Video conversion for N8

I've been trying to convert movies for my N8. So far, I couldn't get the right conversion factors such as the resolution, bitrate, frame rate, video codec, etc.
The videos I convert work on my N8 but the size always exceeds 1GB, and the video isn't in full screen.
Does anyone here knows the best video conversion setting for the N8?
Thanks in advance.

[Windows] Video conversion for iPod Touch on 2.0

I have recently purchased an iPod Touch 16Gb - cost £242 -, on software version 1.1.4. Immediately installing the latest iTunes (7.7.1.11) with Quicktime (7.5 Build 861), I upgraded the Software version to 2.0. Cost £6.99
Then I went to transfer videos I had on my Nano to my new Touch, and gave me the error:
"Some of the songs or videos in your iTunes library, including "xxxxxxx", were not copied to the iPod "xxxxxxxx iPod" because they cannot be played on this iPod."
So I did some googling and saw that Quicktime could be upgraded to Pro to transcode videos for the iPod. So £24.99 later, tried to save the videos and got the same error. I'm a bit miffed now.
More googling and got the Jodix Ipod converter download - free. Converted into a format Quicktime recognises, added into iTunes and still gives the same error.
So I have paid nearly £280 (est. $500) for hardware / software which wont do the job its built for... Any Questions?

Strangely enough, I have managed to get my videos working. The solution to the problem at the mo is to use low-quality videos. I encoded my videos at 1500kbps, after transcoding them down to 700kbps they seem to run fine and no further converting in iTunes needed. Interesting, seems Apple don't want us putting our own videos on at a HD watchable bit rate - nice.

Video Conversion for iMovie

Hi All
I am a new mac user and need to find a 3rd party converter for my .m2ts video files that I had transferred from my old PC to the new iMac. I purchased iskysoft video converter at the suggestion the apple store tech but I am having problems with it. iskysoft will convert the .m2ts video clips to .mp4 but when I import those into iMovie, they are getting corrupted. The imported .mp4 videos will play in iMovie for a little while and then they disappear leaving grey squares.
I am hoping for a free converter but will pay for one that is known to work well. Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
stew4

Two that are good are Voltaic HD and ClipWrap.

With Creative Suite 6 Design and Web Premium package can i do simple video conversion for upload to web?

Downloading video from a Sony HD HandyCam 8.9mp.... would like to convert from raw video to optimum video on web? Which program?

I saw that one in the package and was thinking i might could use it. I've never worked with it before so i'll have to look for some adobe tutorials and check it out. Thanks so much for your quick reply.

Workflow and optimum video conversion for iPhone/iPod

During my work, I produce video footage which is generally regular 16:9 aspect ratio, but quite large in size.
I was wondering how people prepare video for import into iTunes and use on an iPod/iPhone. Ideally I'd like to compress the size of the video to the smallest that it will show cleanly on these devices. To make matters more complicated, I have an Apple TV too which I'd like to show these videos on, but the quality needn't be exceptional.
I'm interested in your workflow, settings, file format etc and if you use any automator tasks etc to speed up the process.

Sorry... posted in the wrong forum, should have been Mac iTunes...

Video Conversion Questions

Am having a couple of problems with video conversion for the Apple TV.
I had to reset and install OSX a few months back, now when I use FFMPEGX to convert some AVI files to H264 it is writing the audio and video as seperate files, cant understand why its suddenly doing this as worked fine before, anyone got any ideas?
Secondly, If I try to use Quicktime, Flip4mac writes that it was done with a trial version all over the video output, but I have the Pro Version of Quicktime so can't understand why it uses flip4mac at all, isnt Quicktime supposed to do this by itself, and is there a way round this, short of buying flip4mac?

when I use FFMPEGX to convert some AVI files to H264 it is writing the audio and video as seperate files
Sounds like FFMPEG is doing this. Check the source codecs and/or your default/manual settings. Some conversions may require an intermediate conversion in which the audio and video are first "demuxed" and placed in separate files which are them converted to the final compression formats and then merged to a single file.
Secondly, If I try to use Quicktime, Flip4mac writes that it was done with a trial version all over the video output, but I have the Pro Version of Quicktime so can't understand why it uses flip4mac at all, isnt Quicktime supposed to do this by itself, and is there a way round this, short of buying flip4mac?
While QT recognizes the AVI file container (i.e., AVI is not a compression format), you must have the same codecs to make the file (many combinations are possible) playable and/or convertible to a fully supported QT compression format. QT does not supply proprietary interleaved codecs and you must install your own. DivX, Flip4Mac, Perian, etc. all have codecs that play different codecs that may be contained in the AVI container. As long as there are no conflicts, then everything works fine. In some cases, however, two or more components may be able to play/convert the same codec. In this event, QT seems to call the handler which was last installed. If this is the case, then you may be able to remove/re-install codecs in a different order which satisfies your needs. In other cases, the codec in question may only be supplied one of the third-party providers and you have no choice but to use their product. Some of the providers allow you to play the codecs in question but require you to purchase conversion decoders and/or decoders separately. (E.g., DivX and Flip4Mac.) Whether or not you purchase these products depends on how badly you want to convert the file in question.

