Creating a video to play on Blackberry 8310 Curve

I'm wondering if anybody has had any success creating a video to run on a
blackberry, specifically the 8310 Curve.
I've gone to the blackberry site, looked at their specs on what type of formats it will run, and I've read the blackberry manual...but there is a whole menagerie of complex specs that is difficult to decifer...in otherwords, it's not as easy as it "will run a quicktime" or "mp4".
If anybody has successfully created a video using FCP or Quicktime Pro or Compressor to run on their blackberry, I'd be interested in hearing exactly what format you used and how you got there.
Thanks.

Creating a video to play on an iPad

I am trying to create a slideshow video (using Adobe Lightroom 4 on Windows7) to play on an iPad. I exported it as a .mp4 in both 720p and 1080p but iTunes won't put either on my iPad3 because it says "this video can't be played on this iPad." What should i do? why won't the videos play on an iPad?
LightRoom says the format should work with QuickTime

You will only encounter playback issues with non-native file container formats (MKV, AVI, MTS, WMV etc.) played from third-party players. MOV / M4V / MP4 files, assuming they have proper H.264 AVC (or ASP) content, will play back just fine, even at extreme bitrates.
For example, the standardized 40 Mbps (!!!) test video stream at http://www.auby.no/files/video_tests/h264_1080p_hp_4.1_40mbps_birds.mkv plays just fine with the original (24 fps) framerate on ALL A4- and A5-based iOS devices after remuxing it to a MP4 container. For that matter, even the old iPhone 3GS plays it back at a tolerable speed.
That is, all you need to do is sticking with H.264 and MOV / M4V / MP4 containers - that is, avoiding non-native containers and/or stream formats. Then, you surely won't ever encounter framerate issues, not even with 1080p content playing back on A4-based models like the iPad 1 / iPhone 4 / iPod touch 4. (Of course, you need a third-party app to sync these 1080p files to as iTunes, however much the device would easily be able to play back the files, refuses to sync them. As was also the case with the iPad 2 before the iOS5 times, BTW.)

Blackberry 8310 Curve randomly deletes text/sms messages and phone logs

Why does this keep happening to me?
There are times that my phone goes over a week without it happening and then there are times like today it has happened three times.
I will have maybe 5 ot 6 text messages in my inbox and maybe 2 or 3 emails and I get a phone call and POOF the text messages and phone logs are gone!
I have repeatedly lost important text messages and numbers from my call log.
The tech support excuse for it is that I have too many messages in my inbox which causes it, but 6 sms messages and 3 emails is too much?
I have tried everything (updating the desktop software, updating all of the settings NOT to delete messages until i delete them, hard booting my phone once a day, etc..) and it still does it.
This also used to happen with my Blackberry Pearl.
If I can't get it resolved, I will just switch to the iPhone. I can deal with the randomly dropped calls, but constantly loosing my call logs and text messages is BEYOND frustrating and Blackberry tech support has been no help!.
Solved!

DCmuseum,
Hi,
You have low free memory left on your device.
Do you have a lot of third party applications on your BB weather, icall,bbalerts etc?
I do not know your experience level, so if you know this I'm sorry but please read and let me
know if this applies.
Most people close the applications by pressing the escape or red key. This does not close the applications.
Each application has a CLOSE option. For instance if you are in the calendar hit the menu key (spotted key) and scroll down to the bottom CLOSE is listed. Go through each application and press close. Go into the browser press menu and options select cache operations clear all categories and hit escape it will say cleaning memory.
Go to options - security - memory cleaning - enable it. The BB will now clean memory when idle for 5 minutes.
you will have an icon on you screen for memory cleaning make sure you press it. Make sure you use the CLOSE button each time you are done with an application.
Read the link below and follow each step that Tanzim outlines,
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/board/message?board.id=8300&message.id=9225#M9225
If you follow these steps and keep up with your memory your phone will operate smoothly.
Please let us know if you need help with any of the steps.
Thanks

Creating a Video file to play on another laptop

Hi,
I'm trying to create a video to play at a show on another laptop in HD widescreen format..
I have always creadte DVD or Blueray and this custumer needs it on a Laptop.
I need to know what is the best codex to use for 1920x1080 HDTV output.
Thanks,
Malcolm

It depends a lot on how powerful the other laptop is. If it's got a fast processor, H.264 in an MP4 file is a good choice for playback on a computer, as long as you use a good player like VLC. Avoid Quicktime player.
There are other codecs for AVI files that require less powerful CPUs, but because it's HD footage you'll need a very fast hard drive for playback. Typical internal laptop hard drives @ 5400 rpm won't cut it, and neither will a USB 2.0 external drive. For external drives, a 7200 rpm eSATA drive is probably necessary for playing back lossless or near-lossless HD AVI files. I don't have any experience with USB 3.0 external drives.
The laptop will probably need an HDMI port to connect to the HDTV.

Skype for blackberry 8310

Hi!I have blackberry 8310 curve. Can I install and use skype?

hello,
there is no client from Skype that is available for Blackberry devices. But you can install a client from another software vendor that can connect to the Skype Network. Please read :

How can you create a playlist with music and music video and play those from same playlist through Apple TV?

