Need help on adding video files to library

I recently converted some of my movies to mp4. I used 2 different converter apps. When I click add file to library it doesnt show up in the library. Also when I update, it doesn't get sent to the ipod. Now I have done it before. I have a couple movies on my ipod. Now it's not working. Is there a patch or is it just the update that prevents this?

I am having the same problem, I have converted tons of videos, am able to watch them all on my computer, I put them all in one folder and add the folder to the library and only about half of them actually get added to iTunes, I've tried manually adding each file and it just doesn't do anything. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Trouble adding video files to library

I am unable to add most video files to my video library, the only files i have been able to add so far are quicktime files, also, when i try to open other video files into quicktime it says:
Error -2048: The file is not a movie file
Im not sure if this has anything to do with adding files to itunes library, just thought id mention it. I've tried to convert some of these files to quicktime with Xilisoft Video Converter 3 but when i do it, it says that it failed. If anyone knows of any good reliable video converters (if this would solve my problem) that would be cool. Also, this doesnt have anything to so with my problem, but i cant find any movies or tv shows in my Itunes store, and yes i do have the latest itunes version: 7, i can buy games, music videos, and pixar short films but i cannot find tv shows or movies.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, the videos which connot be moved into iTunes cannot be played using iTunes. Any way to fix this problem?

Need help shrinking iPhone video file sizes.

Thanks in advance, folks!
I just recently bought an iPhone 4 and I love it. The only is, despite the phone recording in HD, the file sizes are huge. Even using the SD vga camera in the front, 2 and a half minutes equals 45MB.
Is there anything I can do in iTunes, or the phone itself to change the quality and reduce the file size? If not, is there a program I can use to do this?
I have searched all over the internet and haven't found any info. I really hope you guys can help me out. Again, thanks!

Pls change the file extension to the format in which the file was recorded for eg : .mp4, .3gp, .avi. Check first in which format ur phone records a video file and apply a similar extension do dat fill, revert if any query.

Need help with adding video to itunes

i have an ipad 1 that i put 2 videos on to teach CPR. got a new ipad. not only will i tunes not transfer the video it will not let me add it to the library to put it onto the new ipad. and help would be appreciated

Is iTunes crashing when you try to add video or is it just not adding them? If it's crashing I found that selecting the video in a folder and then right clicking (PC) then selecting Open With, iTunes, then iTunes will start to play the video but also adds it to the Movies section. I've been having problems with iTunes crashing and found this to be the easiest way around it, obviously not the best choice if you have lots of videos.

Need Help with SWF Video Files

Hello there. I'm experiencing a new problem with Presenter.
I'm using WinXP, PowerPoint 2002 SP3, and the latest version of
Presenter. I have a presentation that contains many video clips.
I've converted them all to SWF files and have inserted them on each
slide via the Slide Properties dialog box, and inserted
corresponding "silences". However, when I publish my presentation
locally, instead of showing the SWF video in the top right corner
of the screen as it is supposed to do, I get a mirror image of the
current slide on that small upper right window. It is like the
presentation is embedding a copy of the slide where the video is
supposed to be. This never used to happen, so I'm baffled. Any
thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You probably will be able to play most of those problem files by using this freeware: VLC
If you want more information you would likely get more responses by posting in the Quicktime for MacOS forum:

Need help in converting video files for Zen Micr

I bought my Zen Micro M to the HQ for servicing and I learnt that there's actually a video converter when we install the creative media source into our PC. Now my problem is that I did not see any converter except the audio converter. What should I do? Or do I have to download a converter from the net? If so, can someone be kind enough to tell me where should I download the converter from? I'm a complete IT idiot -_-
Thanks in advance!

Hey I've solved the problem myself.. Perhaps you can try to reinstall the software again.. That's what I did and I saw a Media Toolbox with video converter inside. Hope that helps!!

I need a help in reading video file of 80MB into ...