Best video conversion app for 2009 mac pro?

hi, i just bought a 2009 2.66ghz quad-core mac pro, and as i have 4 cores (or 8 virtual cores with HT), i wanted some video conversion app that really uses the 8 cores. Can someone suggest me what app is the best for multicore?
thanks!!

For multicores I have no idea, (even though I have a Pro), I don't think many of the apps made are written to take advantage of multicore computers. That said you've not mentioned any formats that you really need it to handle so any suggestions made may be a little hit and miss.
The two I use are Handbrake and Visual Hub.

Video Conversion Software for Mac

Hi Guys,
Can anyone recommend a good powerful package for converting various video formats for Mac?
Thanks in advance!

Keep the PC.
Compressor is an encoder, not necessarily a universal transcoder. Look for products by Sorenson, Telestream and Autodesk. Spendy.
You're not going to be happy with Quicktime's remarkable limitations and the lack of third party support for all of those different formats and codecs. Hundreds of codecs were never written for QT.
Use your PC to wrangle the clips into a common format and then port the file to your Macintosh for editing in FCP.

Pinnacle Video Capture for Mac

After talking with a bunch of salesmen (considering getting a DvD writer), I took the advice of someone in the Apple Store and bought a Pinnacle Video Capture for Mac to copy my laserdiscs. It was $100 before tax, and didn't do stuff I don't plan on doing anyway. I did spend another $25 to get an S-video cable.
I installed the software and connected it up to my LD. I started capturing the movie, and selected S-Video (although in the small window they showed, I didn't see any difference between that and video out. I selected a max time from a limited selection, and let it record.
After a while, I went downstairs and saw that the audio and video were not synchronized at all. I let it continue.
After a while I came down again, and the movie was finished, so I stopped it. I found the MP4 - it was in the iTunes movie directory, and played it in iTunes. I fast-forwarded it to near the end, the voice and video were way off-set.
I haven't tried burning this yet.
Quicktime player doesn't think this is a valid movie file. I selected "open with" and "other" and the recommended applications had iMovie greyed out.
Why in the world would the audio and video record at different speeds?
Do I have to buy software to edit the movie down to the correct size?
My Mac has:
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac7,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 800 MHz
Boot ROM Version: IM71.007A.B03
SMC Version: 1.21f4
I noticed the Pinacle Video Capture program was still running, so I tried to quit it, and got a window asking for my administrator ID and passsword to allow Pinnacle Video Capture to make changes. Why?

The audio drifted out of sync because the Dazzle doesn't support locked audio. For short videos (say, under 10 minutes) this won't be very noticeable but when you capture longer videos it becomes progressively worse over time.
What do you want to do with your Laserdisk copies? Watch them on your iPod? Edit and/or burn to DVD?
A device like the Canopus ADVC-110 will do the video/audio conversion properly, keeping the audio and video in sync regardless of the length of your video. It converts to DV, not to MP4, and you would use it with iMovie or Final Cut (not iTunes). However you can export your video from iMovie or Final Cut to iPod/AppleTV formats.
The Dazzle device will not work directly with iMovie or Final Cut.
ps. If all you really want to do is transfer your Laserdisc videos to DVDs, it will be a whole lot faster & simpler to get a DVD player/recorder that has analog inputs and record directly to DVDs. There are many brands & models to choose from and many good ones are as inexpensive as the $100 you spent on the Pinnacle converter.

Video Card for UT 2004

Okay, here' s a geeky question to distract eveyrone from all the really important issues at hand...
I want to order my Mac Pro today but I am still hemming and hawing over what video card to get and was wondering about UT 2004. I know there is a new and improved UT 2007 on the horizon, but is the Nvidia 7300 sufficient for UT 2004? Or would the Radeon X1900 be much better?
I'm not a power gamer, I only play every few months as a social thing with freinds. But I've been playing on my G4 PowerBook because my G4 dual 500 can barely open the game. I might be inetrested in Doom 3 or other Mac-friendly games if I had time and they didn't run like a clunker.
Thanks!
PowerBook G5 15 Titanium 1.5 GHz Mac OS X (10.3.7)

Definitely the X1900XT, if only for the future. Over twice the speed of the 7300 in Quake 4, according to Apple's benchmarks. Ordered a Radeon for my Mac Pro, and I'm looking forward to seeing UT2004 fly. It looks gorgeous on my current setup, but the lack of CPU grunt shows in modes like Onslaught. As for Red Orchestra (the WW2 total conversion for UT2004)…sheesh, it just chugs.
And you can always justify the expense by playing more
The Radeon 9800 Pro I'm using right now is actually faster than a 7300 GT, btw (OK, the CPU's another story)...not bad for three year old technology!

