Converting CDR file to MP4 file

Hi All
How do I convert CDR file to MPEG-4 movie file?
regards

Den
Thanks for your reply.
It seems I will have to convert from Video_TS file to MP4 file (as the option from CDR file to MP4 is not available on Handbrake). This is okay.
When converting to MP4 file on handbrake what are the choices I need to make?
Format: here I have chosen MP4
Codecs: Here I have chosen MPEG-4 Video / AAC Audio
Framerate: Same as source
Encoder: FFmpeg
Under Quality
Target Size (MB): Nothing is filled here
Average Bitrate kbps: 1500
Constant Quality: 50%
GrayScale Encoding: This is not ticked
2-pass encoding: This is ticked
Are these choices okay?
Thanks for your help

I created project in iMovie then exported it to MP4 and also MOV file at highest definition possible + I added it to iDVD and had a number issues about encoding errors regarding the mp4 file. MOV worked but the quality was terrible.....
MOV file is as follows:
4.08GB
Codecs: H.264, ACC
Colour Profile: HD (1-1-1)
Dimensions: 1920 x 1080
Duration: 12:33
Audio Channels: 2
MP4 File is as follows:
3.02GB
Codecs: H.264, ACC
Colour Profile: HD (1-1-1)
Dimensions: 1280 x 720
Duration: 12:33
Audio Channels: 6
I have a MacBook Pro using the Yosemite system upgrade.
I have updated iDVD and iMovie.
I even bought the iSkysoft app from the mac store and that was terrible too.
PLEASE HELP i am getting desperate and about to launch this macbook into the air
2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
Version 10.10. 2

First of all, Hunt--thanks for responding!
"First, where are you playing the MPEG-2, that you see that jitter?"
On both a MacBook Pro, an Acer laptop and my Mac Tower. I would love to think that it is a problem with the playback system, and that if I merely send the file off to the duplicator they won't have the same problem. Maybe that is the case...I don't know if I have a choice rather than sending it off to see. But it happens in the same spots, in the same way, on all three of the players so I'm a little reluctant to have faith.
"Another thing that can cause jitter in an MPEG-2 is the Bit-Rate - higher the Bit-Rate, the better the quality, but the larger the file. For a DVD, one is limited by the total Bit-Rate (both Audio & Video), but with longer prodcutions, some users choose too low a Bit-Rate. If this is the issue, one would need to go back to the original Project and do a new Export/Share."
Of course, but in the case there is no more 'original project.' It is gone like the wind, stolen along with his computer and backups.
I think I am stuck using one of two files as my master: a DVD he burned where I only see the stutter/vibration/jitter once, or the mpeg2 file where I see it three times. Hopefully, the duplication house can rip if off of one of them and not see the jitter. I know that in audio, my personal filed, you can do a lot to enhance already existing sound--EQ, compression, tape saturation emulation software, etc. I guess I'm hoping there is some kind of analog to the video world that address jitter after a source has been printed--if indeed the source has been printed to be jittery.
Thanks,
Doug

How do you convert a swf or mp4 file into flv using creative cloud programs?

I am trying to embed a video as HTML5 with Flash fallback into my Dreamwaver site and only have the swf file of the video.
Please let me know if you have any ideas about how to convert a swf or mp4 file into flv, without loosing pixels and quality of the swf file.
Thank you!

If you have MP4 video, you can use Pickle Player which has built-in Flash fallback for Mozilla. No conversions required .

Converted .avi file to .mp4 file but iTunes still does not accept video

I've just got my new Ipod Classic 160gb and I've tried putting my .avi files into my iTunes (V. 7.5) library, but I couldn't. Then I found out iTunes does not support .avi and went and converted a sample file into .mp4 file to try it out. It did not work as well. I have not found anyone with the same problem as of yet. Hope someone can help, because if I can't put any videos in, the 160gb huge space will be wasted and so will the money D:

Here is the Video Specifications for the iPod Classic:
Video
H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; H.264 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 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.
Find a video converter that will output the files to meet the specifications above, and all should work well. Unfortunately, I don't use .avi files, and have no need to convert any, so I don't have any resources for you however, this search might yield some results:

