Transfer/copy an mp4 video file to iPhone - possible?

I have a MP4 file (in H.264 format compatible with iPhone 3GS) on my Windows 7 computer and I want to TRANSFER it to my 32GB iPhone 3GS so that it is STORED on the iPhone, and can be played back even while being OFFLINE.
On my Palm Treo it's easy, I copy it to an SD memory card and plug the card in and play.
Can something like this be done also with iTunes on the iPhone?
My iTunes and iPhone is working for all other tasks, Music files, downloading Apps, etc. etc all works fine.
What do I need to do and what do I need to click on in Windows 7 iTunes to make that copying process happen.
HELP, HELP, HELP! I'm just starting out with the iPhone. I know we don't use SD memory cards in the iPhone, but it must be possible somehow to copy files...

Yes, add this file to iTunes. iTunes menu, ADD FILES TO LIBRARY. It will appear under Movies library.
Connect your device to sync, select iPhone under 'Devices' on iTunes left pane, then on the right, go to Movies tab, check the box SYNC MOVIES and select your video. Click the SYNC button on the lower right window.

Transfer photo/video files from iPhone 5 to MacBook?

I was able to complete steps #1 and #2 of the iTunes help offered under "Transfer files from your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad to your computer" but for step #3, "Below File Sharing..." there was no File Sharing menu or ability to choose the Photos app in my iPhone 5. Where should I look for that or is there more de-tailed guidance available elsewhere?

ITunes 11 deletes newly added m4v and mp4 video files!

I'm really loathing the new iTunes for a number of reasons.. but this one really takes the cake!
When I try to add an M4V or MP4 video file, iTunes deletes the file and does not add it to the library!
I never had any issues with 10.7.. and seeing as there is no way of reverting back that I can find.. any help in how to solve this... or is this one of those wonder new "feature's" I now have to contend with?
Thanks

Are you frustrated that whether you drag and drop your video files to iTunes 11, or add video files from “Add files to Libray” or “Add folder to Libray”, nothing is imported even though the files are in iTunes 11 supported MP4, MOV or M4V video format.
If iTunes 11 won’t import MP4, MOV or M4V, first make sure your install QuickTime Player. Even though you hire VLC or Perian or any other media player to take care of your video playback instead of QuickTime, you still need to install QuickTime in order to add video to iTunes 11 for transfer to iPad, iPod, iPhone or Apple TV.
f you install QuickTime player but still can’t add MP4, MOV, M4V to iTunes 11, there is no other solution but to convert MP4, MOV, M4V to iTunes 11 supported video MP4.
Visit the Step-by-Step Guide on how to successfully import all kinds of MP4, MOV, M4V to iTunes 11
The guide also applies to import AVI, WMV, MKV, etc to iTunes 11.

How to download mp4 video files directly from camera to iPad mini?

I used the Lightning Card Reader but the Mp4 video files did not transfer. Is there an APP for this?

Hi, You need to rename the file with only 8 letters/numbers in the name plus the prefix eg 12345678.mp4 same needed for photos 12345678.jpg :-) Good luck

How can i get an MP4 video file to work in iMovie 08'?

I'm currently editing a wedding video i recorded on my Sony DV camcorder in iMovie 08' and want to splice a MP4 video file (from a mobile phone- make unknown) of the married couple on their first dance into the footage but can't
How do i go about acheiving this?

Autoplay is not universally supported by all devices. Many smatphone data plans can't handle the burden of preloaded and auto playing media. There's nothing you can do to change this b/c mobile devices simply ignore the parameter.   All that said, why are you still using player plugins? You don't need them with HTML5 video.

How do I transfer my pictures and videos from my iPhone and IPad on the time capsule?

How do I transfer my pictures and videos from my Iphone and IPad onto my time capsule?

You cannot use Apple TV.. again the TC is not a media device and has no media extensions.
You can store video files on the TC.. but the ATV must work either via airplay so you run the video on an ipad for instance and send the screen view to the apple tv or you have itunes running on a computer.
BTW a WD live TV can play video files from a TC.. because it is a true media player.. the Apple TV is not a media player.. it is a streamer.

My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate.

My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate. When I "Preview In Browser" through Edge it plays (I have created a shape and used the "play video full screen" snippet) in full screen mode just fine. When I "Preview Site In Browser" through Muse and click on the shape to PLAY VIDEO FULL SCREEN, it does nothing. I am new to both programs and can't figure out why it will work out of the preview window in Edge and won't work when I publish to Muse. Does anybody have an answer or a work-around for me?

