    how can i convert video files from my mac to watch them on my iphone?, how can i convert video files to watch them on my iphone?

    Turns out the answer to that question changes if you ask it more than 4 times, so ask it again....
    The answer depends on the type of video files you want to convert.  If they are DRM protected commercial videos, no help can be given here.  Google.

  • How can I convert video in a WMA format to play in QuickTime Pro?

    I have installed my QuickTime Pro, but cannot play any of my videos that I already have stored on my computer. They are all in the WMA format. Is there anyway I can convert these files to play in Quicktime Pro? I also cannot figure out how to download a video from my digital video camera into QuickTime Pro. Can you help me with this? Additionally, I cannot figure out how to download from my digital camera into QuickTime Pro. All of these functions I would like to do, are so I can take these videos & pictures and download them to my IPOD. HELP - thanks Mike Mirsch

    Hi again Mirsch,
    I have Mac OS X and I have Quicktime 7.1 Pro.
    I know that you can record a movie by making a new movie recording. Use the fire-wire connection to do this and have you camera in playback or deck mode. This is probably not the best way to import video to your pc. I say this because it might not be a lossless ingest of video (depending on your quicktime preferences>recording settings.
    Try saving your dv video onto your pc using a program like premier (i use iMovie and Final Cut Express).
    Good luck,

  • Can't convert videos to MP3 in Windows iTunes

    In the Mac version of iTunes, I can convert a video podcast into an audio-only MP3 file. I do this by highlighting the podcast episode, then going to File and clicking on "Create New Version" then holding down the "option" key to activate the "Convert to MP3."
    But when I try this in the Windows version of iTunes, I cannot get "Convert to MP3" to activate. Instead, it remains grayed out and nonfunctional. My Windows keyboard doesn't have an "option" key and neither the "ctrl" key nor the Windows key nor the "alt" key will activate the command.
    So how do I get "Convert to MP3" command to activate.

    This is SUPER, what I use to convert videos. All the settings I have selected are what I used to get the video to work. The problem I had before is that someone told me that the iPod uses MPEG-4 video, and I assumed that .mp4 was the file extension(Output Container sets what the file extension will be) for MPEG-4. Turns out, it's not. The OUTPUT VIDEO CODEC needed to be MPEG-4, but what I had it set to was H.264/AVC. So the Output Container was right, just not the Output Video Codec.
    So basically, the fix is to just use the right settings Which, if you use SUPER, is everything I have shown(Adjust the bitrates to your liking. More is higher quality, less battery life. I just watched "Wanted" last night with those current settings, and it looked and sounded alright, but I'll probably put the audio up to the next level for any future movies).

  • How can I convert video for iPhone with multiple audio/subtitle? (I am using Windows)

    Handbreak is available on Windows platform, however its conversion speed is too slow!
    I hope there are some tools that can combine my converted video together with my audio track and subtitle, and I can select between audio or subtitle inside my iPhone 4.
    Anybody can help me??

    Hi,
    Have you found a solution for this? Can anyone help with this?
    If I have a video track with multiple alternate audio tracks how can you play this on iOS?

  • How can I convert video with srt subtitles?

    If I have an avi plus an .srt subtitles file, how can I convert this to play on the iPad?
    If, on my iMac, I use Quicktime, I can save the avi as .mov with hard subs.  But when I convert this .mov to mp4, the subtitles disappear.

    Why go to all the trouble of converting? Why not just download an app that can play .avi files with subtitle support?

  • Can't convert videos, please help!

    Ok, I did'nt get any answers the last time i posted this message, so I'll try again. It would be thankful if anyone answered me.
    I have the latest Itunes and an Ipod 30Gb MKII. On my computer I have some music videos and some movies too in the formats .Avi, .Mov and perhaps more. The problem is that when I try to add them into my library in Itunes some won't just add?! And the little bunch of videos that after all do make it into the library won't fit into my Ipod even though I convert them into the proper format with my Itunes. The converted ones says "wrong format" or something. When I choose the setting to manually load my Ipod with videos, the converted videos work on my Ipod, but there's no sound. Why? Please help!

    Some MPEG files don't seem to take the audio when you do an export from Quicktime player I've noticed, so i have to extract the audio and video seperately and re-mux them using a program call mpeg works, (all on a mac i'm afraid though).
    the best way to make sure you get them iPod ready is to use quicktime to export the files using the iPod export setting. I think you need quicktime pro activated ($19 well spent for loads of video stuff). also you might need whatever the PC version of 'flip for mac' which allows avi and other non quicktime content to be played and edited/exported.....
    doubt that helps too much though hey!
    good luck.
    to be fair, video on the ipod is pretty pants anyway i wouldn't bust a gut getting it on there...

