Converting Home Video

I was just wondering if there is a way to convert home video. I have a bunch of AVI home video files and are wondering if i could convert them to work on my 5g ipod.

I f you check the link it will tell you exactly how to do it.
Videora is just one of 2 pieces of software you do need to transfer AVI to the ipod.
1st you import the avi or other file from a dvd disk into dvd decrypter then you transcode the file with Videora then its ready to go to the pod.
Again here is the link which has a step by step guide, I did a search on google for the dvd decypter and downloaded it from the third on the list.

have fun. its not rocket science.

  • Converting home video using iTunes

    I have a new iPod with video 3rd generation. Everything works great with all video I purchase through iTunes (I'm using the latest version for XP). However, when I try to convert a home video file (in the correct format) to play on the iPod, only the audio plays... the video portion is white. For example, I take a video clip (.avi format) and convert to .mpeg4 or .mov or other acceptable video format and import it into iTunes. The video plays back great in iTunes. I then 'convert' so I can install on the iPod, and the video turns white and only the sound comes through. Any thoughts? Thanks.

    No offence taken!!! As you sent your response I finally got success! I am not sure what the problem was.... I seemed to have a dll clash, but not sure if that caused any issues. Anyway, re-downloaded and installed and all seems to be fine now. Thanks so much for your help and perseverance! I shall now continue to convert my videos.

  • Converted home videos to itunes not working with ipod touch

    So I finally was able to convert some home movies to itunes but now they will not work with my ipod touch. I get a error message saying "can not be played on this ipod". I also can't get the movies to work with my ipod video (classic) either, how do I fix this? And yes there is enough space for the videos.

    if the files are in iTunes, select one (or all) and choose +create iPod or iPhone version+ from the advanced menu. try syncing the newly created file(s) to your Touch.
    what happens ?

  • I had all my old home video's and super 8 movies converted to DVD's. Since I will move back to Europe I asked the company to convert them to PAl system.

    I had all my old home video's and super 8 movies converted to DVD's. Since I will move back to Europe I asked the company to convert them to PAl system. I just got all the DVD's for a lot of money, but I can not play any of them on my MAC book.(I think that is because they were burned on zone 1 dvd's and my lap top works with zone 2.
    I wonder how I can make them work on my macbook..? I intended to start editing those movies so I need to be able to play them on my mac. Is there a way to copy them to zone 2 DVD's and or to zone 0 dvd's and where do I get those free zone or zone 1 recordable dvd's?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The Apple TV 2 will play all the content in your iTunes library that your Apple TV 1 does. It can no longer sync any of it but can stream it all just as the older model did. Airplay is a different feature that lets you stream from an iPad/iPhone, the Apple TV 2 has Airplay the first didn't.
    You can still sort and search content by genre, it still marks content watched and unwatched and mainly still lets you organise much as the Apple TV 1 did, with one exception. It doesn't do nested folders, so the ability to tag a movie as a show (ie James Bond) and have all the associated movies in a James bond folder has gone and it lists all these movies individually.
    It has a similar situation with TV shows. It will put all TV shows in a series in a folder as the older one did, but the new one lists each series separately whereas the older model would put all the series in one folder.
    Not nesting folders is a bit of a pain with large libraries and whilst I don't like it, it's more or less the only compromise I have to make and of course I get additional features too.

  • Video converting and burning home videos

    Do anyone know the best program to convert my sonyhandycam video files and then what software I should use to burn these home videos onto a DVD? Sony's software is not compatible with Mac and iMovie won't recognize them! iDVD is not on my Mac (just purchased a few weeks ago)!!

    The current Apple thinking is that the entire world has access to fast broadband and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that nothing could be further from the truth has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. That worked for some, but is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple. Also, you can complain bitterly here, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between using iCloud and burning DVDs:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion or will come with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD.
    However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD.

  • Copying Home video DVD, converting PAL to NTSC

    I have a home video DVD in PAL format that I would like to convert to NTSC. I have tried to look up the settings in Disk Utility but that was no help.
    Can this be done through iMovie? I don't have FCP so I understand I'm at a big disadvantage here. Any help?

  • Converting dvds and home videos

    Is there a way to convert dvd's recorded on the comp and also home videos to mp4? if so how i would like to watch them on the ipod

    Pocket DVD Wizard is doing a good job for me with DVDs, and it also converts other types of video files. Was ~$30. Very easy to use wizard system. Most all the others I tried were very cumbersome, two-step processes.

    Since I am impatient and can't wait for 90 minutes for an answer, I have decided to lose everything on my iPod and try to remember all the songs I had on them. But if anyone can help me prevent this in the future, that woud be great!

  • How can I organize home videos and photos in ipad

    I don't have a mac or pc, just the new ipad.  I'm planning to buy a camera card reader adapter so I can load my photos and videos directly from my camera card to my ipad.  But then how do I organize my home videos and photos in my ipad into albums? 
    I saw the photo folder app does essentially what I want but does it treat videos the same as photos?  I didn't see anything about it being able to organize videos.

    See the follwoing and the links in the following:
    iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos
    Yuo will likely need a computer app to convert the format to one compatible with the iPad. I use the Free HandBrake app. It has an iPad preset.

