RAM after video conversion

While I am converting a video file the size of said file is taken up in system memory as inactive RAM. Even after conversion is finished and I've deleted the created file the space as inactive memory is taken up, just wondering why and what I have to do to clear it.

Inactive memory is basically a handy storage space for convenient access to your most used tools. Let’s say you were working in iPhoto and decide to quit it. Some of the information that was stored in active memory by this application will be moved to inactive memory. This way, when you open iPhoto next time it will load up faster than before.
It will be cleared upon reboot, or you can use a utility like "iFreeMem".

How can I change the default video conversion applied when I copy an AVI file from my PC to my Android HTC One M8 phone?

Here's the situation...
I have an Android HTC One M8 phone which I connect via USB cable to my PC, then I use Windows Explorer to drag and drop an AVI file from my PC onto a target folder on the phone. When I would do this after I had first purchased my phone a message box
would come up with the heading "Convert and Copy" and ask me "Do you want to convert <filename> before it's copied to your device?" and give me the options "Yes, convert and copy (recommended)" or "No, just
copy Your file will be copied, but might not play on your device."
If I chose to convert it converted the file to MP4. No problem, that's what I wanted.
The problem I now have is that after doing some work with other video applications a while ago where I was outputting WMV files I now find that the default conversion for the above described copy from PC to Android phone now converts files to WMV.
I simply want it to go back to converting video files copied to my phone as MP4, but I can't seem to find where I can set this!
It appears that the copy/conversion process in Explorer is being handled in the "Portable Devices Shell Extension" dll - WPDSHEXT.DLL
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to set the default video conversion back to MP4 ???
Thanks

Thanks Rob.
I actually had no clue what the core problem was caused by. So it's Windows itself...that helps some.
I'll resubmit there. It might actually have saved time for it to simply have been moved to there instead of off-topic, though I suppose you have to follow protocol.

Hotshot video conversion resolution? No full screen ever?

I have the Pantech Hotshot. The screen resolution of the phone is 400wide x 240high. When I convert a video to that resolution the phone always reduces it to 320 wide instead of filling the screen to the 400 wide and makes the 240 high even smaller. If I convert the video to a larger size it makes the video on screen even smaller. The only video resolution that works decent is 320x240 which fills the screen top to bottom but leaves black bars right and left. If its the phone software that's doing it than what's the point of having a screen 400x240 if you can never view a video in that screen filling resolution? And the video player has no option to zoom or fill the screen. What is the best resolution to convert a video to view on this phone to fill the screen completely like every phone I've ever had was able to do? Thanks

"The screen resolution of the phone is 400wide x 240high.

If I convert the video to a larger size it makes the video on screen even smaller."
I think you have not found the solution to your situation. We have a non-smartphone (Samsung u370) that, like your phone, has a screen resolution of 400x240 and, like your phone, seemingly won't play a video at the correct resolution when the video is a resolution that exceeds 320x240.
On this u370 phone while playing a video, there are icons on the screen one of which looks like an "X" with arrows at the end of each of the ends of the "X". Tapping this icons causes the video player to expand the video so that now it's playing at the full horizontal resolution of 400.
The video player on our flip phones works the same way. Our LG vx8370 has a 320x240 screen. When I play a 320x240 video, initially the video players plays the video at a resolution of 240 x something. When I push up on the directional pad, then the phone expands the video and then plays it at 320x240.
One more thing. My experience on two different Verizon non-smartphones is the same when it comes to playing widescreen videos -- when I play a video of a resolution such that I have to select the option to expand the video so that the video is playing at the full horizontal resolution of the video, the video player won't show the correct vertical resolution of the widescreen video. Instead, the video player stretches the video to fill the vertical resolution of the phone's screen. While that is tolerable to me for a 16x9 video, my preference is that I find a stretched 2.35:1 video to look unwatchable. The only way that I can preserve the aspect ratio of the widescreen video is to use a video conversion tool that lets me pad the video with blank lines. FFmpeg and mencoder are two tools that have this padding option. So this is what I came up with. Suppose I have a 16:9 widescreen video. The video would need to be about 400x224. Since the video player software on the Verizon non-smartphones will play incorrectly by showing a video stretched to fill the whole screen, I'll need to use the padding command in ffmpeg and add 16 blank lines -- 8 lines above the video and 8 lines below the video. The ffmpeg command for that is
scale=400:224,pad=400:240:0:8
ffmpeg will scale the video to 400x224. The pad command tells ffmpeg that the converted video will have a total of 240 vertical lines of which 224 are the video and 16 of which are blank lines. The "8" tells ffmpeg how to center the video -- there'll be 8 lines above the video and 8 lines below the video.
Since ffmpeg uses a command line interface, two free graphic user interfaces for ffmpeg that I like are Avanti and Pazera:
http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Avanti
http://www.pazera-software.com/products/audio-extractor/
Pazera uses an older version of ffmpeg which can be updated after installing pazera by, if I remember correctly, just deleting the older ffmpeg file and replacing it with the new one.

