Video Format incorrectly display, strange stuff

Hello,
I have a Mac Mini with a Matshita DVD-R UJ-845 Firmware: D8PB / MMC-3
I've been toasting DVDs in NTSC on my Mac Mini, when I open the DVD player and get disc info it reads Video Format: NTSC, BUT...
But my TV-DVD player on my NTSC TV says it is the "cannot play, wrong system". So I double checked the DVD disc on my PowerBook Al 12" PPC G4 1.5ghz and it's DVD player is saying that the video format is PAL!!! It's 2 machines against my macMini.
I'm wondering how this can be? And how can I fix it so my MacMini correctly identifies the correct format??
Thanks,
A.S.

For the Quicktime issue try:
[Perian codecs for Quicktime|http://www.perian.org] - plugins to add functionality to Quicktime for playing additional audio and video formats
[Quicktime audio problems, Perian, VLC|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9013669] - read note about uninstalling prior DIVX support before installing Perian.
I'm not sure if this works with iTunes. I don't use itunes to watch video, I use [VLC media player|http://www.videolan.org/vlc> - general media player that plays just about anything.

Strange "Unsupported Video Format" Behavior

Hi all;
I just bought my TV 2 days ago and made the set up as the manual said. It is connected to my Philips 1080p HDTV (42PFL7432D/37) via HDMI plus there's a PlayStation3 also connected via HDMI. There are no HDMI switchers as the TV has 3 HDMI ports.
Normally I turn on the HDMI source before the TV, but with my TV I get "+unsupported video format+" message using the HDMI cable. With component cables I have no problems so far.
Last night I was downloading a demo from the PlayStation Network and tried the TV and it was working (via HDMI) - no messages. Rented "+No Reservations+" and saw it with no problems.
For some reason if I want to use the TV via HDMI, I have to turn on the PS3 first, select it from the TV's menu, then from TV's menu again select the port to which the TV connects.
I have already contacted Philips via e-mail regarding this issue as I saw on their support page they where having the same problem with some DirectTV H20-100 satellite boxes connected to the TV via HDMI. Probably will have an answer in 24 hrs.
I've read a lot of threads posted here of people having issues with the update. I echo their voices.
Have anyone noticed this?
I'll keep you updated with Philip's response.

Hi David,
I called Philips' Customer Service and after a long conversation going over on what I've already tried, they decided to schedule a service appointment. The technician came over and told me he had the exact same problem with customer's 5... in. Philips TV. He took the unit with him because he has to disassemble the TV in order to get card's (I don't know if it is Video or HDMI) number as there are like 5 different ones.
For me it makes sense this is a faulty card issue because before calling customer service I connected the TV and the PS3 to another Philip TV I have (32PF9630A/37) using the HDMI ports and it worked fine.
I'm supposed to have the unit back this week. I'll keep you updated.
You might try calling Philips. They gave a service reference code that if they would like to have in order to track a "faulty card" shipment, I can give it to you.

How to play other non-mainstram video formats

merry xmas guys!
former MS user, now in Mac, with quicktime, how can I play other video formats like - .rm, .asf, .wmv etc..
or any other software recommend to cover all of them?
cheers,
Jake

Merry Xmas to you too!
These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear/play pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
Download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer 11.1 for Mac from:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/15540
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
NOTE: On December 8, 2009 Adobe announced plans to drop Flash Player security support next year for Mac owners whose machines run PowerPC processors.
"Adobe will be discontinuing support of PowerPC-based G3 computers and will no longer provide security updates after the Flash Player 10.1 release," said Adobe in the same advisory that spelled out the seven patches. "This unavailability is due to performance enhancements that cannot be supported on the older PowerPC architecture."
After Flash Player 10.1, which is slated to ship in the first half of 2010, Adobe's newest software will run only on Intel-based Macs.
http://www.macworld.co.uk/news/index.cfm?email&NewsID=28011
You should also consider the Shockwave Player, which displays Web content that has been created by Adobe Director, much used for multimedia: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/513
You should also ensure that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Update 2009-001 (and for Tiger only, 2009-002 and 003). (N.B. Security Updates require both a restart and a permission repair.)
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.
There is an additional 'fix' you could try if you are having problems with Flash and Quicktime, depending on which type of Mac you have:
On Intel Macs, make sure that you are not running Safari in Rosetta. You can check this, and change it, in the Get Info window.
On PPC Macs, go to the Hard Disk/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, and drag the file 'QuickTime Plugin.webplugin' to the desktop. Quit and restart Safari. If things have improved you can trash that file. If they haven't put it back, as the lack of this plug-in can cause QT content in some widgets to cease functioning.
And there is an additional kid on the block: SilverLight. Microsoft has created their own version of what a replacement for Flash could be. You can read more about it here:
http://silverlight.net/
So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards) if you are using a PPC Mac, but even this will not work with Safari 4. Version 2 only works with Intel Macs and does work with Safari 4:
http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/
Recommendation: Close all applications before installing any of the above, repair permissions, reboot, and repair permissions again.

