IMovie or QuickTime to view on iPod w/ video?

My father-in-law just got an iPod w/ video. Can I create iMovie or QuickTime projects that he can view on his iPod?
I want to create a short video project, post it to my .mac page for file-sharing and have him download it and post it on his iPod.
I have iMovie 4 but use iMovie 3 because of stability problems.
Thanks in advance for any insight on this.

Steven:
Go to file-->export. If everything is updated on your mac, then there should be a movie to iPod option. This will create a quicktime file. Drag that to iTunes and then sync to your iPod.

Exporting from imovie to quicktime movie

I have a 1080i HD movie in imovie I want to export to a quicktime file. In imovie the file is 50 gigabites. When I export at full quality it turns it from 16:9 to 4:3. When I go to expert settings and render it to a quicktime movie only the sound comes through...no video. This only happens with this particular movie. Other short movies I have are compressed to quicktime in HD just fine. I need suggestions how to render this from imovie to quicktime so I can keep the video in HD.

I tried that and it makes a file without
video...sound only.
Itsounds like you didn't have the Sound box checked.

Compress from imovie to quicktime, saving chapters

Hello,
I am creating movies in imovie and compressing them into quicktime movies. I have created chapters in imovie and want to preserve the chapters in the quicktime movie. What compression settings should I use for this?

I can't find a chaptered reference movie from the movies I have created.Not sure if this means you found the proper folder and it was empty or if it means you didn't know how to open the project package files. Not knowing your level of experience, will assume the latter for the moment.
1) Locate your iMovie project file
2) Control-mouse click on the icon
3) Mouse click the "Show Package Contents" option in the windw that opens
4) Double-click the "Shared Movies" folder to open it
5) Double-click the "iDVD" folder to open it
6) Double-click the reference MOV file that represents your current iMovie timeline to open it in the QT Player
If your iMovie timeline contains a chaptered movie/clip segment, the the QT Player should be displaying it with the chapter feature at this time. (Try selecting chapters at random in the chapter pop-up list to ensure the feature is working correctly.)
Is there a way to save the movie from imovie to quicktime with the chapters that is not so huge?If by this you are asking if it is possible to convert the movie to a new format with a much smaller file size (and/or display dimensions) and retain the chapter track, then the answer is no (as far as I know). However, you can extract the chapter data from the reference file described above and apply it to such a converted file.
I also can't find a way to save a text file from imovie. Could you explain a bit more?I personnally would recommend use of a third-party utility to do this -- Metadata Hootenanny 1.1.4 (free) -- if you are using a PPC G5 here. The following would be a typical workflow when using this utility:
1) Export your chaptered movie from iMovie to your desired format (e.g., "Movie to iPod") in the normal manner
2) Open Metadata Hootenanny and drop the iMovie reference file onto the "Library/Playlist" work area
3) Press the "Open Book" icon to switch to the "Chapters" area to view chaptering data
4) Press the "Save to Text File..." button the save the chapter data
5) Press the "List" icon to return to the "Library/Playlist" area
6) Delete/Clear the reference file from the list
7) Drop your converted target file to the "Library/Playlist" area
8) Press the "Open Book" icon to switch to the "Chapters" area again
9) Ensure "Scale Chapters from Files" and "Allow Editing Chapter Times" options are set
10) Press the "Open File" button and load the chaper text file saved above
11) Test capter markers using he integrated media player and adjust frames/chapters if required
12) Return to the "Library/Playlist" area, sace the chaptered file, clear the list, and quit
13) Open the Movie in the QT Player, test chapters, set presentation options if desired, add graphic and set as poster frame if desired, deselect any active selected area if desired, reset play head to beginning of movie if needed, and use "Save As..." to rename final movie/reset "fast start" option as desired if destined for web use.
Am currrently busy working on a project so I can't prepare a better example of this work flow, but here is a LINK to an older sample file made in this manner.

