Question about uploading videos/movies

hi guys and gals
i just recently bought a 30GB ipod video for my little cousin and he asked me a question that i do not have an answer to.
he knows how to upload music from his itunes to his ipod (drag music into the ipod icon) but he can't figure out how to upload movies/videos.
i know that the format of the video has to be quicktime or something that is compatible with mac. he uses windows and i believe his videos are AVI or some weird nonesense.
can you please, in easy steps, tell me how to upload videos into the ipod? thanks!

Upload videos same way you do songs-just drag them over if you haven't enabled autoupdate.
Videos have to be in a specific format, found under iPod tech specs on apple website.
Here:
H.264 video: up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats

  • Questions about Air Video.

    Hi, I have a couple of questions about Air Video for the Ipad. I have my Mac Pro downstairs and my PC upstairs. Does the Ipad have to be near the computer in order for the videos to play on the Ipad? I have a bunch of videos on my external hard drive. Would it work if I have an external hard drive plugged into the computer or do the videos need to be on the computer itself?

    Air video will convert the video for streaming, this includes downscaling it, so it will stream smoothly over the bandwidth available on the network.
    Placing media directly on the ipad allows 720p video.
    Reality is you will not be able to tell the difference between dvd resolution and hi def on a screen the size of the iPad's.

  • Uploading Videos/Movies

    How do I upload UNpurchased videos or movies to iTunes? Can I use Windows Media Player to rip movies or videos I already own? If so, how do I do this? If this isn't possible and I have to purchase some kind of other program, which is best? Thanks in advance!

  • Question about upload file to sever in jsp.

    i found some articles about upload file in jsp, and most of suggested that the third party classes will be used.
    but i want to know the basic technology behind them, for example what kind of class needed ( using java.io.* as usual)
    and what the process for writing a file to sever.
    any document or url link useful will be very welcomed.
    best regards

    Uploading a file is similar to sending any other kind of data, except that it must be encoded differently than a standard HTML form... Typically you will set up your form like this:
    <form action="/upload" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST">
    <input type="file" name="myFile">
    </form>
    The enctype declaration is necessary -- your file won't arrive intact any other way. However, the JSP/Servlet specs don't provide any code to deal with forms which are encoded this way, so things like request.getParameter() don't work. You will either have to roll your own code, or use a third party library.
    For more information, see RFC 1867, File upload in HTTP:

