Mp4 downloading

Everytime I try to download a mp4 vid that I bought, I get an error that states:Cannot play movie The server is not correctly configured.
What/how can I do to fix this? I am using a iPhone 4.0.2 version. Thanks

Have you tried downloading the video from the iTunes store with iTunes on your computer?

HT2729 How do i covert my mp4 download to mp3 files

I have just downloaded severaal tracks from iTunes, but not sure if you can select different formats? Anyway I downloaded mp4 tracks but wwant to burn a CD for my car so need to convert to mp3. Anyway to do this without purchasing software??
Thanks

Clare,
You can use iTunes to convert the file to MP3:
iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format
For future reference, rather than buying songs in the wrong format and converting them, you will find it easier to buy songs in MP3 in the first place, at an online retailer such as Amazon MP3.

Mp4 downloaded from facebook wont work in imovie 08

I recently learned how to download videos off of facebook and save it onto my hardrive, and now I am trying to import them to be cut on IMovie, but only the audio will load. Any help? I am desperate, been trying to figure it out for hours. Thanks!

It's hard sometimes to guess what's happened. But there is a workaround that might get that audio clip working. Most often converting it to an 16bit AIFF file (uncompressed) will be enough to allow iMovie to play it back. Even in a large project like they one you are making. Do you know what file format it is in now?

All Downloads named "download", iTunes keeps "resettiing-first run" and more...

     I have just copied the original text sent to Apple Support, hoping someone has had the same problems so I can compare results. Currently their is not a fix for any of my problems. I will have to manually rename, move, and add into my library each file. I will have to change preferences to what I prefer whenever they reset to defaults. All of this is very time-consuming and annoying... Please add some comments, even if you have the same problems without any "fixes" either.
Thank you,
GentleMon Todd.
...original message...
I have THREE(3) issues that are a serious problem.
Problem #1:
     The iTunes program itself keeps "resetting" itself, as if I just installed it for the first time. All my preferences reset to the defaults and the "take a tour" separate window-or-program pops up as well. I do not use a the default directory for my library and several other issues as well. I have had files disappear and reappear in a random fashion. Not mention that having to change all the preferences, and reset my AppleID account and password goes beyond annoying. Good thing this software is free...
    This can happen as much as 3 times in a day, but in the last 4 months alone, I have had to change everything at least 13 (thirteen) times. Oh yeah, just happen today, Friday, after it happen on Wednesday.
     This problems started back around "9.x" versions and has continued throughout current versions "10.x" as well. You got e-mails then, and now again.... this problem alone is enough to cause complete chaos.
Problem #2: all files are named "download"
     All podcast episodes are called "download", music and music videos are called "download". For example; download.mp4, download.m4v, download.mp3, etc. As well as not in the proper directory, see problem # 3.
Problem #3:
     All of the podcasts downloads, regardless of the podcast, is being dumped in the "library-downloads" directory. Within that particular directory I will have another directory for each single episode of each podcast downloaded. The episodes should be put in the particular PODCAST DIRECTORY not as a new directory for each episode. Not mention music goes to the music directory.
     The music downloads are doing the same thing, except for the directory has "_tmp" added to after the name of the song. within that directory is the file finally.
For example, the free video of the week download looks like this:
...iTunes Library...
     Downloads
          Don't Sit Down 'Cause I've Moved You.tmp
               download.m4v                (finally, the actually file, not under "music")
please help resolve some of these issues at hand.

Hello there DBarishman,
It sounds like you are unable to update or sync your devices to your computer. Usually this indicates thtat we need to troubleshoot the USB connection to the computer. I recommend the troubleshooting from this article named:
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694#error50
Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. An incorrectly set default packet size can cause this error. Contact the software manufacturer that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows:How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

FIXED: How Can I Import .MP4 Video? Used to work...

EDIT: Okay, figured it out! Had to run Adobe updater, now I can import .mp4s from YouTube! wooot.
Hi, I was working on some mashups using videos I downloaded from YouTube (.mp4 format) in premiere and everything was going good, but had to reinstall my operating system for other reasons. I re-installed Premiere Pro CS4 too but when I opened up the project I was previously working on, it said I could not re-link to the .mp4 files. It said they were not supported and were different than the ones in the project - they are not.
I noticed that I could no longer properly import .MP4s downloaded from YouTube, only the audio track is imported.
I have had success converting the .mp4s to .movs using QuickTime pro, those .movs work, but if possible I'd like to do away with this step.
Any help is appreciated.
I remember back in the day using Premiere 5.0 in 2003 I could import any format I wanted to do mashups, ahh those were the good old days
Thanks in advanced for any help

The program I use to make a full system backup image is mentioned here http://www.pacifier.com/~jtsmith/ADOBE.HTM#SmartOwn

MAc won't save youtube video anymore. What am I doing wrong?

I was trying to save a video from youtube as I did a 1000 times before. Now when I try, every program/site I use (KeepVid for instance), will turn the .mp4 video file in a .txt file. Basically the file name will be something like video.mp4.txt
I tried to change the file ext but it doesn't work... What did I do wrong? Any idea?
Thanks

I was trying to save a video from youtube as I did a 1000 times before. Now when I try, every program/site I use (KeepVid for instance), will turn the .mp4 video file in a .txt file.
Not knowing what "as I did a 1000 times before" means, I cannot comment as to what you may be "doing wrong." However, when I went to the KeepVid site I managed to download two files "as I normally do" and both (one YouTube FLV and one KeepVid MP4) downloaded using Safari as playable movie files under Snow Leopard.

