  • When importing from my camera or file in Lightroom 5 my pictures are over-exposed by 1-2 stops, while they are well exposed on the camera-screen. How to get the 'right-exposed pictures on the screen?

    When importing from my camera or file in Lightroom 5 my pictures are over-exposed by 1-2 stops, while they are well exposed on the camera-screen. How to get the 'right-exposed pictures on the screen?

    There is an option in your Lightroom preferences on the General tab, "Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate images". If you have that option checked then Lightroom will import and display both your raw and JPEG files. Are you using active D-lighting on your camera? If you are then you need to turn off that feature.

  • Aperture is Over Exposing All My RAW Files- H E L P

    Whenever I open an existing project I have run into Aperture taking perfectly exposed shots and suddenly after loading they are over exposed to the point they are un-viewable. Theses are images that I have had for some time and this has never happened. Even when I download to my MacBook they are imported first with all the correct detail then once fully loaded they become over exposed. As far as details, all images where shot with a Sony a700, I'm using Aperture 2.1.1 on a MacBook running OS X 10.5.5. I have notice that this only affects my RAW images and not JPG. I recently uploaded the disc for the Apple Pro Training Series Aperture 2. I need help I don't want to ruin any more images. I will not be using Aperture until this problem is resolved. I have put too much time and effort into my remaining images to see all my work go away. Anyone (or anyone at Apple) who can help, it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,

  • Removing color profile (if any) from over-exposed Canon 5D mov file's

    I am working with some footage from a cameraman's Canon 5D, they are in mov format, but I am having a problem when I import them to FCP (they look the same way when I play them in QT too).
    The color saturation is extremely high, and I know it was not filmed that way on set, I want to know if there is some color profile in the mov files that Canon 5D's record and if so how do I remove them?
    Basically everything looks way over-exposed and I know the 5D is not that poor of quality.

    Below is the FCP info from one of the video files:
    It appearently uses the h.264 codec for the video stream.
    I know that the picture was not over saturated during the shoot because we reviewed it then on set, but now it looks different.
    I even put both my arms on my camera guy's shoulder and looked him square in the eyes and told him that "the Canon 5D has a reputation for being over-exposed and over-saturated, I want under-exposed, make sure you pay attention to that and review every shot". (don't worry I was being nice to him, we're friends).
    I should mention one more thing, when I place the video in a sequence on FCP's timeline, sometimes when I apply affects to it and forget to render it, there is a moment when the video looks properly exposed and then goes back to looking over-exposed when I quickly run the scrubber over it and not let FCP a chance to display properly.
    So I know, or at least have reason to believe there is a color profile in there somewhere that is causing it to look over-exposed and over-saturated. I just can't get rid of it.

  • Need to convert over video 100 files to iPod quality files

    i have over 100 .mov files that i need to convert to mp4 in order to play on my Palm Treo 700p...
    each original file is approx 78 to 81 megs... about 39 to 40 minutes of video. i am converting ONE file now and it told me it would take about 1 hour 55 minutes to convert it to the "convert to iPod" preset
    at that rate, it will take forever to convert all these files... is there a faster way? or better settings to use in quicktime?
    they don't have to be extremely high quality, they are lessons for bible classes i am taking, but i'd like the audio to be decent and for the video to be clear and not fuzzy...
    thanks for any help you can provide.

    I have both VisualHub and MPEG Streamclip.
    At the moment, I only use VisualHub to handle a few quirky .mpg files which MPEG Streamclip had problems with (data breaks that aren't fixed) and FLV file conversion (because I don't have the new beta version of S'clip, which supports FLV).
    But as Rick said, MPEG Streamclip works wonders for pretty much everything else. I still would recommend that first before VisualHub.

  • Is there a way to play an mp4 file at the beginning of a published project only when the project is accessed from a specific site?

