Convert my movie to play on a nano

I was wondering what compression you need to export a movie so it can play on the nano? I'm using Final Cut 4.0.
Thanks!

Might want to check the Creating Podcasts forum.
FCP4 was built long before there were video-capable nanos. You may require additional (possibly free or cheap) software or upgrades to Quicktime Pro on your system to get the required codecs and functions.

  • No sound after "Converting home movie to play on AppleTv

    I take short movie clips with my digital camera. After getting them into iTunes and converting them to play on the ATV, the sound is gone? What am I missing? The sound is fine playing in iTunes prior to the conversion. A search on this forum shows this question asked a couple times with no resolution...

    I just tested it. I used mpeg streamclip to convert an mpg movie to mp4 format. It does take a little bit of time to do but you can batch the bunch and then eat lunch or something. I dragged the mp4 movie into itunes movie folder and it not only put it there but also immediately began syncing it to my apple tv. I have also been able to move .mov files into itunes...have not yet loaded any into apple tv but I think itunes can convert it, as can quicktime.
    Another thing...you will find the same problem with mpg files and imovie 8 or final cut express. The little movies need to be converted to .mov or some other format to be imported. I just made a folder for the mpgs and use batch for all of them then can import into iphoto or whatever the resulting files (usually .mov is what I use but I think mp4 is better for apple tv?

  • My nano arbitrarily moves from playing to paused, with no human interaction

    My 1st gen nano arbitrarily moves from playing to paused, with no human interaction. This seems to be worse when it is in my Altec Lansing InMotion speaker, but it happens when it is not in the speaker as well.
    Reset didn't do anything helpful.
    It ran out of warranty 2 days ago.
    Suggestions?

    I've also tried resetting my iPod nano (2nd gen)and nothing helped with the pausing issue. But one thing that did help for awhile was resetting the nano, deleting the songs and restarting it....

  • Can't convert saved movies to ipod compatibility

    how do i make it convert the movies to make it work on my ipod?

    What kind of iPod do you have? Rental Movies will only play on the iPod Classic (not the 5th Generation iPod), the iPod Touch, the iPod Nano with video and the iPhone:

  • Why won't MP4 file play on my nano?

    Hi all,
    I have an .mp4 file that was created as a compilation from several .avi files, and converted using oxelon. It plays in quicktime ver 7.6 and it plays within iTunes 8.1. When I drag it to my nano in iTunes it says it can't be added because it can't be played on the nano. Why would this be?
    Thanks,

    Ok, for those stumbling on this thread with the same issue, I found an answer.
    If you right click on the movie (but ONLY when in list-view--oddly the options don't show when it's in thumbnail view), there is an option "Convert to iPod or iPhone version". It takes a long, long time but it works.
    I wondered though, instead of the nasty "This can't be played on the nano!", why wouldn't Apple put up a message ....oh, I don't know...something like "This needs to be converted, would you like iTunes to convert it for you?"
    No, I didn't see that message...I just saw the nasty message. No helpful suggestions. Hmmm.
    Just food for thought for any Apple people who might want their products to gain a reputation as 'user friendly'...

    Well, turbo.264 is indeed very nice to have - even for converting full-sized movies. (Nevertheless, TechRadar's latest roundup (see http://www.techradar.com/news/software/applications/6-of-the-best-video-converte rs-for-mac-1074303 ; also linked from another roundup at http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/benchmark-excellent-multimedia-converter-handb rake-vs-commercial-apps ) has shown it's still worse than HandBrake in most respects.)
    All H.264 files (assuming they are H.264 level 4.1 or lower) are compatible with the built-in Videos app.

    Those of you who use other players, what do you reccomend? Just curious.
    It entirely depends on your needs. The top players (AVPlayerHD / ProPlayer, It's Playing, GoodPlayer) all have different strengths and weaknesses. I myself use It's Playing the most as I convert everything into MP4 and simply love the DSP's (brightness / volume / saturation boosting). (Its software decoders are definitely worse than those of AVPlayerHD / ProPlayer; however, MP4's are played back from hardware.)

  • Suddenly, I can't move purchased music to my Nano!!!

    I have been using my Nano v1.0 with iTunes 6.02 and updating with no problem. The other day I udpated the Nano to 1.1. For the longest time after that, whenever I attached the Nano, iTunes would crash.
    I've since remobved iTunes and reinstalled the earlier version of it, 5.0 and removed the Nano and reinstalled it using the original software, version 1.0 (5.9?).
    Now iTunes doesn't crash and I can move my music to the Nano that I have in my library, that I DID NOT buy from iTunes. It will not recognize anything I've purchased from the iTunes site.
    In essence, my version of iTunes doesn't recognize my Nano anymore as the match for purchased music.
    I've tried everything, installing, upgrading, un installing and downgrading. i took the Nano to the store and it works fine as an orphan with their system.
    What do I do??? I am going on vacation and want to take the music I bought.
    Please help me.
    Thanks,
    Dickkalt

    I have a similar problem. I have a Windows PC with iTunes and purchased some music from the iTunes store. The music appears and plays on iTunes but, even after synching (and doing a complete iPod restore) it does not appear on my iPod (Touch).
    Please help.

