Does Codec make a difference ripping video from a CD to Ipod?

I see that DV codec is supported. Is this the same a DivX? The avi files I get need a divx converter. Before I break open my box only to be disappointed, I'd like to know if I'll be able to view the video I bought the Ipod for. Or is the original video codec irrelevant?
TIA
Dell   Windows XP  

Thanks for your help and sorry I wasn't clearer. I do actually have the video on a CD-ROM. I'm a bit rough with technicalities. I apologize. I have video in .avi format that I need a divx converter to watch. I see Ipod does support .avi files but I don't see in tech specs that divx converter is supported. I'm not sure which counts. I asked a salesperson today who told me that Ipod software supports anything in divx without needing even third party conversion. After reading much of these message boards, I'm suspicious of what the salesperson told me today.

    Yes, I know. Which is why I won't argue over it.   As I said I've never had an issue with it when travelling.
    And Apparently the purchase is working fine for the OP, its the actual download that gets hung up.
    Anyway, If the Purchase is going fine, then its more likely an issue with the internet connection.
    Are you on Cell service when trying to download rather than Wifi?

    Let me see if I can help you with the basic WDS configuration steps:
    Note: To help facilitate the setup, temporarily connect the AXn directly to the AEBS LAN port using an Ethernet cable. Once the setup is complete, you can move the AXn to the desired location. For all configuration steps you will be using the AirPort Utility. Before starting, be sure to jot down the AppleIDs for both base stations.

  • IPhone equalizer does not make a difference

    I set EQ presets to all my songs in iTunes. When I change the EQ settings on my iPhone (3.1) while listening to a song, it does not make any difference to the sound, regardless of the preset I choose.
    Any clues or suggestions? What is the difference between off and flat?
    Yvan

    is your mute switch turned on (above the volume) ?  remove case and screen protecter.
    is volume turned up?
    if so do this

    Please call apple @ 1-800-692-7753 in USA

    you may want to add a credit card to your iTunes account  before calling; so they will have a way to verify your identity.

    I have set up hotmail account on my 3gs... but when i tap on the account in settings it comes up as exchange not hotmail.  I still get my mail, does it make a difference??

    no.  Apple handles all warranty issues regardless if you purchased your phone at Sprint.

  • I am downloading a digital album and i have to choose between apple lossless, flac, and high quality mp3.  i am using itunes and i have a pc running windows 7  does that make a difference?

    I am downloading an album and I don't know which format to choose.  Flac, apple lossless, or high quality mp3.  I want to play it in itunes, on my iphone and i have a pc running windows 7.  Does that make a difference?

    Go with Apple Lossless.  It will play readily in iTunes vs. FLAC.  You can convert it later to mp3 if you wish but you cannot convert mp3 to ALE or FLAC and get back the quality that was lost.  You can also convert ALE to FLAC if you need to.

  • Can I download  video from iPhone 4s to iPod touch 2

    can I download  video from iPhone 4s to iPod touch 2?

    This what I've tried so far:
    Downloaded photos from the iPhone to the computer.  Videos and photos transferred without problem.
    Plugged in the iPod Touch (2) and all photos synced just fine, but no video appeared. 
    While the iPod was connected I looked In the menu bar of iPhoto, when I chose movies, none were listed.
    I cannot find an item listed in the settings menues that seem relevant.
    I have emailed the movies successfully from the iPhone 4s.

  • I cannot tranfer video from my macbook to ipod touch.

    I cannot tranfer video from my macbook to ipod touch, I drag and drop my video to my itunes from my movies folder on my macbook, but it flips back, thus I have nothing to sink to my ipod touch. i have followed the tutorials but nothing works, any advice would be great.

