Mpeg 4 files to another format?

How can i change my music videos bought on itunes to another format so i can watch them on my tv?
thanks

It depends on the videos. Get Info on the video you want to convert. If it's says "protected MPEG-4 video file", the video has copy protection that will prevent it from being converted. The only way to play those on a TV would be to connect your computer or an Apple player (iPhone, iPod, Apple TV) to the TV. If the videos say "purchased MPEG-4 video file" then they're not copy protected and can be converted by any number of applications. What you'd want to choose will depend on what format you need the video converted to.

Problem converting MPEG-1 Files to any format - Wanting to make a DVD

I wish I could use Compressor, but it doesnt work! My home videos are all nice quality, MPEG-1 files, but everytime I try to convert them with compressor, it gives an error, like: "Cant encode audio from MPEG-1 SOuce... bla bla bla"... another one is "Error Opening File"...
And I dont understand, ffmpegX works, so does MPEGStreamclip, but I still wanna give a try to Apple's Compression Software, and see if it can make a nice thing of my videos compression. Im trying to compress 40GB of home videos (like 6 hours of footage) and but them on a DVD or two... I am trying to convert all of them but I am kind of lost....
That is why I wanted to give a try to compressor... but it doesnt open my MPEG-1 files.
I converted my videos... it took me 2 days... all of them to MOV... if I compare each original MPEG-1 FILE... the MOV one has a little little less quality... but the space is 4 times smaller! ... Sorry, I forgot to say, I have exactly 32 horus of video... that means... with those MOV files I converted, I can put all of my videos in two DVDs...
But what happened them? Well... I gotta a surprise... :/... with DVD Studio Pro.. when I add my MOV files... they become 2.5 times bigger!!! :o... so now it is not the two DVDs thing I was dreaming about...
That is why I wish I could give it a try, with Compressor, but it doesnt seem to work...
Please, is there someone that could really helep me out on this? I really appreciate any help....
Thank you so much reading my post,
Gabriel

Hey Gabriel
first and foremost, compressor has a real problem importing a muxed mpeg1 (video and audio joined as one file).
what you first need to do with your files is take them into ffmpegx or mpegstreamclip (like you have already) and do what is called a transcode (that's the official, fancy name).
you would take the file into the above mentioned apps, then transcode them to a Quicktime movie via export.
i would recommend mpegstreamclip for this task, since you do have a lot of footage and this app does offer a batch option (which you can set it and forget it).
once you have transcoded all your files to *.mov's, you can then take those files into compressor!
as you may have noticed, i didnt sepcify a codec to output (like sorenscon 3 or DV for example) since i dont know how much of your storage you can allocate for this task (you will need quite a bit for 32 hours of video).
this is really an easy task, but quite time consuming, so dont think it will go by fast!
i would recommend a DV codec export from mpegstreamclip (via QT movie) with the highest possible quality and uncompressed audio.
please advise

Convert MPEG 4 file into different format

I have a TrekStore Movie Station which only supports formats like DVD (IFO,VOB), VCD (MPGEG1), SVDC/KVCD (MPEG2), DivX 3, DivX5, XviD. In Quick Time Pro Help it says I can convert an save movies into different formats, I just can't find how I can do it.

QT Pro does not "do" multiplexed compression formats. For that you would need an external, third-party, MPEG-based application. iDVD, Toast, Visual Hub, iVCD, MPEG2 Works, etc. would work here to create some of these formats. QT Pro, MPEG Streamclip, and GarageBand can all create DivX and/or XviD files if you have the appropriate QT components installed. (Not sure if you can still find DivX 3 but assume free download of DivX 5.1.1, 5.2.1, and/or Xvid are still readily available on the internet.)

Import Atrac files in another format

Can I re-convert dng files to psd files (or another format that can be used in Adobe Touch)?

I am using LR 4.1, CS6, on a PC running Windows 7. Creative Cloud will accept dng's, but Adobe Touch will not. I'd hate to have to re-save lots of photos one at a time. (I'm not generally all that happy with dng format--it makes some files unreadable elsewhere, and any work done on a dng results in its being saved as a psd anyway.)
Thanks for any ideas.
Gail

1. Proprietary formats such as NEF and CR2 are secret.
2. The universal DNG is an open format.
By all means stick to the raw files produced by your camera if you intend to do your editing in the software provided by your camera manufacturer. If you do all your editing in Adobe software DNG, imho is a better workflow choice.
For archiving purposes I would sooner trust Adobe for future support on DNG than individual camera makers who are known to change their raw formats. Also the benefit of embedded data and no sidecar files, plus fast load data (introduced for DNG’s in Lightroom 4) are clear advantages
If you want to use a tablet with Photoshop Touch tools such as layers, selection tools, adjustments, and filters then a PSD exported from DNG in light room will almost certainly produce an optimum sized file. Tiff will also support layers but the file size will usually be much bigger.

