IPhone movie file types

What file types are playable by iPhone? I've tried MP4, AVI and MOV and none are able to be copied over.

With the new QuickTime, you can Export to iPhone! There are expert settings you can use that will make it look a little better, but this is fast and easy, and it works. The files are pretty small too.

  • With Premiere elements 11, when Publish/Share (saving) a finished video, selecting H.264  .mov file type, what are the recommended Codec and Aspect settings for a crisp video and a small file size?

    We will customize a very detailed reply, but
    (a) What are the properties of your source media?
    (b) What did you or the program set as the project preset to match the properties of the source media?
    (c) What specific requirements do you have for this H.264.mov export file?
    File size can be a compromise between bitrate, file size, and quality.
    Thanks.

  • HT1363 what movie file types will work on a iPod classic 80GB?

    I am trying to download movies onto my ipod, they are in the library but I get an error saying wrong file type.  Do they have to have an extention and if so, what is the acceptable flie?
    Thanks

    Are these downloads from the iTunes Store? If so, it sounds like you are trying to sync the HD version of the video.  You should try to download the Standard Definition copy instead and sync that to your device as HD content is not compatible with the Nano.  See here for more information:
    iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
    To prevent HD versions from being downloaded in the future head to the iTunes Store, click the Purchased link, and then select Movies/TV Shows and remove the tick mark next to Download HD when available.  You should be able to download the SD version now from under this same page.

  • Quicktime, Movie File Types & CandyBar

    I have just three questions:
    1) With the new upgrade to OS X Mavericks, it seems as though Quicktime is extra picky about converting certain file types when I open them, particulary avi's......which used to open with no problem in earlier versions of OS X. Is this a quirk that I'm going to have to deal with for now, or is there a codec I can install to rectify this?
    2) When listing different file types in Finder in OS X Mavericks, Windows Media Files (.wmv) are being listed as documents, and not movies (see below) This wasn't the case in OS X Mountain Lion. Is this another quirk or is there something I can do to have the .wmv files listed correctly?
    3) Any word on when CandyBar will be updated for OS X Mavericks? If not, is there another way to change the look of the default folder icon? I already know how to change the icons for specific folders, but CandyBar helped me change the look of the default folder icon, thereby changing the look of ALL folders on my Mac.

    Quicktime files can be MPEG-4 video, and should be
    transferable to your iPod.
    If you get info on the video file in question what
    does it say?
    when i click get info it says the kind/type is a quicktime movie file.....i was jus mainly wondering why some podcast videos have quicktime video file, while others have the mpeg-4 video file...its almost like and OCD (obssesive complusive disorder) thng for me.....but as long as they can still transfer to the ipod i should be fine....

  • 'Movies' file type clarity?

    I have a 5G iPod. I have an TV.
    I want the optimal video conversion for my TV, and may also make additional optimised conversions for the iPod.
    They all just sit in 'Movies' in iTunes. Other than a naming convention - tedious & time consuming - is there any way to separate the file types and clarify their intended destinations/ utilisations?
    :^?

    If File Type Associations are set properly in the Bridge preferences, the default setting can be made to open files in PS CS3, with CS4 installed. This works from within CS3 and CS4. However, it sometimes happens that one is in the Finder, and the default remains PS CS4, however much one tries (via File-Get Info) to modify the default system-wide settings so that these files open in CS3. In any event, a bit invasive. Of course, if I could get comfortable with the Adjustment Layer Panels, all this would be unnecessary, but for the moment, there appear to be too many clicks, and it is going to take some time, so I don't want to burn bridges. Perhaps there is also some ambiguity in my mind as to what the pointing finger in the new Curves dialogue box, much like a tolling bell, is trying to tell me.
    But thanks, once again Anne, for your good-natured help.

