Problem With Adding MPEG-4 Video Files

I've downloaded a couple of videos already in IPod video format, MPEG-4. The problem is that I can't add these to my library in ITunes. I can add just about any video file, then convert the selection to a format compatible with the IPod, but I can't seem to successfully add videos already in this format. Why is this?? Any help would be appreciated.

On a side note...when I try to open in Quick Time, I get an error stating that it's a bad file name or volume name. I don't get this error when I try to load it into ITunes.

Problems with adding music and videos from a different computer?

I have a 30gig video and it doesnt let me add anything from a computer that my itunes library isnt connected with.
When i try 2 add something it says ill have to switch to this computers media library and it will delete whats on the ipod. I only want to add a few songs and videos and it without deleteing everything
Windows XP

After you set the iPod to manually update, connect it to the second computer. If that message still appears, click "No" on it. Then, select a song in the iTunes library that you want on your iPod and simply click and drag it to your iPod. The top of iTunes will say "updating iPod" if the song was successfully dragged to the iPod.
See this article for more information on updating videos:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302509
The article is much more detailed than what I could ever hope to go into... and it does address manually updating audio files, and using the iPod on an iTunes library that it is not linked to.
Hope this helps you out

Problems with 10.6 playing video files in itunes.

Installed 10.6.3 two days ago - everything was working fine. Updated to 10.6.8 today and lost internet connection. Re-installed 10.6.3. Everything working fine except that I cannot play movies or tv shows in itunes now. Everything else is working alright. Any ideas?

JC:
This is something that has already been discussed at length in the following thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=895656&tstart=25
Unfortunately, there is no solution to this. Most videos under 30 minutes will play (I say most because it is not 100%).
What some people in this forum have done is to break the videos longer than 30 minutes in parts. I personally have not done that because I find it to be a waste of time.

Some Mpeg 4 video files not working under Window 7

I recently purchased a new PC running under Windows 7 OS. Obviously I have installed the latest version of ITunes and QuickTime player. I transferred all my music and video files from my vista laptop to the PC. The music files play fine using ITunes and the most recent music video files play ok too, but there seems to be a problem with the older music video files. When I try to play one of the older music video files, ITunes asks for authorization for the new PC to play the video each time I try to play the same video. ITunes grants authorization each time, but the video does not play, it shows that the video is playing on the progression bar but the music video is not displayed.
I have tried to play the music video using windows media player, but windows media error message says that it doesn't support the format of the music video.
I am perplexed as to what is going on; why will the newer music videos play through ITunes and not the older ones, and why doesn't windows media player support Mpeg 4 video files?

This article says you need to convert the AOL account to an apple id.

Problem with MPEG-4 video file in N70

I wanted to transfer MPEG-4 video files from my computer to my N70 phone. I put the files to the same place where others videos are, and when I tried to watch MPEG-4 video it complained that the phone can't repeat it.
I checked from nokia sites that my phone should actually repeat them with RealPlayer, but for some reason i cant watch the video, allthough all my other videos which i've taken with my phone are also MPEG-4. So is there anything i can do??
Sorry for my bad english. Im from Finland and 15 years old, so ...

If I remember well, N70 plays mp4 video without problems. Try resizing during encoding to 176 x 144 and reducing frame rate to 15 frames per second. Also try to keep data rate below 200 kb/s. If you are using MediaCoder do not go with default settings for Nokia N70, they are too optimistic.
Here is link to document titled Creating Mobile Videos

To Decode and play MPEG-2 Video files with JMF

Hi ALL,
I amin serious trouble with a problem. I am developing a Simulator, a function of which is to decode MPEG-2 Video files in real time and play it as well.I have got a MPEG-2 Decoder implemented in C from an open source and need to integrate with my Simulator which is writtebn in Java. The integration part I am doing via JNI(Java Native Interface). Now I have a bunch of C files in MPEG-2 decoder which are to be compiled during the Execution of the Java Simulator.Can anybody give some idea about how to call multiple C files from the Java Source through JNI at one go? Another problem I am facing is in calling a single C code from the traditional "HelloWorld" Java Code itself. The problem comes when I am trying to compile the shared library between the C native code and Java Code in my Linux Machine...I am getting the following message:
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/.../../../crt1.0 : In function '_start' :
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/.../../../crt1.0(.text+0x18): undefined reference to 'main'

