Takes 2hrs to share Home Video movie with iTunes

Ever since I upgraded to iMovie 11 it takes hrs to share with iTunes & theater. When done the music added to video's is scratchy. Pics are ok. I've been told I need more RAM. Also been told I need a bigger processor. I'm thinking a new IMac. Help!!!

Your post said "free" and there isn't any free software that will convert MPEG-2 files to other formats. Well, Handbrake does "rip" DVD's and convert but I wouldn't use it.
After you realize that you'll need to spend money for the needed software then you'll start the conversion on your older machine. It will take a very long time (I did similar years ago on my G3 400 and it took 44 hours).
The converted .mov file was about 450MB's at half of the dimensions of the DVD version. Quality was good and the file played just fine in QuickTime Player.
You then have to find a way to share the file over the Internet. That will involve you uploading it and your friend download it. More time that you said you didn't have.
Mail seems like the best method and will actually save you time.

  • How do u share home videos with relatives on itunes?

    How do u share home videos with relatives on itunes? My son moved but still has itunes account on home computer. can the home videos be moved or placed into his Itune acct, and then viewed?

    No, use an online storage facility such as dropbox which will allow you to share content with each other.

  • I want to share my video edits with clients in the cloud but can't

    I was under the impression I was able to easily share my video edits with clients for a simple seamless workflow. Upon trying this I learn that I am unable to share video files over the cloud. Why is this? and how can I do this? I know you use to be able to within premiere.
    Does it need to be exported in a certain format or is it simply not supported to do this in the cloud.
    Thanks.

    Hi Perfect Pair,
    Creative Cloud is not currently able to be used in this way but this is something our developers are considering adding in the future.

  • Some of the home videos added to iTunes library have no sound although they play on quicktime player from my windows libraries. Any suggestions?

    I have added some home videos to my iTunes library and there is no sound on them.  The files are .MOV (film file) from my olympus camera and play perfectly OK with QuickTime player from the Windows library and from the iTunes media library. I am using Windows 8.1 and iTunes 12.1.1.4. Any suggestions as to how I can fix this problem please?

    Dont worry, I found a handy little tool that I think anyone who has any problems with ipod video should try. Its in Japanese, but just set the language to english, its pretty obvious. http://www.videohelp.com/tools?tool=3GP_Converter

    Hi Ian - here are some links to a few Apple Tutorials (including video tutorials) that will give you a sound understanding about copying and moving Events and Projects:
    Organize your video -
    http://help.apple.com/imovie/index.html#mova719f959
    Click on the headings to see the Help information. Click on the video headings to watch the videos.
    Copy or move video from the Event Library to an external drive -
    http://help.apple.com/imovie/index.html#mov3ac6d42c
    Copy or move a project to an external drive -
    http://help.apple.com/imovie/index.html#move7d66613
    Consolidate a project's media -
    http://help.apple.com/imovie/index.html#mov3ac6c7c9
    All of the above information is also accessible from the iMovie menu item "iMovie Help". A browse through Help will uncover lots of other useful information for you. It's time consuming, but time well spent.
    Regarding the projects that you currently have on an external drive (those that were moved using Finder), I would suggest that you simply drag them back to their original location (if known). They should then reconnect to the Event (or Events) when you next open iMovie.
    On your internal (local) drive, iMovie projects are stored in your User (Home) folder Movies/iMovie Projects. On an external drive, projects are located in a folder named iMovie Projects at the top level of the drive (not in a Movies folder). So, drag the old (currently unusable) projects to the appropriate folder on either your internal or external drive.
    Please come back if you need further advice - I'll do the best I can.

  • Video stutter with iTunes movies - how to fix?

    I just downloaded some movies from iTunes for the first time in both HD and standard format but none of them will play stutter free. I have these horizontal lines going through the image like the frame is slowly building itself up. Sometimes the whole frame will even freeze and then fast forward to catch up with the audio.
    I never had this problem with any other HD video on my computer before. Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks!

  • How do I share a video taken with my IPhone

    I can email or sms short videos, but I shot several longer videos with my 3Gs, did a sync with ITunes, and now I cannot find them. Where would those videos go? How can I edit and/or share them?

    Syncing only backs up videos as part of the iPhone backup.  You need to import it, see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

  • How can I export/share a project/movie with iMovie 10(.0.1)?

