Impossible importer .m4v dans ibooks author

Bonjour
Je suis dans l'embarras, impossible d'importer un fichier vidéo .m4v converti par Quicktime 10 ou par Final Cut pro X...
toujours le même message : Le fichier multimédia "xxx" n'a pas été ajouté. Une ou plusieurs pistes vidéo ne sont pas gérées. Votre livre n'a pas été modifié.
OS Lion re-installé, iBooks author re-insatllé... J'ai FCP 7 et FCP X insatllé sur la même machine, on dirait qu'il n'arrive pas à avoir accès à un codec, ou qu'une autre appli squeeze le codec...

Dernière info : je peux lire un fichier .m4v intégré dans un fichier iBooks author à condition qu'il ait été importé sur une autre machine. C'est vraiment l'import qui est impossible : le message apparaît à chaque fois que je tente de glisser le fichier vidéo .m4v sur une page de l'appli...

I need help with Compressor 4 settings to convert .mp4 files to .m4v for iBooks Author

I'm a curriculum design guy with no video background. I have Compressor 4, but don't really know much about how to best use it. I'd appreciate some help with getting the right setting for my project. Screen shots of settings would be much appreciated, since I don't know much video terminology.
I'm making an free iBook for students on WWII propaganda using old videos from the Internet archive.
I'd plan to use Compressor to:
1. Convert the .mp4 files to a .m4v that iBooks Author will accept. (I know I can use QT for that, but it increases file size)
2. Use Compressor to reduce file size so my iBook doesn't get too big
3. Get videos that look & sound the best, given the poor quality of the original source videos.
Here's some sample videos that I'll use:

http://archive.org/download/AvengeDe1942/AvengeDe1942_edit.mp4
PS - I will also be editing some of the original videos in iMovie - if I use different settings to prep those videos for iBook Author, let me know.
Much thanks in advance for any help

Compressor is half the size compared to QtX encoding, 17 MBs...
File Format... H.264 for Apple Devices...

What "settings" were used to create the file? (E.g., does it have extraneous data tracks like a secondary AC3 DD5.1 audio track?)

Size & scale images before import or let iBooks Author do it?

I'm importing images into iBooks Author and wondering if I should size them and compress them to roughly the size I need them on the page thus redicing their file size. Or go with the highest resolution and quality and just let iBooks Author compress and scale the pictures. Wonder also what gets the best result.
Is there any benefit to importing high resolution TIF or highest quality JPEGs???
Any help, thoughs, tips appreciated.

Open the Help files and check the section dealing with Graphics.
Better, if you have an iTunes Connect ( if not get one you will need it) account you should open it look for Deliver your Content, top right are a group of PDFs download them.
One is the Asset guide - which give full info about graphics. Including.. Tiff is not acceptable.
Maximum image file size is 3.2 megabyte. For iPad retina ( and basically everything) 2048 x 1536 rsolution is of choice really, subject to the file size and the books size max of 2 gig. Unless all your images are intended for full screen, re-size to suit your layout.
iBA does not compress or scale anything.. thats your job.. and if you get it wrong.. the book will be rejected by the preview team until you sort it out.
Save yourself work and time, download and study the asset guide and the help files.

I created a book cover in Gimp. How do I import it into iBooks Author?

Probably a simple question, but I'll ask: I created a book cover in Gimp. How do I import it into iBooks Author?

It can be in portrait orientation or square, but not landscape.

Import templates for iBooks Author

How can I import more new book templates for iBooks Author?

I don't see a template 'import' per se, but you can take a document/template, modify it and then save it as a custom template if you like. File/Save As Template...

Formatting lost importing Pages to iBooks Author

I having a problem importing a text file from Pages '09 to iBooks Author maintaining some formatting.
My Pages document has some text in bold and some in bold and italics in addition to normal text. Everything is in Arial font in Pages.
When I import the document into iBooks Author all the bold italic text shows up as normal text. About 75% of the bold only text shows up as bold and the rest as normal. When the bold words are in the middle of other text, the bold format is maintained. When the bold text is at the start of a line it shows up as bold or normal after the import.
Any help would be appreciated.

Check the styles in use on the Pages side versus the styles applied on the iBA side....
Test to see if they are reliably honored....

Import from Quark - iBooks Author?

Any chance this can import book layouts from Quark?
I have a book that was originally published by a service bureau using Quark. You'd be amazed at how hard it is to get those Quark files converted to another format at a reasonable price. The choice seems to be to pay $800 for Quark (ok, not huge money, but hate to pay that much for software I'll only use once) or to pay some service bureau even more to do the conversion for you.
Haven't been able to find someone willing to just load in quark and export to a more compatible format at a good price yet. Considering the work required (ie: 10 minutes) you would think someone would be in the business.
There would clearly be a business in this, or if Apple just wanted to get faster uptake on books they could create a webservice to convert Quark, Indesign or other common file formats to iBooks Author so people could get their books online quicker.

