Sharing Video Files

I have detemined that oddly enough, CC will not generate a link to .mp4 files I store there but wmv is ok. What video file formats will it generate links for and what others will it not so I don't have to guess please??

Apparently there are legal restrictions for sharing MP3 and MP4 files. Even if you are the one who created the file in the first place. I don't have a list of all the file types you can't share, but MP3's and MP4's will be on that list.

  • Problem Uploading and Sharing Video Files

    I just uploaded a 3.3GB h.264 Quicktime movie to Creative Cloud. It took many hours. Now that it's finished uploading, I can't figure out how to play the video while logged into Creative Cloud, despite that fact that under information it's recognized as a mov and 3.3GB. And when I try to share using the link-in-email option, my friend can't play the movie or download it. When he tries to download it, nothing connects. Creative Cloud seems to be treating this movie as a single still image or something. Suggestions as to how to solve these upload and share video problems? I have a 2011 MacBook Pro with all possible upgrades, Mac OS X Version 10.6.8. Any help here much appreciated. One of the reasons I signed on for a year with Creative Cloud was to utilize this 20GB to share video in the way I've done through Dropbox.

    Thanks for the reply, Dave, but I don't think this is the problem. I've uploaded this h.264 Quicktime (which plays fine before uploading) a few times now and cannot download or share due to a very long period of "Connecting...", then the message "Problem loading page. The connection was reset. The conection to the server was reset while the page was loading. - The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. - If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection. - If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web." Then I'm given the option to "try again". This or a similar message is what others get when trying to download when I try to share the file with them using the link-in-email method, and neither I nor any of those I try to share this with are having problems with internet connectiions or downloading other large video files from the internet. The reason I suspect that Creative Cloud can't deal with downloading larger files such as this 3.3GB Quicktime is that I have no problem uploading, downloading or sharing small Quicktime movies through CC, and they are identified the same way and look the same when uploaded to CC. I also have no problem downloading much larger video files from other sites on the internet, such as feature length films that are a lot larger than 3.3GB. It seems like only things that download quickly don't time-out, regardless of what browser I'm using. Does Creative Cloud's download system rely on files being able to be downloaded quickly in full before a browser's time-out? As I've mentioned before, I have no problem uploading, downloading, sharing, etc. using Dropbox. Long explanation here, I know, but I thought all this info might help in figuring things out. Any ideas as to what's going on?

  • Sharing Video Files over iTunes

    Hi, in my house I have 2 Mac's and one PC, I'm sharing a large amount of video files from one of my macs that I have encode myself via iTunes 7. The other mac can playback all these video files fine over my network.
    My problem is with the PC it will play the smaller files (files under 350MB) but it refuses to play files that are any larger. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    Make sure you have the latest QT and iTunes on the PC - that might help... the PC side is a bit finiky but i have the same setup and it "seems" to be working ok for me so far.

  • Play button for public shared video files?

    I want to share a video file, mp4, with a client using Creative Cloud file sharing. The only option available for the client to see the file is to download it. Can it be viewed in the web browser directly, without downloading? For the moment, I only see a large frame of the file, as if it were a picture.

    Hi Jakyfortin,
    Your understanding is correct. The functionality you describe is something which our engineering department is considering implementing in the future though.

  • Error Message when trying to watch shared video files thru the 'Video' app, via iTunes

    Since updating my iPad 2 to the new operating system, I can no longer watch shared videos from iTunes. I am getting the error "you do not have permission to access the requested resource.". I have restarted the ipad, turned home sharing off and on, reset the network... any ideas on how to get past this issue?

    Unfortunately, I don't think any of those solutions will work. The video won't play on my computer either, but I think that's because I don't have Quicken, or whatever is needed to watch videos from iTunes. Maybe that's what I need to do? Download the appropriate software to play the video on my computer?

  • Wifi sharing video files with Samsung HDD/Blu Ray player

    How do I find my Samsung BD/HDD player and send video files to it? The manual says I need to download 'PC Share Manager' (yuk) surely I can just hunt for it on the network?
    It's def connected, cos it's picking up stuff off the internet, but I want it to talk to the Mac!
    Thanks,
    Tim

    No, there is no connection on the back of the C6500 to connect with the iPhone. You would also have to activate a tethering account ($25 per month) with AT&T if it was physically possible.

