Is there a solution for surviving the millions of different codecs?

Hi
Once again, I find I can't use a video file which has been passed to me. It won't open in Quicktime, FCE or iMovie. It was encoded as an mpeg in Premiere Elements, although I'm aware that this doesn't really mean much. I can open it in VLC - the codec is 'mpgv' and the audio 'a52'. I tried downloading a a52 component, but no luck.
Why are there simply so many incompatible ways of encoding video files? Is there some kind of 'toolkit' app which will have a go at converting video files?
Or is it just a matter of specifying exactly how a file should be encoded before it is sent to you? If so, how can I find out what FCE needs?
Thanks
Ben

Or is it just a matter of specifying exactly how a file should be encoded before it is sent to you? If so, how can I find out what FCE needs?
FCE works at fixed resolutions.
Open the Easy Setup you are using and the info is there.
The files need to conform to either NTSC or PAL DV specs.
Audio should be aiff files of either 32 or 48kHz. The reason you would choose 48 or 32 is mainly decided by the camera that shot the footage. If you shot with 12 bit audio then that's the equivalent of 32kHz for FCE.
16 bit = 48kHz.

The ipod touch 5.1 software is rebooting constantly, is there a solution for this, the ipod touch 5.1 software is rebooting constantly, is there a solution for this

My new ipod touch (software 5.1) is rebooting constantly, white display problems, stuck problems, it is new, do you have a solution? is it software or hardware? I have visited you tube and I am surprised about a lot of problems like this

If you can't turn it off, then let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour, tyrb a reset and restore. If it continue to reboot then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Download the music to your ipod when you are in a wi-fi area.
It will be stored on your ipod.

That's quite odd Rob8, but we can definitely get to the bottom of this. When did it start? Do you delete heavy and older threads? Please go to Settings>General>About. What is capacity? What's available?

Is there a solution for the limited time of videorecording?

Is there a solution for the limited time of videorecording?
By recording on my iPad2 there is a maximum time of 49 minutes and 51 seconds.

Hello Studio X
I have an iPad2 with 64 GB. After I start the videorecording it stops automaticly by 49 minutes en 51 seconds.
I looked in my settings and there was still enough space left. Although I do not think that the 64Gb is not the problem.
I bought myself an alternative recording app now. I hope it works properly but if the quality is OK. I do not know. I combine the recordings with my video (digitaltape) camera of Sony.
Thanks for your reply

If you are using the iPhone camera zoom then remember that this is a digital zoom not an optical zoom. The zoomed in area will have fewer pixels and not appear as clear. The more you zoom the worse it gets. It's like cropping a picture after it has been taken.

Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

I transfered a picture folder to my tc and now it occupies space on the tc but I can't open it. I there a solution for this?

I transfered a picture folder to my Time Capsule (3Gbit) from a external USB, drive thru my Macbook Pro, and now it occupies space on the Time Capsule but I can't open it. Is there a solution for this?

This is super fun with Yosemite.. that cannot open files on network drives..
Have you got the drive mounted in Finder?
Try and change the permissions of the folder in TC.. but I am not sure you are going to find this easy.
I think the best way to fix this is to copy the whole lot back to the external USB via the terminal using a full root login.
So open terminal.. type sudo su
Type in your main administrator password.
Then you can use any of the command line copy tools.. I have just done this with rsync..
The command is rsync -av /source/* /destination/
You should mount both the source and destination in finder.. and you can then drag the folder into the command line.. it will then copy the exact source and destination you want.

Hello talaldanaf,
You may need to back up, then restore your iPhone.

If your iPhone continues to restart when you pull down the Notification Center, I would recommend restoring the iPhone as a new device.

Upgrading my work PC is NOT an option, but I'd like my Mac to be able to recognise the attachment for what it is
Let see, you are using a proprietary file format that is only supposed to work with Outlook. It doesn't work for millions of Windows or Mac or Linux email users that depend on other email programs like Outlook Express, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, webmail, etc.
Microsoft has had to publish instructions so that their program's users can make themselves compatible with the rest of the world.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290809
You are causing your own problem by not making a simple change in your program's options. Changes in the Outlook preferences can be made either Globally or by the Recipient.
Follow these steps in Outlook 2007 to turn off TNEF:
1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
2. Click the Mail Format tab.
3. In the Compose in this message format box, click Plain Text or HTML, and then click OK.
Don't know of a better way to fix this problem for everyone concerned. Even if you get the fix to work with your machine, you will not enable all of the people receiving your emails to be able to work with you. That's a losing battle that's been caused by Microsoft.
Now if Microsoft created a Mail plugin for other email programs like they do for their video format's and services (flip4mac, Office Live Plugin, etc), then I would consider using their email program to deal with my clients. Until then, I need to be compatible with many different programs in other countries, on different platforms. Maybe that's going to change when they bring out the new Office 2011 with Outlook for the Mac...

It's recommended to download and install