  • Comprehensive overview/question about organizing videos and movies

    I've made a few movies here and there in the original iMovie, have made a fair amount of home movies using FCE. I have 20 years worth of videos scattered around on HI-8 formatting and some videos I downloaded from a hand held digital cheapo-movie cam. I'm to the point of trying to figure out the big picture on importing, structuring, storing, and sharing these files between iMovie, FCEHD 3.5.1, mobileme, my iPhone, etc.
    I'm now wanting to start uploading movies to gallery.me.com. I started doing some of this before I got cancer last year. I'm basically restarting this whole process now that I'm beyond the rigors of chemotherapy and I'm trying to make a systematic approach to managing video files and already made movies. I have a lot of questions and would appreciate any insight you can offer in this discussion forum or if you recommend I copy this over to another discussion forum. I'm not sure to even begin hot to explain all this, so be patient as I try to start this process.
    #1 - I've tried using iMovie 8 in the past. I ended up, somehow, with clips here, there, and who knows where. The original iMovie seemed rather straight forward and seemed to work in conjunction with iPhoto rather seamlessly. As iMovie made that big change some time back, I quickly backed out of using that program to manage clips as I couldn't find where they were stored and more importantly, they seemed to start disappearing after time. Is iMove 08 a good resource to manage clips or is it a bit of a dead end for people who are using various programs such as FCE and so forth? Seems the transparency of how the newer iMovie manages files is a bit not-so-transparent to me anymore and I simply am not finding many of the files in iMovie 08 that I can easily spot in iPhoto. Not sure what has happened there, but I can find the files in iPhoto and browse them, but NOT in iMovie 08. Help?
    #2 - the only real reason I'm asking about iMovie at all is that I want to start uploading files from HI-8 tapes into my computer rather quickly and make simple basically unedited videos of what is on the Hi-8 tapes, then perhaps transport onto mobileme and/or make some DVD's. I did a few of those somehow before the cancer/chemo deal, but can't really recall the exact steps I took. Rough bout with cancer last year and my brain is a bit fried to be honest, not to mention all of this is a big hard to grasp deal for a RN who isn't trained in video stuff at this point in his life. Besides, I ended up having to reinstall my entire OS - long story. Bottom line, the few movies I do have on mobileme are in .m4v format. Not a big deal when using my mac at home, but notice that it causes iTunes to load onto my pc's at work or when visiting friends. Slow, clunky, and not sure how it wound up in that format. I'm thinking I did that somehow through iMovie or Quicktime 7 Pro. Before I go that route again, I need to ask about #3.
    #3 - I just exported my first high definition video from FCE. I did so because we got our first new TV in 22 years, nice HD flat screen. I'm wanting to start understanding options for exporting videos onto mobileme. I got Quicktime Pro 7 and used the H264 or some option like that (file>share). It was able to take 1.5 gig high def video I did over my cancer journey and put it seamlessly onto mobileme. But it is in the .m4v video option which seems to cause some people and computers problems because of the whole proprietary iTunes angle. Is there a way around this being forced to use iTunes and simply share to mobileme gallery using .mov? I tried the file>export option, seems to want to use movie folder and I'm guessing that is another iTunes deal.
    #4 - as I load files into my computer from HI-8 format and the newer cheap little HD dual SD card camera I got, those seem to either want to go into iMovie's folders (which I mentioned my confusion about above) or I can manually put them into a file structure that I'm slowly learning to build using FCE. I don't mind the FCE option and it seems logical. I still run into the problem of how to share web based content of the videos. Using iDVD is rather straightforward, but I'm wanting to use some kind of web centric approach to sharing my videos on the output and have one big file structure for organizing my files/videos on the input.
    I notice that iMovie has many exporting/sharing options in its menu. Are they really any different/better/worse than what I have with quicktime Pro 7? Should I even try to utilize iMovie at all or simply go with the capture option on FCE? I at least can find the files and organize them with FCE.
    I'm not sure how to further word this at the moment as I'm trying to better understand all this as I'm moving forward.
    Any suggestions you might have at this point would be most beneficial. I'm sure as I get further into this, I'll start clarifying my own questions and thoughts.
    Any resources you can point me to for newer (but not totally new) to video structure input/exporting on the mac?
    Thanks,
    Robert

    Robert,
    A lot of questions, perhaps to much to go into detail but,
    I can second the views of AppleMan
    Since iMovie 08 I finally am able to organize and categorize my clips in an easy way. Just recently I made a DvD for one of my grandchildren containing a selection of events from over the last to years. Really a joy (not only the kid ). This would have been a much larger job without that.
    When I like to do real "sophisticated" movie editing I use FCE and pick up the clips from the eventsfolder from iMovie.
    Of course if you are happy with FCE for organizing (I found that a bit hard), you always can use the File->export-> quicktime movie feature and use Quicktime for uploading to mobileme or use the File->export->Quicktime conversion function.
    Also within iMovie you can use the: share ->export with Quicktime, and use that to export your movie in the format you prefer.

  • QT pro question about direct video capture to mov file

    I am thinking about buying QT pro because I would like to record video directly from my Sony mini DV camcorder to a QT file. Can you control the destination of the QT file being created to a second HD or flash drive? I don't want to capture video and fragment my macbook pros HD. Second can you control the size of video being captured? I don't need to have full screen video and would like to save HD space on my secondary drive.
    Thanks for any help.

    Can you control the destination of the QT file being created to a second HD or flash drive?Yes, see the "Preferences > Recording > Save Files to:" option.
    I don't want to capture video and fragment my macbook pros HD. Second can you control the size of video being captured?Size is tied to the "Quality:" pop-up options. (Good -- 320 x 240 MPEG-4 video and AAC @ 128 Kbps, Better -- 320 x 240 H.264vide and AAC @ 128 Kbps, and Devie Native -- raw DV audio and video standard.)

  • Basic question about Flash video. Please Help

    Hello,
    Sorry for the noob question but I'm struggling with the basic
    understanding about the Flash video.
    I just need to reduce a large video file to a small size with
    a nice quality and the Flash Video Encoder does very god job with
    that. But when I double click the compressed .flv file it opens as
    a blank screen in the stand alone player without playing any video.
    I can use Dreamweaver to produce a web page playing the file, but I
    don't need this file for posting it on a web page, I just want the
    file smaller and to simply play it on my computer or send it to
    others.
    What is the way to do this?
    I appreciate your help.