  • Sharing video file with non CC member

    Dear All,
    I have to share a large video file with a client who is NOT a creative cloud subscriber.  Can I do that?  How does the other person gain access to my creative cloud storage in order to download the video?  I am a Creative Cloud monthly subscriber.  Thanks

    Thanks Nancy.
    Creative Cloud Connection
    The install for Creative Cloud Connection ("desktop sync") is available from the Creative Cloud Apps page at https://creative.adobe.com/apps or from the Adobe Application Manager. But it seems you already have it installed an just need to launch it.
    Which operating system are you on? On Windows you can launch Creative Cloud Connection from the Start Menu, and on Mac OS X from the Applications folder. Once launched it will re-open upon computer restart by default. You can change this if wanted via the Preferences.
    Your Online File Storage
    Just sign in with your Adobe ID at https://creative.adobe.com. You should see a Files menu in the top left of the web application.
    From the Actions menu you can choose Upload to upload files. You can also drag and drop upload files (but not folders) from the Windows Explorer / Mac OS X Finder to the browser.
    As a subscriber you should take advantage of the 20 GB storage provided for an individual subscription. There are some restrictions we have around certian file types, but we are working to improve that.

  • Help with mutiple files produced by sharing video to Itunes

    Hi All,
    As I continue to learn I am looking for some help. After importing DV video and then creating a movie in Imovie08 I shared the movie with Itunes. Looking through all the video files there are now two copies of everything on the drive..
    Copy #1 is in- movies/imovie/sharing/itunes/filename.mv4
    Copy #2 is in-music/itunes music/ movies/filename.mv4
    The questions are can I delete the one in the Itunes music file? what can I do to prevent this in the future?
    Thanks
    GE

    First most of the movies I am making are over 1gb so having two copies is not really an option as I will soon run out of space.
    Most people would agree and it is not necessary to do if both copies are "standalone" files. Yours are.
    when I checked get info for both files they were the same size so no reference smaller file as I have seen with the projects.
    This merely confimrs that both files are, indeed, "standalone" copies and that iTunes is operating with the default preference to physically copy imported/added files to your iTunes Library wherever that might be located.
    I was able to go into Itunes in the advanced and tell it not to copy to Itunes (thanks again) when sharing. On the most recent shared project this has eliminated the file in Itunes music but saved to the movie, imovie sharing, itunes ...File. When I open I tunes it did pick up the movie and sync with my apple TV. So far so good. My question now is why not leave like this?
    You can leave it like this and that is one of the things mentioned previosly when I cautioned you that in this mode you could not then delete the shared folder copy of your video. Basically you have to options.
    1) The first is to leave your standalone files physically in their original stored location and copy a "reference" pointer (like an alias) to iTunes. This method of operating keeps your iTunes Library relatively small but leaves your main "standalone" files scattered anywhere on any of your hard drives depending on how/where they were created/stored.
    2) The second is to use the iTunes default setting as it was, physically copy the files to the iTunes Library, and then delete the "sourcing" or "intermediate" file which is no longer needed. This work flow "consolidates" all of your video files to single, known area but means your iTunes Library can become quite large.
    The option you choose is up to you. I prefer the second option as I have an external 1 TB drive dedicated exclusively for use as my iTunes Library. In this manner all of my files are located in a known location and I can keep my internal start-up drive (and all other drives) relatively free of "clutter" by deleting video files from their source location as soon as I have imported them to iTunes. And, since I know where the file are located, I still maintain normal access to them for any "file" level operations (e.g., posting to any of my web sites/servers, sharing with friends/family via e-mail, QT Link files, and "reference" files, etc. Basically I use iTunes for the "physical" management of my videos for distribution to iPod, iPhone, and TV devices; iTunes, Front Row, and QT Player viewing; as well as, a central storage point for file level operations such as e-mail (standalone, reference, or QTL), site/server upload source, peer-to-peer distribution, etc. This works for me but may or may not suit another user's particular needs.
    One suggestion earlier was to delete the Movie/Imovie sharing file. While this makes sense I would have to manually transfer it in or share to both then delete it.
    The "sharing to iTunes" by iMovie is "automated." The deletion of extraneous files is not. Since iMovie does not know whether you are using iTunes manage your files physically, it cannot be pre-programmed to automatically delete the "shared" file without risking it will "orphan" the reference sent to/stored in iTunes. That is why the deletion is left to the user as a manual option.
    Why not leave the flow the way it is. Will I later have some issue with I tunes? Or is the potential to over write the information if I adjust the project the issue?
    As previously stated, you can use iTunes in this preference mode. While I doubt there would be any potential for accidental "overwites," there are other possibilities. Besides offending my sense of proper organization, there is the potential for such "scattered" files to be accidentally deleted in error. Also, there is always the possibility that someone might "move" the "standalone" file to a different location on the same or a different hard drive. In either instance, your iTunes file pointer would likely be "orphaned" and the content would no longer be availalable until or unless a valid path were restored. In addition, having files scattered all over your drives makes backing them up a bit of a chore. By consolidating all of my videos and music physically as I do, it is much easier to automatically "back them up" using another external drive and either Time Machine or other such software -- something to consider after doing all that work creating your files. What is best for you will depend on you specific work flows, needs, and concepts. There is no right or wrong here but merely what works best for you.