How do I convert old work done with iMovie HD 6 to view/work with iMovie 11 on my new iMac?

How do I convert old work done with iMovie HD 6 to view and work with in iMovie 11 on my new iMac?

If you still have your iMovie 6 project, you can import it using FILE/IMPORT/iMovieHD Project.
If all you have is the finished movie, you can FILE/IMPORT MOVIE.
If your movie is in DV Stream format, it is advisable to convert it to QuickTime MOV container containing DV codec. Otherwise, the import will be chronological by the date and time the clip was shot, rather than in edited order.

Quicktime Movies To iTunes/iPod

Well, I'm wanting to put movies on my iTunes, and I used to be able to, when I had iTunes 6, but now it doesnt seem to let me, I have handbrake and iSquint and i even try sharing them from iMovie and Quicktime but it doesnt add them to my movies on iTunes. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Highlight the movie file(s) and in the iTunes Advanced menu choose Convert selection for iPod and see if that works. As long as they're in the MPEG-4 format it should work.

Unable to Sync Quicktime Movie Clips with IPOD

I am a new ipod user having difficulty syncing Quicktime movie clips to IPOD.
Clips are saved as .mov files and Itunes will play.
However I cannot get them to sync woth IPOD.
Any ideas - Do I need to convert to annother format?

First you need to import your movies into iTunes. Do this by opening iTunes <File> <Import> <Movies> then choose the movie you want to put on your iPod. Make sure the movie has .mov at the end otherwise it won't be set up the way it's supposed to be.
Once the movie is imported into iTunes right click on it so a pull down menu appears. Click on <Convert Selection for iPod/iPhone>. It should begin converting it on its own and when it's done you'll hear the typical sound that happens after importing a cd, telling you the operation is complete.
After it's converted, you will have 2 identical movies in your menu. If you <Get Info> on each, you should be able to see which is newest version; that is the movie you are going to want to sync.
Then plug your iPod in to iTunes, go to the movie tab in iPod summary and check off the converted movies you want to sync to your iPod. Press <Sync> and that should add your movies to your iPod.
Hope this helps.

I have my iMovies in QuickTime format on an external drive. Is there anyway to show them from the external drive without putting them into iTunes?

I havei my personal iMovies in QuickTime format on an external drive. I prefer not to have to import them into my iTunes library which is nearly 1GB already. Is there any way to play them from my MacBook Pro through Apple TV 2 without importing them into iTunes?

Just wanted to add a little to the excellent comments from those above... I have debated on adding the content to iTunes or just accessing the content through some folder structure.
What has worked best for me and my family:
use VideoDrive - http://www.aroona.net/VideoDrive/Home.html to import the videos/tvshows into iTunes and make them in the correct format for my iPad/iPhone/AppleTV devices in the house. This software is cheap and excellent and make the adding of content to iTunes (i everything) easy!
I store my videos on a usb 2tb drive and my tvshows on a different usb 2tb drive. And I swap a drive out every year or so and give old drive away to family/friends. That way my media drives are new(ish) and 1 drive is never older than 2 years.
for media that I don't want to add to iTunes I still use AirVideo as it is an excellent piece of software. I also use AirVideo to allow me to access content on my home network over the internet.
my "media server" is a simple 4 year old intel mac mini with 1 gig of ram best $700 I spent when I first flipped to all things mac. Family now have 2 mbp's, 2 iPads, 4 iphones and 1atv (2nd gen)
I'm working on a document that shows how I did my setup - if you want to read more please feel free to download my preview - https://files.me.com/lee.gaupp/aq0gst
Would enjoy feedback

I cant view my photos and videos in my ipod

hello peps!

many thanks!

If you have a boot SSD, no way.
If you have a boot hard drive, not Filevaulted, you can STOP using the computer as it writes to the drive all the time.
You then have a choice of taking your computer to a local PC/Mac repair shop, and say you need "Data Rescue" to recover deleted files out of a deleted Guest Account, it will cost a few hundred dollars.
Or you can do it yourself, for a external hard drive (blank) and $100 Data Rescue type software.
Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
When you install OS X on a external drive, you won't be booting into OS X that has the deleted files, just the Recovery HD partiton that's seperate.

