Transferring video I have taken (AVI file format) to iPodTouch

I would like to transfer a video I have shot and that is in iPhoto to my iPod touch so I can show it to others when I don't have my computer with me. So far I haven't discovered a way to copy it. I can get still photos with no problem.
Is this possible? And if so, can someone point me in the right direction?

Hi,
You will need to put your video through some sort of conversion.
Have a look at this software - http://www.squared5.com/
Good luck,

it sounds like a fualty installation of Lion, this may happen from time to time.
The best thing to do in this situation is to reinstall Lion. You will not loose anything doing this, but you should always keep back ups of your information.

basically hold Cmd+R on boot..
first go to disk utility, verify and repair your disks and permissions. Exit out of Disk utility and then go directly to "reinstall Lion"
choose that and let it reinstall.
Adobe CS6 does need Java to run.
To play your movies you might need to get an application called VLC. VLC is a free app and will play most videos and music files you throw into it.

you have a 64bit intel mac, so get the one for that.

AVI is a legacy file container originated by Microsoft back in 1992 and which has not been officially supported for more than a decade. Like the container, many of the codecs commonly used to create AVI content are also "legacy" compression formats most often supported on PC/Windows platforms. In fact, some codecs have never been transcoded for Mac use. Of those that have, many never made the transition to Mac OS X or the transition to Intel-based platforms. Those codecs that are still supported on the Mac can normally be found in the avi to quicktime converter available as an online download. While some common AVI compression formats may be supported by the QT X Player app, QT 7 currently provides a more compatible AVI playback environment for most "legacy" compression formats. If the codec(s) used in your AVI files are not supported by the avi to quicktime converter for QT use, you can try the VLC media player which may still support more esoteric compression formats. If VLC does not support the files, the normal approach is to discover which specific audio and/or video codecs were used to create the file and perform an Internet search to see if a compatible Mac component is available for download.

How do I get the Codec for Adobe Premiere 6.5?   I have old AVI files I need to edit in a Premiere Elements 9 program.

I have older AVI files from Premier 6.5. I need to edit them in Elements 9, how do I get that old codec?

Thank you for your response. When I said I had tried Camtasia, I meant that I had tried to import the files into Camtasia. However, Camtasia, like Premier Elements, will NOT allow me to import these older Matrox AVI files into their editing programs. These older Matrox AVI files will playback fine in a program I downloaded called "GomPlayer",   Today I discovered that GomPlayer allows me to view the properties of the clip, and they are pasted below. Hopefully, with this newer info, it will help me with my capture sistuation.
Thanks again for your help.

I have looked through the instructions and nothing in there suggests another alternative

QuickTime cannot do this of iteslf: you need to add Flip4Mac:

Why I have only 5 file formats in Adobe Media Encoder?

I have an Adobe Media Encoder CS6. The problem is that, how i have only 5 file formats in the program. These: h.264 and (Legacy), FLV, F4V and MP3. The program doesn't support any more files. If i input a .avi or .3gp file it says: "File format doesn't supported". 1 weak ago it worked for me. Please help me.

The formats that Adobe Media Encoder can use are determined by the other applications that are installed. For example, InDesign and Flash only give AME a very small number of formats; whereas Premiere Pro and After Effects give it many more.

What is the next step after editing or triming a video ? What type of file format to save and what to do after that ?

what is the next step after editing or triming a video?
what type of file format should be save and what to do after that?

In the early days of digital video editing, an export render could take hours! Not many applications are as hard on system resources as video editing, and rendering the final edit is probably the most system intense action of all.
Head on over to the Premiere Pro Hardware forum to see what sort of computer hardware the pros use for NLE (non linear editing), or to the PPBM5 site for a better look.

What you've outlined in this part of the post is all that icloud stores for you outside of the backup. If you want to restore from the icloud backup you will then have for all practical purposes a carbon restoration back to your device if you restore from the icloud backup.

Syncing your device with itunes will then enable you to remove whatever photos you wish to remove from your device deleting them with the computer and not the iphone.

HT3775 I am using OS X Mountain Lion and I have this .avi file but not able to read. What is missing in my setup and what other file do I need to download to enable me to read? I can read mp4 files though.

I agree that VLC is also a good choice but MPlayerX is more user friendly.

Because there's no codec installed on your system for that specific AVI, and there may be no Mac OS X component for it. Try installing Perian.

Have a .mp4 video and would like to use it to burn to a disc and be able to be played on a dvd player, should i use idvd or what? also have a .avi file what should i use? thanks please help

Have a .mp4 video and would like to use it to burn to a disc and be able to be played on a DVD player and a .AVI file what program should I use idvd?

iDVD may or may not work with them – depending what kind of MP4 and AVI each is.
Drag them into iDVD and preview them to check compatibility.
If there are issues, use MPEG Streamclip and re-wrap them as QuickTime.

Quicktime 10 .avi file format

I just got my new MacBook pro with the snow leopard system, and Quicktime 10.0 (90.3.1).
I can view the .avi movie, but have no sound... any suggestions on what to do to listen?

any suggestions on what to do to listen?
The normal solution when a file loads but does not play either the audio or video portion of the content is to determine what codec is not being supported, locate a Mac component version of that component, and install it on you system. In the case of AVI files, the Perian (free) component package will play most "common" audio/video format combinations currently in use on Windows platforms. However, be advised that this file format is old (i.e., the developer dropped official support for it a decade ago) and there are several codecs that have never been transcoded for use on the Mac or may only be available for OS 9 and/or non-Intel systems. In addition, if you already have Perian installed and then upgraded to Snow Leopard, it may be necessary to re-install the package to properly re-link the components for QT X.

AVI file format

Hello
At this moment I use Adobe Premiere Pro, but in the future I want to use Final Cut Studio. Now I make avi file in Microsoft DV format. Is this also possible in FCS ? Al the file that I create in FCS are later used in Premiere Pro, so there must be some kind of compatibility. Those anyone know how compatible FCS is with Premiere Pro
Thanks in advance
Tonnie

You'll have no problems making the switch. All the normal codecs - DV, Uncompressed 10-bit, etc, all work perfectly in both applications.
You can easily make AVI's, but not directly from within FCS. All you have to do is export your finished movie and transcode it in a third-party app. A good one is VisualHub, it's $23 shareware. But as I said, you won't need these to move media between Premiere and FCS.

Need Help! No Video Just Audio With .AVI Files

i got quicktime for my iPod, just only for that cause i think that quicktime really *****... i searched this whole site for an answer. i found something i thought would solve my problems with .avi files but my .avi files are mpeg-4 layered, and there's only a descent answer for indeo files? or something like that. i really need help cause i want to convert an ordinary .avi file to iPod extension... please please help!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is no single codec for movies that have .avi extensions. AVI is a container format, not a specific type of file. An AVI movie may use one of the Indeo codecs or one of the various flavors of DivX, among other possibilities. You'll have to find out what codec was used for the movies you want to view to determine what you need. Note that not all codecs for the various .avi movies are available for QuickTime.
If you want to try "hit and miss", you can try the codecs at http://www.divx.com/ and http://www.3ivx.com/ and see if one of them will work for you
