Converting video to work on a theatre screen

Hey,
I need to convert a video i have already made into a format that would work on a big (theatre screen) and surround sound. right now when you play my video on a regular t.v. it works fine, but when you throw it up on the big screen the sound ***** and the subtitles end up in weird spots. what can i do to fix this??

+" ... it was played from a laptop to a digital projector ... and the subtitles did not fit onto the screen the projector played it on ..."+
These kind of problems often occur when the screen resolution on your laptop is set higher than what the projector can handle ... or if the subtitles were visible but off the screen, maybe the projector's zoom lens just needs to be adjusted
+" ... we could not hear the soundtrack or the voiceovers ..."+
The surround sound system may not be set properly for 2-channel stereo input; that would definitely cause issues hearing the sound. There is usually a control or software setting in the sound system; plus the audio output from your laptop should be connected to the Right & Left Front channel inputs only.
Also, assuming you have the audio out from your laptop connected to the sound system, you may need to turn up the audio level in your laptop.

Video Not Working & Can't Share Screen

Hello, I am having a slight problem...
What happens is that in my group, I cannot share my screen nor use my webcam, as the video button is greyed out and "Share screen" isn't there. It says I cannot have more than 10 people in the call, but I only have about 5-7 at a time and they can share screens or turn on their webcam; I'm the only one who can't. I already checked my video settings and my webcam is working fine. I also already reinstalled Skype and it's still happening.
What are they doing that I'm not?
Thank you!~
Solved!

This is a known issue with the latest Skype 7.0 update.

You can uninstall the 7.0 version and install the previous 6.21.0.104 Skype version:

Losing Audio when converting videos to work on IPOD

Hello,
I have loads of small home videos I took using a pretty basic Hewlet Packard Camera. They are just MPG files and when I dragged them over into ITUNES then tried to sync them into my IPOD it did'nt work.
I followed the instructions and used the option in the advanced settings to convert them into an IPOD version which seemed to work. However when I sync'd then over to my IPOD they transferred across and look fine but have no audio.
Does anyone know if it's possible to sort this or are the video clips just not completely compatible.
Thanks
Craig.

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

Converting Videos to Work on iPod

I loaded some videos into my library, right clicked them and selected to "convert for iPod", it did... something. I thought it had converted them so they would work and play, or show at all, on my iPod. They are not still. I'm at a total loss what to do?! Can anyone reccommend a third party software so I can convert the files themselves into .mov or .mp4? Thanks.

Since you have not provied specific information regarding your particular problem, there are two possibilities. The first is that your source files are not QT compatible and the second is that the content of your files are too complex to be handled in their current form.
iTunes conversions are based on "frame-to-frame" sync QT routines. "Muxed" formats (e.g., MPEG1, MPEG2, VOB, some AVI, MJPEG, etc.) use blocks of audio data interspersed with blocks of video data to maintain A/V synchronization. Therefore, the iTunes converter will only correctly convert non-muxed, QT compatible files.
Then too the iTunes converter employs a highly efficient but very complex multi-pass H.264/AAC codec which can be very content sensitive. Brightnes, contrast, saturation, and the amount/frequency of action sequences can all effect conversions. Older movies and videos can be particularly troublesome. In this case, switching to a single-pass conversion can fix the problem. In more severe cases, use of software filters can alleviate the problem.

In Windows 8.1 Premiere Pro video imported clips shows up black screen in Source & Work space. Everything is updated on my PC. They say it could have been a Windows update? Is anyone else having this problem and found a solution any suggestions.. Thank you.

Hello, thank you for your help. I finally was able to contact someone from Adobe on line.. It took about 1 hour on hold but I finally won the lotto...Lol. Pr.. /Project/Project Settings/General/ I had the (Mercury Playback Engine GPU Accelerated (CUDA) and not the (Mercury Playback Engine Software Only) It only took 1 second for Adobe to figure it out...Lol.
Although I have a high rated Nvidia card that did handle the software for some time after a hack, I believe a Windows update may have altered my Premiere Pro CS6 settings.
Video card is Geforce Nvidia GTX 765M non compatible with (Mercury Playback Engine GPU Accelerated (CUDA). Thank Ronin Edits and cvid01

Do PSP converted videos work for the ipod?