Report in Crystal 10 incorrectly displays rows when it shouldn't

We have a problem in Crystal Reports 10 whereby the report incorrect displays 6 rows/records in the report but when we run the exact same SQL statement on its own (outside of Crystal) it does not bring back any results.
Clare

That didn't work either. I'm still getting the wrong timestamp.
But, I did try something else, with more unexpected results. Just for the heck of it, I exported my workbook to excel (the workbook showing the 12:00 AM timestamps). When I opened the Excel file, it has the Archive Date with the correct times. Very strange. I export the workbook with all 17-NOV-09 12:00 AM timestamps in every Archive Date row, and in Excel it opens with the correct dates (17-NOV-09 10:15, 10:18 and 10:23 AM). So weird.
That seems to reinforce that Discoverer can at least see the dates as they exist in the data warehouse, but for some reason, it insists on displaying 12:00 AM. And exporting the 12:00 AM results to Excel actually produces the correct times. Is this like some Java bug or something? I seem to get bit by Java problems more often than not.
***EDIT***
I shouldn't say your suggestion didn't work entirely. It worked in that I am no longer getting 17-NOV-09 12:00 AM. But, it's returning a timestamp that does not exist for the given record. For example, all 3 Nov 17th timestamps (in the Discoverer report) are now showing 17-NOV-09 10:11 AM. 10:11 AM isn't even a timestamp available in the database for any record in the table. Why did it arbitrarily pick 10:11? It seems like your suggestion to create a TO_CHAR calculation from the column is on the right track, but the 10:11 AM thing is odd.

How to use different video formats in the one timeline?

Hi everyone,
So I am in the middle of stringing together a rough cut for a surf flick/documentary shot in some remote Indonesian islands…
Things so far are going well, but I am slightly confused regarding the best way to tackle a slight issue (hopefully slight!) of video format compatibility.
The main shooting for the film was done with .mov video format and this has been imported/captured into final cut pro 7 using the correct settings, which has now formed the basis for my rough cut.
However, I did a lot of filming with some other cameras (underwater, POV etc) and so also have some crucial footage in different formats that to my knowledge will not be compatible with the timeline that I have already created in FCP.
The files are as following:
AVI
MOD
MP4
I am assuming the best way to go about things is convert all these different files into a compatible form that I can then drop straight into my existing timeline.
Unfortunately, I am just beginning to learn the more techy aspects of editing and I don’t have the first idea of how to go about doing this…?
Any helpful feedback would be greatly appreciated…
Thanks in advance,
m

Although there are kinds of standard workflows for best quality in final product, it helps to know a bit more about your setup... what is your primary format? Without knowing that, the best way forward is to convert all of your footage to Apple ProRes. Especially the MP4 stuff. There are different ways about doing that, but I personally recommend Compressor. This can take some time depending on the amount and lengths of your shots, but it is well worth the process.
Make sure you choose 48k / 16bit AIF for all of your shots that have audio. If some of your footage is 1080p and some is 720p, I personally leave that alone because when you have this type of a difference in footage, I like to set my sequence to 720p giving me the option to move or pan the 1080p clips inside of the 720p sequence. Final Cut Pro is very good at handling that difference.
Hope the edit goes well; sounds like a nice project!

Video format for ipod classic 30gb

Hi,
I've just bought a music video from the iTunes Store, but, when I try putting it on my older click wheel 30gb Ipod Classic, iTunes tells me it wasn't copied to the Ipod because it cannot be played on the Ipod. I checked the music video's format and found out it was m4v. Could that be the source of the problem? If so, do I have to convert it to mp4 or something similar? And how do I do that?
Any advice or help?

