Best way to store video's in itunes

Hi All,
Just wanted to get some thoughts on what you feel is the best way to store music videos in itunes.
Would you either:
1. Have music videos that come with CD’s tagged and retained in the same album with the music.
Eg
Track 1 of 3 – Audio
Track 2 of 3 – Audio
Track 3 of 3 – Music Video
or
2. Have music videos stored under their own “album”. That is, Track 3 above not linked to the audio tracks on the same CD, so that you effectively create an “album” with all your music videos.
I know either way will do, but wanted to know what way was working well for the masses!
Thanks

ok, maybe im not saying it right. I just want to store my movies in itunes, I know how to import them there i was just wondering if i can create folders for all those video clips in itunes? Im tired of storing them all in imovie and creating new events each time i upload videos?

  • What is the best way to store videos using Macbook Air?

    I have a Macbook Air and I don't want to store videos on the hardrive because it will fill up fast.  I have a lot of videos - for people that also take a lot of videos - what is the best way in your opinion or best place to store video? For example, on a server, on a cloud server, etc?

    Ok, so do you have a recommend brand and space capacity?
    You mentioned that one of your primary needs is to store video, which demands large capacity. As a consequence I'd suggest a drive with at least 1Tb, perhaps greater, capacity. I don't have a preferred brand or manufacturer - it's a bit like recommending which is better between Ford and Chevy - but I have a couple of Western Digital external USB drives which have proven very reliable, and a Seagate which is used as a daily backup and has worked flawlessly.
    DWB's point about backups is important too, because when you store files on any drive there is a risk of that drive failing - and indeed, all drives will fail at some point. The question is, can you live with the total loss of those files if the drive does fail? If you are storing files that you value, then a backup is needed to help protect those files. Ideally that would mean two drives, not one. One to use for the storing the files, and the second to use to back those files up.

  • Best way to store movies from iTunes

    I have several movies I purchased from iTunes on my computer. Now I want to free up some space on my hard drive. What is the best way to store them off my computer so I can access them again in the future?

    I believe you can do Back up to Disc and burn them as Data Discs. (Be sure to check your burning preferences first.) You won't be able to view them from the burned discs, but you can use them to restore to your library. Burning the movie itself....I doubt you can get it to fit on one CD. Another option would be to invest in an external drive. I hear they're pretty affordable.

  • Best way to store tv shows when in Ireland

    Hi all,
    I just bought an iMac and a WD My Book Live. The first cause my old laptop when to the great binary cloud in the sky, the second cause I want to be able to consolidate my media. Over the years I have ripped by CDs and DVDs so when the time came I could stream all my media through out my house and devices.
    Because I will be using the Mac primarily for the forseeable future, I have  moved my music and movies into their respective iTunes folders. I have started to move my TV shows. But when you add the folder in iTunes I am still only getting the lovely iStore Advert telling me to start looking.
    Is it because my store is the Irish iTunes Store?
    So does anyone have some advice as the best way to store my TV Shows and get them to show in iTunes.
    Cheers,
    Adanmh

    Thanks for your help.
    emeraldthree - I have tried adding the folders by two ways to no avail:
    Dragging the folders from Finder to my Library
    By clicking File > Add to Library
    Nothing Happens either way.
    Chris CA -  By the "lovely advert" I mean the screen shown when I have added my TV show files and I click on the TV Shows  Link in my iTunes Library I get
    The videos also don't show in my Movies area either. But are there in my TV Shows Folder on the Media Drive.
    Is this the best way to store my TV Shows to get them to show in iTune?
    Thanks

  • Best way to manage video

    hi, i just got a video iPod (30GB) for my birthday and i want to know the best way to put video's on my iPod. i have many of my video's in a quicktime format on my external hard drive therefore i do not want them in iTunes, but i do what them on my iPod?
    thanks

    Hi Macmanman,
    (i have many of my video's in a quicktime format )
    That doesn't guarantee that they will play on your ipod - they should be in mp4 format for an ipod to recognise them. If they are not you can open them in Quicktime and export them to that format or there are various third party applications that will convert to iPod friendly formats - 'Viddyup' 'VisualHub' and 'iSquint' which is free - you can get it here:
    http://www.isquint.org/
    (i do not want them in iTunes, but i do what them on my iPod?)
    They have to be in iTunes in order for your iPod to sync with them - this doesn't mean that you have to move them from your external drive, however.
    if you open iTunes and choose preferences from the menu, under Advanced deselect 'copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library' This will add the movies to iTunes but leave the files on your ex drive. Remember to change the preference back when your done.

  • What's the best way to store old FCP projects & media?

    Hey
    I've started to accumulate more and more video content of client projects, but I don't want to delete it in case they come back a year later looking for an update on the video product I made them.
    So, what's he best way to store FCP projects and video files?
    I thought maybe a BluRay burner might do the trick.
    Any suggestions?
    Sam

    Since you're using RAW files you might peruse the DAM Forum to learn about possible other DAM (digital asset management) software and workflows. There is a wealth of information at that site.
    I useMedia Expression for my primary DAM application and iPhoto for special projects like books, calendars, etc.

