Changing the 'Video Kind'

I have a bunch of personal videos, movies, music videos and tv shows. Under 'Get Info'>'Options' you can change the video kind to either movie or music video. I want a better way to organize my videos. Does anyone know how to change it so the tv shows I've downloaded outside of iTunes are classified as tv shows and not movies?

Try going here:

The second article has a very brief description, with a sample command line. Here's my suggestion. Move the AtomicParsley folder onto the main drive (C:/) so there is less to enter for your paths (and less opportunity for mistakes), then copy the file you want to convert into the atomicparsley folder, and then change the name of the file to a short name with no spaces - try file1.m4v (mp4, etc).... Then, open atomicparsley and type the command line verbatim (pay special attention to the space before the file name in the string), except the path to the file (users/collins/24_1×01.). In it's place, insert your file name (file1.m4v), and enter the appropriate information that you're wanting to change and just hit enter.
It should run, and you'll see % markers scroll down the open window. It will notify you that the temporary file has been completed, and you can then rename the temporary file (in the atomicparsley folder) and test it to make sure it worked.
Since I'm not on a Mac, it's a little hard to be too specific since I'm completely unaware of what the Mac interface looks like in AP. But a command line is a command line, and it should work the same. Hope I was as clear as I can be under the circumstances....

How do you change multiple 'Video Kind' values at once?

Hello,
first of all, sorry if this has already been asked, but I tried searching for a straight answer in here and in other forums without any luck..
.. but I was wondering if there is a way to select multiple videos, and change their video kind to something else, all at once(eg. from Movie to Music Video)...
...When I select a group of videos and click get info, it doesn't give me the option to change the video kind, so I've had to change each one, one at a time, (which gets very tiresome :P)...
...so is there a way to change multiple 'Video Kind' values at once, or should I pray that it becomes available in the next update of iTunes?
Pentium 4 3.0 ghz Windows XP

You can't do it right now. Wait for the next update, and hope it's there.
For the moment, I suggest selecting Get Info on one song, changing the setting, then hitting the next button at the bottom to go right to the Get Info for the next song. You can rapidly change lots of these that way.

Is it possible to change the file Kind, e.g. mkv to video and not document?

Is it possible to change the file Kind, e.g. mkv to video and not document?
I can't find where I can change this in Finder or OSX. Is this really hardoded in the OS? Get Info gives me no options, but that is where I set the default apps for file kinds (types).
I hope this is possible because I have lot of document kinds and the arrange by kind view in Finder is thus not very useful.
Thanks in advance.

It has to be hard-coded in the application that claims MKV files as a type.

Ipad is deleting videos when you change the media kind to TV Shows

Ever since I updated to iOS 8, I have noticed that files that I have changed the media kind from "Home Video" to "TV Show", to better organize my videos on my ipad, are deleted when I press on them to play in the Videos app.
Is anyone else having this problem since updating to iOS 8? This is frustrating as now I have to leave them as regular "Home Video" kinds which means I have to wade thru a mess of files to find the video i want to watch while working out or studying.

I have the same issue on an Ipad with iOS 8, when adding videos via itunes on a MacBook Air. Also the videos that where on the Ipad pre-update in TV Shows and Movies tabs, went from playable to not playable. All videos in home videos tab work. It seems only when 'Media Kind' is changed is there a problem.
Temp work around is keeping all videos as home videos. Hmmm frustrating but may classify as a first world problem?

I mistakenly changed the video type to iTunes U

I was intending to classify it as a TV Show. Now I cannot see it on my Itunes U library therefore I cannot change the video type to the originally intended TV Show. I know the file exists by using Finder and browsing all the way down to Itunes U folder, but I can't edit the information (actually the "get Info" box in Finder is completely different from the "get Info" box in Itunes).
How can I make this files show up in Itunes U so that I can change the video type once again? Is there a way I can change the video type form outside Itunes?

Does it show up if you create a smart playlist with the rule Name is <Name>, or a similar constuction using the details you can recall? If so then you will be able to reset the Media Kind.

Is it possible to change the video card of a pavilion g7-1075dx?

So, I have an HP Pavilion g7-1075dx Notebook with Windows 7. I'm an avid gamer and wish to play the newest games. However, there's one problem thats keeping me from doing so. Alot of the newer games require newer video/graphics cards. This particular laptop has an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250. The newest games seem to require ATI Radeon HD 4850 and above. This is the only thing thats keeping me from playing games like Starcraft II on the highest settings OR in the case of Star Wars: The Old Republic, it almost keeps me from playing the game, period, due to the graphics being too much for my current card to handle, causing massive lag. I was hoping I could change the video card. Upgrade. However, i've heard that with most laptops or notebooks you can't upgrade anything other than the RAM. I'm hoping anyone on here can help me out and tell me if it is possible to get a new video card for my laptop. We don't have a desktop computer so this laptop is my only hope for a long time to play newer PC games.

Alright, let me put this in a simpler message: Does anyone know if it is possible to change the video card currently in my laptop, the HP Pavilion g7-1075dx, for a newer and better one. ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 to ATI Radeon HD 4850 or higher.

