Mac video transfer problems..

I've scrolled the forums but most people that are having my problem appear to be Windows users and also having little success by the looks of it. Therefore I wondered if maybe my problem was answered a little easier by Mac users. I have endless music video's/videos on disc and a few on the computer. I've managed to use the iTunes converter to get a couple on my iPod but only in video, not with sound. The sound is lost in the conversion because the converted copy iTunes also has no sound. I've looked at settings in iTunes and the iPod but it hasn't made a difference. Any suggestions welcome!

Nevermind..."handbrake" sorted it out.
thanks to the person who wrote of it!

QQ International for Mac: Video Chat problem

Hello Communities,
I downloaded the MAC version for QQ International to talk to a cousin of mine who will be working in China. He's had it on his Windows system here in the states for sometime with no problems. I can get the audio part to work, but the video function works sporadically, and it seems only to turn on my camera if I'm the one making the call. What I've read says there is no video chat function for the Mac version, but that's strange given that my camera does come on in the cases I've mentioned. I also then opened up Windows using Parallels, downloaded that version of it, and am having a similar problem. I have since uninstalled the one on my Windows (in parallel) and the Mac one from my Mac. There is an update for the Mac version of it, but when you click on it, it takes you to the Chinese version of the website, so I didn't proceed further. Anyone have any experience with this and have a fix to make it work?
Regards and Thanks in advance

HI Bassplayuh,
Since I downloaded the last QQ version on Tencent Website, as soon as I am called or I call for a video chat, my QQ crashes.... Tried to get the older version from the App store, but now it is the same.... Anyone got a solution?
Thanks in advance.

I've had this same problem ever since I bought my N82 in March. The video files are there when transferred via USB to the phone device but not visible or playable on the phone. I tried changing the file formats to mp4 just now as suggested and the file appeared in My Videos but when I try o play it it says 'Invalid File Format.' Any Suggestions?

PC to Mac song transfer problem

I've looked through tutorials on this, but haven't found a good answer, one that is specific to my situation.
I have an iPod Classic which is currently synced with a Windows computer; itt has 60GB worth of songs on it. I want to transfer all of those songs to a Mac, which already has a large amount of music on it -- which I absolutely need to keep intact. From that point on, I want to have the iPod sync with the Mac.
This is sort of a two-part question:
-How do I do this?
-How do I do this if I don't have access to the PC that the iPod is currently synced with? (Most of the tutorials cover this situation -- where I can go back, rearrange the music library, put the iPod in disk mode, etc. But still -- even those tutorials don't cover my specific situation, as mentioned above.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

when i was trying to transfer stuff from my pc to my mac, when i tried to initiate it on the mac, it was REALLY slow. when i initiated it on the pc, it went very quick. i did mine via firewire but was surprised that speed seemed to depend on which computer the transfer was initiated on. maybe try starting the transfer from the mac and see what happens?

Video transfer problems

I have recently received my new 5th gen ipod. However when I go under preferences and to my ipod configs, under the "video" section, all of the video options are gray and do not allow me to change any options for video. It also does not let me drag any videos to my ipod. What could be going on here?
It allows me to look and change options under all 5 of the other selections.(music, podcasts, photos, contacts, and calenders). So what could be going on with my video option?

The .MOV extension is simply manes the file is a generic QT movie. What is important is the format in which the audio and video was encoded. To be compatible with an iPod, it must have MPEG4 or H.264 video and AAC audio tracks. Further, there are specific restrictions on the combined average video plus audio data rate. H.264 cannot exceed 768 or thereabouts while MPEG4s have about three time as much headroom. In addition either file may be 320x240, but only the MPEG4 can likely use a 480x480 resolution and remain within it's data rate restriction.

My mac Mini has problem rendering images and video

THE PROBLEM:
My mac mini has problem rendering JPEG image. There are strips on the images. Other images such as GIF, PNG, TIFF, and BMP are displayed nicely.
The images shown in the links below illustrate the problem:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/terencewong/71481156/
http://www.flickr.com/photos/terencewong/73360989/
(Please note that this image is grabbed from my faulty Mac Mini and saved into TIFF. For uploading purpose, I converted it into JPEG on ANOTHER computer.)
For movies, AVI can be playback without problem. But when it is converted to MPEG, it looks like an untunned TV channel.
FIXES TRIED:
I did erase and install 3 to 4 times using both the install disc and my Tiger Family Pack. All ended up with strips on the JPEG images and the generated MPEG movies.
I've also tried to flash the firmware to 113-xxxxx-124 using ATI's october 2005 universal ROM update, however, the ROM Revision shown in System Profiler is still 113-xxxxx-116 no matter how many time I reboot the system.
INVESTIGATION:
Yesterday, I did some research and got to know that JPEG and MPEG are using DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) for decompression. And the ATI Radeon 9200 chip provide such a transform on hardware basis, which free the CPU from doing something else. Feel free to point out my inaccuracy.
HARDWARE SPECIFICATION:
I bought the Mac Mini in the last Februray.
The system Boot ROM version is: 4.8.9f1
Display card is ATI Radeon 9200
Chipset Model: ATY,RV280
Revision ID: 0x0001
ROM Revision: 113-xxxxx-116
A POSSIBLE CONCLUSION:
I suspect that it is this part of the chip (the DCT) that is faulty.
Anyone know how to fix this problem?
Many thanks!

Assuming that your display is tightly connected, thus the problem is not caused by something as simple as that, the fact that a full erase and install has not removed the problem would, I think, point to this being a hardware issue, and given that everyone's mini (with the possible exception of some of the latest ones) has the same video chipset as yours, and do not suffer the problem that you appear to, it seems very likely that your mini has a fault which is in need of repair.
If you have an Apple Store nearby, I would take it there to have it checked out - at the very least they should be able to replicate your problem using an in-store display, and if not, thusly suggest it's something external to the mini and concerning your display or something very unusual in the immediate environment of the mini. If you don't have an Apple Store in reach, I'd take the system to an Apple authorized service provider since at the present time it is under warranty.

