I am trying to convert some avi's to mp4 to enable usage with apple tv and imovie.  I have used three different software, two paid and 1 free (Skysoft, Total Converter and Handbrake) but conversion stops at 4:57 minutes.

My computer information:  Mac (27-inch) 3 TB fusion drive, Late 2013, Procesor:3.5 GHz Intel Core i7, Memory:16 GB 1600 MHz,  Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2048 MB, Operating system: Yosemite OS X 10.10.1, iPhoto 9.6, iMovie 10.0.6, Quick Time Player 10.4, ITunes 12.0.1, VLC Version 2.1.5 Rincewind (Intel 64bit)
I have a large number of AVI home video files that need to be converted to MP4's.  All software I have used (iSkysoft Video Converter- paid version, Total Video Converter - paid version and Handbrake - free version) have done the same thing:  the conversion starts but part way through stops and the result is an MP3 clip of exactly 4:57 minutes.  I have been working with Skysoft support with no success.  The firs attempt was with Total Video Converter.  My second attempt was with iSkysoft Video Converter trial version and it converted entire length of video but of course with watermark.  The paid version then started having the short conversion problem.  I just purchased the computer and am new to Macs. 

Thank you for your suggestions.  The Handbrake version I have is as follows: Version 0.10.0 x86_64 (2014112200) and I am not sure what website I downloaded it from  The fact the the same problem occurs with multiple softwares makes me think it is something on my computer, a setting or something, but I have no idea what or where to look.
I will definitely check out iFlicks and let you know.
Thanks

  • HT201263 None of the above have worked. Ipad completely bricked. This began when merely updating IOS software as instructed. Now Apple want to charge me for using their crappy software as directed. Surely this is not only immoral but potentially illegal.

    Read: iPad Troubleshooting Assistant
    That procedure eventually leads you to the need to restore it.
    Make sure you are following the instructions in this procedure to the letter. Here they are, with emphasis on some easily overlooked requirements:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release only the Sleep/Wake button.
    Continue pressing and holding the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode").
    Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you do not see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. Be patient since it sometimes takes several of these attempts before you are successful.
    If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links. 
    Select the iPad in iTunes and choose "restore from backup". This assumes you have a backup. If you do not, you will have to download all your purchased iTunes content again. You do not have to pay for anything you already purchased.
    If you still can't get it to work, you have done all you can and only Apple will be able to help.

  • I am trying to open some *.avi files in quicktime, they are from my security camera at home.  It will not open them, would anyone be able to help me?  It says I need a plugin but it does not tell me which one.

    Basically your player is telling you that you need to install the codecs that will play the compressed data within the AVI file.
    AVI is a legacy file container in which the tracks of data are interleaved to maintain synchronization. This data can be encoded using many different audio and video codecs. Your problem is to determine which codecs you need for the player you are trying to use and install them if they are available. Failing that, your will either have to play the files in a different player which has the codec support your require built into the app or convert the content to a compression format that is natively compatible with the player you wish to use.
    Since you have not stated what platform, operating system, and particular player you are targeting for playback, it is difficult to provide precise instructions for fixing your specific problem at this point. Suggest you try alternative players compatible with your system and platform to see if they will play the files, use a dedicated media information utility to determine the codecs needed for playback, or post a sample file for analysis.

  • Hi, I've used four different Groups when emailing for the past few years, and suddenly they have stopped working. I've tried creating new Groups but that doesn't work either. I haven't changed or done anything different and it is driving me mad......

    Hi, I've used four different Groups when emailing for the past few years, and suddenly they have stopped working. I've tried creating new Groups but that doesn't work either. I haven't changed or done anything different and it is driving me mad......can anyone help, please?!

    Thanks for that information!
    I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
    In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
    When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
    Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

  • HT204382 I want to convert an .avi movie to a format where I can cut a DVD. I have OS X lion operating system

    I want to convert an .ave movie to be able to create a dvd. What software do I need?      Thanks

    Thanks Kappy, this helped. I was able to convert the .avi file to mp4 making it possible to view the movie. However, I was unable to burn it.  I downloaded a program called express burn from prism and was able to burn the .avi file to a dvd .vob. format.
    If you are using a 4gb dvd you may have to change the setting to medium quality depending on the movie size. Hope this helps.

  • TS1424 Some recent Downloads of movies or tv programmes with Apple TV have picture but screeching and crackling for sound.

    Some recent Downloads of movies or tv programmes with Apple TV 2 have picture but screeching and crackling for sound. I had downloaded a programme from a series which WAS fine,then a subsequent download of another episode in the same series ruined the 1st. Does anyone know what is wrong? I have also download some free programmes since then and the sound is fine on those.

  • I love the 6th Gen. iPod Nano but it has a major deficiency, the power button. I've bought 2 and they both have given me the same issue of the power button becoming slack and not functioning. Why is this so, and how can I fix it??

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    AirPlay Mirroring is supported on your Mac, but it needs OS X Mountain Lion (10.8). See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
    You have two possibilities:
    1. Make a backup, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion to upgrade to this OS X. Then, you will find the AirPlay Mirroring icon at the top right of the display, on the menu bar, or on System Preferences > Displays.
    2. Keep OS X Lion and use AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com
    Both options work properly, but I recommend AirPlay Mirroring as it doesn't need a third-party program

  • I need help with color pallette in iPhoto 11. I have created a book and would like to use a different color background than those given in "background." I have found the color palettes but can't seem to incorporate them into my backgrounds palette.

    I need help with color pallette in iPhoto 11. I have created a book and would like to use a different color background than those given in "background." I have found the color palettes but can't seem to incorporate them into my backgrounds palette.

    That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
    Additionally I have no idea what you are saying here
    I have found the color palettes but can't seem to incorporate them into my backgrounds palette.
    And it always helps for you to dientify the version of iPhoto that you are using

    I have PIXMA MG5320  and I am running Win 8. Software cd does not install. I want to scan, but having trouble.
    I insert USB stick into USB port on the printer.
    I select SCAn and then select USB.  I select  " <i>" key. I do not find any data on the USB stick.
    What gives?
    I cannot install the software  on Windows 8

    Hi jvandal,
    The CD that came with the PIXMA MG5320 does not include Windows 8 drivers and softare, so you would have to download the drivers and software from our website.  Use the following steps to download the drivers and software:
    Go to Canon's Support & Drivers website at:
    http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer
    Enter your model name into the Model Name field, then click GO.
    Select your operating system in the Select Operating System and Select OS Version dropdown lists, respectively.
    Expand the Drivers section by clicking the red triangle.
    Click on the file named MG5300 Mini Master Setup.
    After reading the details and disclaimer, click 'I Agree Begin Download' and save the file to your computer.
    Once the download is complete, double-click the file from its download location to begin the installation.
    Once complete, click the I Decline Go Back to return to the download page.
    Expand the Software section by clicking the red triangle.
    Click on the file named MP Navigator EX Ver 5.0.0.
    After reading the details and disclaimer, click 'I Agree Begin Download' and save the file to your computer.
    Once the download is complete, double-click the file from its download location to begin the installation.
