Converting flac films into iTunes format ?

I have a series of films that are in flac format, and wish to put them into iTunes and on my iPad. I have searched on other forums but all of the converters are only for music (flac into mp3). Is there a free converter to put flac into mp4 or another format iTunes would be happy to play? Thanks :)

FLAC is an audio codec only (FLAC stands for "free lossless audio codec"), so that's all you'll find are audio converters. Your movies may use FLAC as the audio track, but the video will be in some other format. You'll need to find a converter that can handle that video format, whatever it is, and also audio tracks in FLAC format.
Regards.

I am going to place a 30 minutes dvd film on a website for one of my clients. Before converting tje old vhs-film to dvd I must know what format will suit the needs best. HTTP, Flash, Quicktime or something else?

I am going to place a 30 minutes dvd film on a website for one of my clients. The film was shot 15 years ago and is in vhs-format. Before I will have the film converted into a dvd-format I want to know what format will suit my needs best. HTTP, Flash, Quicktime or something else? I will make it easy for myself placering the dvd film on the site and for the vistors who wish to look att the film.

The DVD format (MPEG-2) isn't appropriate for Web use.
Use QuickTime and H.264 video codec with AAC audio. Size the file at 320X240 (best fit for your old file).

I need to know the best, safest way to convert video for Mac. I just had home movies converted to a DVD format a realize now that I need another step to burn them to my computer.

I just had home movies converted to a DVD format a realize now that I need another step to burn them to my computer. This is for a Christmas present! Help.

I don't think you need to use a ripper program to read a home movie DVD. Those are primarily for copy-protected commercial DVDs, right?
I think you just need to transcode the DVD files using a utility like Handbrake, which is free and fast.

Convert Flash to dvd format

Hello.
Does any body know how to convert a flash movie into dvd-format?
Is there a program that can do it?
Thank you

Hi,
Once the .swf file's on the DVD, does it still have to be played on a computer?
Also, I've been trying to get my video clip to loop so there's no need to keep hitting play, as it's going to be used for display purposes... how's this done??
Thanks a bunch!!

Convert swf to dvd format

what is the most efficient way to convert swf to dvd
format? are there more than one way? I'm trying to avoid
degradation

I think they mean to convert flash content into a type of
file to use for dvd authoring/burning. "Efficient" is a relative
term when it comes to what you want to do. The best answer
sometimes depends on what is actually in your flash file. If it's
all vector, you have less to worry about when it comes to
generation loss. There are several "swf 2 avi" converters out
there. Flash itself lets you export to avi, but the quality has
never been good. I use GeoVid's Flash to Video Encoder
http://www.geovid.com/Flash_to_Video_Encoder_PRO/
and Flashants SWF2Video
http://www.flashants.com/root/index.shtml
Each performs relatively well. From that, you can use the exported
video and place into whatever dvd burning application you
have.

How to convert dvd format to HD AVI

How do I convert DVD format to HD AVI or HD MP4 from either iMovie or iDVD applications, please help, thank you

You need to convert them to mp4 or m4v. Handbrake is good for this. Mpegstreamclip and Format Factory(pc only) also work. they are all freeware. I'd recommend the handbrake since it also has presets for ipods and i think the ipad, and it has a queue feature....meaning if your dvd has several clips on it you can set it up to do all of them without starting each one individually.

Is it easy to convert films from dvd to ipad?

H, trying to convert films from DVD to watch on my ipad 2, is there an easy way of doing this? any help would be great, Thanks.

Sorry, but if you're referring to commercial and hence copy-protected video DVDs, breaking the copy protection, which would be necessary to copy the videos from the DVD and convert them, is illegal in the US (and other countries), so we're not allowed to discuss it here. Some DVDs and Blu-Ray movies come with a "digital copy" that allows you to download a copy of the movie for use on portable devices. You might see if any of the DVDs you have come with such a feature.
If these are home movies that you or someone has burned to DVD and hence are not copy-protected, Handbrake (freeware) is one of the more popular converters. Once converted, you just drag the movie into the iTunes window on your computer and you can then sync it to your iPad.
Regards.

Does anyone know a good converter from quicktime movies to dvd format?

Does anyone know a good converter from quicktime movies to dvd format?

I'm guessing that your using One Step DVD . This will only work with one movie at a time.
Create a new project and all you should have to do is drag your movies from your movie folder onto your iDVD project. You can add as many movies as you like but obviously you can't exceed the maximum total DVD size.
Encoding can take a long time depending on the original file format, but you should be able to use pretty much any file format you can play with Quicktime.

Costco's Film to DVD service

I recently learned of Costco's film to video transfer service and have a load of regular 8mm and Super 8mm material from my student filmmaker days that I would like to have digitized. I ultimately want to clean up the edits and sweeten the sound quality before burning to final versions via iDVD.
However, the hotline operator for the service advised that I would not be able to extract the file from the DVD to my Mac and that the software that they include on the disc that they provide is PC only.
I figure she must have just been quoting the company line on the file extraction question. Does anyone out there have experience with pulling these files off and working with them in iMovie '08?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I read of an app called MPEG Streamclip elsewhere in this forum. Would that do the trick for converting MPEG-2 to a format that will work with iMovie?
It is my application of preference. However, be advised that while the application is free, it requires the $20 QT MPEG-2 Playback component from Apple to bridge the MPEG engine with the QT structure embedded in the current Mac OS. It will allow you to convert to DV or AIC (high quality/large files), M-JPEG or Photo-JPEG (good quality with moderate file size) and MPEG-4 or H.264 (lower quality but smallest file sizes when video data rate is limited) compression formats -- all of which are iMovie '08 compatible. DV files are compatible with virtually all versions of iMovie and AIC is also compatible with iMovie HD without import conversion.
What format will I be changing it to?
As indicated above, MPEG Streamclip offers a number of options to suit both project needs and available storage space. Each option has its own strengths and weaknesses.

