from a post from monkeyboy67:
Hopefully in answer to the many posts on “how to get various video formats onto your iPod” I have put together a summary of applications I use. I have tried a few others with varying amounts of success (some of which are free) - I have finally plumped for the software produced by Xilisoft as providing good quality video relatively affordable cost for use with PC’s and numerous MS operating systems. The link below takes you to their site which not only allows you to download trail versions of their software but also has a comprehensive set of tutorials and FAQ's for their iPod video conversion software.
I have regularly used these applications to convert various file formats to iPod friendly video. They are simple to use although frequently processor and RAM hungry:
Use Xilisoft iPod Video Converter if you want to:
[*]Convert various video file formats to MP4
[*]Convert most audio file formats to MP3
[*]Extract audio from video file and save to MP3
[*]Encode several files simultaneously
[*]Pause encoding process to run other CPU time consuming programs at any time
Supported file formats:
Video:
[*]MPEG(mpg, mpeg, dat, vob); WMV; ASF; AVI; QuichTime(mov, qt); MPEG4(mp4); 3GP; DV(dv,
dif); Real Video(rm); Animated GIF(gif - decoding only); Macromedia Flash(swf - decoding
audio only);
Audio:
[*]MPEG Audio(mp2, mp3); WMA; WAV; AU; MPEG4 Audio(m4a); Real Audio(ra); OGG; AAC; Raw
AC3(ac3); NUT Open Container Format(nut);
To convert DVD's to an iPod friendly video format:
Use Xilisoft DVD to iPod V4:
[*]Just pop the DVD in your drive select compression variables (default settings work well) and sit back!
All these products are available on a "try before you buy basis", yes there are applications for XP which are free but and may work just as well but I have converted many hours of video for my iPod without hassle using the Xilisoft products (no I don't work for them!). Check there web site HERE

Trouble Transferring Videos Files from computer to ipad in ios 8

Hello -
I'm a bit confused about the "sharing" aspect of what used to be the "home videos" section in itunes for transferring video files to my ipad. It appears I can only access these files when my itunes is open and able to be accessed via wifi. What am I missing? I would like to have the files themselves on the ipad so that I can watch videos when not connected to the internet, and not near my computer.
Apologies, this is probably an easy fix - I haven't been able to find an answer,
Elizabeth

Transferring Video Files without Losing Project Links

I know this issue must have been addressed in the archives, but I can't seem to find the specific issue. Hope someone can help. The online manual is no help.
My C: HDD is filling up with video files, and I'd like to move all video files (and future files) to a new 2TB disk that I have installed dedicated for that purpose. I intend to leave Premiere Elements 4.0 and my .prel projects in my existinng C: drive.
How do I do this safely, without losing the links between the raw video files and clips inserted in my project?? Thanks.

the Archiver seems straightforward, but I will then have my .prel project on a drive different from the Premiere program. Somewhere I read that this is possibly unstable. Any opinions?
Actually, this is preferred. On a two, physical HDD setup, allocation like this is best: Not sure where you saw a rec. to have the Project on the same drive as the program.
C:\ OS, program files, and maybe the Windows Virtual Memory (Page File)*
D:\ Project, Assets and Scratch Disks
If one has a 3 HDD I/O, this would be the best
C:\ OS, program files, and maybe the Windows Virtual Memory (Page File)
D:\ Project, and Scratch Disks
E:\ Assets
* A bit of experimentation might indicate that the Page File does better on another HDD, as far as ultimate performance is concerned. I have two different Page File locations, on two different machines. On one, splitting the statically managed Page File over C:\ and D:\ yielded the best performance, while on another computer, locating it fully on E:\ was best. Just depends, though locating on C:\ will usually be pretty good. For video-editing, I do like to statically manage the Page File, as is explained in this ARTICLE.
Good luck,

Sound but no Video when trying to play video files - HELP!

I am trying to play video files via Elements Organizer. In this case it is .MOV files. The new screen pops up but all I get is the sound and no video. I have downloaded the newest quicktime player but it did not help. Any ideas?

Hi,
What happens when you play the same file outside Organizer?

Trouble exporting video files HELP!

I have a few Flash animation projects that I want to put on
my demo reel, but I can't get the animations in a usable format.
The bulk of the animation is a walk cycle in a movie clip. Of
course, when I hit play in flash, I see frame one of the movie clip
standing there for 16 frames, then it skips forward and stands over
there for 16 frames, then it skips forward, but the whole animation
plays smoothly when I export the .swf file.
However, whenever I try to export a video file all I get is
this useless frame one skip that you see when you hit play in
Flash. Anyone know how I can fix this? Are there video editing
programs that will take .swf files?
So far I've tried exporting into .avi and .gif.
Whenever I try exporting to .mov, I get this message.
"The installed version of Quicktime does not have a handler
for this type of flash movie. Please consult the documentation for
further information."

