How do i correctly convert mpeg videos so they work on my ipod?

is someone used by using mediacoder and can tell me how i should change the options to convert mpeg files so the video and sound works on my ipod?

I have the same problem - I thought I was the only one!
I converted my mpg videos using Itunes, then transferred them to my Ipod. But, when I go to play the videos, the video works fine, but there's no audio! I think this is a problem with the muxing of the audio and video tracks. I've heard that you have to extract the audio from the mpg file so you not only have a video file, but a separate audio file. Then I guess you mate the files togethter somehow in order for it to work on the Ipod. I've heard of a program that can fix this for Macs (ffmpegx), but I have a PC.

Hello,
Flash Player is only supported on Apple OS X systems (10.6 - 10.10). It is not, and has never been, supported on any i-Devices. There are no plans to support these platforms.

Convert mpeg videos without changing original date

Hi
I'm trying to convert my mpeg videos to mp4 or other, so as i can import them to iphoto and display them in a slideshow. i want to play the videos and photos (jpegs) in the sequence they have been taken, so i would need to keep the original date and time in the file or keep somewhere the shooting date and time and have iphoto play them in this order (not the file date and time order, which possibility, by the way, i haven't found).
I noticed that when i convert, not only the file date and time are changed to the present, but the original date and time too.
Help is welcome.

Unlike photos movies do not have EXIF data to tell their dates, etc so the file date is used - I do not think that batch change date and time will fix this but it is worth a try - and try changing the date/time in the info window - but again I do not have great hope for that
Old Toad does a lot more with movies than I do - so he probably will have some ideas
You may have to do the slide show in something other than iPhoto - iMovie - Photo Presenter http://www.boinx.com/photopresenter/overview/ - etc

Convert .MXF Video files to work with Mac Editing software?

Hello,
Many thanks in advance for your attention.
Trying to find software that will edit .MXF Video Files to work with Mac.
As the edit is simple, prefer iMovie, but happy if the Conversion software only works with FCExpress (or even FCPro if that is the only alternative).
1. If it matters, .MXF (Material Exchange Format) Video files came from shooting on a Panasonic 500 P2. Originally downloaded onto a Windows system, using Adobe Premiere.
2. I just want to see and convert some of the shots I did for my Reel, etc., but I have a Mac.
3. I have iMovie HD, iMovie 09, and FCExpress (which I don't know how to use that well).
4. When I attach an External HD with backup files of all the footage shot, they show up named as .MXF files. They appear as VLC files (VLC icon), but the suffix is .MXF.
5. When I try to play them as VLC files, they won't play. It seems they start to play, but then the VLC software quits.
6. So I have tried downloading some software on the Internet that Google says converts .MXF files.
I tried: iSkysoft Video Converter, AVCWare Mac Video Converter, MPEG Streamclip, and a couple others. They all seem to have basically the same conversion setups, but when I click to pick one .MXF file, none of them recognize it. (The file in my Browse window is greyed out).
7. MoyaVideo Converter for Mac recognizes the .MXF file, but when I hit the "conversion" button - I tried a couple different settings, all it seems to convert is the first frame. Even if the .MXF file says a clip is 123MB or 43 seconds long, etc.
8. I can't even watch the clip in Preview. Press Play and it is just the first frame.
9. I have read elsewhere in these forums, some people touting conversion software from a company in Germany - mfxformac. I am fine with paying for conversion software, but $500?
Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks for your response.
If this codec can only be read by Final Cut Pro, why do all these companies claim their software can convert .MXF files?

How can i get an MP4 video file to work in iMovie 08'?

How do i go about acheiving this?

Autoplay is not universally supported by all devices. Many smatphone data plans can't handle the burden of preloaded and auto playing media. There's nothing you can do to change this b/c mobile devices simply ignore the parameter.   All that said, why are you still using player plugins? You don't need them with HTML5 video.
Copy & paste this code into a new, blank document. Change video files to your own.

Qosmio F30-140: How to make composite-in or video-in feature working

Hi,
I was using windows XP MC version, but now I switched to windows 7 64-bit version and I don't know how to make the composite-in or the video-in feature work.
Does win-7 driver support this feature! or I need to use a certain software to make use of it?!
Another thing I'm missing in this new windows version is the Dolby effects equalizer.
Could any body tell me how to add this option to my sound card device or send me a driver that has this option.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
As far as I know there is not full Win 7 support for F30 Qosmio.
I found some Win 7 32bit drivers on the driver page but there are no 64bit drivers.
There are Vista 64bit drivers check it!
The Sigma sound driver has been released for Windows Vista 64 Bit. Try it!
The composite-in or video-in port can be used in order to receive video signals from some external devices. For example you can connect a Xbox to the F30 and can use it in connection with Windows Media Center.

You can also conenct an camcorder or similar devices.

Converted YouTube videos no longer work

I have been converting some YouTube videos for my own offline use for some time to view on my iPod Touch. I use a little program called TubeSock.
Since 2.0 software was released for both iPod Touch and the iPhone 3G all of my converted videos no longer work. Apple changed something. I also have an e-mail into TubeSock to see if they have an update in the works.
Anyone else experience this problem and if so any solutions?
Ken

If it happens again then you can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:

*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Videos won't work on my ipod... Tried different converters and restoring it

I've restored my ipod to factory settings a hundred times and i've tried different video converters like xillisoft and videora and they all work but when I play the video it will work for a minute or so then it will stop for a few seconds. Usually when the video resumes there is no sound. If i fast forward then rewind back to same spot it usally fixes the problem but it will just happen again every 45 seconds or so. What the heck is wrong with my ipod.
Made my own Windows XP Pro

Don't worry. You will figure it out. It took me MONTHS to finally figure out how to do it. Here's a link for a dvd ripper.http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/DVD_Decrypter/1011845169/1
Now here's a link that guide you through the ripping process.

