.mp4 and .avi video thumbnails in finder view

Hi, Some of my .mp4 and .avi video files have a thumbnail in finder view and some don't... Does anyone know how I can solve this?

  • How to split Large mp4 and AVI video files to smaller scenes

    Hi All
    I’ve been looking into how to cut-up large files ready for import into CS4. So far all I can find are the usual suspects that only lets you cut a section from a file. Dose anyone use any software that enables you to split a large video file (MP4, AVI and so on) into say 20 sections all in one hit?
    I do a lot of HD onboard cams, so the video is set to fire and only shut off when the run has finished. I then end up with about 60 percent of the file (in diferent parts) I need to trash.
    Any help or advice would be much appreciated indeed!
    Xray

  • How do I convert a shockwave object file into a mp4 or avi video?

    How do I convert a shockwave object file into a mp4 or avi video?  Do you know of any software that converts that type of file?  

    The M4V format is a video file format developed by Apple and is very close to the MP4 format. The differences are the optional Apple's DRM copyright protection, and the treatment of AC3 (Dolby Digital) audio which is not standardized for the MP4 container.
    If your M4V video is not unprotected M4V files and without AC3 audio. It may be recognized and played by other video players by changing the file extension from ".m4v" to "mp4".
    So you can try to change the file extension and check if it works. If it doesn't work, try Leawo video converter(for windows or mac) and convert m4v to mp4 format.

  • How to place local mp4 and ogg video in Muse?

    I have been using Flash to create interactive training including FLV over the web. Now that FLV is dead on the web. I wanted to use Muse but my customer requires video clips to be on his business server. Muse appears to only support uTube like video? Is there a work around to play local mp4 and ogg video by adding HTML code into Muse?
    JU in Chelan

    There is a native audio and video players embeded here >>
    http://jforbes.us/test/index.html
    I coded the HTML in Dreamweaver, Inserted it into Muse, Exported to HTML, FTPed to host.
    At first it didn't play because I hadn't uploaded the media files. Once that was done - It seems to work.
    Excuse the An animation at the top of page. I just used an existing Muse test page to test your idea.

  • Upload mp4 and 3gp video, just have voice but no picture

    Hello,
    I upload mp4 and 3gp video, just have voice but no picture.
    The recorded MP4 video files from smartphones, upload to stream server,
    just have voice but no picture.
    But I download mp4 and 3gp videos from youtube through third-party software,
    only mp4 have picture, the 3gp videos still no picture.
    Can someone tell me why, and how to solve it?
    Thanks!!

    If your iMovie is otherwise acting ok, and it wouldn't hurt to delete preferences to double check that,  then;
    My two guesses are:
    1) The movie file is corrupt in some way, unusable.
    2) it is made in a codec that you will need to convert in order to play in iMovie. I would try playing it in Mpeg Streamcast (free download) and VLC, also a free download. They will sometimes play clips that quicktime won't.
    But it really would help to know what the codec is, or what camera it was made on.
    Video clips really don't work sometimes because they were screwed up in the camera.

  • Trying to play Mp4 and Avi on N900

    I have converted some DVDs to MP4 using Handbrake and transferred them to my N900 but they won't play. the message says the format isn't supported. But I'm sure MP4s are supported.
    I have also tried to copy oves some AVI files and again they won't play, this time the message says the audio won't play.
    Can anyone help me here?
    I would be most grateful.

    1. how is it a bad post if it is a valid solution?
    2. its a freeware program... with no insoftware advertising (aside from asking if you want to try their toolbar), so theres no profit to be made. i dont work for dvdvideosoft, otherwise there would be a dedicated n900 video converter instead of me editing scripts originally designed for iphone... so why am i being pinned for advertising? its not my fault nokia do not have their own program for encoding videos to the n900's resolution... and im providing a solution that takes care of this...

  • Mocha AE failed to open .mp4 and .avi

    Hallo,
    I used usually mocha and it worked perfekt, but today I was trying import a video and it say "failed to open file ***.avi: currupt or in unsupported format" the same message it say with mp4 format.
    What can I do? avi and mp4 formats are support formats.
    I'm using Format Factory 3.2.1., Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, AAE CC lastest version.
    Thank you.

