Help with video in itunes

how do you move videos on your hard drive into itunes? everyone keeps saying to just drag it into iTunes, but for me that's not working. Do I need to convert it before I import it?

Most likly you have to convert it. iTUnes only accepts/supports mpeg video, not AVI. More on video in iTUnes and ipods can be found here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302758
Now for video already in iTUnes, the latest versions of iTUnes can convert a video listed in i Tunes to a "iPod friendly" format. BEFORE doing this tho you need to make sure its not a multiplex video before converting it and wasting your time. With a multiplex video, iTUnes converts it but leaves out the sound AND gives you no warning. more about this and how to check if your video is multiplex can be read here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302588

HT201195 Who can I call about getting help with redeeming my iTunes card?

Title is pretty self explanatory: Who can I call about getting help with redeeming my iTunes card?

There isn't a phone number for iTunes Support, you can contact them via this page (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes

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.

IPad 2 help with iMovie and iTunes

Hello all and thank you for reading. I'm not a stranger to apple products, owing most of the iPhone's and apple tv since their debut some years ago. Recently I bought the ipad 2 and it has been one issue after another. I'll start with the main issue. Upon buying my iPad 2, like others I did a sync with iTunes to add content to my iPad. Through the sync process iTunes would crash every time during the syncing of photos portion. After awhile I discovered the issue. When iTunes tried to sync video made with my iPhone 4 into photos on the iPad 2 it would crash. The iphone keeps video it records in the photo section automatically as it doesn't have a video section like the ipad 2. Once I reorganized all pictures in to separate folders and playing process of elimination I discovered this issue. With the video recorded with the iPhone 4 removed from the picture folder in iTunes the sync went through with no issue. Next, when I organized the videos taken out of photos and added them to iTunes they where put into the movies section. Not an issue for me. So I now have the videos and pictures I want on my iPad. Recently on a trip to Disney I recorded several videos and wanted to edit them using iMovie on my iPad. I took the videos from the iPhone 4, placed them in the video folder I created on my laptop separate from the pictures and then added the videos to iTunes. They were placed under video on my iPad 2 just like it has been. Next I bought iMovie and planned to go to work editing. I was wrong, IMovie will not find the videos on my iPad. The videos are indeed on the iPad as I've watched them all but when adding a project to iMovie the video tab remains empty. I've tried everything to get iMovie to see the videos and nothing works. I feel like I waisted 5.00 for the app since it can't even recognize movies made with my iPhone 4. If anyone can explain to me what I'm doing wrong and help me to fix this issue I would greatly appreciate it.

Check out this video (not mine) that explains how to convert the video files and how to copy them to iPad 2 so that iMovie can find them.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gYxxMO9ylk
I'm having another problem after upgrading to iTunes 10.4.1, it crashes when copying video files. If you're using a PC for iTunes, DO NOT UPGRADE iTUNES until this is fixed. Unfortunately I upgraded in the middle of a project that I now I'm stuck. My iPad 2 and iMovie app might as well be a brick. Way to go, Apple!

Need Help With Video In Flex Mobile

Hi,
I have been searching quite a bit for information on this and have found really nothing useful for my problem. So far, I've converted the actionscript code posted here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/osmf-media-player.html
to work within my ios mobile project. The problem is that no matter what I have tried, I can hear the video but not see it. That codes uses the OSMF framework, which uses StageVideo I think, so I've tried setting the application background alpha to 0 as has been posted about; still no video though. The project is also set to use direct rendering. I've even tried some bare bones AS code to implement the StageVideo, as others have posted here, but still same thing. So can anyone either show me a working example or provide any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?
thanks

Need help with video uploading in flex 4

hey guys... so i need to create a video uploading application... with video chunking...
basically i need to break up the video file (may be 1Gig or more in size) in pieces and send it to the server using a method i call from my webservice...
any ideas??
i believe this process is called chunking... not sure how to do this...
thank you very much in advance!!!

dude. some time itunes just doesnt support drag and drop techniques . just try the simple copy and paste(ctrl(c+v)). if that file is gonna be played on the ipod u get a small tab box in the itunes that the file which u r copying is being processed .
even if this technique doesnt work , then thats a faulty format . u can try another video converter . say videora or Aplus video converter . u will find them in www.download.com

Sound with video in iTunes but not on Apple TV

I use EyeTV from Elgato to record TV programs, strip out commercials, and convert for use on Apple TV. This has worked beautifully except for the last time. I can watch the TV show with sound using iTunes on my Mac. However, there is no sound viewing the same file on Apple TV. This is true only for this one file (so far). I have tried both streaming the video and syncing it--no sound either way. Any ideas?
Fred Stinson

Me again,
Have an update to the problem. Think I have caused the issue when I copied my files to a new PC. When I go into itunes and select TV programmes, all of the programmes appear.
When I select the Itunes store and under the Quick Links selet "Purchased" and TV programmes, the programmes I cannot see in itunes are also not being displayed here.
Suspect this was my error - can anyone advise ?

Need help with video-scroll

Hello,
I need some help with a project. What I eventually want is that a webcam controls the mouse position and the mouse position
controls a video. But first I would like the part where the mouse position controls the video.
So if the mouse is on the left on your screen the video will be at the first frame and when you move you're mouse to
the right the video will play accordingly to the movement. and stop when the mouse is all the way to the right.
Effectivly the mouse scrolles through the video. It only needs to be on the x-axis.
I'm not that formilliar with flash so any help would be great
Thx!
Thijs

I fixed it in an other way.
Made a imgseq and following code (with some help ):
          stop();
          stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeHandler);
          stage.addEventListener(FullScreenEvent.FULL_SCREEN, resizeHandler);
          stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, inputHandler);
          stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
          stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
          var imgSeq:ImgSeq = new ImgSeq();
          var columnWidth;
          var numColumns;
          stage.addChild(imgSeq);
          imgSeq.x = 350
          imgSeq.gotoAndStop(1);
          columnWidth = stage.stageWidth / imgSeq.totalFrames;
          numColumns = stage.stageWidth / columnWidth;
          function resizeHandler(e:Event):void {
          // verdeel het scherm in kolommen, iedere keer dat het scherm geresized wordt.
                    // breedte van 1 kolom (schermbreedte gedeeld door aantal plaatjes)
                    columnWidth = stage.stageWidth / imgSeq.totalFrames;
                    // totaal aantal kolommen dat binnen het scherm past (breedte gedeeld door breedte van één kolom )
                    numColumns = stage.stageWidth / columnWidth;
          function inputHandler(e:MouseEvent):void {
          // voer dit iedere keer dat je de muis beweegt uit.
                    // kijk voor iedere kolom of de muis er binnen valt.
                    for(var i = 1; i <= numColumns; i++){
                              //vergelijking die checkt of de muispositie binnen de waarden van kolom valt.
                              if(mouseX <= i * columnWidth && mouseX >= (i * columnWidth) - columnWidth ){

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?