Final Cut Timeline Feed as video source for iChat?

I was at the Apple NAB presentation in Vegas a few weeks ago, and one of the things they showcased in regard to iChat AV was the ability for an editor to videoconference with several other people at once and one of the video feeds in the chat window was actually the output from the editor's Final Cut Pro timeline. As he made changes in the FCP timeline, he could play it out in real time and all the people in the chat could see the video feed and make comments on the edit.
OK- so we were excited because that's a workflow issue we have here. So, we bought some iSight cameras and Tiger and started to do some testing here. The only problem is that it doesn't seem very easy to set up. At first I just thought, "well, they are just playing the timeline out of the firewire port on the FCP machine and another computer is ingesting that firewire stream as a video source for iChat." except when you connect 2 Macs together with a firewire cable, the FCP system doesn't detect a DV video device to output to and the iChat system doesn't detect the incoming firewire stream as a "camera". I spoke to tech support and they said it's not something they support so no luck there.
I did find an article on Creative Cow about someone doing something similar, but it involved exporting the FCP timeline out through a Kona analog video card into an external tape deck that does analog to DV conversion which then can be imported back into iChat as a DV stream, but last time I checked, a Kona card would run me around 1500 bucks.
Anyone have any other ideas?

HI Jeremy,
Welcome to the Aple Discussion Pages.
Based on the Auto Responding iChat Accounts that play films I would guess they were either using an AppleScript to import FCP as the Video sourdce or usiing an Add-On like iChatUSBCam that also alows you to change the video source to the desktop.
iChatUSBcam has a new beta for Tiger http://www.ecamm.com/mac/ichatusbcam/

How can I change the default video conversion applied when I copy an AVI file from my PC to my Android HTC One M8 phone?

Here's the situation...
I have an Android HTC One M8 phone which I connect via USB cable to my PC, then I use Windows Explorer to drag and drop an AVI file from my PC onto a target folder on the phone. When I would do this after I had first purchased my phone a message box
would come up with the heading "Convert and Copy" and ask me "Do you want to convert <filename> before it's copied to your device?" and give me the options "Yes, convert and copy (recommended)" or "No, just
copy Your file will be copied, but might not play on your device."
If I chose to convert it converted the file to MP4. No problem, that's what I wanted.
The problem I now have is that after doing some work with other video applications a while ago where I was outputting WMV files I now find that the default conversion for the above described copy from PC to Android phone now converts files to WMV.
I simply want it to go back to converting video files copied to my phone as MP4, but I can't seem to find where I can set this!
It appears that the copy/conversion process in Explorer is being handled in the "Portable Devices Shell Extension" dll - WPDSHEXT.DLL
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to set the default video conversion back to MP4 ???
Thanks

Thanks Rob.
I actually had no clue what the core problem was caused by. So it's Windows itself...that helps some.
I'll resubmit there. It might actually have saved time for it to simply have been moved to there instead of off-topic, though I suppose you have to follow protocol.

Is there a way to shorten iMovie video conversion ?

I am starting with a "m2ts" video file.
I purchased a video conversion program from the Mac App Store.   It is called “AnyVideo converter HD". It is well reviewed.
So, I dropped in my "m2ts" file. I set the conversion to "Computer MOV 720p HD". "AnyVideo converter HD" converted a 1 minute video in about 15 seconds to a "mov".   The converted file had excellent picture quality and sound, it played perfectly using QuickTime.
When I dropped this 60 second clip into iMovie 06 (set for 720p) it's conversion process took 35 minutes ?!?!   The result was flawless! However, a two-hour video conversion would not be complete until about the time Capt. Kirk joins Starfleet.
How can I speed this up ?

baltwo - thank you for the expert advice.
I did as you instructed and the situation is better but I don't believe it's solved.
I still get 3 versions of Photoshop when I right click on a PSD. I also get Dashcode and Textwrangler - which are the oddest associations. All together I get 25 apps responding to "Open With" on a PSD. And this is an improvement.
Do you think I would get even better results if I ran the same command again?
Thanks again.