    Is there a way to play an mp4 file at the beginning of a published project only when the project is accessed from a specific site?
    A little background info. I use Captivate 7 and currently have over 100 projects that I maintain on a quarterly basis. I publish using the SWF format and upload the swf/htm files to a server where they are then accessed from a few locations (within our online documentation, in our software product, on two different websites). Many of the projects are linked so some will be viewed as a series and others viewed as a standalone video. Each video uses the same template and includes an intro and end slide. Now my organization wants to implement a new intro to all videos (those I publish and those from several groups across the organization). My current intros provide overview material for the specific video so the new intro, which is an animation with audio in mp4 format, would need to be placed at the start of each project. The issue is, the intro adds 9 seconds to every video and in many cases doesn’t add any value (say, if a user accesses the video from within our product or views the videos as a series). I’ve talked it over with my boss and we want to try to add the intro only to videos accessed from site X, not any other location. So now to my question. Is there a way to play an external mp4 file (intro) only when the published project is accessed from a specific site, therefore eliminating the need to update each project? Maybe there's a way to add a parameter or variable to the URL or the html code?
    Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Please let me know if you need additional information.

    AimeeLove,
    I have a solution for you.  You may have to modify the code a little bit based on how long the timeline animation is for your clock.  I based mine on 3 seconds to complete a minute hand sweep around the clock.
    Milliseconds for each point on the clock:
    12 = 0
    1 = 250
    2 = 500
    3 = 750
    4 = 1000
    5 = 1250
    6 = 1500
    7 = 1750
    8 = 2000
    9 = 2250
    10 = 2500
    11 = 2750
    In the mouseover section for 12 o' clock, put this code...
    myVar = setInterval(function(){
         var pos = sym.getPosition();
         if (pos > 0 && pos < 50){
              sym.stop(0);
              clearInterval(myVar);
    },10);
    When you point to the time, the setInterval method loops every 100th of a second and checks the current position of the timeline.  When the timeline reaches the range between 0 and 50 milliseconds (almost impossible to hit 1 specific point), the timeline will stop at 0.  Also, the clearInterval will be fired to stop the loop.
    In the mouseout section, put this...
    sym.play();
    clearInterval(myVar);
    It start the clock again, and it also clears the loop in case you mouseout before you reach the range.
    Make sure that myVar is a global variable so you can clear it from the mouseout section.
    Repeat this for each point on the clock.  To avoid potential conflicts, you may want to use my12, my1, my2, etc. instead of myVar.  I put the milliseconds at the top that you would use as the beginning of the range.  50 milliseconds should be enough to catch it.  So, for 5 o' clock, you would make your range between 1250 and 1300.
    Let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks!

  • I want to force iTunes to organize my mp3/mp4 files as I want and show that when I launch iTunes

    I find file management in iTunes to be very unApple like. Periodically I import mp3 or mp4 files that show up under music when I launch iTunes. I would like to name and order them by date and put them in a folder, album, or some collection item to facilitate finding and using them later. Copy and paste does not work,
    drag and drop does not work. If I go to where the items are stored as music files I can achieve a named collection of these files ordered as I wish. That, however, does not manifest itself back in iTunes.
    One of two things appears to be the case. Either I cannot manage iTunes as it thinks it owns everything or I simply cannot uses the apple file management paradigm in use for the past two decades on an Apple computer running iTunes. Perhaps both of these are true. Another possibility is to install a different program over which I have control and disable iTunes from ever touching one of my imported files.
    It is possible that Apple intentionally obfuscated file management with iTunes to simplify their commercial management of the iTunes store, and while that is a possibility, understanding it is enigmatic.
    Another quandary is the concept of album. Under "New", playlists are mentioned, but not albums or folders. Yet both may show up mysteriously. There must be a ghost in my computer.
    Help and psychoanalysis will be appreciated.
    RAZ

    Since there are no obvious answers to this dilemma, I have changed my thinking on the subject. It is a title like giving up on teaching a pig to sing. Since I can organize all my mp3 files anyway I choose and furthermore can name them anything I choose I have done so and stored them under a named folder in the Music folder. I can play them with Quick Time and never have to go through iTunes at all.
    Case closed.

  • Splitting or Dividing an MP4 file into Separate Files

    I have been importing several VHS tapes with Elgato Video Capture to an external hard drive. I have several MP4 files. Some of the movie files have video from different subjects that I would like to split up. When I open them into Quicktime and copy and paste the section I want to a new Quicktime file why can I not just save the file in the format it was copied from?
    I don't want to have to import these into iMovie and re-export the video. I already have it in the format and size I want. Is there a way to just grab sections from these files and save them as is?
    I'm doing this on my MacBook not my G5 listed in my sig.