Hi jeeby,
Have you tried reinserting and removing the memory card? You can also see this link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop to know more about the supported video formats.
You can also try to convert it to another supported format using a converter software then check if it will work.

What HTML code do I need to get Adobe Flash to play an embedded MP4 video file (8 MB)?

What HTML code do I need to get Adobe Flash to play an embedded MP4 video file (8 MB)?
Thanks

Here are a couple of ways, one using the Netstream class and the other using the FLVPlayback component.
For the NetStream approach, the following in the timeline code will play/loop the intended mp4 file...
     var video:Video;
     var connect_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
     connect_nc.connect(null);
     var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(connect_nc);
     stream_ns.client = this;
     function netStatusHandler(p_evt:NetStatusEvent):void {
         if (p_evt.info.code == "NetStream.Play.Stop") {
             stream_ns.seek(0); // to loop the video
     stream_ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
     video = new Video();
     addChild(video);
     video.attachNetStream(stream_ns);
     stream_ns.play("path_to/your.mp4");
For the FLVPlayback component, add it to the stage, give it an instance name ("fp" used below), assign your mp4 file ("path_to/your.mp4") as the source property in the Properties panel, and select the option to autoplay as well. Place the following code in the timeline...
     fp.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, playAgain);
     function playAgain(evt:Event):void {
         fp.play();
To put the Flash swf file in an html page, in the Publish Settings set it to publish an swf and an html page. Publish the file an the html page will be created for you.

Cannot Add MP4 Video File!!! HELP!!!

I have got the 80GB IPod and have added a few videos, each MP4 files about 164MB in size. However, when i tried to add a MP4 video file that is 216MB it does not upload into my library? It is definately the correct file type and I have about 73GB left in memory so what could the problem be?

They are not formatted correctly.
Just because a file is mp4 does not guarantee it is
playable by the iPod.
Correct file formatting :
Video formats supported: H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps,
640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Low-Complexity
version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC
audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v,
.mp4, and .mov file formats; H.264 video, up to 768
Kbps, 320 by 240 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Baseline
Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC audio up to 160
Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov
file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by
480 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with
AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in
.m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
PS. Hard drive space is not referred to as memory-it
is storage space. You have 73 GB of storage space
left, not memory.
It IS formatted correctly, it has all the attributes mentioned in the video file format supported by IPod mentioned above and the file is identical (apart from it is 216MB opposed to 164MB) to the other video files already stored on my IPod.
Thank you for the wise up on the IPod 'lingo'though!
So any other ideas?

Mp4 video files in SWFs- How to embed?

The Flash Player 9.0.115 and up can play mp4 files, but getting them in the swf to begin with is not easy!
Below are three different methods I've tried, and the results.
• Instance A: I place an FLVPlayback Component on the stage, but it is not possible to set the source video if it is .m4v, .mp4, or .f4v, or flv.
• Instance B: If I encode a video file as an f4v, I can use actionscript 3 to set the source to an F4V encoded file, but only IF I change the file extension to .flv . If I keep it as f4v. The video won't play.
vidplayer.source = mymp4Movie.flv;
vidplayer.play();
• Instance C: Streaming works. All you have to do is add an mp4: prefix to the file, or in some cases, remove the file extension altogether.

If it helps to understand, here's the project— A SWF/projector is playing mp4 video files from local media- a DVD.
This is a tough nut. Thanks to anyone who can shed any light on this.

Can't retrieve MP4 video files

Hi guys,
Been trying to find an answer to a question I have. We use the Cisco Surveillance server and cameras (6400)
We had an accident the other night and I was able to create a MP4 video file. I then got to the video display in the Surveillance Manager
and I right click the video feed and get clip status. Here it says video complete. I then click on the video I created at the bottom of the screen, it asks me for a location to save the file then it tries to download the file to that location and fails. Anyone know whats going on?
Thanks!!!

Hi,
1. Login into VSOM
2. Go to settings --> Server --> select the server.
3. Under general Tab --> Services. Click on Advanced for the media server you are trying to generate clip.
4. Under Partitions. Clipping box is CHECKED?

Delete video files in iPhone

Can I delete the video files in iPhone without using iTunes? If so, can you tell me how. Thanks!

For video transferred from your iTunes library, swipe across the video in the iPod to bring up the Delete button for the video.
Apple includes a Safari bookmark on the iPhone for the iPod User Guide, which can also be downloaded on your computer here.
