Itunes video conversion question/confusion

Hey guys,
If I have a movie for appletv at 720p in my itunes movie folder, and convert it for use for the ipod or iphone.. does that mean I loose the 720p file? Or does it make two files, one of each quality? Confused
Thanks

No, you won't loose the original unless you delete it. Conversion makes a copy.

Video Conversion Questions

Am having a couple of problems with video conversion for the Apple TV.
I had to reset and install OSX a few months back, now when I use FFMPEGX to convert some AVI files to H264 it is writing the audio and video as seperate files, cant understand why its suddenly doing this as worked fine before, anyone got any ideas?
Secondly, If I try to use Quicktime, Flip4mac writes that it was done with a trial version all over the video output, but I have the Pro Version of Quicktime so can't understand why it uses flip4mac at all, isnt Quicktime supposed to do this by itself, and is there a way round this, short of buying flip4mac?

Sounds like FFMPEG is doing this. Check the source codecs and/or your default/manual settings. Some conversions may require an intermediate conversion in which the audio and video are first "demuxed" and placed in separate files which are them converted to the final compression formats and then merged to a single file.

While QT recognizes the AVI file container (i.e., AVI is not a compression format), you must have the same codecs to make the file (many combinations are possible) playable and/or convertible to a fully supported QT compression format. QT does not supply proprietary interleaved codecs and you must install your own. DivX, Flip4Mac, Perian, etc. all have codecs that play different codecs that may be contained in the AVI container. As long as there are no conflicts, then everything works fine. In some cases, however, two or more components may be able to play/convert the same codec. In this event, QT seems to call the handler which was last installed. If this is the case, then you may be able to remove/re-install codecs in a different order which satisfies your needs. In other cases, the codec in question may only be supplied one of the third-party providers and you have no choice but to use their product. Some of the providers allow you to play the codecs in question but require you to purchase conversion decoders and/or decoders separately. (E.g., DivX and Flip4Mac.) Whether or not you purchase these products depends on how badly you want to convert the file in question.

ITunes Video Download Question.

Ok, this laptop I am using now is breaking and I have a question.
If I wanted to download any videos I bought from iTunes, do I just click check for available downloads or do I need to buy them again? (Note I have 50+ Videos bought)

do I need to buy them again?
Probably. Click here, follow the instructions to locate the files, and back them up if you can.

ITunes Video Conversion

I just downloaded some mpg videos. I converted these to mov in quicktime which is said to be compatible with 3G ipods. I added the mov files into my iTunes library but they wont transfer when I sync my iPod. I've right-clicked them and converted them to ipod/iphone but then there's no sound. I've tried YASA mp4 converter but then all i get is sound. Is there just some way i can transfer my fully working mov files via disk mode or something?

Try using MPEG Streamclip to convert the videos; content that is normally synced from iTunes won't be playable on the iPod if disk mode is used to put it onto the iPod.

HT3775 Video conversion question

I can't open an M-PEG file on my Quicktime player. Any suggestions?

Handbrake Video Conversion Question

I tried to convert a DVD to .mp4 on Handbrake program, when I try to sync to iPhone 3g it says it can't copy because it can't be played on this iPhone. Any ideas or answers please?
Thank you

Maybe the file type is incorrect. Make sure when using handbrake you select the iphone pre-set from the drop down menu on the right. Alternatively you can try right clicking the file and convert it to a format suitable for iphone if it gives you that option.

Faster video conversions than itunes?

ive tried usind the itunes video conversions and its agonizing slow is there any program i can download thats faster at converting videos to mp4?

ive tried usind the itunes video conversions and its agonizing slow is there any program i can download thats faster at converting videos to mp4?
The QT preset used by iTunes is a high quality, H.264, multi-pass conversion and, therefore, very slow. If you have QT Pro installed, you can always perform the conversion in the single pass mode which would take half as long or switch to the MPEG4/AAC converter in either single or multi-pass mode -- both of which are faster than the more complex H.264 codec but require larger files for the same level of quality.
If you don't have QT Pro installed, then you can download MPEG Streamclip (free) and use the iPod H.264 preset which is, by default, a single-pass converter. If you go this route, be sure to read the instructions carefully regarding the QT Player vs the alternative QT and MPEG2 codec installation.

UPGRADE 1103 to 1159 - PAYMENTS CONVERSION QUESTION!