    It sounds like you're not having problems with the actual
    compression of the videos, just the playback, correct? All you need
    is a standalone player that plays FLVs. Like Quicktime Player plays
    MOVs, and Windows Media Player plays WMVs, you need something to
    play the FLV files. There are many free options available. On a
    mac, I use something called, strangely enough, SWF & FLV
    Player. You can find it here:
    http://mac.eltima.com/freeflashplayer.html
    Just do a search for FLV players and you should find
    something appropriate. The only downside is you'll need to make
    sure anyone you're distributing the videos to also has an FLV
    player. If you're sending your files to just a few people, no big
    deal. If this is for the public in general, you would want to embed
    a Flash video player in an HTML page and send it like that.
    Hope that helps.

  • Urgent question about resizing videos in Adobe Premiere

    Hello, forgive me for asking such a noob question but i have a presentation due in about 10 hrs and Adobe Premiere is giving me some headaches with the video i'm trying to make!
    I am trying to alter the dimensions of a movie in the 'monitor' window (the objective being to put 2 different movies side by side in the same timeline, but that's irrelevent). Screenshot is below
    http://s5.largeimagehost.com/display...sXUF&skey=nv28
    I've seen it being done before - their should be a border around the frame in the 'Sequence 01' tab that lets you resize it with your mouse. But It's not appearing for me... . is their some hot key or something..? It's probably something really obvious but i can't find it...

    You will also find links to many free tutorials in the
    Premiere Pro Wiki that will quickly
    show you how things are done in PPro, including picture-in-picture effects.
    Cheers

  • Help uploading videos/movies to iTunes

    I'm not sure exactly how to add my own movies to my iTunes library so that I can put them on my iPod. I watched the video on the help page, but it just touches mainly on adding music...please help, I really want to add my POTC2 movie on it!
    Is there a program that I have to convert the movies into in order to upload to my library?

    le sigh...as in the program must have some sort of vendetta against me lol..
    I open the program, click the transcode video button, select the wmv or mpeg file, then 2 secs pass and all the program does is create an avs file (avisynth file)...so I read in a post on another site to try and convert the avs file...I click the transcode button, select the avs file, and then after 2 secs no conversion file is made...I have checked the appropriate output folder and sadly nothing...
    I have been battling with my dilema for about three days now...you are the first person actually trying to help me so thanks a bunch!

  • Basic question about importing/exporting movies

    Hi all! I'm a complete novice with Flash (and moviemaking). I used it many years ago, but haven't used it in a long, long time. Flash may not even be the program I need... so let me know if that's the case.
    Basically, I shot a video with my camera. It is a .mov file. I imported it into iMovie and edited it. Then I exported it as a .mov file. I want to embed the video into a web page. As far as I can tell, in Dreamweaver it needs to be a .swf file. But I don't think I can export an swf file from iMovie. So I read online I could convert my file using Flash.
    I followed directions I found online, but though it seems to be working... it's not. Here's what I did:
    I opened a new file in Flash. I used the default type. I clicked on the timeline and went to File > Import > Import movie (using all the default choices).
    I broused to find the .mov file. I clicked Next.
    I chose a skin that was the default (Minimal Flat Custom Color Play Back See CounterV...). Clicked Next. Clicked Finish.
    A little movie player is now on my Flash screen.
    I started adding frames (F5). I see frames are added in the timeline.
    But... when I go to play the movie... it DOES play... but the screen is black.
    I see I CAN export it as a swf file... but since I can't see the movie when I play it, I'm guessing it's not working (the tutorial I was using said I should be able to see it at this point).
    So... am I going about this the completely wrong way? Why is it not working? Thanks for helping me out.
    julie
    PS I'm using Flash Professional CC v. 13.0.0.759 on an iMac

    open your mov file in adobe media encoder.  save to flv or f4v.
    open flash pro, add an flvplayback component to the stage and assign its source (using a relative, not absolute path) to be your flv or f4v.  test.
    when you have that working you can publish a swf and html.  use the html code to embed the swf in your web page.
    p.s. you'll need to upload the flv/f4v, the swf the html file that contains the embedding code AND, if you use an flvplayback skin, that skin.