"Edit menu in Photoshop" opens up QuickTime picture viewer

As the subject line suggests, when I right-click a menu and select "Edit menu in Photoshop" from the pulldown, it opens up QuickTime picture viewer. Somehow, Encore or this function in Encore has gotten reassociated with QuickTime. Any idea how to get it going to Photoshop again instead? Or, any idea of a work-around to open up the menu in Photoshop manually? (Where can I access the menu psd files?)

You need to associate psd files with Photoshop.
Go to a psd file and right click on it and open with..
Set it to Always open with this program.

Itunes + quicktime error message - service 'ipod service' (ipod service) fa

Help! Got new iPod Nano for Christmas and I STILL cannot get it to show up in iTunes - it has showed up in my device manager - with an over the icon - "The drivers for this device are not installed (code 28) To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Drivers. - Then another error - Wizard cannot find the software to instal -(my iPod did not come with a disk!!!) I have done the "R's" several times! Downloaded and installed and uninstalled several x's from iTunes. Changed USB locations - I have three to choose from. Now - I am 'repairing' the latest installation from iTunes and I get this "itunes + quicktime error message - service 'ipod service' (ipod service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services". Any ideas??? I'm not a computer genious....but I'm not a complete newbie, either! I am so FRUSTRATED!!!! This should be that difficult - I added additional RAM and it was a breeze and successful! This is just ridiculous! Any one have any other ideas???? I have read so much - even emptied the battery and recharged!!! HELP! Please! I just wanna hear some music!!! waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Thanks - I got it to install by going into 'run' to get to permissions, etc. So that seems OK - but my computer is still not acknowledging iPod software and for some reason iTunes is now showing 'the URL could not be opened' when I go into Help for iPod. It's still not showing up in Itunes, either

Does it print?

Upgraded - now cant view my ipod song list

Hi, since upgrading my itunes to itunes 7 I've not been able to successfully view my ipod. All songs saved in the pc and the itunes store appear to be ok but when I connect my ipod (mini) I can't locate my songlist on the pc anywhere. Can anyone advise me please??
Thanks so much

Click on the chevron > to the left of the iPod icon in the Source list. This will display the various icons for the iPod itself, Music, Movies, TV Shows and Playlists. Click on Music and you'll see the traditional song view with the information at the bottom.

Images rotated when viewed on ipods/ipads

Some images on ecommerce site are rotated 90 degrees when viewed on ipods and ipads. The site is http://ladiesdesignerfashions.co.uk and its not just images on the slider on the home page but also images on product pages. The images all appear to be set up correctly and I can't see why they are being rotated.

Hi Jim,
Could you please mention the models and OS versions of the devices that render the page with issues?

Error-50 sharing imovie to quicktime

I have been failing at getting my imovie into quicktime...its 212 minutes long and I'm saving it to an external Hard drive results in error-50...what is my problem? too long?
last week before my previous hard drive crashed...it was error -39 and I made it as short as I could with same error -39.
HELP! Is there a decrypter program for MAC that I could use?

Hi James,
just to add catspaw's excellent advices...:
both error codes indicate some trouble with the file system.. esp -39 tells us, at the end of the file, "something's missing"... (I'm not an engineer, my words...)
besides the fact, that 212min is VERY long (my audience falls asleep after TWENTY min of homebrewn projects), my guess is: you use some "computational codec" meaning, (you haven't told us, WHAT QT codec have choosen), I assume, you tried mpeg4, h263 etc.. so, Mac needs loooong time to render; external drive falls asleep (=standby)... and between wake-up and writing data, something got lost....
step one: try again, set energy savings to zero...
in case you're interested in "Apple errorcodes", google for it, my list is in German ;-))
