Re-Downloading videos at the higher quality

Is there a way to do this? I read that there was but I looked through the menus and found nothing. I'd like to upgrade my 320X240 videos to the 640x480 resolution.
Please help!

Yes I'd like this too. The album artwork is free, so an upgrade to the higher-quality videos should be as well.

What is the best video converter for high quality MPEG-4 for Apple TV?

What is the best video converter for high quality MPEG-4 for Apple TV?

Handbrake won't convert AVI files, But there are many more than those mentioned that will
The choice of conversion software is a personal choice, I have around a dozen applications that will tackle AVI's, however VisualHub is not one of them, not because there is anything wrong with it but rather I have enough such applications in my arsenal already.
I would use mpegstreamclip in most scenarios for what you are wanting to do but maybe not always. It is a good idea to have a few applications to choose from as not all do the same thing. mpegstreamclip has a few more options than some bog standard applications without becoming overburdening with choices.
You might want to try a few applications yourself before deciding on the software for you. isquint is a free limited version of visualhub, you might want to give that a whirl to get a feeling for visualhub.
Be aware though that quality conversions do not happen quickly, claims of being faster than other applications may well be correct, but are usually a trade off against quality. Again you need to choose your software to reflect your preferred balance between speed and quality.
Here's how I use mpegstreamclip, http://web.me.com/gartside1104/z008/Mpegstreamclip.html but your AVI's may well be low quality, you shouldn't set the bitrate any higher than your source file and likely lower, you shouldn't increase the frame size either.

Exported videos not in high quality (Premiere Pro 2.0)

Hi, I'd like to ask for help. When i go to export a video in Premiere Pro 2.0 I get 2 options. Export with File>Export>Movie or File>Export>Adobe Media Encoder.
I have tested out a bunch of export settings and none of the settings (that I've tried) do make my video export in high quality.
Some settings make the video export in blurred low quality, some settings export the video in a way which my media players (VLC & Windows media player) have diffuculty playing back (slow/lagging, kind of like when a video editor has laggy preview) and some settings make the output video have weird lines on them & low quality.
So I want to ask:
1. Wich Project settings to I use for example a 720p video? (when i click "new project" I get a list of choiced and i think that the settings under "Adobe HDV" are the best (just like a friend of mine recommended) (http://s1162.photobucket.com/user/Doctorwhofan2012/media/NewProjectChoiceofSettings.png.ht ml)).
2. Wich method do I use when I want to export my video?
File>Export>Movie or File>Export>Adobe Media Encoder? (http://s1162.photobucket.com/user/Doctorwhofan2012/media/SeveralwaysofexportingtheVideo.pn g.html)
If i choose "Export>Movie" wich settings do I have to apply? (http://s1162.photobucket.com/user/Doctorwhofan2012/media/Export-Movie.png.html)
If I choose "Export>Adobe Media Encoder" wich settings do I have to apply? (http://s1162.photobucket.com/user/Doctorwhofan2012/media/Export-AdobeMediaEncoder.png.html)

How do I download videos from the internet using Adobe?

I have already installed your Flasher in my computer. I want to use it to download videos from the internet. Please help me. I have two email addresses. Both you have. I hope you hear from you. My name is Gomez and my email address is [removed] Hope to hear from you.

Gomez,
I hope you are referring to Flash Player and you have installed it successfully. Ideally, you should be able to view Flash videos available in Internet.
Do you have any issues in viewing videos?
If so, please let us know your operating system (Windows XP, 7 or Mac) and the browser you use (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari).
Also, let us know what you see in the following link: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html

Can I move the High Quality Media folder in Finder?

When importing files for a large project (music festival, 15+ hours of footage) I left the high quality media transcoding option ticked and, with only half the footage in, I have a nearly full disc (external 1TB Lacie little big disc).
I don't intend to use these files until final rendering (I use proxy editing) so can I temporarily move this folder/files off the disc in Finder until I'm ready to use them or will this upset FCP X? Is there a better way to do it within FCP?

If you're going to edit entirely in proxy, there's no point of making optimized media. When you're done editing, switch to original playback. When you export your master file from FCP, it will export ProRes generated from the original media, which is the same as optimizing it. The only factor is if you're going to do color correction and effects in FCP, then you will want to do that on optimized media if you can rather than proxy media. There is no way around that. You will then need the ProRes files at that stage, not when you export.

