Lion's service to encode media files is not installed

On my MacBook Pro the video and media encoder service is not installed. If I right-click on a movie file in Finder the option “Encode Selected Video Files” is not available, same for audio files. I tried with a lot of different source files, it's not available.
Any idea why or how to get it?

I think I found the solution (at least for me):
I had the same problem, that these options weren’t in my context menu and also couldn’t be found under the services. But for some reason when I log in with a different user, the options were there…
What I did, I went to “/System/Library/Services/” and there the two ‘workflows’ were.
I copied them and placed them into “/Users/(me)/Library/Services”. Attention, for some reason the Library folder is now hidden in Lion, but you can still access it via the “go to folder” function (cmd+shift+g) and typing in the path, for example “/Users/Tom/Library/”.
After copying the files I had the questioned options active in my services, and they were already checked and in my context menu.
My thoughts to the problem: inside the Library folder of my other user account (where these options were already available) was no “Services” folder.
Maybe this “bug” only happens, when you have custom user-specific services installed – in my case it was my “EspionageMenue.service”, which was only installed on my regular user account, but not on the other one.
Hope this helps someone else as well =)
Cheers, L

  • "error loading media-file could not be played"-when viewing webcams

    When trying to load a webcam, picture loads but will not stream.
    The following error message appears "error loading media-file could not be played"
    Everything functions when using Google Chrome.
    Any help would be much appreciated. The operating system is Vista.

    Thank you for you reply - much appreciated.
    I am a bit confused - if I do not have a player installed, how come that everything is OK when I use Google Chrome as a browser?
    Many thanks,

  • Following Media Files Are Not Optimized For Final Cut Pro

    I'm sure you've seen this before and I've tried to search for a thread on it here and fell asleep, so sorry if this is a repeat.
    I have edited projects in Premiere Pro (on my PC) and I have tried to transfer them in FCP. It worked with the exception of two things:
    1. the error message, "Following Media Files Are Not Optimized For Final Cut Pro"
    2. the quality *****! watching it on the playback in FCP it looks great, but then when I burn it to Disc it's pixelated in spots and generally has a lower quality picture.
    I know that it's Standard Def. and can't expect the best, but I've done it before (once or twice) and it didn't seem this bad.
    Can someone suggest anything to help the quality? Should I run my AVIs through MPEG Steamclip to make it a QT file and if so what is the best format in that since there are many to choose from and most I'm not familiar with?
    Thank you,
    Crayton

    I did compress them to DV NTSC then burned it to DVD and the result was no bueno.
    I thought what I would do is try compressing them again before I send them on over to DVDSPRO. Here is a simplified break down of the situation:
    - I have edited the raw footage in Premiere Pro on my PC. They were recorded and captured as SD.
    - I rendered them in Premiere, then transfered the rendered AVI file to FCP.
    - When went to place the files in FCP, I received the warning message; "Following Media Files Are Not Optimized For Final Cut Pro" but I went forward anyways and it allowed me to do so.
    - Originally I went ahead and compressed them from FCP to QT Movie as a DV NTSC, which ended up poorly.
    - Therefore my question is, should I compress them using another file type (other then DV NTSC)? Which leads me to another program that I have called MPEG Streamclip, which offers tons of file types of which I am unfamiliar with most. I want the best quality of course but don't know what file type is the highest going from AVI to a format that can be accepted by FCP and ultimately DVDSPRO. Keeping in mind that I only have FCP5 and do not have Prores.
    Did that make sense?
    Thank you again,
    Crayton

  • Media Files do not appear in Library

    Hi,
    I am running essentials 2012 r2.  I installed the media streaming pack.  From the server console, and via windows explorer, I copied music, videos,and pictures into the applicable "\serverfolders\" sub-folder (created by windows during
    the media streaming pack install).  In the dashboard settings - media tab, I confirmed that those specific folders were set as  "Yes"  for streaming.
    However, irrespective of the device I use on the network, the media files are not available to stream.  This includes from windows media player in windows 8.1 machines, where the my essentials 2012 library shows up, but clicking on the library results
    in a response of "no files".
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Hi,
    Based on your description, I understand that you can find this Digital Media Server (Windows Server 2012 R2
    Essentials with Media Pack installed) under Network on client computers. However, you can’t find any music, videos or pictures file via Media Player. If anything I misunderstand, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
    Please open Dashboard, navigate to STORAGE tab and select Server Folders. Under Server Folders, please open
    Music folder, Videos folder and Pictures folder, then check if those files which you copied exist in those correct folders.
    In addition, did you enable RWA (Remote Web Access) on the server? If enabled, please logon RWA and check if
    those music, videos or pictures under Media Library in RWA webpage.
    If anything I misunderstand or any update, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,
    Justin Gu

    I am using OS X Mountain Lion and I have this .avi file but not able to read. What is missing in my setup and what other file do I need to download to enable me to read?  I can read mp4 files though.

    Here is a link: https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/mplayerx/id421131143?mt=12
    I agree that VLC is also a good choice but MPlayerX is more user friendly.

    I have an I pad Mini. Since i down loaded the new update ISO 7, my I Pad is not running certain media files either from Chrome or Safari browser. I called technical support but they failed to provide any help stating the media files may not be compctable with new soft ware. I do bnot agree with their finding because i have I phone with ISO 7 updated soft ware and same files run on my I phone but not on I Pad. This was working fine before updating new software. This device is useless for me if i can not watch the program that i bought this for. I want device to replaced or taken back by the company. Thank you

    Here are the iPad Mini specifications:
    iPad mini - Technical SpecificationsNov 1, 2012
    The specifications explain exactly what types of files are supported under "TV and Video".