Severe pixellation PAL DVD format, Premier Elements 11

Hi I am facing severe pixellation problem on a moving object, when rendered in Elements 11. The source was Sony mini DV captured as AVI through Premier and then rendered as PAL DVD output. Strangely, this shows up when the disc is played on DVD player. Same problem when the MPEG file is played through windows media player or VLC player. Strangely if the clip is imported into Premier 11 then the pixellation disappears. Pls help. The video is uploaded at the following URL:
http://www.sandakphu.com/video/Traintest1.mpg and can be downloaded from following URL http://www.sandakphu.com/video. Pls look at the yellow vertical hendles on the moving train.

Dear Steve
Thanks for taking time to respond. Actually the pixellation is coming on the DVD being played thru TV as well. In some cases the picture is very choppy and severe. I repeated the capture using Windows Movimaker - and created a DVDin third party software, no problem there. Secondly, I converted the AVI file into MPEG HD 720 P and then created a DVD using a third party software - no issue tere either. The pixellation and choppy video is showing up specifically when I am writing into PAL DVD format from premier 11. I suspect there is a interlace setting somewhere that I am missing...

CONVERT from iTunes to other FORMATS (AAC, AIFF, MP3, WAV)

Came across a problem in trying to get music purchased from iTunes to be recognized by other media players (Quicktime or Final Cut Express). I found how to get iTunes to export to cd/dvd disks in AIFF format (and other formats).
Steps used:
From iTunes:
Create a new playlist folder in iTunes (under file)
Drop the songs you wished to use into the playlist folder
Go to the iTunes main menu,
select 'Preferences'
select 'Advanced'
select 'Import'
using "Import Using" select the format (AAC, AIFF, MP3, WAV) you desire
Input your CD/DVD disk to burn
highlight your Playlist file in iTunes that you want to convert
select 'File' in iTunes,
select "Burn Playlist to disc"
What you end up with is a CD/DVD with the music files in the format you selected -(I needed AIFF) from there you can use the disk or copy your converted files back into Final Cut or other software for use.
Hope this helps others having similar issues

Have you tried other formats, besides AIFF?
You can only burn purchased music to an
b Audio CD
and the Finder will tell you the files are AIFF. Actually the files on an Audio CD are PCM, but Mac OS 'sees' them as AIFF.
You can't convert purchased music in other formats, because it's protected.

What would be the best Adobe Product option for me if I only need it to be able to convert PDF documents to Excel Format?

Hello, I'm hoping to pick everyone's brain about which Adobe Acrobat Product / License I would need if the only Function I require is the ability to convert PDF documents to Excel format. This would not include Scanned documents.

Only you can decide what is a "best fit".
PDF content export to Excel can be performed by Acrobat XI or either of Adobe's online subscription services "ExportPDF" or "PDF Pack".
Be well...

How can I convert MiniDV tapes to DVD? I've use a Canon GL 2 and an iMac about 1 year old. I'm trying to use iMovie and I've installed the latest drivers.

How can I convert MiniDV tapes to DVD? I've use a Canon GL 2 and an iMac about 1 year old. I'm trying to use iMovie and I've installed the latest drivers.

MiniDV was a great format, one I still use often. I also still use iMovie HD6 to process it and, for all the iterations of iMovie that followed it, I still believe it was one of Apple's greatest movie software programmes, next to Final Cut Pro, using a timeline method of editing. That was also in the day which Apple put Superdrives into their computers, so that you could not only make your movie in iMovie, but you could render it to iDVD and then burn the DVD. Now you need to buy an external burner.
Since iMovie HD6 and iDVD 6 were "universal" software, it has continued to work through the many OS releases since it came out with Tiger, I believe it was. So, it may still work with Mavericks too and, if you could locate a copy of iLife 06, probably used, you might enjoy the difference that HD6 has over all iMovie releases since then.
Not saying you can't process your MiniDV with current iMovie versions, but I'm not the one to speak about that.

Film to DVD transfer

I am planning to transfer 16mm film to DVD by having the film scanned onto a hard disc and then transferring the file into iMovie. A sound track will then be added and the result burnt to a DVD.
My questions are:
1 What is the best hard disc file format for the highest quality result?
2 Is there a file size or time limit on the transfer of a file to iMovie?
Looking forward to some advice
John

Hi
Best - is a demanding question - I can only share what I would do
1. streamingDV (as with miniDV tape Cameras)
DVD-standard is limited in it self - There are no HD-DVD as to yet.
Blu-Ray are better but demands in programs and burner and disks and players !
2. The video - if an external hard disk is used
• External hard disk *HAS TO BE* - Mac OS Extended formatted !
• And Should be a FireWire one - USB/USB2 performs badly
3. iMovie'08 or 09 - are not the tools to use if result is aimed to be a new DVD
• They both discard every second line resulting in only half the resolution
Use
• iMovie up to version HD6 - or -
• FinalCut any version
Yours Bengt W
