Converting a movie

I have a video I just recently downloading on Divx movie player. I also use DVD Video Soft as a converter. But when I try and convert the movie, it will finish but wont play as a mp4, and an error message appears. Need help

I'm assuming this is a legally downloaded video, but I would suggest using [Videora iPod Classic Video Converter|http://www.videora.com]. I use it to convert home movies and movies I make myself for my iPod and those of my friends and family. Videora can also convert for other models of iPod as well.

How can i convert 3d movie into 2d to watch it in mac

i have a movie with mkv file playable on vlc how can i convert the movie into 2d

There are now a bunch of them out there. Do a Google search for "mac 3D conversion" They tend to be around $35. I have been using iSkysoft products, which have been fairly easy to use. They have a "iMedia Converter Deluxe for Mac" that besides the 3D to 2D conversion, will also convert video to 70+ formats, has a 1-Click Video Downloader, and a single click Rip DVD and Burn to DVDs feature. Also claims to be "Ultrafast" all for the same price others apps are that only do the conversion.

Media encoder inserts black frame at beginning, when converting my MOV file to H264 for YouTube 720pHD

I'm using Adobe Media Encoder to convert my MOV file to H264, and selecting "YouTube 720pHD" (for Instagram) as I was instructed by someone at Adobe over the phone. But it inserts a black frame at the beginning or end. When I open the converted file on my desktop, the black frame is the first frame. After I upload to Instagram, the black frame is at the end. How can I get rid of the black frame?! Please help!

Welcome to the furum, Forrest.
Hmmm. I don't recall hearing of that problem. There may not be many users who can offer a solution.
This workaround should work, however: Open the exported movie in QuickTime Player and remove the first frame. (I think it's only the first frame that is black, not the first second. Remove all the black, whatever it is.) Save the movie. That may cause QT Player to save it into a new movie. Use the modified movie for your Web site. QuickTime Pro is required — $30 from Apple.
Note that you've posted in the iMovie 6 forum, not the iMovie HD forum for iMovie 5. There are fewer current iMovie 5 users here. Most were iM5 users, however, so someone might remember this problem.

Haven't really used any of them including VLC - actually use netflix on the ipad more than anything. I was able to drop an mp4 into imovie on my ipad and see it there. This was something I had shot as avhcd and converted with turbo.264. Played fine. Probably not what you want for a movie player though.
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.)

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.

Can't get the Videora iPod Converter to convert the movies!

When I go to convert the movie they ask me to put the file in so i go to browse and then the movie and click Video TS and a crap load of more files come up. On other programs I have used just accept the Video TS but they were only trials.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Videora is horrible buggy software that should be avoided.
If you insist on using it-I beleive you need another program to convert DVD's or files it thinks are DVD's.
On a mac-handbrake(now media fork)is all you would need. It's free and works perfectly( at least for me).
For windows-there are 2 recommended pay for programs I have heard of, DVD shrink and DVDfab(does conversion if you buy platinum version).
Good luck.

Can anyone recommend a programme to convert a .mov file using windows 7 to iPad 2 please?

Can anyone recommend a programme to convert a .mov file using windows 7 to iPad 2 please?

I think handbrake is easier for novices.
Mpegstreamclip is good software with a lot of great features but may be more than most people need.

I converted the movie, but no sound

I converted the movie, but no sound
the movie was converted from mpg. to m4v.
any reason?
btw, to convert 3 minutes of video takes like 30 minutes!

I have started using HandBreak to convert my DVDs.
I am currently using the Linux command line version and wrote a script to mass convert all my DVDs and its doing a really good job and taking about 1/2-3/4 hour to convert 1 DVD.
There are windows and mac versions of the program too.

Is is possible to convert the movies purchased on itunes to DVD?

Is is possible to convert the movies purchased on itunes to DVD? (In other words you would be burning the movie or tv shows to a blank DVD).

You can store just what you want on the external. Just set up folders for what you want. I have a music folder, movies and TV shows, and pictures folders. I also have mine partitioned for OSX and Windows. I have a few files I need if I am running on windows so I keep them on the windows side. I always keep a back up of my documents and a few other files it is a pain to download on the external.
You can also copy every folder and file on your machine to the external if it is big enough. This is a true copy not a back up file generated by a back up program. I like to do this if I get adventuresome and plan to do some major experimenting with my software. Saves having to reload everything if it crashes.

Convert a movie clip back to the main timeline? Help!

I hope you guys can help me with this because this is a work project. Here's the situation:
The entire .fla animation consists of nothing but two really long movie clips. Which are placed on frames 1 and 2 of the main timeline. Now for reasons that are too deep for me to go into explaination about my boss is telling me that I have to have everything main timeline -no movie clips. I've tried copypasting all of the frames but they all paste wayyy to large on the main timeline and they wind up in different places on the stage.
How can I move all of the frames from my two movie clips onto the main timeline without everything breaking? Better yet - is there any way to just convert a movie clip into an .fla?

you're on the right track. note the x,y of your movieclip in frame 1. create a new layer and paste all the frame 1 movieclip's frames into that new layer. click the edit multiple frames icon below your timeline. select all the frames, click an on-stage object. in the properties panel, change the x,y of the all the selected objects to the previously noted values

I was able to do it a while ago using Adobe Premeir and Windows Movie Maker (WMM) but Premeir would always change the dimensions of the video waay too large and when I resized it in WMM quality was lost and it was either too small or too large, I couldn't keep the same dimensions of the original film.
Any help is appreciated.

The latest version (v2.1) is supposed to have universal binary support...
I hope it helps!

Just upgraded to MacBook Pro running 10.8.4. Want to convert old movie files to put in Itunes. Can't upgrade QT player preinstalled, so downloaded QT Player 7 and purchased QTPlayer 7 Pro registration code. Can not get it to upgrade. Called Apple 2x.

Want to convert old movie files to put in Itunes.
What does "old movies" mean to you? File type, audio and/or video compression format(s)?
Can't upgrade QT player preinstalled, so downloaded QT Player 7 and purchased QTPlayer 7 Pro registration code. Can not get it to upgrade.
Did you follow the instructions found here?
If you have a fix, you can email me direct at [email protected]
To which fix do you refer? Activatng QT 7 Pro or converting the files? Even with QT 7 Pro activated you may need to modify your QT codec component configuration depending on the file type and compression formats used to encode your "old movies." There may be many different problems here with each having one or more "fixes." Please try to be more specific regarding your questions. Converting a muxed VOB MPEG2/AC3 file would be very different different from converting an AVI DivX5/MP3 file depending on which application you are attempting to use.

Any way to convert HD mov clip taken from iphone4?

HD clips taken from iPhone4 is taking quite a lot of space in my computer.
Is there any program out there good for converting these mov clips to smaller size but SAME resolution movie? Maybe to other video format? Like those full bluray videos get converted to smaller size e.g. 4GB 720p video?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH..

I use QuickTime Player 7 (Pro) for all these re-encoding tasks.
QuickTime Player X is sometimes not yet up to doing this.
You can have both versions on the same Mac.
Cannot give you advice if you are on Windows, Linux, etc...

Why can't I import mpg files to convert to .mov files?

why can't I import mpg files to convert to .mov files?

You'll need to clarify your question. MPEG-1 or MPEG-2?
QuickTime Player X or QuickTime Player Pro 7.6.6?
