Converting movies for itunes!

I have a few shows and such that arnt read by itunes and Im just wondering what program I could use to convert them so my itunes could pick them up. I have windows movie maker and I cant tell which file save itunes would read.

You need to do get info while playing each movie ckip and report the bitrates not this info, which we kind of knew - reason: the H.264 could be 5 mb/sec for one and 1 mb/sec for the other, to be clearer. You can report what the AVI is , bitrate wise as well.
Though I think Big Endian is uncompressed audio and may take up a lot of room. The AAC is much more compressed audio.
Use MPEG Streamclip, export to MPEG-4 and pick the variouos iPod/Apple TV presets and make your life a LOT easier and it is free. Does batches of files too. I don't ever use QT itself, as MPEG Streamclip uses it as the engine.
iTunes won't have a problem, if the bitrates exceed the iPod limits they won't play on an iPod. I am pretty sure the Big Endian audio won't at all.
You can change a MOV file to a music video in iTunes merely by changing the setting under Video when you do get info on it.

    Movies & videos synced to your phone will appear in your iPod app. iPod>Videos.

  • Converting Videos for Itunes

    I am new to Itunes. I tried to convert a video to put on my Ipod (many videos) but there is no audio after it finishes converting. what am i doing wrong?

    its my understanding that after you converted it for itunes the audio went missing?
    if this is so, then i suggest you use this program:

    with the original file, and then try to put it into itunes.
    ive been using it ever since i got the video ipod and it has worked brilliantly everytime.

    How do you mean? I wonder if the XP version is the same as the Mac version. I think as a default Handbrake will respect the aspect ratio. It's only the quality you need to decide on.

  • Converting XviD movies for iTunes

    I have quite a few XviD music videos that I would like to import into iTunes that I can watch with Apple TV. I purchased QuickTime Pro yesterday and I exported a couple of videos, one to QuickTime Movie (.mov) and one for Apple TV (.m4v) to see what the difference is.
    A 50MB 4 minute XviD clip exported to a 140MB Quicktime movie.
    A 44MB 4 minute XviD clip exported to a 74MB Apple TV movie.
    My questions are:
    Is the quality of the .mov better than the .m4v?
    Is there any other benefit (for iTunes or Apple TV) of one over the other.
    I would like to group these into iTunes with some organization, but currently they both show up in the Movies section. Is there a good way to organize movies by artists?
    Thanks for your help!

  • Converting Movie for iPod

    So, I have an .MPG file that i want to work on an ipod... but when i do the whole Advanced > Convert Selection for iPod thing which turns it in to an .MP4 file... the sound of the movie goes away.
    Is there a way to fix it so it doesnt... or is there another MPG > MP4 editor out there?

    If you need help first you'll need to explain a few more things. What version of QuickTime do you have installed? QuickTime 7.0.3 (which adds export to iPod feature) or QuickTime 7.0.4?
    I've heard some people had problems with upgrading to QuickTime 7.0.4 - namely they lose their Pro functionality. Also what version of Mac OS X are you running is it Panther (10.3.9) or 10.4 Tiger? How old is your Mac? Is it one of the Intel based Macs released at MacWorld '06 or an older PowerPC based one?
    Also what version of iTunes are you running? (This is important) iTunes 6 and higher requires QT 7.0.3 for best video playback. Videos I convert to iPod format using QT's export movie to iPod feature end up in .m4v format (the format of videos sold in iTunes) but mine are unencrypted - no FairPlay DRM.
    I am converting my own videos to the iPod's format. .mp4 is another format the iPod can use. If you have ffmpegX (Google it) can convert video to iPod video or iPod TV format.
    My videos exported to iPod format in QT 7.0.3 were originally in .AVI format.
    Export to iPod (320X240) format = .m4v (MPEG 4 Video)
    They work just fine and I have a Mac PowerBook G4 from winter 2003 with OS X Panther (10.3.9) + QuickTime 7.0.3 + iTunes 6.0.2

  • Problem Uploading Converted Movie to Itunes

    I have a 30gig Ipod Video,and I downloaded a movie from 360Download,and I then used cucusoft.com to convert it, Now the converted movie is in a folder and I looked on the website of cucucsoft to look for the instructions to then upload the movie into Itunes. But everytime I try to drag the movie file or "add file to library" in Itunes....Nothing happens,I look back into my library and I do not see the movie.
    Can anyone help me?