  • Problem with .mov file type in premier elements 10 on windows 7

    My canaon power shot elph movie uses .mov (apple file) which I sent to PE10.  When I try to play it in PE10 only audio plays, there is no sink between audio and video.  If I move the marker under the vidio the vidio will follow the mark playing.  I am on window 7 pc.  Any ideas?  There is a audo vidil link in CLIP, but if is not hi-lited so I can activate it.  I want to do some editing and then burn a DVD to play on my TV.  Help!!!!

    There is an epidemic of display issues targeting specifically Premiere Elements 10 users whose computer use a NVIDIA video card. For now, the answer is to roll back the video card driver version rather than to assure that you have the latest video card driver installed on your computer. Please check out the following thread in this regard and determine if any this applies to your situation.

    Once we rule this factor out, we can move on to other troubleshooting schemes.
    What John T. Smith has asked is do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with your Premiere Elements 10. If you do, the latest version is 7.7.4. You should be able to find confirming information on that in Help Menu/About QuickTime in the opened QuickTime. That is not a codec number. It is the version number (latest version) for the QuickTime program on which Premiere Elements is very dependent.
    As for codec, in this case, the question being asked is what is the video compression in your file that has the .mov file extension. If you do not know and do not have access to a video properties reader (such as MediaInfo), perhaps we could get the needed information from the brand/model/settings information for the camera that was used to record the video.
    Please review. We will be watching for your progress.
    Thanks.

  • Best movie file type

    I am wanting to rip all of my dvds onto a hard drive that I will leave connected to my TV so that I no longer need to keep changing discs every time I want to watch something new and live in fear of scratching and ruining the discs.
    However, I am not sure what file type I should be creating or the codecs I should be using (video and audio). If the file type isnt supported by the TV, I will play the file on my comp and use the TV as an external display, so dont worry about that.
    Could someone please tell me the specs of the files I should be creating (and a decent app to use as well)?
    I have googled this but can't find anything very good. If anyone knows of a site explaining this stuff, please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Sam.

    Well, it might help to tell us what kinds of files your TV supports.
    I dont care if my TV supports it or not as I can just play it through my computer. I have heard that h.264 is the one to use but I really don't know much about this stuff. Is that an mp4 file, encoded using h.264? or what??

    You may need to play with the settings (data rate, etc) to find a good set of values which streams well for you.
    I dont really understand all of that stuff. I would have thought that to keep as much quality as possible, selecting the options with the highest numbers would be the way to go (shows how much I know). Am I right?
    Cheers.

  • Does anyone know a converter from the new iTunes TV/movie file type to one that will work on my 5th generation iPod video?

    I just tried to load some new TV shows from my iTunes onto my 5th generation iPod video and it says the video format is not supported. I currently have dozens of TV shows and movies on the iPod, I just wanted to put some new stuff on there. So I need to know if there is anyway of converting the new iTunes video format into one that will run on my 5th generation iPod.
    Thnaks in advanced.

    When you drag a movie from the Media Browser to the Time lIne in GarageBand, you will see a pop-up "Extracting Audio".
    The Movie and the audio file will appear in separate tracks. You can copy the audio region from the sound track to a different track to keep it safe and then hide the Movie track.

  • Move file types over a certain date (beginner)

    I'm trying to move all pictures over a definable date to a certain folder.
    Here's my script so far - 
    ##Archive files that are older than a certain date
    $date = "01/12/2013"
    [array]$OldestFileImport = get-childitem "*.jpg" | where-object {$_.LastWriteTime -le [datetime]::$date}
    ##$OldestFileImport.count
    move-item $OldestFileImport -Destination "C:\users\USER NAME\pictures"
    I have copied elements of that, as I'm not really sure why / when you're meant to use variables that have the $_Text format rather than the $Text... I don't really get that. 
    Apparently the path created by this is null... But I don't really know why. 
    cheers!