You cannot bring in pre-designed page elements or test stylesheets (Quark Layout, InDesign Layouts) directly into iBooks Author to auto-magically maintain your books formatting as it was originallly laid out within your Quark layout files.
The best you can do for your Quark layout files is export all of the text into manageable chucks (unsure how large your book is) and begin importing into iBooks author. Just be aware you will most likely lose any stylsheets (bolding, colorization, paragraph formats) and will have to redo this within iBook Author. If you book has images you will have to get your hands on the original image files that were used during the production of your book as a Quark layout does not store any placed images within its document structure.
With the recent versions of Quark 9...you can now easily export your layouts as eBook formats..perhaps this is what you need done...
Again I am assuming how your book is layed out...perhaps it is as simple as you state. Doable yes. Time commitment yes. Costly? Depends who recreates it for you.

Do MathType equations in Word import effectively into iBooks Author?

I am looking for the best way to build MathType equations in Word to successfully import into iBooks Author.

That seems like an extra step. Since iBooks Author (iBA) already has a "MathType Equation" command on its Insert menu, why not do it directly from iBA?
If, however, you want to do it as you describe (or perhaps you have an existing Word document and you want to use its equations in iBA -- that makes sense), you'll need to build the equations in Word, then select the one you want (i.e., click on it once), copy it, then use the Insert > MathType Equation command in iBA. When MathType opens, paste the equation into the window. Close MathType and the equation will insert into iBA.
Incidentally, WRT TX Aggie SE's suggestion to use the MS Word Equation Editor, I think you'll find that'll produce less than satisfactory results in iBA, no matter if you use the "old" equation editor, or the "new" one that was introduced in Word 2011.

Import pages to ibook author

I am having trouble importing pages document to ibook author and formatting. They are both apple programs, seems like there would be a simple import document process. I have tried to import from ibook author and I get an error message that document isnt a word processing document? Anyone else have this problem and what was your outcome?

Did you do that by going to iBooks Author > Insert > Chapter from Pages or Word Document ?

Importing PDF to iBooks Author

I have a double column book in PDF format of over 300 pages. Is there some way (other than dragging and dropping each of the hundreds of pages into iBooks Author) to import this book into iBooks Author with correct formatting?

Calibre might work.
The dual column could be an issue though.
If it doesn't work, here's a "How To Geek" article on the topic.
http://www.howtogeek.com/80098/convert-pdf-files-to-word-documents-and-other-for mats-2/
There's a bunch of online options given here. I think they're all free for documents up to a certain size.

How do I import templates in iBooks Author?

The folder /Library/Application Support/iBooks Author/Templates does not exist.
Even if I make it, it doesn't work.
Thanks
Bas

Same problem
If I Click the Finder icon in the Dock and choose Go > Go to Folder and enter: ~/Library/Application Support/iBooks Author/Templates/My Templates/
I can see a new template listed there, but it does not show when I go to iBA:File:New from Template Chooser.
Here's hoping they sort it out soon!

How can I automatically import images into iBook Author?

I'd like to make a photo book with a couple hundred photos.
Aside from manually inserting each page, inserting each image, placing/resizing it on the page, is there an easier way to insert many images, and flow them one per page?
thanks in advance

There is no built-in support for automatic inserts, sorry.
I can imagine whipping up an Autormator/AppleScript to do that job, however - in which case success lies in your abilities to put that together, of course.

HT5067 Wipe transition in Keynote lost when imported in iBooks Author

Unfortunately, the wipe transition is not working in iBooks Author. I have a Keynote presentation with shapes that appear using the wipe transition. However, when I import the presentation in iBooks Author and preview it in iBooks, the wipe effect is completely lost

Try exporting your book to .ibooks and load it via the iBooks App. You can then view it on your mac or sync it to your iPad. The transition might work by doing this. The normal preivew is not always reliable.
Also, try deleting the widget and re-import the Keynote Presentation again. I have noticed that sometimes it is a hit and miss for the Keynote presentation to be imported properly (using iBook Author 2.1.1).
Here is a link for all for the supported transitions and builds (information only):

Best of luck!

Why don't KeyNote links work in iBooks Author

Links that work in a Keynote presention on Mac, don't work once that presentation has been imported into an iBooks Author book. Have others had a similar problem?
Thanks

What resolution is the keynote file? I found that when ibooks author scales the keynote file to fit into the widget, the hyperlinks dont scale, or at least not at the same rate as the resto of the document. You may therefore find that the hyperlinks are there - just not in teh place you expect.
