  • I have recently bought a Seagate Goflex satellite mobile wireless hard drive. I have converted some of my AVI movies to mp4 and transferred them to the hard drive, but when I play them through my iPad 2 I can hear the sound but not see the movie. Help???

    I have recently bought a Seagate Goflex satellite mobile wireless hardrive , i have converted some of my AVI movies to MP4 and loaded them onto the hard drive, when I try and play them through my I pad2 I can hear the sound of the movie but not see the film, somebody please help, what am I doing wrong as I have spent a lot of time converting these movies to be able to travel with my iPad and watch them. Thank you

    Unfortunately, the drive is pretty much restricted without hacking it. That is, you can't stream its content via standardized protocols like UPnP, SMB, FTP and the like. This makes you won't be able to access its content from any third-party apps otherwise capable of playing back AVI files from UPnP / SMB / FTP / WebDAV etc. sources.
    While this is certainly not a recommendation (I can in no way be held responsible if anything goes wrong): you may want to consider extending the capabilities of the drive by installing the hack: http://www.hackseagatesatellite.com/wordpress/welcome/
    It'll "open" the drive for third-party, AVI-capable multimedia apps like GoodPlayer, It's Playing etc. to directly play the files over the network.

  • HELP! Converting MPEG4 into Mov, AVI, WMV

    I made a small clip on iMovie. I need to upload to a website for my band. I clicked on Share then export movie to my desktop. The website clearly says..."For video, we accept the following formats: WMV, MOV, AVI, MPG, MP4, FLV"
    Also, "SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT VIDEO:
    GigMasters will automatically convert all WMV, MOV, AVI, MPG, and MP4 files to FLV. The conversion process will change the size of your video to 320 x 240 if it's not that size already. Also, the "audio sampling rate" of the video must be 11025 hz, 22050 hz, or 44,100 hz. Otherwise the audio may be garbled on playback."
    Everytime I try to upload it tells me, "We do not accept the format of the file you selected. Please make sure your file format matches one of those listed above."
    Somebody please help. Thank you.

    If using 4:3, which would be better given the AR of the movie required by your website, using the export to movie and then choosing the mobile size should be just fine. However your website may not like the .m4v extension added to the movie, in which case simply open the movie in Quicktime and select save as from the file menu, the resulting video will now be in a .mov container which you can then try uploading to your website.

    i checked that out but it seemed a lil tricky for me.  i ended up getting perian and it seems to work as far as playing the .mkv file on my mac but i still need find something to convert it for my flash drive so i dont have to connect my mac to a tv in order to watch a movie. 
    i guess i should just buy a connection for my mac so i can plug it into the tv.  do you know what would be a good connection to use? 

  • Converting MKV file to AVI

    Apologies if this question is already listed, I did have a look and the only reference I could find was archived and dated 2007.
    I am looking for software which will convert an MKV file to AVI. Ideally, a shareware product would be more suitable than having to purchase a product as it is probably only a one-off project. Can anyone please recommend a good converter either shareware or inexpensive version. I am using a MacBookPro 10.9.1 with Mavericks
    Many thanks in advance,  Ted.

    Try free video dvd converter ultimate, it works well without watermarks.

  • Converting .mov to .avi, .wmv etc

    Does anyone know of any mac software that can convert .mov files to .avi, .wmv etc..

    yes agree with previous., go purchase FFMac from telestream either the standard SDPRO or the HDPRO version for your needs.
    Once in as a QT components, you can SELECT the mode for transode of the type of object you want transcoded in the COMPRESSOR.app INSPECTOR/ENCODER listbox as:
    ENCODE/FILE FORMAT/QUICKTIME COMPONENTS/Encoder Type list box...
    select .wmv etc...
    works ok but the FFpro encoding for WMx etc is not as good as .H264 ...(imho) and I was not too satisfied with the results for HDV 1080i recently..
    hope that helps.

  • Convert MKV to MP4 or WMV with PrE

    I would like to convert a .MKV video file into a .WMV or .MP4, since the video cannot be read by standard hardware as it is.
    I tried to open it with Premiere Elements, but it couldn't be read by PrE, so I cannot export as a different format. Is there any work around to this?

    DeverK
    Thanks for the follow up.
    From the looks of it, you can convert to MKV (if you wanted that file extension) or MP4 with the free HandBrake.
    I have used HandBrake (Windows) for conversion to H.264.mp4 with constant frame rate, when the counterpart with variable frame rate
    would not work in Premiere Elements or when it imported but with audio out of sync.
    It appears that with the choice of MP4 as the container format (file extension), the choice of video codec is described
    H.264 (x264)
    MPEG-4 (FF mpeg)
    MPEG-2 (FF mpeg)
    whereas, with the choice of MKV as the container format (file extension), the choice of video codec is described
    H.264 (x264)
    MPEG-4 (FF mpeg)
    MPEG-2 (FF mpeg)
    VP3 (theora)
    We will be watching for your progress with this when you have the time.