Hello,
I need a help in reading video file of 80MB into a vector storing ByteArrays in it.Please help me soon.
Thank You

Hello,
I was able to solve my problem by thinking & my code goes as follows.I am trying to read a video file in my program.
public Vector getFileMediaContent(RandomAccessFile fileObj){
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
System.out.println ("Free memory : inside Boolean Type Panel" + runtime.freeMemory() );
dataContent.removeAllElements();
System.out.println("dataContent :"+dataContent.size());
try{
int size=(int)fileObj.length();
if(size<2000000){
byte[] data = new byte[size];
fileObj.read(data);
dataContent.addElement(data);
data=null;
System.gc();
else{
int fixedsize=2000000;
int startindex=0;
int read=0;
int remaining=0;
while(read!=-1){
byte[] data=new byte[fixedsize];
read=fileObj.read(data,0,data.length);
dataContent.addElement(data);
startindex=startindex+data.length;
remaining=size-startindex;
fileObj.seek(startindex);
data=null;
System.gc();
if(remaining>0 && remaining<2000000){
byte[] data1=new byte[remaining];
read=fileObj.read(data1,0,data1.length);
dataContent.addElement(data1);
data1=null;
System.gc();
System.out.println("outside while");
System.out.println("dataContent 1 :"+dataContent.size());
System.out.println ("Free memory : inside Boolean Type Panel" + runtime.freeMemory() );
fileObj = null;
System.gc();
}catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
return dataContent;
Now I am not facing the problem of IndexOut of Bounds Exception But I am getting Out of Memory Error.
Can You suggest me to come out of this,.
As I know I have two solutions.
1.Make the objects Null which is using more space & call System.gc();
2.Increase the Virtual Memory of my System.
Any solutions other than this?
And How to Increase the Virtual Memory?Please do reply.
ThankYou

I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

You mean an image such as a scanned document?
If that is the case, the file doesn't contain any text for Reader Out Loud to read. In order to fix that, you would need an application such as Adobe Acrobat that does Optical Character Recognition to convert the images to actual text.
You can also try to export the file as a Word document or something else using ExportPDF which I believe offers OCR and is cheaper than Acrobat.

Need help in laoding flat file data, which has \r at the end of a string

Have you looked into the sed linux command? here are some details:
When working with txt files or with the shell in general it is sometimes necessary to replace certain chars in existing files. In that cases sed can come in handy:
1 sed -i 's/foo/bar/g' FILENAME
The -i option makes sure that the changes are saved in the new file – in case you are not sure that sed will work as you expect it you should use it without the option but provide an output filename. The s is for search, the foo is the pattern you are searching the file for, bar is the replacement string and the g flag makes sure that all hits on each line are replaced, not just the first one.
If you have to replace special characters like a dot or a comma, they have to be entered with a backslash to make clear that you mean the chars, not some control command:
1 sed -i 's/./,/g' *txt
Sed should be available on every standard installation of any distribution. At lesat on Fedora it is even required by core system parts like udev.
If this helps, mark as correct or helpful.

Can't drag video files into library - Please help!

Just got my iPod 30G video, and while I can drag mp3 files into the Library without any problems, when I try to do the same for video files (.avi and .wmv files), nothing happens. I don't get any error messages, but the files just don't appear in the Library. What am I doing wrong?

You must convert the videos to MP4. To do this, you must download a video converter. I got mine from Videora. Just google that name and download their full program. You will then need to convert the videos with the program and drag them to iTunes.

I need to get some video files onto my iphone from a computer that does not have my itunes library on it

Currently I am away from home, and using a computer that does not have my main itunes library on it. I do, however, have some video files on this computer that I would like to place onto my phone for the drive home tomorrow. Unfortunately, It seems there is no way to do this without completely wiping my iPhone and replacing it with this computers empty library, as the "manage content manually" feature apparently requires me to do this. Is there any way to just add some mp4s to my iphone without erasing all of its data?.

What kind of computer?
On a Windows PC plugging in your phone will invoke the Autoplay dialog which also gives some options
But only if iTunes is installed on the computer and is paired as a trusted device. Which the OP does not want to do.
