Help with video files

Hi,
I have an IPOD 60GP Video, and when I add videos to it they are sometimes hidden...
I've found that if I tell iTunes that the video is a "TV Show" and I put it on the ipod, I can't see it.
If I put that same video to "Movie" or "Music Video" then i can see it in the ipod display, and view it.
Is there any way to be able to label it as a "TV Show" (I want to use this as misc. files) and still be able to view them on the ipod? It seems there should be since they only give you three options to classify a video as, and one is "TV Show"...
Thanks

No, sorry. The only video files that can (will) be listed as TV Shows are TV Shows bought directly through iTunes; one's that are labeled as a TV Show by default.
Hope this helps.

Quicklookd slowing down Leopard with video files

For some reason whenever I'm trying to open a folder with video files, add a video to a project or just open a video, I get the spinning beachball for quite a while before anything happens. This makes using iDVD impossible, Toast almost unbearable and general use of my mac quite annoying. Looking at processes on istat, quicklookd seems to be using 70-80% of the processor, sometimes higher. I could understand if I were using a slow computer but this is on my iMac Core 2 Duo 2.8GHz. The files tend to be .avi - either xvid or divx if that's helpful.
Would be enormously grateful for any advice. Thanks.

Can some help with CR2 files ,Ican`t see CR2 files in adobe bridge

can some help with CR2 files ,I can`t see CR2 files in adobe bridge when I open Adobe Photoshop cs5- help- about plugins- no camera raw plugins. When i go Edit- preference and click on camera raw shows message that Adobe camera raw plugin cannot be found

That's strage. Seems that the Camera Raw.8bi file has been moved to different location or has gone corrupt. By any chance did you try to move the camera raw plugin to a custom location?
Go To "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS5\File Formats" and look for Camera Raw.8bi file.
If you have that file there, try to download the updated camera raw plugin from the below location.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5371&fileID=5001
In case you ae not able to locate the Camera Raw.8bi file on the above location, then i think you need to re-install PS CS5.

Help with add file name problem with Photoshop CS4

Frustrating problem: Help with add file name problem with Photoshop CS4. What happens is this. When I am in PS CS4 or CS3 and run the following script it runs fine.

Help with mutiple files produced by sharing video to Itunes

Hi All,
As I continue to learn I am looking for some help. After importing DV video and then creating a movie in Imovie08 I shared the movie with Itunes. Looking through all the video files there are now two copies of everything on the drive..
Copy #1 is in- movies/imovie/sharing/itunes/filename.mv4
Copy #2 is in-music/itunes music/ movies/filename.mv4
The questions are can I delete the one in the Itunes music file? what can I do to prevent this in the future?
Thanks
GE