I heard that videos already converted for the PSP also work for the ipod. Is this true? Please i really need you to answer this jsut a simple yes or no if you can. Thxs.....

Um for the most part. The correct file format for the iPod is MP4. The PSP also uses this, but I think it can use some other formats too. There are a few programs out there that you can use to convert video files for both the PSP and iPod. If you are using a Mac I suggest ffmpegx. If you are using a PC, the go with the PSPvideo9. If you download these and either one of them is confusing to you, repost back here and I'll see if I can unconfuse you. Good luck!

Most camera videos are AVCHD videos or MTS videos. You should convert them to iMovie supported video formats with a tool like handbrake or enolsoft video converter for mac.

Converted video on a TV screen

Has anyone tried to watch their converted video files on a TV screen? What is the picture like?

The picture is better than I thought it would be. The color is just a little flat, and just a tiny bit soft, but very watchable. Overall, I am very surprised.

How to convert video and dvd for iPod

1. Download, install and run PQ DVD to iPod Video Converter. It can convert from DVD, Tivo, DivX, MPEG, WMV, AVI, RealMedia and many more to iPod Video.
(PQ DVD to iPod Video Converter Download)
2. Click "Open ..." button and choose a video file or DVD disc to open. Wait for the movie to start playing in the preview window.
3. Based on the aspect ration of the video source PQ DVD to iPod Video Converter will choose the best resolution for the output iPod video. Nevertheless you can select a resolution of your choice to stretch/squash the picture. Alternatively, you can choose a Crop Mode to cut unimportant parts of the video (like top/bottom black bars or subtitles).
You can also adjust the desired quality to reduce the output size of the movie.
In the preview window you will see what the resulting movie will look like.
When you have set the desired settings simple click on the "Record it" button to convert the video/DVD.
Depending on the settings a 60 minutes video is converted on average for 15 minutes.
4. When the process finishes you can test the recorded video file on your PC using QuickTime to see if it works well.
Then launch iTunes, add the recorded file into the library and update iPod (under iTunes' File menu). And have a nice time!
Additional Settings
1. Video Settings
Video Frame Rate
Known as Frame Per Second (FPS). It refers to the number of pictures displayed in 1 second in order to form continuous motions. The default frame rate is 15 fps. You may choose 24fps to get more continuos motions.
When selecting higher fps, increase the movie quality and size a little. This is because more frames need some amount of additional motion data to be stored.
Brightness Level
Increase the level to make video appear brighter on your iPod screen. The default is level 0 (No brightness change from the original video).
2. Audio Options
Audio Quality
There are 6 audio quality modes to choose: 32kbps Mono, 48kbps Mono, 48Kbps Stereo, 64Kbps Stereo, 96Kbps Stereo, 128Kbps Stereo.
Audio Bitrate (in Kbits per second)
Audio bitrate refers to how many data storage is allocated to store audio signals. The higher audio
bitrate, the better audio quality.
Audio Volume
You can change output audio volume in "Output Settings" dialog. The default volume level is 5 (original volume).
Stereo to Mono
When the output audio is set to Mono, you can choose which stereo channel (of input source) to be copied into the Mono channel (output). It is useful for some video sources (e.g. VCD) which use the left, right channels for different languages or for karaoke.
3. DVD subtitle(subpicture), language
It is recommended to use the native DVD menu in the preview panel to set subtitle(subpicture) and language. (Click "DVD menu" button on the right to show native DVD menu in the preview panel) You may also change the subtitle(subpicture), language in the program's Options menu, but there are some DVDs that require the change must be made in the native DVD menu instead of the program's menu.
Windows XP
Windows 2000
Windows ME

How to output video to TV or Home Theatre? (iphone)