Do we have to save CWK files in another format

I'm having to move on from my eMac (OS 10.3.9) which has useful Claris files and applications saved and accessed through Classic.
I understand that the Intel based iMac (my replacement to the existing eMac) does not support Classic. So I am concerned about how to utilise my stored Claris data.
Do I have to save prefered files in any special format so that they will be readable by the Intel ?
And what about the old but very useful applications ?
Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Install SheepShaver onto the Intel Mac as well as a full Mac OS 7.52 through 9.04 system, the Claris application, and the Claris documents. You can then use your old applications and documents as is.

Will you save my file in another format for me?

I will send you the file which is from CS5, and then you save it as CS2, send me it, then I can see it.
Tell me your e-mail or e-mail me so I can see your e-mail. [email protected]
Thanks
BTW it's a small file.

I only heard it in passing while reading some tut a while back.
I've never personally tried it... never had the need or opportunity as we usually upgrade to the new CS tout de suite

IMovie 08 MPEG 2 File Import

Hi,
I have been doing video editing on a PC and now moving to iMac. I use it as a DVR recording TV movies to later watch on DVD. From this forum I know I need to convert the MPEG 2 files to a format acceptable to iMovie. I have installed Streamclip with the QT MPEG 2 plugin and ready to go. There are several options and my guess is I want to use the export to DV or MPEG4 selection. Can someone give me the specific steps I need to take within Streamclip to get my files ready to import into iMovie for editing and DVD burning? Thanks

Can someone give me the specific steps I need to take within Streamclip to get my files ready to import into iMovie for editing and DVD burning?
1) Open MPEG Streamclip
2) Drop or use the "Open Files..." File menu command to navigate to/load your MPEG file(s) for conversion. (NOTE: VOB file sets or multiple MPEG/M2V file segments constituting a single complete video can be loaded all at once if their alpha-numeric names provide proper sequencing.)
3) Select the "Export to DV" File menu option
4) Select you compression type. (DV25 is standard but you can use DVCPRO25 or DVCPRO50 if the larger files are not a problem for storage)
5) Select your standard (NTSC for the US and Canada)
6) Select the aspect ration that matches your MPEG source files (4:3 standard screen or 16:9 widescreen)
7) Other main settings should not normally be needed unless your source files made using non-standard settings
8) You may or may not want to make "adjustments" to brightness, contrast, saturation, and/or volume
9) Preview and when satisfied press the "Make DV" button

Trransfering file in specified format

I'm using WebUtil_File_Transfer.URL_To_Client to transfer a pdf file on the client machine. But I'm not getting exactly what I want. Want I be able to transfer the pdf file in another format, like csv, txt... Would anyone have an idea on how to achieve that?
Thanks

Hello,
What you want is not a transfert method but the ability to open a document in a format then save it in another format. Nothing that can be done by a single Forms or Webutil method.
As far as I know, you need a file converter, that has nothing to do with the Forms product.

MPEG movie files converting to another format for iDVD

Hey,
Friend of mine recorded video of a concert. The files from her memory stick are in MPEG movie format.
I burned them from the memory stick to a disc. Now I'm trying to insert one of these MPEG movie files to a current iDVD dvd project. BUT for some reason or another it is not letting me.
Could someone please let me know how to take a MPEG movie file and insert it into a iDVD project.

Ive not actually tried protected iTunes Store files with this solution so not sure if it works (if not, yes, you would need to burn them to Audio CD and re-impot them unprotected.)
AACs are compatible with the PSP as-is however, it's just the PSP does not like the .m4a file extension. Simply renaming the extension to .mp4 will address this.
On a PC, you can create a batch file on your PSP memory stick with the following command:
rename *.m4a *.mp4
Run this batch file after copying your iTunes AACs to the memory stick and they will work fine.
I'm sure the same can be achieved on a Mac with AppleScript or Automater, I don't have experience with those to achieve the same results though - perhaps someone could create a rename multiple files example?

I have a large PDF that I cannot send via email because of its size, 76 MB. How do I shrink this file or convert it to another format so I can email this, less than 20MB? Thanks for your help

Open the file in Preview and select "Save as..." from the File menu. Select "Reduce File Size" from the Quartz Filter menu and save. The size probably won't be reduced enough, though. You may have to split the file into several parts and mail them separately. Or upload it to a web server and send the link.
