Is Keynote sloooooooow to export to iPod format (including narration)?

I have a 10-slide Keynote presentation where, as an experiment, I recorded a narration. When I chose Export... and then clicked on the iPod icon, I chose (well, agreed with the preselected) Playback Uses Recorded Timing, and Include the slideshow recording. There was no background music or any audio other than the narration I recorded from within Keynote itself. I chose a target for the file and fired away.
One year later...
No, it didn't take that long, but it took about TWICE as long to output as it had taken for me to make the recording in the first place! It felt like forever. The output was 640 by 480, which I thought was pretty big for an iPod, but I didn't see any option to reduce the screen size (and thus, presumably the encoding time and file size).
Is that normal? I'm using a MacBook Pro, 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 GB of RAM. I'm running Snow Leopard, 10.6.6.
I just tried to upload it to my university's online Blackboard container, and it tells me that the 129 MB file size is too big for the maximum of 60 MB, so I definitely need to find a way to output a smaller file.
In sum, my questions are: Is it normal for it to take this long?
Is there a way to make the file smaller and still be iPod-appropriate?
And one more: The file extension it chose was .mov; isn't a different extension normal for podcasts?

PS: I'm using Keynote '09, version 5.0.5 (942).

Hello, I am using keynote 08 ad I have 20 slides. I put narration on the first 3 slides. When I export them to Quicktime or Flash it only exports the 3 slides that have narration and it doesn't export the remaining 17.. Does anyone know what I need to do? any suggestions?
Thanks

Exporting movies to iPod format

I've got an iPod video. I've got some files that are videos and using QuickTime Pro to export to iPod format. The problem that I have is that for a 12 minute video, it took more than 12 hours to get to only 39% completed. This is slow by any standards and virtually unusable. I've running QuickTime pro 7.0.3 on a Windows XP 3 GHz 512 Mb RAM.
Can anyone help me? Are there any settings that are not right? Or is this normal?
Many thanks,

I have had the same 8% problem and when I tried contacting customer support, they first redirected me 3 times, then told me they couldn't help me do anything but install and run the demo movie. I am completely upset with apple on this purchase and it seems nobody has a solution to this problem. The worst part is the fact apple suggests "pro" to convert your files and there is no demo or warning how bad this product is for this. Another program in addition to Videora that works way better is PQ DVD to Ipod Converter. I downloaded the demo and the demo is far easier and more convenient than quicktime. It only costs $5 more than pro too.

Keynote Exports to iPod

I have posteed this to Keynote Feedback, but maybe someone else has an answer:
I'm not sure if this is a Keynote problem or an iPod problem, but when exporting a Keynote 08 with narration (either through GarageBand or iTunes), the final m4v file won't play properly on an iPod. Many slides will only play part of the audio then go silent until the next slide comes on. The files, both the .mov files and the converted .m4v files, play perfectly on the computer, but when copied to the iPod, they show this problem. I have tested it on two different video iPods.

I'm also experiencing the same problem; including the GarageBand and iTunes. The Export to iPod is a nice options for a recorded presentation if it works ... but it most definitely isn't for me.

Cannot export videos into iPod format?????

I have Quicktime Pro, and recently exported some 15 video or so into iPod format, then imported them into iTunes for storage on my 60 GB iPod 5G. Imagine my surprise to find the error message that some of the videos, including all but three of the ones I exported,cannot be played on my iPod. I even tried using iTunes to re-export the videos in iPod format, to no avail.
What's the deal? I thought the "export to iPod" option in Quicktime Pro 7.1.2 and the "convert selection to iPod" function in iTunes was so that I could vide my videos on this iPod. Why is this no longer working?????

There are some files (such as MPEG-1 and those with muxed audio) that Quicktime has trouble converting. I use iSquint for converting videos for my iPod, and it works great. It's faster than Quicktime, and it's also free!

Quick Time 7 Pro's export function for iPod format failed

The export function starts to format a video for the fixed iPod format. At 17% of the reformating job, the process stops?!
Does everyone knows a solution for that? Thanks in advance.

Exporting to the iPod settings takes a long time.
Try a test using a one minute "cut" from your file. Time the export and you'll have an idea how long the entire file will take to export.

