What is the Home Videos tab within Movies for iTunes 11.0.1

What is the Home Videos tab within the Movies list for iTunes 11.0.1?
I can't find anything about it.

There is a simple solution to error code 3072 when installing upgrades.
Ensure all other users are logged out.
This fixes the problem. From my experience so far you do not have to reboot your mac.

Where did the Home Video tab go?

I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009) running Yosemite 10.10.2 and iTunes 12.1.50. I also have about 900+ home videos taken by my various cameras and encoded using HandBrake or iMovie over the last 10 years. 30 of these movies have been on my phone for over a year and I regularly watch them.
I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS8.2 last night by doing a restore as if a new device. This was recommended by a tech at the Apple Store since so much of my phone's 16GB was taken up by the operating system. After that, I suddenly had more than 3GB more free space. Yay!
But - right away, I noticed that only 3 of my 30 home videos had synched. I had those 30 in a special playlist so I wouldn't have to sort through the other 870+. I decided to remove them from the iPhone and try again, but it didn't work. So, I decided to remove them from the playlist and add them again. That's when I noticed that I cannot find the Home Videos tab in iTunes on my Mac anymore. It was there earlier last night because I had just added new ones to iTunes (visual confirmed they were in the Home Video tab once added to library). I tried to import all 900+ home movies, and it seemed to do something - but I still can't see them.
I tried to search for "Home Video" in the iTunes help menu - no hits. I always use "Home Movies Favourites" as the Genre for the 30 I put on my phone, so I tried searching for that in the movie search box. Nothing found again. I tried searching for individual file names. Nothing.
So - where did Home Videos go and how can I get it back? My files are still on the hard drive, but I have spent hundreds of hours updating the tags in iTunes with irreplaceable info like dates, locations, memories, etc.
Apple - please stop making such drastic changes to iTunes every time we just finish getting used to your other changes!

Hello! I said... I want the ability to input analogue video into my camcorder so I can continue to transfer VHS and input and record video from other sources. The new HD cameras on the market will not allow you to record video from any source except for the lens.
I have HD cable box. I want to record my HD programs from cable (HBO, Starz, etc) to my camera, download the video to my Mac from the camera and then edit them in iMovie and create professional looking movie DVD's in iMovie.
iMovie HD can work with mini DV HD cameras and HD video. I was not aware of a system requirement for working with HD content.

Where is the home video tab for movies on the ipad in IOS 8?

Hello -
I have an ipad air and am running the most updated version of Mavericks, Itunes & IOS... I cannot get my "home videos" to actually physically copy to my ipad after updating to ios 8 — nor find an answer as to how to get them on there. The tab where they once were in the videos application has inexplicably disappeared since I updated my ios.
The only route I have to watch home videos is select, in the video application on my ipad --> "shared" --> "itunes music library name" — which means they can only be accessed if my computer is open and sharing the videos from my itunes library. You can see in the screenshots that even though in Itunes it says that the videos are taking up space on my ipad, there is no home videos tab in my video app. Instead the only option is sharing.
This is INCREDIBLY frustrating! I cannot access the videos unless I have itunes open and it slows my computer down. I feel like I must be totally missing something as no one else is having this problem as far as I can see -
HELP!

The availability of certain item in a certain store depends on the will of the copyright holder, it's not Apple's choice not to offer them.
And in addition:
In order to buy from a certain country's iTMS you do need -
* either a CC with a billing address in that certain country.
* or an address in that certain country plus a gift voucher/prepaid card issued by that certain iTMS.
If you don't meet one of this conditions there is "no go".

What is the proper way to manage movies in iTunes?

I've just been given a new video iPod, and am now considering importing movies into iTunes so that I can have them on my iPod. What I have is a bunch of MPGs (e.g., family movies from a camcorder, etc.); but I noticed that the iPod won't play them, presumably because they're not MP4 format. I know I can convert them all to MP4 with iSquint or a similar utility. But I want to keep the full-resolution versions in iTunes so that I can display them on a bigger screen as well. So, what is the right way to manage this - do I really need to keep and have in iTunes 2 versions of every movie - one scaled down for iPod as MP4, and one in original resolution? Or is there a better way?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

I think two versions is probably the only way. At least the MP4 versions will be small so shouldn't use up much of your hard drive space.
By the way, with the MP4 versions that go on your iPod, try hooking your iPod up to your TV set and setting the TV Out option to ON and with the proper AV cable, you should still be able to see them on the big screen. Try it out and see how it looks.
Since you have a camcorder, you might already have an AV cable you can use. See here...

What's the best settings to Export movie for smaller file sizes?