There are a couple of things you can try. None great but most
will do. First, make sure you have the latest version of Quicktime
installed. If you can afford it buy the Pro version. Its pretty
cheap and you won't regret it. It makes converting all sorts of
files simple.
Second. I'm not sure what version of Flash you are using. The
older versions of Flash were pretty crappy at exporting video.
Flash CS3 Professional is little better but its something. Anyway,
if you don't have this download the 30day demo and give exporting
.mov from Flash CS3 a shot (after you install the latest version of
Quicktime)
Another thing you can try do is use a screen capture software
such as SnagIt or CaptureWiz. They will allow you to capture your
Flash movie as video and both have demos you can try before you
buy.
And one other thing I have done to capture my Flash files,
which works great, is to capture my screen to video. If you have
the capability to export your monitor to video or better yet a
firewire videocam and then someway to edit it your Flash to video
life will be easy as pie.
Good luck

Compressing large video files - help!

I have about 114GB of video files on my hard drive, and with only 250GB of HD I was wondering how I can compress the files and not lose quality. Is there any software out there, preferably free, or is using the built-in compression option the best?

Hi gaz_reid;
It is now time for you to decide to either get rid of some files or get a more disk space with an external hard drive or larger internal drive.

Transfering video files to external hard drive

I'm trying to transfer videos off my macintosh HD and onto an external hard drive. Using cut and paste, and the drag and drop method. When using the drag and drop the OS pop up box says "could not be moved because "movie" cannot be modified". Also Videos within the hard drive cannot be moved. Anyone have any advice how I can get these files off my mac hard drive and into an external?
Thanks
Mike

Is this with any file or only with video files?

Merge/combine video files. help

I have quite a few files that I would like to merge into one big file. I already downloaded Prism Video Converter to convert the files, but now I'm not sure how to combine them into one. On the main download page for Prism Video Converter is says that you will be able to combine many files into one. Well I've looked through a lot and really can't figure out where/how to do this. The provider of Prism isn't even giving many any answers and won't unless I pay; but the catch is it didn't say I'd have to pay to combine files. What can I do?
Is there a better program to use? I am not really concerned with a cost, free would be nice, but it isn't necessary. I just want to be sure my quality stays in good shape.
Thanks.

I know QT player will play AVI when Perian codecs are installed. I also know my ancient version of QT Pro will edit .mov. I can't guarantee anything but I think getting Quicktime Pro might let you do what you want to do. I don't have any version of QT Pro more recent than about 1997.
Edit:
QT Sync is a freeware utility that has a combine movies tool. I haven't used it so I don't know how successful it is. You might give it a try (and report back here ).
AVIs might present problems. AVI is a container so it doesn't have a rigid set of formats for the enclosed tracks. AVI often has mp3 as the audio format which is not something used by Macs for audio with video. I can't speak from experience but it wouldn't surprise me if you couldn't find an editor to accept AVI with mp3 audio. One thing to check though is MPEGstreamclip. I notice my copy had an additional feature for letting you save AVIs from Quicktime Pro.
If you are trying to play a group of videos then one solution might be not to edit them but to use a player that will string together a set of videos when playing. Maybe something like NicePlayer might help.

Video file help for Adobe Premiere Elements 7

Hello,
I am not a technical person so I don't really understand all the "big words" per se.
I got my movies converted to a DVD from a company and they sent it to me in an mp4 format which I thought I could just import into Premiere and start to edit. Well that didn't work. Trying to figure out how to import it so I could edit it. I know if I convert it through something the quality will go down.
I don't know anything about codecs but it says the Video Codec is LEAD H264 Decoder (3.0) and the Audio codec is LEAD AAC Decoder.
Hope that helps and someone out there could help me.
Stacy

Stacy
Given you have files with .mp4 file extensions on a DVD disc for storage purposes.
And, you want to use these files in a Premiere Elements 7 Windows project. What do you
mean by
I thought I could just import into Premiere and start to edit. Well that didn't work.
How did it not work?
a. When you opened Premiere Elements 7 and went to Get Media/Files and Folders/ did you
get an error message that prevented you from going further?
b. If you imported your file into Organize/Media, did you have a problem after you dragged your video to the Timeline view Timeline or the Sceenline view Filmstrip?
or
c. Was the issue some place else?
Backing up a little, how did you attempt to import the .mp4 from the DVD disc to Premiere Elements 7?
a. Copy file from disc and paste to desktop from where you used Premiere Elements Get Media/Files and Folder?
b. User Premiere Elements 7's Get Media/"DVD(Camcorder or PC DVD Drive)"/Adobe Premiere Elements - Media Downloader?
Once we sort out the above, then I would like to learn more about the properties of your files. Right now we know only that they are .mp4 files that use video compression = LEAD H.264 and audio compression = LEAD AAC. Do you know what we have here...720 x 480 4:3 or 720 x 480 16:9 Widescreen or something else?
Please review the above and do not hesitate to ask for clarification on anything written.
At this point, I am not sure if the problem is related to how you imported that video into Premiere Elements 7 or the properties of the video itself (original or some possible modification of the original).
Please review and consider.
Thank you.

