Convert to MPEG 1 or MP4

Hi Can you convert the imovie to MPEG or MP4? I wish to download onto a Digital photo frame for my parents anniversary

Yes. The defaults will save to MP4 (h.264). They will have an m4v extension. Just SHARE/MOVIE/LARGE, Medium or Small.
Or SHARE/iTunes
or Share/to Media Browser
If your picture frame will not accept M4V, the simplest thing to try would be to simply rename the m4v extension to mp4. (e.g. birthday.m4v becomes birthday.mp4). Make a copy of the file first for safety.
If you want more control over the parameters SHARE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME/MP4/and set the other parameters. This will save it to an MP4 extension.

    Great hearing for you all! I thought I was all alone this past weekend. I did learn a lot this weekend. I really like the InDesign product.(half-the-battle) But to be helped by the prestigious “Sandee Cohen” was an honor indeed.”  I ordered the InDesign CC today.  Peter, I appreciate all the feedback on Lynda too. They are loaded with lots of good videos. Derek too honed in on one of the most important aspects!  Since I have been working with Word for most of the first portion of the book this will be a big help. I looked at the comments big help ! Thanks a ton ALL!  Have a wonder day or evening whenever you read this reply.

  • PLEASE HELP: movies converted to Mpeg-4 files won't sync to ipod

    hi,
    i created some movies in avi format, used quicktime to convert to mpeg-4 files, pulled them into itunes and they play fine. however, when i try to sync/transfer them to my ipod, it won't let me. i have taken all symbols except for alpha/numerical out of the file names, and it makes no difference. ANY help would be appreciated.
    thanks...

    Just because they are in mp4 format does not mean they are iPod compatible.
    Files must conform to these standards:
    H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; H.264 video, up to 768 Kbps, 320 by 240 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats

  • IPod Classic 160GB film library sync problem -  trying to sync films that have converted from purchased DVD to mp4 format locally, not purchases from the online store - all other libraries sync perfect - why?

    Hello Apple and the iTunes Windows PC users community.
    I am trying to sync films that I have converted from purchased DVD to mp4 format locally, not purchases from the online store. The mp4s all appear and play successfully in my iTunes application but will not sync across to the iPod film library folder.
    For your information: I am using iTunes 11.1.3.8 on a Windows 7 64bit machine with 500GB hard disk and 8GB of Ram in the UK.
    I have restored the iPod classic 160GB three times now to see if it was a hardware problem with no joy. Each time all the music restores properly as do the podcasts and all the items in TV programmes all appear to sync and work fine.
    I have also tried to copy films into the TV Programmes to get around it with no joy. They always go to the films section to start with. It is just the Films library that does not sync - all others work perfectly. As a last resort I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes with no joy either.
    I am technically savvy and have gone through the itunes and ipod settings but nothing appears to make a difference - This is the first time I have had to post here as I can usually solve the majority of the ipod anomilies but this one has me flummoxed.
    Has the film encoding type changed in the newest itunes update? - Has this happened to anybody else and is it a hardware, software, or operating system problem.

    Having uninstalled the current version 11.1.3.8 and loaded and older version of iTunes 10.7.0.21 I can now categorically confirm that the newest update seems to be causing the problem as the films and TV Programmes are syncing perfectly on this older version.
    If you are going to do this please dont forget to remove the  ' iTunes Library.itl' file as this stops the older versions from running as I've just found out

  • Converting muxed mpeg 2

    Which 3rd party utility should I use to convert muxed mpeg 2 (from sony hd camcorder) to format compatible with imovie?
    Thanks - new macbook pro owner.......having difficulties!

    For most Sony HD camcorders, you should be able to import the MPEG2 directly into iMovie.
    For example [see this link|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1793]
    However, if you wish to convert manually, there is a free third party app called MPEG Streamclip that will convert. I recommend converting to Apple Intermediate Codec in the same dimensions.
    You may also need the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component, which os $20 online from Apple.
    MPEG Streamclip will tell you if you need this.

    I have Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, but never used it.
    I am looking for a easy to understand information how to do it step by step.
    Maybe there are already how tos for this?

    NTSC: 720 x 480, 29 fps
    Thank you very much.

    Oh, you need to learn the program first before you can export anything...
    Get yourself a month of Lynda.com subscription and learn CS3.
    Watch the Online Video Course Premiere Pro CS3 Essential Training
    Adobe TV had a course for CS3 but they dropped that.

  • Converting avi, mpeg, and wmv video

    Does anyone know if there is free software available and if so, where would I download from, that would enable me to convert avi, mpeg or wmv files so that I may view video on my imac? Quicktime and Realplayer fail to convert these files.
    Thank You.

