Marking Multiple Videos As TV Shows

When I fired up iTunes 7, I saw that there was an option to change individual movies to TV Shows, but since I have whole seasons, it would be very tedious to do this for all my TV Shows. The option to change to TV Show is only available on the video tab of get info for one file. Is there any way to edit video info in bulk?

You an accomplish this with AppleScript. Save this script with Script Editor. Highlight some tracks and then run it:
tell application "iTunes"
get selection of front browser window
if (selection of front browser window) is not {} then
set sel to a reference to selection of front browser window
repeat with thisTrack in sel
if kind of thisTrack contains "video" then
set video kind of thisTrack to TV show
end if
end repeat
end if
end tell

How can I set multiple videos to "TV Show"?

I'm importing an entire season and they all default to "Movie". So, I know that I can set the video type to "TV Show", but if I select more than one video, there is no "Video" tab. Does anyone know how to set the types of multiple videos at once?

This is a good question and I haven't found a method yet either. This seems to be an oversight on Apple's part.

Marking imported video as "TV shows"

Hi,
I ripped some TV show DVD's take with me on my brank spanking new iPod. I've managed to import them fine but it only lists them as 'movies' within iTunes and I can't seem to get them marked as TV Shows. Marking the genre has no effect they still remain in 'movies'. This wouldn't be a huge deal if it wasn't for the fact that TV Shows on the iPod in a similar fashion to allbums, i.e. hierarchal folders.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul.

With the video highlighted in iTunes, choose File: Get Info
Towards the top of the window that pops up, select the "Options" tab
You should now see a pulldown menu labeled "Video Kind:", and one of the options is "TV Show"

How do you guys reduce noise in Canon 5d mark II video?

I am really interested to know if anybody could give me leads on how to reduce noise in 5d mark II videos. First off - Canon 5d mark II stock HD bitrate is not really nice. Even shooting in day time I have color noise and a lot of noise in shadow areas. Its only after I played with ML 2.3 and tried to shoot 1080p vid on CBR 1.4x mode (thats the maximum bitrate supported by my present CF card but planning to buy a new one).
How do you guys deal with it?

Tests have been done that show ISO settings in multiples of 160 produce the least amount of noise on video. Starting at 160 the 5Dmkii produces less noise than even at lower ISO settings of even 100 ISO. 160, 320, 480(500), 640 and so on. If you need ISO settings of a lot higher and the noise becomes obvious there is video noise reduction software that could help.

I have the apple univeral dock and AV cables and can play videos and slide shows on my TV but not music How do I play the music

I am trying to connect an IPOD classic to my TV to play music
I have the dock and AV cables and can play videos and slide shows but not music

Actually, i figured part of it out. When I'm playing itunes to my Apple Tv and Airport Express stations around the house, then turn on the mirroring, the itunes volume bar goes all the way to zero. I can bring it back up manually, and it will play on Apple TV, but it won't broadcast to multiple Airport Express speakers, the way it was doing before I turned on mirroring. It seems that mirroring turns off the airport express stations.

