Handbrake Video Conversion Question

I tried to convert a DVD to .mp4 on Handbrake program, when I try to sync to iPhone 3g it says it can't copy because it can't be played on this iPhone. Any ideas or answers please?
Thank you

Maybe the file type is incorrect. Make sure when using handbrake you select the iphone pre-set from the drop down menu on the right. Alternatively you can try right clicking the file and convert it to a format suitable for iphone if it gives you that option.

Video Conversion Questions

Am having a couple of problems with video conversion for the Apple TV.
I had to reset and install OSX a few months back, now when I use FFMPEGX to convert some AVI files to H264 it is writing the audio and video as seperate files, cant understand why its suddenly doing this as worked fine before, anyone got any ideas?
Secondly, If I try to use Quicktime, Flip4mac writes that it was done with a trial version all over the video output, but I have the Pro Version of Quicktime so can't understand why it uses flip4mac at all, isnt Quicktime supposed to do this by itself, and is there a way round this, short of buying flip4mac?

Sounds like FFMPEG is doing this. Check the source codecs and/or your default/manual settings. Some conversions may require an intermediate conversion in which the audio and video are first "demuxed" and placed in separate files which are them converted to the final compression formats and then merged to a single file.

While QT recognizes the AVI file container (i.e., AVI is not a compression format), you must have the same codecs to make the file (many combinations are possible) playable and/or convertible to a fully supported QT compression format. QT does not supply proprietary interleaved codecs and you must install your own. DivX, Flip4Mac, Perian, etc. all have codecs that play different codecs that may be contained in the AVI container. As long as there are no conflicts, then everything works fine. In some cases, however, two or more components may be able to play/convert the same codec. In this event, QT seems to call the handler which was last installed. If this is the case, then you may be able to remove/re-install codecs in a different order which satisfies your needs. In other cases, the codec in question may only be supplied one of the third-party providers and you have no choice but to use their product. Some of the providers allow you to play the codecs in question but require you to purchase conversion decoders and/or decoders separately. (E.g., DivX and Flip4Mac.) Whether or not you purchase these products depends on how badly you want to convert the file in question.

[REQ] Handbrake -- Video conversion tool.

Should become very popular with the 5G iPod coming out soon.
http://handbrake.m0k.org/index.php
(cvs pkgbuild would be nice, since there's no source for the current version, and the last stable before that seems to be kinda old)

And on the the video encoding front, is there any nice frontend to ffmpeg that allows for easy transcoding between various formats?
There's ffmpegx ( http://homepage.mac.com/major4/ ) but it isn't free, and it's for mac. Are there any good alternatives?

Itunes video conversion question/confusion

Hey guys,
If I have a movie for appletv at 720p in my itunes movie folder, and convert it for use for the ipod or iphone.. does that mean I loose the 720p file? Or does it make two files, one of each quality? Confused
Thanks
Mo

No, you won't loose the original unless you delete it. Conversion makes a copy.

Video Conversations with PC

I found similar questions, but I still am not clear on this topic. How can an iMac have a video conversation with people using PC's?? (Without having to pay for AOL on their side {AIM}, or having to sign up with AOL or Javver on my side).
iMac & MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9)
iMac & MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hi,
AIM is actually free to use for both Mac and Windows PC.
(There's no need to sign up for the AOL service). You can register for an AIM screen name on this page. Once you have registered, ignore it when it asks you do download the AIM client. Instead, configure iChat with your new screen name.
As an alernative to iChat, you could use Skype, which is a free download for Mac and PC.
Both programs have their ins and outs. I would suggest trying both to see which one works best. I hope this helps!
Thanks,
Glen