    Hi,
    I generate a movie with images from iPhoto and underlaid a sound file. In iMovie the film looks great and now I want to share/export it. But the share button doesn't work: I click on it and nothing happens – no submenu, no window, nothing. It seems there is missing a function behind the menu item.
    I closed iMovie, restart it – nothing.
    I shut down the Mac and reboot it – nothing.
    I deleted the preferences after closing the app and restart it – nothing happens.
    What can I do?
    This happens with image movies AND with clip movies generated with iMovie.
    Thanks for a hint.
    CK

    Thanks Chris,
    I will uninstall the imovie app using the mackeeper uninstaller, but wanted to ask if I trash /delete all the files
    when I do this? When it scans my computer it says I have two versions of imovie and other files as well.
      Just wanted to check if I will still have my trailer left in my user file on the computer.
    Sorry to bug you, but I spent alot of time doing it and dont want to lose the work . So want to be sure I am doing it the right way!
    Cheers Graham

  • Why grainy home video exported from itunes

    All my pictures and movies that have been purchased and downloaded from itunes have looked great!!!
    But today, I made some home videos on my Canon Zr800 video camera, and exported the video to Apple TV via IMovie/Itunes.
    The result was a very grainy video. It was very poor quality. However, when we watch the same home video via IMovie on our imac computer, the video looks great. It only looks poor when viewing it on our tv via Apple TV. Any thoughts???

    when i tried to create a new project just now...it came up as dv widescreen...that is probably the one i used
    You are likely correct, I also assume you have used DV widescreen and I assume your source is WS as well, or you would have ended up with your movie stretched or pillarboxed. I would say you are using the best project settings, if you'd chosen another project type, there would have been a lot of unnecessary conversions happening, which would lead to lower quality.
    I use the DV settings for my imovie projects, however when I export to tv I get interlacing problems (alternate lines across the picture are out of sync on high motion video), my solution is to use export to full quality and then send the result through streamclip. Maybe you might need to do something similar to solve your issue.
    Just a couple of things to check first. Make sure your imovie prefs match your location, if your source is NTSC then ensure your project frame rate is 30 (25 for PAL), could you also open the finished movie in Quicktime (just drag and drop onto the QT app) open the movie info window and tell us what it says.

  • Potential Solution: Home Sharing issues with iTunes 10.6

    TL;DR: On a hunch, I changed the power settings of the ATV to never sleep. Since then, I have not had any issues. Granted, it's only been a couple of days, but it seems to have done the trick.
    Folks,
    Wanted to share my experience with Home Sharing issues after upgrading to iTunes 10.6. These forums a rampant with reports of the issue, so I'll defer to the search field above if you don't know what I am talking about. In short: iTunes 10.6 seems to have busted Home Sharing.
    For those who do, here's what I found:
    For some reason, is saw a very large number of established sessions from my Apple TV (ATV) into port 3689 on my Mac. This is the port that ATV uses to query iTunes to see what's available via Home Sharing (e.g.: what movies, songs, pictures, etc are available for display on the ATV).
    A sniffer cap and some observation of the power indicator on the ATV indicated that while it was sleeping, the ATV was querying iTunes. It would power on for a sec (wake on LAN, maybe?), issue some queries, then sleep.
    When this happened, the TCP sessions created were never town down. As such, I would eventually see 200+ established sessions on port 3689. I don't know exactly how many it took to make this happen, but when I saw this, iTunes stopped accepting new connections.
    Of course, bouncing iTunes would remedy the issue for a while, but it would return.
    On a hunch, I changed the power settings of the ATV to never sleep. Since then, I have not had any issues. Granted, it's only been a couple of days, but it seems to have done the trick.
    I would be interested to hear if it works for others.
    Happy viewing,
    Chris

    Thanks for posting this.
    I've been searching for an option of how to approach this problem.
    I picked up the new AppleTV when it was released, but it has made iTunes fairly useless from a Home Sharing standpoint.
    I also observed the massive number of TCP connections being opened against iTunes, but never closed.
    As expected, I could manually kill a few of these connections, and then could connect again, even without closing iTunes.
    I performed most of my testing with Windows 7, but while troubleshooting I had the same issue with iTunes on an old Mac Mini I had sitting around.
    I will try your solution, which makes a lot of sense, but it would be nice if Apple fixed the real problem.
    Thanks again.
