Macbook converting GoPro videos from MP4 to .Mov

I have been recording in 4K with my GoPro camera, and my macbook would play the MP4 files no problem. I recently changed the resolution to 2.7K and now my Macbook will convert the (MP4) file to a (.mov) file before I'm able to play it. Does anyone know why?

If the wedding video is on DVD it would have to be converted to a Quicktime movie; if you have permission to copy the video from the person who created the video, (the person who created it owns the copyright) you can use MPEGStreamclip.

Converting the videos (from Vixia HF M40) to standard definition on a Mac (10.6 OS X)

How do you convert the videos (from Vixia HF M40) to standard definition, for the Mac computers (10.6 OS X)?

Hi venetiakelley!
Thank you for posting.
Canon does not make conversion software, but there are 3rd party applications available that do convert video files from one format to another. You can try doing an internet search for applications that will convert from one format to another.
However, there should not be a need to convert the video to a standard definition format to be able to view it on your Mac. Even Apple's own iMovie should support the files that come from the VIXIA HF M40 depending on the version you have installed. If you are using iMovie and experiencing some trouble opening the files, I recommend that you contact Apple directly for further assistance with iMovie. They may have some more information about the trouble you are experiencing.

Still no Audio after converting the video to MP4?

I have a 60gig IPod Video using windows XP. I have used the Videora Converter to Convert the video to MP4. Then I have imported the video into itunes and then put it on my IPod but there is still no Audio when I try to watch it. There is audio watching it through itunes though. I also tried clicking on "convert selection for ipod" in the advanced menu and it stated that it was already in the correct format. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Sean

"If this is the case, the original video file may be in a format that contains muxed (multiplexed) audio and video, and cannot be exported with audio."..."If the format is "MPEG1 Muxed" or "MPEG2 Muxed," the audio portion of the file may not be retained with QuickTime Pro or iMovie."
I have read that article and I thought it ment that the sound will work after you convert to the MPEG4 format, which I did.
Are you saying that if it starts out as "Muxed audio" then there is no way to convert it?
If that is the case then in what situation would you need to use the Videora Converter?
Thanks,
Sean

Why cant I transfer GoPro videos from itunes to my Ipad 4? Can anyone help?

Am trying to send videos shot at 1080p 30fps MP4, NTSC from my GoPro through itunes but itunes keeps telling me that my Ipad wont be able to play it back so it doesnt trasfer them. Though I know the iPad is capable of playing the video back! Whats happening? o.O
Btw am using the new itunes version!

Just because the video is mp4 does not necessarily make it iPad compatible. To convert a video select the video in iTunes then choose File/Create New Version/Create iPad Version to see if it transfers.

Why is Quicktime trying to change from .MP4 to .Mov?

Having spent months saving clients promotional files from .avi, .mov and may other formats into .MP4 why on earth is Quicktime on Mavericks trying to play tham back as .MOV especially as I charged them for my time in converting the files in the first place. I really dont want to reencode 500GB+ files... HELPPpppp!
Many thanks

There is a slow change for the QuickTime platform coming. Right now the new OS has a built-in library which tries to re-encode your older videos. They are no longer being actively supported by Apple, since the switch is on, with the 64-bit architecture and of course the mobile platforms (all the "iThings" out there..) to make all of the supported file codecs be as efficient as possible for the newer hardware.
The QuickTime PlayerX that comes with your system is trying to reformat - there is NO way to get around it as the instructions are nested down in the libraries for the application - in the QTKit.framework. It's an instruction-set that you can't get out unless you know how to program code. (I think it's in Objective C)
With that as a given, what is left to do is download and use the last available version of QuickTime Player 7 and get the codec packs you need - all of this is the 32-bit code and it's days ARE numbered so fair warning. Here is the quick list I've built as a workaround to keep your files unsullied.
Start with QT 7.6.6. - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923
Get Perian, and install it. - http://perian.org
then VLC, - http://videolan.org
DivX - http://divx.com - and the
Flip4Mac package from Telestream - http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac/
This is what I've put into my system and so far I've gotten every file to run fine, even my oldest videos.
These are codecs you should see.
In System/Library/QuickTime
     AppleIntermediateCodec.component
     AppleMPEG2Codec.component* (*optional if you've bought it)
     DivX Decoder.component
     Flip4Mac WMV Advanced.component
     Flip4Mac WMV Export.component
     Flip4Mac WMV Import.component
In your Home/Library/QuickTime/
     AC3MovieImport.component
     Perian.component
For AC3 sound that is in most .mkv files, you need the A52Codec.component, here:https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/34821905/A52Codec.component.zip - unzip the file and put the component into the System/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components
Go back to your Perian settings and in the Audio Output button, set it to 'Multi Channel Sound' - Ignore the message Perian puts up and select it.
By doing a 'Get Info' on your files and where it says 'Open With' - default them to the QuickTime 7 program. Perian no longer will work with QuickTime Player so you must have QT 7.6.6 and set it so it is the default for all the filetypes you use.
It works perfectly with QT7. So far I've gotten ALL my old videos to play.
.avi, .mov (with the AC3 sound), .wmv, .flv, .mp4 and .m4v. all run fine as do all the older formats.
Good luck!
Deb.