Hello,
UPGRADE 1103 to 1159 - PAYMENTS CONVERSION QUESTION!
This is the scenario, we are planning to do. Currently we have 11.0.3 in one box. We are planning for re-implementation for 11.5.9 in the new box. So we
have to convert approx 14 months of open and closed data for the historic purposes. (Like PO's, Invoices, Payments and ledger data etc.)
Again, these conversions cannot be handled through the front end using some Data Loader kind of tool etc...
Data Loader tool, I used a lot for loading Flexfield Value Set Values, Category Codes etc...
But my question is converting these AP_PAYMENTS related data in the back end. (Like Check num, Payment Batch ID, Invoice Number, Invoice ID, Supplier Number,
Supplier ID, etc.) from old 11.0.3 box to new 11i box.
Since there was some confusion is going on with Payments related areas, because there was now API's etc... some of them are telling it is very difficult to migrate "AS IS" into 11i. I also heard that oracle won't support this.
Just want to clarify clearly on this issues.
Because we are moving from the small box of 11.0.3 into Big box for 11.5.9. So we don't want to loose all the histories for about 20 months. especially open
Closed / Open - Invoices, Payments, PO's, REQ's, Active Items which are in the Open Blanket PO's, Employees, etc...
Of all these everything sounds like doable because they do have API's etc... Of course, I belive there is no API for the Vendors only. We want to know is this true for the Payments also.
Any urgent clarifications is very much appreciated with clear explanation.
Thanks in advance