    When I open them into Quicktime and copy and paste the section I want to a new Quicktime file why can I not just save the file in the format it was copied from?
    If you are using QT 7 Pro, you can/are already doing so. However, QT Pro saves the segments in their original compression formats to an MOV file container. If your files are MPEG4/AAC or H.264/AAC you can perform the same segmentation actions using MPEG Streamclip (free) and save the files to either MOV or MP4 file containers. If you are using QT X for segmentation, then it works essentially the same as QT 7 Pro but by default writes the original data to an MOV file container without the .mov designation.
    Also when I export as it take way too long.
    The "Export" option normally re-compresses the video which is what takes so long.
    Why can't I just save and put in a name? It's already encoded and rendered.
    You can. Simply select the icon after it has been saved, click on the name to open the name editing box, and change it to whatever you want as long as the name is valid within file naming restrictions. (e.g., regarding length, characters, etc.)
    Why does it have to act like it's a brand new file?
    It is a "brand new file." Apple may have done this as part of a "do no harm" approach to prevent novice users from overwriting the original file and, thus, losing their original data for which the user may or may not have further use. As to why it doesn't offer you the opportunity to change the name, maybe you should request this option and a future enhancement. Since the name is easily changed in any case, it is not a "biggie" for me.

  • How can I save a page and all its component parts in a single file, like IE does as an MHT - it's much easier for mailing to people where page address not available?? (as in output from an airline booking site, for example)

    how can I save a page and all its component parts in a single file, like IE does as an MHT?
    It's much easier for mailing to people where page address not available?? (as in output from an airline booking site, for example)
    It is simply too painful to have to zip everything up into a single file to send. MHT format has been available for years now from IE, and with every new FF release it's the first thing I look for. I have been using FF for years, and hate having to come out of it, over into IE |(which I even took out of startup) and key everything in again, in order to send somebody something in a convenient format that they can open with a single click.
    I can't believe this hasn't been asked before, so have you looked at it and rejected it? Have MS kept the file format secret?
    Thanks
    MG

    This is not really an answer just my comments on your question.
    I am sure I recollect efforts being made to get mhtml to work with FF.
    Probably the important thing to remember about .mhtml is that if other browsers do support it they may need addons, and may not necessarily render the content correctly/consistently.
    There are FF addons designed for archiving webpages, you could try them, but that then assumes the recipient has the same software.
    You could simply save the page from FF to your XP pc; then offline open it with and save it using IE, before then emailing using FF, and attaching the .mht or mhtml file that you have now created on your PC.
    As an alternative method, in some cases it could be worth considering taking a screen grab of the required page, then sending that to the recipient as a single email attatchment using either a bitmap or jpeg file format for instance.
    Something such as an airline booking may be designed with a print option, possibly it could be worthwile looking at sending the print file itself as an email attachment.

    Hello Experts,
    Iu2019ve trying to write a code to fetch data in my program and create a file on server. My program work fine.

    Hey zero:
    open dataset file for appending in text mode encoding default.
    Probably because you're opening it for appending.

  • Why won't .mp4 file open in QT 10.0 (or iMovie'09) and OS 10.6.8?