Multiple video playback issues

Hi All,
I would dearly appreciaty any light anyone could shed on this issue - I have run into a couple of Flash bugs that have stumped me for quite a while, and my deadline is aproaching fast.
Essentially, I would like to play back 3 reasonably high res videos (On2 VP6-S) simultaneously in one Flash App (using flash.video, netstream and netconnect - code only). Unfortunately, when I do this, the video playback drops a lot of frames, however, CPU usage does not go much above 50% - spread over both cores. I'm using a Core2Duo. If I play the same 3 videos simultaneously in 3 separate flash apps (FP10), they play much better (and use close to 100% CPU). I even tried creating it as an AIR app with 3 separate windows (NativeWindow), but that made little difference. I have lodged this as a bug via the Flash Bug Reporting System (http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-2341).
And yes, I do need to be doing something as crazy as this - it is for a pretty cool kiosk app, so I know what hardware will be used (and it has a good Graphics Card).
One promising workaround appeared to be playing back a single NetStream in multiple Video instances, as it is NetStream that does the decoding, so I could decode once and present it in 3 places. Two of my video objects are actually the same flv (on different monitors), so there would be a 33% saving right there. If necessary, I could encode both flvs into a single 1920x1200 flv (I've checked - it would play back ok) and then use video.mask to show the relevant bits.
However, another bug has been reported at http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-920 saying this does not work - Video in the object that last called attachNetStream(ns) will play, all others will freeze. They do mention a workaround that gets both videos to play - reset the size of freezed videos on ENTER_FRAME event. However, I cannot get this workaround to work - my first video is empty (not even frozen).
So there are a couple of things I would love any feedback on. Firstly, if anyone has insights on how I could get this to work. Secondly, if anyone could try the "multiple videos on one netStream with workaround" code below (simply copy, paste and point to a relevant flv) and let me know if it works and the versions of software they used, I'd be very thankful.
---------------Code Begins-------------
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.media.Video;
import flash.net.NetConnection;
import flash.net.NetStream;
showRedrawRegions(true); // both the placeholders and the entire window redraws every frame.
// When only video1 is attached, only video1's region is redrawing
// When both videos are attached, both video's regions are redrawing, BUT video1 is empty.
trace ("Capabilities.version = " + Capabilities.version); // = WIN 10,0,22,91 // in Flash CS4 10.0.2
//var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection( null ); // Got Eror: 1137: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected no more than 0.
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
// Connect nc here ...? Unnecessary in this case?
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
ns.client = new Object(); // Simplest way to deal with cuePoints and metaData by doing nothing. For more, see http://blogs.adobe.com/pdehaan/2006/07/playing_back_flvs_with_actions_1.html
var stream:String = "test.flv";
var video1:Video = new Video(); // Defaults to size of 320x240
var video2:Video = new Video(); // Defaults to size of 320x240
video2.x = 320;
addChild(video1);
addChild(video2);
ns.play(stream);
video1.attachNetStream(ns);
video2.attachNetStream(ns);
// PROBLEM: Video in the object that last called attachNetStream(ns) will play, all others will freeze.
// See WORKAROUND below for solution:
//WORKAROUND to stop the first split stream from freezing:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);
function onEnterFrame(e:Event){
video1.width = 320;
video1.height = 240;
trace ("video1.videoWidth = " + video1.videoWidth);
trace ("video2.videoWidth = " + video2.videoWidth);
// When only video1 is attached, video1.videoWidth = 1920, video2.videoWidth = 0
// When both videos are attached, video1.videoWidth = 0, video2.videoWidth = 1920
---------------Code Ends-------------
Letting me know what exact versions of the following software was used would help a lot:
- Windows/OS (e.g. XP SP3).
- App code was written in. (e.g. Flash CS4 IDE 10.0.2, Flash Develop 3.0.1).
- App code was compiled in. (e.g. Flash CS4 IDE 10.0.2, Flex SDK 3.4.0.6955).
- Type and Version of Flash Player used (e.g. Standalone Debug Flash Player v10,0,22,91).
The versions I used are listed above.
Lastly, for what it is work, I found three interesting/informative results, but they didn't help me:
- When only video1 is attached, video1.videoWidth = 1920, video2.videoWidth = 0
When both videos are attached, video1.videoWidth = 0, video2.videoWidth = 1920
- When only video1 is attached, only video1's region is redrawing
When both videos are attached, both video's regions are redrawing, BUT video1 is empty.
- var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection( null ); // Got Eror: 1137: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected no more than 0.
So I had to change it to:
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
Does this mean my NetConnection class is different and maybe incompatible with this workaround?
Many, many thanks,

How to view/hear pretty much everything:
Assuming you already run OS 10.4.9 or above and have Quicktime 7.2, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer from http://uk.real.com/player/
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
The world should now be your oyster!
You should also have the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

After my last download I now have video adds that show up in the broswer from time to time. How can I get rid of them.

on my last down load of firefox, I not have two issues that occur, One every once and awhile I get a video ad that shows up in the lower left corn of the browser. I have uninstalled your software and reinstalled and it is still there. Also I get a web site of inksr.com that my trend micro blocks everytime I go to a new web site within firefox. Both of these have started after I was told to redownload your software in order to get the updates to work and not be blocked.

