How to convert video and dvd for iPod
1. Download, install and run PQ DVD to iPod Video Converter. It can convert from DVD, Tivo, DivX, MPEG, WMV, AVI, RealMedia and many more to iPod Video.
(PQ DVD to iPod Video Converter Download)
2. Click "Open ..." button and choose a video file or DVD disc to open. Wait for the movie to start playing in the preview window.
3. Based on the aspect ration of the video source PQ DVD to iPod Video Converter will choose the best resolution for the output iPod video. Nevertheless you can select a resolution of your choice to stretch/squash the picture. Alternatively, you can choose a Crop Mode to cut unimportant parts of the video (like top/bottom black bars or subtitles).
You can also adjust the desired quality to reduce the output size of the movie.
In the preview window you will see what the resulting movie will look like.
When you have set the desired settings simple click on the "Record it" button to convert the video/DVD.
Depending on the settings a 60 minutes video is converted on average for 15 minutes.
4. When the process finishes you can test the recorded video file on your PC using QuickTime to see if it works well.
Then launch iTunes, add the recorded file into the library and update iPod (under iTunes' File menu). And have a nice time!
Additional Settings
1. Video Settings
Video Frame Rate
Known as Frame Per Second (FPS). It refers to the number of pictures displayed in 1 second in order to form continuous motions. The default frame rate is 15 fps. You may choose 24fps to get more continuos motions.
When selecting higher fps, increase the movie quality and size a little. This is because more frames need some amount of additional motion data to be stored.
Brightness Level
Increase the level to make video appear brighter on your iPod screen. The default is level 0 (No brightness change from the original video).
2. Audio Options
Audio Quality
There are 6 audio quality modes to choose: 32kbps Mono, 48kbps Mono, 48Kbps Stereo, 64Kbps Stereo, 96Kbps Stereo, 128Kbps Stereo.
Audio Bitrate (in Kbits per second)
Audio bitrate refers to how many data storage is allocated to store audio signals. The higher audio
bitrate, the better audio quality.
Audio Volume
You can change output audio volume in "Output Settings" dialog. The default volume level is 5 (original volume).
Stereo to Mono
When the output audio is set to Mono, you can choose which stereo channel (of input source) to be copied into the Mono channel (output). It is useful for some video sources (e.g. VCD) which use the left, right channels for different languages or for karaoke.
3. DVD subtitle(subpicture), language
It is recommended to use the native DVD menu in the preview panel to set subtitle(subpicture) and language. (Click "DVD menu" button on the right to show native DVD menu in the preview panel) You may also change the subtitle(subpicture), language in the program's Options menu, but there are some DVDs that require the change must be made in the native DVD menu instead of the program's menu.

How to convert mp3 CD audiobook for ipod?
I use Audiobook Builder to convert Auciobook CDs to an ipod-compatible bookmarkable format, and the program handles all of the steps transparently. in iTune 10, how can I make this same conversion from an mp3 audiobook CD into iTunes? I tried following the instructions for this from an earlier post on this discussion group, but have run into a problem. When I select all of the MPEG audiofiles from the mp3 CD and instruct iTunes via the Advanced Menu to "Create AAC Version", iTunes says that it is converting the files track by track. BUT, when it is done, I still have only MPEG audio files showing, no AAC converted files. Thanks for any suggesions.

Request Assistance - Converting VHS and DVDs for Apple TV
I have an Apple TV and love it. My mission is to take my old VCRs and DVDs, convert them and place them in my Apple TV Library. I have run into a snag however when the movies is multiple tapes or DVDs. Up to now I have been simply posting them as Part 1, Part 2, etc but that is clumsy and makes my menu in Apple TV very large.
Is there a method for splicing these tapes and DVDs into one large movie? I have tried using iMovie 08 (I will have 09 in early February), but it keeps crashing as the films are too long (3+ hours).
Has anyone else attempted to do what I want to do and have you been successful? If so what software did you use?
Any help would be appreciated.I have probably 200 home movies and 50 hollywood movies in my TV, and it definitely helps to have some organization.
I have found that I can go to the Movies section in iTunes, from the source pane on the left. You will see a list of all your movies. Pick one of the three you would like to organize together. Right-click (or control-click) and select "Get Info". Now go to the "Video" section and type in the name you want to organize this 3-part movie into in the field called "Show Name". You can also type an episode number if you want. Under "Sorting" you can also put the Show name in. Click "OK". Repeat this for your other 2 portions, and they will all show up under the "Show Name" on the TV.
For example, I have 14 videos from a recent trip to Turkey and Greece all under one show, and I have Godfather 1,2,3 all under Godfather. -
How to convert ALAC to 256kbps for ipod when syncing?
I have a large library of apple ALAC files ripped from CD into itunes and I want to have an easy way of converting to a lessor quality version for syncing with the ipod. The problem i don't want duplicates and I want higher than 128 so the check box (convert to 128 on sync) will not be good enough. I want around, say 256kbs for better quality on the ipod. How do I do this without having to maintain two sets of files or libraries? Is there any tool that can do this?
Thanks
AlanThe "sync-on-the-fly" option for iPod syncing currently only works at 128 kb/s.

