Got the latest Intermediate Codec..?

I just did my monthly(?) trip to Software Update, and found Apple Intermediate Codec (..1.0.1, I think..) which is an update to the codec supplied with iMovie HD ("iLife '05") and with Final Cut Express HD.
After installing this, my Mac mini more easily (..seemingly? ..co-incidentally?..) recognised that a Sony HC1 hi-def camcorder was connected.
Although the Mini previously recognised streaming HDV coming from the camera (..i.e; camera switched to 'Record' mode, not Playback mode..) and displayed the video on iMovie HD's screen (..but with the usual severe lag, while the video was changed from MPEG to Intermediate Codec..) the Mini had previously needed two or three shots at recognising the camera when the cam was switched to 'Play' for importing.
The Mini now instantly recognises the camera when the cam is set to Play, and imports as soon as the Import button's clicked ..though still with the normal severe, half-speed-import delay while the incoming video's transcoded to DV/intermediate codec. (Mac mini: 1.42 GHz PowerPC G4)
Of course; one thing may have nothing to do with the other, and it may have been something entirely different which has made recognition now instant (..I also downloaded and installed the 10.4.3 upgrade [..it had been 10.4.2 on this Mini..] and a Java update, three scones and a pot of strawberry jam.
But it may be worth a try if you're still having recognition problems - with, say, a G5 iMac or PowerMac or other machine - and you haven't yet upgraded your Intermediate Codec.
..Just thought I'd pass it on, for what it may be worth..

Hey skyshade13,
Thanks for the question. The following article outlines how to restore a previous iTunes library should there be no content after updating. While the article does not speak specifically to your symptoms, attempting the steps by utilizing the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder may resolve your issue.

Do you have iOS 5.1.1 on your original iPad? If not update the iOS.
You might also try quitting the app and then reset the pad.
Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
Still no joy? Delete the Keynote app, reset the iPad and then reinstall Keynote. You will not have to pay for downloading it again.

Got the latest Itunes (11, I think) and now it says that 'Itunes.itl isn't working because it's a newer version of Itunes' and when I go to my older Itunes, the F7, F8 and F9 buttons won't work. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Okay, so I got the latest update and apparently it doesn't work. I had an icon on my desktop that wouldn't open because the 'newer Itunes' is apparently corrupt or something. Going into my applications, I found another Itunes icon and it opens up, but not the F7, F8 and F9 keys aren't working with it. I've already tried installing the latest version and that hasn't helped. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Transparency with the Apple Intermediate Codec

Hi Guys
I was wondering if anyone out there could enlighten me.
I am rendering a series of clis to be played back in a live TV show and I need these clips to be "transparent". I am rendering them with the Animation Codec but I am reaching a point where I really need to lower my bitrate.
Somoene told me recenlty that the Apple Intermediate codec renders clips with transparencies at lower bitrates.
I am trying to render some of my clips that way but whatever I do I cannot seem to see on the render dialogue the possiblility of chosing RGB+Alpha because I cannot choose higher than Millions of Colors.
What am I missing?
Thanks for your help.
MMiguel

I don't think that the Apple Intermediate Codec supports alpha channels.
I'm a little confused about why you need alpha channel (transparency) in somethng being played back live, but I'll assume that you know your requirements.
Tell us more about what you need, and how this movie needs to be played back, and we cna make recommendations.

Help. Just got the latest and greatest ipod touch. When trying to setup icloud, my email address is verified but when I touch settings, icloud, account tries unsuccessfully to verify account.

Help. Just got the latest and greatest ipod touch. When trying to setup icloud, my email address is verified but when I touch settings, icloud, account tries unsuccessfully to verify account.

Why am I sometimes asked to verify my Apple ID by email?
When you create a new Apple ID or make certain changes to your account, Apple will require you to sign in by following the link in a verification email. This is to help protect your identity and keep your account secure. Some Apple services, such as FaceTime and GameCenter, require email validation.
How do I verify my Apple ID by email?
Simply follow the link in the verification email that says "Verify Now." Sign in with your current Apple ID and password, then click Verify Address. You can also verify by signing in at My Apple ID. You'll receive an email prompting you to verify.

