    There are several third party applications available to help convert your movies to a more iPod friendly format. Here are a few.
    [HandBrake|http://handbrake.fr>

  • How to convert .avi files to .mov format for use in FCE ?

    Hi guys,
    I need to import an avi file into FCE. How do I convert it to mov format ?
    Thanks

    i am in the same boat. i have a canon G9 and automatically downloaded to iphoto without thinking. the videos i extracted seem to be .avi. what do i have to do to edit them in FCE4? i tried to convert them with prism, the video is messed up. i tried to put them into imovie instead, it won't let me do any effects on them. it's so confusing bc it lets the videos load in, or so i thought, but then it won't let me do anything to them? what do i do?

  • How do you convert .AVI files for using in iMovie without losing the original clip time and date

    Hi everyone! does anyone know how to convert .AVI files for using in iMovie without losing the original clip time and date? Handbrake, MPEG Streamclip and Evon all replace the original timecode with the date of modification. This is very frustrating when you are trying to keep the chronology right. I know that if you upload the files to iMovie from one device the chronology isn't a problem, but I'm adding video files from a couple of iPhones and a couple of camcorders. any help much appeciated.

    Both the AVI and the MOV file extensions refer to the file container and not the compressed data the file contains. Both are generic file containers in that each may contain any valid combination of audio and/or video data that is compatible with the codec component configuration of the system on which the file was created. On the other hand, whether a file is playback compatible, conversion compatible, and/or edit compatible depends on the data actually contained in the file container. So, you are basically dealing with two separate issues here—the container and what is inside it.
    Basically, if you want to make your files ediit compatible with iMovie, you must change your file container to one that is acceptable to iMovie and convert the data to edit compatible audio and/or video compression formats as may be necessary. The best approach is to determine what codecs were actually used to create the original AVI files and add them to your system if possible. In most cases a codec package like Perian can be added to your system's codec component configuration to may the AVI file playable. Once they are playable, in the QT 7 app then they can be chnged or converted to file types and compression formats that can be edited in iMovie. (While Perian handles most codecs commonly used to create AVI files, it does not handle all possibilities and, while the Perian codec package still works under cureent Mac OS versions, its development group has decided to drop further development/support of the package.)
    Background: AVI is a file container originally developed by Microsoft back in 1992 but for which official support was discontinued about 11 years. Despite its limitations, Windows users still tend to use this file based on its open source ease of use and generic nature, thus, making its use so popular that most users are unwilling to switch to more modern but less generic file types. Since some AVI legacy compression formats have never been transcoded for the Mac or use beyond OS 9 or OS X PPC platforms, it is often important to know what specific compression formats are contained in the AVI file to know which codecs to add to your system and which not to add in order to avoid possible codec conflicts.
    You can use many different converters to convert AVI files to iMovie edit compatible files. Most third-party apps contain their own buit-in codecs which do not relay on the Mac codec component configuration. Free ones, like HandBrake, usually have limited conversion capabilities while those that have more varied outputs are usually commercial in nature and will cost you additional cash. QT 7 Pro or the free MPEG Streamclip app allow you to access you own system's component configuration and use any available codec component like DV, AIC, MPEG-4, H.264, Photo JPEG, etc.—all of which are iMovie compatible for editing purposes—but only after making the AVI file QT 7 player compatible.
    In order to determine what compression formats wewre used in your AVI files you can
    1) Try checking the Finder "Info" window,
    2) Use the "Inspector", "Media Info", or "Properties" window of any player app that will open the file, or
    3) Use a general media utility app like "MediaInfo" to read the file characteristics.

  • Converted .avi files to .mov in quicktime, can't transfer to ipod.

  • Converting avi files with videora

    When i try to convert an AVI format video with Videora it doesnt work. I click start and then it just says transcode complete, but when i check for it, it isnt there. Is there any other way to convert AVI files?

    Hopefully in answer to the many posts on “how to get various video formats onto your iPod” I have put together a summary of applications I use. I have tried a few others with varying amounts of success (some of which are free) - I have finally plumped for the software produced by Xilisoft as providing good quality video relatively affordable cost for use withPC’s and numerous MS operating systems. The link below takes you to their site which not only allows you to download trail versions of their software but also has a comprehensive set of tutorials and FAQ's for their iPod video conversion software.
    I have regularly used these applications to convert various file formats to iPod friendly video. They are simple to use although frequently processor and RAM hungry:
    Use Xilisoft iPod Video Converter if you want to:
    [*]Convert various video file formats to MP4
    [*]Convert most audio file formats to MP3
    [*]Extract audio from video file and save to MP3
    [*]Encode several files simultaneously
    [*]Pause encoding process to run other CPU time consuming programs at any time
    Supported file formats:
    Video:
    [*]MPEG(mpg, mpeg, dat, vob); WMV; ASF; AVI; QuichTime(mov, qt); MPEG4(mp4); 3GP; DV(dv,
    dif); Real Video(rm); Animated GIF(gif - decoding only); Macromedia Flash(swf - decoding
    audio only);
    Audio:
    [*]MPEG Audio(mp2, mp3); WMA; WAV; AU; MPEG4 Audio(m4a); Real Audio(ra); OGG; AAC; Raw
    AC3(ac3); NUT Open Container Format(nut);
    To convert DVD's to an iPod friendly video format:
    Use Xilisoft DVD to iPod V4:
    [*]Just pop the DVD in your drive select compression variables (default settings work well) and sit back!
    All these products are available on a "try before you buy basis", yes there are applications for XP which are free but and may work just as well but I have converted many hours of video for my iPod without hassle using the Xilisoft products (no I don't work for them!). Check there web site HERE

  • Converting AVI files to iPod M4V files?