    I'm trying to edit some .mp4 movie files, but I can't open them in Quicktime (10.0 or 7.6.6), or iMovie '09 (8.0.6) or Final Cut Express (4.0.1).  I've got a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).  When I try to open the file in QT 10, it says "The document “name.mp4” could not be opened"; whereas in QT 7 it says "The file could not be opened.  An invalid sample description was found in the movie."  In iMovie, the file is greyed out when I try to import it.
    The file will open and play fine in VLC, but I can't do the editing I want there.  The Media Information pane in VLC says: the codec is "H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10)(avc1)", it is HD resolution (1920 x 1080), it has a frame rate of 59.940060, and the Decoded format is "Planar 4:2:0 YUV".  It also has an audio track (MPEG audio) and a subtitle track.  I also tried opening these .mp4 files on two Mac laptops that a friend of mine has.  Interestingly, they would not open on one (I think running Lion with QT 10.0), but they DID open on the other newer laptop (running Mountain Lion with QT 10.2). 
    I first assumed it was just a case of not having the right codec.  So I tried copying all the codecs from the Mac laptop that *could* open them, but that didn't work.  Then I searched for and downloaded codecs that I might be missing, such as "avc1Decoder.dmg" from MyCometG3 and http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/23875/avc1decoder, and x264Encoder 1.2.27 also from MyCometG3, and I put them in my Library/Quicktime folder and restarted Quicktime, but neither solved the problem.  I also tried opening the .mp4 files in MPEG Streamclip (1.9.2), but it says "File open error: unrecognized file type".  When I tell it to "open anyway" it tries and then says "File open error: can't find video or audio tracks".
    I tried opening one of these .mp4 files in Handbrake (0.9.8) and it was able to open and convert the file to an .mp4 that is then openable in QT 10 with a format of H.264, AAC, and a reduced frame rate of 29.84.  However, this doesn't seem like a good solution because it takes about 2 hours to convert a file with 30 minutes of video.  I just want to be able to trim these big files down to some short video clips that are in an accessible format.
    Any help would be MUCH appreciated.  Am I missing the right codec?  Or, as I'm beginning to wonder, is this format one that is too demanding for OS 10.6.8 and QT 10 and they just cannot handle it no matter what codecs I have on my computer (because of the 60 fps frame rate?  Or is it the subtitle track?).  Or is the solution to upgrade my operating system to Mountain Lion (10.8) and QT 10.2?  My 15" MacBook Pro is about 2 years old with a 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 and 4 GB of RAM (1067 MHz DDR3).  Thanks.