Change the video resolution when capturing a WEB-cameras

Language: Java
It is used in addition: JMF
When capturing video from WEB-cameras with JMF - getting the video is at the lowest resolution.
Can you please tell how to change the video resolution?
The code by which the captured image (no SWING-forms):
MediaLocator getWebCam = new MediaLocator("vfw://0");
private Player player;
Timer timer = new Timer(40, this);
public BufferedImage grabFrameImage() {
Image image = null;
FrameGrabbingControl frameGrabbingControl = null;
if (player != null)
frameGrabbingControl = (FrameGrabbingControl) player.getControl("javax.media.control.FrameGrabbingControl");
Buffer buffer = frameGrabbingControl.grabFrame();
if (buffer != null)
image = new BufferToImage((VideoFormat) buffer.getFormat()).createImage(buffer);
if (image != null)
return (BufferedImage) image;
return null;
public WorkWithWebCam() throws NoDataSourceException, IOException, NoPlayerException {
initComponents();
player = Manager.createPlayer(Manager.createDataSource(getWebCam));
player.start();
private void jButton1ActionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
timer.start();
public static void main(String args[]) {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try{
new WorkWithWebCam().setVisible(true);
}catch(Exception ex){}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
panelMain.getGraphics().drawImage(this.grabFrameImage(), 0, 0, 400, 300, null);
P.S. Can you please tell how this forum can be identified code \ listing?

Hello,
I don't know if there is a way to change the video. But I think you can easily use your own videos by using a local .mpg or .3gp file via InputStream. Just change the player's parameters in video/mpg instead of capture://video.
Hope it helps...

Changing the file kind's description

On my MacBook Pro running Leopard, I have several PHP files whose kind in Finder is displayed as "HTML Document". When I display the "Get Info" pop-up for a PHP file, the Kind field under General is not editable.
I would like to change the file's kind description from "HTML Document" to "PHP Source File". I have done a lot of digging and searching via Google to find a solution to this and I have not found anything that describes how to do this.
Is there a way under OS X to change the file kind description?

Hello jk:
I do not use those files, but I suggest you do a Google search on "PHP." There is a lot of information there.

In iTunes I'm having problems changing the "Media Kind" with a number of playlists in the OPTIONS menu from "music" to "audiobook". After going through the steps, the next time I check the items have reverted back to "music". What step am I missing?

In iTunes I'm having problems changing the "Media Kind" in the OPTIONS menu from "Music" to "Audiobook". After going through the steps, the next time I check, the items have reverted back to "Music". What must I do to save it as an "Audiobook"?

After more digging in the Support section here and some Google work, I turned off iTunes Match and lo and behold! I can change the media kind to Audiobook! So, it looks like iTunes Match locked the files up somehow and for some reason.
I went into iTunes Store > iTunes Match > "No, Thanks" to disable it on the local PC.

ITunes U can not change the video view size to 1x

After updating to iOS 6, I realised that the iTunes U video play can only display the maximal size view which makes the video quality very poor and there isn't any way for to change the video to 1x size. I wonder if anyone has found a solution for this issue yet. Thank you and look forward to hearing answers about this issue.

Help! How to change the video frame size during RTP transmission

Hi there.
In a RTP transmission:
How can I change the size of the frames of the video while I have the processor in the server running?
i.e. while the server is running, i want to change a video from 400x200 to 200x100
Thanks

I am trying to implement the same functionality. I've tried to reset the format using the trackControl.setFormat method but this only appears to be supported while the processor is in a configured state. I'm still investigating, but if you happen to know a solution please let me know.
Here is what I'm trying to do... In the middle of a session, I'm trying to change the video format from h263/rtp:352x288 to h263/rtp:176x144

Changing the media kind.

I can't change the media kind of a digital booklet to make it a book so I can sync it. And I don't have iTunes Match .

"Podcast" is not a file format or anything, it's simply how it was downloaded, such as by being listed in an RSS feed. That's why a PDF file can be a podcast. If you simply download (or create) an mp3 file, and add it to the iTunes Library, it still doesn't have any association with a podcast feed. I think to change it you need to hack one or more of the the user-unfriendly xml files in the iTunes folder. Not something I really want to mess with, unless it's just after a full backup.
Try this AppleScript "Re-Add Selected Tracks as Podcast v1.2" - from http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts07.php?page=1

HT201306 I can not change the "media kind" because it's greyed out. How do I get past this problem?

I can't change the "media kind" to book from music because this option is greyed out. How can I change this so I can view the digital booklet that should have come with my "delux" purchase?

Does this happen with all media in iTunes or just that one specific track?
If it happens with everything, try following along with turingtest2's fix in this thread -> Information boxes grayed out
The Music folder that those files are stored in might be locked or your user account may not have complete access.
If it only happens with one track, try importing it into iTunes again or redownloading it.

Can anyone tell me if i can change the video chipset ?

can anyone tell me if i can change the video chipset ?
my notebook model is hp pavilion dv6 1100ss ,, i know that my laptop has 512mb dedicated and 1278 shared total available memory of 1790,, and i wonder if i can change the dedicated part because i had to take the laptop to a service for repairs, the video chipset broken ,they repaird it somehow but the laptop fails when i try to see a video online / movie online /offline ,and again fails if i try to play a game the laptop just freezes and i have to unplug the power leave it like 5 to 10 mins and then power it up again, if i try to power on the laptop after i turn it off he just simply turns on for 2-3 seconds and turns off

Only a very small number of very expensive high-end gaming and engineeering workstation laptops have plug in video cards. Yours is not one of them. The video soldered to your motherboard is a type of video chip also delivered as a desktop video card and maybe as a plug in card for those few laptops. Again, not for yours.
