Video converter/burning software...

What is recommended to prep MP4 to burn to DVD?
I have a few MP4 movies I'd like to put on DVD for my grandsons. I have "Burn" but only works on my DVD player on the computer and a few select external DVD players. I just downloaded DVD Cloner but that isn't helping with the MP4s>DVD....suggestions?

Poor job by Apple Support. This one is officially documented, even though there's a flaw in the relevant instructions. (They should have at least known that the article existed.)
I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

Video Converter Application/Software For Mac

I would like some recomendations on there types of apps.
I plan on mostly converting .mkv and .avi to .mp4 or any format that is compatible with the iPhone 4 and/or AppleTV 3.
I have seen the Smart Converter on the App Store but i am not so sure about it

What do you need it to do?
SnapzProX is the traditional leader, but it's been falling behind in the last few years due to its aging UI and feature set.
There's a new wave of capture apps that do more than SnapzProX. Some prefer iShowU now. The Layers app records windows as individual objects so if you later notice something was in the wrong place, you can rearrange them afterwards instead of reshooting. Camtasia is a popular Windows app that many Mac users considered superior to SnapzProX and were happy Camtasia finally came over to the Mac. ScreenFlow has some features that SnapzProX is definitely missing like the ability to highlight where the cursor is, and display an overlay of which shortcut keys are being pressed.
If you only want to record the entire screen and you're not picky about frame rate, quality, formats, or presets, you can just use the built-in screen capture in Snow Leopard.

Video converting and burning home videos

Do anyone know the best program to convert my sonyhandycam video files and then what software I should use to burn these home videos onto a DVD? Sony's software is not compatible with Mac and iMovie won't recognize them! iDVD is not on my Mac (just purchased a few weeks ago)!!

The current Apple thinking is that the entire world has access to fast broadband and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that nothing could be further from the truth has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. That worked for some, but is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple. Also, you can complain bitterly here, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between using iCloud and burning DVDs:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion or will come with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD.
However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD.

Handbrake is the way to go.
Quicktime Pro does not have the ability to rip and convert DVDs.

Best video to ipod video converter software

What is the best program I can buy for coverting my dvd's and other videos (including recorded tv shows on my dvr) to ipod video? Thanks.

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 withPC’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

Trying to convert video made in iMovie from Mp4 to M4v so I can burn to DVD downloaded Aimersoft video converter but not having any luck

I have downloaded a wedding video done on my iPad and put it in iMovie on my MAC. Have spent many hours refining it and now want to burn onto DVDs for other family.
When I did this same thing 4 years ago, I had one-to-one help at apple store and saved the video in M4V format and it was not a problem to share the video.
Now this video is in Mp4 and I need it in M4V - that is what the burning devise tells me.
I downloaded a video converter, but it didn't seem to make the coversion.
IDEAS?

Have you tried this -> https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/free-mp4-converter/id693443591?mt=12?
It's free at the Mac App Store...

I need easy audio and video converting and editing software?

I need easy audio and video converting and editing software that wont cost $400.

I highly recommend you try Video Monkey. It's free, though donations are certainly accepted, and does an excellent job of converting .mov to .wmv. Choose Best (2 Pass) for Encoding Speed and depending upon the size of your original file, uncheck 320 pixels wide to create a larger converted image. I set Quality to "Go Nuts".
Another good commercial program is Video Converter Ultimate for Mac. It works as video converter and editor. The version for 2 Pass conversion is approximately $69. , which is considerably less than the $400+ that Adobe Premiere is asking for its editor. I'd still prefer a freebie though, but there's little choice...

Premiere doesnt play my m2v file and how do i export videos correctly to burn to dvd. also any suggestions on dvd burning software

exactly as i stated above:
i tried exporting my video project via mpeg2-dvd option which put my video in the m2v. file format. the file format is showing blank when i go to put it in any dvd burning software. also when i put the file back into premiere it shows no media but has the entire duration of the video project on it with 3.5 gb. what is going on and can anyone help assist me with this frustrating issue

Best Video Converter Software

Hi,
I would like to know which is the best video converter software for my MBP.
the software should convert files very quickly, most software takes too much time.
So, please help me to identify one.
Thanks.

Handbrake is a good program, handles most formats and will output files compatible with many devices
As to speed: this is down to CPU and RAM.

I am looking for a high quality video converter from MTS or M2TS format to MAC...there are loads of softwares claiming they can do it but all turned out to be disappointing qualitywise...any idea?

FCE, Sony HD Camera, Family Video Editing, & Burning (HD?)DVD

Ok. Here goes ... I am a new iMac enthusiast who has "seen the light". That being said, I will be purchasing my first iMac in 30 days and I am hopefull that my expectation(s) do not fall flat because they are unrealistic. The only expectation in which there appears to be some doubt is this ... I am planning to convert all of my family videos (present formats of VHS, VHS-C, & AVCHD) to a HD format on a DVD, or at least to another electronic hardware such as a hard drive or a library of SD cards. Well, how many holes do I have in my plan? Before you answer, allow me to tell you my understanding of the barriers. First of all the actual conversion of VHS format to a digital format. I do have a Plextor Digital Video Converter with which I have, in the past, successfully converted the analog VHS format to a digital format and saved on a Windows PC, so I do have some experience with that effort. I do understand the labor intensive exercise this could prove to be. Second, I anticipate the VHS-C conversion to be about the same process. However, what about the video that I presently have on my Sony HDR-SR11? I have already done some importing and editing of said digital video via my daughter's MacPro & iMovie, but what about burning it to DVD? Of course, when I burned the video to DVD it converted to standard format. I want it to be in a HD format. From what I have seen in forums and various discussions on the net, this is almost impossible without some relatively complicated manipulation via Toast 10, BluRay drive, etc. type effort. What is the deal? Why the black hole of interface when it comes to burning digital video to a HD format, even when the original source is HD? It seems to me that there is a huge opportunity for Apple to capture a tremendous segment of business by providng an "Apple-like" seemless process of conveting (AVC)HD video and enabling the burning (archiving) of such video to a digital disk in either iMovie or FCE or whatever, be it a DVD or SD card.
Ok ... back to my question. Is the gap as large as I understand it to be? Is there no other way to accomplish this task? Is FCE a viable option and/or tool in this effort or not? Am I better off using Toast 10 or is that not even the answer? Help!