Upgrading to iTunes 10.6.0.40 imports MPEG-4 movie files as "QuickTime movie file" not "MPEG-4 Video file"

Recently updated itunes to 10.6 and since then adding any new MPEG-4 Video file itunes is flagging as QuickTime.
This creates an issue since my Apple TV doesn't recognize these types of files in iTunes.
To validate it's the itune upgrade, previous "MPEG-4 Video file" entries added and played on Apple-TV were imported an now show as "QuickTime Video file"
Thx

This problem has been resolved after the ATV update was received.
The ATV now recognizes the videos marked in itunes as Quick time eventhough they are Mpeg-4 video files.

MPEG-4 video files won't play in Quicktime

I bought movies on iTunes and I can only watch them on my iPod. I can't view the movies with Quicktime or with iTunes. The movies are MPEG-4 video files. Any suggestions? I can't figure it out.

I solved my problem with MP4 and MOV files not playing on my Windows XP Pro PC.
Short solution: Reinstall latest NVIDIA driver from NVIDIA not Microsoft.
A few days ago, I decided to rebuild my PC from scratch, after deciding to change from Norton to McAfee for performance reasons. I reinstalled Windows XP Pro from the installation disks and performed Microsoft Update to bring it up to current. I then manually installed all optional software and hardware "updates". Installing the optional video driver turned out to be the cause of the problem, but I did not know it then. It was a very obsolete driver - NVidia Corportation – Video – NVIDIA GeForce 3 Ti200 released on July 28, 2003
I downloaded and installed Quicktime with iTunes which installed QuickTime 7.4.1 and iTunes 7.6.0.29. Neither would play MP4 or even MOV files. I got garbled, scrambled, blocks of colored video. Audio would play OK.
A re-install of QuickTime did not help and both products said they were up to date.
A temporary quick-fix was to uncheck DirectX - Enable Direct3D Video accelleration in QuickTime-Edit-Preferences-QuickTime Preferences-Advanced, or select Safe Mode (GDI only).
The permanent fix was to update the video drivers and NOT use the Microsoft supplied update. I went to www.nvidia.com, selected "support" on the taskbar, clicked "download drivers", entered product type=Legacy and GeForce3 Series and Windows XP and clicked Search. That found ForceWare Release 90 version 93.71 dated Nov 2, 2006. It supports a huge number of NVidia cards. I downloaded it and installed it and everything worked after that.
To prevent Microsoft Update from re-installing the Optional Hardware video driver, run Microsoft Update manually (e.g. from IE-Tools-Windows Update) click "Custom", select Optional Hardware, Expand the NVidia Corportation – Video – NVIDIA GeForce 3 Ti200 released on July 28, 2003 and check "Don't show this update again". Then close Microsoft Update. (while you are at it, do the same for the optional audio update. That really messed up my system)
I hope this helps at least a few people. Good luck.

Problem with adding Sun JSF RI v1.2 as a new library in JDeveloper 10.1.3.1

Hi,
I have a problem with adding a latest JSF 1.2 RI from Sun (https://javaserverfaces.dev.java.net/files/documents/1866/44998/jsf-1_2_03.zip) to JDeveloper as a new library.
I created a new User library and added into it jsf-impl.jar and jsf-api.jar from JSF 1.2 RI.
Then I try to create two new JSP Tag libraries based from .tld files.
When a .tld file is placed in "TLD File:" field there is no information below about Library Version and Required JSP Version. If I check "Execute Tags in JSP Visual Editor" and click "Customize" button - list of tags in "Customize Tag Library" window is empty.
I have errors when I try to use JSF Tags from this new library in JSP page like :
"Can't create tag instance: f:view (class: null). Make sure, that the tag class or a library contained this class is available in this application"
(free translation to English)
Is this possible to add JSF RI v1.2 as another library in Jdeveloper 10.1.3.1 ?
thanks for help

