Sync problem converting videos with SU

Hi there. I have owned my Creative Zen Vision:m 30gig player for about 2 weeks now. So far I have really come to love this device. I have learned how to put album art on all my favourite albums with ?Album Art Downloader? and I am using Media Monkey to manage and sync my mp3 files from my pc to my Vision:m. I have even loaded all my photos onto the player and bought the accessories pack so that I can hook it up to my television ? it works perfectly.
My last challenge (so far) was to figure out how to make this video thing work as I have about 00 videos which I have downloaded from Google video via a plugin for Mozilla Firefox called ?Video Downloader ?. The videos from Google video are encoded into something called a .flv file. I have done A LOT of reading here and other places on how to convert the various formats into formats the player can understand. Apparently the program ?Super? is THE thing for converting almost anything into well anything. I tried it and found out I could select ALL of my videos and select a common setting for them all to be encoded into. My first reaction?. sweeeeeet! The videos did not seem to have lost much quality and when I loaded them to the player, it would play them nicely? or so I thought.
It did however slowly but inevitably become clear to me that despite my most fierce attempts of denial? there was a sync problem with the audio. Not a huge annoyance but still an annoyance, something which I knew I couldn?t li've with. I therefore rushed to the program and tried to shuffle the settings a bit, changed the codecs changed the containers but nothing would work. The sound sync problem would still be there, lurking. The problem was also present when converting high quality xvid movies.
This is where my creativity and patience has come to an end. This is where I give up and crawl to you begging for help. I in order for you to help me, I will try to help YOU recreate my scenario.
I have a video, perhaps a little morbid, where the sync problem is very obvious after you have converted it with super, here is the link http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7233445036972827652
I use a plugin for Firefox to download videos from Youtube, Google video, etc. called ?Video Downloader?, here?s the link
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2390/
The settings I use for Super are the following:
Output Container: Avi (For Pocket Pc)
Output Video Codec: Mpeg4
Video Scale Size: 320*240
Frame/Sec: 25
Bitrate: 336
Hi Quality: ?Checked?
Stretch It: ?Checked?
Sampling Freq: 22050
Bitrate kbps: 28
Ok if you manage to download the clip from google video (easy) AND convert with Super into a format fitting for the Zen Vision:m without the sync problem? well my joy will break any ?happy-meter? out there
Ps. I did actually find a way to fix the sync problem, I checked the ?Directshow? for the ffmpeg but the picture was sort of lagging and looking REALLY ugly so that actually created a problem much worse than the previous one.
Thank you for your time and patience

I am not sure I can help you but I do have one pice of information. The sync problems arise from converting to the wrong frame rate. If you can choose the frame rate for the videos you convert to then you can test different rates and find the right rate. Keep in mind that there is currently no way to determine the approiate frome rate without teting it.

BTW is that MS-mpeg4-v or MS-mpeg4-v2?Message Edited by Edward-Nardella on 2-26-200602:08 PM

    issues syncing music and videos with itunes

    Before anyone would be able to provide any troubleshooting steps, you would need to describe what "issues" means. Try describing your problem in detail, as well as what troubleshooting you have already tried before posting your question here. That way no one is wasting your time by asking you to perform steps that you have already taken.

  • Syncing iPhone 4S video with iPad 1 problem

    I just bought an iPhone 4s and shot a video this morning. I plugged it into my laptop and synced it.  I then plugged in my iPad 1 and synced it.  It said there were 2 items that wouldn't sync and they were the videos I shot.  What's the problem ?  It said check iTunes.  I looked but didn't see the problem anywhere.

    Hello, Timusername.
    The following may be helpful in getting you calendars syncing correctly:
    Sync Services: Advanced troubleshooting for contact and calendar syncing
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2481
    Start with the first section that refers to Reset Sync History, then navigate to the section for your operating system Mac OS X 10.6.8.  Test syncing after each step.  If the issue persists see the section regarding syncing calendars:
    For issues with syncing calendars
    First, you should back up your calendars: Back up your calendars by choosing File > Export > Calendar Archive in OS X Mountain Lion or File > Export > iCal Archive in OS X Lion or Mac OS X v10.6. In Mac OS X v10.5, you can back up your iCal data by selecting File > Back up iCal.