Hi and welcome to the forum!
I think your expectations are on the whole very realistic, and FCE would certainly help in what you seem to be wanting to do. For converting old VHS tapes, an analog to DV converter will do the trick. You simply plug in the converter to your camera, and it should convert the analog to a DV format that you can capture directly into FCE with the DV Converter preset to make things easier for you.
As for using AVCHD, FCE does not edit it natively but will convert it upon ingest to Apple Intermediate Codec for editing natively. Not much quality is lost in this conversion, and the Log and Transfer interface within FCE that you use to ingest AVCHD from your camcorder is top notch.
The thing you have to understand about HD-DVDs is that they are very costly to produce and view, with a rather small viewer base. It is possible as you said to burn HD DVDs using Toast or the DVD Studio Pro that comes with Final Cut Studio. Even then you would need a separate Blue-ray disc burner to hook up to your computer, the expensive HD discs themselves, and an HD DVD reader to hook up to your HD TV. I guess the reason why iDVD does not offer HD DVD burning is that there are a relatively small amount of people who require it or have the funds to make it work smoothly. Very few people have HD DVD readers in their homes anyway, so you can be assured that most DVDs you would burn would be played solely on your machine.
Do not give up hope! SD DVDs still preserve pretty good quality, are easy to use with the software installed on the Mac, and are assured to play on the majority of TVs owned by people today. If you are bent on getting the HD to work for your TV, Ian's helpful post on [viewing HD videos|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10506824&#10506824] with an inexpensive media player might make more sense for you.
So all in all, FCE is a viable tool for most things you would like to do with video. However, if you are sure you want to burn to HD DVDs you will need other software and equipment than what comes with your Mac.

Has anyone used Wondershare DVD burning software on Mountain Lion please?

Have uopgraded to Mountain Lion and therefore lost iDVD. Is Wondershare DVD burning software linked to iMovie effective please?

Yes we had this issue too over a year ago and decided to research what would be the best alternate. We came up with Wondershare, see here http://www.burnworld.net/mac/wondershare-video-converter-ultimate-review.html

Editing videos then burning them to a DVD

I take a lot of pictures and movies, so I would like to know if there is software from Adobe like Photoshop, Photoshop Elements that I can edit the videos, delete some, and most important burn them to a DVD so we can view them on the television?
Also will the program be a able to convert some of the video files to work on your software? I have noticed that some DVD burner software doesn't recognize the file types. Does Photoshop Elements have something to convert them? I currently have Photoshop 5.0 but would consider getting a newer version along with the P. Elements if it could do what I want?
Thanks, cmkimmey

The best buy, especially on-line is the combo.
Photoshop Elements 12 + Premiere Elements 12
Check the tech specs to ensure you PC meets the minimum requirements to run them.

Insanity is hereditary, you get it from your children

Tony,
Yes, I've installed a lot of software from Give Away of the Day.I've never encountered any malware or spyware characteristics from any of the GAOTD's I've installed.
The whole point of the site is to provide, for free, commercial software but only on a single day.
From their FAQ:
Is GOTD a trial?
Every program we give away is not a trial. We provide you with full-functioning registered version of software titles.
There are two points you need to remember:
* you have to install AND activate/register the product according to instructions given in the readme.txt file attached to every GOTD package.
* it should be done while the giveaway offer for the software is still on (within 24 hours).
Still we do not provide you with the lifetime license in terms of the fact that our package can be used to install the program on giveaway date only. It means that you will not be able to re-install the program after PC crash or install the program on another PC after the giveaway day is over.
I personally take the view that anything I download from GAOTD is a 'souped up trial' and wouldn't incorporate anything into a workflow unless I was prepared to purchase the product in the event of a failure of the GAOTD version. I guess, from the software producers point of view, making their product free for a single day is a marketing cost and they hope to gain business from click-throughs and personal recommendations.
Generally they have a video related GAOTD a couple of times a month. I post details here if I think it may be of interest to the PRE community. Video conversion software is quite a common item on GAOTD (although many are simply phone, portable media or youtube converters that may be of limited use). The one I posted yesterday looks to be a much more advanced converter - sadly though I don't have any HD clips to test it with.
Hope this helps to explain the GAOTD model more clearly.
Please note that I do not have ANY connection with GAOTD.
Cheers,
Neale

Video converting and Airport Connection

Hi guys. i dont know whats going on here... Everytime i started exporting a video from final cut, or converting something on quicktime or visualhub or whatever, anything that demands a lot of power, my airport connection gets lost... It doesnt show it visually. all the bars are still black but suddenly no other SSIDs appears on the list (normally it appears a couple of them), and nothing works, nothing network-wise. not even my apple tv. then i decide to turn off and on the airport. so not even my network appears anymore... I noticed that If i leave it like that for a while (dont know how long) it will eventually come back, but if im a hurry i have to restart the MBP...
Anybody has had any expierence like this?