A 30GB iPod that plays video is a 5th gen iPod. NOTE: The 4th gen "classic" iPod with color display may also be 30GB, but those iPods cannot play videos.
Video format may be an issue, because the first iPod with video capability had a lower limit for video resolution. And if the video is "HD," that video is too high-res for even a new iPod classic.
NOTE: You can convert videos in iTunes using the command
menu bar -> File -> Create New Version -> Create iPod or iPhone Version
but that command is disabled for videos that use DRM (copy protection). A purchased video (such as a musiuc video) from the iTunes Store uses DRM. For purchased videso that are HD, you may be entitled to also download the SD (standard definition) version at no cost. The SD version may play on your iPod.

Photoshop doesn't let me render a video as .mp4, .avi or any video formats

I've finished my outro today and when I tried to render it as an .mp4, in the rendering screen there weren't any options that allowed me to render it with a video format. Please help!!

Nobody can help you without system information and otehr details like document dimensions, color modes, timeline settings, render settings and so on. You could have used some weird combination of stuff, you could have a problem with your system's CoDecs. We can't know based on your non-information.

When Importing a Mpeg 4 video, It converts only to a wav file...no video file or display

I need to add some sound fx, and some voice over to a tv commercial. I usually do this in protools, but I only have access to adobe audition at the moment. The file is an MPEG-4 H.264, AAC.. After watching some videos all i thought I had to do was import the file into AA 6, and it would split it into a video track and an audio track.. However, I am only getting the audio track. I checked my -----Preferences > Media & Disk Cache and "Enable DMLS Format Support" was already clicked. I have restarted my computer and audition,, but still there is no video display, only the wav file audio from the video...How do I do this properly where I can see the video on a track or display, and then have the audio separate so I can edit it,,add fx, voice over, while the video is being displayed?
Any help would be much appreciated.
-thx

Any chance you can share a screenshot of your Files panel? Video files, if the codec is supported, should import as the mp4 file (which contains the video stream) and a separate audio file is generated. Both of which can be dragged into a multitrack session, as you expect.
Audition CS6 does rely upon "DLMS" (which stands for DynamicLink Media Server) and can take a few additional seconds to launch. It's possible this isn't launching properly. Let's find out.
Launch Audition, wait 30 seconds or so, then launch Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor.app Sort alphabetically and look for a process named "dynamiclinkmediaserver" Does it exist in the process list? Does it appear to be failing in some way? You can also launch Console.app and see if OS X thinks it's failing to launch, and why.
If that seems okay, try opening the MP4 file again, but try the following method:
Click File > Open
In the Enable dropdown at the bottom of the dialog, select MPEG Movie
Select your video file and click Open.
Please let us know your results and we can continue to troubleshoot

Is my friends comp wierd, or does JOptionPane do strange stuff?

Hi,
This is hard to ask because I have not seen exactly what is happening, but I have a small program that displays some JOptionPanes, It all looks right on my comp WinXP... but on my friends comp (Win98), he says that the 'Dialogs Things' do strange stuff...
He doesnt know much about computers so I got a silly description bout what happens... he said that the 'dialogs' were "poping up and around tha screen in weird places,... and sometimes they were hard to get to them..."
Anyone know what this could be?...
Thanks,

Go to your freinds place and ask him to show you the strange behaviour, or ask him to explainm a little better. Your description of the problem is too vague.

