Only Audio options under Media Kind for Video files

I am trying to assign a number of video files to media type "Music Video". However, when I Get Info for them, select Option and click on the Media Kind drop down, I only have audio options (Music, Podcast, iTunesU, Audiobook, Voice Memo) and not video options. The videos play alright in iTunes and as far as I can tell the file type and settings are the same as files that do have the video options. Does anyone know how to assign these files?

the only way i can think of is to set in the video options, the tv output to ask i think it is so when you select a video to play it comes up and asks if you want to play through tv and if you say yes it doesnt play it on thew ipod because it thinks you are watching it on a tv so you can hear it but not see it. i think this should work

Add Metadata, Options to Open in Adobe Media Encoder for Video Files

I was surprised to discover that some basic information about video files is not shown. For example, the duration of a QuickTime video is not shown.
Also, there is no option to open an MOV file in Adobe Media Encoder.
It would be nice to have this basic support for video.

Flash Media Encoder for video files streaming.

Is there a free Encoder to play video files instead of Live video feed?
Thank you.

Thanks - I know you can output; but want to use a file for input. It's
like you want to pre-record and play back at the appropriate time as if it is
live. Thanks.

Make Firefox Open Windows Media Player for Video Files

I need to make Firefox open the actual Windows Media Player application (not a plugin, the actual app window) when clicking on video links, e.g., WMV. These file types are already associated in Windows Explorer with WMPlayer, but this has no effect on Firefox.
What happens right now is that after clicking a video, I get a black screen with the yellow VLC Player icon (VideoLAN VLC is installed on my PC) in the center and no video. I do NOT want to launch VLC or any internal plugins.

You can change what type of application opens for each kind of type in Firefox's options.

No Media Player for Videos in N8 ?

Please someone answer me. Is there no video media player for N8?
I observe that there is no media player for videos and if I have to play video, I will do so by playing the video file one by one. Is there not a way there can be video media palyer to play all the video collections in the phone.

There is a video player. Menu>videos
What exactly are you trying to do?
The video player only plays one video at a time. That's just the way it is. It's just one of those i have learnt to live with. It's irritating, I understand but we'll just have to wait and see if the developers fix it with upcoming updates
Show your appreciation. Hit that kudos button real hard

Why are there only 10 options under "Set Metadata Format"?

Why are there only 10 options under "Set Metadata Format"?
These are:

Filename
Author

Comments
Keywords
Date/Time
Aperture
Shutter Speed
Has anyone found a way to to change this?

Hi.
Can you find the "Comments" field into the Metadata? Because I don't find it and when I write something in the box Aperture tells me that the box is "unlink" from the metadata...
How can I add a (free) comment to my photos in a book?
Thank you very much for your reply

Cannot change media kind on videos

iTunes will not let me change the media kind of videos I've imported. I want to change them from movie to tv show as have previously done on a windows version of iTunes, but since moving to mac it is not letting me. Is there any way round this as I would like a tidy library with all my TV shows grouped together.
Thanks

Open iTunes.
Select the file(s) you want to change. You may have to do this one at a time. Press command–i (Info). Go to the Options tab, and change the media type to TV show.
I just tried it on a movie, and it works just fine.

Incorrect and Un-Changeable 'Video Kind' for Videos Purchased From iTMS

Since I can't seem to find any other way to contact Apple except through paid support channels, their suggestion is to post something here. Hopefully this re-wording of other posts I've read will shed more light on the problem.
To Apple:
Some videos purchased from the iTunes music store have an incorrect 'Video Kind' which means they are sorted incorrectly in iTunes using Apple's new interface in version 7.
Old Battlestar Galactica episodes have a 'Video Kind' of 'Movie' instead of 'TV Show', so they don't appear in the iTunes smart category as TV shows. They appear in 'Movies', and they shouldn't.
The field for these files is locked/ghosted/unchangeable, I'm assuming because of ridiculous DRM requirements or an oversight. But you are enforcing rules which cause your program to incorrectly sort files, and not allowing your customers to fix the problem.
I want all my TV shows to list in your 'TV Shows' top category, but I can't change the 'Video Kind' for those files (bought via the iTunes music store). I have expected this problem to work itself out in the last few iTunes updates, but it hasn't yet. And there are many threads about this in your discussion forums.
Please unlock the 'Video Kind' field in iTunes for videos downloaded from the iTunes music store (Prison Break Season 1, Battlestar Galactica, The Office Season 1, Surface, etc), or give us some kind of utility that will allow us to correct the mis-categorization.
Thank you!

I quite agree. I'm not sure how much attention, if any, the iTunes dev. team pay to these groups however. The formal feedback route is via iTunes Feedback, where sadly, I suspect, not much attention is paid either.

