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

Problem with reading mp4 files with QT 7.4.1 or mpeg Streamclip

Hi,
I used to convert some .flv files into .mp4 files with iSquint and then into .dv files with mpeg Streamclip in order to re-work and compile these files on a DVD using iMovie and iDVD.
However I cannot do it anymore since I upgraded to QT 7.4.1. iSquint uses the mpeg-4 video codec to convert the file. Therefore I cannot open them with QT 7.4.1 anymore and I cannot convert them into .dv files with mpeg Streamclip anymore since Streamclip is uses a QT plug-in.
I have tried to solve the problem using Perian but this plug-in does not work with my version of Mac (Panther 10.3.9). I also tried to downgrade to an older QT using Pacifist but it nearly crashed my whole computer (fortunately I could fix that by reinstalling QT 7.4.1).
Has someone a solution to my problem?
Thank you in advance.
Steve

Not all the following will apply to Panther (10.3.x) so look carefully on the sites mentioned for the correct versions:
These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, QT 7.3 or 7.4 and OS 10.4.11. (If you are running Leopard, ensure that all plug-ins have been updated for OS 10.5)
Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.9 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
Adobe FlashPlayer should first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2 and then the latest version obtained from here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash and installed.
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.)
In earlier versions than QT 7.1.3 in Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
You should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11 or Leopard, that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Update 2007-009.1.1, which also deals with the Quicktime/Flash issues you may have experienced, such as the '?'. What happened was that both Quicktime as well as Adobe FlashPlayer tried to play the Flash video at the same time. This no longer happens. (N.B. Security Update 2007-009 1.1 requires both a restart and a permission repair.)
If you get problems with viewing video on a website try moving this file to your Desktop:
Hard drive/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/QuickTime Plugin.webplugin
and then restarting Safari. If all now works, you can trash that file.
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

Problems with importing mp4 files into iTunes.

Hi all,
Since a few days I am the proud owner of an iPad 2. When I was looking for a solution to sync my video files (no problems with my pictures nor with my music files), I saw that I had to convert them from .avi to .mp4.
Through this community I learned that there were several free and paid options. Such as handbrake, convertavitomp4.com, etc etc
In the end I have tried around 4, but when trying to get the files into my library of iTunes it fails. In the beginning I did not receive any error message. It just did not work. I tried through CTRL-O, drag and drop. Nothing seems to be working.
Does it have something to do with the fact that I have the newest iTunes (10.5) and the latest OS for the iPad?
Does anyone have The same experience or knows a solution?
Thank you in advance,

Hi Swen,
I am checking out flex player after your recommendation. However, I have since resolved my problem. I am running windows 7, 64 bit, and discovered that the problem was windows 7 security settings. All my itunes data was on a hard drive that I plugged into my new pc running windows 7. Despite allowing me to access the hard drive in the usual way, I discovered (after some help from someone more knowledgeable) that the problem was that all my itunes data was protected and I did not have "full control" rights in the security settings. Very odd, given that I have only one user account on the pc. And why it could not tell me what the problem was I don't know. But what I did was right click the drive and make sure my user account had "full control" rights and now I can drag and drop movies into itunes. This may not fix your issue but hope you resolve it soon.

Problem with opening mp4 files in TV programmes

When I open iTunes and press CTRL+O to upload a file, in this case a tv programme with a MP4 format, nothing comes up in the section TV Programmes. Anyone who can help?
Thanks!

Hi Mario,
thank you very much for your response. I have tried this several times but this is not working either for me.
In the attachment you can see my iTunes printscreen. If i drag mp4 files to TV programmes and Films (which normally do work) nothing happens. Also when I try to upload this through CTRL+O nothing uploads.
Any way you have a solution for this?
Thank you in advance.