  • Shared Library Video Files

    I have several movies on my iMac and right now when someone in the household wants to watch one they have to use my video iPod and A/V cables to hook it up to the TV.
    My brother has a Dell computer hooked up to his HD TV and I thought it would be easier for him to just access my shared library to watch the movies that way but only music file will play even though we can see the list of video files in my library.
    Is this because iTunes only allows seeing what video files are there but you can't play them or is there something we aren't doing right?

    Same issue being discussed here --> http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9222742#9222742
    Here's what I'm experiencing (sounds like the same thing to me). Wish I had a solution to share, but maybe it helps knowing you're not alone.
    Just another datapoint to add...I tried a few different things yesterday and I can get the following files to play:
    1. Free Downloaded video from iTunes (Horton hears a Who - Anatomy of a Scene)
    2. Digital Movie (Bolt) that requires some authorization from the iTunes store.
    The movies that won't stream from one XP box to the other XP box are all encoded using Handbrake (they work fine going to the AppleTV though.) I'm wondering if it has something to do with DRM or specific tags/metadata that needs to be included in the encode.
    Also, this is something new for me (i.e. I haven't tried sharing libraries or streaming from one iTunes instance to another prior to upgrading iTunes to 8.1) My daughter got a laptop and we wanted to keep all of our media in one shared location in the house. Hopefully this will work at some point.
    Thanks,
    Mike

  • To Decode and play  MPEG-2 Video files with JMF

    Hi ALL,
    I amin serious trouble with a problem. I am developing a Simulator, a function of which is to decode MPEG-2 Video files in real time and play it as well.I have got a MPEG-2 Decoder implemented in C from an open source and need to integrate with my Simulator which is writtebn in Java. The integration part I am doing via JNI(Java Native Interface). Now I have a bunch of C files in MPEG-2 decoder which are to be compiled during the Execution of the Java Simulator.Can anybody give some idea about how to call multiple C files from the Java Source through JNI at one go? Another problem I am facing is in calling a single C code from the traditional "HelloWorld" Java Code itself. The problem comes when I am trying to compile the shared library between the C native code and Java Code in my Linux Machine...I am getting the following message:
    /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/.../../../crt1.0 : In function '_start' :

  • In iMovie when I try to share a project to a file on an external hard drive it will work the first time but subsequently it says it is sharing but gives no time and file name and in fact just sits there not sharing the file.

    I have iMovie 10.0.4.  I want to transfer some old DV tape videos to MPEG 4 files to be stored on a 4 TB external drive. I successfully imported the video to iMovie, created a project by moving all captured files into a project and the first time I shared the project to a file  it worked as expected.  Every subsequent try to transfer another video would fail to transfer.  When I clicked save it gives the warning that it is too big for iCloud, iso I click create on this computer.  The progress circle comes up with no indication of progress.  The show activity drop down just says sharing to "file" no file name as in the first one and indicates no time remaining.  In fact it just sits there apparently doing nothing.  I'v tried it a half dozen times, deleted everything and started over.  It transfers the first project to file and then nothing on additional tries.  What do I have wrong, am I missing something?

  • All of a sudden (video) files added to my iTunes library after a certain date aren't playable on other devices.