How do i add a subtitle file to a supported video file for ipad without converting the video. (.mp4)??

I have a downloaded movie in .mp4 format an i success fully added it to itunes.
But before adding it to my ipad i have an .srt file subtitles which i would like to add it to the movie.
I want to add it to movie without converting the movie.
Can i copy the content of the subtitle file to the lyrics tab in get info option to make it work?

Nevermind. In the iTunes Area I can drag and drop tunes onto the iTunes playlist I made, but NO I can't drag and drop to a synced list in the iPhone area of iTunes. Reason is that it only represents the list I sync to in iTunes.
I did download a Doug Script where I can add files from one play list to another which is neat. Donated some cash for it.

Problems exporting and playback the MPEG2-DVD videos, from .MP4 file!

I have PremiereProCS4 v.4.2.1 installed on this PC:
OS:WindowsXPProx64Bit; CPU:IntelCore2Quad Q9650; RAM:4GB DDR2 PC2-6400 Kingston; HDD:3x500GB WestrnDigital Caviar Green; VGA: Sparkle GeForce 9400GT 512MB.
I have downloaded an AVCHD file .MTS 1920x1080p 25p, made by Canon HF100 AVCHD camcorder, from this source (.rar file):
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RWR5MNYHhttp://www.megaupload.com/?d=B9ZDX2RZ
The videos in question called: "25pf_1.25_f1.8.MTS" playback and export from Premiere as MPEG2-DVD very well.
I playbacked it on Premiere on the second Monitor as "OutputDevice". All Ok.
I playbacked also the DVD made with EncoreCS4, on the external DVD set-top-box-player. All OK.
I downloaded also another clip 1080p 25p, converted as .mp4, from the same author, imported then in Premiere with Preset "XDCAM EX 1080p 25p" (470MB) :
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=B9ZDX2RZ
No problems with playback.
Exported as MPEG2-DVD PAL "Lower Field First".
Opened in NeroShowTime Player: the video have a serious interruptions of the playback, some moments plays back-and-forward, and it isn't fluid at all!
I tried to create a DVD with EncoreCS4 and played it with DVD Player set-top-box, and the result is bad, and is the same as the playback on my PC with NeroShowTime Player. It present the back-and-forwars interruptions.
I tried also to create an AVCHD Project 1080p 25p and import the .MP4 file, but the problem persists !
After exporting them, and played-back on NeroShowTime and on Set-Top-Box Player, the video have strange behavior, and plays back-and-forward!
1) What Preset in Premiere should I use to editing, for this .MP4 file format, (filmed with Canon HF100 AVCHD and converted from original .MTS format to .MP4 format)?
2) Is this a transcoding problem?
3) Is this an exporting MPEG2-DVD PAL field-order issue?
This is my bad exported MPEG2-DVD converted file, available for downloading:
http://rapidshare.com/files/337858976/Canon_HF100_1920x1080p_25p_01_AVCHD25p.m2v.html
Strange! With .MTS files I haven't any exporting problems at all!
Please response me hurry!
Many Thanks!
Horsepower.

OK! Sanyo use a bad format.
But about JVC GY-HM100 Professional:
I know this model very well!
It records to .MP4 XDCAM_EX at the same manner of Professionals Sony Camcorder such this: Sony XDCAM_EX model "PMW-EX1" price €6.478,80.
This JVC GY-HM100 camcorder is not tha same as Consumer JVC camcorders.
It doesn't record MOD or TOD files.
It records .MP4 files editables in Premiere with XDCAM_EX "Preset"!
See those details:
http://pro.jvc.com/pro/attributes/HDTV/manual/editing1.html
http://pro.jvc.com/pro/hm100/content.jsp?model_id=MDL101845&attributeId=2&feature_id=02
See also this page:
http://pro.jvc.com/pro/hm100/content.jsp?model_id=MDL101845&attributeId=12&feature_id=12
The first Brochure called "A Guide to the Most Efficient Workflow with ProHD
(6 pg brochure)" explain very well the .MP4 - XDCAM_EX format and the Editing process that should be with Adobe PremiereProCS4.
I have inspected the downloaded .mp4 file in question, and GSPOT v.2.70a reading this:
-CONTAINER:
     isom: MP4 Base Media v1 [IS0 14496-12:2003]
-VIDEO:
     CODEC:avc1
     NAME: H.264/MPEG-4 AVC
-AUDIO:
      CODEC: mp4a: MPEG-4 AAC LC
1c) Is this an AVCHD video codec?

Converting a video to MP4 format

Good morning.
I have a video on my mini that I want to shrink down in size and put into MP4 format. If I use Handbrake and convert it keeping the aspect ratio the same and not changing any of the height and width numbers, will the resulting file still show correctly on my widescreen tv, the same as the original did?
Thanks.