    Not all video formats are currently supported by mocha AE. Imagineer is working to resolve this, but currently if you clip does not open in mocha AE, we recomend transcoding it to another format. This tech note may help: http://www.imagineersystems.com/support/Documentation/supported-file-formats#idp19920
    What to Do if mocha AE Does Not Support Your Footage
    In the rare event that you are working in a format that mocha doesn't support, we recommend converting the footage to an image sequence.
    If you are just tracking, you can use any compressed format such as a JPG sequence and then use your original footage when you apply the data.  If you are going to be doing rendering, such as using Mocha Pro's remove or insert modules, then we recommend converting to a DPX or TIFF sequence.
    Make sure of the following when converting to an image sequence:
    The frame rate, aspect ratio and dimensions are the same as the original footage.
    If you are creating proxy footage, make sure the aspect ratio and frame rate are the same.
    If you are using a particular bit depth, make sure you convert to the same depth if you are using the footage for rendering inside mocha
    If using compressed footage, don't set the compression too low, as this will create artifacts that may hinder tracking and roto.
    Make sure mocha supports the sequence you are converting to!
    If you would prefer to convert to a movie clip format then we recommend a standard format that QuickTime would understand, such as Animation. If you are working on OSX, ProRes can also be a good alternative.

  • Iphoto and avi file thumbnail problem

    I have a imported my photo library into iphoto 08 but the thumbnails for the short vids taken on my camera do not show up- I just get a black thumbnail with a video camera in the corner. Is there a way to add the first shot of the video to these files or is there a way to import them where I will get the thumbnails?
    Any help is appreciated. I have had my (first) mac since January and this is the first thing I couldn't work out easily for myself...

    When you import a movie iPhoto grabs the first frame and uses it as a thumbnail. If the first frame is blank, well then that's what you got.
    iPhoto is a photo manager - that is, it's a database with a built-in image viewer. But the key factor is the database. iPhoto cannot work with images that have not been imported.
    I have no idea why you're moving photos around like this.
    Are you running a Managed Library or a Referenced Library?
    If you're running a Managed library, then it's the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing
    If you're running a Referenced Library, then you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced and iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing.

  • 3gp and avi videos not supported by Zune

    Hi all,
    Currently Zune supports only mp4 format.
    Zune cant able to sync other video formats.
    Even the files cant be downloaded from Internet Explorer.
    I contacted nokia. They said Phone will support all these formats.
    My question is that, there is no way to import such video formats into phone.
    Then, how can i play???
    When i download video, it simply plays. But cant able to download into phone.

    There is more to a video file then it's extension, lots of codecs out there. I'd like to see native support for more codecs but until that happened. Use a program to convert the videos to MP4.
    A great program to do this is which also happens to be free and one of the best programs for conversion is HandBrake. Some advantages, videos play amazing when converted to the native format. If you want you can also scale the video to match the resolution of the phone (800x480) which will produce smaller file allowing you to store more videos on your phone.
    You can download it here.

  • Itunes / Front Row mp4 and avi and xvid

    Hello.
    I have started collecting and moving my videos to my macbook.
    From my linux/windows days I have avi xvid/divx files.
    I have divx player installed on my mac and those files play fine if I click on them.
    They also will play if I put them in my movie folder and use front row.
    If I try to move avi and xvid to itunes. They will not import.
    I assume this is the case becuase itunes is only allowing files into itunes lib that will sync and play on a vid ipod?
    However with the move to appleTV and such there are those that are going to want a HQ video that maynot sync on ipod.
    Basicly, I just need to know what format I need to start experimenting as far as size/quality ratio so that I can move my vids to that format.
    Thanks for your help.

    If I try to move avi and xvid to itunes. They will not import.

    Close... Quicktime has to be able to support the formats for them to be accepted into iTunes.

  • Quicktime Update No Longer Plays Any of My MP4 or M4V Video Files!?

    Hi there everyone. I am absolutely desperate to find a solution to my problem now, so I was hoping someone on here might be able to help me out. I have a G4 that I use as a media center via frontrow to play my huge collection of MP4 and M4V video files that are local and streamed from the library on my main intel mac. This has been working fine for some time and I haven't had any problems playing files.
    However, when iTunes 9 came out, I ran software update and updated iTunes and Quicktime to 7.6.4, as well as updating the OS to 10.5.8. As soon as I did this, all the MP4 and M4V files that had worked fine up until that point stopped being playable by frontrow/itunes/quicktime. A lot of these are movies that I bought from the iTunes store, and it will not even play those now. It is definitely not a video format problem. When I try to play them in quicktime, I get the error "file is not a video file". This applies to all old files, plus new ones I have attempted to add. Also, frontrow WILL play video files streamed from my main computer, but not local ones (same files). I did the exact same updates on my main mac, and all the files will play perfectly fine on that machine, it is only this one that won't play.
    I have tried everything I can think of, I have reinstalled both apps several times. I have also checked the System/Library/Quicktime components and they are all intact, exactly the same as on my other machine. Now it looks as though my only option is to start again from scratch and reinstall the operating system - a time consuming option as I do not back up this secondary machine..
    Does anyone have any suggestions of what I can do to fix the Quicktime installation? Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thank you

