MOVIE CONVERSION

When i install a movie on Itunes and use the "convert selection for Ipod" facility, the ovie is converted WITHOUT SOUND. How do i rectify this?

Quicktime or Quicktime Pro (which iTunes uses) don't convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
See:iPod plays video but not audio.
You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

  • Artifacts in Using Save As for AVI to MOV Conversion?

    When I SAVE AS a compressed avi file to mov, I am seeing artifacts (they look like interlacing errors) in the final mov file, vs the same frames in the .avi file.  Can I avoid this somehow?  The avi file was compressed with the BlackMagic Intensity code (I think it's motion jpg too).
    The file sizes are the same.
    Bummer, I bought Quicktime Pro just for this.  Any help appreciated.
    Thanks

    Can anyone here tell me why two duplicate laptops treat the avi-to-mov conversion so differently and why I must export at 480p?
    As to QT playback, either the codec component configuration is different on each system or the the AVI file contains a legacy video codec that is turned on for system "A" but left off for system "B" but which is included in the Perian bundle installed on system "B." With reguard to the forced conversion rather than a simple "Save As..." action, please confirm the video codec name given in the "Inspector" window for each system. I suspect that either the video codec is different on each system or that the Perian version of the same codec with a different name may be forcing the "Export" conversion.

  • Slow Movie Conversion  5th Gen I-POD

    Up to now, the movie conversion rate on my I-POD was rather quick. 3-4 minutes for a 25 meg Quicktime movie approximately. Now it takes a better part of a day to convert one, I get so disgusted I usually stop it before it gets halfway done. My music conversions are still as quick as ever (15-20 secs per song). Any ideas? This happened it seemed overnite. I have about 6 meg of music/movies on my 30meg pod. Thanks for any advice.

    My view of this is that the conversion takes place on the computer, before it is sync'd to the iPod. It may be a problem on your PC. How much disc space do you have on your computer? If you are low, or there are a number of other programs running at the time, it would affect the processor coverting the movie.

  • In Thunderbird while trying to move conversation results to an archive folder; if some of the results are already in the folder it will not move any.

    Hi. I often use the conversation search option when archiving my emails from inbox. I find this a very useful method of finding trails where I and multiple people have responded to each other. However If I have already moved one or more of these emails into the archive folder and select all to move, Thunderbird will not move any. I then need to individually select those that need to be moved.
    Although not a major issue I use this regularly and often come across the problem. a recent fix which allows location tab to remain on in search helps but does not resolve this issue. A slightly annoying problem and I was wondering if any one else has this issue. Also is anyone looking into a solution?

    FCPx answer: At least the answer that worked for me...
    I had the same problem, as I believe many others had.
    In my case the problem was with one of OSX Mavericks' new features: APP NAP.
    It looks like this is ON by DEFAULT for ALL Applications and that FCPx, or Compressor for that matter, will not work if this is enabled on them.
    I just disabled App Napp on FCPx and now it works, again, like a charm.
    This is how you disable App Nap: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57612009-263/how-to-disable-app-nap-in-os-x -mavericks/

  • Help with Automator Script for QuickTime Pro Movie Conversion from Vado

    All my videos from my Creative Vado do not show up in iMovie 09 initially on import. By trial and error, I have discovered that the old version of QuickTime Pro 7 ($29.95) will convert them to .mov files that can be seen by iMovie 09 once the converted videos are imported back into iPhoto.
    I am (very) new to mac things, and it looks like in theory I could use Automator to handle to conversion process, and perhaps even the re-import into iPhoto. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about this? Where would be a good site to post this as a project that I could pay some one to help me, provide an automator script/workflow?
    Are any other solutions available? Buy Final Cut etc?
    PS (Rant): One of the reasons I bought a MacBook Pro and iLife was to take advantage of what I thought was supposed to be Apple's superior multimedia handling. It seems ludicrous to me that with a MacBook Pro running the latest software (10.6.4), and using the latest versions of iLife, I'd have to buy an old version of QuickTime to convert my videos so that I could manipulate them in iMovie. Sigh.