Loss of a/v sync upon convert to h.264 .mp4 file

Hey guys
This file is about 1hr:20min long- It's an interview shoot that I needed to send raw footage of for review by a friend, anyways when I export the .mp4 file it comes out out of sync
My source footage in pr Pro CS4 is HDV and everything is perfectly in sync when played from the timeline
(in timeline source footage is 1440x1080 HDV 48 khz and export is to 640x360 widescreen h.264 22.4 khz)
but when I export it and play back with Adobe Media player the .mp4 file slightly goes out of sync and after about 10- 15 minutes it's noticeable- by the 1 hour mark it's even worse
I always close down Pr Pro CS4 first, then open up AME CS4 to encode the video by importing the sequence
Has anyone ever had to deal with this issue
any solutions??
Thanks
Tony

Looks like I answered another one of my own questions
It seems that changing the export audio sample rate from 22khz to 24khz did the trick- I guess this should've been obvious being that the original audio is
48 khz and 24 being exactly half of that
A friend told me it could've been a drop frame issue (meaning maybe HDV and my export options drop frame didn't match maybe one was non drop frame and the other was drop frame)- something to keep in mind going forward, but was not the issue here.
Anyways
Hopefully info this will help someone in the future
Best

Mov file or mp4 file

I am creating a DVD and made some home movies (VHS) into .mov files. I was thinking that if I converted them into mp4 files, they would be a lot smaller. I converted one of them already and it seemed to degrade the quality a little.......I guess due to the compression ? The .mov files aren't super huge, but I was wondering if all four of them might not fit on the DVD. How much can I put on there?
I wanted to put each one on the DVD where you could click on the one you wanted to watch.
Just trying to get a little input and advice from people who have done this.
I used iDVD about a year ago for a small little project, but haven't done one this size before.
Thank you for any help.

Scott:
iDVD is concerned with total playing time, including menus, of the source material. You can get 120 minutes of playing time on a single layered DVD by using the Professional Quality or High Quality settings.
You can create 4 slideshows in iDVD by using the "+" button at the bottom and select Slideshow from the drop down menu. Then open each slideshow in turn and drag one of your movie files into it. This will let iDVD scale the movie to the TV Safe area like it does with slideshows from still photos. Be sure to set iDVD's slideshow preferences to always scale slides to TV safe area.
When you're ready to burn the project do a File->Save as Disk Image first. That will let you mount the disk image and play it with DVD Player to check the encoding (and typos-my biggest problem) before you commit it to disk. Once you're satisfied with the disk image you can burn it to disk with Disk Utility.
As long as the total playing time of the 4 movies is less than 120 minutes you're good to go.

Adobe Media Encoder CS4 freezes when trying to convert .m4v files to .mp4 files

I'm trying to convert some things I got on itunes in order to put them on my android phone. Media encoder freezes before I even start encoding though, any ideas? My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, if you need any more info I'd be happy to provide it.

I meant the File->Save option should not be gray if you "make a change" anywhere in the document. I only have access to an OSX Server remotely to illustrate this point so SimpleText should help you understand what I mean by a grayed out menu item:
The big red arrow.
You can get to the Save As dialog so clearly grayed out menu items wasn't the issue. Moving on..
Your screenshot buttons may be unresponsive but they also aren't "grayed out". Here's a Save dialog with a truely grayed out button:
Your button is not grayed out.
Accurately describing your issue here will help quite a bit. The "save crash" issue has been so rampant it's the first suggestion I had so I offered it. Often repairing the FLA fixed the saving mechanism.
In your case I honestly haven't come across your issue so I have no more suggestions outside reinstall Flash completely. Good luck.

USing Compressor I am encoding ProRes 422 to MP4 file

I am using Compressor (3.5)to create a MP4 file from a Final Cut Pro 7.0 three min sequence(H 264 Mov converted to ProRes 422) on a 3gb IMAC. When the file finally converts I play the MP4 file in QT and the sound is out of sequence with the video. When I convert to 800kps QT file sound is synched as well as on the timeline. Do I need to use some other type of player to view and hear the video in synch
Can some explain why that is happening

Instead of going to Compressor directly from FCP, try exporting a Quicktime movie from FCP, then take that file to Compressor. See if that helps.

How do I copy MP4 files onto my IPad while travelling?