    Try the below:
    ##Archive files that are older than a certain date
    $date = "01/12/2013"
    [array]$OldestFileImport = get-childitem "*.jpg" | where-object {$_.LastWriteTime -le [datetime]::$date}
    ##you need to get an array of strings stored in your variable...the select-object can be put in above pipeline as well
    $oldestfileimport = $oldestfileimport | selct-object -expandproperty Fullname
    move-item -Path $oldestFileImport -Destination "C:\users\USER NAME\pictures"
    I tested the above in PowerShell v3 it works.
    If you look at the help for Move-Item then you will see the -Path parameter expects an array of strings as the input...whereas earlier in your code it is the collection of System.IO.FileInfo Objects.
    For more help ...use the help Move-Item -Full
    Hope this helps

  • Why can't I change movie file type

    Hey all,
    I'm running iTunes12 on PC, and I have some mp4 movies I would like to put in the library! I added the file to the library and it goes straight to home videos, which is fine as I'm used to just right clicking and clicking on get info and changing that to "movie" so it adds to my movies library. Only problem is that now, all the information that I used to be able to change is greyed out and I can't change it or anything... not even the name. I really would like to find out what's causing this! I already checked the file and it's not read-only. HELP

    Thanks for your reply.
    I'm trying to print from organizer. It was all working fine with Elements 8 on my Dell but now I have a new HP and Elements 11. Tried Printer Preferences but it still didn't work. Ugh!

  • Converting Movie File Types to be Compatible with iTunes

    The videos I'm trying to import are .avi files. I know that iTunes needs .mov or .mp4, so is there any way to convert them to be compatible with iTunes?
    Thanks!

    This is how I do it:
    Open iMovie and import the .avi file
    Go to Share and select iPod
    There are probably other ways but this one works just fine for my needs

  • IPhone .mov files not supported

    I'm running Aperture 3.2.1 and OSX 10.7.2 and I have an iPhone 4. I very recently migrated from iPhoto to Aperture.
    When I download the photos and videos from my iPhone to Aperture now, they all appear in the Aperture library as they are supposed to. However, the videos do not have a thumbnail, but a black/blank image with a triangle/exclamation point in the center. It reads "Unsupported video format" and when I try to play the links, they do not play. I can however, open them in Quicktime and they play fine. Previously they appeared in iPhoto and could be played there, if I recall correctly.
    I apologize if this is explained elsewhere, but AAPL's funky search feature for the forums has defeated me. Can anyone explain for me:
    a) Is this how Aperture is supposed to work with the iPhone? (boggles the mind, but possible)
    b) If not, how to fix?
    c) If so, are there workarounds available?
    I liked the way iPhone video was handled in iPhoto, but Aperture is much better with its imaging capabilities. But it bugs the **** out of me that I can't sort/review my videos in the same application.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hello sarbsohi,
    This can be resovled by creating a version of the file that is compatible with your iPhone.
    Select a video and choose File > Create New Version > Create iPod or iPhone Version.
    iTunes: Videos may be unable to sync to iPhone, iPad, or iPod

  • What movie file types will front row recognise?

    will it play any windows media or asf files?

    Besides playing DVD movies, Front Row does not really "play" anything. It will open iTunes in the background and play your music. It will open iPhoto in the background and play your pictures. If you choose the "Movies" section, it will open the QuickTime Player in the background and play your movies. So, as long as you can open and play your movies manually with the QuickTime Player, you can access them in Front Row.

  • How do I get iPhone movies into iTunes' movie menu in the sidebar?

    I've tried to get iPhone movies into iTunes, but they turn into .MOV files and won't transfer!
    I've tried exporting iPhone movie files from iPhoto into iTunes shared movie files (Movies folder), but
    they don't appear in the iTunes movie list!  They don't appear in the iPad video app either!
    What's the story!  .  .  .  . thanks f

    Allan,  I tried all you suggested.  I ended up with 'IMG' files in the source list, and they won't play.  When double clicked they try to open for a blink, then back to the list.
    When exporting the iPhone video from iPhoto, what did you fill out in the dialogue box.  All I saw were selections referring to photos (jpeg, medium, etc.) I didn't see choices for video!  Wouldn't it be just as easy to just drag
    the video from the iPhoto thumbnails to the desktop?  Am I missing something here?
    Thanks again