  • Easy Question about resizing video

    I searched 'Resizing Video' and there was too many unrelated results to a really simple question.
    In my old program "Premiere', to resize and move a video around was very easy. You could adjust the scale and X-Y values numerically, or you could use a Free Transform like in Photoshop. Simply dragging bounding boxes for size and aspect and also dragging the clip to decide it's location.
    The only way I know how to do this in FCP is I double click a clip in the sequence, it loads into the viewer, I go to the Motion Tab and then I can adjust the Scale, which is cool. But then I'm left with the Distort section to adjust position (and aspect if need be). In the Distort section there are 8 numeric fields of info to figure out and fill out just to get one clip in a different position correctly.
    I'm thinking there must be another way to adjust the location (or aspect) of a video clip without spending a bit of time on exact coordinates, I want to eye-ball where I want the clip to go and simply move it there. Is the Distort feature the only way to do this? If not, which is the fastest way to move and change the dimension of a clip.
    Thanks for reading, I hope there is another way, I'm not use to these calculations and they're slowing me down.
    Monty

    I searched 'Resizing Video' and there was too many unrelated results to a really simple question.
    That's because it's not a simple question at all and yet every one of those threads was related to the OP's question. As you discovered, there are lots of ways to interpret "resize," during capture, editing, effects, output, viewing, encoding, printing. But the solution was even simpler than you thought. All you had to do was open the manual or the online help system. Start taking the manuals to the gym with you. FCP is not Premiere. You're going to hate FCP, you're going to love FCP but it will never behave like Premiere beyond the elements of the functional paradigm. Forget Premiere.

  • Question about posting video in iWeb

    hi, I'm having problems with a video that's I've put on a page in iWeb. it's a quicktime mp4 of about 52 megs.
    but godaddy.com does not see the video on some sites, and on others it boots very slowly
    is that too big a video to post?
    should I do a webstreaming export?
    any ideas?
    Michael

    Dragging a video file onto an iWeb page is not the best way to go since the movie file has to download with the web page. If you want to depend on the QuickTime plugin, you are better using one of the methods shown on this page...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/Poster-Movie.html
    To make sure it plays in all browsers its better to use a fallback code...

    Export your movie as H.264, fast start for internet streaming so that the movie can start to play before the whole file downloads in the browser.

  • General question about uploading web apps

    i have my site completed and it works on the testing server
    without a glitch. i've uploaded static sites before without a
    hitch, but i'm not so certain about web apps. seems when you upload
    the site with dw, it uploads the html and php . . . but then there
    are the tables from the db. uploading them and getting them to hook
    up all over again . . . how do you do that? can someone review the
    steps please. thanks.

    something like this:
    1. check your remote server has phpMyAdmin installed and the
    URL to
    access it (phpMyAdmin is a web app written in PHP and you
    access it
    through a browser)
    2. download and install phpMyAdmin locally
    3. run phpMyAdmin, usually
    http://localhost/phpMyAdmin,
    but the url will
    vary depending the installation and your development
    platform.
    export your local DB; phpMyAdmin will create a file named by
    default
    "localhost.sql". depending your browser configuratioon you
    can change
    the file name/choose where to save
    4. run phpMyAdmin in the remote server and import your DB
    just choosing
    the file in step 3
    later you can export/import tables instead the full DB. if
    you're
    reimporting the DB remember to check the "Add DROP DATABASE"
    checkbox
    when exporting
    you can't see any files in the server with phpMyAdmin, it's
    only a
    visual interface to the MySQL server. keep using DW to
    create/modify/upload html, js and php files

  • Urgen question about uploading clips (the 1000th post about it probably)

    I uploaded a video which was in .mpg format. Imovie says that .mpg is incompatible for imovie, so i converted the video into an .avi format which does allow it. The problem is when i directly upload an .avi video into imovie it uploads perfectly and i can see it in the event, but when i convert the video into a compatible video format, it loads but it wont show up in the event. Please help me, and if you do not understand the question then please inform me so i can rephrase it. Thank you very much

    im using any video converter, but whatever i convert it to, it ends up doing the same thing

  • Questions about ipod video

    hi, im going to buy an ipod video, but i just need to be sure its good...i just have a question to every1 that had 1, is it good/worth buying?
    and for how long can you watch movies on it till the batterie ends?

    If you want a system that can hold all your CD's, listen to audiobooks on, download podcasts of the latest news, carry your family pictures and display them with music on a TV, and have the ability to watch your DVD's or downloaded movies on, then the video Ipod is right for you.
    If you want a mp3 player that will NOT get scratched up if you stick it in your pocket, want a mp3 player that you can do extreme exercising with, or want to be able to load DVD's on it without taking the time to experiment and tweak the programs necessary to do it, the the video ipod is NOT for you.