Compressor Simple Video Conversion

I simply want to covert QuickTime video to Real Media or Windows Media... the instructions for this are nothing but a maze of run around confusion.... "add plug-ins" that can't be found... compressor won't let me select Real Media as a choice even though Real Media shows up in the applications section.
I am extremely sorry I invested in a Mac after years of successful, simple video conversion on my old pc. I needed a new machine because my pc was getting old. My Mac experience from sales, consultation and beyond has been an absolute pain in the... kester!!!

Hi:
You can use Flip4Mac to encode to WMV:

Video conversion work on Mac OSX slows system

Hi All,
Often when I do encoding or video conversion work, I feel that my Macbook Pro isn't the same efficient machine
it was before this kinds of work. Usually before video conversions, the Macbook system works fairly quick and responds
well including much less processing (colour circle) seen.
Is there any maintenance work to do right after these sorts of video conversion works on Macbook ?
Could fixing permissions do the trick ?

What changed on your Mac between now and the time when that video conversion worked as fast as it once did?
Here are some suggestions for what to do for a slow Mac. They predate Lion, so the things that are recommended may not all still work.
By the way, your system details mention OS X 10.6.7 while you posted your message in the Lion section. Either you should update your system details or post in the Snow Leopard section.

Is my video conversation hacked?

Hi
I was having a video conversation with my gf and after that she has been getting random add requests from many people. This is scary because she never got any requests in the past and it started happening only after the video chat. I fear our conversation was hacked and recorded by some hacker. I also suspect that her machine was not completely secure as later when she tried to change her account information and privacy options, skype closed unexpectedly several times and changes didnt get saved. Although, she has an Antivirus installed and a complete scan yielded no suspicious virus/malware. I cant think of any other reason why a person at the other end of world is able to find her account.
I am really very scared that the video could be leaked on porn sites if it may have been recorded. Is there a way to ascertain this? Need help on this urgently.

Itunes - video conversion - no sound

I have several videos of my family I have taken with my Sony digital camera (with sound) I would like to load on my ipod video.
I followed the directions on:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302892 and http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302509
but after this conversion - the videos have no sound!
Help! What am I missing or...?

MacBook Pro shuts off during video conversion/heavy CPU usage

I'm not quite sure how to troubleshoot this, and I'm curious if anyone has experienced this, or has any suggestions.
Whenever I do a video conversion, about 10 minutes in, my MacBook Pro just shuts off. Some examples of the kind of video conversions I'm doing are, exporting an EyeTV recording to iTunes, or converting a video already in iTunes to AppleTV or iPod/iPhone. Both of these examples are using Quicktime, I'm assuming?
I did a clean reinstall of Tiger, and the problem was still there. And, after upgrading to Leopard, the problem is still there.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Could be due to overheating. Install iStat Menus, show CPU use, CPU temp, and fan speed in the menu bar, and start converting. If CPU use is pegged, fans are at 6000 rpm, and temp rises to/above 90 C, then your MBP shuts off, that's the issue.
There are some early models of MBPs that had too much thermal paste, leading to excessive heat build up.

Is there a way to shorten iMovie video conversion ?

I am starting with a "m2ts" video file.
I purchased a video conversion program from the Mac App Store.   It is called “AnyVideo converter HD". It is well reviewed.
So, I dropped in my "m2ts" file. I set the conversion to "Computer MOV 720p HD". "AnyVideo converter HD" converted a 1 minute video in about 15 seconds to a "mov".   The converted file had excellent picture quality and sound, it played perfectly using QuickTime.
When I dropped this 60 second clip into iMovie 06 (set for 720p) it's conversion process took 35 minutes ?!?!   The result was flawless! However, a two-hour video conversion would not be complete until about the time Capt. Kirk joins Starfleet.
How can I speed this up ?

baltwo - thank you for the expert advice.
I did as you instructed and the situation is better but I don't believe it's solved.
I still get 3 versions of Photoshop when I right click on a PSD. I also get Dashcode and Textwrangler - which are the oddest associations. All together I get 25 apps responding to "Open With" on a PSD. And this is an improvement.
Do you think I would get even better results if I ran the same command again?
Thanks again.

ZEN Vision M 30GB Video Conversion problem: black scr

My husband cannot display any video on his ZEN Vision M 30 GB. Any video converted comes over with ONLY audio, black screen (? no video display )This happened with the original firmware and software. I updated firmware and did all available software updates; no change. I had a previous ZEN Vision M 30GB, which did not have any problem with video conversion and display.Are there any known problems with specific Media Player versions, or QuickTime ?which may be a potential cause of this problem?( I have heard that this product works best with Media Player 9. )Anyone had similar problems, or have any ideas?Thanks,Ravenquille

Problem apparently solved: Last night, I downloaded and installed the free program, SUPER. My husband has not had a problem so far; been working beautifully! Ravenquille

Can't get video conversation to work

Cascading prompts are not working after UNX conversion.