    Wow! A lot of ifs, ands, and maybes here.
    I'm trying to edit some .mp4 movie files, but I can't open them in Quicktime (10.0 or 7.6.6), or iMovie '09 (8.0.6) or Final Cut Express (4.0.1).  I've got a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).  When I try to open the file in QT 10, it says "The document “name.mp4” could not be opened"; whereas in QT 7 it says "The file could not be opened.  An invalid sample description was found in the movie."  In iMovie, the file is greyed out when I try to import it.
    To start off with, these messages and/or inability to opent/import files could stem from either security updates that see something in the file that it interprets as a possible breach of file integrity or the inclusion of data not expected in the associated file type while missing codecs are either identified and load but do not display or refuse to load but issue a message to that effect and possibly asking if you want to visit a web page containing codes you may want to add.
    The file will open and play fine in VLC, but I can't do the editing I want there.  The Media Information pane in VLC says: the codec is "H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10)(avc1)", it is HD resolution (1920 x 1080), it has a frame rate of 59.940060, and the Decoded format is "Planar 4:2:0 YUV".  It also has an audio track (MPEG audio) and a subtitle track.  I also tried opening these .mp4 files on two Mac laptops that a friend of mine has.  Interestingly, they would not open on one (I think running Lion with QT 10.0), but they DID open on the other newer laptop (running Mountain Lion with QT 10.2).
    In the future, could you be more specific when describing the file contents. For the moment, I will assume the video is H.264 (MPEG-4/AVC) and the audio is AAC (MPEG-4) audio and not MPEG-1 layered audio. (I.e., while the former is to be expected with the MP4 file extension, some apps can "stuff" incompatible data into an MP4 container or users can manually change the file extemsion.) It also important to know if the "subtitle" track is embedded within the file or is contained in a separate file. (I.e., a screen capture of the media "info", "inspector", or "properties" window is usually the least ambiguous way to track content information.) It would also be nice to know if the VLC frame rate is for progressive or interlaced video if possible.
    Basically, some apps are very touchy about file extensions and track content. iMovie '08, for instance, will not open a file containing extraneous tracks like 'tween, text, chapter, etc. embedded within the file. I assume this may also be true for "subtitle" tracks as far as your Snow Leopard players are concerned. In any case, if your version of the QT 7 player is keyed for "pro" use, I would perform a simple test here by deleting the "subtitle" track, saving the file, and then re-trying to load, open, play, and/or import the file in the various applications currently giving you problems. If this fixes the problem, then you will know the source and solution of your problem
    I first assumed it was just a case of not having the right codec.  So I tried copying all the codecs from the Mac laptop that *could* open them, but that didn't work.  Then I searched for and downloaded codecs that I might be missing, such as "avc1Decoder.dmg" from MyCometG3 and http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/23875/avc1decoder, and x264Encoder 1.2.27 also from MyCometG3, and I put them in my Library/Quicktime folder and restarted Quicktime, but neither solved the problem.  I also tried opening the .mp4 files in MPEG Streamclip (1.9.2), but it says "File open error: unrecognized file type".  When I tell it to "open anyway" it tries and then says "File open error: can't find video or audio tracks".
    The indiscriminant installation of additional codecs often creates more problems than it solves owing to the logrithmic increased potential for the introduction of QT codec component conflicts. The normal "rule of thumb" here is to identify a missing codec and to then install only that specific codec component. Even then, there is a possibility that there may be a conflict but at least it is more easily identified so you can better evaluate which of the conflicting codecs to leave installed and which to swap only when needed/required. As to the use of MPEG Streamclip, it basically uses your system's QT component configuration of access of most codecs as opposed to VLC and HandBrake which contain their own, built-in codec support. So if QT is having a problem, it is often likely that MPEG Streamclip will also have problems.
    I tried opening one of these .mp4 files in Handbrake (0.9.8) and it was able to open and convert the file to an .mp4 that is then openable in QT 10 with a format of H.264, AAC, and a reduced frame rate of 29.84.  However, this doesn't seem like a good solution because it takes about 2 hours to convert a file with 30 minutes of video.  I just want to be able to trim these big files down to some short video clips that are in an accessible format.
    The HandBrake workflow forces a recompressing of the file data which is why it takse so long. That is why I suggested you try deleting any extraneous data tracks found in the source MP4 file container using QT 7 Pro and then use the "Save" or "Save As..." option to re-write the original audio and video data to a new MOV file container which takes much less time.
    Am I missing the right codec?  Or, as I'm beginning to wonder, is this format one that is too demanding for OS 10.6.8 and QT 10 and they just cannot handle it no matter what codecs I have on my computer (because of the 60 fps frame rate?  Or is it the subtitle track?).  Or is the solution to upgrade my operating system to Mountain Lion (10.8) and QT 10.2?  My 15" MacBook Pro is about 2 years old with a 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 and 4 GB of RAM (1067 MHz DDR3).
    Probably not. The VLC reported data rate may either indicate the MP4 content is AVCHD/BD sourced or it is reading interlaced content as progressive which I have noted it can do on occasion when I compare the media info as read by various different apps and/or utilities. Since you indicate the file opens in Mountain Lion, my guess would be that your MP4 content is actually AVCHD/BD sourced since such support was only recently added to Mac OS X v10.8 software. As to moving up to Mountain Lion, as always, that is something you would have to evaluate for yourself. For instance, do you require PNG compression for video content? By default you would lose it under Mountain Lion and have to re-enable it manually if needed. Are there other pros and cons that you need to consider before upgrading to Mountain Lion? These are the types of questions and compatibility issues that only you can answer for yourself.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro - PDF Optimizer fails when selecting overwrite file during save process

    Hello Everyone,
    I am wondering if Acrobat 9 Pro has changed in the way it handles PDF Optimizing functioning when trying to overwrite the file you are attempting to optimize. In Acrobat 8 Professional, it overwrites the file just fine when it gets to the save process. It does work when you modify the name during the save process, however, it would be nice to know if this is "the way it works" or the "program has an issue".
    Thoughts?
    Message received when trying to overwrite the file,
    COnversion Warnings> "An error was encountered while saving the document."
    Logically, it seems as though the application cannot save over an "opened" file thus dumping that message on me.
    Regards. D.

    > When using Save As to save a PDF, is it possible to have Commenting and Analysis enabled for that saved PDF by default?
    No.

  • Finder cover flow not playing .mp4 files

    Recently I found the option to play video files while in the cover flow view in a finder window (click on the right pointing arrow that appears when hovering over the thumbnail).
    This week when I try playing a video (.mp4 files), I can see that the video is playing but it is not displayed. I know it is playing because I can hear the sound track, can see the reflection of the video below where the display of the video should be and the progress circle works.
    MacBook / 10.6.2
    Anybody else seeing this? Anyone have a solution?