Transferring multiple videos by windows explorer. Error code 0x80030001

Phoostream is a great feature. Transferring photos have never been so easy. However, I do have a qualm regarding the service and that is that it does not sync videos! Therefore, I still have to go back to the arduous processes of plugging it into my computer and selecting the videos to be transferred to my computer. However, it wasn't as easy as I had expected. Windows import feature imports both photo and videos and I can ONLY import new media. Old media is not imported so that means that videos that I synced that may have been deleted are not imported through windows explorer.l, and I cannot get it to transfer anymore. I tried copy and pasting multiple videos from the windows explorer but it prompted me the error code 0x80030001 and it cannot be transferred. I have to transfer them individually. Anyone has a reliable and easy way to get my videos to transfer from iPhone to PC?

yeah! sure windows problem... neither the location nor the folder path is given in default industry standards... by APPLE DEVICE
But if I need my latest taken picture from an apple phone... one can see over more than 30 directories random named like 845OJOX or 900DZDMI ???
In those random named directories lies apples 'closed coding' following faulthy tagging and resulting in different and random again batches of photos taken.
If I do a search in windows I can find all the pictures on this apple phone and even better i'm in control to sort the way i like!
Unfortunately the apple 'faulthy tagging method' makes it impossible to communicate with any other divice about accessing...
This is a simple poor show of apple's limited object oriented filing...
The same i had from pictures taken of a holliday where i did change my phone to local time and my wife's phone not and the seperate camera had also home settings... when i imported those all together after holliday via a program called i-tunes I had to buy 3 different apps and store all these holliday pictures(8gig) seperate (problem since 16gig should be available on apples device; i had only 9gig freed by eliminating all apps possible... and needed 24gig total for apps photo database) in all the overpriced purchased apps, to finaly show those pictures time synchronized to the holliday !
How hard it can be to sort files as the user needs????
DRAMATIC POOR APPLE PERFORMANCE (i thought apple was so good with pictures and so..)
On my pc I also did import the holliday pictures from these three devices and sorted those within minutes(!!!) right to holliday time sync...
Anyway i found also a time consuming way to copy latest taken pictures in random apple maps
(i wish to select a specific time batch and drag these to new map on pc (no apple pc))
look in all the random named apple device maps and check if there is a picture belonging to the batch you need and drag these to the new map...
Something what could take from any other phone some milisecs... takes with apple devices 2 days time !!!!
Best way for taking photo's you need later on other devices than apple... take the photo's on a non apple device and save extra holliday time!

How to upload multiple video with windows explorer view

In SharePoint 2013, i found that directly uploading videos to library will result in wrong content type for these videos. I have tried in both asset library and document library which use video content type. When i upload video using explorer view, these
videos are configured to use "document" or "audio"content type. Without "video" content type, i can't watch the video using browser such as Chrome. Is there any way to upload multiple videos to SharePoint 2013 library using "video"
content type? Otherwise we need to upload them one by one.

When using multiple upload, the Default document type for the library is used. If you create a video library that only has the Video content type installed and set to default, then the videos will have this content type applied.

Best Configuration for Multiple Video Captures

Hello,
What would be faster and the most efficient for multiple video captures:
- 9 video feeds written to 3 separate internal hard drives (3 feeds per hard drive)
- 9 video feeds written to 3 internal hard drives in a combined RAID configuration
- 9 video feeds written to 9 separate external hard drives via eSATA
I have a Mac Pro 3.06GHz 12-core Intel Xeon machine that will be dedicated to a security camera application (SecuritySpy). The Mac OS and SecuritySpy will be on one hard drive and send the captured video from nine network HD cameras to the other hard drives. The computer, eSATA card, and all the hard drives are 6Gb/s capable. I also have access to SoftRAID for the RAID configuration, as well as an 8-bay eSATA hard drive enclosure if I choose. There are pros and cons for each of the configurations, but I am looking for the most reliable setup in terms of efficiency and longevity.
“Technological change is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal.” (Albert Einstein, 1941),
Dr. Z.

Just wanted to post the details of my final set up, maybe this will be useful to others looking to do a similar setup:
1. Connected and set up the external hard drive (I bought a Western Digital My Book Pro Edition II 1TB) via Firewire 800 on iMac #1.
2. Set up iMac #1 to backup via Time Machine. Even though the other computers will see the drive, apparently they will not recognize it in Time Machine unless you set it up on the computer the drive is connected to first (I tried).
3. On iMac #2, connect to iMac #1 via file sharing, this is even easier now that you can access any computer on your network under "SHARED" in the sidebar of any finder window.
4. Double-click the external drive. If you don't see the drive, click "Connect as" in the top right of the window and login. It's not necessary to do this, but if you want to confirm you've connected to the network drive, you can go to Finder -> Preferences -> General and under "Show these items on the Desktop" check the box next to "Connected Servers". This will make an icon for the external drive appear on your desktop.
5. Turn on Time Machine on iMac #2. Repeat for any other computers you want to back up.
That's it. So far this has worked great for me. Obviously the backups run a little slower on the computers running through file share, but its a small trade-off compared to either manually moving the drive around or getting three separate drives.