Extreme trouble transfering video files to ZEN MX

I'm having trouble putting videos on my Zen MX. I've tried a multitude of ways to transfer the file(s);
. Using Centrale with a normal avi. file - convert unsuccessful.
2. Using Format Factory to change the avi. file using the preset conditions for Zen MX and then using Centrale with the new file - convert unsuccessful.
3. Using Format Factory to change the avi. file to WMA. format and then using Centrale with the new file - convert unsuccessful.
I just cannot understand why this isn't working. Any suggestions welcome, because if this doesn't work I'm going to have to buy an iPod and I can't be dealing with that shi.

please creative. Scrap the useless fileformat and start support the ones we actually use!

"an error has ocurred while transferring this file" help!!! Muvo2 1.

I keep getting this message every time I try to transfer a file. My computer is recognising my muvo2 and it says I have 569mb of space remaining. The message comes up before the file even begins to transfer - it says 0% when it appears. Anyone else having this problem or have any ideas what to do?
Thanks

I have exactly the same problem with my MuVo? .5 GB!
I know that i had once about .GB of mp3s stored on it, however, I deleted all of them to upload a different mp3 collection. Now when I upload files to the MuVo, it stops when I have transfered about 450 MB. However, Windows-Explorer and Creative Media Source both say that there are still 900 and a few MB left, but when i try to copy a file - again "no space left on device".
I tried to:
delete all files, try transfer again - same effect
run scandisk - no change
format the player from the rescue menu - no change (whatever this does, this is not a real format, more a quickformat)
updated to the latest firmware - still no change!
I'm kinda really pissed now, I spent quite some time googling, but didn't find anyone else with that problem.
So .. where went that "space"? Would it be usefull to re-format the player using the Windows format tool, like suggested in that thread (with the settings from that thread):
http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=dap&message.id=400
I started to do that, but since it was *very* slow and the disk was seeking a lot (battery eaten up after about 20 mins!) I stopped the process.
Maybe I will try that afain tomorrow, but *somehow* this can't be the real solution. Whatever the MuVo does here seems not to be standard behaviour, since scandisk reports the dri've to be OK. Would it be possible to re-partition the MuVo? I guess thats not a good idea, since I believe that the firmware is somewhere on the disk, too.

Transferring video files ( dvd & blu-ray movies)

I can not transfer any movie that are over 3gb to my external hard drive ( my book live duo). Can someone please offer me some help.

To Everyone, I'm okay now, I simply didn't read the instructions correctly on transferring content to the external hard drive. Everything is working just fine. Thank you anyway. I appreciate people wanting to help. Thanks again. Bryon

Transferring video files from camera to external drive.

Forum,
How do I transfer video, or indeed can I, to an external drive using Firewire?
I can connect the camera with Firewire 400 to the computer and the external drive with F/wire 800.
I have not tried because i do not want damage my kit.
Thank you
Michael Craven.

Just connect the drive and see if you can capture to it... many times you can, but sometimes you can't... depends on the FW bridge in the drive. If it's fast enough, you won't have a problem. You won't hurt anything trying at any rate. If it drops frames or something, then a firewire card added to your system to create a second firewire bus will fix you right up.

How can clients view video file that I upload to my Creative Cloud area?

How can clients view video files that I upload to my Creative Cloud area? Is there a special password that they have to use to gain access?
Thanks for any guidance.
Dave

As a video professional, i agree and am VERY disappointed with this policy. I attended CC presentations at various conventions, film festivals and meetups for a year-and-a-half before I made the leap to CC, and no one EVER mentioned a restriction to transferring video files.
Whether it's to save storage space or not, that's how it APPEARS to the end user. Anybody who knows ANYthing about how video pirates commit their crime (which it most-certainly is), knows that there are plenty of FREE, untraceable (or nearly-anonymous) resources to carry it out. The need for anyone to pay $30 or more per-month to do it with an acct that has their info attached to it is ludicrous! If anything it's CONTRIBUTING to piracy to encourage creatives to transfer their material to collaborative parties using a less-secure, more heavily-trafficked third-party service than the one they're paying for exclusive use for.
Adobe's policy makers need to review this restriction and remove it or provide ANOTHER reason why it exists because this one doesn't fly. And if it continues, make sure a disclaimer gets inserted in CC pitch presentations because likely half of the attendees are working with video.
