Convert Flash to iPod

Hi everyone,
Do you know of a way to convert a Flash file (.slf) to .mp4 or another format that the iPod video/classic will accept? I googled it and I can only find PC versions of applications that will do this...what about for the Mac faithful?
Please advise.

  • Comparison for iPod Users: Free Online Converter & DVD to iPod Converter

    Compare two channels of obtaining video sources for iPod: one is using online converter, the other is DVD to iPod Converter. After the general introduction of the two methods, I will analyze their advantages and disadvantages for you to choose according to your need.
    Part One: Enjoy YouTube (online videos) on iPod
    Instruction: a useful website to convert online video freely: http://www.vixy.net/
    For vixy, you can just copy the URL of the online video into the “URL” blank of the vixy, then choose the format you want to convert to. Click “Start”. For a short time, the conversion will be finished. You can click the “Download the converted video” to restore the file.
    http://www.aiseesoft.com/images/guide/vixy.jpg
    Advantages: Free online video converter. No software to install. Only a few clicks you can get the converted file after a short while. The most important thing is that online video sources are numerous and original, so you can get the first-hand sources in time through it. Some personal DVs are also shared with you.
    Disadvantages: They set limitation of the length and size of the video. The classical movies usually are not on line available. Even if existed, the quality of image and sound is inferiors.
    Part Two: Enjoy DVD movies on iPod Touch, iPod Nano, iPod Classic, iPhone, iPhone (3G), Apple TV
    We usually bought classical DVD movies for collection or regular watching later, but DVD cannot be copied directly into iPod for us to appreciate it at anytime and anywhere. On this occasion, we need to convert DVD to the format, video and audio settings (Resolution, Bitrate, Frame Rate, etc) supported by your iPod player.
    Instruction: the way to convert DVD to iPod: using Aiseesoft DVD to iPod Converter http://www.aiseesoft.com/dvd-to-ipod-converter.html
    Install and run Aiseesoft DVD to iPod Converter
    http://www.aiseesoft.com/download/dvd-to-ipod-converter.exe
    http://www.aiseesoft.com/images/guide/screen.gif
    Step 1: Click “Load DVD” button to import your DVD
    Step 2: Use “Profile” drop-down list to choose your output format.
    Step 3: Click “Settings” for setting your video parameters.
    At last click “Start” button to start your conversion.
    More tips:
    1. Merge into One File
    If you want to merge the selected contents into one file you can check the "Merge into one file" option. As default the merged file is named after the first selected file (either a title or a chapter)
    2. Movie Effect
    You can set the brightness, contrast, saturation of the video and volume of the audio.
    3. Trim Movie
    It can help you to capture the segment of your movie.
    http://www.aiseesoft.com/images/guide/dvd-to-ipod-thread-trim.jpg
    4. Crop Video
    You can remove black edge of your DVD movie and get any playing area of the video by using its "Crop Mode" function. You can also select "Zoom Mode" to extrude your video slightly to adjust to your portable devices so you can get the best video quality.
    http://www.aiseesoft.com/images/guide/dvd-to-ipod-thread-crop.jpg
    5. Take Snapshot
    It allows you to capture your favorite pictures from your movie.
    Advantages: In this way, you can make full use of your DVD: not only in DVD player, but your iPod player. The function of effecting and trimming allows you to clip the segment of the DVD movies complying with your will. You can enjoy more movies taking full advantage of your spare time while relaxing or traveling.
    Disadvantages: DVD movies are usually popular, lacking of individualization. You can not share others' DVs.
    With these two ways, we can enjoy the pleasure videos bring to us as much as we like. Have fun!

    Depending on what update your iPod is, you may need
    to dowload YAMB to make sure the videos play well on
    your iPod. If you are watching a converted video on
    your iPod and it freezes suddenly and this problem
    continues, you need to download YAMB and convert the
    files already converted with videora iPod converter
    with YAMB, this will only take a few minutes.
    I hope this helps you out.
    Nope. All that a person with that problem should have to do is just update their iPod firmware to 1.1.1 with the newest updater, as that issue has been resolved in the latest firmware.

  • Converting Video to iPod, can you change name of file

    When you convert Video to iPod format, can you change name of the new file or put some "marker" so one can tell which is the orginal and which is the new file?
    Currently it is difficult to tell between the orignal and the new file.
    thanks in advance
    Rohit

    You'd probably be better off doing this sort of editing in iTunes, and letting it move the files appropriately.
    Go to the preferences, Advanced tab, and check the box to 'Keep iTune Music folder organized'. Then any changes you make to song names or other info (within iTunes) will automatically be applied.

  • "Convert Selection for iPod" Command Increases File Size?