  • Not syncing after converting videos for ipod

    SOS...I have an elGato eyetv on my mac and I have a few videos captured from it (eyetv) that i intend to put on my iPhone. I read the iPhone manual re videos (chapter 6 ipod) and follewed the instruction on converting so I did the " Converting Videos to iPhone by going to Advanced> Convert Selection for iPod". It seems iTunes did indeed the convert.
    My question is I just put my iphone on the dock to sync with itunes but it's not doing anything. It's been there over 15 mins but no prompts etc. It says SYNCING CONTACTS WITH *'S IPHONE forerver on the top field or status bar of itunes. The cord-like thing in it is moving. Meanwhile, phone says Sync in Progress. Prior to converting the videos, syncing had been flawless.
    Please help.. Thanks!

    Opppsss, i talked too early. I'm not getting a sound from the converted videos. I now remember that sound has always been compromised converting to eyetv native format to QT. Is anyone familiar with eyetv? Your help would be more than welcome as to how I convert to mpeg WITH sound.
    Thanks a lot.

  • Converted video (with NVM) plays only 40 % in rpla...

    After converting video (WMV -> mp4) with Nokia video manager, it plays only the first 40% of the video in reaplayer om my nokia E71. Audio continues , but video freezes . Have tried it with 2 videos with different length (1hr:08 and 38 minutes) both stopped at 40% of the video length. ffwd beyond 40% wont work and skips back to a couple of seconds before 40%. Both movies are > 90 Mb
    Anyone else having this issue and know a solution ?
    Thanks
    Mena Muria

    This happens a lot with PC Suite's video manager, the best choice is to convert them separately then transfer to the phone. I have been using WINAVI (http://www.winavi.com/) for a couple of years to convert various formats to 3GP and MP4 without any problems. It's not free, but my copy has more than paid for itself over the time I've had it...

  • Problems Recording Video with Photo Booth

    Macbook Details:
    OS X Yosemite
    Version 10.10.2
    MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2011)
    Processor 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Photo Booth: Version 7.0 (724)
    Some background: It all started going downhill for my laptop when I got a "Service Battery" warning back in December. Thought it could possibly be a glitch from the new OS. In any case, they told me to wait it out till the Full Charge Capacity reaches the 2000s. It's currently at around 4225 and slowly steadily decreasing. I can't keep many applications open at one given time.
    The problem: Built-in camera is working fine with Skype, FaceTime, etc. Photo Booth pictures are fine as well. Simply unable to record any video with PB. It will sometimes record, but during recording, the image freezes. Upon playback, the image is frozen for the entire video, and audio lags or skips around. Today it froze and actually sat frozen all day while I continued to use other applications.
    Is there anything I can do??

    You can't record video with PhotoBooth, you can record video with iMovie, or you can record with Quicktime if you have the Pro version. I would suggest using iMovie, create an MPEG-4 project, record your footage, drag your recorded clips into the timeline, then choose the Share menu and choose Email.
    Baby footage will be on its way to the grandparents in no time!

  • Syncing audio and video with timecode

    What is the best way to sync audio and video files from a one camera shoot on which the camera was jammed with timecode from the mixer? Is there a batch method? Is it best done with a third party application or within Premier?
    Camera is Canon C300
    Adobe Premier Pro CC
    Windows Operating system
    The project is a 15 page short film shot over four days. Lots of dialogue.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Is "merge assets" different from "merge..."? I see the timecode option in "merge...".
    Thanks

  • Problem 'covering' video with stills

    I hope someone can help me here, since I've searched the "manual" as well as some of the blogs that were suggested to me. (One post on blogspot came close, but it's explaining something different.)
    My middle school kids are editing their news projects. Mixed in with their reporting is 2 sections of "voice over". They recorded it by aiming the camera at the person speaking, knowing they'd later "cover" the video with pics they got off the Internet. In the old iMovie, this was done by extracting the audio.
    I've spent some time today trying out what they will do tomorrow, and there are some problems:
    1) When I drag the photos on top of the video clip, the photo appears (with the audio preserved) but the photo looks extremely cropped. It won't let me adjust the image. Now if I bring the photo into its own place on the timeline, I can fix it by choosing "Fit"... but then it won't let me drop it on top of the clip. It's a Catch-22.
    2) Even if I'm prepared to accept these super cropped images, every time a new image appears, it briefly cross-dissolves back to the original footage that's underneath. I've tried moving the first image so it starts early, but when that one runs out after 3 seconds, it goes back to the kid speaking, then to the second image, then back to the kid speaking, then to the third image.
    Can anyone help? I'm pulling my hair out here.
    Thanks

    You say you have already checked blog posts, but here are two that might help.
    1) This one describes how to extract audio from the event clip in iMovie 08. The audio can then be pinned to photos in the project if you like (command-shift-drag). This method would also give you the flexibility to use the Fit/Crop/Ken Burns tool.
    http://imovie08.blogspot.com/2007/08/how-to-extract-audio-from-clip.html
    2) This one describes a bug when you use the method of dragging the photos on top of video, and how to get around it. However, I do not know a way to edit portrait-oriented photos using this method. You are better off using the method in #1 if your student took a lot of portrait (as opposed to landscape-oriented) photos.
    Scroll down to the "Many photos over a clip bug".