The payment conversion is little bit tricky in term on its understanding and functionality.
There are lot of dependices of payments conversion on the others objects like invoice.
You need to be very clear in requirements.
Here is the extracted documents for giving you clear understanding about payments.
Overview of Process
Prior to creating a payment batch, four setup are required.
A.Define a bank for bank branches with which you do business.
B.Define bank accounts.
C.Choose a predefined or custom payment format.
D.Finally, define payment documents for disbursements for each bank account.
To give an overview of the steps required to create payment batch payments:
1) Initiate the payment batch by entering the criteria for invoices you want to pay. The payment batch process selects invoices, and then builds the payments. It determines which invoices will be paid on each payment document, and lists this information for you on the Preliminary Payment Register.
2) Make any necessary modifications to your payment batch, such as selecting additional invoices, deselecting invoices, deselecting suppliers, etc. Once modifications are complete, the modify payment batch process automatically builds the payments if any invoices were added.
3) Format payments to produce an output file.
4) Print checks from the output file if you are not creating electronic payments or sending the output file to a third party for printing.
5) Confirm the payment batch by recording the document numbers associated with each payment. During this step, the invoice status is updated to Paid and a document number is associated with the invoice and invoice payment.
As conversion(from 11.0.3 to 11.5.9) is concern step 3,4 is excluded from the standard processes.
These are the tables involved during the payment conversion.
AP_SELECTED_INVOICES_ALL
AP_INV_SELECTION_CRITERIA_ALL
AP_INVOICES_ALL
AP_PAYMENT_SCHEDULES_ALL
These are background (concurrent) processes involved in batch process consists of the following
a. Autoselect
b. Build Payments
c. Preliminary Payment Register
d. Format
e. Confirm
f. Final Payment Register.
10.7:
If you are using the application in character mode, navigate to the Reset Payment Batch form. The navigation path is
\Navigate --> Controls --> Payment --> ResetPaymentBatch.
Select the payment batch name and the system displays the status of the batch. Your options for proceeding vary according to the batch status.
11.5.8/9
You can perform actions on your batch in Payment Batches form by clicking on the Actions button. The appropriate actions are highlighted depending on the status of the batch.
THIS SECTION TALK ABOUT THE DETAIL TECHNICAL OVERVIEW
Payment Conversion Technical Overview
For the conversion is concern we are following four-step process
I.Defined and prerequisite steps as discussed above
II.Selecting the Invoice
III.Building the Payment
IV.Confirm
THESE ARE THE PREREQUISITE SETUP
We are assuming the bank set is already done from 10.7 to 11i.Bank set up means bank account id, and its corresponding payment format.
For this purpose we are using mapping function for bank account id and on that basis we are getting corresponding checks stock id.This means defining a payment documents for disbursements
SELECT INVOICES
When a payment batch is started one row for each record is created in the
AP_INV_SELECTION_CRITERIA_ALL table.
This table stores the criteria that a payment batch uses to select invoices for payments. The module name for the Auto Select process is APXPBSEL. The Select Invoices, or AutoSelect, is the first step in the payment batch process.
When we run a concurrent program the AutoSelect process starts by loading records that meet the invoice selection criteria into the table AP_SELECTED_INVOICES_ALL from the tables AP_INVOICES_ALL and AP_PAYMENT_SCHEDULES_ALL.
The criteria that AutoSelect uses to determine which record to select from AP_INVOICES_ALL and AP_PAYMENT_SCHEDULES_ALL is stored in AP_INV_SELECTION_CRITERIA_ALL.
To be sure that no duplicate invoices get selected, invoices that are already selected in another payment batch are not selected. Invoice payments that have no remaining payment amounts are not selected either.
BUILD PAYMENTS
The module name for the Build Program is APXPBBLD. From the list created by AutoSelect, the Build program determines which invoices will be paid on each
Payment document, and lists this information on the Preliminary Payment Register if Selected. The Build program is spawned when AutoSelect has completed. When the Build Program starts, the application uses information from the table AP_SELECTED_INVOICES_ALL to create rows in the table AP_SELECTED_INVOICE_CHECKS_ALL.
In addition to creating rows in the AP_SELECTED_INVOICE_CHECKS_ALL, the build payments program also performs the following tasks:
Assigns document numbers for payments
Assigns Check Ids
Renumbers the remaining documents starting from the first_available_document
Updates the payment batch status to BUILT
Since we are doing conversion from 10.7 to 11i where all payments need to converted hence we are keeping payment batch status as FORMATTED
CONFIRM
This is the final step for the payment batch process, where we will pick a payment batch from front end, and then making confirm. The menu for this
AP Payable =>Payment Batches form =>by clicking on the Actions button
Internally the confirm program first updates the AP_SELECTED_INVOICE_CHECKS_ALL records,
then transfers those records to
AP_CHECKS_ALL.
In addition, the AP_SELECTED_INVOICES_ALL
records are transferred into the corresponding
AP_INVOICE_PAYMENTS_ALL,
AP_INVOICES_ALL and
AP_PAYMENT_SCHEDULES_ALL.
Table Involved in Payment Batch Process
These are the various table involved in the payment process of 10.7 and 11i.It is recommended that if corresponding earlier conversion is done then use the mapping function to get the new value.
oAP_SELECTED_INVOICES_ALL
oAP_INV_SELECTION_CRITERIA_ALL
oAP_INVOICES_ALL
oAP_PAYMENT_SCHEDULES_ALL
oAP_SELECTED_INVOICE_CHECKS_ALL
oAP_CHECKS_ALL
oAP_INVOICE_PAYMENTS_ALL
oAP_PAYMENT_SCHEDULES_ALL
oAP_INVOICES_ALL
oAP_BANK_ACCOUNTS_ALL `
Common Issue:
1.Determine the status of the Payment Batch?
A: Query up the Payment Batch in the Payment Batches Summary window to view the status. If you can not get into the application, you can select the status from SQL*Plus:
SELECT status FROM ap_inv_selection_criteria_all
WHERE checkrun_name = ?<payment batch name>?;
2. Dont change the last update date
We are doing the conversion for payments, hence we cant change he last_updated_date to sysdate as this will create a problem by concurrent program, in that case we need to populate the field for FUTURE_DATED_PAYMENT=N
3. dont populate the value for INVOICE_PAYMENT_TYPE
If there are some prepayments in the conversion process donor populate this field and pass NULL, otherwise this will create a duplicate invoice, which will cause a problem for concurrent batch for payment.
Hope now you will be very clear about the process.
let me me offline, if you need further.

Video Conversations with PC

I found similar questions, but I still am not clear on this topic. How can an iMac have a video conversation with people using PC's?? (Without having to pay for AOL on their side {AIM}, or having to sign up with AOL or Javver on my side).
iMac & MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9)
iMac & MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hi,
AIM is actually free to use for both Mac and Windows PC.
(There's no need to sign up for the AOL service). You can register for an AIM screen name on this page. Once you have registered, ignore it when it asks you do download the AIM client. Instead, configure iChat with your new screen name.
As an alernative to iChat, you could use Skype, which is a free download for Mac and PC.
Both programs have their ins and outs. I would suggest trying both to see which one works best. I hope this helps!
Thanks,
Glen
