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?

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 That worked for some, but is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple.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.

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...

Network locations and Airport connection

I've just installed Leopard on my MacBook Pro (late 2008) and did all the software updates (including AirPort Extreme Update 2008-004 which - as I found out too late - seems to cause a lot of problems).
Network System Preferences show funny beaviour: Every time I try to switch off AirPort connection for a new network location the network location will disappear completely and settings will switch back to the last active network location. So it is impossible to create a network location with AirPort inactive.
Apart from that, my System does not connect to my AirPort Base Station (Dual Ethernet, 802.11b) wireless LAN (not public, WEP-encrypted, MAC address filter). My other Macs (OS X 10.4 Tiger) connect to the AirPort wireless LAN without any problems. (I double-checked all the settings of course.)
Has anybody had similar problems? Thanks for your help.

Hi: located in england bought a new macbook pro upgraded leopard to 10.5.5 with that upgrade that got pulled very quickly.
I also have an old g4 with 10.4.11
The g4 works perfectly in recognizing the airport network and is up and running in no time. no problems.. the macbookpro with leopard has problems recognizing and logging in tothe the same router. it needs help or I just i there waiting. there is no set way of getting it back to working. but I tend to go into network preferences and it says airport logged on but no connection. the g4 is happy and set up. I then turn off airport and turn it on. eventually I am back and running just fine but do not go to sleep or close the machine cheers
ps. I work from locations with different routers and different isp's same problems......
therefore it must leopard...(or the airport card in the machine)

Some Video Converts and other do

Having trouble. Is there another program I can use or a setting I can change to make this not happen?
I'm using both XP and Vista and get the same error. I also use the Creative Video Converter and ZENCast.
Thanks.
Creative Vision:M 60 GB

If an app does not behave as expected, try closing the app completely and reboot the iPad. It appears as though you have the original iPad. It helps if you list your iPad model and the iOS that you are running.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Converted VOB file to mpeg with Freemake Video Converter and still not able to load same file in Premiere CS6

I have this project where I needed to change the audio part from a dvd so first tried to load VOB file but Adobe Premiere did not support VOB file so then used Freemake Video Convert tool to convert in to mpeg file so that I can import in premiere timeline. Still no success so I guess its not supported either.

Maybe you are missing some codec. CS6 does support mpeg.

MacBook Pro and Airport connection problem

My MacBook Pro has a volatile connection to my Airport Express base station.
I have a 2-month old 15.4" MacBook Pro (Intel Core 2 Duo), all software updates are installed, etc. I connect to the internet through an Airport base station. For the past few days my MBP has had a dodgy connection, slowing down at seeming random and then occasionally disconnecting from the base station entirely, although the Airport icon on the MBP is always on. While downloading a file I noticed that the speed of the connection was incrementally slowing until it stopped, and it was only after a couple of retries and then connecting to the base station again (by finding it amongst the other networks on the pull-down menu that you get when you click on the Airport icon) that my connection resumed at its previous speed.
My 12" PowerPC iBook connects to the internet over this Airport base station at full speed, no problems.
I've tried resetting the PRAM on my MBP without change.
One possibly noteworthy change is that this past week I updated my Parallels software to 3.0, which may have an effect based on some of the other threads I've read.
What now?!

After trying all of the above the suggestions, the problem returned as before. However, after digging some more I discovered that the issue appears to lie with the 10.4.10 version of the Mac OS; when I checked the software log under the system profiler I noticed that I had installed that update at about the time my Airport problems began. Apple then quietly released a v 1.1 combo update to 10.4.10 on July 2nd, which once installed appears to have resolved the problem. You can find the download at http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10410comboupdatev11intel.html
What's curious is that originally Apple listed that the v 1.1 combo update resolved some issues with RAW image data, and some sound problems, which don't seem to have anything to do with Airport.

Mac desktop and Airport Connection

I have problem on My Mac desktop. I can't connect to my airport. my other devices had no problem with the airport connection. It shows full bar on my wifi bar but when I started to browse it tells me not connected to the Internet. I've tried resetting everything but no luck for me. Please help. Thanx!