First most of the movies I am making are over 1gb so having two copies is not really an option as I will soon run out of space.
Most people would agree and it is not necessary to do if both copies are "standalone" files. Yours are.
when I checked get info for both files they were the same size so no reference smaller file as I have seen with the projects.
This merely confimrs that both files are, indeed, "standalone" copies and that iTunes is operating with the default preference to physically copy imported/added files to your iTunes Library wherever that might be located.
I was able to go into Itunes in the advanced and tell it not to copy to Itunes (thanks again) when sharing. On the most recent shared project this has eliminated the file in Itunes music but saved to the movie, imovie sharing, itunes ...File. When I open I tunes it did pick up the movie and sync with my apple TV. So far so good. My question now is why not leave like this?
You can leave it like this and that is one of the things mentioned previosly when I cautioned you that in this mode you could not then delete the shared folder copy of your video. Basically you have to options.
1) The first is to leave your standalone files physically in their original stored location and copy a "reference" pointer (like an alias) to iTunes. This method of operating keeps your iTunes Library relatively small but leaves your main "standalone" files scattered anywhere on any of your hard drives depending on how/where they were created/stored.
2) The second is to use the iTunes default setting as it was, physically copy the files to the iTunes Library, and then delete the "sourcing" or "intermediate" file which is no longer needed. This work flow "consolidates" all of your video files to single, known area but means your iTunes Library can become quite large.
The option you choose is up to you. I prefer the second option as I have an external 1 TB drive dedicated exclusively for use as my iTunes Library. In this manner all of my files are located in a known location and I can keep my internal start-up drive (and all other drives) relatively free of "clutter" by deleting video files from their source location as soon as I have imported them to iTunes. And, since I know where the file are located, I still maintain normal access to them for any "file" level operations (e.g., posting to any of my web sites/servers, sharing with friends/family via e-mail, QT Link files, and "reference" files, etc. Basically I use iTunes for the "physical" management of my videos for distribution to iPod, iPhone, and TV devices; iTunes, Front Row, and QT Player viewing; as well as, a central storage point for file level operations such as e-mail (standalone, reference, or QTL), site/server upload source, peer-to-peer distribution, etc. This works for me but may or may not suit another user's particular needs.
One suggestion earlier was to delete the Movie/Imovie sharing file. While this makes sense I would have to manually transfer it in or share to both then delete it.
The "sharing to iTunes" by iMovie is "automated." The deletion of extraneous files is not. Since iMovie does not know whether you are using iTunes manage your files physically, it cannot be pre-programmed to automatically delete the "shared" file without risking it will "orphan" the reference sent to/stored in iTunes. That is why the deletion is left to the user as a manual option.
Why not leave the flow the way it is. Will I later have some issue with I tunes? Or is the potential to over write the information if I adjust the project the issue?
As previously stated, you can use iTunes in this preference mode. While I doubt there would be any potential for accidental "overwites," there are other possibilities. Besides offending my sense of proper organization, there is the potential for such "scattered" files to be accidentally deleted in error. Also, there is always the possibility that someone might "move" the "standalone" file to a different location on the same or a different hard drive. In either instance, your iTunes file pointer would likely be "orphaned" and the content would no longer be availalable until or unless a valid path were restored. In addition, having files scattered all over your drives makes backing them up a bit of a chore. By consolidating all of my videos and music physically as I do, it is much easier to automatically "back them up" using another external drive and either Time Machine or other such software -- something to consider after doing all that work creating your files. What is best for you will depend on you specific work flows, needs, and concepts. There is no right or wrong here but merely what works best for you.

Help with .MTS files

Hi all
I am sure this has been asked many times, but I really know very little at all about video files and have tried a few things already.. but my lack of skill / understanding isn't helping!
I have some .MTS footage filmed at uni that I need to very simply edit (cut and join different clips). I brought the .MTS files home on my memory stick as I thought, yay, iMovie time! When iMovie didn't recognise the files, I thought I'd have a go with FCPX trial version, which I thought was bound to be able to handle them, as surely such flashy software can handle HD stuff... Alas, no, and I'm gutted.
I have tried to convert my files to .mp4 (seems to be the main option in free converters) but I lose a lot of the quality, they look dreadful. I don't mind losing *some* quality, but these looked totally yucky.
So I wondered if someone might help me understand how to get these .MTS files into FCPX (as I'd really like to try the software out now it's here!). I would try importing direct from the camera, but 1. I left the camera at uni this weekend and 2. I deleted the original files, thinking I'd be fine to, as I have copies in about 3 places. Gah!
Any tips that a simpleton like me can follow would be much appreciated. Sorry if this is a question brought up all the time!
Sam

general advice:
Avoid ANY converter, which converts 'orphanized' mts to h.264 - that's a (very) lossy process.
Why?
Because, mts IS h.264!
so, two-and-a-half options:
• use a converter, such as ClipWrap, able to convert straight to FCPX' intermediate format proRes
• use an un-wrapper, like free Rewrap2M4V, to 'unpack' the mts into a mov (rename resulting suffix)
• or, try Panasonics free AVCAMRestorer which claims to re-establish a fully functional AVCHD-structure, which allows FCPX to trigger its own import-routines with your mts

Help with video display!!

Hello all,
After installing the 41.09 drivers for my MSI GF4200 64mb card, I noticed that upon DVD or any video file playback, I only see about one quarter of the video, which is the upper right hand corner. I do not know if the problem started with the installation of this driver as I have not tried to view video in awhile until after installing this driver. Previously I believe I had 4072 and the original drivers in. So, I reinstalled the original drivers and I am still having the same problem. I ran my direct x diag tool and I passed all of them.
Another strange part of this is the fact that after I play with the display settings, the problem seems to be fixed. But when I close the program, and reopen the video file the problem recoccurs again.
I do not have any other video problems that I know of, but I will go run Battlefield 1942 (intense gfx) to see how I fare. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas, please share as this is really starting to bug me. Thanks for your help in advance!
twanto

Well BF1942 and 3D mark both run fine, stable, no glitches and run at the size they are supposed to. Does anyone have any suggestions? PLEASE HELP!