  • Can Quicktime Pro convert .mkv video formats to mp4 video formats

    I purchased Quicktime Pro believing it could convert .mkv video formats to MP4 video formats, however, the resulting output file is just a 60kb file from an original 971,936 kb file.
    I registered the key as given to me in the purchase receipt email, I used Export to MRP, I selected the input .mkv file. All seemed to be OK until it ended creating the short 60kb file.
    Suggestions please.

    I purchased Quicktime Pro believing it could convert .mkv video formats to MP4 video formats, however, the resulting output file is just a 60kb file from an original 971,936 kb file.
    As indicated on the Apple web site, keying the QT Player for "Pro" use merely unlocks editing and conversion features built into the app but not available without the key. It does not add any new file type or codec support beyond that for which the QT Player is already configured on your platform.
    I registered the key as given to me in the purchase receipt email, I used Export to MRP, I selected the input .mkv file. All seemed to be OK until it ended creating the short 60kb file.
    An MKV file will convert only if you have support for both the MKV file container (which is not natively QT compatible) and codecs to handle the specific codecs contained in the MKV file container if available for QT use.
    Suggestions please.
    I do not normally use MKV files on a daily basis and so, on those occasions when I do need to use them as a source for conversions to mobile devices, I use the free HandBrake application. As I see it, you can either try to add the missing support needed to use QT 7 Pro or you could download HandBrake for iTunes managed/mobile device files or use FFmpeg (on which HandBrake is based) for more general target conversions. As a non-PC user, I am assuming here that the Windows versions of both the HandBrake and FFmpeg apps have the same features as are available in the Mac versions of these apps.

  • How do I convert a shockwave object file into a mp4 or avi video?

    How do I convert a shockwave object file into a mp4 or avi video?  Do you know of any software that converts that type of file?  

    The M4V format is a video file format developed by Apple and is very close to the MP4 format. The differences are the optional Apple's DRM copyright protection, and the treatment of AC3 (Dolby Digital) audio which is not standardized for the MP4 container.
    If your M4V video is not unprotected M4V files and without AC3 audio. It may be recognized and played by other video players by changing the file extension from ".m4v" to "mp4".
    So you can try to change the file extension and check if it works. If it doesn't work, try Leawo video converter(for windows or mac) and convert m4v to mp4 format.

  • Convert & burn .avi & .wmv files to DVD?

    As a relative Mac newbie, I would like to know how to convert .avi & .wmv files that are on my hard drive to DVD-burnable format. I generally use Toast Titanium 6.0.7 for all disc burning. An acquaintance suggested that I use iMovie for this purpose, but -- excuse my ignorance -- how exactly and in a simple way do I do it (go from having .avi and/or .wmv files on my hard drive to being able to actually and successfully burn them to DVD)?
    Trying to add the files to Toast's "DVD Video" pre-DVD-burn setting just brings up black screen stills to represent the file, leading me to believe there is a problem, because other video files I've burned in the past have loaded into Toast with a video still frame grab before burning.
    Windows seems to be able to perform this function easily, but could anyone help with simple, direct info on how to do it with Mac Tiger?..
    Is this all a codec issue? If so, why should it be (on an otherwise tech-savvy and adaptable Apple OS) and how do I rectify it in a straightforward and simple manner?
    I should add that I can view .avi files on my Mac by using VLC Media Player, and the .wmv files by using Windows Media Player for Mac, but I want to be able to convert these files to DVD-burnable format, so I can view them on a television set-top DVD player...
    Thanks in advance for any assistance!

    Here's a couple more suggestions that I use .Not so elegent but they work.
    1. I use a VGA to TV converter box which plugs in to the VGA connection on the computer & gives S video or composite out & then plugin to the dv in from the camera. Then import to imovie for any editing & then burn away !Quick & dirty & it works eveytime. Of course you must have a vga connection at the back of your computer.
    2. On the PC side I use Cyberlink Power Director. This accepts .wmv files & will convert to other formats & also send to mini dv camera tape if I want to burn to standalone DVD burner.

  • What is a good video converter - from .mov to .avi

    I've tried researching this topic and I've seen a lot of partially helpful info.  I'll try to be specific.  I'm using a MBP with OS X, and iMovie '09 (version 8.0.6).  I'm trying to convert my edited .mov files to either .avi or .wmv files so i can embed them into a powerpoint presentation for PC.  I am not trying to rip DVDs.  These are interview I filmed myself.  I need a decent (free or inexpensive) converter to do this.  I have tried Handbrake and i only get .mp4 as an format option.  I've also tried MPEG StreamClip but when it converts there is no audio.  I don't mind paying a few bucks to have a good converter, but i want one that will do the job.  Any help or opinions are greatly appreciated!

    For .wmv, you can use Flip4Mac. http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm
    A potentially free solution is to use regular iMovie h.264 files (.m4v) and be sure to install QuickTime for Windows on the Windows PC.
    If you need to distribute the PPT to multiple PCs, I would go for Flip4Mac.
    To the best of my knowledge, purchasing Flip4Mac gives you the components and codec you would need. Then you do the actual conversion in QuickTime Pro. MPEG Streacmlip might work, but I'm not certain. Worth trying since it is free.