Problems with downloading videos from the internet....please help

sorry if this the wrong forum to post but I don't know where else to post my issue.
Normally when I download videos from the internet I click on "window" then "activity" then the largest file ie ? of ? (which is the MB file) and it downloads then I use isquint to put it to mp4 format. However now when I do that the file I download says that "video _ts folders can't be directly converted" and there is a button that says "Inadequacy". I can't even download videos from youtube. Any help would be great.
thank you

Other than the videos on YouTube, can you post a link or URL of the videos you having problems with for us to test out for you?
I use Firefox which has quite a few video converter add ons that allows downloads of any type of video from the net. The one I use is called +Flash Video Downloader.+
"Is there anything else I need to have installed in order to be able to download videos?"
The latest versions of the following:
QuickTime
RealPlayer
Flip4Mac
VLC Media Player
Perian (AVI and FLV support)
"I also have divx and 3ivx installed"
You can get rid of those if you have any of the above installed.
" Mac OS X (10.5.2)"
Use Software Update to update your OS which is seriously out of date. The last version of Leopard I believe was either v5.6 or v5.8. Also, update all the other things listed that pertain to the OS & your model computer if applicable to your needs.

Purchasing the higher-quality songs vs. regular quality

My computer just asked me if I wanted to purchase a song in the higher quality and told me where I could disable that feature, but it didn't tell me that the songs would change from $0.99 to $1.39 and now that I want to go back so that it just offers them in standard quality, I can't remember what the name of that higher quality thing was, and I've been looking through my menu bar and can't see anything anywhere about taking it off! What the heck is it again and where do I find it in my menu bar?

Log in to the Store. Click "Account" in the Quick Links area to the right of your Screen.
When you get through to your Apple Account Information page, up the top you'll be seeing "iTunes Plus: Enabled".
Click the "Manage iTunes Plus" button next to that.
Uncheck "Always show me iTunes Plus music and music when available".
Click "Save Changes".
The Apple Account Information will now be saying "iTunes Plus: Disabled".
You'll be back to just seeing the $0.99 selections again.

You can use SnapZ Pro X, which will screen record with sound any animation on the monitor into a QuickTime file, but it's expensive.
If you look for Add-ons for Firefox, there are some that download Flash and YouTube videos to a file on your machine.

How to install
When you click a link, a download of the installer file occurs to your Downloads Folder usually located next to your Trash Can or in your Users Folder.
Open the folder and double click (or File: Open) the download and icon can appear on your desktop which you open and inside is a installer package which you double click on to launch the installer.
OS X will check the download to make sure you intended to start it and that it's not malware it knows about.
Follow the installer instructions to install the software onto your computer and quit when finished.
Some require the browsers to be closed first, others require the machine to be restarted to enable the software.
Once the install is completed, remove any and all downloads from your Download folder, it's safer to keep this folder empty so you can keep track of what appears in there.
Drive by downloads of malware can occur and reside in the Downloads folder, mixing in with files residing there and await your click to install.

About the higher quality iTunes store downloads.

Hi,
I just started purchasing music through the iTunes store 2 days ago. One of my major grievances with the service in the past as a composer/DJ was the poor quality of the encoding (128 kbps). Today, as I purchased 2 additional albums, I noticed a much higher variable encoding rate (generally >220 kbps).
Essentially when an individual pays for music through the iTunes store, that individual is paying for the license to use the song, not so much the song file (media) itself, hence protected media. Is there or will there be any way to re-download the music I already purchased at a higher encoding rate?
Since the iTunes store is offering the same music for the same price, just at a higher quality, I don't see why this wouldn't be an unreasonable request as it is essentially a product exchange. This is obviously an issue that will need to be addressed in the future as average bandwidth among iTunes Store users increases and compression methods increase in quality.
Thanks,
DJ McFly

If you managed to download at something other then 128kbps, you have been fortunate as there may have been some type of issue with the file. Unfortunately, I really speculate as to how you got a higher bitrate download as any speculation on Apple products or services is against the "terms of use" of these forums. The store sells downloads in protected AAC format at 128kbps ONLY, that is All they sell. You will not get a higher bitrate download as a request to re-download will get you 128kbps. Consider yourself lucky, it happened to me one time last summer with an album downloaded in what appears to be AAC 260 VBR, It hasn't EVER happened again & I'm talking about hundreds of dollars spent, after this one specific instance, on other downloads.

