.avi converted to MPEG4 but problem

Yes I was able to add a .mov ext to it but the video is not showing up. It was created on a PC using Tony Hawk helmet cam. I would like to use these clips to make low quality video of my bike rides etc.
As I said, I get audio but the Quicktime video pane is blank (white screen). Are there any tricks to converting it to any Quicktime format that would make the video appear? I can tell it has large amounts of data as it should (28mb) for a 4 minute video. When I initially uploaded it from the network, I proceeded to open it and Quicktime pro notified me that I needed a plugin and directed me to the plugins and update page you find in the Quicktime preferences pane when you click the update tab. Any help would be great!
Thanks in advance,

Since you are able to open it you can probably
find the file format and comporession (codec) by
using MovieInfo in the Window menu of the Quicktime
Player. Some folks report that this menu item does
not work for them with all codeds. If that is the
case you could open Movie Properties if you have QT
Pro, select the video track and then check Format in
the submenu.
I'm anxious to try this in Quicktime pro tonight when I get home. I hadn't even thought to check Movie info or Movie properties.
ALso, if it is an avi you could try the Divx codec
listed on the component page that Apple directed you
to.
When I was directed to the component page, the DiVX player was the logical choice for trying this. I downloaded it and gave it a shot with only the identical results, no picture, just sound.
If none of this works you could try ffmpegX to see if
it will read and/or convert to a suitable format.
Also, take a look this freeware: VLC, which may be able to read
and convert the file.
I searched here yesterday for information before I had even transfered it to my eMac and read somewhere about VLC and ffmpegx. I already have VLC on my iMac and gave it a shot with the same results. I don't believe I have the current version of VLC though, so I'll update it tonight and try it again. If perhaps this is the fix, will it now be possible to convert it for the purpose of exporting to iMovie and how, or will I still need to hunt the plugin or codec?
ffmpegx is a component of HandBrake is it not.
Incidentally, the software that came with the TH helmet cam is designed for the PC platform only and can convert the captured video footage to .avi or .wmv only. I'm wondering if there is a utility or application out there that makes these devices recognised when connected to a Macintosh.
Additionally, I forgot to mention that I tried conversion through MPEG Streamclip (?did I say that right?), also sound only. I've had success using this to convert MPEG4 and H264 to .mov files for import to iMovie and thought it might help.
Anyway, I really appreciate your consideration and view at my post. I look forward to letting you know I've found a solution because I see a lot of posts similar to mine (but pertaining to iPod transfer) with no resolution so to speak.
Thanks,
me

I finally rec'd QuickTime for the web and it's accompanying CD. I installed it in OS 9, restarted, and had the option of converting the .avi to multiple different formats including .mp4 and .mov. After registering it and activating it I converted the file to .mov then transferred it to my eMac and imported it to iMovie where I was able to adjust the sound track to be in sync with the video track.
Thank you so much for all your interest QTK and especially Dick. You guys pointed me in the right direction and really trouble shot this problem. It was not a cheap fix and I sorta wish this stuff just worked but I will read the book and derive as much as I can from it to utilise in QT and iMovie.
I forgot to mention that QT Pro 6 was a casualty of a crashed HD two summers ago. I had no record of the key. Apple recognized that I legitimately had a right to it but was unable to provide it because it had been phased out by the time I went to reinstall it. They provided at no charge a key for QT Pro 7 instead.
Thanks again,

Convert large AVI files to MPEG4 with PE11 to reduce size

I have a lot of large AVI files from captured VHS tapes. Computer hard disk is full. Should I convert large AVI files to MPEG4 using PE11 to reduce file size? In the future, can I import MPEG4 into PE11 for video projects? I don't want to delete the AVI file until I know I can work with MPEG4.

uberjaeger,
My next objective will be to learn PE11 so I can edit the video.

Convert DV/MPEG4 to WMV within Final Cut/Compressors/QTime??