Flash SWF with Video file will not play in web page

Hello Flash group,
I have created a flash video file from a *.wmv file.
myvideo.flv.
I have used flash to build an swf file that plays the video
(with a default skin).
I have then imported the media file into an html page using
Dreamweaver. I did not import the flv file, but the swf file with
the "video" in it.
The page plays find on my development server (where
Flash,Dreamweaver, etc is installed).
When I moved the html page, the flv file, the swf file and
the skin to my production webserver (linux and apache)
the flash files do not show up on the web page. The dev
server is a windows XP running apache 2.2)
Any ideas on what I need to do???
thanks,
eholz1

It may cause by any of the reason below:
- You have uploaded the flv file to the wrong directory
- Your flv file path/name is incorrect. check all case
sensitive etc.
- Your web server doesn't support FLV MIME type.

Problem with video files

Hello,
I'm looking for a PC software wich suport the N8 video files.
When i try to import the movies made with my N8 in Adobe premiere pro, there not opening.
The only way i found out was to convert them in quicktime the reconvert them in APP. But it's taking a very long time and a bit of the quality.
Do someone know an editing software for PC which can DIRECTLY open movies filles from a Nokia ?
Thx.

Hi Kionoka1,
The N8 saves video files as .MP4, so when you import, you will either get an "unsupported format" message or the audio plays with no visual.
Have you tried to rename the file extension from MP4 to MPG or M4V. This should invoke an alternate import module that will correctly handle the file.
Hope this helps,

NEED HELP WITH VIDEO SOUND PLS

just bought a 30 GB ipod, updated itunes to make the videos compatible. uploaded 3 music videos, they work perfect except they have no sound. dont know what the problem is. i havent' restarted my compute yet, maybe that's it but i highly doubt it. anyones opinion would be highly appreciated. thanks for your help guys.
-MIKE

Neither Quicktime Pro or iTunes have the ability to successfully encode a muxed video file with audio. You'll end up with video and no audio.
You'll need to use some other third-party software to do the conversion. There's a handful of software available. Just search the forums and you'll find many titles mentioned.
Videora iPod Converter seems to be popular amongst Windows users, although I've read that you might get mixed results using it.

Need help with video!! HELP!

i've a 30G video ipod.i tried to convert video clips with itunes.i did it but it dosen't have any sound!! only the video that keeps playing.so, HOW TO GET SOUND AND VIDEO TOGETHER???? PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS!!

QuickTime expects video files with separate video and audio tracks, but many MPEG formats used a muxed (multiplexed) single track that contains both. Therefore, iTunes & the iPod (both of which use QuickTime) only show the video and no sound.
iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302588
One way to work around this is to use MPEG Streamclip to convert the files to fix this issue...

Need help with video problems

Hi!
Back in May I was having problems with video on my Mac. I was helped by this site and am hoping for more help. I downloaded the realaudio, but was still having problems. I assumed because I was on dial up. It was so slow. It would take forever to load and then play for a few minutes then need to load some more. I now have DSL and was looking forward to kissing the video problems good-bye! My new problem is that when I try to watch or listen to anything like innertube it "stutters." Is there something else I should be doing? How can I fix this problem?

With those specs you should be absolutely fine. I would suggest that you update to 10.4.10 at least (download the full Combo updater). Once you are on that:
These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, QT 7.3 and OS 10.4.11. (If you are running Leopard, ensure that all plug-ins have been updated for OS 10.5)
Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.9 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. This: http://www.macworld.co.uk/news/index.cfm?email&NewsID=19845 may also interest you.)
In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
See also the very informative post from QuickTimeKirk dated Dec 3, 2007 in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1268489&tstart=0
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them).
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
The world should now be your oyster!
You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

Help with video in Flex - Alternative to embedding .flv?

I'm building a Flex application that needs to play a video, which I have in .flv format. I tried the mx:VideoDisplay component, and it was great, but, unfortunately, I need to be able to package the entire application into a single file, and Flex doesn't support embedding .flv files. Next I tried converting the .flv to a .swf, embedding that, then using mx:SWFLoader to display it. This worked, except that I can no longer control the video playback; the video just keeps endlessly looping. I need to be able to stop the video, and ideally I would like access to something like the complete event from mx:VideoDisplay, so that I can hide the video when it has reached the end.
I have tried a couple of solutions based around the idea that the content of the .swf can be treated as a MovieClip, but none of these worked for me. Any ideas?