Hi,
This solution is not exactly for Jdeveloper 10.1.3.x I think.
- "Create a JSF system library." section, point 2. - there is not possible to add library in folder other than User I see, so I added it in User folder.
- "Register the JSF JSP tag libraries." section, point 5. - in JD 10.1.3 there is no dialog box, I checked checkbox "Show Tag Library in Palette". A new library was added to User folder but there is no new libraries in component Palette.
Even as I use "Edit tag libraries .." from Component Palette context menu and add manually new tag libraries to selected, there is no libraries in Component Palette after it.
I feel so problem is with different .tld files format, not with adding libraries method.
Sun RI tld file (from version 1.2_03) fragment:

I have iMovie '11, and I am unable to access mpeg HD video files that I want to edit. The files are fine (I can open and watch them using VLC), but I cannot seem to import the files into iMovie. File Import does not work. Any suggestions??

More detail: I have a bunch of mpeg HD video files that were shot on a SONY HDR-HC3 Handycam camcorder. I would like to edit these into a single video production. I can access and view the mpeg files using VLC (Quicktime does not work with them). However, I seem to be unable to get the mpeg files to interface with iMovie '11 -- I cannot use the File --> Import command, nor can I drag-and-drop them into iMovie.
Is there something anyone might suggest to get this to work? Or are these files incompatible with iMovie? If so, I assume I must purchase a different video editing software program (e.g. Adobe Premeir Pro). Suggestions???
Many thanks in advance for your time and consideration

Yes, I tried that.   The files were ordered by their original numbers as imported from the camera, but I batched them through Phocoshop to downsize all of them into a more manageable file size.   I opened that destination folder from quick time from where it said select image sequence.   I clicked on the first one and opened it.   The result was a large image with an arrow indicating a movie was ready to go.   When I pressed the arrow, though, I realized it had only imported that one frame so there was no movie.   The files are Jpgs and are about 450 KB each.
    To your knowledge are there any links to iMovie tutorials or quick time tutorials that may address this situation? Maybe there will be one I haven't looked at yet.
    Thanks

Album/playlist downloaded from iTunes includes mpeg-4 video file?

I have downloaded from iTunes an album that includes an mpeg-4 video file? What is the best medium CD or DVD and format for burning the playlist? Assume it could be played on a CD player (for sound only) or a DVD player.

Handbrake includes a universal setting which makes the video compatible with the iPhone/iPod, Apple TV, and with iTunes on your computer. It also includes an iPhone/iPod compatible setting.

Strange problem with linking to external vob-file

I have a strange problem with linking to external vob-file. I
have created a link using BudApi:
on mouseup
set OK = baOpenFile ( the pathname &
"Files\General\Video\VTS_01_1.VOB", "normal")
end
This code opens mpg-videos correctly, but nothing happens
when I try to open vob-files with the same code. The strangest
thing is that when I change the default program for vob-files to
WinDVD this code works and the file opens, but when I change the
default program to Nero Showtime this code doesn't do anything
(when I open the file 'manually' from the folder, it opens
correctly on Nero Showtime). My client uses Nero Showtime, so I
really would appreciate any help on this one.

If you open a command prompt, do you get an association
listed like this
example for .txt files:
C:\>assoc .txt
.txt=txtfile
C:\>ftype txtfile
txtfile="D:\Program Files\JGsoft\EditPadLite\EditPadLite.exe"

MPEG-4 video file format and IMOVIE.....help!!

I am completely new to IMOVIE and I am trying to import and DVD into it. I used ROXIO CRUNCH to convert a VIDEO_TS folder to use in IMovie. It converted it into a MPEG-4 Video file which is completley pixelated and not viewable. However IMovie did let me import it. What do I need to do?

Diff between "MPEG-4 Video File" & "MPEG-4 Movie" (PC) ?

iTunes seems to play both video types. I have several dozen of each on my PC. Both are in my iTunes "Movies" folder and all are video.
The "MPEG-4 Video File" icon is the little music note on top of a CD with "MPEG 4" under it.
The "MPEG-4 Movie" icon is a little "Q" in what looks like a film frame with "MPG4" under the Q.
Is there difference in the way iTunes handles either and should I save video files in one mode or the other? Why?
Thanks!
