Converting Itunes MV4 video to AVI

I am tying to convert video I downloaded from Itunes to use on Imovie. I don't want to do anything illegal, I just want to be able to burn to a disc to watch on my tv.
Is it possible to covert Itunes/MV4 to a format to use in Imovie?
Thanks!

If you bought the file (or downloaded a "freebie") then they can't be converted to other formats.

  • Convert a M4V video into AVI (for free)

    Hi. I'd like to convert a M4V video into AVI (for free). Do you have any suggestions ? Thanks

    DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANYTHING! Here's what you do. Open the AVI file with QuickTime Player. Then go to SAVE AS. Then, name your file and be sure to save it as MOVIE. I did iPhone since I don't think it matters. It will automatically save as an M4V file! Yay!

    At first I though he was talking about the ancient audio .mod files:
    "The first version of the format was created by Karsten Obarski for use in the Soundtracker tracker released for the Amiga computer in 1987".

  • TS1409 How do I mass convert all my videos in iTunes From FLV to MP4?!!

    My problem is a simple one that YOU will, sooner or later, face---else you already faced it.  It is the DREADED mixed media from You Tube.       HOW DO I MASS CONVERT MY ITUNES FLV VIDEOS TO MP4 VIDEOS.  If MP4 will play Video & Audio---why do I need FLV files?
    1.  I have an old APLINE IDA-X001 Digital Automobile Receiver that I have ported my iPOD Classic to via their Alpine Proprietary High Speed USB2 Cable.
    2.  I have 800+ You Tube music videos from the 80s (what can I say, WE ARE ALL ENTOMBED IN THE MUSIC OF OUR YOUTH and I am a couple of months older than Steve Jobs---Double Nickel or should I say YEAR ZERO of our lord Rock & Roll!!!).  When driving, I just want to hear the Audio Files from my iPOD.
    3. 90% of said You Tube videos are in Flash Video (FLV), 10% are MP4.
    4. You can only play FLV on outputs that have videos, MP4 videos can play in video mode else audio only mode---THEREFORE I NEED TO CONVERT all my FLVs to MP4s on my iPOD Classic (160GB).
    5. Yes, there are a handful of FREE Video Converter programs out there and the one I have AV8 will convert FLV to MP4 one file at a time...drip,drip,drip!!!
    6. I have 800+ Music Videos---I will have died from old age before my iPod is filled.
    7. My DESIRED END STATE is to flip a software switch and have all my iPOD FLV videos magically convert to MP4
    8. You Tube Download Modality:  I find a song I like and Download it to RealPlayer.  Once downloaded, I PAINFULLY convert it to Ipod (can't do more than 9 songs at a time). Once in iTunes, I sync it to my iPOD classic and bam---my videos are in my my iPOD.
    9.  Currently, the only songs that play on my iPOD are those I've purchased from iTunes.
    10. Whudda I Do?  The Apple Tech guys haven't a clue. Also. If I can only do it manually (I've got movies mixed in as well), how do I set up an MP4 folder and then only transfer that folder on to my iPOD?!!!

    The sync process for contact information, calendar events and bookmarks is bidirectional.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306071
    The sync process for iTunes content and photos transferred from your computer to the iPhone is in one direction only and can be synced with iTunes on one computer only.
    iTunes includes an option to transfer content purchased from the iTunes Store only from an iPod or iPhone - not for content acquired elsewhere that was transferred from iTunes to your iPhone.
    You need to transfer your iTunes library from your Windows PC to your Mac.

  • Used to convert all my videos into iPhone mp4 format using Any Video Converter - then add it to my iPhone 3GS. But last few days, I cant add video files to iTunes. and the iTunes doesnt even specify the reason except for that "files are not supported"

    Everyting was perfect earlier. Used to convert all my videos into iPhone mp4 format using Any Video Converter - then add it to my iPhone 3GS. But last few days, I cant add video files to iTunes. and the iTunes doesnt even specify the reason except for that "files are not supported"
    Everything is fine.
    -They are the right format
    -Quicktime is updated
    -I have tried simply dragging them into the 'movie' library
    -I have tried going to file<add file to library
    Nothing works, has anyone else had this problem and found a way around it?
    Any and all help appreciated.

    In addition to Mike's suggestions,  you only have 4GB of RAM and Mavericks does use more RAM than other versions. You may also want to look at the apps that startup on login and the possiblity of upgrading RAM.

  • How can I convert Itunes video albums tracks to ipod tracks

    How can I convert Itunes video albums tracks to ipod tracks?