  • How do I get home video clips from iMovie Mac to iMovie iPad?  Surely there is some degree of cross-compatibility?  I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move.  Any ideas?

    How do I get home video clips from iMovie Mac to iMovie iPad?  Surely there is some degree of cross-compatibility?  I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move.  Any ideas?  (The clips are in a .mov format, they have been imported / converted into this format in iMovie, original files were from a JVC camcorder in some other strange format.)

    I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places.  I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file.  There must be something else that's missing.  My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive.  If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
    My back-up drive is a mess.  I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={  Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period.  I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive.  Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me).  As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!" 

  • How can I watch home videos on Apple TV without using home streaming?

    I have an ATV3 and want to watch a few home videos using it. I have successfully converted the files to .mp4 format using videora apple tv converter. The problem I have is that these videos do not show up on my apple tv unless I use home sharing with my laptop. Is there a way to add these videos to my apple tv library without having to use home sharing? I have my files on a laptop and the computer is not always on or awake, and I find it really inconvenient to have to get my lazy butt off the couch when wanting to watch my home videos just to go and turn on my computer. I know that I can set the computer to wake when the network is trying to use it, but that would mean I would always have to have my power adapter connected to my laptop and I really do not want to do this because it will kill the battery. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • How can I convert DVD- video into Apple's format so that it can be played and streamed from my Mac?

    How can I convert DVD- video into Apple's format so that I can play the content on my Mac and also stream it to my Apple TV? A few years ago, I transferred all of my home videos onto DVD but now would really like to put these onto my Mac and stream them through Apple TV to watch on the "big screen". Any advice would be most welcome!! Thanks

    MPEG Streamclip.
    Apple do not have their "own" format. You need to convert your DVDs to H.264 though.

  • Best practice for viewing short home videos on AppleTV?

    Please help me find a simple way to view short home videos taken on a digital video camera, photo camera or cell phone on my Apple TV.
    I've been using AppleTV to showcase my photos for a couple months now, but all the short little videos I take along the way have been gathering dust in a general folder. None of them are significant enough to warrant building a full on iMovie, and all are in Nikon's AVI format. To date I have about 300 of them, hoping that one day they won't just gather dust.
    As I understand it these are the recommended steps that Apple encourages:
    1) Import movies from camera onto hard disk (Aperture prompts me to do this when I import photos)
    2) Import all movies into iMovie
    3) Export for AppleTV (creating new projects for each video, individually!)
    4) Import into iTunes
    5) Sync with AppleTV
    This is awful. For comparison, here is my current workflow for photos to get them to show on AppleTV...
    1) Import photos into Aperture.
    Assuming iTunes is already running (and it mostly is), there's not even a step two. iTunes is set up to sync a "Recent Import" smart album from Aperture to AppleTV so everything else is behind the scenes. A few seconds after importing I'm viewing new photos on my AppleTV.
    Since AppleTV is actually built for video, I'm hoping for a revised workflow that can showcase my movies as quickly as it does photos.
    I'm currently not running a hacked version of the AppleTV OS, but would consider it if it simplifies the process. Automator workflows, Finder Folder Actions, and AppleScripts are also fair game.

    Thanks pvonk. I get that video is more complex than photos, but Apple still wrote its photo applications to accept all sorts of photo file types (even the many proprietary RAW formats). So I don't think it's crazy to question why this workflow isn't easier for video. Especially when Apple is the biggest champion of integrated video solutions.
    Right now, here's my best guess at a workable solution. Care to weigh in?
    Setup:
    1) Attach a folder action to a folder (let's say ~/Movies/Imported/)
    2) Folder-Action runs shell script that converts videos to mp4 via HandBrake's command line tool
    3) Shell script triggers another folder action upon HandBrake completion to pushes the completed file to a new folder (let's say ~/Movies/Converted/)
    4) "Converted" folder action to import to iTunes (perhaps Applescript? Automator?)
    ~ if one could automatically add a meta tag (let's say "AppleTV") they could be added to a smart album on iTunes that is set up to sync with AppleTV
    *Workflow after Setup:*
    1) Import all movies to a folder (~/Movies/Imported/)
    Does this sound about right? My shell scripting skills are less than adequate for this, so if there is a way to accomplish this with AppleScript, that'd be ideal.
    Any other suggestions to simplify the workflow? The setup here still seems overly complex for a normal user. I can't imagine the folks at Apple really excited about the hurdles involved in this either, so I hope that they're working out a solution already.

  • How come, when I upload a home video from iMovie to YouTube, the uploaded video is not iPad/iPhone supported?????

    I connected a couple of home video clips from my iPhone in iMovie and then uploaded it to YouTube so that I could share the link with family. When the upload is complete, the video says that it is no in iPhone format and cannot be viewed? Whats up with that crap? Is there something I can do about it?

    You tube converts the video to multiple formats when you upload.
    Sometimes it takes a while for the video to be viewable.
    And sometimes you tube converts to other formats before it makes ios versions.
    Just wait a few hours and try again.
    It will become viewable in time.
    If it does not then you would be better to contact google.
    You tube is theirs, and issues need to be told to them.