Cap7: Problems with Publishing .mp4 file on Mac

Hello,
Using Captivate 7 for the Mac, i imported a Power Point PPTX file, added audio tracks to the slides, and then tried to Publish it for YouTube. It did not work. After trying many different ways to publish, I realize that the published .mp4 file is zero bytes every time. I have tried all formats for you tube, as well as strait mp4. Those don't work. Publishing to html5 format works OK.
Hardward: Mac Book Pro Mid-2011
Mac OS: Lion
App: Captivate 7.0.0.118, I also updated Adobe Media Encoder 6.0.2.81
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
Instead of re-recording the audio, you can try export/Import of audio files from Library.
You can perform it in two different ways.
1. Select all the audio files from library, Export it in some location, Import it back in the new project, and assign it to the slides accordingly
Or
You can try opening the old project's library in the new project through 'External library' option and can drag and drop audio files accordingly.
Thanks,
Nimmy Sukumaran.

Problems with importing .MP4 file and the audio in FCP 6

Hi all,
I am pretty new to Final Cut Pro and have just approached my first project.
I have a Samsung VP-MX20
http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/detail/spec.do?group=cameracamcorder&type=cam corder&subtype=flashcamcorder&model_cd=VP-MX20/XEU&fullspec=F
*Codecs H.264, AAC.*
I needed some space on the camera so halfway through a holiday i transfered all the video files from the camera to my Laptop.
I have imported these files from the hardrive
Vid rate - 25 fps
compressor - H.264
Pixel Aspect - PAL - CCIR 601
What seems to be the problem is ok when i drag the clip from the viewer to the canvas and apply insert, i get the box that says 'Change Sequence settings to match the clip settings?
i click yes and when the clip is layed out on the timeline there is a red line above the timeline, when i play the clip i only get bleeps as audio and not the original sound.
If i drag the playhead i can hear the audio but if i try to play all i hear us bleeps plus if i import an mp3 the red line appears above the timeline and the same applies
can anyone help me here.
Thanks
Elles

Hi Zak,
many thanks for your reply, i have contacted Apple and taking your advice and using compressor i have converted the codec H.264 to Apple Pro Res 422 for interlaced material.
I have imported this file and when i drag once again from the viewer to canvas i get the standard box asking to change the sequence to match the clip.
I am still getting the red line above the timeline and bleeping as audio.
any idea?

Major problems with transferring songs to new iPod touch 5th gen

Hi, I'm in need of help.
I just bought a new iPod touch 5th generation today and I naturally wanted to transfer some songs to it today via iTunes. I have an old MacBook aluminium with os x 10.5.8 and I have not been able to update any of my programs lately due to the fact that my os does not support them. When I plugged in my iPod to my computer, iTunes immediately opened and said that I had to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes because my iPod is not compatible with the current version. I tried doing so but failed since my os is not compatible with the new program. This is obviously just a vicious circle, since as I said, I have to buy the latest os x to update any of my programs. And since my computer is 5 years old I do not feel the need to do that, because I will soon buy a new one (in about a year).
So now I really need help. How do I transfer music to my iPod without using iTunes? I've tried googling it and I've downloaded a bunch of programs but they are just 30 day trials and that won't work for me since I update my iPod daily. I've also tried putting music on dropbox but my iPod won't download music files from there, and sending music through Bluetooth won't work either. For a moment I though iCloud might work but I don't have that on my computer nor can I download it. Right now the situation seems hopeless, is the only way of solving this by upgrading my old computer or wait until I buy a new one? I feel like there must be some sort of way, but I can't come up with anything else.
Please help me, thank you

I know of no way except to upgrade the computer/purchases newer computer that will handle iTunes 10.7 or later.
If you have a Power PC processor (vice an Intel processor) you need a Mac with an Intel processor.If you computer has an Intel processor just purchase the Snow Leopard upgrade disk About $30

Problems with transferring photos to my iPod

I used the tutorial for it and everything, however I keep getting a popup saying "iPod cannot be updated. The disk could not be read from or written to." I have no idea what to do nor what I'm doing wrong.
Someone, please help!

This is weird, when I connected the iPod to my computer it opened iTunes, and I had to do all the stuff you do the first time, but this time I checked 'Automatically add photos' or whatever as well. So, then it started to put them on my iPod but I pressed skip because I didn't want like over 770 pictures on my iPod, just the ones I would pick... so then, it updated the songs and everything, that was great but I got my hopes up too soon and figured I'm in, but no, I still get the same message when I try to upload photos... ahh, please help!