Need help with HTML5 code

What is wrong with this code? It does not play. It should play in Windows-7 and XP with IE8.
Also, on the screen there is a large white area where the <video> code is. Why?
How do I get rid of it?
Thanks.

Data load? Did it pass a syntax check?
Anyway, maybe this will help:

 update_date TYPE sy-datum,
 number_of_days_closed(4) TYPE c,
 alert_close_flag(1) TYPE c,
 result LIKE number_of_days_closed.
IF alert_close_flag EQ 'Y'.
number_of_days_closed = update_date - create_date .
ELSE.
CLEAR number_of_days_closed.
ENDIF.
result = number_of_days_closed.

Easy setup 1280x720

Hi!
I just got a new camera, with wich i record in 1280x720, 4MBps, 25p.
Is this HD?
And, more important, what "easy setup" should i choose for my final cut pro sequence, in order to make the importation on my time line easy and quick, and render the effects with efficiency as well...?
Thanks!!!
Oh, and if you know, what export format do you recommand for a big screen public projection?
Thanks in advance!!!
Marinette

I think you may want to rethink this. Normally, you want to capture in the highest quality possible, edit in as lossless a format as possible, and then deliver the presentation version in the format required for projection.
This is is even more important when

But this is all up to you.
If you are sticking with MP4, download (free) MPEG Streamclip from
http://www.squared5.com
and convert your source files to ProRes LT. Your files sizes will increase many times over during the conversion, as the video will be "unpacked" from the highly compressed MP4 format into a format suitable for editing.

Burning films to use in a DVD player

Hi,
I have bought several films & TV programes from iTunes for my ATV.
Thay also show up on iTunes.
Can I burn the MP4 download to a DVD to watch a DVD player.
Regards,
Jeff

Can I burn the MP4 download to a DVD to watch a DVD player.
No. iTunes can't create video DVDs, and backup DVDs aren't playable outside of a computer. If the files don't contain DRM, you might be able to burn them elsewhere.

Is there a version of iMovie that will import ProRes files?

Is there a version of iMovie that will import ProRes files?
Final Cut Pro does, but does iMovie HD? And which version?

Luca, I'm not sure acceptable life in iMovie at 60p is possible, and not sure about YouTube at this point either.
(I have a 2.66GHz Core i5 iMac with 8GB ram running Snow Leopard OSX 10.6.8)
My first export using QT x264 1080 59.94, auto key, +CABAC, crashed iMovie, but later times worked ok.
The non-QT export 1080 HD computer - puts out a 29.97 fps movie with lots of motion artifacts.
I checked plist - videoframerate and newProjectFrameRate were 30, so changed to 60 and redid the import, title, finalize, exports, and share to YouTube.
The non-QT export 1080 HD computer - still put out 29.97 fps.
QT Export x264 1080 framerate 59.94 fixed, auto key, +CABAC put out a 43 Mpbs 59.94 H.264 QuickTime movie which occasionally stutters, but it appears to have the same quality as the original 1080p60 footage.
Moving to a 1080p60 camera has been frought with disappointments. The latest VLC can play my raw video but it often stutters (from no times to lots of times).
Repackaging as MP4 using ffmpeg -i in.MTS -vcodec copy -acodec copy out.mp4 doesn't get rid of the stuttering.
Toast Video Player also has occassional stutters.
Converting using Handbrake does not eliminate the occasional stutter.
QT playing the prores transcoded source footage claims 255 Mbps data rate 59.94 fps, and it also stutters sometimes, sometimes not.
The Share... YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mByr3Y3wfz4 which appears to only be 30 fps (the mp4 download is 30p).
The 60pQT export uploaded is at: http://youtu.be/Hv1TgcoaxfM also downloads as a 30p MP4 so I have no idea what is going on.
"(i)Life" in 60p seems a bit complicated.

If you are trying to dump the audio from a youtube video with ffmpeg, and encode it to .mp3, troubleshoot what isn't working the way you wish.
Start by seeing if youtube-dl is working.
You can get the formats the video is available in with:
youtube-dl -F http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=123456789
You can usually get audio only using
youtube-dl -f 140 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=123456789
That will be .aac or .m4a audio
You can leave it like that or to reencode to .mp3
Check if ffmpeg is working.
ffmpeg -i file.m4a -c:a libmp3lame -b:a 128k Oufile.mp3
Or if you have a video file that you want to dump the audio from into .mp3
ffmpeg -i file.mp4 -vn -c:a libmp3lame -b:a 128k Outfile.mp3
If you get an error about lame then check if lame is installed
pacman -Ss lame
Post if ffmpeg works ok for you.

i remember reading a paragraph in playing sounds tutorial which says mp3 files are not yet supported!Make me aware if im wrong:)

Anyone know how to convert .FLV to iMovie or FinalCut Pro?

I downloaded a video with file extension .FLV
I wanted to convert this to either .MOV or .MP4
Know any apps I can use to do this? I need the video inserted in a Keynote file.
Thanks!

Give the free tool Mpeg Streamclip a try.
maybe, you have to install the free Quicktime-plugin from www.perian.org too ...- (relaunch Mac after install).
Unfortunately, inside that .flv could be any 'crude' mixture of codecs, so there's no guarantee it'll work. if the .flv is coming from YouTube - look, if site offers a .mp4 download.
and Welcome, Lira Luis, to the  boards ...