How can you create a playlist on Ipod touch with music and music video, and play those from same playlist through Apple TV? I can download, create a playlist with both music and music video, stream that through the Apple TV with no problem. The sound and the information show up on the TV, but when it gets to a music video, it only shows the information and "artwork".
I also have a video playlist - videos play fine through the Apple TV, but will not shuffle through all videos - continues to repeat the same one. I have most definitely selected shuffle in both locations - from the playlist and on the ipod video screen while video is playing.

I finally got it... had to sync the photos with the music in iMovie, arrange the voiceover in GarageBand then export to iTunes, and then I was able to put it all together in iMovie and burn in iDVD... had a few glitches along the way but finally finished : )

Embed(?) video in page that plays on Blackberry

I have a need to take the embed [or not] code from YouTube, place it on a web page I am setting up in Dreamweaver CS4, and then it will play back the video. The page and video needs to play in Blackberry's browser. I tried doing a simple <embed> from YT into the page, but it will not play the video in Blackberry.
Any idea what I need to do?

Mp4 videos on my new bb 8330 curve do not play. How to make them play ?

I bought a new blackberry 8330 curve last week, but most of the mp4 videos that I had and play great on my palm centro, will not play at all on my new bb 8330. When trying to play them they either cause the player to blink and green "loading" to flash at top right of player screen but never play, or more often they dont play file while giving error message " An error has occurred attempting to play media".!
Anyone know why this happens. How to fix?
And everytime I click "enter" button to try to create space here typing in this forum post it bugs out and takes cursor to top of page, instead of doing what every normal enter command does by creating space below.
Also fix the stupid blocks to posting messages not allowing simple things like "to", "has" ..etc in tags and tiny limit to title subject.

First read this: Adding additional media format support to Quicktime:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3526
Download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer SP for Mac from:
http://www.real.com/realplayer/mac
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs. In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them), particularly any DivX extension to Safari. However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/en/software/mac/player

Blackberry 8310 not showing reply or send in sms text options menu

I have a blackberry 8310. iam able to recieve sms text messages but when i click to on options, there is no "reply" option in the menu for me to be able to reply to the text. The chip works fine in other phones so that tells me something in the phone is not set right. There is no option for me to even compose and fresh sms text message. Please help?

Here ya' go:
1. Get a good backup of your device: BB device backup (I keep all my backups in a separate folder created for that purpose so they are always in one place and easy to find.)
2. Download the most recent version of device software for your carrier: Downloading BB device software
3. Reinstall the device software: Clean reload of device software
4. Pull the battery out with the device ON. Wait about a minute and put the battery back in. Let the BB completely restart.
5. Once you have the device OS successfully installed you will then need to reinstall any 3rd party apps you currently have on your device: Install applications using the app loader tool
6. Complete another battery pull routine after each 3rd party app installation to reclaim memory and refresh your BB.
Let us know how it goes.

Can not access the media card files Blackberry 8310 - HELP

Can not access the media card files Blackberry 8310.
I had a battery drain problem. The unit would only last 16 hours before completely drained. Purchased a new battery with the same result. I figured that I should try a complete reset so I did a hard wipe. Once that was done and I loaded the unit back up and returned online, the battery drain problem was resolved but now I can not access the media card.
Here are the messages:
“A media card has been inserted that contains encrypted content which will be unaccessible by this device”
I can see the files. I have transferred them to my PC via the SD card but I can not open them. Here are the settings:
Media card support – ON
Encryption Mode: - Security Password & Device
Encrypt Media Files – YES
Mass Storage Mode Support – OFF
Please note – I can not change the encryption mode since it is set by policy
Security Options – General Settings – Content Protection – Disabled
The version of Desktop Manage I am using is 4.2.1.8. When I try to use the Media Manager to move the files, I get an error message and can’t move the file. If I access the file on the card and try to display it, I get:
Unable to display file /media card/ pictures/ing000000xx.jpg.rem
Here is what I have tried (from the advice on this board):
1)     Read the files directly off the media card – No good
2)     Create a “new” folder on the media card and move a file into it then try to read it – No good
3)     Email the file then read it – No good
4)     Reset Encryption mode to off then try – Can’t do it – IT Policy setting
5)     Be sure that the password was set the same as before the wipe (setting is password & device) – Can’t do it – The Blackberry prevents me from using an old password.
So I think I can’t read the files because I can’t replicate the encryption key. Could that be right? My problem is that I do not understand why this would be the case. It is still the same device and since it knows what the old password was (because it would prevent me from using it again), why would it not generate a key to access the files?
All I am trying to get off the card are pictures on my 6 year old … some are priceless. Can someone help me do this? One would think that this should not be this hard but from all the postings I have found, it seems that it is. And yes, shame on me for not moving the files before I did the reset (THAT will never happen again!) but this being unrecoverable is unconscionable given how many seem to find themselves in this situation.
Thanks for any help you can offer!