    MPeg Stram clip will export files which are compatible with iMovie '09. It (iMovie )can import the following.
    DV
    AIC
    Motion-JPEG
    Photo-JPEG
    MPEG-4 (Supported profiles)
    H.264 (Supported profiles)
    Apple Animation (Movie '09 only)
    Apple Video (iMovie '09 only)
    iMovie '08/'09 will not accept files containing extraneous data tracks such as:
    'Tween
    Text
    Chapter
    Closed Caption
    Secondary audio such as AC3
    etc.
    iMovie '08/'09 Will not accept files that rely on proprietary/third-party components such as
    DivX
    WMV
    XviD
    etc.

  • .vob to.mov Conversion

Are there any other software recomendations that I can use for converting .vob files to quicktime media .mov files that is more effecient?

  • Mpeg streamclip avi to mov conversion settings for Final Cut Pro

    Some help please.
    I have just started to attempt to edit some avi files on the latest FCP, and for one reason or another, I'm having trouble converting the AVI files to MOV files in Streamlip, I have tried quite a few variations, but with very little joy. When i try to import a recently created MOV file into my FCP project, it either has no audio or both video and audio need rendering once placed on the timeline.
    When I try to play the created MOV on QuickTime, again, there is no sound.
    I was just wondering if someone would be kind enough to tell me the exact Streamclip AVI -> MOV settings they have used to combat this problem, or simply just tell me where I'm going wrong.
    Hugely appreciated.

    Hi again,
    I have spent the last few hours trying all different types of variations of conversion, but with no lukc.
    Thanks for the tutorial link, but the problem isn't that I don't understand how to use Streamclip. i just don't know which video and audio settings to use to create a .MOV file that will provide me with audio. This seems to be my major problem so far. Audio isn't even present when I view the .MOV clip in quicktime.
    I have tried DV - PAL, H.264, Apple Motion Jpeg A, Apple DVCPRO - PAL etc etc, none with any success. It may be the way I'm trying to compress the audio, but I'm pretty sure that I've now tried everything!
    I simply need to know a good conversion and compression setting that will at the very least allow me to play the video with audio in QT. once I have that, I don't mind rendering the audio in FCP as it takes no time at all to do.
    Cheers!

  • Old Home Movies conversion help needed! Please!

    I have about 18 hours of various movies that had been built in Pinnacle Studio (transitions etc.) on a PC Computer. There is no disc chaptering and this is a PC only program. I want to bring them over to iMovie or another program on my new iMac and have the end result to put them on USB. Pinnacle said that burning to DVD would be the only way to incorporate menus and chapters etc. Is there any way for iMovie to do this? or another program? We just want to be able to have them on USB to distribute to the family and have them put in their computer and be able to play back the various movies and have the option to fast forward or skip to a certain part in the movie with scene selection etc. I have several options to export the Pinnacle movies. Mpeg1, mpeg2 and a few others.
    Any help or direction would be appreciated. We don't want to have to chop our videos to burn to a bunch of DVDS if possible.....

    I can't answer your question completely but I will try and fill in a few blanks. Perhaps others will add more later.
    I would try to make your final result a DVD. When you put video on a USB stick you have simply created another file that may, or may not work, in the future. You can certainly do that if you wish, but I would also make a DVD. The advantage of DVDs is that they are foolproof and universal, and most likely to be viewable for the next 30 years.
    I had good success with iMovie HD 06. Readily available on Amazon as part of iLife 06. Most files can simply be dragged into iMovie HD 06 and it will automatically convert them. It may be possible to do this with newer versions of iMovie but I rarely use those. I prefer the higher quality of iMovie HD 06.
    For DVD making use iDVD 09. I recommend the 09 version because it is the only version that includes all of the themes. Newer versions have had themes removed.

  • Avi to Mov conversion software for Mac

    Since I can't search I may be asking a redundant question, but can anyone help me with locating some software for the Mac that will help me to convert some .avi files to .mov?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    i think quicktime pro will do that.
    unless it's some obscure, windows encoded avi file...
    i like to use iSquint which is a free, slimmer version of Visual Hub...
    --it's meant for getting just about anything on the iPod... but the settings allow you to choose pretty much whatever you want...

  • M4v  to .mov conversion

    I just purchased the rose bowl summary on itunes. can i convert it to a .mov file?
    thanks
    jim

    The protected files can't be imported into iMovie (I guess you tried) and can't be "shared". It's part of the purchase agreement at the ITMS.
    A 320X240 file will not look very good when played back on a TV.
    It was a very good game. Maybe the trainer can get some other source of video that can be edited in iMovie.

