Can't convert Mp4s?

So what's the deal with iTunes and this Mp4 codec format? I purchased 2 songs from iTunes and have just discovered that they don't show up in my LG Venus cellphone songlist editor? With a little digging I find out they're NOT .Mp3s but .Mp4s. What's worse is I can't convert them to Mp3s either with any converter I've tried as I keep getting errors. What's this about?

DRM=Digital Rights Management
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digitalrightsmanagement
"Digital rights management technologies attempt to control use of digital media by preventing access, copying or conversion by end users to other formats"
It essentially allow music studios to retain some control of the music they produce, to prevent the user (you and me) from abusing it such as indiscriminately sharing music to people who haven't paid for it.

    Use MPEG Streamclip to convert it to DV.
    .. only if the mp4 contains SDef content.
    mp4 is a container, no 'format'.
    could contain HDef too (Streamclip should convert to QT/AppleInterediateCodec) 
    could be imported to iM without conversion
    could be handled instantly with usage of perian.org plug-in
    could not be handled on MacOs anyhow ...
    .. depends on, what's inside the mp4 ............

    You import the new files to your FCP project from the location you told compressor to save them.

  • Can't convert MP4 to .fLV for flash using encoder CC 2014

    Hi
    Seriously adobe, I wish I never upgraded to CC, it's been a nightmare.
    I need to convert an MP4 to an .flv for flash pro CC. Encoder CC no longer supports this, which is UNBELIEVABLE....
    I use a third party vendor for video in flash banner advertising and it only supports .flv files.
    Can someone tell me what other programs allow me to so the MP4 to FLV conversion?

    > Can someone tell me what other programs allow me to so the MP4 to FLV conversion?
    The previous version of Adobe Media Encoder or After Effects, which you can have installed alongside the current version:
    removal of FLV and F4V export features from Adobe Media Encoder, After Effects, and Premiere Pro

  • How can i convert .mov to .mp4?

    Hello again
    I have made a large promo dvd for an upcoming seminar and the national organization would like to put it on its website.
    I broke it down into chapters so that it is not one long cumbersome piece, and visitors can watch just the parts they need.
    On our local website, I was able to share to media and then use iweb to upload them in an album.
    However, the national webmaster uses a different web program so I need to create the chapters as self-contained movies for her to download first from our downlload site. She says that the .mov files hang up when she's downloading and wants them as mp4.
    How can I convert them?
    Thank you
    Elizabeth

    hello .... sorry it's taken me so long to return here ....
    To separate it into chapters, I brought it into Final Cut pro, and marked the In and Out for one chapter, then exported just that selection.... as an mpeg4 (Quicktime conversion) . As one chapter was finished and exported (Self-contained movie) i moved the In and Out points to the next chapter, and continued along this way.
    If you don't have Final Cut, then you should be able to do the same in iMovie: import the whole movie, then select the portion of the movie that belongs in one chapter, drag it to the timeline, edit as necessary (fades, etc) then export (Share) that chapter. Repeat for each portion of the movie you want to isolate. When you export/share, you can choose the option of size that you want it to be.
    Hope this helps and that I'm not too late for you  !!

  • How can I convert a MOV file to 4K MP4?

    How can I convert a MOV file to 4K MP4 file? I can't find any default setting for MP4 nor I do known how to set one.

    Start with the Plus sign in the Setting pane> New Setting. Choose MPEG4 from dropdown. Give it a name and save and it will be saved in your custom presets. Make adjustments to resolution, bit rate, etc in Inspector.

  • How can I convert a mov to MP4?

    To convert mov to mp4, try iOrgSoft Video Converter which is able to do video conversion among different video file formats. It's not freeware but worth trying.

  • 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!

  • How can i convert a file in flash

    HI
    GOOD
    I NEVER FACED SUCH KIND OF ISSUES, BUT HERE I AM GIVING SOME DETAILS ABOUT SAP RDI FORMAT,I HOPE THIS WILL HELP YOU TO SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM.
    Description
    Using the SAPscript Raw Data Interface (RDI), you can connect external text management systems to control individual requests, for example, optimizing postage expense. The interface contains all form data from the R/3 System, but no layout information such as font or page size. The external system alone is responsible for the layout and administration of the document data. The RDI is of special importance for mail processing. The external system sorts the document data from the interface and forwards the documents accordingly.
    The Raw Data Interface is a certified interface and allows easy connection to external systems. However, you pay the price for this extra function, as you lose tight integration with the R/3 System. For example, you cannot find out from within an R/3 application whether the external system successfully printed and sent the documents. In addition, extra expense is incurred each time you adapt a standard form, since the system has to adapt both an internal and external form. The external tool is not an integral part of the ABAP Development Workbench, so that field information (field type, output length and so on) from the ABAP Dictionary is not available.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS4 converting mp4 to FLV

    Hi,
    First up why is there no forum for Adobe Media Encoder CS4?
    My issue is whith converting MP4 to flv.
    The video is added to the que.
    Problem is no video picture is shown, during the convert process.
    When I go into setting and move the play head along the timeline no video is shown.
    The video was generated using Apple's HD iMovie.
    All setting are on default.
    Can someone please help.
    Why is source video has no picture. If I do encode to flv I just get the audion
    Does Adobe have some problem with MP4 created by Apple HD Movie?
    Regards,
    Simon

    well im guessing or atleast hoping you 3 who posted on here got it sorted out by now but thought id post on here to help anybody who has the same problem in the future.i had the same problem and after searching a few different forums i found that mp4's are a bit troublesome when converting them.apparently a good way to get around it is opening the mp4 in quicktimepro  and then exporting it as an flv.i dont know if its that simple but i dont have quicktimepro anyway so i couldnt do it.
    but here is what i did- i uploaded my video to youtube.
    then using     keepvid.com   i downloaded it from youtube as an flv file.(you have the choice of a few different file types)
    now it works in my flash perfectly.
    hope it helps somebody and if anybody knows an easier way (there must be one) please let me know
    cheers

  • Can you insert mp4 files in Captivate 5?

    Folks
    I really need to use mp4 files in captivate 5 as the quality of these surpasses flv files.  We do not have licences for Captivate 6 so can't use that.  Any advice would help tremendously.
    Roz Faulkner

    Hello Roz,
    Only way is to convert them as FLV and use them. Can you convert them to FLV using Adobe Media Encoder? That usually retains the quality, there are many presets as well that you can use.
    Thanks,

  • Convert mp4 format to mp3,wmv,etc in nokia mobile

    Hey, i'm using a nokia 7230 mobile handset, which doesn't support mp4 vedios which i download from the internet. I hate connecting my phone to the computer just to convert the vedios and back.. So is there an app i can download to convert mp4 vedios in the handset, so i can stream it....

    Yes, go to Preferences in iTunes, set the Import setting under the General tab to use MP3. Then select the tracks you want to convert, now you should see a choice in the File menu called 'Create New Version' with a sub-choice of MP3.