    This was fixed in the 10.6.4 update.

  • Problem with Premiere Elements 11 uploading mp4 files

    I tried to upload a video footage for editing. The video was taken using a GoPro camera and the output is mP4. The footage playback on Premiere Elements 11 was choppy and stalled often. I asked someone else with the same program and he experienced the same issue- so much so that he quit using Adobe's software and switched to Mac/iMovie. Any thought on why or how to fix the problem? I emailed Adobe support a couple of times for the problems encountered in both Premiere and Photoshop but have gotten no response from them. Thanks.

    Gumbie10
    Appreciated the follow up. Would like to offer some considerations....
    1. If you are looking at choppy video, then you must be on the Premiere Elements 11 Expert Timeline or Quick Filmstrip in order to see the choppy video in the Edit Mode monitor. Consequently, to see the video you had to import it.
    a. How did you import it? Add Media/Files and Folders to get the files into Project Assets from where you dragged the files to the Expert Timeline. (In the Quick Filmstrip route, there is no Project Assets intermediary. It is Add Media/Files and Folder/with direct to one of the scenes in the Filmstrip).
    b. Once you had the files on the Expert Timeline or Quick Filmstrip, did you render the files there by hitting the Render button or by hitting the Enter key of the computer main keyboard?
    2. Premiere Elements 11 automatically takes over setting up the project preset for a new project. The project preset should match the properties of the source media. Sometimes it does the set OK; sometimes, not. Check to see what the program has set if you did not set the project preset yourself manually. (Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, and Frame Size.)
    3. If you are using the GoPro Hero 3 Black at the 1080p set, then the video codec (compression) is AVCHD (MPEG4 AVC/.H264). The question becomes at what frame rate...30, 60, or other progressive frames per second. From what you wrote, apparently what you have has a .mp4 file extension (that is what is called the container, the format that wraps the video and audio compressions).
    4. Then we come to the matter of your photos. What are the pixel dimensions that you are trying to use for this Premiere Elements project? Have you gotten to importing the photos or is it only the videos that you have tried to import into a Premiere Elements 11 project?
    Please review the above.
    But, I am also concerned about
    Meantime, for still images, I did my editing on PS Element 11 and used Live Movie Maker to put together the video. It works for me. I had trouble with the output (to burn DVD/Cd and to upload to PS showcase) in the PS Element as well.
    Thanks again for the input. I'll give an update later.
    Do you want two separate projects, one for video and one for stills or is all that a workaround for overall issues.?
    Please do not hesitate to ask for clarification on anything that I have written. I will rewrite if necessary so that we are in sync.
    The answers are in the details.
    More later.

  • Problem with transferring mp4 file to iPod Video

    I used MediaFork to rip a DVD (that I own) to mp4. It looks great on my iMac and MacBook when running in QuickTime. I can import the file into iTunes.
    I can play the file from within iTunes. However when I sync content to my iPod it does not show up!
    When in QuickTime the following information is displayed in Movie Info.
    Format: h.264 Decoder 640 x 480, Millions AAC, Stereo (L R), 44.100 khz
    Data rate 1610.00 kbits/second
    Every once in a while the Playing FPS changes to > 24 (like 24.10)
    Is the data rate the problem??? Or what else could be the problem?
    Help!
    This is from the Video IPOD video specifications.
    H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Low-Complexity Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
    H.264 video, up to 768 Kbps, 320 by 240 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
    MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats

    The data rate you mention (1610) is over the published spec (1500), so I would guess that is indeed a problem.
    Also, in MediaFork, did you set the encoder to the option marked for iPod?
    If not, that could be a problem. Output from the encoder labeled MAIN won't work on an iPod.
    Settings I use succesfully –
    File format: MP4 file
    Codecs: AVC/H.264 Video / AAC Audio
    Framerate: Same as source
    Encoder: x264 (h.264 iPod)
    2-pass encoding: yes
    Quality: Average Bitrate 1250
    Picture settings: 640 x XXX
