/Slideshow/Slideshow Editor. This is not something new to Photoshop Elements 11 or Elements Organizer 11.
    What is the destination for your Elements Organizer 11 Slideshow...Premiere Elements 11? If so, place these video files in the slideshow once it gets to Premiere Elements after you used the Slideshow Editor command Edit with Premiere Elements Editor. Once the slideshow is in Premiere Elements using that command, you can right click the slideshow on the Timeline, select Break Apart Elements Organizer Slideshow, and do more editing, including video import with Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets to the Timeline.
    Please do not hesitate to ask questions or ask for clarification, but what I just described is "it is what it is".
    Thanks.

  • Enquiries on whether fla can be linked to another fla, swf to flv or other video format and buttons to an animation

    I have 3 enquiries.
    1) How do I embed another fla within fla.
    For example, I am working on a fla, is it possible to create
    a link to another fla via a button?
    2) How do i convert a swf file into a flv file or any other
    video format like avi, mp4, etc?
    I am asking this because I realized when I try to import a
    swf into my fla file, I could only bundle it for mobile. Neither
    the progressive nor the streaming nor the embeding options could be
    checked.
    3) After adding tweening motion to an animation, is it
    possible to add buttons to play/pause? Do I have to write a script
    to enable the buttons to work?
    I tried adding buttons (Windows>components>video),
    however, the buttons were not functioning like the case when I
    imported a video. I think it's because adding tweening to an
    animation doesn't really dismiss it as a video file.
    I would greatly appreaciate if anyone could post a solution
    to my problems.
    Thanks.

    I am not so sure that this is a bug, and I have not been able to reproduce this behavior that you are describing. 
    But you can lock it from editing by right-clicking on the graph and go to Properties>>Appearance>>Enabled State --> Disabled
    Also, word of advice for the future: You will get more replies from the community with shorter posts and keeping it to one question per post. Summarize what the issue is, and put the detailed documentation and instructions to reproduce in the actual VI.

  • Encore CS3 - Blu-ray authoring - video formats?

    Does anyone know if we'll be able to use h.264 or VC-1 video formats for Blu-ray discs in Encore CS3?
    I already own some software that's MPEG2 only but would prefer more flexability (Roxio's DVDit Pro HD)
    Will you be able to do "pop-up" menus that you can have appear while the video is still playing?

    Blu Ray is not as easy as some folks think.
    Wait until you try to get these titles replicated.....you will find that only Sony can actually do the job.
    To quote from our replication company - who talked directly to Sony as they wanted to get into this:
    >the Sony guy was very open about Blu-ray production and replication - basically he says only Sony has the resources and time to devote to authoring and mastering the Blu-ray materials and the up fron costs (starting at £20,000 up front before any disc is made) mean that this is never going to be something for anyone other than the biggest media companies to get into. At least, not for the foreseeable future.
    And that is a direct quote.
    Additionally, they are also saying that Scenarist is the *only* tool they will accept content from. Still trying to find out about HD DVD replication - it is a LOT easier & cheaper to do.
    Another issue with Blu Ray is that BD-R, the recordable format, will simply not play on most set top players. only PS3 will play these.
    Finally, of course, Sony are also lying about the sales figures, as they have included PS3 consoles in the figure for Blu Ray players, which is sophistry. Most people buy PS3 for games, not Blu Ray playback. True BRD player figures are apparently well under 20,000 total.
    They are ALSO lying about Casino Royale "sales" of over 100,000
    Most of these were actually given away for free, not sold.......

  • IPhone 5 - Default Video Format MP4 & MOV

    When browsing through my iPhone 5 folders using my Windows PC, I noticed that my videos were "mp4" files. Yet, when I looked at another person's iPhone 5 folder, her videos were "mov" files. Out of curiosity, what is the difference? Should one choose one format over the other? And how does one change the default video format on an iPhone 5 with iOS 7.0.2?

    gripmash,
    I am sorry, but it is not possible to change the video format that the ELPH 300 HS records.

  • IPhone 4S video format - can I change it now?

    Hi Community ,
    I shot some really funny vision of my dog on my iPhone 4S. I dragged it into the timeline of a video editing program which informed me that it's NTSC (30fps) format, not PAL. I really need it at 25fps. Is there a way to convert it to 25fps or am I stuck with it now at the wrong format?
    I'd like to submit the vision to funniest home video (Australia) but they won't accept NTSC format.
    Thanks so much for your help,
    Debbie

         Hi Debbie, I read up a bit on these video formats and from what I gather there are no freeware converters that are reliable. Mac OS X doesn't seem to have a native utility that could address this either. You may even have to look for some shareware softwares unfortunately. Please exercise caution whenever you download software of this nature from a 3rd party.

  • Video format on iPhone, wont sync my converted videos..

    Hi ,
    Could someone please tell me what format/screen ratio/fps etc is accepted on the iphone? I recently aquired a software "Magic Video Converter", I am using the default "ipod" setting which is in the software. Moved everything to itunes and followed the normal method of synching, however I get the message " this video type cannot be played on this iphone".
    I am just trying to figure out where I went wrong and what setting I should change.
    As it stands, it is converting it using H264 codec, audio is aac, dimension is 368x208 and aspect ratio is set to auto. Frame rate is also set to auto.
    The output is in mp4 format.
    any advice would be appreciated. & what screen size is best for iphone?
    thanks.

    Does this software also include a default iPhone selection?