    I have just asked a question about downloading MacKeeper elsewhere - why do you say not to download it? Does it not work or is it malicious?
    Do you have any others suggestions for cleaning up my laptop and desktop? Both running OS 10.6.8 and both seem a bit slow to me, especially when I have multiple applications open.
    Thanks

  • How to publish to video format avi , wmv , mov or mpg ?

    How to publish to video format avi , wmv , mov or mpg ?

    Hello there,
    You can publish as MP4 from Captivate and then use any video converters to convert from MP4 to whatever format you need. But, as Lilybiri mentioned, there won't be any interactivity in the videos.
    Thanks,

  • Convert MKV to QT?

    I did search but cannot find anything that specifically addresses the proble of "converting" MKV files to QT.
    I can play the mkv's that I have using videolan, or MPlayer, but I want to be able to get them into a QT format. I have QT 7 Pro; I also have Flip4Mac which handles WMV conversions very well. But not, it seems, mkv.
    Any help with converting? Thanks

    This is command line only....

    Quote from the mkvextract man page at:
    http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/doc/mkvextract.html
    The decision about the output format is based on the track type, not on the extension used for the output file name. The following track types are supported at the moment:
    V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC
    H.264 / AVC video tracks are written to H.264 elementary streams which can be processed further with e.g. MP4Box from the GPAC package.
    V_MS/VFW/FOURCC
    Fixed FPS video tracks with this CodecID are written to AVI files.
    V_REAL/*
    RealVideo tracks are written to RealMedia files.
    A_MPEG/L3, A_AC3
    These will be extracted to raw MP3 and AC3 files.
    A_PCM/INT/LIT
    Raw PCM data will be written to a WAV file.
    A_AAC/MPEG2/*
    All MPEG2 AAC files will be written into an AAC file with ADTS headers before each packet.
    A_AAC/MPEG4/*
    All MPEG4 AAC files will be written into an AAC file with ADTS headers before each packet. The ADTS headers will not contain the deprecated emphasis field.
    A_VORBIS
    Vorbis audio will be written into an Ogg/Vorbis file.
    A_REAL/*
    RealAudio tracks are written to RealMedia files.
    A_TTA1
    TrueAudio tracks are written to TTA files. Please note that due to Matroska’s limited timecode precision the extracted file’s header will be different regarding two fields: data_length (the total number of samples in the file) and the CRC.
    S_TEXT/UTF8
    Simple text subtitles will be written as SRT files.
    S_TEXT/SSA, S_TEXT/***
    SSA and *** text subtitles will be written as SSA/*** files respectively.
    Tags are converted to a XML format. This format is the same that mkvmerge supports for reading tags.
    Attachments are written to they output file as they are. No conversion whatsoever is done.
    Chapters are converted to a XML format. This format is the same that mkvmerge supports for reading chapters. Alternatively a stripped-down version can be output in the simple OGM style format.
    Timecodes are first sorted and then output as a timecode v2 format compliant file ready to be fed to mkvmerge. The extraction to other formats (v1 and v3) is not supported.
    EXAMPLES
    Let’s assume you’ve made a Matroska file with one video track, two audio tracks and two subtitle tracks, and you need the second audio track and the first subtitle track. So first fire up mkvmerge with the --identify option:
    $ mkvmerge -i movie.mkv
    File ’movie.mkv’: container: Matroska
    Track ID 1: video (V_MS/VFW/FOURCC, DIV3)
    Track ID 2: audio (A_MPEG/L3)
    Track ID 3: audio (A_VORBIS)
    Track ID 4: subtitles (S_TEXT/UTF8)
    Track ID 5: subtitles (S_TEXT/UTF8)
    Now you can call mkvextract like this:
    $ mkvextract tracks movie.mkv 3:audio.ogg 4:subtitles.srt
    Another example. Let’s assume you have a Matroska file with one RealVideo v10 track, one Vorbis audio track and one RealAudio (COOK) track. The identification output might look like this:
    $ mkvmerge -i movie2.mkv
    File ’movie2.mkv’: container: Matroska
    Track ID 1: video (V_REAL/RV40)
    Track ID 2: audio (A_VORBIS)
    Track ID 3: audio (A_REAL/COOK)
    Let’s further assume you want only need the video and the RealAudio track but both in the same output file. This is possible for RealMedia files by using the same output name for those tracks that you want to end up in the same file:
    $ mkvextract tracks movie2.mkv 1:extracted.rm 3:extracted.rm
    Sometimes the raw data of a track might even be useful, e.g. for MPEG-1 tracks. In this case you can use a track flag like this:
    $ mkvextract tracks movie3.mkv --fullraw 1:extracted.mpeg
    If you need the timecodes for all the blocks of track 2 from a file then you can let mkvextract create a timecode v2 format file like this:
    $ mkvextract timecodes_v2 input.mkv 2:timecodes-track2.txt