  • Hi, can anyone tell me the best way to transfer my everything including itunes a/c to a brand new mac, thanks

    Hi, can anyone tell me the best way to transfer my everything including itunes a/c to a brand new mac, thanks

    Hello i recently transfered to a new mac and i have it perfectly figured out so first off dont use migration assestant if you don't want to get your old computer exactly on your new computer.  In my opinion starting on a fresh computer is best, BUT you still want your files so i have a video you can watch if my instructions don't make sense. 
    1. Go to finder and find your music folder
    2. click the folder labled itunes
    3. click itunes music or find the folder with all the folders in it that have names of artist or albums
    4. then select all those folders with the artis or album names with commant A this will select all those folders
    5. then drag these to and external hard drive or connect to your old mac from your new mac wirelessly to find these folder
    6. if you did wireless sharing option just drag all those folders to the itunes icon if you used an external harddrive find the folders on there and do the same.
    7. any questions please reply watching video will help.

  • What is the best way to upload videos to your PC.

    What is the best way to download videos from your iphone to your PC.

    There's no "best" way per se, and there's differences depending on what application created the video.  If you used the standard Camera app to take the video, simply connect your phone to your computer, after iTunes syncs you can close iTunes or minimize it, and open My Computer (Windows XP) or Computer (Windows Vista/7), and in the folder window you'll see a removable device called iPhone with a camera icon.  When you open that window, you'll see the contents of your Camera Roll where you can cut or copy the item, then paste onto Desktop or into another folder.  Other applications have different methods.  Some save to the Camera Roll so you can move those the same way, others, like iMovie, you have to first "share" the video to your Camera Roll after the film is complete, then remove the same way.  Other apps, like Silent Film for example, set up an FTP connection to your LAN and you retrieve the video via an FTP client (or a web browser as web browsers can log into FTP connections).
    Hope that helps.

  • What is the best way to store and search 2D data

    Hi,
    There is a set of data (~10k records ) in 2D dimension.
    like this :
    Col 1, Col 2, Col3....
    What is the best way to store and search those records ?
    Thanks in advance
    Wilson

    Hi,
    Either userObjet[][] if you know how much data you have, and the data size is fixed, or use a list of lists. E.g. A Vector of Vectors (some will probably say that you should use an ArrayList instead, and that could be the case, but it sounds like you would want to display the data later on, and a DefaultTableModel (for JTables) uses a Vector as data holder).

  • What's the best way to store my info externally

    I have recently bought my first Macbook Pro 13" with 2.4 Ghz. I am currently using it for my own business and do tend to get a lot of files together. I went to look at "About this Mac" and have already got 369 Gb used up in storage... I have no idea how I have done that as I have hardly downloaded any apps on this computer besides the ones that were on here. I did download Vware Fusion 4 as I have a reservation system which I used to run on my pc and need to have this on here too so perhaps that software takes a lot of space.
    Could anyone advise on which is the best way to store my info externally, will any external harddrive do, or do you need a special one for Apple or Macbook pro. I am just asking as I have no idea and prefer to buy the right one straight away.
    Any help would be much appreciated !
    Thanks, Sara***

    Sara,
    The most reliable method is to use an external hard drive.  Some are better than others, but most will work.
    For the least amount of setup pain, I prefer to deal with the Mac specialists at OWC, http://www.macsales.com as they stand behind their products with great warranty and support.  I have one of their Mercury Elite Pro 2 TB drives that has multiple interface capability so you can get a fast interface for data transfer.
    Take a look at what they offer and see what fits your needs.  If you have more questions about doing thin, just ask on here.

  • HT1364 I just bought a new PC and now have ample space on my C drive to house my music Library which is currenlty installed on a external drive.  What is the best way to install and move the itunes library to my C Drive?

    I just bought a new PC and now have ample space on my C drive to house my music Library which is currenlty installed on a external drive.  What is the best way to install and move the itunes library to my C Drive?

    If the entire library is on the external drive then simply copy the iTunes folder into <User's Music> on the new computer, then install iTunes. If you've already installed iTunes you will want to remove the empty iTunes folder in <User's Music> first.
    If it turns out you only have the media folder on the external drive then take a look at this post...

  • What is the best way to format Videos for ipod touch?

    What is the best way to format Videos for ipod touch? Used Quicktime Pro/ Export (iPhone setting). Videos aren't as crisp as downloaded Videos. Compressors /ipod video Setting also looks crapy (with bitrate med & High). What should I use?

    Visualhub is a transcoder with multiple input and output formats with specific setting for iPod,iPod touch. Costs around $19-used to work great but recently everything I convert suffers audio crash than closes out the player. Hopefully they will fix it.
    Elgato H.264 hardware transcoder is $99 dollars(USB stick that plugs in to Mac)-speeds up encoding of any file quicktime can handle, settings for apple tv, iphone/touch, ipod,Sony PSP. Worth the cost if you transcode a lot of video for the Touch or own an elgato HD tuner. Files work flawlessly and look great.
    Mpeg streamclip-free. Works great, has presets or can customize the output.

  • Best way to store data from a plot on hard drive

    I have a DAQ set-up that will be on 24/7 for several days, and the whole time it's streaming data to an XY-Graph with a limited buffer.  My question is, what's the best way to store my plot data in such a way that I can empty out my plot every few hours but if I want to pull up data from a few hours ago I would just have an option on my initial VI to view any old saved plot data.
    Basically, I'm trying to not overload my RAM with all my plot data so I'd like to save it to the hard drive while my VI is running, and only display, for example the last 8 hours worth of data... I've been looking at TDMS, but I'm not sure if that's the right solution.  
    much thanks!

    Hi,
    You could save your data using TDMS as well as ASCII to simply load it in another application later.
    Attached VI shows you how to save your data to a File after a certain amount of iterations, you can combine this then with your code and a timestamp.