    Hi and welcome to Apple discussion.
    Usually, when I get this message, that means the movie/video is not able to be play using my iPod touch. So, what I'll do is that, I'll open the movie/video in QuickTime and share it to iTunes. Then, my movie/video can be transfer into my iPod.
    Hope that helps.
    Regards,

  • Ripping video from DVDs for FCP

    I want to create an assignment for students (I teach a very basic video editing ocurse) where students will rip some video from various commercially available DVDs to practice editing their own trailers together with scenes from the movies. In the educational environment it is legal to rip short clips of video from DVDs.
    I think I'm going to use MPEG Streamclip for doing this
    1. Does anyone have any tips for preparing ripped footage to make sure it looks good in a FCP sequence? Is there anything you should do with the footage in FCP to make it look good?
    Thanks.

    David is right. MPEG Streamclip will not rip commercial DVDs.
    It may well be legal in education to rip discs, however discussion of the process is not permitted here.
    Once you have that aspect sorted out...
    I have a tutorial for MPEG Streamclip here: http://www.secondchairvideo.com/?p=739

  • Hard Drive Placement -- Does it make a difference?

    Hi,
    I just got a new 2.66 Quad. It has the factory 1TB as a boot drive and a 1TB and 750 that came out of my old MacPro G5. I want to replace the 750 with a 1.5 and fill the empty bay with another 1.5. (I will partition the 1.5's so that I can use the external 750's I already own for external back ups.)
    Does the Mac care about the order in which I place the drives in the 4 bays? Am I correct that it will look in the front bay for the boot drive? (I know I can change boot drive in system preferences, but I'm curious as to whether the order in the bays makes any difference at all.)
    Thanks.

    The Hatter obviously did not read your post.
    I have a Dual-Quad-Core 2.93GHz Intel Xeon system. I upgraded from a G4-400 (Sawtooth). All Power PC applications run just fine, although they all use Rosetta technology to emulate the Power PC. Snow Leopard will allow you to optionally install Rosetta, so your applications are fine.
    Rosetta will require about double the system RAM per application that the application needed with a Power PC system. Intel-native applications and those written for either will not need the extra RAM. Intel-specific and Universal Binary applications will take better advantage of your system's processors.
    I have booted my Mac Pro from any one of three hard drives in four hard drive bays. My current system has a Leopard startup drive in the third bay, a Snow Leopard system in the fourth bay (for testing) and a Leopard system in the first bay. The first bay is the closest to the front of the computer. I have a 1.5T aftermarket WD drive in the second bay that is my Time Machine drive. First bay has the Apple-installed 1T drive. Third bay has a 1T SATA drive out of my G4-400 system (which I installed an SATA drive controller card into so that I could move to SATA). Fourth bay has a .5T SATA drive (originally in my G4-400) that I use for testing purposes and any beta testing I am doing.
    Your Mac Pro will also start from an external drive chassis, assuming you have an e-SATA or Fibre card installed in your Mac Pro (and I have done that a couple of times).
    To determine what drive should automatically start your computer, open *System Preferences* and click on *Startup Disk*. Any drive with a valid System Folder will appear in the list of drives, as well as a "network startup" icon (that will have a question mark if your system cannot see a network boot configuration). It is this preference that will determine the order in which your system will try to find a valid System Folder.

  • How can one use one specific security realm per application ? The realm-name attribute of the login-config tag of web.xml does not make any difference

    Hi,
    I have different sets of users coming from different databases and using different
    roles mapping for each of my web applications. I would like to configure a specific
    security realm per application in my weblogic server 7.0 . Is it possible ?
    I try to specify the realm-name of the login-config tag from the web-xml deployement
    descriptor but it doesn't make any difference. The default realm is always used.
    I also would like to tell the Weblogic server to use the default realm in case
    the realm isn't specified or isn't found. For example, the default would contains
    my admin users.
    Thanks a lot for your answer.
    Iz