    I just purchased QTPro to convert AVI files to viewable files on my iPod nano. Is there a size limitation when converting these files. I was able to convert a smaller file and then import it to iTunes then to the iPod, but the larger file I really want to move to the iPod will not finish converting to the M4V. I gives me an error message.
    I using Tiger G4 with 640MB of RAM
    Thanks

    Any thoughts on how to fix this? I was hoping to automate this process, but the files produced aren't useable...
    If the audio is MP3, AC3, or similar compression format, then try using MPEG Streamclip instead. MPEG Streamclip also allows batch processing if the files will export with audio from it. As to QTP, hang on to it. MPEG Streamclips is better at handling MPEG-1 audio layers, AC3, and many sequential actions, but QTP is still best for layering multiple audio and video tracks. The two applications generally complement each other well.

  • Converting avi files so I can view on apple tv

    I am very very new to the mac world so please don't laugh!  How do I convert avi files to a format I can view on my apple tv.  I have recently purchase a macbook pro.  Do I simply download software??  thanks so much, Karen

    There are many video conversion options out there, but many of the better tools are free such as MPEGStreamclip.  From memopry there may be an AppleTV preset in MPEGStreamclip.
    AppleTV1/2 use an MPEG-4 variant called h264 on the whole for stuff purchased from iTunes store.   They will play more basic MPEG-4 but not at as high a resolution as h264.  MJPEG is also supported on ATV2 but I suspect this is for some digicam files.
    See specs here:
    http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs.html
    Another good free format converter is Handbrake which may also be worth a shot.  It has presets for AppleTV 1 or 2 and is quite straightforward.
    Worth noting that video conversion, especially to h264 format, can be time consuming.

  • Pocket Playlist- how to convert mp4 file to use on pocket playlist

    I have an mp4 video that i would like to use on my pocket playlist, but not sure how to convert the file?

    Hello Andy,
    I do not have an HP Pocket drive but according to the manual...
    The pocket acts as any other drive to store files on. Its the media player that you use that has to support the type of file you are playing.
    This is cut from the manual.
    "File types supported by HP Pocket PlaylistYour playback device may not support all of the following formats. If your playback device does not support a format, use the ArcSoft MediaConverter 7 computer application to convert (transcode) the files into a format that will play back on your mobile device.
    HP Pocket Playlist supports the following file formats:
    Video: .avi, .3gp, .flv, .m4v, .m4p, .mov, mp4, .mpeg, .mpeg2, .mpg, .ogg, .qt, .ts, .tts, .wmv
    Music: .aac, .ac3, .adts, asf, .lpcm, .m4a, .mp3, wav, wma
    Photo: .bmp, .gif, .jpeg, .png, .tiff, .tif
    You need to import files with the "Arcsoft Media Converter" which will convert the format for you.
    Here are the links to all the info for HP Pocket Drives.

  • How to convert .mts file to Adobe Premiere?

    I shoot my family party with my Sony HDR-XR500V with the output video format of .MTS . I tried to do some editing on Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. But it does not support mts file. I have made some searches ,and i found that the Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 can edit the file formats of mpeg2 and avi. So i am wondering how to convert mts file to mpeg2 and avi for me to edit on Adobe Premiere Pro CS4? what software and programme should i need.and where can i get it. Thanks.

    As long as you have a AVCHD converter, you can use almost any editing software to edit and perfect your MTS/M2TS video files. What you should do is converting AVCHD video files into the video formats editable by editing software you are using.
    As for this question, you can convert MTS from your HD camcorder to MPEG 2,MOV or AVI supportable by Adobe Premiere.
    I recommend Brorsoft MTS/M2TS Converter for Mac which is the fastest and best quality video converter i ever used.It can help you to convert MTS/M2TS recording to some playable and editable video formats, like MOV for editing on iMovie,FCP,FCE and Adobe Premiere you are using.
    I ever used some video converter which produces video files with the issue of video and audio out of sync, but Brorsoft works fine in this point.

    Thank you

    So it seems from reading the COMMAND manual that my first issue is that I used a 16GB SD card, and the manual says it will only recogize up to a 2GB SD card. I did use my MB Air's SD card slot and crated a folder and dragged the music files to it, then to the card. So I am going to get a 2GB card and try that next. Otherwise just stick with the iPOD connected. At least that is 8GB