Images on Tumblr and embeded videos won't show up

The image/gif problem is only on Tumblr (as far as I saw), but it's as if the images weren't even there. (the way I see it, it only happens when I'm browsing through someone's tumblr, but when I enter a tag every picture showes, and on my dashboard as well). when I press reload, it reloads the entire site without the pictures. I tried a link on internet explorer and google chrome: it showed the pictures on IE, but not on GC. At first I thought it was because I didn't update firefox, but it showed up even after I updated everything (including adds-on). I also cleared my cookies and cache, and tried other things but nothing worked.
Embedded videos won't show up anywhere.

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
*check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions" or all domains via the about:permissions page
*check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
*check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
*check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).
If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
Make sure that you do not block third-party images, the permissions.default.image pref should be 1.
There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.

Can't change the type of media from Home videos to TV Shows.

My aim is to organize videos into folders, so I followed the well known workaround to change the type of videos to 'TV Show' and group them by name of the 'show'. After changing the type, videos are moved to 'TV Shows', but when I try to play them on iPad, the player shows up for a fraction of second and closes (the "downloading" icon appears, of course running endlessly, since the files are mine, not downloaded). After that, when I try to play the video in iTunes, the exclamation mark appears, and the only thing I can do with the video is delete it...
I have, in fact, succeeded in this conversion with one of the files, but only once. After deleting it and trying once again, the same problem appeared. Is this a software bug, or a new feature in iOS 8.1 and the only thing I can do to get my videos organized is rely on third party apps?

OK, the problem is solved. I've beed uploading the videos directly to iPad ("On My Device" section) and then trying to change the type to TV Show, while I should first import them into iTunes library, then change the type, and finally sync.

Can iMovie makes videos with multiple different video playing together as one? Because I am doing this vocal thing while I need multiple records down together as they play. If iMovie doesn't do the job, what other programs can I try?

HOW TO MARK MULTIPLE FACES

i am facing problems in marking multiple faces and also evrytime i open iPhoto i get the message "5 photos have been found in the iPhoto library that were not imported." but i never find the photos and there is addition in recovered photos

Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
Start iPhoto. Does that help?
If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.

Changing infomation for multiple video files in itunes

I have been converting TV episodes to play on my iPod touch and when I add them into the iTunes catalog it considers them "movies".
If I “get info” on a single file and go to the "Video" tab, I have the options to select "Video Kind" (the options are Movie, Music Video and TV show) and the option to enter the name of the show. However, if I select several videos and "get info" iTunes gives me the standard choices for changing the identity tags... the same as for a music file.
The best description I can figure to give this is an ID3 tag for video... anyhew, on to my question.
I have converted the full run of South Park (don't worry they were recorded digitally from TV and I am using them myself)and that is A LOT of episodes if I were to go into each file individually. Is there a way to select a number of video files and select "TV Show" and have them all marked with South Park as the show title?
Also, if I can't do it in iTunes, is there a 3rd party application that will allow me to do it.
Thanks for any help,
NOS

This shortcoming of iTunes has bothered many of us for a long time. All the TV shows I offload to DVD-R for space and then later bring back into iTunes become "Movie" again, and I have to fix each one. There is no way to batch-edit the Video Kind choice in iTunes.
The easiest workaround I've found is to select the first TV show in the playlist or library, Get Info, change the video kind to "TV Show," and then use the Next button. The Video Kind box will remain active, and you can press arrow-down on the keyboard to choose "TV Show" again. Click Next, arrow-down, click Next, arrow-down . . . Soon you will have fixed all the files in the list.
Now start at the top again and type "South Park" into the Show field. Copy the words. Click Next, and paste the words. Next, paste, Next, paste . . . Now you will have given all the shows the correct name.
Another oddness about this Video tab: See the box for episode number? ITunes doesn't use that in the TV Shows library. It uses the music track number on the General tab.