Problem With Transferred Music Files From External HD

I have two external drives, both of which have music stored on them. One I use as my library for iTunes, the other is basically just stored as a secondary because I didn't really listen to it much. I decided to move all of the music together on one drive, obviously as my iTunes library, but everything I moved over from the secondary drive doesn't show up in iTunes. It does, however, show in my iTunes Music folder with the rest of the music. Any ideas?

Figured it out.

I just moved my itunes library from a win 7 computer to a win 8.1 computer. Getting an error message "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly. Can't play CDs or get audio file from web!

Help! I just moved my itunes library from a Win 7 computer to a new Win 8.1 computer following the instructions on the itunes website. Everything is good except I'm getting an error message on the Win 8 computer if I try to play a CD or get an audio file off of the internet. I get an error message that says "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly. I don't know where to look for or fix the audio configuration on the win 8 computer. As far as I can tell the iTunes configuration looks the same as on the other computers in the house. At this point I don't dare plug my ipod touch into the Win 8 computer for fear it will get messed up.

I have the same problem and I know that it is due to my PCI Audio driver not being compatible with WIndows 8.1.
iTunes isn't the only program that can't direct sound to the built-in speakers anymore. The obvious solution would be to update the drivers, but unfortunately Dell does not provide an updated driver for my model, so I am stuck with that.
However, saying that, only my laptop speakers are affected by this. I can use sound fine on applications where I can choose the output device and direct sound to the head phones, but for some reason iTunes does not let you choose the audio device manually.
To listen to music I imported the iTunes Library in Windows Media Player and changed the audio output using the following instructions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/c00d11ba
However, I would also like to rent movie's from iTunes,
Would be great if iTunes would let you choose the output device, too, like most other applications using sound from Skype to Windows Media Player,...

Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

haben
From looking at the specifications of your camera (SJCam 4000), we know already what video compression your camera is using. It is H.264.
A H.264.mov file should be supported by Premiere Elements 11. On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running?
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer? And, are you running QuickTime and Premiere Elements 11 from a
User Account with administrative privileges? Please go to Premiere Elements 11 Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime to confirm that you find
presets there for the QuickTime choice there.
What are the properties of these H.264.mov files - is it 1080p30 (1920 x 1080p30) or something else? Do you know if this camera is recording with a variable or
a constant frame rate?
Please review and consider and then we will decide what next.
Thank you.

This message recently popped up on my PC - "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/video playback may not operate properly." What does this mean and how to fix ??

Hi Everyone - recently this message popped up on my PC, when I was trying to import cd's into the iTunes library and then onto my iPod - "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/video playback may not operate properly." Can anyone tell me what this means and how to fix it ?? I am not fantastically PC savvy, so any information explained fully and all steps to follow to get my music playing again would be great !! Thanks, SC

Hi B, thanks so much for helping me troubleshoot !!
Ok, so when I went in to check the Audio tab of the Sounds and Audio Device Properties, I found the following:-
* Sound Playback Default Device = No Playback Devices.
* Sound Recording Default Device = No Playback Devices.
* MIDI Music Playback Default Device = No MIDI Playback Devices.
All text in this drop-down box were light grey, and therefore unable to be selected or altered.
I also tried playing a cd through Windows Media player, to see if I could get sound a different way. When I put the cd in and clicked on Play, the following message appeared, "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device. There may not be a sound device installed on your PC, it may be in use by another program, or it may not be functoning properly."
Any ideas ? I had sound previously, but then a work colleague re-built the PC to add more space to the hard drive, and since then, no sound. I know this may now not just be an iTunes issue, but I would appreciate any assistance you can offer.
Thanks again,
Shell

Hi there
Sorry for hijacking your thread as put by Dahveed. However I have resolved my issue so I thought I'll share it with the rest of you.
I checked for the error 3194 in youtube and I found some good videos that tell you how to resolve the problem. The issue I was facing was the actually (I know because I have resolved it now) the communication between my computer and apple server which can be fixed as following (if you are using windows):
There is file in following directory:
C:\Windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
The file normally has no extension and it is in file format. You need to open it and make sure that every line that has apple server id starts with "#". In my case one of the line started directly with the ip address and then gs.apple.com.
Perform your restore/update after that and hopefully it should be resolved (mine did).
Cheers