What specifically have you tried resetting? If you are seeing and connecting to your network then that's a big first step. I would try first to see if it's a settings issue. The easiest way to do this is to create a new network location and see if the issue persists. Go to System Preferences -> Network. Select the box next to the word "locations" at the top and select "edit locations." Hit the plus symbol and name the location whatever you want (I use "test" in these situations). Make sure it's selected and hit "done" and then Apply in the bottom right of the preferences page. Give it about 30 seconds and then try to browse again. If you're successful, it was a settings issue. You can now do one of two things: find the individual setting that was causing the issue in the other location, or just use the new location you've already created. You'll probably opt for the latter, which is what I would recommend. Very, very few users have a need for a particular location setting. If you're still having a problem then it may be more complicated to resolve. I would try it on another network (at a friend's house, or at Starbucks) to make sure it's not network related. Just because your machine is the only one not working doesn't exclude the network as the root of the issue. If you have problems there, I would consult your local Apple Store or Apple Certified repair facility as it may take some deeper troubleshooting to resolve.

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)!!

Weird problem: Random musicstream and Airport connection blackouts.

Greetings Appleforum members,
this is the first time I post on this forum so bear with me concerning any formalities or convention my post might lack (in which correction is appreciated).
I have a problem with my airport express over which I stream music by connecting the Airport Express to my (secured) wi-fi network.
The problem consists in having seemingly random dropouts of my music stream (music temporarily goes mute or stops playing entirely) that's sent from my 'Blackbook' which is connected to the same wi-fi network as the Airport express (I just 'added' the latter to the network) and in certain cases the Airport express itself gets knocked out as well (the light flashing orange for a bit, though this isn't necessarily the case when the music drops out).
To add to the overall weirdness it even seems to affect my wireless mouse (a cheap mouse with a wireless USB receiver) whose movements
gets sporadically distorted along with the music stream interferrence; when I pause iTunes, the mouse acts normal again (allthough this too isn't necessarily the case when the music stream drops out, but coincides with it sporadically).
I know my way around Mac OS X for the most part, but lack the necessary experience in networking Airport issues to solve this problem and to say the least, it's quite annoying when your music stream drops out on occasion, sometimes near every minute for an hour long (in which case I revert to smaller wired speakers which do not have this issue, meaning that it is some sort of wireless problem).
I have an iPad as well and have connected it via Airplay to my Airport to avoid my mac (hoping to isolate the problem to its network card), but the iPad shows the same sporadic dropouts, though less frequent and less strong.
I have honestly no idea how to isolate the problem or even narrow it down a bit so if anyone here has any tips or preferably a complete solution, it would be much appreciated. I hope to return the favor someday concerning someone else's problem on these boards (should I have useful insights).
Thanks in advance, Robin, NL.

Hei,
I have experienced the same thing for ages, and finally got around to trying to fix it. I seem to have found a solution which may well be temporary, but has worked fine for several days now whereas I got frequent dropouts when listening to podcasts via iTunes.
My solution was to change the wifi channel from 6 to 1 - this was recommended by an Android app Wifi Analyzer, but I see it is quite dynamic as wifis are turned on/off in my vicinity.
You change the channel via Airport Utility, Base Station Manual Setup, Wireless Tab, Channel... simply try another one and see if it helps

Windows XP Pro and Airport connectivity

We just purchased an HP laptop running XP Pro. It locates my airport and asks me to enter secure 13 character password. It will not connect but will easily connect to several others in neighborhood. Is it true that I must enter PW in Hex Dec? If so, where do I find a conversion table? Thanks.

Yes.
The problem you are having probably lies with the encryption key.
The key has to be obtained from the Airport Admin Utility.
Online HEX conversion tables use a different algorithm so don't always work when converting Airport passwords.

Security update 2007-005 and airport connection

Please help. I downloaded the security update 2007 005 on my powerbook G4 Friday night. Now I cannot get on my airport. It says there was an error joining the airport network (name of my airport) It gives me 2 options try again
or ok. i have tried everything. I even tried pinging my pc that I am on now to email this to see if I could connect with anything.But the powerbook fails to send any ping. I have rebooted, both the airport and the powerbook--several times. I have looked for information
everywhere about this both in Mac Help on my computer and online and have turned up nothing that can fix this unless I want to reinstall the operating system.
My only conclusion is that the security update did this. I was online (of course) as I downloaded the update and ever since I can not get online with the airport. Thank heavens I have a PC to get email or maybe get help through a forum like this. I have been trying to fix this all weekend. In system preferences /network status it says airport is turned on but not connected to a network when there is one. Any advice?
powerbook g4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I have a same problem, everything worked fine until I've downloaded security update. My Airport doesn't allow me to connect to my PASSWORD protected network. My PC is working fine. The only way is to be connected to open source. Called Mac support and they blame router (it is not mac's router). Their suggestion is to reinstall whole system (and lose software I payed for) or buy new router (macs????). So I am stuck. The advice by apple support was NOT to download updates!!!!Why on Earth do they have them????