    Ok well if you want to go about it down and dirty you can try this. Take a file that does copy over correctly, for my purposes I had a Rocky and Bullwinkle episode that if I changed the file extension to .m4v it would add correctly through iTunes. From Terminal search /Volumes/youripodname/iPod_Control/Music/ for any file with the m4v extension and take note of them. Now add the "supported" file through iTunes then after it finishes do another search from Terminal and see which file with an m4v extension wasn't there before. Now from Terminal copy the "unsupported" file over to the same location with the same name. Here's what mine looked like cp /Volumes/harddrivename/Video/MUTEMATH.mp4 /Volumes/youripodname/iPod_Control/Music/F12/SJXB.m4v Now in iTunes change the Info for that file with the "Get Info" menu and your set. Mine now plays a video file that it wouldn't let me add through iTunes after the 9.0 update.
    I'm sure there's a better way and when I figure out a quick script to do this by directly modifying the itunes database I'll try and repost a solution.

  • No thumbnail images when viewing pictures folder via desktop & screensaver

    When I go into system preferences and then Desktop & Screensaver I chose the pictures folder. It does not show any thumbnail images of any of the contents of my Pictures Folder, yet clicking on a blank area of space applies a desktop???? I have never seen this before anyone have any ideas?

    There may be some minor issue or glitch in the system; and perhaps even
    starting up in SafeBoot and using Disk Utility's repair disk permissions, then
    quitting the utility, and restarting normally may help repair this situation.
    Some file types, in some cases, may not appear in icon or thumbnail view;
    and there are a few image editor applications whose custom icon thumb-
    nail views actually appear as a generic icon w/o an image; but an original
    import from a camera will have the correct thumbnail captured by Finder
    and/or Preview (or iPhoto) by first-contact with the image from the camera;
    but Photoshop or other third party shareware or freeware may not show one.
    For a normal situation where a thumbnail image icon should be present:
    Open up a finder window and do like this: from Finder=View=Show View Options
    =Show Icon Preview. That will give you a thumbnail view of whatever document it is.
    You can select to do this setting for all windows
    Apparently your situation is different in that there may be a permissions or other
    issue going on in the system; so try routine maintenance and also see if the images
    are in the correct location for the system to see them. If the system is really messed
    you may have to consider repairing it; try booting from the native disk utility in OS X
    boot/installer disc, repair disk and repair disk permissions; then reboot using Startup
    Disk in the boot disc's utilities menu (in installer menubar) and immediately press &
    hold the Shift key on startup to engage SafeBoot; and re-repair disk permissions
    from the System's hard drive located Disk Utility to re-correct these permissions, as
    they will probably not be proper for the fully updated system running in the computer.
    Then restart normally.
    There may be file damage, so if that is discovered through additional troubleshooting,
    you may have to consider a new system folder, as in "Archive & Install" then update.
    Repair disk permissions between all update & install steps of system and other software.
    If you have and use a utility interface tool such as OnyX (runs free, is donationware) from
    Titanium Software, download from their site; and run all the checkbox items in Automation,
    and then restart the computer - or set its preferences to do that also, automatically - this
    may help general system health. It may not be able to fix something deeper in the system;
    but a third party disk utility such as DiskWarrior or Drive Genius2 may help in other matters.
    In some cases, depending on what images are involved and where they came from, be
    they a chosen set of personal images you've directed the system to use as background
    desktop images in Finder, or a set of Apple-supplied images, the results can be different.
    I use a folder of camera created scenics as desktop backgrounds and use ToyViewer to
    edit and rotate at a most basic level, since I try to make photos in the camera and not edit.
    Sometimes, these will have generic non-image icons and not thumbnails; there is a way
    to work around the issue should a whole folder of them go bad or change over w/o notice.
    Hopefully someone who has fixed this problem will write a follow up; it is getting late in my
    timezone and I am running on empty per this topic, among others... You may resort to an
    Apple help or Apple Support documents search for a matching topic. That's a huge library.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • ITunes won't play audio with mp4 or mov video

    I have wasted many frustrating hours now trying to get iTunes to play mp4 and mov videos but can't get any sound. A few months back it was working fine. Tried ALL the suggested fixes like uninstalling, updating and checking all the MIME/File boxes. When I went back to QT 7.5 and played the files independently of iTunes everything was fine. Quicktime  7.6, 7.67 & 7.7.1 do not play the audio independently or under iTunes and of course iTunes won't play video with QT less than 7.7.1. The same mp4 videos uploaded to my iPOD work fine. I currently have iTunes 10.5.3.3 installed on a Windows XP SP3 on an e-machines pc. Ideas please!!

    I got this problem as well. Seems as soon as I moved to version 7.6 it stopped playing my video audio. My music plays fine, but my video audio is non-existant. It's not the file itself because I can play off my iPod (though not off my iPod through iTunes) just fine. I've done all the suggestions above and NOTHING has worked. Is there anything else we can find???