Hi
I have a 45 second piece of corporate footage which originates on DV.
For internet streaming and for forwarding by email I 'reduced' this to MPEG4 and the quality looked great and it plays fine on most peoples systems.
However my problem is this: Some of the email recipients who are PC based are a bit old and unwieldy. They have only Windows Media Player on their system and are unwilling or unable to download Quicktime or Realplayer... Tsk, i know, don't ask!!. Anyhow how does one go about outputting the necessary file so that it becomes a WMV. Can I do this using the conversion tools on the Final Cut Bundle or should I be looking to other readily available tools to do this?
From the bit of searching I've done online one popular way of creating a true .wmv file is to use Quicktime Pro and software called wmv-9 available from Popwire. Does anyone have any experience of this before I shell out to buy it.
As a work-around for the time being I converted the MPEG4 file to an .mpg file using Toast's VCD creation facility. I found that the .mpg file generated will play in Windows Media Player and RealPlay but not in older versions of Quicktime.
So basically I have an MPEG4 file that plays in Quicktime and RealPlayer (..but not in any Windows MP) and a .mpg file that will play in Windows MP and RealPlayer but not all Quicktime Players.
Is there a file format I can convert it to (..or force it to) that is more universally accepted by all 3 main media players. I have used ffmpegX in the past for other conversions but this time around it does seem to be suitable.
If the bundled encoders can do the job what output settings, codecs etc should I use in Compressor, Quicktime Converter etc to achieve this?
Many thanks in advance for any help anyone is able to contribute.

An easy solution is be to use a Windows system with an analog video input card. Connect your Mac to your DV device, then connect the DV device's analog outputs to the Windows system. On the Windows system, download and install the free Windows Media Encoder from Microsoft. Use it to convert the feed from FCP's timeline to WMV format in real time.

I have imported a WMA-file in Audio-1 track of PE – still no sound to hear. But I can see the sound in the track. (Like in my video-clip) Therefore I also think it is a setting in PE. Will you be so kind to tell me where I have to look? Because I am no expert. Or is it possible that I have to activate anything in PE? It is first time that I will work with PE 9.
Further information: The original sound of the Mini-DVD is 5:1 surround. After first problem I have changed Nero to export in Stereo, but this did not solve the problem.

EZ Vinyl converter to I Tunes problem

Hello, I am converting my old LPs to MP3 using an ION turntable and EZ Vinyl converter software. The turntable combined with the software records the music fine, when I click to finish, the software automatically transfers to Itunes....so far so good. But when the Itunes program is opened a box comes up indicating that EZ Vinyl Converter is "UNABLE TO EXPORT TO I TUNES.PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU CLOSE ANY ACTIVE WINDOWS IN I TUNES"
What happens next is that certain tracks are exported to I tunes, but some are missing and most of the ones that are exported are duplicated. Any ideas anyone ?
Many thanks.

Thanks for your input ed2345. As I explained Audacity is complicated but you can record simply without having to wade through reams of instructions, the only thing is that LPs are recorded as one file or song, so when you transfer to ITunes it is treated as one song, so you cannot search for each individual track as you can if you load a CD to ITunes.
There is a ficility on Audacity to have a break between each song so you can then search each track individually, but then that means you have to learn the editing side of Audacity and here lies the problem for me. I have spent the last 4 nights in bed for at least 30 minutes each night reading the Audacity instructions and I am only 10% through them and to be honest I am no farther ahead.
On the EZ vinyl converter software that is so simple, there is a facility when recording the make a marker at the end of each track so then a new file or track is started.....the only thing is EZ Vinyl converter software has a problem at the moment !
Anyway, here I am with 100s of LPs and not able to listen to them yet.
Many thanks.

It helps to be more descriptive when you post and tell us exactly what you are doing.
That being said, I guess that you are going to file>save for web & devices. The checkerboard that you are seeing simply means that those areas are transparent.

Which AVI converter do I use For iMovie08?

I searched apple.com for an avi converter and it gave me these choices:
iSquint
SimpleMovieX
ivCD
Which do I use? when I try to import my avi now, they are all greyed out

no, not if you did not code java before.
There are IDEs like Eclipse arround but that are not good at beginning because they are quite complex and don't take away the coding.

Nothing but problems with PDF Adobe reader

Hi
I've had nothing but problems for the past few weeks I'm sure it's maybe a new software version? I can't convert PDFs to Word anymore I keep getting this error message. An error occurred while trying to access the service for all documents.
It's slow at loading and I'm looking for a new program!