How to avoid the Apple intermediate codec on AVCHD

Hi everyone,
In case you want to work directly with your AVCHD shots instead of having them recoded to the Apple intermediate codec (AIC) format (which takes up huge amounts of space), just read this blog entry:
http://joeshaw.org/2010/04/10/655
Especially the second ffmpeg command line shown there:
ffmpeg -i input-file.m2ts -ab 256k -vcodec copy -acodec aac output-file.mp4
shows how to repack an m2ts / mts file to mp4 without recoding the video (audio is converted from ac3 to aac). The resulting mp4 video may then be imported to iMovie and will NOT be recoded to AIC.
Be warned: iMovie then makes heavy use of your CPU when working with this files. At least on my Macbook I frequently see the spinning ball. So you should have a powerful machine or a large cup of patience ...
At least this explains why Apple uses the AIC when importing AVCHD data.
Hope to help
Yours
Wolfii

Hi there,
ok, here the step by step instructions:
1. Download AirVideo Server from here:
http://www.inmethod.com/air-video/download/Air%20Video%20Server%202.4.0.dmg
and install it to your applications folder. You now have a suitable version of ffmpeg available at "/Applications/Air Video Server.app/Contents/Resources"
2. When your Camera is connected, Mac OS X should show an additional volume. With Finder, search this volume for the directory that contains files named *.MTS (or *.M2TS). Note down the directory, we need it for the following little script.
3. Open a terminal window and type in the following:
cd /Volumes/...
(where your MTS files are located, e.g. something like /Volumes/CANON/AVCHD/BDMV/STREAM)
for a in *.MTS
do
"/Applications/Air Video Server.app/Contents/Resources/ffmpeg" -i $a -ab 256k -vcodec copy -acodec aac ~/Movies/${a%%MTS}mp4*
done
If everything is done correctly, you should find a bunch of mp4 files in your personal Movies folder afterwards.
Depending on your camera, you might need to change MTS into M2TS in the above script (at two places).
Be warned: This script will overwrite existing files with identical names in your Movies folder, so maybe it is a good idea to use an individual subfolder for each run.
Maybe somebody else reading this is able to provide an automator script.
Yours sincerely
Wolfii

Quick Time Player don't read the Apple Intermediate Codec

Hi there:
I have updated to Mavericks and now Quick Time Player don't read the Apple Intermediate Codec, needs convert the movie to Apple ProRess 422.
I've installed Final Cut. Any ideas?

What are your goals. If playback is all you want, use the QT 7, MPEG Streamclip, MPlayerX, Flip Player, or any other app that plays content using your system's AIC, Animation, PNG, DV stream, etc. codec configuration which QT Player X v10.3 now only uses as conversion assets. As to what is happening here, it would seem that Apple has now added a full encode/decode codec to the default system codec component configuration under Mavericks which may be replacing AIC as the default "poor man's" standard codec for for HD content. As to editing apps, iMovie v10.0 still accepts and natively uses AIC for editing projects but zI am not using FCP X, so I cannot make any comments regarding its compatibility.

Airplay has quit working. I've got the latest updates. No apple products will connect to it.

Airplay has quit working. I've got the latest updates. No apple products will connect to it. Any ideas?

Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.
If you are still having problems, the following article(s) may help you.

What is the best intermediate codec in Premiere CS5?

I have recently transitioned from using FinalCut to Premiere Pro CS5. Previously, I would exort to Apple prores from FinalCut as an intermediate codec for an uncompressed file. I was wondering if Adobe has an intermediate codec equivelant to Apple Prores, or if I should just use the prores codec in Adobe Premiere Pro ?????
help! thanks!

Got it. Uncompressed will obviously give you the best quality in the shortest amount of time and be the most flexible, but will occupy the most space. Depending on the duration of your edit, that could be a pretty sizable file. Depending on your needs and the platform you're using (Mac, from what I gather), there are some other options that are minimally or losslessly compressed.
On a PC, you could look into Lagarith or Ut Video Codec--both are free, but PC only. On a Mac, you might consider the Avid DNxHD QuickTime codecs, which are also free, and have the added benefit of being cross-platform. If you have FCP on your Mac, ProRes would be a viable choice, and is at least readable on a PC. Some folks use QuickTime PNG, since that would also be available cross-platform and will already be included once you've installed QuickTime.
You've got choices
