Permanently changing volume for video files to iPod

I've got a bunch of old-time musical shorts from the 30's which I've saved in .mp4 format so I can also view them on my iPod. However, many of these files are of low volume, and all of them vary greatly from each other. This is getting a bit annoying.
Is there some way of permanently changing, and standardizing the volume of these files before I transfer them to my iPod?
Thanks,
Jim

There is no way to change them automatically, but you can change the volume level for each video manually.
Select the video in iTunes and open the "Get Info" window (command + I or file -> Get Info). Select the options tab and use the volume adjustment slider to correct the volume. Then tap the "OK" button.
This is a trial and error procedure, but if you have enough patience, you'll get things more to your liking.

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.

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!

Getting Video Files onto iPod

I have just succesfully followed the instructions on how to get a video file onto my iPod using the sample that apple supply on the web. Hoever I have had no success in getting a file that I have created which is saved as an avi file onto itunes? Can anyone help out?

Go to
http://www.digital-digest.com
Search on IPOD. This will explain how to convert video files to IPOD ready files. The programs mentioned (at least three) are free and easy to use.
On this same website is a wealth of knowledge on how to convert DVD files to any video file format you desire.
pc Windows XP

Guide to ANY video file to ipod for FREE using Windows!!!!

This has taken hours upon hours of my time to figure out so you guys won't have to!
First off go to:
http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/
download and install this amazing program. It will convert avi's, mpeg-2,...
after installing, you CAN'T use the default settings
to output a video file that can be transfered onto
ipod EVENTHOUGH YOU CAN TO iTUNES!. So what you have
to do is go into setup and where it says "one-click
profile" change that to "SP/320x240/1500..." and then
chose a directory that you want it to output to. SAVE
now, when you go to convert make sure you click on
"one-click transcode" and chose the file(s) you want
it to convert to. to chose more then one file hold down ctrl and click on all the videos you want (it has to be in the same folder from my knowledge). when its done you'll have the orignal video on your computer as well as a mpeg-4 version (you can tell which is which, change your folder view to details and it will say under "type". drag and drop all the mpeg-4 ones into iTunes MAIN LIBRARY, NOT VIDEOS!. if you want, after its done, you can delete the original as well as the mpeg-4 files because iTunes saves it again, at least it does for me since i have a CONSILIDATED LIBRARY which means anything you put into iTunes thats not apart of its directory folder, it will make a copy of and put in its directory folder. If you don't have a consildated library you should not delete the mpeg-4 files. Edit your video files in iTunes and connect your ipod and see the magic happen. And
that is that. ENJOY!!

The full version of Nero has a program called RECODE.
It's output displays well in the IPOD.
You can choose the quality, amount of compression, screen size, etc.
I went to the Quicktime page that shows how to do this in Quicktime and it gives the suggested screensize and bitrates to go by and set NERO to . A 2 hour movie in 300MB appears to have no major sacrifice in quality using the small screen. The video compression properties screen has a checkbox that says "simple - Quicktime compatible" that may or may not have helped, but I set it as a new default profile called IPOD.

Posting the same question again only confuses people.

In the future just reply to your previous post to bump it to the top.
I noticed that you did not get any replies in the iMovie forum.
have your tried just Googling for:

There seems to be good hits when I did that.

Trouble getting video files into iPod Video

I am having trouble getting some video files onto my Video iPod.
Some videos will sync onto my iPod, some won't.
But, they are formatted the same way. And have the same extension.
The format for the files are:
Frame size: 320x240
Video: H.264
Audio: AAC
I see nothing in Quicktime's movie properties that is different between the videos that will, and will not transfer onto my iPod.
What do I need to change to make these files update onto my iPod?
thanks a mill!

Frame rate?

Higher volume for video playback?

Hello everyone!
I am new to the boards and to the touchpad. I have a question about adjusting the volume in video playback. I woudl like to know while during the conversion process, are there any converters out there that can boost the volume? I have been playing with Movavi, AVS, and Cucusoft. I am converting an AVI to MPEG-4 or Ipad format, whichever is on the menu. When I transfer the converted file, the video looks great and the audio plays back. However, the volume to me is not high enough. I have also used my headphones and it still does not play as loud as my iphone 4 and they are basically the same file and format. I bought this because of the price and I am going on vacation later this year and I want to use it on the plane so that is why I am having the volume issue. To me it seems it wont be loud enough on the plane. Is there anything I am missing? I have also tried to upgrade to the latest OS version but the TP is always coming back with the unable to connect message. I am still working on that. I cant get the web doctor to work but that is another thread.
Thanks very much
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

Ok, I think I have mastered how to convert my movies to play on the TP with no issues. However, I need to somehow increase the volume level of the converted movie. I have already installed the preware option that increases the internal volume levels, but some of the movies I have converted seem a little low for my taste. I have been trying trial versions of several video converters such as DVD fab, Xilisoft, Cucusoft and others but I like Handbrake's track record and it's free!
What I would like to know is if there is a volume setting in Handbrake? If not does anyone know a way to increase the volume levels when you convert movies any other way?
Thanks very much.

NOT ABLE TO IMPORT MUSIC AND VIDEO FILES FROM IPOD TO COMPUTER/ITUNES LIBRARY !!!!

Hi.... I am having IPod Nano 5th Generation. I can access music and video files (that are stored in Ipod memory) in Ipod. But when I connect the ipod to computer, I am not able to access/import these music and video files through computer. Also, I am not able to see any folders like DCIM, Contacts, etc... in the memory of IPod. Can any body help me out... ?