    hello!
    All of a sudden I have a weird issue with playing video-files added to my iTunes library after a specific date.
    This is the situation so far:
    I encode the video for iTunes with the same settings for the last 3 years. I know these vids play on all my devices. AppleTV & iPad. All of a sudden videos added to my library after the 8th of september aren't playable on my AppleTV and iPad. I can play them directly in iTunes and by accessing them directly via the finder and quicktime.
    The following errors occur:
    When I pull the video from iTunes on my AppleTV.. the video simply doesn't play.
    When I pull the video from iTunes on my iPad I get a message that the file can't be found.
    When I push the video from iTunes to the AppleTV using airplay I get a message that there has occured an error while connecting to the AirPlay-device "Apple TV". The necesary file could not be found. In addition when the AppleTV is switched off it doesn't turn on doing this, suggesting that there is something missing on my mac itself.
    All the above errors aren't popping up when I choose a video that has been put in my library before the 9th of september. Then everything works as expected.
    This is what I tried:
    Turning off and on home sharing on all devices including the mac.
    Logging in wiht a different apple ID though using the same ID as before.
    I created a new iTunes library and populated with a video that was added after the 8th of september and one that was added before the 9th of september. Surprisingly the older one played and not the newer one.. while they both used the same encoding settings. The new library was locally on my mac as my original library is on a NAS.
    I encode my videos with Quicktime 7 Pro using the following settings:
    H.264 (current frame rate, key-frames:automatic, re-order frames, automatic bitsize)
    Medium Quality
    Multi-pass
    current resolution (which is always 1280 X 720)
    AAC sound
    44.100 kHz
    128kbps
    I'm using the Mountain lion 10.8.2 and iTunes 10.7 Mountain lion got updated a few days after 19th of september and iTunes i think as well. Both versions were released after this issue seemed to pop up.
    I also have two video-files encoded on the same day with the same settings that dragged into the iTunes library on the 9th of september. One works.. the other doesn't.
    So I wonder if there is somebody out there that can tell me what might have happened here and how I could fix this issue.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi Seraphiel07.
    I have a very similar issue. Hardware involved:
    Apple MacMini (Mid 2011) - OSX 10.8.2. iTunes 10.7. Home Sharing enabled.
    Apple TV (3rd Generation). Home Sharing (access) enabled.
    Apple MacBook Pro (15" Mid-2009). OSX 10.8.2. iTunes 10.7. Home Sharing enabled.
    Apple iPad 2 (Wifi only). iOS 6
    Apple iPhone 4S. iOS 6
    All connected through:
    Apple Time Capsule 8.0211n (4th Gen)
    I have an iTunes library on the MacBook Pro, shared over "Home Sharing" and another (duplicate content, different library name) iTunes library on my MacMini, which is also accessed through the Apple TV.
    All software is current (as of Sep 26th).
    All movies are iTunes purchases. 80 in total.
    All files are purchased (and home shared) under one account.
    My last two iTunes purchases both HD movies on 09/17/2012 and 09/05/2012 refuse to appear on any device accessing either of the two Libraries over Home Sharing. It should be noted that every other movie (the other 78) all show up and play correctly. I therefore know it is not an issue with connectivity, otherwise I would see zero movies available.
    I have:
    1. Removed all content from each Library and re-added
    2. Upgraded the OS on the MacMini 10.8.2
    3. Tested viewing the two missing movies on other Apple devices and no luck.
    4. Turn home sharing on and off within iTunes and also on each device.
    It would appear to me that the issue is with the files themselves, rather than the devices as different devices and different versions have been tested.
    All comments welcome.

  • How can I add MPAA ratings to video files in iTunes?

    I understand Apple prohibits the customer from manually inputting MPAA or TV ratings into the video files centrally stored in an iTunes library, as ripping DVDs is considered illegal. How can I get around this problem? Is it possible to manually manipulate the meta data outside of iTunes?
    In this specific case, I would like to share content over a home network also used by children; I have no problem with them watching Harry Potter, but they need to grow a little before they want Dexter or Game of Thrones, but Apple makes this process unnecessarily cumbersome and obtuse.
    I assume Apple will never permit this functionality, if only to satify copyright holders as well as protecting profits. However, I live in the Netherlands, and under Dutch law people are specifically permitted to make a limited number of copies of any copyrighted material (for personalI use only obviously, sharing remains technically illegal). The law places a small duty on all blank storage media, from old cassettes up until anything containing a hard drive (including iPod), to compensate artists and copyright holders for potential lost revenues. The total duty collected and disbursed amounts to tens of millions, and I imagine Apple also benefits (if ever so slightly). Therefore, under Dutch jurisdiction, I should be able to manipulate ripped versions of legally obtained video material all I want, as I wholly own the copies (legally). Do other countries/states have similar laws on the books?
    The price of doing business globally is that you must adapt to many different legal jurisdictions; other companies do it without apparant problems, Apple should as well.

    You understand incorrectly.
    as ripping DVDs is considered illegal
    What does this have to with ratings?
    I assume Apple will never permit this functionality,
    Don't know why you would assume this at all.
    They don't permit nor prohibit it. They don't do anything about it.
    How can I get around this problem? Is it possible to manually manipulate the meta data outside of iTunes?
    Yes, very easily. You need an application that will allow you to set the ratings. There are plenty of apps around.
    -> MetaZ works fine for tagging most info on movies including ratings.
    Note that Apple is simply a distributor. They are not the labels/copyright owners. Pretty sure they don't get any money from Stichting Thuiskopie.

    Same problem & still getting both vlc & mplayer errors as above.
    None of this was happening yesterday so I decided to pick through the upgrades & downgrade the ones affecting just vlc/video:
    [2014-08-15 00:05] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/libx264-1:142.20140311-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz'

    [2014-08-15 00:10] [PACMAN] downgraded mplayer (37224-2 -> 37224-1)
    the only other thing I think might be causing this is the kernel upgrade but I don't really want to downgrade that because potentially that would mean doing it for all the upgrades!
    can any of you archers see what might have caused this as the video file & others have been working fine & I can't see any other bugs or reports of this happening elsewhere.
    thanks in advance for you help
