Converting avi to mp4 for ipod??

how can i convert my avi clips from my digital camara to mp4 for my ipod

Drag the files into the open iTunes window and then convert them. Some AVI files cannot be played in iTunes and you may lose the sound upon conversion; if either happens, use Perian and MPEG Streamclip respectively.

Converting AVI to MP4 for FREE

Does anyone have a FREE program that can convert AVI (as well as other formats) to MP4, for my iPod Touch?

Hi,
look here http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/22923/perian
But if your signature is correct, it is of no use for you on a Windows PC, as it is Mac-only.
As for Windows (and/or Mac OSX as well) have a look at MPEG Streamclip http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-win.html

Converted .avi to .mp4 for Premiere Pro CS6 but receive a header error.. help?

When I imported .avi video file into Premiere Pro CS6, only the audio played. I used VLC to convert the .avi file to .mp4 through a batch file. Now when I try to open the .mp4 file into Premiere Pro CS6, I receive an error "File cannot be opened because of a header error".
I've tried converting the .avi file to .mov and .wav but they receive the same header error.
I've also tried opening in Audition and resaving it as .wav pc but it still won't import to Premiere.

First, depending on what is inside the AVI file, it should/might be "naturally" supported by Premiere

Cannot convert avi to mp4 to my Ipod Touch

Im running on Windows XP. And I use PSP Video 9 to convert my avfi files to mp4. Now I get them converted and then I import them to itunes. I sync it to ipod but it tells me Ipod could not put it on ipod or something like that. I've tried it with 3 different movies and it all does the same. This never happened before I bought the 2.0 upgrade. Can anyone help?

Try right clicking the item and select the "convert selection for ipod". Something like that. iTunes will convert the video to a format for iPods. This happened to me and I used the iTunes video encoding system to encode the videos to mp4. Try it and please report back results.

Converting .avi to .mp4: No audio

I am trying to convert an avi to mp4 so I can play it on my ipod. I only plan on doing this 1 file so it makes no sense for me to purchase Quicktime Pro or VisualHub, so my options are iSquint and MPEG Streamclip.
After trying within iSquint, the conversion works but the quality of the mp4 file is almost unwatchable.
I then tried it in MPEG Streamclip but this is where my problem begins. No matter what I do I can't get audio on any output file. The avi file plays normally in Quicktime and VLC, but I've noticed that in the player in Streamclip there is no audio.
Even exporting to other output files gives no relief either.
I've looked at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1616285&tstart=0 that addresses a similar problem but don't see anything to help my specific situation.
Some possible useful info:
~/Library/Quicktime contains -
AppleIntermediateCodec.component
AppleMPEG2Codec.component
DivXDecoder.component
DivXEncoder.component
Flip4Mac WMV Advanced.component
Flip4Mac WMV Export.component
Flip4Mac WMV Import.component
(note the first 3 file have a white lego block as their icon, the second 3 have a white page as their icon.)
When playing the file in Quicktime the Quicktime Movie Inspector gives this info:
NMP1.avi
DivX
Format: DivX 6.0, 608 x 246, Unknown MPEG Layer 3, Stereo, 44.100 kHz
FPS: 23.98
Data Rate: 708.03 kbits/s
Normal Size: 608 x 246 pixels
Current Size: 608 x 246 (Actual)
While the file is in the MPEG Streamclip player the Stream Info displays
Bit Rate: 0.75 Mbps
Video Tracks:
DivX 5.0, 608 × 246, 23.976 fps, 634 kbps
Audio Tracks:
MPEG Layer-3 Audio stereo, 44.1 kHz, 112 kbps
Stream Files:
NMP1.avi (790.21 MB)
Does anyone know what is causing this problem and/ or know how to fix it?
Running 10.5.4 on Macbook 2.16GHz C2D 2GB
Quicktime Player v7.5
MPEG Streamclip v1.9.1
VLC v0.8.6i
thanks, b.
(ps I didn't know which section to put this thread under so went with Quicktime as a safe bet.)

