Mp4 video sharing

I hope this in the correct area. Its actually kinda using itunes on both PC and mac
I have a massive itunes collection on a G4 tower running 10.4.8 with a lot of movies saved as .mp4 formate.
I can view them without a problem on my macbookpro using itunes sharing over wireless.
However when trying to view them on a windows laptop it doesn't work. It simply doesn't play. The windows laptop can play the video if they are in its itunes collection. However just not streaming. It can however stream .m4v videos (both brought from the itunes store, and those from eyetv)
I can also stream video (mp4) from the PC's itunes to the mac
I also have another friend who has this problem
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I am having the same problem (and have posted separately)
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=851963
It's interesting that it works from the PC to the Mac, but not from the Mac to the PC. I have a windows laptop and PC and the streaming doesn't work from either end. I've tried file formats of .mp4 .m4v and .mov but none of them work. The .mov file was encoded specifically for streaming, but still no joy.
Each machine will play the files which are stored locally, but they will not stream over the network. If anyone has an answer I'd be most grateful.

I made an iMovie with mp4 video & shared to iDVD --

I created an iMovie using mp4 video, then shared it to a iDVD to burn it. When I tried to burn it, I got an "error in movie encoding". How can I fix this and make it work? thanks.

Shared photostream mp4 video sharing problem

Is anybody able to add an mp4 video to a shared photostream using the latest icloud control panel for the PC (3.0). Apple says mp4 files are compatible but they are filtered out of the results when I browse to the folder with them. The only ones I can add that I've found are .mov.

OK, I figured it out. There appears to be a bug with icloud control panel 3.0 that doesn't allow you to do step 4, bullet point 2 for mp4 videos; however, apple gives you an option to do step 4, bullet point one instead:
On a Windows computer
Select Photo Stream under Favorites in a folder window of File Explorer (Windows 8) or Windows Explorer (Windows 7).
Double-click the shared stream you want to add photos or videos to.
Click "Add photos or videos” in the toolbar.
In the dialog that appears, do either of the following:
Drag photos or videos to the dialog from another window.
Click “Choose photos or videos.”
Click Done.

Options for iTunes library - quickly growing with mp4 videos

Hello all,
Here is my dilemma. I have a large library of MP4 videos (movies) in my iTunes library, which is growing daily. These are not iTunes purchases. I plan to unload these files to an external HDD. Home Sharing is the main reason why I use iTunes for my Movie library to begin with.
Here is my dilemma. I cannot, to my knowledge, run a partially referenced iTunes library- where Music is automatically copied to the iTunes Media folder, but Videos are not (but rather referenced on the external hard drive).
1) Is there any way around this besides unchecking "automatically copy to iTunes folder" everytime I add a Video to my iTunes Library
2) Would I be better off creating two seperate iTunes libraries? One for the referenced video files on the EHD and one for my music, which I want to remain on my internal drive.
3) Any other plausible solutions?
I hope I'm being clear. Just looking for the best plan of action. Thanks in advance

1) Is there any way around this besides unchecking "automatically copy to iTunes folder" everytime I add a Video to my iTunes Library
No, not automatically, not with how iTunes presently works.
2) Would I be better off creating two seperate iTunes libraries? One for the referenced video files on the EHD and one for my music, which I want to remain on my internal drive.
No. I used to think it would but at least with my old iTunes version any libraries made in my user account share the same single user preferences. Unless you disable the "automatically copy to" feature I am pretty sure either library will put the items in the same media folder because they both use the one set of preferences settings. You can check this by making a second test library but don't add anything to it. Then check advanced preferences from yur main library and this test library and see if they point to the same media folder.
3) Any other plausible solutions?
Do it the way Michael Allbritton outlines, or leave it set to organize automatically but put the movies on the external drive, then add them back while holding down the option key. This overrides the copy-to function.
Note, splitting media storage this way will work but has disadvantages. If links break for any reason, iTunes will not automatically search for ones that are not part of its media folder organization. If you need to move files to a different drive in the future it will be somewhat tricky as you are likely to end up with a lot of broken links. There may be ways to avoid this but it won't be automatic.

Looking for video sharing app to create .mov

Hello,
I hope I am in the right place and apologize if I am not.
I am looking for a foundation to build a video sharing application for Golfswing.com.
We need to allow our visitors to upload video of their swings (these clips are >3 second) in any video format then convert to quicktime for playback.
Why Quicktime you ask? Because Quicktime is the only player that allows frame by frame playback of the golfers swing. Like this,
http://www.golfswing.com/proswings/daly.htm
Any ideas, suggestions, directions, comments, endorsements are greatly appreciated.

ffmpeg supports outputting .mov files. Not sure where you heard otherwise.
Sorry to flood this thread with this but FYI:
executing #ffmpeg -formats in terminal
outputs this (not support for mov file format):

Gstreamer fails to play *some* .mp4 videos

Gstreamer is no longer able to play *some* .mp4 videos. Just until recently
(possibly update) that worked fine for me. I will appretiate any help with resolving this problem.
Videos concerning were downloaded from Youtube via the Firefox DownloadHelper,
so I suspect some of them to use some non-standard format feature. Also
ffmpeg-ing videos to other or same format works and converted videos can be
played by Gstreamer without problems.
This is the only download video I was able to confirm Gstreamer can still play:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0UbcngpDkk
It fails for almost every other, e.g.:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0ffIJ7ZO4U

Previewing/Playing HD SHQ MP4 video in Timeline is choppy and static.