Exporting videos to Ipod format qith QuickTime Pro

Hey guys,
i just recently bought an Ipod Video, and i use Quicktime Pro to convert videos to ipod format for it. My problem is that the converted video (M4V) never has any audio. Wheather i try listening to is on my computer or on the ipod, no audio at all. Did anyone experience the same thingf? Does anyone know what i'm doing wrong, or how to fix it?
thank you,
-chris-

Open the original video in QT Player and check MovieInfo. If it says the video is a muxed mpeg then QT Player Pro will not convert the sound from such videos: QT Mpeg Limitations
Some Windows users have reported success with this freeware Windows program.

Other report problems so no guarantee it will work for you.

Lose sound when exporting MPEG with QuickTime to iPod format

I paid the $30 to be upgrade to QuickTime Pro in the hopes that I would be able to export MPEGs from my digital camera for viewing in iPods. The video comes out fine but there is no sound. Any suggestions regarding how to get the sound to export too?

Thanks; the discussion is helpful.
When I downloaded the MPEG Streamclip software from http://www.squared5.com/; the conversion process was agonizingly slow. As an example, a single 6 minute Quicktime movie took hours to convert. After it was converted, then it not was recognizable by iTunes. So, MPEG Streamclip has not worked for me.
This seems like such a straightforward process that Apple would support. Basically, you can create iPhoto albums that synchronize with iPods; however you CAN NOT create Slideshows that synchronize with iPods. This is so frustrating since the slideshows have much more functionality and presumably would be what most people would find most useful. The process to get a slideshow to the iPod requires you to go through Quicktime and then Quicktime to ipod; this process only occassionally seems to work.
Anyway, Quicktime Pro, the $30 application, seems to sometimes work and sometimes not work for conversion of Quicktime files to iPods. I tried using non AAC protected audio files for the iPhoto slideshow sound and the conversion from Quicktime to iPod worked. In other cases, the conversion from Quicktime Pro to iPod did not work. I am at a loss to explain consistently what is happening when you use Quicktime to export to the iPod. When I open the Quicktime movie file the option to Export to iPod is grayed out. However, when I open the Quicktime application the option is black and available.

How to export HD to iPod format from FCP?

I have a 1080i timeline and am trying export using the iPod export..but instead of scaling it down to 320x180 (16:9) it scales it to 320x240 (4:3) filling the whole screen. Is there a setting or something I am missing?
Is anyone exporting from FCP in HDV and exporting to iPod? Love to hear some ideas or sites for more info about this. Thanks
Frank

Frank, when I began creating video podcasts Compressor wasn't able to create iPod-compatible H.264 videos (go figure?) so I looked elsewhere.
I came across ffmpegX and just love that program!
Now, I don't typically use it on HDV footage as my current podcast is all DVCAM, but I just gave it a shot with some HDV I shot a couple of months ago.
Worked like a charm. 2-pass VBR took 5 minutes for a 1 minute test clip. 320x180 16:9 apsect ratio. You can either export your timeline as a self-contained QT movie, or as a Ref. movie to save some space. Plus, ffmpregX can batch a bunch of files at once. I find that 500kbps for the video and 96kbps for the audio works pretty well and keeps the quality:file size ratio in good order. Play around with the settings and then create a preset.
Good luck!

Converting files to iPod format troubles.

When i go to convert my files into the iPod format, it starts exporting it but it always stops at either 8% or 9% Is anyone else having the same problem? I've reinstalled quicktime and it didnt help. Can someone help me with this please.

Hey. If you let it sit for a while, it'll go past 8 or 9%. But it goes very slow. Unfortunately, I havent had a single file to work yet. It's really making me upset. I've had some get all the way through and I can watch the video but there's no sound. Let me know if you get anywhere with this.

CS4, Bad ghosting exporting to iPod

All,
I need clips from a DVD transferred to a classic iPod.
I got the sequence from the DVD in the timeline. I export the media to an mp4 large iPod format. The output shows people moving around like ghosts. How can I prevent it from trying to blend so many frames together so people don't look transparent?
.. Jim ..

Jim,
Welcome to the forum.
You might not be able to do a lot about the quality, as you are starting with DVD footage, which has been heavily compressed to MPEG-2, to begin with. You are then compressing it more with the H.264 CODEC, though you are reducing the Frame Size. Another issue that you have is that you are starting with Interlaced footage, and displaying that on a Progressive screen.
Is it possible to go back to the source footage for that DVD? That would save you one major compression, which WILL show up with much motion?
Good luck,
hunt

Freezing when converting MPG to iPod Format

I open a MPG in QT Pro, and it plays it fine, but when I export it to the iPod format it seems to work fine, then it freezes at 8% every time.
At the moment I'm converting it to a MPEG4, which seems to be working fine, if I can't get the iPod format conversion working, will an iPod play a MPEG4?