  • Quicktime Pro - Can it convert video recorded in DVR-MS?

    I have a Media Center PC with a DVR that records cable tv into DVR-MS files. Can Quicktime Pro convert these files into a video file that will play on a video iPod?
    This is my main reason for purchasing Quicktime Pro so I want to make sure this can happen.
    I appreciate any help anyone can provide!

    No.

  • How can I convert video off my iPad

    Hey guys, I got a question. Our school had recently got a program to submit game film, called Huddle. Well it uses a better camera on a iPad Mini. However, I still want a hard copy of the game on the DVD before I submit it into Huddle. What my question is can I take a Lightening Adapter, and then plug a 30 pin adapter to video cords to stream video off the iPad into the DVD burner for basketball games? Or is there a more easier way to do this that I am unaware of...I am just curious since I am pretty tech shabby, and I just wanted to run it by you guys to see if it would work the way I want it to. Thanks!

    Buy/Rent your movies from iTune Store and watch them using the Videos app.

  • Free software to convert video on mac?

    When looking for free software to convert some MTS and WMV files to play on my blackberry Z10, I found two software talked about most by people online, Handbrake and MacX Video Converter Free Edition.
    Handbrake, I know it is popular among people, could convert any video to MP4 (M4V), MKV and convert videos for popular mobile players including iPad, iPod, Apple TV, PSP, etc.
    While MacX Video Converter Free Edition is able to convert between HD videos MKV, M2TS, AVCHD and SD videos AVI, MP4, MOV, FLV etc. It also can easily convert videos to iPad 5, iPhone 5S, iPod, Samsung, HTC, PSP, Microsoft, Xbox and ,more as well as convert pictures into a slideshow video.
    Anyone tried both of them? Which one is better?

    When I download standard Video Podcasts H264/MPEG4 does the Itouch need to Transcode them? Example on the Creative Zen V plus downloading the latest edition of Cnet Live it took 13 minutes to convert the file. Will files downloaded from Itunes be about the same size from the download to the player? Example a 200Meg file downloaded to the Zen V Plus will convert to 1 Gig or more!
    Thanks for your help.

  • No sound when convert videos to ipod

    i have bought quicktime pro, and i can successfully convert videos onto my ipod, but there is no sound on them. has anyone got a clue how i can resolve this?
    thanks alot

    No new "points" can be given as yours was just a tagged on response to an already answered question.
    Muxed file formats (MPEG 1 or 2 and Flash) are intended for playback only. MPEG 1 or 2 require licensing agreements ($$) from the Moving Pictures Export Group (the people that make the file name MPEG) which would be passed on to all end users and Apple has decided against those extra fees.
    Those are the "limitations" of the Apple software. It currently doesn't extract audio from muxed file formats and I don't expect any changes any time soon.
    Dozens (hundreds) of third party software apps can convert your file and include audio. Many of them are free.
    MPEG Streamclip offers both a Mac and Windows version. It can convert your .mpg file with audio. It even has a "one button" export feature to meet the specifications for iPod files.
    Now you really know the limitations of the software and the reasons for them.
    Get some third party tool to make your iPod files from your muxed file formatted ones.

  • ITunes fails when trying to convert videos for iPod Touch

    I have loaded videos taken from digital cameras (Fuji and Canon) into iTunes (latest version) and I can view them using the QuickTime reader (also latest version). Before syncing them to my iPod 4th gen, I go to advanced options and click on Convert for iPod or Iphone. After 1 or 2 seconds, iTunes craps out with what looks a protection exception. (iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for...)
    When I click to find out more details, the Error signatures says Appname iTunes.exe, AppVer: 10.1.0.54 Mod Name: coreaudiotoolbox.dll ModVer: 7.9.4.0 Offset: 000b2f84.
    I rebooted with same result. The same problem occured many times, with iPod connected or not and using different videos. I tried to download the test video from the Apple site, but nothing happens when trying to download.
    I am on Windows XP, SP3, fully patched.
    Thanks for helping.

    OK. Problem solved.
    I removed all Apple software using Add/remove software in Control Panel.
    Rebooted.
    Used Advanced System Care (free edition) to scan and fix the registry. There were over 200 problems related to iTunes or QuickTime in the registry.
    Downloaded a fresh copy of Itunes.
    Re-installed.
    I can now convert videos to Ipod.
    Hope this can help others having similar problems.

  • 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 DVD- video into Apple's format so that I can play the content on my Mac and also stream it to my Apple TV? A few years ago, I transferred all of my home videos onto DVD but now would really like to put these onto my Mac and stream them through Apple TV to watch on the "big screen". Any advice would be most welcome!! Thanks

    Apple do not have their "own" format. You need to convert your DVDs to H.264 though.