Re-download Video's With Higher Resolution?

HT1711 How to download a song in high quality in Itunes?

How to download a high quality song in itunes? because we got a system at school and the quality that i download is not good in skeakers.

If you're referring to songs you're importing from CDs, change the default encoder to use a higher bitrate or Apple Lossless or AIFF and reimport the CDs. The format and bitrate of songs obtained from other sources are fixed; while it's sometimes useful to convert a song to a different format, it will not improve the song's quality.

How can I view ipod touch HD video with the same quality on a different device such as my computer?

Video recorded on Ipod touch 4G appears "HD" as advertised when viewed on the Ipod. Why does it not have anywhere near the same quality when viewed on a computer?

How are you judging the quality on another device? HD is defined by the number of pixels

Unable to download videos from the music store

Hi, thanks for the help. I have been using itunes with an Ipod for several years, but recently upgraded to a 60G Video Ipod. I was trying to download a couple of videos from the store last week and recieved an error message. The message was;
"There was an error downloading your purchased music. The disk could not be read from or written to.
Use the Check for Purchased Music command in the advance menu to try later."
Any advice? I have been able to download music with no issues, its just the videos. When I sent an e-mail they blamed my Firewall, but I don't have one on my PC.
Thanks
Matt

I was having the same problem and got the exactly same responce from tech support, ( the tech support is a joke) Here is what I finally did to get mine to work, the probleml was with my company firewall,
These steps worked for me:
Go under EDIT
Click on Preferences
Click on Advance Tab
Under Itunes Music Location,
Hit Change and write down the locaton incase the new locaton does not work for you.
Under temp hit the New Folder button
Delete the old location ( you might not need to do this )
Type in new location
I used the following: C:\TEMP\Itunes
Hit the ok and it will take a few minutes to move all your libary to new location
Go back to Advance
Click on the Check for Purchased
This worked for me and I hope this helps you out
My personal opinion is that we pay big money for these IPODS and Apple cant even support us .....What a shame!!

How can I download videos from the web using Firefox?

I have used Cometbird as my internet browser for almost a year, but a few friends told me that Firefox is better, so I downloaded Firefox to give it a try. Unfortunately, I am experiencing a problem -> I can find no option that allows me to download videos from websites, using Firefox. With Cometbird, when I'm on a website page that offers videos, all I have to do is right click and Cometbird automatically finds any available media and allows me to download it. With Firefox, when I right click, the only viable option is to, "save the page", which doesn't allow playback of the video after saving it. Confused, I went to a Firefox page that explained to me about "add-ons", and, after looking through some of the add-ons available, I downloaded one labeled, "download helper" and followed the tutorial exactly, yet still, I was not able to download any videos. This forces me to ask two questions -> #1) Why would Firefox make available an add-on labeled, "download helper" that doesn't download anything? ....... #2) Why would Firefox not include the option to download videos from websites? ------- The internet was invented for the sole purpose of sharing information; The only way to retrieve this information is to download it; The most popular form of information downloaded is videos; Yet, with Firefox, the ability to perform the most widely used method, of the most popular form of entertainment, is not included with its internet browser. This would be comparable to a grocery store not selling bread, milk or eggs. Please explain.......

Some videos will allow downloading.
I use Safari, and when I right-mouse click on some videos, there will be an option to download.

I'm trying to find a app that will download video off the web like realplayer or orbit

Does anyone know if its a App that will download video's off the web like realplayer or Orbit?

Never heard of Orbit. As far as I know RealPlayer streams but doesn't download video (and audio). So are you looking for another streaming app or one that actually downloads the video file? And what kind of video? For example, you can download flash video from sites like youtube with many flash video downloads. There are many youtube flash downloaders. Just search macupdate.com for them. FWIW, a somewhat more general flash downloader is Jaksta. Use the macupdate link I provide to Jaksta and look at near the bottom of the page for related apps.