Not sure why you couldn't see them using mass storage mode. Did you have the pics stored on your media card? Try going to media-menu-explore-media card-blackberry-pictures See what the extension is on your pics. If any have the extension such as .jpg.rem they are encrypted.

How can I create a video with effects using my ipad?

How can I create a video with effects (sepia, B&W, Negative, oval or any other shape borders) using my ipad? I would Like to keep a higher res and also be able to shrink it down to email or send in a MMS. Or should I just upload it to my PC and mess with it there? Some of the apps I have are very easy to use compared to the learning curve needed for video editing software.
Thanks

Thats the Problem . . . how many apps do I have to try until I find the one I want? I noticed a few will render the video thus losing its original size. When I went to edit it more in iMovie the video was smaller--not good. And what software do you suggest, Templeton, for the PC? I love the apps because they are easy. I dont have hours to mess around on a software to figure out if its something I want. Im looking for simplicity. Maybe Ill get more into it later. I just want to record simple video of my playing the guitar for self analysis and create a short video for family and friends.
Apps:
iMovie
CinemaFXV
VideoFix
Cartoonatic
Video illusion
VidEditor
Software:
Windows Movie maker (wont accept .mov files)
After Effects (Too little time, so much to learn)
Wondershare (Very easy but little choices)
VideoPad (Again. Few choices)

How can you get 2 videos to play simutenously together?

How can you get 2 videos to play simutenously together so both are playing side by side on screen at the same time?

Welcome to the forum.
As Steve observes, what you are talking about is called "PiP," or Picture in Picture.
He has given you the basics of creating a "split-screen" PiP, and that should be exactly what you wish to do.
For more detail, plus more ways to do PiP, I strongly recommend his book, Cool Tricks & Hot Tips for Adobe Premiere Elements 11, from Muvipix. He has an entire chapter (Chapter 10) on PiP, and many of its uses, with detailed instructions on the settings to accomplish it. Just that one chapter is worth the price of the book.
Good luck, and happy editing,

How to stop video from playing?

Hi,
i have a problem that i've already see that is pretty usual, the videoplayer that i have works fine but when i click in a button to go to another page the videoplayer doesn't stop,the audio continues playing even when i'm not on the videoplayer page.

How to create a video slideshow in Adobe Muse

Hello there,
I'm new to Muse and have a general question about creating a slideshow using videos instead of images. More specifically, if my videos live on an external site (youtube or vimeo, for example). In an ideal situation, I will see thumbnails of each video within the Slideshow grid. When one is clicked, the go into Slideshow mode and the video starts playing. 'Next' or 'Previous' buttons act as navigation to play other videos. Really, I'd like the Slideshow widget to do exactly what it does with images, just with videos.
Thoughts?
I'm running the latest version of Muse CC on a beefed out Mac with Snow Leopard.
Thanks in advance,
Matt

Hello,
You can try the following work around with composition:-
1) Add a you tube video to the page.
2) Drag the video to the target of composition widget.
3) Resize the video to have the size of the target.
The triggers can have the images related to the videos so as to act as thumbnails for videos.

Using Adobe Premier Elements to create a video using the photos and it is make the photos blurry. Is there a setting to correct this?

as the subject states, i am suing Premier Elements pro to create a video using photos. The photos are clear then when you play the video they become blurry. I would guess there would be a way to correct this but not having much success. any helps would be great.

Thanks for the follow up. Right now I see details that do need addressing. For one, you are importing 3:2 photos into a project set for 16:9.
You still have not told us what version of Premiere Elements that you are using and on what computer operating system it is running. For now I will assume, Premiere Elements 13/13.1 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit. NTSC setup.
Please try the following as a mini test run (just a few of your photos) to determine if the Timeline photos present better in the Edit area and in an export.
1. Open Premiere Elements 13/13.1 to the Expert workspace and go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings.
2. In Change Settings, change the settings to
NTSC
DSLR
1080p
DSLR [email protected]
OK out of there.
3. In the New Project Dialog that now opens, rename the project and make sure that you have a check mark next to Force Selected Project Setting on This Project. OK out of there.
4. Back in the Export workspace, import your photos using Premiere Elements' Add Media/Files and Folders/Projects Assets from where you drag the photos to the Timeline. There will be an orange line over the Timeline content. Press the Enter key of the computer main keyboard. or the Render button above the Timeline to do Timeline rendering which will result in the best possible preview in the Edit area monitor.
Also, right click the Edit area monitor, select Playback Quality, and then determine if the "Highest" gives better results than "Automatic".
If all looks good, then let us look at the quality of a AVCHD.mp4 export of that Timeline....
Publish+Share
Computer
AVCHD
with Presets = MP4 - H.264 1920 x 1080p30.
Is the quality of the photos in this mini test run better, the same, or worse?
About your photos (3872 x 2592 3:2)...video is 4:3 or 16:9. So to avoid black borders, you could consider
a. cropping the originals from 3:2 to 16:9 before import
or
b. importing them as is and doing any needed scaling in the Edit area monitor
But, right now the focus is on image clarity rather than black borders.
Please review and consider.
Thank you.