DVD Quality: Using Pinnacle Video Transfer and I-movie 08

I am using Pinnacle video transfer to upload old video - some directly from old camera tapes, some from 8mm video that has been transferred to VCR or DVD by a commercial service such as Costco. I am using the "Professional Quality" to burn my finished projects, but the quality is not as good as the original upload from the source. Sometimes it is better than others but I am unable to figure out why. Is there a way to use the creative resources for MAC and get good quality video? Thanks very much. Are the professional programs (such as "final cut") a lot better?

Dyann there seems to be a problem with Imovie08 in that it only uses single field processing effectively throwing away half of your horizontal quality. I am a relatively new Mac user and bought my macbook to do video editing, I am having the same problem when importing from a mini dv camera in that the quality when the dvd is produced to be quite honest is crap. Many people are complaining about htis and are asking if Imovie09 will have this fixed but no firm answers yet. Hope this helps

Pinnacle video transfer

I saw this cool little gadget called the pinnacle video transfer that transfers video to iPods from DVR's, movies, and even game consoles on Attack of the Show. They say it works with iPods so I was hoping it would work with my iPhone. I don't see why it wouldn't. Can anyone confirm or deny if this is iPhone compatible, or even opinions of anyone that owns one? Thanks.

IMOVIE08/IPHOTO08 TRANSFER PROBLEM QUESTION... HELP HELP HELP!!!

IMOVIE/IPHOTO TRANSFER PROBLEM QUESTION... HELP HELP HELP!!!
much like the email above, i am having trouble importing movies --all taken with my same nikon camera and uploaded to iphoto-- from iphoto08 to imovie08. i did a software update today and half the movies i wanted from iphoto, somehow, ended up on imovie. not the half i need to work with, by the way. just came back from christmas with the family. the first time my dad has seen my son. the first time my wife has seen my dad. lots of pictures. my dad wants copies. i got great ideas about making him a DVD... in imovie, i choose, "import movies", follow the steps, create a new event AND... no movie clips show up in my new event... BUT, when i click "mac HD" on my desktop and go the "imovie events", i see the movies is just supposedly imported to imovie as files and can watch them. doesn't help me much when trying to create a movie to send to my dad. no video is played in imovie. HELP HELP HELP!!! i went so far as to trash my 15 movies from iphoto because i thought perhaps the computer was seeing them as photos and not movies. right now my vacation movies are on my desktop. how can i get them to show up in imovie and start my project? HELP HELP HELP!!!

I think you have set your iPod to an option which everytime you connect it to itunes, it will delete all songs on it and replace it with songs currently in your library. What you need to do is click on the ipod on the sidebar, and on the bottem of the new page click the tick box that says "Manually manage music and video". That way you can delete old songs from your computer and they will stay on your ipod everytime you connect it. Hope that helps ^_^

MacBook Pro 15" video card problems (i think)

Can anyone tell me if this is indeed a video card problem?
MBP 15" info (Dec. 2011)
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
OS X Lion 10.7.5
This is what happened:
I use my mbp heavily because I edit a lot of videos with Premiere. I also use lightroom / photoshop alot + games. I also installed Parallels desktop late 2013. I don't know if that is relevant but anyway. Everything started late 2013 (a little after installing parallels actually) when there are moments when the audio wouldn't work and I couldn't adjust the volume. It would come back anyway so i didn't mind it. Then the fans were on high speed for little activity. After that the keyboard backlight couldn't be adjusted and wouldnt work. I ignored all of these cuz i wasn't troubling me at the time. In January i left for france to study - I use bike all the time and once stupidly placed my laptop on the basket going to school (rough roads). I had a class with html so I had to open Parallels, my teacher pointed out the fans and how loud they were. That day, parallels desktop said i must upgrade to windows 9 or it will restart every 2hours. I didn't of course. I didn't have time to.
After that (a few days later i think) my laptop would randomly turn into a black screen but it's still on (the power LED is on) I tried turning it off by pressing down the power button and then turning it back on. It worked the first time. During the first week, the frequency of it happening grew. It would do it almost 3 times a day. during that same week I tried to do an SMC reset. It fixed the keyboard light, fans and audio but not the black screen thing. It just keeps on happening around 1-3 times a day. It only happens when I'm using it btw, never when I just leave it. ALSO, after a few days, it would take longer hours to open my mbp again. I mean, the screen would turn black. i would turn it off, then on again. I will ONLY hear the hard drive moving but no startup sound and no grey screen and apple logo. nothing.
The following weeks after that, I asked a friend to help me out. He suggested that I install gfxCardStatus because he said it might be my video card. He instructed that I keep it on intergrated only. So I installed that and did what he said I thought it worked for a while because the black screens stopped happening (even when gfx keeps on going back to dynamic) BUT NOW, MY LAPTOP WOULD FREEZE (not turn black). I'd shut it down using the power button but it still takes me hours to open it again. Sometimes, I'd wait for the battery to drain because it would startup when i charge it (sometimes)
I tried doing AHT as well to confirm the video card problem, but the results are no problems found. I really don't want to replace my logicboard here in france. everything is more expensive here. ;__;
Today I uninstalled parallels to see if that might have had anything to do with my problem now but i think that's just wishful thinking.
Can somebody tell me if this is really about the video card? Thank you

Your appointment at the genius Bar in an Apple Store (anywhere in the world) for an evaluation is FREE, in warranty or out. Those guys put their hands on these Macs all day every day, and they are especially good at Physical and Power problems.
Ask them.
