Problems importing MPEG 4 video to Ipod

I've converted some video to MPEG4 using Videora, but I cant import it to my ipod. I dont get any error message, but the vicdeo just doesnt appear in my ipod movies. I've done this loads of times before, but never had this problem - any ideas?

do the videos show up in iTunes? If so, did you check every folder in the video section of your iPod? When I tried loading my own video, it only showed up in the "Recently added video" section for some reason.

Import MPEG-2 video into PhotoShop CS6

Does anyone know why I can not import MPEG-2 video file into PH CS 6?

Hi there -
Do you have any other Adobe programs installed? Photoshop CS6 can only open MPEG-2 video files if a decoder is installed, such as Premiere Pro or After Effects.
See this Adobe Help article for more information about supported files types in Photoshop CS6: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/supported-file-formats-photoshop-cs6.html
EDIT: Here is an extremeley technical post about this issue - http://forums.adobe.com/message/4700873

Synching audio problem with MPEG-4 video in QuickTime

Hello,
I’m having a problem with MPEG-4 video file I created with TechSmith Camtasia (6.0.1).
Problem: The audio does not sync up with the video when played with Apple QuickTime 7.6 (latest build) in Windows Vista. The longer the video plays the more out of sync the audio is. Here's where it gets interesting:
When I play the file using Adobe Media Player or Adobe Flash Player (plug-in in Internet Explorer), the video and audio sync up and all is good.
Is there a problem with how Quicktime decompresses this type of file?
Does anyone have any idea what is happening?
Thanks,
Leo

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.

ITunes refuses to import mpeg-4 videos

I have a few mpeg-4 video clips on my computer that I want on my ipod. iTunes refuses to import them. I've tried file>add folder to library, file>add file to library and attempting to add them individually, I've tried dragging and dropping, again as a group and individually.
All methods give the same result: a dialog window with the progress bar. It scrolls through the names quickly, the progress bar gets to less than 10% before the dialog box disappears and there are no new videos in itunes at all.
How do I fix this?

Sounds like you've got a setting wrong . . . Videodora is temperamental at best, you may want to go to iLounge go through the step by step tutorial they've got up.
Good luck!

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 ...

Problems importing iPhone 4 video into After Effects CS5 - Audio sync out

Hi there,
I am currently experiencing problems trying to import iPhone 4 video into After Effects CS5.
Firstly i'd like to note that the video plays perfectly fine on the iPhone, VLC and in Quicktime Player. The audio and video is in sync.
When I add the footage to After Effects the video becomes slightly out of sync with the audio. I have noticed this in RAM preview and also in renders I did just to test.
I also want to note that, both my iPhone and After Effects have latest software updates.
Thanks for your help

Thanks Rick and Mylenium
Thanks that worked!
I thought that changing the frame rate in the composition settings would have worked.
Instead what I should have done is to go the the footage in the Project Panel then right-click on the footage > Interpret Footage > Main... then Conform to frame rate: Frame rate: 23.986607 (or whatever more accurate frame rate your footage actually is)
I used the more accurate frame rate reading from VLC which went to 5 decimal places. I got that info from the top menu in Tools > Codec Information
Its a shame AE doesn't pick up on the more accurate fps. It seems that all the videos from my iPhone 4 have slightly different frame rates and I guess I will have to interpret each clip properly.
I hear that the frame rate on the iPhone 4 is different depending on the lighting? I wonder why that would be the case?
Hope this helps anybody else that might face this problem.
Cheers

Problems exporting mpeg 2 videos from a Mac

Can someone explain to me why when I'm trying to make and mpeg 2 video from Premiere Pro CS6 and using Media Encoder and when this open it begins to work but it freeze and doesn't complete the task? I thought it was my Blackmagic Intensity Pro but it has the latest updates. Thanks.

We'd need a bit more info to troubleshoot this, but here's a few things to check:
Is there enough space on the destination you're encoding to?
Do you have Multiplexing turned on? If so, AME sometimes appears unresponsive during this phase. If the freeze is happening after the encoding progress bar has completed, try an export with Multiplexing turned off and see if encoding completes. If so, you may just need to wait a bit longer for Multiplexing to finish.
Try exporting with GPU turned off, if it works the problem might be related to your video card
Try exporting directly out of Premiere, not thru AME

Best way to import Mpeg-2 Video

I have a load of Mpeg-2 video that was encoded on my friends windows computer, is there an easy (and preferably free) way to import the video into iMovie without the quality degrading?