    Hello!
    I'm trying to convert a file that has the following characteristics (as reported in Quicktime Pro):
    Format: H.264 Decoder, 496 x 208, Millions, AAC, Stereo (L R), 44.100 kHz
    FPS: 25
    Data Size: 572.20 MB
    Data Rate: 659.18 kbits/sec
    Normal Size: 496 x 208
    I know the dimensions are strange, but it's because this is just a test I'm running on a workflow using Hand Brake to bring content back from a DVD (my content).
    Now, when I drop just the original file into iTunes and then try to put it on an iPod, it says it can't be played. So I use the handy new option in the Advanced menu, "Convert Selection for iPod." This yields a new file with the following characteristics:
    Format: AAC, Stereo (L R), 44.100 kHz, H.264 Decoder, 640 x 268, Millions
    FPS: 25
    Data Size: 1.36GB
    Data Rate: 1609.01 kbits/sec
    Normal Size: 640 x 268
    How is it that the data rate and file size have increased so much? It now plays on an iPod, but why? I was under the impression that usually the problem with getting video to play on an iPod was a data rate that is too high. So it seems strange to me that the second file works and the first doesn't.
    Finally, what is the difference between a file with the extension .mov and the extension .m4v? The original file has .mov and the converted ends up with .m4v. But they have the same characteristics in terms of codec. So what's the difference?
    Thanks for any help and info!
    Cameron

    I think I was able to resolve this myself after some trial and error. It looks like it is all in the name of the file. I've gotten some files to transfer after going into the Get Info section and updating the name (usually shorten the name or take out non-letter/number/# characters and then get the filename on disk to match.

  • Convert flash QT.mov to WMV or MPG

    Please help!
    Does anyone know the simplest way to convert a flash
    animation Quicktime movie to WMV or MPG?
    This is a rush, I'm working under deadline. Originally, I was
    told QT.mov was acceptable format.
    Now, I'm being told that their server can only handle WMV or
    MPG. When they tried to convert the
    QT file it was converted without the audio track. I've tried
    to download serveral of the free shareware converters -- no luck.
    (either corrupted or some glitch occurs or company logo is
    embedded in converted file).
    I know AE (AfterEffects) to some degree and I believe I can
    export to WMV of MPG there. But this is a huge file,
    trying to download it now at a cybercafe with two T1 lines --
    still it's "watching paint dry".
    Please anybody, any suggestions, please.
    Thank you.

    I think the simpliest way converting flash into video - use
    Flash To Video
    Encoder.
    recommendation for
    Adobe Premiere
    is a good one too

  • No Audio When Converting Videos For iPod

    whenever i convert video files for my ipod they do not have audio. i have tried several programs, and none work. i have read other discussions about this, and found that MPEG Streamclip worked for other people, however whenever i try to convert using this program, it says "Error: Can't Prepare The Movie" Can anyone tell my why i can't convert these videos? i cannot figure it out. thanks alot.

    I am not sure what you mean when you ask what the "compression formats" are.The compression formet refers the manner in which the media was encoded and, by extension, how the media must be decoded. I.e., it determines which codec (encoder/decoder or compressor/decompressor) is to be used with the media file.
    If you can tell me where to find those i could tell you what they are. I can, however, play the video in itunes, quicktime, and MPEG Streamclip.Simnce the files are playable in QT, the most common place to look for codec information is in the "Show Movie Info" window following the "Format:" entry. E.g., it might say:
    Format: MPEG2 muxed, 640 x 480orFormat: Apple MPEG4 Decompressor, 320 x 240, millions
    AAC, Stereo, 48,000 kHz
    i also am not sure if there is audio in the source file.Do you hear any audio when the original file is played? If not and there is no audio track (or "muxed") information, then there may not be any sound for you to convert in the first place.
    how do i find out if it is muxed?If it is "muxed," the format entry we say so. In this case blocks of audio data and blockes of video data are interspersed in a single data stream (track). This is the normal way MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 audio/video data is synchronized. In addition, these formats commonly lose their audio content when converted using QT Pro, iTunes, iMovie, FCE, FCP, or other QT based "frame-to-frame" synchronized workflow. (In the case of MPEG-2 in MPEG Streamclip or QT, the QT MPEG-2 component must also be installed in order to convert the video data alone.)
    most of my videos that won't convert for an ipod are downloaded from the internet. how can i find out if they are corrupted or incomplete?Internet files should always be considered suspect -- especially if they come from a peer-to-peer source. Messages that indicated QT cannot open an otherwise fully compatible QT format is often the best indication that there is a corruption problem or that the files were improperly closed at one point or another.
    most of my videos that won't convert for an ipod are downloaded from the internet. how can i find out if they are corrupted or incomplete?Normally ypu would post them to a web site or FTP storage area and post the URL. If files were downloadedd from a particular web site (e.g., a QT movie trailer), simply post the URL for the particular web page.

  • Converting Flash to HD Video

    I have made a very large flash animation (1920 x 1080, 40fps)
    with the intention of converting it so some other format (.avi,
    .mpg, .vob, etc...) so that it can be played on a digital media
    player (
    http://www.mvixusa.com/).
    I have successfully made the flash file but am unable to
    convert it without some significant loss in framerate, resolution,
    or quality. My machine is well equipped (quad-core Phenom, RAID,
    etc...) and I have access to CS3 master collection but have been
    unable to find a solution so far. You can see a sample here:
    http://aquarium.org/oddwaterTesting/odd3.htm
    I have tried exporting directly from flash, using after
    effects, and a handful of other dinky "flash converter" programs
    that seem to be meant for converting flash to lo-res handheld video
    or pirating online content. I need to find a solution asap. Any
    help you can give me is appreciated.