Hello all
I picked up my first IPad through work last week, and am still familiarising myself with the device. What I did manage to do is connect it to ITunes on my home computer and copy all of our childrens TV shows onto the device for our daughter to watch, and it all went smoothly.
I have a question regarding this process however. I tend to watch a lot of TV shows, and in most cases I wait until after the season is finished and pick up the boxed set, so that I can watch it when I want, without commercials. What I then do is convert them to (unprotected) MP4 files that I then usually copy to my PS3 to watch them on our TV. Just as a test, I copied a few onto the IPad and they look great, I could easily see myself using this device to watch shows while travelling.
However, our IPad is only 16 gigs, and in longer trips I would probably want to take more shows than that would allow. I also have a 1 Terrabyte portable harddrive though, that I can fit ample amount of shows on.
At the moment I have only connected the IPad to one computer running ITunes, which is my PC at home. However lets assume I was travelling, and had both my external hard drive and IPad. What would be the best solution for copying movies from that external harddrive to the IPad to allow me to watch additional shows? Unless I'm mistaken, I can have up to 5 computers authorised with my account. Would it in theory be possible to find a PC, authorise it to my Ipad, copy the files over and then deauthorise that PC? Or if not, what is the recommended solution?
Apologies if this is common knowledge, I'm still a newbie.

Even though you can have your iTunes account authorized on 5 computers your iPad can only be linked to one computer. If you used another computer to copy your content from your external drive you would have to Restore the iPad with the computer erasing all other data. The process will allow you to backup then Restore to that back up but it will not contain any of the media files you wish to keep on the iPad. This is why it is important to get the most storage on an iOS device you can afford.
You might want to look at something like Kingston's Wi-Drive which is an external drive your iPad can access through wifi. http://www.kingston.com/us/usb/wireless#wid I don't think it has any integration with iTunes but you could put a copy of the videos you wish to take with you then play them on it it's app.

The video tab in ipod is locked- cannot load dvd (.mp4 files) files to ipod

I converted the dvd files to .mp4 files (Using cusoft).
The files were loaded in the itune (by using add files to library). I can play the dvd in the itune on my pc but cannot transfer the dvd files to the ipod because:
The dvd tab in the ipod is locked (white out). I can see the white out: [X] do not update video files .
Since the dvd tab is locked out I cannot transfer the dvd files to the ipod. I used the latest verson of itune and ipod programs.
Please reply directly to: [email protected]
Urgent help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Sahay,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You've posted in the iMac G3 forum - the users here, including myself, have little or no experience of using iTunes on Windoze. You'll be far better to repost your question in the iTunes for Windows forum.

Problem with reading mp4 files with QT 7.4.1 or mpeg Streamclip

Hi,
I used to convert some .flv files into .mp4 files with iSquint and then into .dv files with mpeg Streamclip in order to re-work and compile these files on a DVD using iMovie and iDVD.
However I cannot do it anymore since I upgraded to QT 7.4.1. iSquint uses the mpeg-4 video codec to convert the file. Therefore I cannot open them with QT 7.4.1 anymore and I cannot convert them into .dv files with mpeg Streamclip anymore since Streamclip is uses a QT plug-in.
I have tried to solve the problem using Perian but this plug-in does not work with my version of Mac (Panther 10.3.9). I also tried to downgrade to an older QT using Pacifist but it nearly crashed my whole computer (fortunately I could fix that by reinstalling QT 7.4.1).
Has someone a solution to my problem?
Thank you in advance.
Steve

Not all the following will apply to Panther (10.3.x) so look carefully on the sites mentioned for the correct versions:
These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, QT 7.3 or 7.4 and OS 10.4.11. (If you are running Leopard, ensure that all plug-ins have been updated for OS 10.5)
Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.9 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
Adobe FlashPlayer should first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2 and then the latest version obtained from here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash and installed.
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.)
In earlier versions than QT 7.1.3 in Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
You should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11 or Leopard, that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Update 2007-009.1.1, which also deals with the Quicktime/Flash issues you may have experienced, such as the '?'. What happened was that both Quicktime as well as Adobe FlashPlayer tried to play the Flash video at the same time. This no longer happens. (N.B. Security Update 2007-009 1.1 requires both a restart and a permission repair.)
If you get problems with viewing video on a website try moving this file to your Desktop:
Hard drive/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/QuickTime Plugin.webplugin
and then restarting Safari. If all now works, you can trash that file.
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

