Video format that supports iTunes- appleTV streaming AND DLNA

I have both DLNA support and an Apple TV. I've been converting my dvds to mp4 so I can stream via iTunes to my TV,,Unfortunately mp4 is not compatible with DLNA (mpeg2). Is there a video/audio format, or a software solution, that will work? Of course the simple solution would be for Itunes to support mpeg-2 formation...Any insight?

Ok.
If you stick to this outline, using MOV that may work.
H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High or Main Profile level 4.0 or lower, Baseline profile level 3.0 or lower with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
Try using things like MPEG Streamclip, which will enable you to configure a profile

  • Hi, Could you please suggest a video player, that support all video formats?

    This is probably as good as it gets:

    You won't find anything that plays "all video formats", because of the restrictions built into the iOS.

  • Video formats that iTunes/iPods will read?

    Trying to figure out all the formats that both iTunes and iPods will read when used with Podcasting that involves video. I've tried .m4bm, which doesn't work when clicking on the small screen to get a bigger view. All I get is a single frame. I've also tried converting to .mov and that doesn't work on the iPod. Thanks in advance.

    iTunes and iPod (Video) will read:
    .mov
    .mp4
    .m4v
    Just to clarify, videos with an .mp4 or .m4v suffix are the same - both can be opened by QuickTime Player and iTunes. The only difference is that double-clicking a .mp4 will (by default) open it in QuickTime Player while double-clicking a .m4v will open in iTunes.
    It's not possible to make assumptions about a .mov file and it isn't really a "video format". Think of it as an envelope that can contain many different types of media formats. For example a Windows Media Video track in a .mov container can be played by QuickTime Player (using a free plug-in) but this won't work on the iPod. If the .mov uses a component that's part of the standard QuickTime install then it should play on the iPod. But because of QuickTime's plug-in components it's not possible to assume that a .mov file that plays in QuickTime Player will play on an iPod.
    Hope this helps

  • HT204382 i have an OS X Lion and am trying to download a format that allows me to open and view videos in QuiteTime player. Which one would be best for me out of all the options that I have above?

    VLC will play any format.
    Quicktime format is MP4.

  • What audio format encoded into iTunes HD Movies and TV shows?

    What audio format encoded into iTunes HD Movies and TV shows, AC3, 5.1 DolbyDigital? Its been a long long while since I rented an HD movie on ATV since netflix came around with streaming and BD. Now they have rentals and purchases. Anyone know if the purchases play with 5.1 or better audio?

    I think if you pull up the movie in the iTunes store it should tell you. For example, I pulled up the Star Trek movie that came out a few months ago, and it reports "Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound". Clearly you need to make sure that your hardware supports whatever sound configuration the movie employs.

  • Video format not supported error

    video format not supported error help

    You get the error message when you try to sync your MOV / M4V / MP4 files from your iTunes to your iPad? The files are playable in iTunes?
    Then, you'll need to change their so-called H.264 level to 4.1 or below. If you have a Mac, you'll need to use Subler. See http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/watching-videos-taken-max-roundup-mkv-mp4m4v-v ideo-converters for a complete tutorial; start at the paragraph starting with "After this, it's worth clicking the video track in the upper list if you want to play the video back in the stock Videos app on your iDevice and not in a third-party one".
    The background explanation for all this is to be found at http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/making-stock-videos-application-play-every-mp4 -files-possible . Note that it uses other, more akward utilities to do the level fixing. Again, if you have a Mac, Subler is your friend.

  • Video format not supported .mov file

    I exported a slideshow from iphoto to quicktime with the following settings:
    1) Export: Custom Export: Movie to Quicktime
    Kind: Quicktime movie file Channels:stereo
    size: 200.2 MB Total Bit Rate: 8268 kbps
    Bit Rate: 1378 bps Video Dimensions: 1280x720
    Video Codec: H.264
    It exports to iTunes, but does not sync to the ipad (video format not supported)
    What is the best setting so I can get the highest quality?

    In looking at the videos that I have, all of which work on my iPad, the ones which I purchased through the iTunes Store are Low Complexity with bit rates of 128 kbps. The ones that I converted by HandBrake for iOS devices are Low Complexity and 159 kbps. All of them are around 850 x 480, H.264.

    Thanks.  I have followed all the instructions as recommended and nothing has worked so it looks like the restore/update may have been interrupted - would loss of internet connection do this?
    Yes it would, possibly even brick it.
    Have successfully connected my ipod nano with iTunes so looks like the device driver is working.
    Can I use my ipod nano USB connector to check?
    It is not much help to you, since the device that you need still not recognized.
    Anyway looks like I may have to swallow the loss of data.  Have set-up a call for tomorrow with Apple support so will wait until after this before doing the factory restore!
    Good luck, but if you expect miracle from that call good luck again.

    Quit Mail, Trash this file...
    Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
    Then move these files to the Desktop for now...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist

    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
    Reboot & test.
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

  • Error message of "video format not supported" for ATV1 for files from iTunes

    I have an ATV first generation, I had to redo my windows profile and now ATV is not syncing all my movies from iTunes. It says that ATV does not support the video format from movies I downloaded from Itunes.

    I've had this happen with a whole bunch of files over time. Usually it's a disk timeout - it just took too long for iTunes to start streaming the file to the Apple TV. Sometimes it's that the file has been moved/deleted/'lost' as Alley_Cat describes. Sometimes I think that the file has too high a bit rate to play on the old Apple TV or the audio isn't suitable for it.

  • Ipad will not transfer movies from itunes: error is video format not supported

    Recently itunes will not transfer movies I have purchased from itunes.  I can still tranfer older movies, but the two latest purchased will not synch, it says the video format is not supported.  it seems odd that APPLE movies from APPLE itunes will not play on my APPLE ipad.  APPLE support was no help at all.  I have retored the ipad and updated the software to the most recent version and nothing has worked.

    I am having same problem with iPad and 3GS phones. Did you figure out how to do it?

  • Itunes rented movie "video format not supported" by ipad?

    I just rented 3 movies in the iTunes Store.  They all downloaded to iTunes successfully.  They are all SD, not HD.  When I try to move them to the iPad and sync, I get a message saying that the movies cannot be played on this iPad because the video format is not supported.
    I have rented movies before and played them successfully.  What do I do now?
    iPad is about 6 months old, 32 GB Wi-Fi, running iOS 6.1.3.

    I'm not sure why they don't play ...
    But I wonder why you wouldn't simply update your iPad to iOS 7.0.4 and see if that solves the issue.

  • My iWeb site - video format not supported on iPhone

    So, I have a video on my site, done in iWeb,(opens in the iPhone Safari browser), its a,Quicktime FastStart movie - my iPhone won't play it. How is it that an Apple product won't play an Apple format movie on an Apple mobile browser?
    I understand the iPhone does not support Flash - so how does it play YouTube clips?
    I have uploaded QT or .mov files into my iPhone to the iPod part of the phone- so what gives?

    Those YouTube clips playing on an iPhone are in the H.264 format. YouTube is in the process of encoding videos on the site as the H.264 format so they can all be viewable on the iPhone and AppleTV in higher video quality. They're adding more of these encoded videos each week until their full library is available in the H.264 format. ...Info taken from here.