  • Old 8mm. Movies, Conversion to DVD?

    My own video cameras may not be of high enough quality to do this conversion, even using their signal out as a direct input to something like the Canopus ADVD-100.
    Are there any companies that do this conversion commercially?

    Look in your local phone book under "Video" or "Video Services". I had some childhood 8mm & Super 8 reels transferred to VHS a couple years ago, and I'm sure nowadays they can go straight to DVD.
    Wasn't that expensive really.
    Good Luck

  • AVI and MOV conversion?

    I just got a new iPod Classic 80gb, and I found out that you cant sync AVI and MOV file format videos to it.
    What I was wondering if there is a patch or something that allows my iPod to read AVI or MOV formats.
    I'm using iSquint, but its rather slow for a 500mhz G4.
    Thanks

    Hello - I have a post below yours about converting avi files. So gather from your post that I need to buy quick pro, not just use what came with my new mbpro to be able to convert the files. Is this correct?

  • Best file format for 8mm home movie conversion

    Hi there,
    I'm about to get some old 'standard' 8mm home movies from the 60s & 70s converted to DVD as a Christmas gift for my mum.
    The transfer company will also supply the footage as files to view/edit on my mac at a later date. I'm a complete iMovie novice so my question is, which file format should I choose?
    They're offering AVI, MPEG 4, WMV, .MOV or Pro Res files.
    Many thanks in advance for your help...
    Jon Howard
    PS I'm running iMovie '08 (7.1.4) & OS X 10.6.8 on an intel 13" macbook in the UK (PAL area).

    Pro Res in potentially the best, but you would need Final Cut Pro, not iMovie, to edit it.
    It is difficult to advise you without knowing the technology they are using. Are they capturing in High Definition progressive or Standard Definition interlaced?
    I found a US company that would scan the 8MM at 1080P. They provided the files in Motion JPEG format. This proved to work great in iMovie.
    If they are doing Standard Definition, I would say go for DV if they can. MOV is generally good, but MOV is a container, not a codec, so it depends on what is inside it.
    Here is a post where I discussed the results.
    Here is a link to the company that did it. http://www.mymovietransfer.com/
    Here is a sample of the results. Watch in full screen if you can.

  • Movie conversion issue?

    I Use Isquint to change wav files to mpeg4. I seem to have issues at times with the video quality after the conversion. They play fine via wav file but once converted they seem to distort at times. I this a Isquint issue or an id10t issue?
    Thanks..

    Its more than likely Isquint becuase i think if it was a id10t issue more people whould know about it

  • Quicktime MOV conversion to FLV results in greyout video

    Hi,
    I use FCP 7.0.1 on Snow Leopard and my end videos I export as Quicktime videos. Then I convert this MOV to FLV using Adobe Media Encoder CS4.
    I didn't have any problems till yesterday when I did the adobe update, and my Media Encoder was also updated to the newest version...now my FLVs are all greyed out. Looks like washed out video. There is no white.
    I didn't find the appropriate forum for Adobe Media Encoder CS4 so I posted this up here!
    Please help! Any advice on what could be wrong?
    Thanx in advance!
    Imre

    Are you sending your sequence to Compressor?  Using any of the H.264 settings in Compressor, ie. youtube sharing, web download 7 folder will convert to .flv.   Once you output the .mov file, rename or just add the .flv extension.  Hint: make sure that in your encoding tab you have "fast start" selected.
    The renamed file works beautifully in my html editor (Dreamweaver CS4) and plays in my Adobe Media player.  The only problem I am having is with my PC clients.  We can not figure out why they can not play downloaded .flv files on their window based PC's.  I have files encoded in both Compressor and Adobe Media Encoder.  We did figure out today that the files renamed from Compressor (.mov) to .flv do play in the QT®player.

  • 8mm movie conversion

    I have about 1200 feet of old 8mm movie film that I would like to have converted so that I can import it into Apple’s iMovie where I can edit it and make a movie of it and put it on a DVD with menus.
    What format do I want to have it converted to ?
    Which version of iMovie is the best for this ?

    I think your question is sort of outside the realm of iMovie and more of how to get old film based movies recorded onto digital tape or another digital format easily imported to the computer.
    Most people who report on what they did ended up displaying the movie onto a good background with the projector and simply video taping it off the screen, wall, sheet, etc.
    These are old silent 8mm films?