Problem in DAM video conversion

Hi,
I am using Webcenter Content 11.1.1.8.0 and I configured IBR for video conversion.
When I uploadmp4 video file, I am getting below error,
Content item 'Content000242' was not successfully checked in. Unable to set the default rendition set for DAM conversion
I have seen the below instructions in documentation that I need to update config file.
1. Open the following directory of your Content Server instance:
<IntradocDir>/config/
2. Open the config.cfg file in a standard text editor.
3. Under the #Additional Variables section, add DefaultVideoConversionSet and set
it equal to the factory you want as the default rendition set. The default must
match a rendition set in the choice list of the VideoConversions metadata field,
defined using the Configuration Manager applet.
4. Save changes to the config.cfg file and close the file.
5. Restart Content Server
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e10800.pdf
Pg 85 and 86.
What is the value I should put in config. file.
DefaultVideoConversionSet = {What Value Goes Here}.
Please let me know if I need to do any other configuration.
Thanks

Hi Kumar ,
I think the same question is posted here :

DAM: video conversion alternatives to FlipFactory

Hi all,
my goal is to implement a video conversion solution using UCM+DAM.
As an alternative to FlipFactory i found info on how to configure and use FFMpeg (gpl license).
I have 2 questions:
- are there any alternative to FFMpeg?
- what are the limitations of FFMpeg versus FlipFactory?
Thanx in advance
F.

Hello!
I'm interesting for the video conversion with FFmpeg. Can you show me info on how to configure and use FFMpeg, please?
Thanks,
Viktor

Video Conversion with current version of VLC

Hello World.
So far I have found some tutorials about converting videos to the iPod nano (4th generation).
All of them were for old versions of the VLC media player.
As there have been major changes in the last VLC releases I was not able to transfer the "old" tutorial steps into the new VLC player.
Does anybody know how video conversion is done with the current VLC version?
Thank you!
sega

Hello therealsega,
Have you looked on VLC's Wiki page for any such tutorials?
If nothing else, I would try using another converter such as [MPEG Streamclip|http://www.squared5.com> or [Handbrake|http://handbrake.fr>. They are fairly easy to use and usually produce wonderful results.

Best video conversion app for 2009 mac pro?

hi, i just bought a 2009 2.66ghz quad-core mac pro, and as i have 4 cores (or 8 virtual cores with HT), i wanted some video conversion app that really uses the 8 cores. Can someone suggest me what app is the best for multicore?
thanks!!

For multicores I have no idea, (even though I have a Pro), I don't think many of the apps made are written to take advantage of multicore computers. That said you've not mentioned any formats that you really need it to handle so any suggestions made may be a little hit and miss.
The two I use are Handbrake and Visual Hub.

HT3775 This info is not helping. I am using VC500MAC digital video conversion system to record old VHS tapes to computer. The file is .mov, but quicktime is not playing it back. Help, please.

Sorry for this question. Can you use this device with Vlc or QuickTime? Does skype support it? Is this device supported only by its own software?
I need a device that can work with my own software. My software can work only with a QuickTime supported device.
Thanks if you will reply to me.

How can I change the default video conversion applied when I copy an AVI file from my PC to my Android HTC One M8 phone?

Here's the situation...
I have an Android HTC One M8 phone which I connect via USB cable to my PC, then I use Windows Explorer to drag and drop an AVI file from my PC onto a target folder on the phone. When I would do this after I had first purchased my phone a message box
would come up with the heading "Convert and Copy" and ask me "Do you want to convert <filename> before it's copied to your device?" and give me the options "Yes, convert and copy (recommended)" or "No, just
copy Your file will be copied, but might not play on your device."
If I chose to convert it converted the file to MP4. No problem, that's what I wanted.
The problem I now have is that after doing some work with other video applications a while ago where I was outputting WMV files I now find that the default conversion for the above described copy from PC to Android phone now converts files to WMV.
I simply want it to go back to converting video files copied to my phone as MP4, but I can't seem to find where I can set this!
It appears that the copy/conversion process in Explorer is being handled in the "Portable Devices Shell Extension" dll - WPDSHEXT.DLL
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to set the default video conversion back to MP4 ???
Thanks

Thanks Rob.
I actually had no clue what the core problem was caused by. So it's Windows itself...that helps some.
I'll resubmit there. It might actually have saved time for it to simply have been moved to there instead of off-topic, though I suppose you have to follow protocol.
