Video Files in.m4v format

I am trying to send my client some .m4v files to load into WIndows iTunes and onto an iPod and the cant get it to work...we are in different towns.
I sent the .zip file (containing an little 3 minute .m4v movie) up to my FTP server. They have no FTP on their end so they have to use the web.
I gave them the address to download the file and they cant seem to get it to work. ( it downloaded fine for me on a mac and went into iTunes with no problem).
Is there some weird thing I have to do to send this file so they can download on a Windows box, get it into iTunes and load it onto their iPod???
Thanks

I don't use Mac, but I do remember (a long, long time ago) that files from Mac users did not show the file extension (e.g., *.mp4) when they were handed over to a Windows user. Try to get the file recipient to simply download the file first, then rename the file (making sure that it has the appropriate file extension only once). Then import it into iTunes, sync the Pod, etc.
Good luck!

How do I create video files in M4V format just like iTunes video clips?

Hello everyone,
I have bought many video clips from iTunes which I like to play when I have invited guests.
Now, as you know, some video clips are not available on iTunes. I do have some music DVDs though and would like to add some video clips from the DVDs to my iTunes library. I converted them to the M4V format. However, the format still seems to be different from the format that iTunes uses for its music video clips. Because when I add a video bought from the iTunes store AND one of my own videos in a playlist, iTunes tells me that it is not usual to mix videos and music in the same playlist.
Does anyone have a suggestion how I can create the same format for the videos I get from my DVDs, so that I can mix them in the same playlist together?
Thanks for your help!

Umm... has anyone pondered a situation for a days if not weeks on end before mustering up the courage to ask for help and then found the solution minutes after asking? Yeah, this is one of those occasions. Weird.
In my defense, the user interface seems a bit obtuse. When you click "Playlists" and then "Create Playlist" at the bottom of the screen you then must click "Dates, "Folders", or "All Videos" to search for videos. The "obtusity" is that it didn't seem intuitive to me that I then had to search in those other headings after I selected to create a playlist. I assumed that the "Create a Playlist" window that then popped up would include all videos in the watched folders. When you see a video you will find that there is a green circle with a plus sign on the upper right corner. Clicking that will add it to the playlist that you are creating. When you're satisfied with the playlist, give it a name and then save it.
*sigh*

What is the best software for converting video files to .ogg format?

In trying to html5 compliant I want to convert my video files to the .ogg format. After a lot of searching for video converters, I cannot find one that does this; although several claim to but actually don't. Converting audio isn't so much of a problem. So, can you suggest a tool for converting video files to .ogg format?

See this Wikipedia article for some encoders:

When trying to convert quicktime mpg video files to m4v I am unable to open them or lose the audio completely. How can I fix this?

So I am in nursing school and am making a group project that involves interviews of current RN's. I've been tasked with putting the video together from all the clips, even though I don't really have any experience with iMovie or iMovieHD (both of which I have on my MacBookPro). One of the interviews was recorded on what I think must have been some kind of Sony camera (I can find out if this is important), but I got the files off of a flash drive that my group member gave me. The files all opened in quicktime with no problem with complete audio and video, but when I tried to open it in either iMovie or iMovieHD it stated it could not "parse" the file (in HD) or just simply did not open (in regular iMovie). I'll have to learn the program either way but have been messing around with iMovieHD more so I would prefer to use this if I can. How can I convert the MPG files to m4v and still retain the audio part of the video? I've tried loading it into iPhoto and they won't load. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated since I'm running out of time to put this video together! Thanks!!

Hi Grace,
The free app MPEG Streamclip may be able to convert the file to a more suitable format. It can be downloaded from the developer's site here:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
Here's a User Tip by AppleMan1958 that provides some more information about MPEG Streamclip (it's about importing homemade DVDs, but similar principles apply):

Converting .MOV video file into FLV format?

Hello, I finished editting a corporate video for client and they want to know if I can also send them an FLV format video.
Does anyone know how I can do this. I edited video in Final Cut Pro and used Compressor to export my final .mov video file.
How do I make this a FLV file?
Thanks~

The best method would be to use a Flash encoder to transcode the video. Do you have a Flash encoding application?
Another method would be to export an H.264 file of the video. When it's finished, change the file extension to .flv. It should play in later versions of Flash player, but won't play in older versions.

Video files in MP4 format?

I just took some video this morning with my 8330 and uploaded it onto my computer. Unfortunately all three video files were uploaded in the MP4 format, thus making them unviewable on my computer. My Windows Media Player only plays mp3 formatted files.
Is there some way to change these files before uploading them on my computer, or after? Or am I just going to have to deal with them all being MP4? Thanks for any help!
Brian

I just upgraded my 8300 to OS 4.5, shot a video, Emailed it as an attachment to my desktop, and it came as a .amr file, whatever that is. Anyone have any idea as to how to play it back, or convert it to a more standard format?

Convert video files to editable format to use on PrPro CS4

Hello,
I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 v4.2.1 (I can't use CS5 because I have a 32-bit system). I'm running it on HP Pavilion dv9750, Windows 7, 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor T7500, 2GB RAM (DDR2) and NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS.
I'm planning to create a clip of about 4-5 minutes, that would be projected on a big screen. My sources are photos, WMV (from Windows Live Movie Maker), MOV (from iphone 4), and MP4 files. I must use these sources. I'm aware my computer is pretty weak, but that's all I have right now. I know I should convert these files to a more editable format. Which one would you recommend? I'm using Xilisoft Video Convertor Ultimate 6 to convert my files (Maybe there is a way to do it through PrPro?)
I was thinking of creating the project in 9:16 ratio. None of the files are in HD, so maybe I should create it 720p quality? Which preset would you recommend? Which output would you recommend?
Thanks in advance for your help!

There are a number of video apps available in the iTunes App Store that can easily handle those videos without any need for conversions. Do a search in the iTunes app on your computer for the file types and it will show video apps that can open those file types.
If VLC 2 ever makes it to the iTunes App Store, be sure to grab it, it will be free, I use VLC 1.1 on my iPad for avi files, but it is no longer available in the iTunes App Store.

Which is the best software to convert the video files for itouch?

I got a 3rd gen itouch. Is there any software that helps to convert the video files. so I can sync those files to my itouch. " Handbrake " used to work pretty good. but now i still can convert the video files to m4v format but itunes doesn't allow me to put those files in. Please Help!

You may have different menu options than Half bit Bit Ah. The support page on how to do it is at https://support.apple.com/kb/TS1497. In part it says:
If you did not purchase videos from the iTunes Store, they are may not be in a format that you can play on your iPhone/iPod. In many cases, you can convert them to the correct format using iTunes or QuickTime.
* Using iTunes: Select a video and choose Advanced > Create iPod or iPhone Version
* Using Mac OS X v10.6: Open the video in QuickTime Player and choose Share > iTunes and then select the iPhone & iPod option.
Hope that helps!

Dropbox - defaultcodec.mp4
Dropbox - h264codec.mp4
These are the two files that I created .The first file is created by the default codec used by Flash player.
The second file(h264codec.mp4) is created by using Flash player 11 and as3 . I have encoded the file using h.264/AAC.
The tutorial followed for creating the second encoded file is Encoding live video to H.264/AVC with Flash Player 11 | Adobe Developer Connection
Thanks in advance . These two files stream successfully in the web application using flash player and as3 .I can play both of them in VLC too. But these files wont play on any mobile device(both android and iOS).
Please send me your feedback on this . In the meanwhile I will look into http streaming.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