Thanks for replying guys.
I tried what you suggested Ricktoronto on a small test file and it worked!
You've made my day, been trying for a couple of days to get this to work.
Is it ok to delete those DivX files from my mac now? I have the DivX player still installed, that won't crash if I delete those files, will it?
Many thanks, much appreciated.

Converting AVI to MP4

I have a number of older AVI files that I'm trying to convert over to MP4 so that I can not only play them on my computer, but on my HD TV as well. They are older, like I said and not in HD, but having the ability to show off my videos on the big screen
I pulled them into Premier (using the school computer after class) and queued them to convert to MP4 using H264 and 720p. Now the original files were NOT HD, and I know that the quality won't get any better during the process, but I figured that this would have less quality loss during the conversion.
The files converted in about 15 min each, and I took them home to check. Seems to play fine from my flash drive right from the TV. Cool! Trouble is, when I watched them on my computer screen all the way through to check the quality, I noticed problems. During some scenes, mostly during pans, the images smeared (the best description I can think of). It's not huge, but since it's not there on the original, I can't imagine what would cause it, unless it's the decode/encode process.
I'm going to test it with MPEG2 / HDTV 720P 24 High Quality next, but I wanted to get a feel on what would be the best option for this type of conversion. I don't really know if my TV will play the MPEG file types since I've lost the book for it. :/
As I said, they are older files and certainly not HD so I know that the quality won't improve, and I know that some degredation will occur, but I'd like to keep it to a minimum.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.
Eric the Grey

According to Premiere, the original was not ntsc (512x384 (1.0) 23.97fps, Progressive) The original files were pulled from the camcorder (an older type that used big clunky video tapes, old for it's time even in 2003) by a friend since my computer at the time was not able to do so for some reason. He also encoded them the way they are now.
As to DVD, I actually did that a few years after getting the originals encoded, but a recent viewing of them showed that they degraded and some of them no longer play. The disks act like they are scratched but the disks themselves are in perfect condition. I've thought about getting a blu-ray burner and disks and putting them all on there, but that will have to wait until after the holidays at the earliest...
Anyway, I'll give the SD Youtube preset a try tonight and let you know how that works out. I'm not terribly interested in changing the aspect to widescreen. I can deal with the black borders. Once I've got the formatting figured out, I've got some more, even older videos to convert. These came from some very old 8mm film of my fathers.
Thanks again for the suggestions.

Converting an MPG video for ipod.. please HELP

Hello... i'm sorry about my bad english...
I tried many times converting videos for ipod, it allways convert them and than they become without the sound... someone can help me with that?
Thanks
Leo

Quicktime or Quicktime Pro (which iTunes uses) 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.
See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

How to convert mp3 CD audiobook for ipod?

I use Audiobook Builder to convert Auciobook CDs to an ipod-compatible bookmarkable format, and the program handles all of the steps transparently. in iTune 10, how can I make this same conversion from an mp3 audiobook CD into iTunes? I tried following the instructions for this from an earlier post on this discussion group, but have run into a problem. When I select all of the MPEG audiofiles from the mp3 CD and instruct iTunes via the Advanced Menu to "Create AAC Version", iTunes says that it is converting the files track by track. BUT, when it is done, I still have only MPEG audio files showing, no AAC converted files. Thanks for any suggesions.

Thank you for your posting, which is very helpful, however it will be better if you can post on the Video forum as well

How to convert ALAC to 256kbps for ipod when syncing?

I have a large library of apple ALAC files ripped from CD into itunes and I want to have an easy way of converting to a lessor quality version for syncing with the ipod. The problem i don't want duplicates and I want higher than 128 so the check box (convert to 128 on sync) will not be good enough. I want around, say 256kbs for better quality on the ipod. How do I do this without having to maintain two sets of files or libraries? Is there any tool that can do this?
Thanks
Alan

The "sync-on-the-fly" option for iPod syncing currently only works at 128 kb/s.

QuickTime Pro or MPEG Streamclip can convert them. Some AVIs require that Perian be installed, while others can't be converted in Mac OS X through any means; AVI is a container, not a format.