    3pg is an odd format... That or I just never seen it before. :P
    iTunes just ***** at converting videos. So far all videos I tried converting with iTunes have resulted in the same error you got.
    You're better-off using 3rd party apps, and then copying to iTunes, and then copying to the iPod.
    Unfortunately I don't know of any conversion programs for Windows.
    If you by chance have a mac, this program works great: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/flv2itunes.html
    The mac version of Handbrake below works great, hopefully the Windows version does, too:
    http://handbrake.fr/?article=download
    When converting with handbrake, make sure to use the iPod preset for the out-put video.
    Hope this helps a little.

  • I am after a Video Converter which will convert the likes of a avi format to then play on a Humax FOXSAT-HDR PVR, any ideas anyone please?

    I am after a Video Converterfrom the App Store which will convert the likes of a avi format to then play on a Humax FOXSAT-HDR PVR, any ideas anyone please?

    Without knowing the exact details of the AVI files in question, or the formats and codecs supported by the Humax, I can only suggest Handbrake.  Simple and powerful.  Produces excellent results.

  • Converting MPEG2 video to AVI

    I am using PE4 and I am trying to edit video from a DVD. Usually, I have edited video from my camcorder; this is my first time using video from a different source. My question is; should I convert this video into AVI for better quality/easier to edit? If so, can PE4 do this or do I have to download/buy a MPEG-AVI converter program? Thanks in advance for your help!

    Well, as they say, your mileage may vary. Particularly with non-DV-AVI files.
    But, with DV-AVIs, you can practically guarantee success.
    So it's up to you which option you choose.

  • I have a video in .avi format, what format do I need to convert to, to play on my DVD recorder, please can anyone help?

    I have a video in .avi format, but what format do I need to convert to, to play on my DVD recorder, please can anyone help?

    tylerfrombalantine's post had zero grammar in it, so it's not clear what he's saying. I bought a DVD recorder and the instruction manual lists all the disc formats it can play. Check your DVD recorder manual to see what works with it, then burn a DVD that matches. It should be fine to burn just a standard DVD, since of course any DVD player can play that.
    Depending on the program you use, you may not have to convert anything manually. The program might convert your current video format to DVD on fly as it burns the disc.

  • Converting iTunes Video format?

    Somewhere on the Apple/Windows sections I've previously posted asking if anyone out there knew of any preferable free downloads available to convert a downloaded iTunes m4v video to 3gp to watch on my mobile. I have a nano, hence asking for my phone. Obviously the formats are different and its doing my head in trying to sort something out. A forum member did post a link for two lots of software but when I downloaded them they didn't deal in m4v.
    Why I'm asking for free is the fact I'll only want to use the software the odd time. Even the trial stuff is demanding registration which comes only with full stuff-no good.
    Sorry for rambling on but if anyone-please-can help I'll be very grateful
    many thanks
    Pam

    Good old iTunes -worse than Windows for self protection eh!
    It wasn't up to Apple. The content owners mandate such copy-protection and refuse to allow the ability to burn the content to DVD. Very few download movie stores allow any burning to DVD, and those that do (at least that I've found) only allow a very few specific titles to be burned. For all the rest, they can only be played on the computer or perhaps on a portable device (as with an iPod), just as with the iTunes Store.
    It's certainly a pain, but it's a fact of life that's probably not going to go away. That's partly why Apple's coming out with the AppleTV; so you can view purchased movies and videos on your TV without having to connect up your computer.
    Regards.

  • HT2729 What video formats (avi, MPEG, MOV, etc.) are "playable" on MacBook without adding some kind of converter?  Any?  how?

    What video formats (avi, mpeg, mov, etc.) are "playable" on MacBook without any video converter?  Are there any?  How come quick time wont let me play a MPEG?  When you google this question, al the answers make me download some converter (VLC, etc.)