File error when importing .mp4 files

Hi there,
I have a problem concerning importing files.
I had some .mkv files, which I converted to .mp4 files with just 1 audio track and no subtitles using Handbrake.
Problem is, I can't import these files into Final Cut Pro 7.
It gives the following error:
"File error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown."
I have no problem importing .avi files, or .mp4 files that haven't been converted.
Does anyone know what I should do? I don't know any other program to convert .mkv files, so basically, I'm bound to using Handbrake.
Thanks in advance!!

I didn't know Handbrake was such a bad tool.
I never did much video-editing before, so I usually used iMovie, and the Handbrake-converted files worked fine with that.
And I did what you said, I converted the video to .mov with MPEG Streamclip, using the mentioned presets, but now I have another problem.
A 22 minute file, which was 360MB before converting, turned into a 6.2GB file after converting.
Since I use videoclips from a TV Serie, which has over 60 episodes, this is going to cost a lot of space. Is there any way to reduce the filesize without destroying the video quality, or is there any, ANY, way to make FCP accept .mp4 files?
I don't care if it slows down my Mac or anything, it's just that I know it's possible, with the 700MB file from one of my posts above.

Problem with transferring mp4 file to iPod Video

I used MediaFork to rip a DVD (that I own) to mp4. It looks great on my iMac and MacBook when running in QuickTime. I can import the file into iTunes.
I can play the file from within iTunes. However when I sync content to my iPod it does not show up!
When in QuickTime the following information is displayed in Movie Info.
Format: h.264 Decoder 640 x 480, Millions AAC, Stereo (L R), 44.100 khz
Data rate 1610.00 kbits/second
Every once in a while the Playing FPS changes to > 24 (like 24.10)
Is the data rate the problem??? Or what else could be the problem?
Help!
This is from the Video IPOD video specifications.
H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Low-Complexity 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

The data rate you mention (1610) is over the published spec (1500), so I would guess that is indeed a problem.
Also, in MediaFork, did you set the encoder to the option marked for iPod?
If not, that could be a problem. Output from the encoder labeled MAIN won't work on an iPod.
Settings I use succesfully –
File format: MP4 file
Codecs: AVC/H.264 Video / AAC Audio
Framerate: Same as source
Encoder: x264 (h.264 iPod)
2-pass encoding: yes
Quality: Average Bitrate 1250
Picture settings: 640 x XXX

The Slideshow mp4 file created in Lightroom does not play on an iPad

If I take a collection of images and create a sideshow in Lightroom 4 and export it as a mp4 file using the 720p preset and put it at a website, the file works fine with various Windows computers and android devices but does not play in an iPad. If I take that same mp4 file and run it through Adobe Premier Elements 12 to produce a new 720p mp4 file, that mp4 file plays fine in the iPad.
Anyone know the reason for this and how to create a 720p file that will play in the iPad in LIghtroom?

Don't know if this will help, but you might want to check your mp4 files against this :-

Error -2041: Invalid Sample Description on every MP4 file that I create.

OK, Apple already has a poor reputation in my book and this just adds to it, because I'm not the only one struggling with this problem. Numerous students in my classes have complained about the same thing. We are training on Adobe After Effects 7.0 and our instructor has requested that we post our files as MP4 files, so we have tried MP4 Standard, MP4 Improved, and the H.264 settings. Regardless of which setting we use we get the error:
Error -2041: an invalid sample description was found in the movie
Now why should the software that automatically makes itself the default player for MP4 files not be able to actually open them? We've all downloaded the most recent player.
Clearly, since I'm not the only one with the issue, there is a problem with the software that needs to be addressed. For now, I am changing the default player to something that can actually open and play the files without crying about it.

I had the same problem few days ago.
It appears that MP4 format is a lot restricted, and Quicktime/iTunes does not communicate a lot about that. Tipically, Quicktime does not think that MPeg 4 + MP3 is an acceptable MP4 compination.
To make them a lot more permissive, just try to rename the file extension to .m4v, it'll do the job in many cases, and worked for me on a lot of files.
Best regards