Best video format for converting DVD to NAS for widely sharing

Summary: The article shows you with an easy workaround for
copying DVD to NAS for streaming by ripping DVD to NAS friendly video
format on Mac and Windows
I recently purchased a NAS to store all my music/photos etc on. I
can stream stuff to my iPhone/iPad using the NAS software. What I want
to do is rip all my DVDs (over 400) to my NAS, but I’m not sure which
format to do it in, to play nice with my Apple TV2, Xbox 360, iPhone,
iPad etc. I wanna get some advice as to what format to rip in and what
software to use?
Learn some tips from online, I got know that to copy dozens of DVD movies to NAS,
you need to get the content off the DVD disc as a protection-free and
easily readable element for NAS. In this case, at the first place
powerful third-party software for backup DVD to NAS is what you need.
There are many, many DVD ripping tools on the market. I’ve tired a pile of them.
Brorsoft DVD Ripper
is the best one I’ve tried yet. It is capable of ripping DVD to MP4,
AVI, MKV for NAS streaming with no quality loss; it also enables you to
copy DVD main movies for backup onto NAS in .vob format. And what I’ve
learned is that MP4 would be one best target format for it is fully
compatible with nearly all media devices including iPad, iPhone, PS3,
Apple TV, etc. If you are running on Mac OS X, turn to DVD Ripper for Mac. If you haven’t got the software, download it now and let’s start the conversion.
Ripping and copying DVDs to NAS
1. Launch the DVD ripping program for NAS devices . Then
click "Load DVD" to import the DVD files you want to convert. To select
the subtitles you like, simply click Subtitle and select the one you
prefer. P.S. Before start the conversion, you can choose to backup DVD mian movies.
2. Click Format bar and choose your desired format. To store
hundreds of DVD's on NAS, you can rip DVD to .mp4, or .avi, .mkv, etc
compressed format. And click Settings bar, you can adjust the level of
compression to suit the quality you want.
Tip: If you like, you can click “Settings” to change the
video encoder, resolution, frame rate, etc. as you wish. Keep in mind
the file size and video quality is based more on bitrate than resolution
which means bitrate higher results in big file size, and lower visible
quality loss, and vice versa.
3. Press the "Convert" button to start ripping DVD for NAS streaming.
After the conversion, click Open button to find the output files.
Make sure the wireless network connection is accessible among the NAS
and Apple TV, PS3, HD TV or other media players. Then just enjoy the
high quality DVD movies anywhere anytime.
[quote] movies-videos-convert-tips.overblog.com/2014/02/ripping-dvds-to-nas-how-to-copy-dvd-to-nas-for-streaming.html [/quote]

I've always found encoding with Handbrake and choosing the Apple TV2 preset is an excellent place to start and video encoded using that preset will work on my iPhone 4, 4S and iPad 2.
If the files encoded using that preset are too big for one's taste they can always encoded at a lower average bit rate rather than using the default 'Constant Quality' of 20.
Later on I'm sure the Handbrake group will have an AppleTV '3' preset supporting the 1080p format supported by the ATV3 and iPad '3' but using such a preset would not create a file usable on the iPad 2 or the iPhones.

"unsupported video format" - Aperture 3

After importing my iPhoto library into Aperture 3, many of my older mpeg video clips appear with an "unsupported video format" image. These same video clips play just fine within iPhoto. To make things worse, Aperture doesn't seem to offer any way to play the files with an external application, nor does it allow me to export or drag & drop the files to my desktop.
I'm hoping and assuming that this is some small glitch that will be corrected soon, but if by some chance it's not, I need to know now before I
1) decide whether to purchase Aperture 3 and
2) delete my old iPhoto library
What are the chances of getting an official answer from Apple before **** freezes over? I don't mean to sound bitter, but after waiting for 2 whole years for an Aperture update I'm more than a bit leery of Apple's level of support for the product.

"Here's the work around that I used:"
Thanks, that was really nice of you to provide this workaround. Unfortunately, I have dozens - maybe hundreds of these video clips scattered across hundreds of photo albums. So it would not be very practical to find, convert, edit metadata, and reimport all of these. That's just way too much trouble.
"No idea why Apple did not chose to support all formats. I thought that quicktime provided the video engine. "
I totally understand where this is coming from. Aperture doesn't just organize and play these files. It's letting you edit and embed them in slideshows, hence the higher standard. As I mentioned previously, I totally understand if I can't edit or create slideshows with these older files, but at the bare minimum I need Aperture to display their thumbnails, allow me to play them (external player ok), and allow me to drag and drop to copy them to the desktop or an external drive when desired.
I suspect they thought of this but decided against the inconsistent user experience some might encounter. I care more about keeping all my files together than about the inconsistent experience.
If they wanted to handle this elegantly, Aperture could display an incompatible file notice only when attempting to edit these...

Video Formats - can AVI, MPG etc be added to the N...

Hi,
PLEASE HELP!!
I have just bought a Nokia N95 & I am loving it!! the only let downs for me is the Flash (there are some much better qualitiy camera phones/flashes out there), & the Video Formats.
I am trying to find out if you can play other video formats on the N95 such as AVI,MPG etc.
people keep telling me I can convert them, but I would much rather be able to install another player that supports those formats straight away so no conversions have to be done.
does something like this exist??
Cheers,
Matt :-)

There are various additional video player apps for the N95; SmartMovie, Core Player, DivX player, etc.
In any case, if the video files you are trying to use is using display resolution, frame rates, or other attributes that the phone or those players cannot handle, you will still have to use a converter first.
Search this application catalog for other video players apps (like those I mentioned above):