Editing 'Media Kind' for more than one song.

Team,
After downloading the newest update, I am no longer permitted to edit the "Media Kind" for more than one item at a time. I need to be able to select an entire album at a time in order to efficiently update my library. I sincerely appreciate your help.

I am having the same issue. The first song and beat markers work great. I add a second song and set beat markers. When I add photos, the appear at random spots with random lengths. I haven't seen a pattern yet. Spent 30 minutes on this topic at my last 1:1 session in the store. No luck figuring it out.
One work-around might be to create one song per project (so beat markers work), then combine the two (or more) projects. But I'm not sure if that's possible or how to do it.
Thanks for any help on this.

Is there an equivalent to Aperture for video files?

Between capturing video on my iPhone as well as my point and shoot camera, I now have hundreds of video files in Aperture side by side with my photos.
I'd really like to move these files out of Aperture, but I wonder if anyone can recommed a good program similar to Aperture, but just for video files? I would want it to have the capability to access files on an external drive, the same way that an Aperture library can be kept on an external drive.
Any suggestions?

Have you considered iTunes as a movie organizer? That is where I am storing my finished movies.
Something mainly for cataloguing video as opposed to an application that is primarily for editing video.
See the iMovie help for organizing video in iMovie:
iMovie '11: Organize your videoiMovie can be used to create movie projects from your raw footage, and to store and organize video into a video library.
I use iMovie to keep all unedited clips tucked away in nested folders in iMovies "Event library; there is simply no use of having thousands of clips that badly need editing bloating up the Aperture library. And I use the "Projects" library to organize my editing projects.
The finished movies are, the ones that I want to use in slideshows and other presentations are stored in my iTunes library.
In iTunes I can tag them with Genres, titles, descriptions and other info.
iTunes lets my browse and earch them in many ways.
iTunes makes them available in the Media browser for other applications. If I need a movie for a slideshow in Aperture I add it from the Media Browser.
iTunes lets me sync the movies to my handheld devices and present them.
For my needs these tho applications together - iMovie for the clips and editing projects, plus iTunes for the finihed movies to shared are just perfect.
In iMovie: events (clips organized in folders by date and location and disk) and projects (organized in folders by topic),
In iTunes: Finished movies to be shared: properly tagged and captioned for searching and sharing
This workflow lets me keep the clips of current editing projects on my mac. Once the movie is finished, I use iMovie to relocate the events with original clips and the project to an external drive and keep only the edited and finished movie in iTunes. But the iMovie event library will till show me, which drives I need to connect to give me easy access to all older events and projects.

What is the best converter for video files in mpeg, avi, wmv, mps, etc for imovie and what type of video files does the iMovie use? I recently purchased a MacBook Pro -version 10.10.1. I make movies, but the iMovie does not support my video files.

Feature request: Slideshow module support for video files

I'm very excited about your MTS support!
Feature request: Slide show module support for video files...
Say you have 10 takes to choose from. Are you able to almost like SLIDESHOW view the 10 clips full screen so you can decide, like a playlist? Or rate them as they play? It would also be great, like SLIDESHOW to be able to export a MP4 with a title, the 10 clips you are working with, and maybe add an end title and a song, just like SLIDESHOW.
I have found editing stills like this in slideshow far faster than in any other editing program.
Basically, I just need a fast means to view or export an MP4 of a set of video clips to review. You are almost there.
great job!!!
Max

I was also disappointed that video is not supported in the slideshow module -I currently have to use another solution when I want stills mixed with videos, would be great to be ablo to keep it all in LR!

New Media Kind = Home Video

iTunes 11 has made changes to the classification of Videos.
A new Media Kind classification includes Home Video. However the smart playlist does not include this as a selectable option. I have submitted feedback to Apple on this point.
Anyone know how this can be worked around?

You could move the video to a different location.
Select the video in Home Videos > Control-click > Get info > Options > Media Kind.
Hope that helps

ITunes cannot change video kind for multiple files

i put many video files to library, and then i want to change each video kind into music video, but unfortunately i can't find an easy to change those files at once.
i have to change them one by one.
my question is: is it possible to change "video kind" of many files at itunes library at once? how?
thx

No, it's not possible to batch-edit the fields on the Video tab. This seems like an outright oversight and will probably be corrected in a future version soon. What's worse, after you take the time to change the Video settings on your files one at a time, iTunes won't bother saving all the changes in the file itself. The Video Kind setting will change to the default "Movie" when the file is removed and added back to the library. For instance, all the "TV Show" files you back up to disk become "Movie" when added back to the library later. You have to edit the Video tab one by one again! It's maddening.