  • I click on "add to library" and the file shows up in my iTunes media file, but not in my iTunes.

    I click on "add to library" and the file shows up in my iTunes media file, but not in my iTunes.

    That didn't work - I'm so confused - it just doesn't make sense.  How could it be there, but not show up on itunes???

  • Cannot play JWPlayer mp4 videos - "error loading media, file could not be played" in MS Windows 7 Firefox. Works on Firefox for mac.

    We use mp4 / mv4 type videos. These videos are viewed through a JWPlayer playlist. They work fine using Firefox browser on a MAC, however on MS Windows 7, I get "Error loading media, file could not be played". They also work fine from MS Windows 7 using IE and CHROME browsers. Any idea what might be causing the problem when trying to play them from the Firefox browser on a Windows platform?
    I have already tried uninstalling Firefox, deleting my profile and re-installing the latest version.
    I logged a support problem with JWPlayer and they indicated that it ma be a browser specific related issue with html5?
    Thanks for you help!

    I would assume an issue with the HTML5 media player.
    If those aren't working on Windows then it is possible that the proper codecs aren't installed.
    You can try to disable the HTML5 media player and make Firefox use the Flash plugin.
    You can do this by setting these two prefs to false on the <b>about:config</b> page:
    *media.windows-media-foundation.enabled
    *media.directshow.enabled

  • "Clip's Media Files are Not Currently Available" Alert Message

    I am making an video project for school and so I put the video clips (JPEG) into my iPhoto Library and I put them together as a project. A few days later I went back to work on the project and I'm getting an alert symbol on the video clips that says "This clips media files are not currently available" when I hover over it. Does anyone know why?
    Also, I need to export the project as an AVI or MPEG file and when I click 'Export Using Quicktime' an error message pops up that says "Missing Media... The following Event used in this project is not currently available: iPhoto Videos - English Video Poetry Project - The portions of the project which reference this Event will show black frames." Is this because of the alert that says my media files are not available?
    Thank you!

    This happens if you either delete your original films or rename the event in iPhoto. If you deleted the original film, you're stuck. If you just renamed it in iPhoto, the fix is simple: quit iMovie, rename the album in iPhoto back to whatever it was (whatever it says in the error message - in your case "English Video Poetry Project") then open iMovie. It should now be ok, and while iMovie is open, you can rename your album (in iPhoto) to whatever you like.
    Note: if you rename your album, iMovie will cope but won't automatically save the change, so it will break next time you load it. To fix that, make some small change to the movie. Exporting it might work, haven't tried.

  • I have installed the most recent version of Snow Leopard on my MAC, and I am trying to install Mountain Lion from the Apple Store.  It will not install, because it says I do not have 2GB of memory, even though I have over 200GB available.  Please help.

    I have installed the most recent version of Snow Leopard on my MAC, and I am trying to install Mountain Lion from the Apple Store.  It will not install, because it says I do not have 2GB of memory, even though I have over 200GB available.  Please help.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    One thing is the memory, and another thing is the hard disk space. You are telling me that you have 200 GB of free space on the hard disk, but the App Store is telling you that you have to install 2 GB of memory or more on your Mac if you want to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
    First of all, open  > About this Mac > More Info, and copy "Model Identifier" here, so we can know what Mac you have got and how much memory you can install.
    We recommend to buy the memory in OWC or Crucial (Crucial is cheaper and offers the same compatibility warranty as OWC) because you won't probably have any problem with the memory you buy there

  • Hello all, i am in need of the newer version of Mobile Device Support as when updating the file was not installed, would anyone tell me where i could find a new version? thankyou

    Hello all, i recently updated my itunes but when i did this the Mobile Device Support file did not install, would anyone be able to help me find a download? thanks

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Using Lion's services to encode video works with .mpg

    Sorry if this has been pointed out before here, but Lion's services menu lets one select a video, and encode it to a form a Mac can handle. I had a lot of trouble getting some .mpg files someone had given me to open, and be used in FCPX, but using the encoder worked great. Later I will explore just what else it can do...it is limited but useful.
    Hugh

    I can get to the encode service, but it gives the following error message: aconvert: Failed to create an export sesseion. Check setup.
    Can you ore anyone assist me. I have a .mov file that I wanted to convert.

  • I have 60 000 songs on a hard drive. The songs are referenced to the media file and not stored in the media file. I have moved the songs to another external drive. The itunes library has lost the link to the media files. How can I restore the links?

    I have all my songs (60 000) on a remote drive. The drive is wireless networked. I installed a new router and had to map the drive again. Once this was done itunes could no longer locate the music. My music is not sitting in my media file but is rather referenced to the location of the music. Now that the location has changed due to the remapped drive how can I link the itunes library to the songs (media)again.
    I have read many help comments and forums but so far nothing specific about relinking once the songs have already been moved and are referenced songs.
    A step by step procedure would be helpful.
    Thank you
    Graham

    I've uploaded a newer version that might catch that error. For some background on the script look at this thread.
    iTunes remembers the location of each file in the database. If you right-click on a missing file, click Get Info, cancel when it asks you to try to find it, then look on the summary tab it will show you the last known location in the form file://localhost/<some path>. If you put the files back where they are expected to be, close iTunes and reopen, then iTunes will find them again. If not my script can attempt the task. When the script asks for a media folder you should respond with Z:\ since that seems to be where the artist folders are located.
