How to edit video files (mp4, avi ...) meta data (Title, author ...) ?

Hello all,
After transcoding a DVD into MP4 using Avidemux I would like to change the video meta data title so that it looks great when listed into my favorite portable video reader.
It seems Avidemux uses the file name as title, but do not provide any way to change it afterwards. I also know how to set the title using ffmpeg, but I do not want to re-encode the video each time I want to do that !
Does anybody know about a simple tool (command line or gui) to change MP4 and other video formats meta data such the movie title ?
Thank you very much for sharing your experience !
Cheers,
Chicha.

Easytag works fine for MP4 files, but doesn't consider even showing AVI files in its list. I ended up using FFmpeg for similar purposes.
From what I've seen around, it seems to have supported command line arguments like "-title" or "-comment". My version (22511-1) does no like them. It however supports a generic "-metadata" argument.
ffmpeg -metadata title="TITLE" -metadata artist="ARTIST" -metadata date=DATE -metadata genre="GENRE" -metadata comment="COMMENT" -acodec copy -vcodec copy -i old.avi new.avi
The list of metadata names FFmpeg supported at some point in time (r20910, 2009-12-21) can be found here [0].
For some reason, my vlc (1.0.5-5) doesn't show them in the media information, but mplayer does.

FFmpeg's metadata handling is in flux. If one builds an unpatched version from subversion right now, the metadata doesn't line up properly in some cases. This may be why VLC isn't seeing the data. It's for sure why MPD from Git is having trouble right now. The patch below fixes a lot of it. I added a comment on a bug report that I filed with FFmpeg previously to try to get them to commit it:

HT4072 can't play video files (mp4, avi, mkv) with 5.1 audio tracks

I have two Macs, one with a mini-optical out and no audio through its mini-displayport, and the other that supports digital audio out through its mini-displayport. On either of my Macs, how can I play video files (mp4, avi, mkv) in 5.1 using Quicktime or iTunes or VLC? I've heard I need Perian. Is this true? If so, how do I configure it on either machine?
Note that when I connect the computer that supports audio through the mini-displayport to my receiver, my home theater receiver detects a PCM audio connection, but the audio I get out of my speakers is still stereo.
Both computers are running Snow Leopard. I haven't had the need to upgrade to Lion yet, but if the answer is that I need Lion do do this, I'd spend the $29.
Thanks for the help!

This just happened for the first time with an .mkv file I was trying to play. It started fine but then after selecting a menu option in smplayer the video disappeared. It didn't go black, the player just stopped presenting the video. In other words the player switched to audio playback mode only, the window was unable to go into fullscreen or be resized. Smplayer still works with other HD files. Deleting the config directory fixes the problem until I select a menu option, such as, setting the audio to 5.1, then the video portion disappears again.
Does anyone know what is going on here or have any ideas on how to fix this issue?
Thanks for any help provided.
that's because now mplayer they switch to libavformat demuxer for mkv and ogg and i think is a bug in smplayer because is making some configuration for files in file_settings in which is sets demuxer & co. this switch is confusing smplayer and it should be reported upstream
p.s if you actually select demuxer from smplayer to mkv it would work perfectly

How do I copy a home made HD video file (MP4 codec) of 10 GB from an external hard disk to my Mac Book Pro? Thanks

How do I copy a home made HD video file (MP4 codec) of >10 GB from an external hard disk to my Mac Book Pro? Thanks

I will never know if the problem was one of transfer or format compatibility. The movie would not copy from one external hard diask to another, both attached to my MAC. But when the movie (which was in mpg by the way) was downloaded directly (without any other intermediary) into my external disk from the computer (a PC) where the movie was originated, the file did copy. And when I attached that external hard disk to my MAC, i could see it using the MPEC streamclip app.
Thank you anyway!

I have a JVC GY-HM100U and when I try to get the video files (MP4 format) off of the the SD card I get the error message OSStatus error -12909...any thoughts?

To be more precise: You MUST shoot in mov. Then drag the Clip bins from the card to you hard drive. Then drag the clips to FCP timeline and FCP asks you if you want to change to the right codec and of course you say YES. Now you can start editing. Can not be more simple. This camera was specially designed for use with FCP.

How to edit a file

Ok I probably realise that I've missed something in the literature on installing arch somewhere along the way, but I've spent the last 3 hours trying to find how get past this stage to no avail.
I've managed to realise I have a dhcp connection.
For DHCP IP
For this option, you need the dhcpcd package (already available on most installations). To make use of it, edit /etc/rc.conf like this:
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(eth0)
ROUTES=(!gateway)
but when i type "edit /etc/rc.conf" I get a colon
I presume I'm in some kind of editor, but I can't see what I'm supposed to change and what commands to use inside the editor.
Any help gratefully received

bzzzz Arch is for competent Linux users - not knowing how to edit a file suggests that you do not fall into this category. If you wish to persevere and use Arch as a learning tool, then you need to be aware that you will be required to do most of the work yourself.
See the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/FA … se_Arch.3F

Hello
For using FTP function in LabVIEW, I recommend you to check this document: FTP Basics
Also, take a look at FTP Browser.vi, which is available at the Example Finder.
To edit a XML file, try to use VIs in XML palette. Maybe Write to XML.vi helps you.
Post your current VI if possible.