Search it up on google.com. There's a lot of apps that will help you do this. Check out this one:
http://www.imtoo.com/ipod-computer-transfer.html
You can also check out this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWvYo6Gcq44
I tried the import software (trial version) and it was fine but I didn't want to pay for software. You can authorize up to 5 computers in the house to access your iTunes music and other iTunes purchases. Open iTunes, you can go under Store and select Authoize this computer.
Good luck!

Restoring lost video files from iPod Classic

I was recently trying to move my Video Files (last three seasons of Cops all downloaded from Itunes) to a different location on my computer. To put a long story short they somehow disappeared and I’m not sure how. I have searched my hard drive and I didn’t even have them in my recycle bin.
Fortunatly I still have them on my iPod Classic (160 GB) and I’m trying to figure out how to recover them from it, but I’m not sure if I have it set up to sync video files automatically or if it even works that way and I’m afraid to plug it into my computer or it might sync and delete the files.
The first thing I tried was to plug it into a different computer (already authorized) so it would upload the files downloaded then I could use an external drive to transfer the files back to my regular computer. I was able to get the most recent season uploaded, but then I got an error message saying that it couldn’t upoload some of the protected files unless my computer was authorized (even though it was). I re-authorised my computer and it still didn’t work.
I read that you can press Ctrl-Shift and hold it down while you plug your iPod in that it will prevent auto-syncing. I tried this but as soon as my iPod said “synchronizing” I unplugged it.
Does anyone know how I could pull these files from my iPod to get them back on my computer?

To prevent auto sync, before you connect the iPod go to the iTunes preferences and select "devices", then select "disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods".
Then see: How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.

How to create a download link for video file?

Hello guys,
I know this is not a question directly related to OS X, but I just can't find a solution. So I was hoping that some of you might know the answer, or could recommend further reading.
I have .mov video files (video footage) on the server. I would like to make these files accessible for download, via link.
So I am wondering .... how can I create a link, which would allow people to download .mov video files from the server?
Thanks for any advice or tip.

The question is, where is the server?
Is it on its own static IP? If it is not, it likely is on a DHCP configuration.
For those with DHCP, I recommend http://www.dyndns.com as a workaround, otherwise the links given will have to change as often as every hour!
Is it on a router, or does it have a firewall turned on in its sharing preferneces? Routers and firewalls block direct access from the outside. You need to setup the web sharing access on your router or firewall before someone can access it via the web.
Is the .mov file saved via Quicktime? You would also need to provide link on your page to http://www.apple.com/quicktime so that it may be downloaded by those who don't have it. If it is another format, you'll need a link to whatever format it is.
HTML for putting the video right on the page is usually controled by the EMBED function. That's covered here:
http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/embeddedobjects/_EMBED.html
Otherwise a simple hyperlink to the file will do, once you have an open web sharing port on a static IP or dyndns controled domain.

.Avi video files to ipod

do you guys know if there's a way to convert avi files to ipod form. Is there a program that works for free, or does itunes work?

I've broken the code that lets you convert .avi files that works in itunes and updates to my video 30g ipod. Do not try to use quicktime pro 7. Go to www.videora.com and download version 0.91 (it's free, fast and actually works!) you can donate $$$ if you like. I did. Select CONVERT-transcode new video-browse for file. In the Quality Profile dropdown h264/320*240/256kbpsStereo/96kbps click start. From itunes file-add file to library-browse select. I tried to convert selection to ipod but it was already in proper format. Plug in your ipod (I use update video automatically)During ipod video playback choose tvoff or you will only get audio. It took me hours to figure out the puzzle because apple does not support .avi type files. I don't usually post, but I think this info will save everyone alot of valueable time and money.

How to change directory for VOD files

Hello..
My company has recently asked me to install the Adobe Streaming Server 4.0. I was wondering if it is possible to have the server software reside on the C: drive, while having my VOD files on seperate D: drive. The staff here wants to separate the software (server in this instance) from the individual flash video files, so they have set up two drives. Any suggestions here? Can this be done, or do the files have to reside inside the VOD folder on the C: drive?

Hi,
Thanks for your interest in FMS 4.
Yes , you can have the FMS installation in the C drive and the media files any where else. Go to the FMS installation directory and to the conf folder under it. There is a fms.ini configuration file where we can edit the settings for the vod folder. Find a variable VOD_DIR which is now pointing to the vod/media folder under FMS. Change it to the location that you would like to have.

Is there a way to permanently change the default video player to VLC?

I installed the QuickTime update and now all my AVIs won't play with sound. Downloaded VLC and they will play with sound. I went to 'Get Info' on an avi and changed 'open with' to VLC and selected 'change all'. They will open and play with VLC until I re-boot, then everything changes back to QuickTime. Right now I just hate Quicktime and don't want to use it. How can I change the default video player to VLC without Quicktime changing it back when I reboot?

How can I change the default video player to VLC without Quicktime changing it back when I reboot?
Sounds like you changed it properly. The question now becomes, "Why isn't the change being saved?" Have you tried repairing your disk permissions? As to the original problem, it could be that the QT upgrade has rearranged the order of your stored codec components table called by QT. While this table is rebuilt each time the QT Player is opened, the table seems to be ordered from latest component installments to oldest. So there is the possibility that two (or more) components are allocated for playback of you AVI files and the wrong one now has priority. If you can find it (e.g., possibly Perian), you could simply remove it from the QT components folder and then replace it to again change the "build" order for the table. (Basically, you would need to run a component conflict test strategy here.)