  • Lossless audio for MPEG-2 and MP4

    When I export a video out to either MPEG-2 or MP4 (H.264) I am not able to select an option for lossless audio. Is there a way to add that option?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    How do you plan to use the file?  Which lossless codec do you wish to use?  Is lossless audio appropriate for how the file will be distributed?  Are you looking for best quality or is there a different, specific reason that you wish to use lossless encoding?  (Also, what version of Adobe Media Encoder are you using?)
    The list of available codecs for the MPEG formats can change depending on the Multiplexing setting you choose.  However, make sure that the multiplexing setting you choose is appropriate to how you intend to distribute the file.  For example, 3GPP multiplexing creates a file optimized for delivery to mobile devices.  And note that the None multiplexing option creates separate audio and video files.
    Adobe Media Encoder only offers multiplexed AAC encoding for MPEG4 and H.264 files.  Although not lossless, the quality of AAC can be very high and is the general standard for the MPEG4 container format.  Lossless encoding is not common for the MPEG4 container format, though it is legal per the MPEG4 Part 14 specifications.  Again, you should match your export settings to the intended use of the video file.

  • Mpeg converted to MPEG-4 Has no sound

    The original has sound and the converted dosent. Took 1 day to convert all the movies

    What software was used to convert the files. Not QuickTime or ITunes (Which also uses Quicktime) I hope?

  • Converting to MPEG-4 Files

    I am a novice with iMovie. Awhile back, I purchased a digital camcorder (JVC Everio with hard disk drive 20GB) with the idea of creating iMovies. My camera allows me to directly download movie files (by UBS; no firewire option) only as Capty MPEG (MPEG-2 Format) which I then must convert to MPEG 4 files to edit with iMovie. What software is recommended for this conversion? (Apologies if this has been answered before.)

    Search this discussion group for mention of "MPEG Streamclip". That free application, combined with the Quicktime MPEG-2 plugin (US $19), is probably the most popular choice for converting such clips into DV format for editing with iMovie '06. VisualHub ($23 I believe), DVDxDV also work.
    Some JVCs also come with a Quicktime plugin that lets you do editing in iMovie directly.

  • I want to convert the MPEG-4 Audio (.m4a) to a window media audio file

    i want to convert the MPEG-4 Audio (.m4a) to a window media audio file,  i downloaded some songs so i can run them with a photo slide show on my samsung video.  the machine would not play them (could not find them)  the files that work are all windows media audio

    You can't convert to WMA with iTunes. I'd be surprised if the software can't read mp3 files. iTunes can convert to that. Otherwise there are free format converters out on the web. The suite from http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/ is handy and includes an audio convertor. There is no need to install their toolbar or any other 3rd party software that gets offered.

  • Convert to Mpeg the differences

    Hi all,
    Just a quick question.
    I have been asked to convert some short 30 second clips to be used in a Power Point Presentation.
    The client has asked for them as .mpeg I have only see .mpeg4 as format that I can convert to. Is this the same as .mpeg? And if is not then how would I convert to .mpeg?
    Thanks,
    Jamie

    Your client needs to be more specific.
    My simple MPEG descriptions:
    MPEG 1 is lousy quality so I would not be surprised if PowerPoint accepts this format.
    MPEG 2 is used as an "inbetween" stage of DVD authoring.
    MPEG 3 is the audio format .mp3
    MPEG 4 is reasonably good quality, considering the data size.

  • Can Quicktime Pro convert .mkv video formats to mp4 video formats

    I purchased Quicktime Pro believing it could convert .mkv video formats to MP4 video formats, however, the resulting output file is just a 60kb file from an original 971,936 kb file.
    I registered the key as given to me in the purchase receipt email, I used Export to MRP, I selected the input .mkv file. All seemed to be OK until it ended creating the short 60kb file.
    Suggestions please.

    I purchased Quicktime Pro believing it could convert .mkv video formats to MP4 video formats, however, the resulting output file is just a 60kb file from an original 971,936 kb file.
    As indicated on the Apple web site, keying the QT Player for "Pro" use merely unlocks editing and conversion features built into the app but not available without the key. It does not add any new file type or codec support beyond that for which the QT Player is already configured on your platform.
    I registered the key as given to me in the purchase receipt email, I used Export to MRP, I selected the input .mkv file. All seemed to be OK until it ended creating the short 60kb file.
    An MKV file will convert only if you have support for both the MKV file container (which is not natively QT compatible) and codecs to handle the specific codecs contained in the MKV file container if available for QT use.
    Suggestions please.
    I do not normally use MKV files on a daily basis and so, on those occasions when I do need to use them as a source for conversions to mobile devices, I use the free HandBrake application. As I see it, you can either try to add the missing support needed to use QT 7 Pro or you could download HandBrake for iTunes managed/mobile device files or use FFmpeg (on which HandBrake is based) for more general target conversions. As a non-PC user, I am assuming here that the Windows versions of both the HandBrake and FFmpeg apps have the same features as are available in the Mac versions of these apps.