  • Converted video with no audio

    Try using Videora or MPEG Streamclip to convert the videos; more information is available in this article.

  • Converting Videos with Videora/PSP Video 9

    I am using Videora/PSP Video 9 to convert videos. I have some shows on my laptop that are in 16x9 format. I converted the video and do not remember the setting I picked, but it "squished" the video. When I view the video on my ipod, it is "squished" instead of having hte black bars on top and bottom. It's really annoying. How should I set the settings to prevent this?

    Set them to use 16:9 mode:
    Open Videora. Click Setup and then the Profiles tab. Click New Profile, and type in a name for it. Say.. 16:9 Mode.
    Then, apply the following settings:
    Mode: H.264 > CBR
    Resolution: 320x240
    Bitrate: Either 768 kbps or 1500 kbps. (Higher rate = better quality and bigger file)
    Framerate: Input
    Passes: One
    Keyframe Interval: 250
    Aspect Ratio: 16:9
    Audio Bitrate: 128kbps or 160kbps
    Channels: Stereo
    Sample Rate: Input
    Now, click Save Profile. Next time you convert, use your custom profile to convert it in Widescreen format.

  • Problems converting video to iPod format

    So I just finished setting up my new video iPod, new firmware, latest iTunes version, etc.
    I subscribed to several new video podcasts and they were delivered as .mov files. So I right-clicked, selected "convert to iPod" and waited.
    Everything went fine (mostly, one podcast kept telling me the file wasn't found, but I could play it in iTunes).
    But when I tried to sync any and all of the videos to the iPod, iTunes told me that it was in an unsupported format!
    Heck, I even ripped a movie to iPod format (the H.264 codec) with Instant Handbrake and iTunes doesn't like that. Or the video that I created from iPhoto.
    Reading here, it sounds like the only option to fix this is to use iSquint or one of the other converters. That's a real whip, since it sorta kills the concept of "easy updating" that is a podcast.
    Have we just written off the Apple functionality? Is there a way to make it work? Am I doing something wrong? Is there a problem with the iPod?
    Thanks!
    Jake

    I can be of minimal help. Some Video Podcasts are downloaded ready for the iPod (example: NBC Nightly News) and some are meant to be watched on the computer (Example: MacBreak).
    I personally use Quicktime Pro for converting movie files to the iPod. Quicktime Pro has an "Export for iPod" option that has, of course, worked flawlessly. The reason I say minimal help is that you'd have to purchase Quicktime Pro for $30 or whatever the cost is these days. Another advantage is that it'll play your videos fullscreen. Which isn't necessarily a good thing though depending on the video quality.
    I personally haven't converted any non-iPod Video Podcasts but this is how would probably do it. Drag it out to your Desktop; open it in Quicktime; Export for iPod and save to your Desktop; Drag the new iPod friendly Video back into iTunes. Could be a better way but that'd work and be my first attempt.

  • Quicktime Pro, Problem Converting Video to iPod

    When I convert my movie files using Quicktime Pro I encounter a problem. After the converting is over the video works on my iPod, but the audio track is lost and there is no sound. Can anyone help me?
    Thanks
    -Jason

    Check to make sure it is not a muxed mpeg by opening the source file in QT Player and looking at MovieInfo in the Windows menu. If it is a muxed mpeg you will have to use something other than QT since it will not export the sound from mpegs. Some people have had good results with this freeware, but there are other Windows programs starting to appear for iPod conversion:

  • IPad air syncing problem of video

    When sync the photo and video from PC to iPad air, the video only shows just a photo in the iPad air, can't play. But iPad 2 is no problem.
    iPad air was sync under ios7.0.4, the iPad 2 was sync under ios6.

    Since these same songs will sync to your other Apple devices, that would rule out the songs being in the wrong format, or any other issues with the way that they were ripped.
    Your iPad charges from the power socket normally and connects to iTunes OK, so that rules out the cable. The USB ports on some computers do not supply enough power to efficiently charge the iPad and while the iPad may in fact be charging, you will see the "not charging" message.
    Check is in the Summary. Pane of iTunes when the iPad is connected to see if you have Manually Manage Songs and Videos selected. If you have it selected, unselect it and sync again.
