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 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

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!!

Video file size in Zen Moz

I recently bought a Zen Mozaic and I've stored some avi movies in it. As avi videos can take many disc space ( up to 700 MB) I tried to shrink the video size (by lowering the resolution). Although in my computer, these files have shrunken in size, when I converted them to my Zen, they still take as many disc space as the original files.
Is there any way I can shrink avi video file size in my Zen Mozaic?

Try changing the files to wmv format , it worked for me .....

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 to save some pictures from iPhoto to a SDHC photo card for a digital frame and was wondering if there is a way to shrink or compress file size for each picture as I have already cropped the pictures? Thank you

Yes, you do this when you export the images from the Library.
File -> Export
in the Size section, you don't need images larger than the frame size, so you can specify that and in the Jpeg Quality you can select the amount of compression used.
This User Tip

has details of the options in the Export dialogue.

Iphone video file compatibility checker?

I have a bunch of video files in mp4 and m4v in a folder. Some copy to my iphone when added to my itunes library, others don't with the error FILE CAN NOT BE PLAYED ON THIS IPHONE. Usually the format for non compatible iphone video files was created for appletv device , but its hard to tell which files will play on the iphone, quick and easily. I was wondering if there was a simple iphone video compatibility checker. Like looking at video files listed in a folder directory, where it displays whether or not a video file is iphone compatible?
If no such file checker exists, it sure would be nice to have such a file checker to look at a batch or folder of files at one time, and easily check iphone compatibility. (hint hint programmers)

It appears to me that the only reason cpu speed, would impact play back is that iTunes has designed this effect into the files.
No, they didn't, at least not as part of some sort of deliberate effort to get you to upgrade. Videos and movies from the iTunes Store are encoded with the new H.264 codec. This codec can yield much better quality at a lower file size than can other video codecs such as the most common MPEG-2, but decoding H.264 takes more processing power. Hence the minimum CPU requirement; it just takes that fast a system to decode the content smoothly. In some cases with a system with close specs, you may be able to get adequate playback if all other applications and processes are shut down (as with iTunes vs. QuickTime; iTunes takes up a bit more of the processor for it's other functions), but it's always going to be iffy if you're right at the edge of the system requirements.
You're going to see this sort of thing on any computer system; better quality video requires higher-power systems, no matter what platform you're running on (Windows Media Player recommends 1.5Ghz).

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.

Can I reduce video file size on iPad?

Is there an iOS app - iMovie for instance - that will allow me to reduce video file size on my iPad, without having to use a computer?

There are various Apps in the App Store that will compress a video file, try search on Video Slimmer or Video Compression. Another option is to use a different App for recording the video in the first place; I use MoviePro quite extensively, it allows 5 different presets for resolution, bit rate etc. for recording video.

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.