Previewing and playing back my HD SHQ MP4 video from my Sony Xacti HD video camera in the Timeline is choppy. I have to export to QT in order for me to see the video smoothly.
I have crammed the Power Mac full of RAM (8GB) and have four external FW800 drives, and have set all the system settings to playback at full quality, but it still is choppy. Is there anything I can do? Or is this HD video just too much for even this machine?
Thanks for any help.

It doesn't matter how fast your hardware configuration is.
mp4/h.264 is not an editing codec, but a delivery codec.
Look at your easy set ups. There are none for mp4/h.264.
Both formats are computational intensive and to decode them for editing is nearly impossible.
convert to DVCProHD or pro res or AIC. Those are editing formats.

My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate.

My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate. When I "Preview In Browser" through Edge it plays (I have created a shape and used the "play video full screen" snippet) in full screen mode just fine. When I "Preview Site In Browser" through Muse and click on the shape to PLAY VIDEO FULL SCREEN, it does nothing. I am new to both programs and can't figure out why it will work out of the preview window in Edge and won't work when I publish to Muse. Does anybody have an answer or a work-around for me?

Autoplay is not universally supported by all devices. Many smatphone data plans can't handle the burden of preloaded and auto playing media. There's nothing you can do to change this b/c mobile devices simply ignore the parameter.   All that said, why are you still using player plugins? You don't need them with HTML5 video.

How do I get an MP4 video file to autoplay instead of download

I am using Dreamweaver CS5.5. I am trying to embed an .mp4 video on my website to autoplay. When I take it to "Live View" the file plays - if I use the "Play" function in Properties I get the following message - "Unable to find the plugin that handles this media type. Dreamweaver looks in both the "Configurations/Plugins" folder, and the plugins folder for each of your selected browsers." When I publish the page and go to my website to view, the video does not play - instead, the file downloads to my computer. What can I do to remedy this issue?

How can I make iDVD with a H264(.mp4) video file???

I've got two files which is in .mp4 format, I tried to edited it in iMOVIES but it came up with only audio no video. So then I tried to put that two .mp4 video directly into iDVD, but it also didn't work. There is no problem when I try to view .mp4 file in quicktime player.
So if I have to changed the format to .avi , which software would be best?? I want to keep the quality of the original files but I have heard so many times that after changing the file format, the quality may not be the same as before.
Please, masters, help............

OK, here are the results of my experimenting:
ffmpegX wasn't happy making the conversion and froze. I didn't try 'playing' with it to make it work. I guess I can't recommend this approached for you.
I DID have success creating a DVD from your file using Roxio's Toast Titanium 7 (you must have version 7 to do this).
It was a slow process - your 0:03:46 clip required abount an hour on my 1.33 G4 PowerBook. The process might have been slightly slowed because in addition from going from MPG-4 to MPG-2 (and converting the audio), it was also converting from PAL to NTSC (the source video is 25 fps).
In my opinion, the results looked pretty poor when viewed on a TV. About what I'd expect starting with a small (662x384 pixel), highly compressed MPG-4 image file.
Stick to viewing them on your computer with the VLC Media Player. You'll be a lot happier.

Encoding error when burning mp4 videos to dvd-rw using idvd

hi all, i'm trying to burn mp4 videos on a blank dvd. i used the magicdvd option in idvd 08 but the error message of "encoding error" had appeared before it burned the videos to the dvd. could you please let me know if mp4 is not supported by idvd? i heard i must convert mp4 to mpeg-2 in order to watch it with regular dvd player, can i do that with mpeg streamclip? is mpeg-2 supported by idvd? thanks!

Hello Alarkin,
is there a free alternative to toast?
Yes, it's Disk Utility - just follow this procedure:
1. create the disk image in iDVD
2. double-click the resulting .img file to "mount" it. Next launch DVD Player to view your DVD .... if everything is fine, close DVD Player and eject the virtual disk.
3. Open Disk Utility and drag the disk image into the left hand pane, then hit burn.
Note: Set the burn speed to 2x or even 1x. Most burn errors are the result of high burn speeds. Also use only high quality DVD-R media (e.g. Verbatim)
hope this helps
