Help converting video to new

Hi, i've been trying to convert videos to my zen with over 0 programs,
and only one worked...sorta. And it the the creative zen video converter,
but it would only work if i chopped off the sides of the video, or have very, very small viewing.
Some of the ap
ps.
i've used are super, slysoft, daniusoft, blaze, avs.
If anyone knows anymore converters, that are free,
and allow custom output settings to use like super please let me know.
Also if im simply using the wrong settings please let me know also.

i have xillsoft video converter 3 (full) which is good as you can set all the parameters manually, however i've found that the creative vid converter is the best (and you can set the quality as well) - the only prob with it came when converting .flv's (off youtube) to a standard wmv using youtube downloader then to wmv using the creative video converter - i got severe quality loss but im working on it..
have you experimented with different file types? i stick to wmv for compatibility but i lifted this from a review on the zen:
"The player's codec supports DivX4/5, XviD5, MPEG-/2/4SP, and WMV9 as well as Motion-JPEG. (if they are below 720x576)"
try playing around with it, just keep the bitrate below 786. If youre ripping dvds, use **illegal software** and select "*.wmv general pocket pc" as the output type - works a treat

  • Do you need help converting videos?

    I noticed alot of people are having trouble converting videos on itunes. Itunes does not seem to want to do this and when it does it usally has no sound(or maybe I use windows and itunes dosen't like that. So if a super genuis could post somthing that would be amazing but for the time being go to http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/ that works great but it slows down your computer a ton.

    First of all get out of these forums. Second of all I agree with Gareth. What you are doing undermines the abilities of future developers and the trust placed by employers on their potential recruits.
    It is about time SAP introduced a "spam report" functionality in these forums. Either that, or make it harder for people to register. It is unfortunate, but necessary in order to preserve some level in these forums.

  • Need Help Converting Videos

    I am trying to Convert some music videos to play on my iPod but when I click "convert Selection for iPod" iTunes will shut down. Also if I try to convert them in QuickTime it does the samething and shuts Quick Time down. I have reinstalled iTunes and Quick Time and also updated Windows with all the latest updates but still no luck. Any ideas what to try now? Thanks for any help.

    Hi Linda, While its good to have Quicktime Pro in your arsenal of video eiting tools, it has it's limitations. May I suggest going here and down loading the trial of this software. The software will convert most file types except Real media (RM) files. It is also available for download purchase or in one of the stores listed.

  • Need Help Converting Video

    Hello - I have a couple of separate questions that I need help with.  I know basic FCP.  I have FCP7.  I recently shot a wedding with 2 different cameras.  Both are HiDef Cameras.  1 Camera is a Prosumer Camera where the files were taking off the camera and imported by Final Cut.  The second is a new, home camcorder which saved the files into a hard drive in MPEG 4 format.
    I need to marry the two.  I can import the all the files (from both cameras) directly into the timeline.  But the ones from the camcorder (the mpeg4s) seem to have that "hitchy" feel to them when I play them back.  Also, both types of files (even the ones that were directly imported into Final Cut from the Prosumer Camera) have the "render" lines when they are in the timeline, so I constantly have to render which takes forever. 
    The files that were imported directly into FCP from the ProSumer camera were imported on a different computer with a different version of FCP, so when I drag them into my timeline it tells me that they were from a different version and asks me if I want to update for my version.  If I click YES then it stretches the files from 16:9 to 4:3.  If I say NO then it keeps the 16:9 aspect ratio, but adds yet another layer of render I need to do.
    Normally I do simple, Standard Def edits where I import things into the timeline via FCP7 with firewire from a deck and edit directly from there, then firewire back to the deck.  Simple - no rendering, etc.  My questions are as follows:
    1 - Do I need to reset my timeline settings because I am now working with HiDef?  Or does FCP automatically know that it is HD and it doesnt matter how I drag it into the timeline?
    2 - Do I need to convert the MPEG 4 files to quicktime format, or does it not make a difference
    3 - When I export, what settings would I use to keep it in HiDef.  I am only going to make DVDs with it.
    4 - Is there a way to do it so that I do not have to render constantly while editing
    5 - To view, I am firewiring out to a deck which is then going into a Standard Def monitor.  Is that the reason the footage appears "hitchy"?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.  If you have any help, please drop me a note at [email protected]
    Thanks

    YOu need to learn how to use FCP.  Sorry, no offense needed, and I know it sounds harsh. But from reading that I can tell you have no idea about how to properly import tapeless media into FCP...and don't know what formats FCP works with...nor know what formats the cameras record.  This is all basic stuff you need to know before you edit.  Editing isn't only creative, but lately highly technical as well...you need to know what your software is capable of doing, and how to get the footage into it properly. 
    You cannot do what you did...directly drag from the cameras into FCP.  No...it needs to be imported, typically with LOG AND TRANSFER...and converted from the shooting format, which typically isn't natively editable in FCP (want native, use Adobe Premiere...).  It needs to be converted to ProRes.  And yes, the file sizes of ProRes are a LOT bigger than the camera originals.  4-5 times larger.  That's how FCP works.
    Here's a quick tutorial to get you started.  But then I suggest getting to know the editing system better.

  • Need help converting video format

    Ok, so I finally purchased dvd+r's for my mac and I want to start making dvds with iDVD5. What I really want to do is start making dvds for lost season 2. I have purchased all the available episodes with itunes and they are in mv4 format. I allready made a killer main menu screen and now I want to add the episodes to my project. I'm having lots of trouble doing this tho. I presume this is because the videos are in the wrong format, but this is also the first time I have ever used idvd so I may be missing something simple. If anyone has any ideas, tips or hints they will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance to whoever helps me.

  • TS4223 Help getting videos on new nanos!

    I tried going through these steps to get the children's tv shows I purchased on nanos. I deleted the shows from my library, unchecked the "download HD version" box in the itunes store, and re-downloaded from the cloud, but all of my tv shows are still HD. What am I missing?

    Where is your computer's backup?
    Did you lose all important data or just your iTunes library?
    The iPod Touch and iPad are not designed or intended to be backup storage devices.
    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, or iPod, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    First you need to re-authorize your computer with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.
    With your iPod Touch connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPod Touch.
    Repeat with your iPad.
    Next, invest in an external drive to be used for backup puposes only and include your iTunes library with your computer's backup along with all other important data - documents, photos, etc.
    It isn't a matter of if but when the same will happen again with Windoze.

  • Need help getting video to play in keynote on new iPad

    Successfully imported a video to new iPad ( asa m4p )  it looks and sounds good in photo stream, but when I bring it into Keynote the audio is gone... What's up?  Help please!

    Hi Klaus,
    Thank you for the reply. However, that was not the cause.
    After a grueling 13 hours yesterday I figured out a way to get the files to work. According to the iDVD site (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/6732.html)"MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 files, QuickTime VR movies, and movies with sprite or Flash tracks cannot be added."
    My solution was to convert every single video file through iMovie. I imported the mpgs and exported them into mp4s. I now have sound on computer files and on DVD player.
    How extremely complicated.

  • Is there a procedure to open keynote 09 files with videos in the new Keynote without converting videos?

    is there a procedure to open keynote 09 files with videos in the new Keynote without converting videos?
    I have a big presentation with many video mov and avi files created with Keynote 09. When trying to open the file in the new Keynote the procedured crashes and Keynote crashes abruptly. It seens that an avi file is not converted. I have no more the old Keynote 09. How can this problem be solved?

    if you right click or control click on the file, do you get an option to 'show package contents'?