How to output video to TV or Home Theatre? (iphone)

I recently bought a AV projector and was asked by a smirky but envious friend the same question, after watching me hook up my powerbook, having already purchased an ipod video 30gig with the UNIVERSAL DOCK with remote control and ifrared remote control I remembered reading about it also working with the iphone, so it having a s-video output with a audio mini output port, I plugged the iphone into it and it came up with a little message saying this is not a iphone compatible device, and asked me to turn on airport, I ignored the request and it just clicked over to the itunes section, I picked a video and presto instant big screen projection TV off the iphone, How IMPRESSIVE! then I went to utube launched a utube video and wow how cool it also played seamlessly, although it pays to let the Youtube videos buffer for a minute to get a better play off the EDGE net work verse the Wi-Fi, I plan on having lots of out door theatre shows this summer with this very compact multi-media package, What a hoot! Get the universal dock no glitches!

Hotshot video conversion resolution? No full screen ever?

I have the Pantech Hotshot. The screen resolution of the phone is 400wide x 240high. When I convert a video to that resolution the phone always reduces it to 320 wide instead of filling the screen to the 400 wide and makes the 240 high even smaller. If I convert the video to a larger size it makes the video on screen even smaller. The only video resolution that works decent is 320x240 which fills the screen top to bottom but leaves black bars right and left. If its the phone software that's doing it than what's the point of having a screen 400x240 if you can never view a video in that screen filling resolution? And the video player has no option to zoom or fill the screen. What is the best resolution to convert a video to view on this phone to fill the screen completely like every phone I've ever had was able to do? Thanks

"The screen resolution of the phone is 400wide x 240high.

I think you have not found the solution to your situation. We have a non-smartphone (Samsung u370) that, like your phone, has a screen resolution of 400x240 and, like your phone, seemingly won't play a video at the correct resolution when the video is a resolution that exceeds 320x240.
On this u370 phone while playing a video, there are icons on the screen one of which looks like an "X" with arrows at the end of each of the ends of the "X". Tapping this icons causes the video player to expand the video so that now it's playing at the full horizontal resolution of 400.
The video player on our flip phones works the same way. Our LG vx8370 has a 320x240 screen. When I play a 320x240 video, initially the video players plays the video at a resolution of 240 x something. When I push up on the directional pad, then the phone expands the video and then plays it at 320x240.
One more thing. My experience on two different Verizon non-smartphones is the same when it comes to playing widescreen videos -- when I play a video of a resolution such that I have to select the option to expand the video so that the video is playing at the full horizontal resolution of the video, the video player won't show the correct vertical resolution of the widescreen video. Instead, the video player stretches the video to fill the vertical resolution of the phone's screen. While that is tolerable to me for a 16x9 video, my preference is that I find a stretched 2.35:1 video to look unwatchable. The only way that I can preserve the aspect ratio of the widescreen video is to use a video conversion tool that lets me pad the video with blank lines. FFmpeg and mencoder are two tools that have this padding option. So this is what I came up with. Suppose I have a 16:9 widescreen video. The video would need to be about 400x224. Since the video player software on the Verizon non-smartphones will play incorrectly by showing a video stretched to fill the whole screen, I'll need to use the padding command in ffmpeg and add 16 blank lines -- 8 lines above the video and 8 lines below the video. The ffmpeg command for that is
scale=400:224,pad=400:240:0:8
ffmpeg will scale the video to 400x224. The pad command tells ffmpeg that the converted video will have a total of 240 vertical lines of which 224 are the video and 16 of which are blank lines. The "8" tells ffmpeg how to center the video -- there'll be 8 lines above the video and 8 lines below the video.
Since ffmpeg uses a command line interface, two free graphic user interfaces for ffmpeg that I like are Avanti and Pazera:
http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Avanti
http://www.pazera-software.com/products/audio-extractor/
Pazera uses an older version of ffmpeg which can be updated after installing pazera by, if I remember correctly, just deleting the older ffmpeg file and replacing it with the new one.