Hi,
We have converted universe to UNX format, but after conversion the cascading prompts are not working. Following is the one of the example of the cascading prompt which is having issue:
We have cascading object named u201CGroup - Deviceu201D as below:
CONCAT(CONCAT(@select(Performance Management\Group\Group Name),' - '),@select(Performance Management\Device\Device Name))
In the SQL Assistance windows, validate button properly validates this object.
Based on the above object, we have filter named u201CEnter/Select Group u2013 Deviceu201D with following definition:
@select(Performance Management\Performance Reporting Objects\Performance Custom Dimensions\Group - Device) In @prompt('Enter/Select Device Names','A','Performance Management\Performance Reporting Objects\Performance Custom Dimensions\Group - Device',Multi,Free,Not_Persistent)
When I click on the validate button for this filter, it doesnu2019t says whether the expression invalid or valid. It does not return anything. I checked the error log windows of IDT and it shows below error once we validate the above filter:

This problem is for all the cascading prompts, and only single level prompts are working after conversion to UNX.
Can anyone please help on this? Am I missing any manual changes which are mandatory after UNX conversion for this to work.
Thanks,
Nilesh

Hi Henry,
Thanks for your reply. Yes I have raised SAP ticket for this.
We are at BI 4.0 SP2 Patch 12.
This problem is for all the cascading prompts which created using objects which are having u201CLOV based on Query Panelu201D, it doesnu2019t return the results, when I edit the LOV > edit the query and then click refresh to see the data, the refresh button does not appear.
So I tried creating u201CLOV based on a custom hierarchyu201D as indicated in SAP note u2013 1666504 but it also doesnu2019t work. I used the object (that uses the LOV based on a custom hierarchy) to create the new cascading prompt, when I used this prompt in WEBI report, it only displays prompts for first value and not the second based on first input.
I searched SAP KB and found this note u2013 u201C1620378 - Cascading (nested) prompts are not working for Web Intelligence reports in BI 4u201D which describes bug related to cascading prompts in unv as well as unx. But I am not sure if itu2019s the same which I am getting.
Thanks,
Nilesh

Wrong text in ADRC and LFA1 table after Unicode conversion

Hello,
We are doing MDMP to Unicode on SAP 4.7 system.
In post unicode activities,we had corrected the garbage characters in
table ADRC
by converting to target langauage ZH using SUMG t-code.
Condition used for addind table ADRC in SUMG is LANGU ='1' and
LANGU_CREA = 'EN'
But after converting and saving the data,most of the records have
incorrect character in word.
and text field of search term/company name/city in table LFA1 are also
wrong in correspond field in table ADRC.
Thanks
Harshavardhan

Hi Harshavardhan,
Assumption: You have Chinese entries in table ADRC with ADRC-LANGU_CREA = EN
Now you have to distinguish two problems:
1) Chinese texts are stored in ADRC fields, which are NOT used for search help texts (most of the fields - e.g. ADRC-NAME1):
These texts can be handled in two ways:
a) Change LANGU_CREA = EN to LANGU_CREA = ZH for these entries (e.g. where ADRC-COUNTRY = CN) before the Unicode conversion (by the way, I would not use ADRC-LANGU, since this is the communication language, which does not necessarily comply with the code page of the entry).
This needs to be done in a similar way as shown in z-reports described in SAP Note 634839 ( although this specific fool-the-system case is not covered there - you have to adapt those examples)
b) Use SUMG to repair the entries using language ZH (as you already did)
My favourite would be a), as this can be done before the conversion (Note that SUMG ineeds to be executed during downtime !)
2) Chinese texts are stored in ADRC fields, which are used for search help texts (e.g. ADRC-MC_NAME1):
a) If these entries were inserted / changed with logon language ZH, then point 1) applies
b) If users logged on with logon language EN and created the entries, then most of these texts are destroyed already in Non-Unicode system. Then there is no automatic repair possible (at least point 1 does not work). Here my statement from before is valid:
Those entries need to be generated again - e.g. if you do a dummy change on the name.
According to my knowledge, this is a manual effort (either before or after the conversion) - but maybe it can be automized ...
Best regards,
Nils Buerckel

Video Conversations with PC

I found similar questions, but I still am not clear on this topic. How can an iMac have a video conversation with people using PC's?? (Without having to pay for AOL on their side {AIM}, or having to sign up with AOL or Javver on my side).
iMac & MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9)
iMac & MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hi,
AIM is actually free to use for both Mac and Windows PC.
(There's no need to sign up for the AOL service). You can register for an AIM screen name on this page. Once you have registered, ignore it when it asks you do download the AIM client. Instead, configure iChat with your new screen name.
As an alernative to iChat, you could use Skype, which is a free download for Mac and PC.
Both programs have their ins and outs. I would suggest trying both to see which one works best. I hope this helps!
Thanks,
Glen

Video after video

Hi All,
I'll having a video presentation thru Keynote soon. Get ready the slides now.
I'm wondering, do keynote possible to play a video after a video automatically? Just like video in slide 2 will auto play after video in slide 1 stopped then? Or, Arrow right is the only way to command the slide?
Thanks for confirmation.

You can set a slide transition to occur automatically after the last slide build.
To get the slide one transition to happen after the video is finished, inside Inspector > Slide > Transition, set the slide transition to start automatically and set a delay time to that of the length of the video. This is assuming nothing else is going on in Slide one, other than the playing of the video.