    I thik this is a common mistake the ralm-name tag in the deployment descriptor is used
    just by the browser for display purposes (when it opens the basic auth dialog box) so as
    of now there is only 1 active realm which can have multiple providers as Kevin pointed
    out
    Kevin Lewis wrote:
    WebLogic 7 now ignores the realm-name tag (I found that out yesterday).
    My understanding is that there is only one realm active at a time for a domain
    (I would be interested in being contradicted in this).
    However, you can have multiple providers in each category of a realm: authentication,
    authorization, etc. Therefore, what you can do is key authentication, et al,
    off of some other information. We have our users enter their company, for example,
    and use the TextInputCallback to get it. You could also encode something in the
    initial page, based on the URL they hit, or whatever, and get that back in your
    callback.
    You can store that information in your own Principal implementation, and key off
    of that in your authorization provider, going to a different database as appropriate,
    or abstaining when a specific provider doesn’t have anything to say about a subject.
    Anyway, there should be a way to do it, even if it's more complex than you would
    have hoped.

  • Does anyone know how to delete Videos from an iPhone 5? iphoto won't do it and the phone provides no option.

    Hi,
    I keep running out of space on my iphone 5 because there is a bunch of video content on there that I can't get rid of. I imported these videos into iPhoto sometime ago, however I think I probably didn't select to delete them once imported at the time. I've deleted all of the images and vids from the camera roll section however, but the videos are still on the phone under "Videos" where I can view them and select them, but it gives no option to delete them.
    It would be great to know if there's a work around that doesn't involve restoring the device.
    Kind Regards,
    Claire

    If you synched these videos from your computer the only way to delete them is to sync again with the videos unselected in iTunes.

  • Is it better to load several apps at the same time, or one at a time? Does it make a difference?

    I have replaced the "Login Items" functionality with an Automator app that runs when I log in. It asks if I want to load all my startup items now, or just cancel it. I have several startup items, including some utility apps, but also bigger apps like Safari and iTunes.
    I currently do this by "Get Specified Finder Items" providing a list of the apps, and then "Open Finder Items," opening all of them at once so they are all loading up simultaneously. I then wait for a while until my CPU has calmed down and everything is ready to go (which is the reason for moving them to an Automator workflow in the first place; I can cancel loading if I don't want to wait).
    Would it be better to open one, wait for it to load, open the next, etc.? Would this have any effect on performance as far as either the time it takes to load up or the efficiency of the computer as it operates with all of these things loaded?
    Just curious. It would be difficult to actually test, since i imagine the difference would be small if any.

    I don't think it makes any difference.

  • QuickTime Pro 7.0 takes forever to convert video from Windows Media to Ipod

    Hi,
    I just got a new IPOD Video 60GB and to tell you the truth, i'm not one bit impressed with this product; to give you my honest opinion, i'm disappointed in the purchase and would not recommend this to anyone unless someone can provide me with a solution to the problem.
    Simply put, i'm trying to get some video clips on my new IPOD and i can't. I tunes won't let me for some reason, i do not know. I can get music fine, have not tried photos's as yet.
    Anyway, the problem is, whenever I try to convert using Quick Time Pro 7.0 from WMV (Windows Media Format) to IPOD format (MPEG4), it takes extremly long. I mean seriously outragesly long. To give you an idea, I started a conversion of a 68MB file at 5:25PM, it is now 6:24PM and it's only completed about 45% of the file.
    Is Apple insane??? who is going to wait 2-4 hrs to convert 1 simple video clip? I need to find an alternative solution otherwise i'm going to complain to Apple, and if i don't get my resolution to this problem fast, I will complain to the Better Business Bureau in Canada about this. This is such a scam. Why do i have to buy Quick Time Pro 7.0 just so i can upload video? I should be able to do this through windows directly.
    Anyone that can help please let me know.
    If i don't find something by the end of the year, you can be sure that Apple will be hearing from me in one form or another about this purchase. I spent over $600 on the company on a product that should be simpler to use than this.

    QuickTime Pro does not play .wmv files. It doesn't export them without some other third party software.
    Try reading the steps and supported file formats before your complain about what it does, or doesn't, do.