  • Convert a movie from Quicktime to MPEG4 in MPEG Streamclip

    I want to convert a movie from Quicktime (.mov) which I created in Final Cut Express to MPEG4 in MPEG Streamclip to be able to see it on my Samsung TV. The problem is that the uncompressed movie, comverted only from Quicktome to MPEG 4, stops almost every moment on my Samsung TV. I have connected an external harddrive in NTFS there via USB 2.0 (Samsung TV cannot play movies in HFS etc.). The uncompressed movies are bigger than 4GB in Quicktime.
    I got the following information from Samsung (in German):
    "Sie berichten, dass Filme zum Laden stoppen, die auf Ihrem MacBook Pro flüssig laufen. Bitte beachten Sie hierbei, dass der Fernseher hinsichtlich Rechenleistung nicht mit einem Computer vergleichbar ist. Weiters verfügt der Fernseher über einen USB 2.0 Anschluss, was die übertragbare Datenmenge ebenfalls begrenzt.
    Die allgemeinen Spezifikationen für Videodateien finden Sie im Benutzerhandbuch ab Seite 248:
    http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/201112/20111208190112921/Web_GSDVBE UA_GER.pdf
    Auf Seite 251 finden Sie für MPEG4-Videos folgende Beschränkung: Bei "mehr als 1280 x 720: max. 30 Frames".
    Als Alternative schlagen wir Ihnen vor, Ihr MacBook Pro per HDMI direkt an den Fernseher anzuschließen, die Videos auf dem MacBook Pro abzuspielen und den Fernseher als Monitor zu verwenden. In diesem Fall entfallen die vorher genannten Beschränkungen."
    I ask here how to use MPEG streamclip (free version; I use 1.9.2) so convert my movies into MPEG 4 so that I cann watch it on my Samsung TV.
    I filled out "Bildrate" "30" but this did not work. I have chosen less quality but there are still - less - interruptions and I find it laborious to test different versions of less quality so that it might work.
    I ask you also because I want to create my movies to give it to other people via the internet (f.i. via rapidshare) but I need a smaller size of my movies and do not know all the different TVs my friends have. I cannot imagine that it is not possible to create a movie in MPEG 4 that cannot be seen in many TVs via an external harddrive?

    I know that I can do that also in FCE. It takes much more time to convert a movie into MPEG4 than to export it as uncompressed movie in QuickTime which I can use f.i. in iDVD to burn a DVD or watch it on my MBP.
    But I don't know the versions of TVs of other people if I want to send them the movie via internet f.i. via mydrive.ch etc. which have limited space if used for free. So which settings to choose for an output in MPEG4?
    For my one use it is o.k. if the movie can be seen correctly in MPEG4 on my TV but I can also watch it via my MBP on my TV via HDMI.

  • *.mov files play on ipad without audio

    I have recently transferred some *.mov files from my PC to iPad. These files play perfectly well on PC in both Quicktime Player and Windows Media Player. However, when I try to play them on iPad, I get video only (no sound). I have latest versions of all softwares so cannot figure out why iPad is not playing audio of only these files. I had some old *.mov files on my iPad which play perfectly well (both video and audio) so how can I fix this problem.

    I had some WMV files which I had converted to *.MOV using AVS Video Converter. I have compared the properties of old *.MOV files which play on iPad perfectly well (using QuickTime Player) with the properties of the newly-transferred files and they are exactly the same in every aspect. Is it possible that because of low memory (about 4GB) left on iPad after the new files' transfer, the audio is not playing on iPad?