What is the best way to back-up my Hi-8 video tapes and then load them onto my i-Mac so I can edit them on i-movie? A camera store will convert them to DVD for $32/120min. Will I lose a lot of quality that way?
Quality is not much of an issue with Hi8, the main issue is age of the tapes. The older the tapes, the more degraded the images are going to be. Regardless of how you transfer the video, the quality is going to be pretty much the same.
The "best" way depends on how valuable the images are to you and how many tapes you have. I did a similar project last winter with a collection of 14 Hi8 tapes that dated from 1994 to 2002. I bought a converter bridge (Canopus), maximum RAM for my Mac, and a huge hard drive. I also decided to get Final Cut Express because it had more ability to enhance the pictures after downloading them. I am very happy with the results, but it cost me nearly $1200 for the upgrades, equipment, and software.
The only other thing to consider is to be sure that if you go with an outside vendor (like the Camera Store) that the files they provide for you will be in a format that iMovie can recognize.
Good luck. -

How to install videos and movies on to i touch
i am not able to get any video files on to my i touch.it is giving a message that this format cant be played on your i pod.how to install videos and movies on to my i touch
Videos must be in a format that iTunes and the iPod can accept. See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2729?viewlocale=en_US
If your videos are not on the appropriate format, you'll have to convert them. Search this forum for "video convert" and you should find a number of threads about converting videos for use with an iPod.

How to download video player stream for ipad for free?
Most such tutorials that I've seen are done as self-contained apps. For instance, the ones from this company:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/appdesigner.com-inc./id361068165
All such apps are delivered via the iTunes Store, which binds an app to the purchaser's iTunes Store account so the app can't be shared with anyone else. You can learn more about developing and selling apps for iOS here:

How to Convert spool which is for smartform output to PDF?
how to Convert spool which is for smartform output to PDF?
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF' is not working for smartform output,
if i use this there will be error spool not contain list output?
than whats the function module or way to convert spool contain smartform output to pdg?
regards,<b>Procedure</b>
When we activate the Smartform the system generates a Function Module. The function module name we can get from Smartfrom screen from menubar
Environment => Function Module_Name . In a report we can get this Function module name by calling a Function Module standard SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME. This function module at runtime calls the FM generated by smartform, which in turn is then used to pass data from the report to Smartform. In the report given below the FM generated is /1BCDWB/SF00000152 . In this FM we can see CONTROL_PARAMETERS in import tab. This is of type SSFCTRLOP. We need to set the GETOTF of this to be X. Setting this field will activate the OTF field in smartform.
In export tab of the FM generated by smartform we can see a parameter JOB_OUTPUT_INFO which is of type SSFCRESCL. The SSFCRESCL is a structure of having one of fields as OTFDATA. OTFDATA in turn is a table of type ITCOO. ITCOO has two fields TDPRINTCOM and TDPRINTPAR. TDPRINTCOM represents command line of OTF format data and TDPRINTPAR contains command parameters of OTF format data.
In every Smartform output in OTF format, TDPRINTCOM begins and ends with //. EP represents the end-of-page value for TDPRINTCOM field.
In addition we need to set few fields at the place where we call this FM(generated by smartform) in our program. While calling this FM we should set control_parameters, output_options, user_settings and job_putput_info fields as shown in program.
Once these settings are done we can call Function Module CONVERT_OTF to convert the OTF data of smartfrom output to PDF data format. Once these are done we can call method cl_gui_fronted_services=>file_save_dialog to specify the directory path where we want to save the output PDF file. After this we can call Function Module GUI_DOWNLOAD to download the PDF file on our local system.