    The majority of conversion problems posted here are
    tied to videora.
    Audio/video sync problems, won't go onto ipod even
    though it says it is the correct format, or sound
    drops out after a few minutes.
    That is bad, buggy software.
    People keep pushing the software, suggesting it for
    every person posting.
    Since it is buggy and so many people have problems
    with it and I do not want to keep seeing repeated
    questions about why videora messed up-I tell people
    to avoid it.
    I use to just tell them to google search, try several
    different ones and pick what they like.
    Now I just push mpeg streamclip to counteract
    everyone else pushing videora.
    I do this because I care.
    I ended up searching thru some of your posts,and I got the url for the actual site,and I have no downloaded square5, BUT NOW....when I try to convert the movie using this format....Its telling me "FILE OPEN ERROR:SUPPORTED FILE TYPE"
    Help Me...what am I doing wrong or is it just the movie I am trying to convert?....

  • Add converted movies to iTunes library.

    I have a large collection of movies that I want to add to the iTunes library, intended for viewing on AppleTV.
    I purchased Bigasoft video converter for iTunes, and transcoded to AppleTV format, yet, nothing is showing up in the library either by using File>Add Folder/File, or dragging and dropping...
    What am I doing wrong? It's incredible irritating....

    Make sure it's the right format mov, m4v or mp4.
    If you format is correct but still not able to add file to library, please repair your Quicktime.
    Control Panel > Proigrams n Features > highlight QuickTime, click CHANGE then REPAIR.

  • Converting movies in itunes

    when i use itunes to convert movies and sync to my iphone the movie clip will play but i get no sound. any ideas
    thanks

    If the videos are multiplexed MPEG files then the audio and the video are muxed onto the same track. QuickTime, and therefore any application that uses QT like iTunes, the iPod, iMovie (Mac app), etc. expect two separate tracks, one video and one audio. So when you convert these muxed files, the video is played and the audio is not heard.
    iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files

    So you need to do a conversion on the file first. MPEG Streamclip is a popular one that comes in both Mac and Windows versions and is known to "repair" this problem.
    There are other applications that can do this as well. Try searching the iLounge.com web site for more conversion help. But your root cause is the muxed MPEG files.

  • Converted movie for ipod but no sound!!!

    I’ve finally converted all my music videos to apples “.mov” format since they work great in itunes. However for some reason several videos will not transfer to the ipod as itunes says they will not play. The videos that seem to be working were converted to m4p before converted to .mov. I had no idea an apple file (.mov) wouldn’t work on an apple device (ipod), whatever. So I used the “Convert Selection for iPod” for a movie that wouldn’t work. After a freaking long time, 15-20min for a 4min video, it converted it but of course, there’s NO SOUND. Try and figure that one out. BTW, has anyone ever had their question answered on these forums?

  • What is the Home Videos tab within Movies for iTunes 11.0.1

    What is the Home Videos tab within the Movies list for iTunes 11.0.1?
    I can't find anything about it.

    There is a simple solution to error code 3072 when installing upgrades.
    Ensure all other users are logged out.
    This fixes the problem. From my experience so far you do not have to reboot your mac.

  • Converting Movies for iPod: No Sound

    Whenever I convert a movie for my iPod, there is no sound in the converted file. The original movie has sound, but it is in a form that you can't put on iPod.
    By the way, I am using the Convert Selection for iPod/iPhone under the Advanced menu.
    Any ideas??

    Try using MPEG Streamclip to convert the videos; more information on this issue is available in this article.

    I bought a movie on iTunes the other day. The movie plays fine on my computer and on the AppleTV. But it will not sync to my iPod Touch or iPhone.
    When I tried to convert the Movie by using File -> Create New Version -> Create iPod or iPhone Version. I only got an error message: Error occured while converting the file "<Movie Name>". an unknown error occurred (-4).
    Any suggestion on the meaning of the error and how to correct it?