Too bad it froze but if it had not you would have found that QT will not export sound from an mpeg-1 or mpeg-2 files anyway: QT Mpeg Limitations
Yes it will play mpeg4 format and that will export much faster than using the default H264 format.
You may want to take a look at this Apple iPod FAQ:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301461
You will need to convert the mpeg to another format so that you can have sound in it when you export. One workaround for mpeg-1 files is to use this Windows freeware to convert the mpeg-1 to uncompressed avi format. Just open the mpeg-1 in VDub and then go to the File menu and choose Save as Avi. The file will be converted to uncompressed avi sound and video, which QT has no problem reading. VirtualDub

Converting Movie to Ipod format thru Quicktime Pro

I purchase the QuicktimePro Registration key for Windows(XP), to convert movies(mp4) format to Ipod(30gb).
QuicktimePro DOES NOT convert mpeg-4 to Ipod format, m4v or mov? I know Quicktime pro is only a few dollars, but I spent for something that I did not enjoy. A very useless feature.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. thank you.

Hello Sujay, are you a Quicktime Tech support? sorry it was too late when I found out that I posted my issue in the wrong Forum, this is my first time, I apologize.
Sorry too, that I did not explain in full detail. Yes, I followed the xact instruction in the manual, followed one of the QT-Tech Support, he even gave me a supporting/reading materials related to my inquiry, I have 2 co-workers behind my shoulders who tried to help but no luck.
My OS is XP, Quicktime plays all my movies(mp4)format without a problem, but when it comes to exporting, (Movie to iPod 320X240)the exported movie is successful but still in mp4 format, instead of m4v I believe.
Did you have a successful conversion? Can you tell me where my missing piece is, please? Thank you with your full attention.

Problems converting video to iPod format

So I just finished setting up my new video iPod, new firmware, latest iTunes version, etc.
I subscribed to several new video podcasts and they were delivered as .mov files. So I right-clicked, selected "convert to iPod" and waited.
Everything went fine (mostly, one podcast kept telling me the file wasn't found, but I could play it in iTunes).
But when I tried to sync any and all of the videos to the iPod, iTunes told me that it was in an unsupported format!
Heck, I even ripped a movie to iPod format (the H.264 codec) with Instant Handbrake and iTunes doesn't like that. Or the video that I created from iPhoto.
Reading here, it sounds like the only option to fix this is to use iSquint or one of the other converters. That's a real whip, since it sorta kills the concept of "easy updating" that is a podcast.
Have we just written off the Apple functionality? Is there a way to make it work? Am I doing something wrong? Is there a problem with the iPod?
Thanks!
Jake

I can be of minimal help. Some Video Podcasts are downloaded ready for the iPod (example: NBC Nightly News) and some are meant to be watched on the computer (Example: MacBreak).
I personally use Quicktime Pro for converting movie files to the iPod. Quicktime Pro has an "Export for iPod" option that has, of course, worked flawlessly. The reason I say minimal help is that you'd have to purchase Quicktime Pro for $30 or whatever the cost is these days. Another advantage is that it'll play your videos fullscreen. Which isn't necessarily a good thing though depending on the video quality.
I personally haven't converted any non-iPod Video Podcasts but this is how would probably do it. Drag it out to your Desktop; open it in Quicktime; Export for iPod and save to your Desktop; Drag the new iPod friendly Video back into iTunes. Could be a better way but that'd work and be my first attempt.

IPod formatted on windows cross platform, but not Mac ????

I experimented with my 5th Gen 30gig Video iPod this weekend. It was originally formatted for windows, which was great because it would work on a mac or pc. i wanted the latest update for the iPod so I reformatted the iPod using the disk on my mac and rebuilt everything-imported all songs again, etc. Why is that a mac formatted iPod will only work on macs, but a windows formatted iPod will work on a Mac or PC? Nuts to me. I use PodUtil, but are there any freewares out there that will help me to export all my songs, including their playlists so that when I reformat this iPod back to a windows disk, i can just import all the music again, including the playlists with the songs present ?

"Why is that a mac formatted iPod will only work on macs, but a windows formatted iPod will work on a Mac or PC? Nuts to me."
Blame Microsoft. It's their doing that Windows will not recognize the HFS+ file format system.
If you need to use a Mac (HFS+) formatted iPod on a Windows PC, you'll need to install some 3rd party software such as XPlay 2.0 (which you can get from MediaFour Software). This will enable your Windows PC to read a Mac-formatted iPod.