    What video formats (avi, mpeg, mov, etc.) are "playable" on MacBook without any video converter?  Are there any?
    Depends on what compressed data is in the AVI, MPEG, or MOV file container. E.g., assuming you are using the QT X v10.2 player listed in your hardware profile, a "muxed" MPEG-2/AC3 MPEG file will probably play correctly but an MPEG-2/MP2 or MPEG-2/PCM MPEG file may be problematic. In a similar manner, a Motion-JPEG/WAV AVI file probably won't play the video but play the audio while a DV audio/video AVI file will probably still play correctly.
    How come quick time wont let me play a MPEG?
    Agian, it depends on what you mean by an MPEG file here. A "muxed" MPEG-2/AC3 file in an MPEG, MPG, TS, or MOV file container should play correctly while the same data in a VOB file container will neither load nor play. Further, this file is not only playback compatible with the QT X v10.2 player but is now conversion compatible to H.264/AAC MOV files on my system which was a surprise to me. On the other hand, if the MPEG file contains MPEG-2 video muxed with MP2 audio (a common PC compression combination), the file will likely have audio/video sync problems and/or freeze up entirely. However, this latter file plays back correctly and without problem in QT 7 with the Apple QT MPEG-2 playback component installed. (For the moment I assume the new support capabilities, as well as, the latest audio problems here may be associated with the system audio upgrades begun in Lion and completed in Moutain Lion.)
    When you google this question, al the answers make me download some converter (VLC, etc.)
    QT is in the process of being totally re-written. Unfortunately, the addition of new capabilities comes at the expense of making the "new" QT structure less and less compatible with legacy compression formats and file containers and likely signals the eventual end of QT 7 and its "Pro" capabilities in favor of higher definition, more efficient compression technologies.

  • I finished making an animated .gif image in FireWorks. My question is, how do I convert it into video so that when I edit video, that every video editing program recognizes it? Long story short, How do I convert animated .gif files into video formats?

    I worked in Adobe FireWorks to make the animated .gif. What program do I use to convert the file from .gif to any video format: .mp4, .m4v, .avi, .wmv, etc. I want to convert it into video format, so that QuickTime Player plays the video, I can insert it into iMovie '11 and edit, and also insert it into Final Cut Pro X and edit video.

    Thanks for getting back with me so promptly.  It has taken me this time to connect with the proper people to find out the information you requested.
    The camera used to film the class was a Panasonic AG-HMC40P, owned by a local cable TV station; they use Kodak video encoding software, and a SD card was used to store the video.   The file extension is .mts, and the mime file is MPEG 2 transport.  He said I probably need an AVCHD converter, and the Mac app store lists 8 of those options, 4 free and 4 for up to $9.99.  He said I'll also need a converter for later plans of posting on YouTube or on the website, and while some of those in the app store might work for the later needs, he knows one app called "Compressor" that would work for the uploading later.  He also suggested I could try renaming the .mts file to .MP2T, but he wasn't sure that would work.
    They don't work with Macs at the studio, but I had thought I could have some lessons there in editing, and apply what I learned to my iMac and iMovie.
    First, though, I have to be able to see it and review it!
    Thanks again!

  • ITunes / Quicktime Video Problems With Windows VISTA

    I took up Windows Vista as soon as it was available and initially had no problems with iTunes. Then later, video clips (those purchased from iTunes and those I had converted myself) started stuttering / freezing and eventually crashing iTunes and finally I lost audio as well.
    Ayyway to cut a long story short, I have uninstalled / re-installed Vista now about eight times for problems with installing drivers for USB devices (I've finally solved all these problems). After the last install the first program I installed was iTunes, tried video and it worked flawlessly. Then, each time I added a hardware device or program I would restart Vista and retry iTunes video.
    The first item I added was a USB thumb drive (as I had on all previous occasions to take advantage of Vista's 'Ready Boost'). The thumb drive is a 'Sony 2GB micro vault tiny', and meets the transfer speed requirements for 'Ready Boost', as soon as I had set the drive up for 'Ready Boost' I started having the same problems with iTunes video and Quicktime.
    Removed the thumb drive, restarted iTunes and had flawless video playback again. Have tried this over and over with the same result.
    So my question is, has anyone else had video playback problems with iTunes / Vista and found similar problems. Trying to tie down whether this is a compatability problem with 'Ready Boost' or the thumb drive used. I have also tried a Sandisk Titanium 2GB with the same result.
    I am not sure exactly how 'Ready Boost' works, I thought it added memory that was used to cache page files to the thumb drive instead of to the HDD making a faster seek /access time? Which should make things faster. Another article I read today was talking about 'Ready Boost' being an affordable extension to RAM, in this case I could understand the problem as I would think the access to a USB 2.0 thumbdrive would be slower than that to RAM.
    Any help appreciated, but I guess my bottom line is anytime I want to watch video on iTunes, I just pull the USB thumb drive .
    PC Pentium 4   Other OS   Windows Vista Home Premium

    I have the same stuttering video issues with iTunes and Vista. While I have used a thumb drive to transfer files (not Sony) I have not yet messed with Ready boost. I have seen several others complain about the video problem, perhaps they will chime in as well. Unfortunately, your solution doesn't work for me. I pretty much ignore iTunes, waiting for the next version (only god knows when it will be released).
    I do have an external firewire drive connected, I'll disconnect later today and see if that has any affect.