I'm almost certain that you need the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component. MPEG Streamclip requires it, so I'm sure it's required to do anything with MPEG-2. http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
Use Quicktime Player either on the PC or Mac to determine if the file is a muxed file. On the Mac open the file in Quicktime Player and open the Movie Inspector window (command-i) or Window -> Show Movie Inspector. You will have to find where it's located on the PC (maybe alt-i).
In the Inspector window you will see Format which will include "Muxed" in the description. Muxed means that the Audio and Video are combined into one data stream. For some reason Quicktime Pro doesn't let you directly export the video with audio from muxed files. It takes a 3rd party program like Streamclip to separate the audio and video and recombine them into a different format.
I have a feeling that your files are not muxed and you only need the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component to get it to work. If you can get iMovie to import it then you can export it. Quicktime Pro may not export it for you. You can blame all this on patents and license fees.
Best of luck

Problems importing .mpeg files

when i import mpeg files into final cut, the video plays, but no sounds come out. so even when i put it into the timeline, there's no audio track. am i doing something wrong?

I thought his question was that his video was playing but he couldn't hear any music, if he downloaded his music from i-tunes which comes in a mpeg-4 file, final cut pro does not support the mpeg-4 he will have to change it over into a aiff file to make it work, I believe that is what he was asking but maybe I am wrong.

Problems importing mpegs in PE4

Right... I use Pinnacle Studio Plus to capture mpegs and save these down. Often I need to edit these clips.
I try and import them into Premier Elements to edit and they are just plain green videos with the sound. If I play the video clip in windows media player there is no problem.
Please can someone explain why this happens?

MPEG-4 Video on ipod shows blue and white checkerboard lines

when displayed on ipod. These lines are vertical and seem to go away when the screen is lighter colored, or if the video is playing in fast forward.
itunes purchased videos in my ipod seem to play without this problem, but videos I have created using multiple MPEG 4 formats have this error.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Although it could be a problem with your files, let's try the iPod's end of thigns first.
Are you upgraded to the latest firmware on your iPod? (1.2.1 is the latest).
Try reloading the videos onto your iPod, by deleting them off of it, reconnecting your iPod to your computer, and transferring them to the iPod again.
Also, you could try restoring your iPod, and see if that helps with the screen displaying issue.
For instructions on restoring, see this:

Advice needed on importing photos and videos onto iPod.

Hi,
I am off travelling round the world for 6 months next year. I love taking a riducolous amount of pics and I was wondering what the best device to get them onto my ipod is. Also i want to be able to import videos as well. I have a sony T9 and the upgraded 5th gen iPod.
Thanks

Hi, I did some research and figured it out, and thought I'd post my results here in case it can help someone else someday.
There are two ways to get photos out of Picasa: Exporting and Backing Up.
If you export photos, they all show up flattened-out in one folder. While this would technically work, the downside is iPhoto will suddenly have thousands of photos added to it and I'm not really sure how it will figure out the events (I didn't try importing into iPhoto yet).
If you use Picasa's Backup feature (Tools->Back up pictures) then all the photos show up with their folder hierarchies preserved. So for example you could end up with a folder containing the following folders and photos.
Vacation Photos
Vacation Photos/Hawaii 2009/
Vacation Photos/Hawaii 2009/pic1.jpg
Vacation Photos/Hawaii 2009/pic2.jpg
Vacation Photos/New York 2008/
Vacation Photos/New York 2008/pic1.jpg
Vacation Photos/New York 2008/pic2.jpg
etc.
From what I've read, if the "Vacation Photos" folder is imported into iPhoto, the folder names will be used as events, so in this example you'll end up with a "Hawaii 2009" event and a "New York 2008" event, which is nice.
As far as Picasa's Backup tool goes, it will create one or more top-level folders with names starting with a dollar sign. These represent the top-level folders containing photos. On the computer I tested this on I ended up with $Desktop, $My Documents, and $My Pictures, because all the photos on this computer were inside of the Desktop, My Documents, and My Pictures folders (and their children).
So in a nutshell, if you want to migrate from Picasa on Windows to iPhoto, just use Picasa's "Back Up Pictures" menu item if you want to preserve the folder hierarchy of your photos. Oh, one last thing: this feature doesn't let you back up to the same hard drive as the photos, so just share a folder on either your Mac or your PC and then back up to that folder.
Hope somebody finds this information useful.