Now for converting that ripped dvd(or jsut a video file).
You will first need videora. http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/
With videora, there are a few setting you have to change that may effect the conversion process. Here's a guide on converting a ripped dvd/video file to ipod compatible.

Music video didn't work on the iPod

First of all, I apologize for my mistakes, my English is not so good.
I downloaded a music video on iTunes and I transfered to my iPod nano 4th gen., but the music video didn't play, the iPod plays just the sound, as the video were a music, it doesn't shows like a video, the iPod show just a single image, like a picture from the video.
What can I do to run the music video normaly on the iPod?

Hello edu_h,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
How are you accessing this music video? Via *Music -> Songs* or through the Videos menu? If you haven't tried *Videos -> Music Videos* I would start with that.

How to convert MPEG videos for use on iMovie?

I filmed my drama assignment with my friend on her video camera, she gave me all the files on a USB and when I got home to start editing on iMovie, it says: iMovie cannot open files in the “MPEG movie” format.

I forgot to mention in a strange way there is not a straight standard format used by cameras as I discover In iMove and Final Cut Express. Mpeg is pretty standard but can be different. For example AVCHD or AVCHD Lite, Motion Jpeg on Panasonic. Each Camera uses similar names but the compression format maybe different and not compatible with iMovie. This why I like Toast, it converts almost anything to a useable format. But if your starting out the Camera Brand and Model is the key to finding compatibility with iMove. Since I have not used iMove in a while and don't know the new version go to the forum with Camera etc. and ask about compatibility. But Toast with some tries will most likely give you what need. This can be frustrating but you'll get there, it may take a little time. Also open the folder with files to see exactly what you've got. You really need to know exactly what you've got. I hope QuickTime work out for you

How to see "non converted" youtube videos on iphone

I have a few of my own videos loaded at youtube and wanted to see them on my iphone but they aren't among those converted to the iphone format. But there's a website called zamzar.com that will convert any of the youtube videos to the iphone format for you. They e-mail them to you -- then just put them in your itunes movie folder and sync. Good luck.

On the iPod Touch, to display lyrics that you've added to a song:
In Settings/Music>Lyrics & Podcast Info, make sure this is "on".
The lyrics will show up when the Scrubber Bar (time played/remaining) is displayed.
If the lyrics (and Scrubber Bar) are not showing while the song is playing, tap the screen.

How do I take a MP4 video and get it to my iPod?

I have a MPEG4 video and I don't know how to get it onto my fifth generation iPod
help please?

If you've got the latest (I mean LATEST) version of iTunes, it will require only .m4a files. Click on your .mp4 video file, right click (if your on windows) and click on 'convert selection for iPod'. Takes a while but it works!! Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!

For Making iDVDs: How to do I set my videos so they automatically transition to the next video instead of going back to the main menu every time?

Hello out there!
Im trying to create a magic iDVD and I have some difficulty navigating my options. Some of my video's that I'd like to add are very short clips and I'd like view them back to back without having to go back to the main menu everytime after every short video clip. For example: a 1:08 minute video of my daughter's birthday and then a 3 minute video of her bithday...how do I make it so the 1:08 minute video automatically transitions to the 3 minute video without me having to go back to the main menu to manually select the next video?
Please advise! Thank you so much
citule

You can't. But (there's always a but) if you have enough room (i.e. playing time) available in the project you can create a slideshow in iDVD
and add all of the videos to it.
If you do that set the Slide Duration time to anything except Manual or Set to Music. Also do not select an transition.
When you click on the Create Project button in Magic Movie you'll be able to use the "+" button to add the slideshow to the top menu.

How do I get my iPad Videos app to work?

I have the iPad 2. I'm having trouble getting the Videos app that came with the iPad to work. I have several videos on there and when I click on it, it just opens to a black screen. If I swipe from left to right and type in one of the movies on the videos app, it flickers, but won't play. I saw with someone else who had this problem they were told to hit the home button twice, then click on the "minus" sign on the icons of the apps that were open. Well, the iPad 2 doesn't have that. When you hit the button twice, it pulls up all the apps you own/are open at the bottom of the screen to scroll through easily, but none of them have the minus symbol to close them. As far as I know, there is no way to "close" apps on the iPad 2. Any help? If I could delete and reinstall it, that'd be great, but it comes with the iPad so I can't do that.
Thanks

What am am I doing wrong then? Because I've done **exactly** those things and the minus sign never appears. Do I have something set up wrong in my settings. If I press and hold one of the apps, they shake and an "x" appears on most of them *except* the apps that came with the iPad (including the "Videos" app). I've also done the tapping the home screen button thing. The icons appear at the bottom of the screen like they're supposed to, and when I press and hold one of the apps, they all start to wiggle, *however* no minus signs appear. Please understand that, "x"s appear on the apps that I have installed, **nothing** appears on the apps that came automatically on the iPad, and no minuses/minus symbols appear on the apps at all. **That** is why I'm having trouble. I can't close and reopen it to see if that will fix it. Is there a setting (under "settings") that I can change so that I *can* open and close the apps (so that a minus sign does appear on the apps)?