  • Converting an MOV into an SWF

    I was told that I need to use my Adobe software (Adobe Creative Suite CS6 Master Collection) to make this conversion.  I have a customer that wants me to convert an MOV file to a Motion SWF file with the following parameters (What settings do I use, and how do I play the video back on my AVID computer?):
    IMPORTANT GUIDELINES FOR PREPARING YOUR MOTION FILE
    Motion Flash (SWF)
    • Your motion ad must contain an action-script STOP on the last visual frame at least 3 seconds in prior to the end of your allotted time duration. (As for example, a 10 second spot must have all motion STOP around the 7 second mark – the remaining 3 seconds will simply remain stationary on
    the last visual frame of creative). Looping files (repeating) won’t be accepted. Please keep in mind that this STOP command ensures your ad to run smoothly and will eliminate an abrupt ending.
    • Recommended frame-rate: 15-20 fps.
    • In general, avoid long tweens, 3-5 frame tweens are optimal. This also includes alpha fades and color shifts.
    • No multi-level files or nested movie clips. Animation must be contained in (1) SWF file.
    • Audio is not supported. Remove all audio tracks from the file.
    • Be sure to resize and color correct images PRIOR to importing into Flash.
    • Provide a "landing pad" (a single visual that doesn’t move at the end of the animation) designed to be at least 20% of the total length of your animation. The landing pad will enhance visual impact and provide headroom for an animation that might play too slowly.
    • When exporting the .SWF, set JPEG quality to 50-60%, do not password the file.
    • Avoid large amounts of text, or text under 10 pt. Screen images should be easily readable at a distance of 3 feet.
    • Be aware that using programs like After Effects and Fireworks and then exporting the finished animation to .swf will generally result in poor performance since the export converts vector objects to bitmaps. Crisp edges and smooth playback are compromised.
    • Review/ Test the final .SWF for color, quality and to ensure that all requirements have been met prior to submitting.

    Basically you'll need to provide your own getParameter
    method. It's easy with a java.util.HashTable -- the
    parameter name as the key.that means that i would have to go back and change the old code, correct?

  • IDVD is mysteriously converting my movie to widescreen

    Hi,
    I'm using Final Cut Express 3.5.1 and I have created multiple sequences, each of which is exported to QuickTime Movie (not the conversion option) and it is not self-contained. Out of all the 8 exports I have created, one is being shown in iDVD as widescreen - when I choose the preview option.
    All video came from the same video camera and from the same reel of tape (DV). I was wondering if anyone has run into this problem before and how did you fix it? I've tried creating a new sequence and creating a new export but the same problem occurs. Initially I was assuming that the problem is with FCE and not with iDVD but the good folks on the FCE forum suggested it may be an iDVD issue and I should also post here?
    Thanks,
    Walter ...

    Ok, back from my experiments.
    The DVD burned fine last night and I checked everything out on my Xbox 360 DVD player, attached to my widescreen tv. The movie actually looked ok, and I was pretty excited. I had two clips on the DVD, the first that displayed the "widescreen preview" mode in iDVD, and a second clip that previewed in 4:3 in iDVD. However, both of these looked basically the same on my tv. Then, I realized that my tv is widescreen, and was converting the movies to all look that same...stretched out wide.
    So, I loaded the DVD on my MacBook to see what would happen. This is where I saw the difference. Since my MacBook is widescreen, the first video clip filled the entire screen, and everyone was stretched out wide. But, when I played the second video clip, my MacBook actually placed black bars on the side, playing the movie in its true 4:3 format. I then exited the fullscreen playback mode and started the DVD in the windowed mode. I watched the DVD player adjust the window width from 4:3 for the DVD menu screen to 16:9 (incorrectly) to play the first movie clip again.
    To me, this all proves that what you see on iDVD (widescreen preview) is what you get on the DVD.
    Now, regarding the chapter page videos showing in widescreen, this looks to be inherent on many the new iDVD themes that default to 16:9 mode. For some reason, when you tell iDVD to use 4:3 mode, it doesn't adjust the small chapter video clips accordingly, but leaves them in widescreen. But, this could be just the design of some of the themes, regarding the way they look.
    To me, I've concluded that the iDVD preview is accurate to show how the DVD will actually look when played...widescreen vs. standard. But, I'm still not 100% sure why iDVD is stretching my 4:3 movies to 16:9. The extra audio jingles may be a clue. So, my next step is to convert the .aiff jingle files to .mp3 files, and then replace those in my movie. I'll do this sequence by sequence...maybe I can determine the cause here.
    Oh, and if you haven't seen Iron Man, I recommend it.

  • Authoring Movie For Play On Ipad HELP!!

    I am trying to author a movie in After Effects in order to import and play on an IPad.
    I would like the movie to play full screen on the IPD.
    No matter what settings that I use for rendering or what resolution that I have tried so far, I can create a movie that plays on the computer and in ITunes but when I try to bring it into the IPad, it wont do it. It gives me the error message that the movie is unplayable on an IPad.
    PLEASE, can someone tell me what settings are correct in order to render the movie so that it will play on this thing?
    Simply rendering it to h264 is not enough.
    PS I took screen shot of the IPad and tried to use it as the background of the movie. Therefore I made the movie the same resolution as the screenshot graphic.
    That didn't work either.
    I then saved the movie as a >mov and went into adobe media converter and tried to convert it to h264 at 720 x 480. Still a no go.
    HELP!

    From Apple's iPad specs:
    H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
    Make sure your files have m4v, mp4 or mov as a suffix.  Make sure audio also has correct specs.