    If you're converting to any kind of standard HD video format,

    should have done your homework before setting up the file. For
    television, the frame rate is approximately 30 fps (actually 29.97)
    in NTSC (North America) and 25 fps in PAL (much of the rest of the
    world). There are other "standard" frame rates for HD video,
    including 59.94 and 60. But not 40. Compressed Quicktime, AVI and
    MPG is often rendered at 15 fps so as to make less gargantuan files
    and be playable on websites and handheld devices. This is done by
    skipping or interlacing every other frame. from an original created
    at 30 fps. But your 40 fps is an odd rate which wouldn't compress
    easily. Perhaps your media player is configured to play back movies
    only at standard rates.
    Awesome. This is the problem I was having. I actually had
    done some research and found that different types of encoding used
    different framerates and just settled on 40 since its a good high
    number. I anticipated possibly having to change the FPS so I made
    sure that the only sount is ambience, this way nothing besides the
    overall speed is messed up.
    quote:
    As a test, try building a small, temporary animation file at
    30 fps and see whether you experience the same problems.
    This is what I did eventually changing the entire file to 30
    fps.
    As a side note is there a standard framerate for HD?

  • Uploading/converting videos to Ipod

    Everytime i upload a video to itunes, and then convert it to my Ipod there is never any Audio, Why is this?????? or how can i restore the Audio to it????

    Quicktime, Quicktime Pro and iTunes don't convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
    See:iPod plays video but not audio.
    You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
    Videora is one, and there are others.

    Search the iPod video forum for other recommendations (this is the forum for older iPods), but beware of spammers trying to sell you their own product.

  • Converting Movie for iPod

    So, I have an .MPG file that i want to work on an ipod... but when i do the whole Advanced > Convert Selection for iPod thing which turns it in to an .MP4 file... the sound of the movie goes away.
    Is there a way to fix it so it doesnt... or is there another MPG > MP4 editor out there?

    If you need help first you'll need to explain a few more things. What version of QuickTime do you have installed? QuickTime 7.0.3 (which adds export to iPod feature) or QuickTime 7.0.4?
    I've heard some people had problems with upgrading to QuickTime 7.0.4 - namely they lose their Pro functionality. Also what version of Mac OS X are you running is it Panther (10.3.9) or 10.4 Tiger? How old is your Mac? Is it one of the Intel based Macs released at MacWorld '06 or an older PowerPC based one?
    Also what version of iTunes are you running? (This is important) iTunes 6 and higher requires QT 7.0.3 for best video playback. Videos I convert to iPod format using QT's export movie to iPod feature end up in .m4v format (the format of videos sold in iTunes) but mine are unencrypted - no FairPlay DRM.
    I am converting my own videos to the iPod's format. .mp4 is another format the iPod can use. If you have ffmpegX (Google it) can convert video to iPod video or iPod TV format.
    My videos exported to iPod format in QT 7.0.3 were originally in .AVI format.
    Export to iPod (320X240) format = .m4v (MPEG 4 Video)
    They work just fine and I have a Mac PowerBook G4 from winter 2003 with OS X Panther (10.3.9) + QuickTime 7.0.3 + iTunes 6.0.2

  • Converting Movies for iPod: No Sound

    Whenever I convert a movie for my iPod, there is no sound in the converted file. The original movie has sound, but it is in a form that you can't put on iPod.
    By the way, I am using the Convert Selection for iPod/iPhone under the Advanced menu.
    Any ideas??

    Try using MPEG Streamclip to convert the videos; more information on this issue is available in this article.

  • Not syncing after converting videos for ipod

    SOS...I have an elGato eyetv on my mac and I have a few videos captured from it (eyetv) that i intend to put on my iPhone. I read the iPhone manual re videos (chapter 6 ipod) and follewed the instruction on converting so I did the " Converting Videos to iPhone by going to Advanced> Convert Selection for iPod". It seems iTunes did indeed the convert.
    My question is I just put my iphone on the dock to sync with itunes but it's not doing anything. It's been there over 15 mins but no prompts etc. It says SYNCING CONTACTS WITH *'S IPHONE forerver on the top field or status bar of itunes. The cord-like thing in it is moving. Meanwhile, phone says Sync in Progress. Prior to converting the videos, syncing had been flawless.
    Please help.. Thanks!

    Opppsss, i talked too early. I'm not getting a sound from the converted videos. I now remember that sound has always been compromised converting to eyetv native format to QT. Is anyone familiar with eyetv? Your help would be more than welcome as to how I convert to mpeg WITH sound.
    Thanks a lot.

  • Convert selection for ipod?

    When I right click a video file in my library, "convert selection does not show up". It just says "Convert selection to AAC" (which is my importing file-type.)
    How do I get it to say "convert selection for ipod"??

    Like someone else said, iTunes needs to be updated.
    Also, know that the option only comes up if the video is not in iPod format.