Hi Mark,
Are you using Adobe Reader to access the Export pdf service to convert the file.
If so please update Reader to the latest v 11.0.10 and then check. Also make sure you are signed in with your Adobe ID in Reader.
Can you please also try signing in to the web url: https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf with your Adobe ID and check if you are able to convert the file or not.
Regards,
Rave

1. FLV won't import. 2. FLV to AVI-converter. 3. K-Lite Codec

I captured video streams from the web with a third party program, WM Recorder from Applian. A bit crappy, but it mostly works. The captured format is FLV. They play nicely in a media player, also from Applian.
I tried to import them in Prel. In the Add Media window, the "File Type"-bar at the bottom is set to "All Supported Files" by default, and my FLV files won't show. I can understand this, but if you set this bar to "All files" the same happens.
Huh?
I converted the FLVs to AVI's (using an Applian utility yet again), but Prel reported that in order to import a necessary file was missing.
As suggested in another post on this forum, I installed the K-Lite Codec Pack (with FLV Splitter etc.). Now indeed the AVI's do import in Prel (still can't see the FLV's), but the quality is very poor compared to the originals.
I apologize for all these questions, but:
1. Why does an Adobe program refuse to import video in the (Adobe) FLV-format in the first place?
2. Do you have any advice/suggestions for/experience with a FLV-to-AVI converter that does not downgrade the quality?
3. Now that I installed this K-Lite codec pack, I read various posts warning against codec packs in general, messing up your system etc. Should I be worried and uninstall?
Thanks for your help.

Also, don't forget that Premiere Elements, for all its powerful features, is still a relatively low end product. It's designed primarily to edit video from camcorders -- not every video format in the world.
In fact, it's actually pretty impressive that a program at this price actually EXPORTS Flash!

AVI Movies to MPEG4 Format

Hello,
I have a few .avi movies I would like to convert to watch on my iPod. MPEG Streamclip will not let choose .avi movies to convert and I keep getting "convertion failed" errors using ffmpegx. I need some help and suggestions. Thanks.

Thanks guys,
I figured it out. QuickTime Pro 7 can convert .avi movies to mpeg4 format. Open the .avi in QuickTime Pro, click on File then click Save as and "Save as a self-contained movie" then click save. QuickTime will convert the file to a .mov format. Open the .mov in QuickTime, click on File than click Export and select Movie to iPod (320x240) than click save. When export is done you will have an mpeg4 file. Open iTunes then drag that file to the Library source list. That's it.

Let us start from the beginning.
It has been established that you have Premiere Elements 10. On what computer operating system is it running?
There has not been a File Menu/Export/Movie export opportunitity in Premiere Elements since version 7. We are not up to version 12.
For Premiere Elements 10, your export opportunities are all in Share/ including one for Computer. Under Computer there are several choices. The ones that you see are Adobe Flash Video, MPEG, and AVCHD. The others you have to scroll down to. And those choices are AVI, Windows Media, QuickTime, Image, and Audio. You do not have to use the scroll bar for this. You can click on Adobe Flash Video panel to get it to turn black. Then use the down arrow to go down the list and the up arrow to go up the list. Once you get to a category, you can select a preset and go with it or customize it under the Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab of the preset.
If you post the properties of your source media that you want to try to match in the export, I would be glad to suggest the exact settings for you.
We will be watching for your follow up with details.
Thank you.

Add On...The Premiere Elements 10 File Menu is for more than Saving, just not exporting. One of the key features that can be access there is the Project Archiver. More on that another time.

How do I reverse the latest update to Firefox 4.0? I recently updated and have nothing but problems...nothing works! Click on links with no result, enter web address nothing happens. Please help me downgrade to previous version as this is rediculous!

Upgrade to Firefox 4.0 has caused nothing but problems. Unable to click links, access websites, etc. How can I downgrade to previous version?

Check that the Bookmarks Toolbar is visible and that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is still placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Linux, Windows)
* Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" or other items that are missing in the toolbar palette or on a toolbar then click the "Restore Default Set" button

Good day, I have installed Acrobat DC, and would like to combine 2 files. One is excel allready converted to PDF - No problem. The other one is from Pastel mailed as PDF.

Good day,
I have installed Acrobat DC, and would like to combine 2 files. One is excel allready converted to PDF - No problem. The other one is from Pastel mailed as PDF.
When trying to merge the files, this file ask for a Password. No password was issued from the setup or mail?

Good day abrieb93050306,
I can understand your concern, however can you please let me know that are you able to open both the PDF files ( the one you converted form excel to pdf & the other pdf that was mailed to you ) individually without using any password?
As it asks for the password, it means that the postal mailed PDF is password protected. You can ask for the password from the sender of the postal mail & then try to combine the files.
Please follow the steps in the provided KB doc.to combine the files : Combine files into single PDF | Adobe Acrobat DC tutorials
This will probably resolve your issue.
Let me know if you still experience any issue.
Regards,
Aadesh