How to play video files that are in Drop box on iPod?

How to play video files that are in Drop box on iPod?

I am going to have to write a technote about this, because it comes up a lot.
Flash Player itself is designed to play SWF content as a browser plugin or as an ActiveX control (when it's IE Windows).
There is a standalone Flash Player, but that's something Adobe provides directly as a feature of Flash CS4 Professional. It gets installed with Flash. We have made some standalone players available on http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html, but not all (and I don't know why. Looking into it)
There are numerous 3rd party standalone SWF players out there though. Some designed to just play video, others that play full SWF. I suggest a google search of 'play SWF standalone' and read the results.
On the Mac, consumers who want to play SWF content off their desktop can use the Adobe Media Player. You can import a local SWF (and FLV and other video) and play it in AMP. Get it here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/mediaplayer/
That's Mac only, doesn't work on Windows.

How to edit *.folio files in Folio builder

Hi,
I have list of .folio files and I want to edit those files and copy the text from the .folio fiile.
Can any tell me how to edit .folio files.
Is it possible to edit the .folio files in Folio panel. Or if any other application can able to open the .folio files, please guide me on this.
Thanks,
Krish

You could, but you won't get what you want.
The .folio file simply contains flattened images/pdfs of the page. So thus, you can't copy the text as though it's XML or part of some sort of word document. I suppose you might be able to try to copy and paste the text off of the PDF, if it's a PDF folio. But.. yick.
From folio builder, preview the folio on your machine using the desktop Content Ciewer. (Or Export it via Folio Producer after publishing it privately.)
On your mac, then navigate to \Users\{username}\Library\Application Support\com.adobe.dmp.contentviewer\Local Store\FolioCache\{Folio Name}\{Article Name}\StackResources.
This should get you to the PDF files for each article.

File Rename in Meta Data back to 2.0 functionality

In the past I could edit the filename in the meta data panel, now when I click I get the rename dialog.
Is there a way to support both? i.e. click the edit box and you have free format, click the icon next to the edit box and you get the dialog.

Renaming of individual images ought to work the same way as renaming a folder in Lightroom.
To rename a folder, right-click on the folder name in the folder panel. A box pops up already populated with the existing name. Now just click in the box and edit the name any way you want.
However, if you right click on an IMAGE, there is no "rename" option. You can press F2 instead, but then you get the renaming dialog box populated with the name of the PREVIOUS file you edited, not the name of the current image.
Sure, you can edit the name in the Metadata panel, but I often don't have the panel open or I have it set to show "Large Caption" instead of the filename.
It sure seems more intuitive to me to just right-click on the image. Adobe, please add this feature.

How to edit video frames in Premiere like in Photoshop?

Hi all! So I have some videos I need to edit, and I am finally breaking into Premiere, might as well right, since I have CC, and I understand it is an awesome package.
I am learning as I go here, but as for right now, my main objective is to edit some info in the video. What would be real useful is if Premiere had like Photoshop tools bult in, so frame by frame, or for multiple frames, I can crop out, brush or pencil something in, or paint over something.
Real example: I have a video that has some phone numbers + promo codes across the bottom that is outdated and I need to change it. It runs across the bottom for about 30 seconds. What would be IDEAL is if I could select those 30 seconds, grab a paintbrush or outline the area with the selection rectangle, delete or paint it black, and then type in the new #'s.
I looked and couldnt find an option to do this. So far what I have done is export the video into JPG stills, 1447 files for a 60 seconds video. Now I dont have all kinds of hours to do this, but if desperate I will go frame by frame in PS and do that, but I am cringing at this solution.
There has to be something else... I know Premiere had some option to add subtitles but this is actual frame by frame graphic editing.
(Along similar lines, isnt this how old movies are converted to HD? They sharpen and edit frame by frame from the old crappy res to HD res?)
Thanks guys............

Thanks for your response!
1. Luckily as for the tel/promo code, they are on a back footer bg so thats easy then... but I am a noob at Premiere, whats the easiest way to "select" the desired frame set/duration? My instinctive method would be to put that red marker at the beginning and then **** click to the end, LOL... but I would need to micormange the duration to the exact frame so.....
2. There is a section at the very beginning where some overlaid text is fading away and I would love to get that out as well, but it IS on an iragnic background of a guy approaching a house so..... I know this may seem like a lot of work, but if absolutely necessary, is there a way, well I'm sure there is, but how do you clone out that text for like 20-30-50 frames and import them back into Premiere to export as a video file? When you export as JPG/TIFF sequence files, edit each one, can you simply re-import them to Premiere and it will process into an AVI or whatever?
Thanks!