Hi, I've been working on some helmet cam footage which was taken with Xvidmpeg4.avi and was advised to convert it to dvavi for editing in PrE, this created a huge file to work with, the original footage was 206mb and the finished edited dvavi file is now 1.56gb, what settings can I use to export the movie with a much smaller file size, but hopefully try to retain some quality, to upload to places like Vimeo? I thought I would try to export it in the same as the original footage Xvidmpeg4.avi thinking this might compress it again to something like the 206mb of the original and the original was good quality footage, but PrE just hangs up with a box stating 'Xvid Status (Not Responding)' and when I try to cancel that the whole thing crashes and closes? So when I go to File > Export > Movie, what would be the best settings in:
General > File Type ?
Video > Compressor
lots of options under compressor if I select the file type as Microsoft AVI, so I'm guessing something under that would compress it to a smaller file size but what, I could spend all night trying different settings so hoping for some advice?
Or, if I'm completely in the wrong place for the settings and should be doing something else please tell me?
Thanks, Gav

Thanks for the replies, but to me it's still confusing - simply because there are so many settings, if I go to Share/Personal Computer I'm then presented with a whole load of settings
NTSC Flash Video
MPEG
DVAVI
Windows Media
QuickTime
and under each of those is a lot more advanced settings?
I'm guessing I wouldn't use flash or quicktime, so which of the others would I use and what are the advanced settings to use as I can't find anything that is .wmv or .mov
What I've done with other videos that I've exported from PrE as dvavi is then to put it through Windows Movie Maker, Publish Movie, This Computer, then put the settings to Windows Media DVD Quality (PAL) (3.0 Mps) - this seemed to be the only setting that reduced the file size considerably but still had good quality, but it's still about twice the original file size?
This all seems long winded to me, open original file, convert original file, output another file, then output the file again in something else which then results in loss of quality and a larger file than the original? I'm ending up with lots of files, was hoping just to edit in Premiere then export/publish that edited clip and that would be it, then upload to the net.
Is it not possible to just edit my original footage and save it, just like you would with something like a word document, should I be using something else and not Premiere?
Thanks.

What is the raw video input source format for Compressor 4?

How do I import raw video as a source for Compressor 4.
For x264 I use .yuv or .y4m from ffmpeg.
Compressor doesn't recognize these raw video formats.

To clarify... H.264 is a video compression standard used by both x264 (which is software) and Apple's Compressor 4 (software). Compressor 4 will take as input a directory of still images and a variety of compressed video formats. According to the documentation it also can ingest 8 bit YUV422 raw video and 10 bit YUV444 video. But these terms describe a color space and color sub-sampling scheme not the file format of the video file. I'm looking for the a file format for the raw uncompressed video that Compressor will read. I tried making a YUV422 format .mov file but Compressor didn't seem to like it.
BTW. Yes to David Brewer, x264 is better than Compressor 4 in every way (better quality, more compression, faster, cheaper). I'm trying to quantify how much better it is. So I need to make sure they are getting the same raw input.

What is the PDF (book) file naming convention for iTunes?

I need to re-import my PDFs after migrating from "Windows XP to Windows 7, as the PDFs were not included in the Libary XML.
What should the PDF file names be so that when each is imported, it will reconize the Author and Title, and I won't need to manually
edit these using "Get Info". I tried <Author> - <Title>.pdf, with a space-hyphen-space betwwen Author and title, but that didn't work.
I have "keep iTunes media folder organized" checked, so Author folders are auto-created.
Thanks!

When you add a PDF to iTunes it normally sets the filename as the book name. As far as I'm aware iTunes doesn't attempt to extract any other metadata from the PDF even if it is present. If you let iTunes organize your files then after setting the author and title it will move to ...\<Media Folder>\Books\<Author>\<Title>.pdf.

Was wondering what is the best video converter to use for iMac.

I have some videos taken with a JVC Everio camcorder and want to download them on my new IMac. Would like some suggestions for free video vonverters. Thanks.

I'd try MPEG Streamclip.

With Premiere elements 11, when Publish/Share (saving) a finished video, selecting H.264 .mov file type, what are the recommended Codec and Aspect settings for a crisp video and a small file size?

Gary Krouse
We will customize a very detailed reply, but
(a) What are the properties of your source media?
(b) What did you or the program set as the project preset to match the properties of the source media?
(c) What specific requirements do you have for this H.264.mov export file?
File size can be a compromise between bitrate, file size, and quality.
Thanks.

What is the best video converter for DVD to iMovie? Either free or to purchase.

What is the best video converter for DVD to iMovie? Either free or to purchase. And one that is 'fool-proof' and very easy to use. Many thanks, anyone who can advise.

You want to 'reverse engineer' the compressed mpeg2 DVD file back to something iMovie can use?
You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
And from the TOU of these forums:
Keep within the Law
No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
If you are running Lion:
From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

What are the perks to pre-ordering movie rentals in the itunes store?

What are the perks to pre-ordering movie rentals in the itunes store?

You can purchase music using multiple accounts within the same Windows profile & using the same iTunes library. I think when you log into the store it remembers the last account name used, but provided you don't let it remember your password then you have the opportunity to enter the correct details for each purchase.
If you're going to place these purchases on your respective iPod's the following may help.
*How to use multiple iPods with one computer*
The Apple support document How to use multiple iPods with one computer suggests a number of ways. I use method two (Sync with selected playlists) with a slight twist. Rather than regular playlists I set the grouping field to indicate which users should receive which tracks and create smart playlists based on the content of this field.
e.g.
"Alice's Tracks" is "Grouping contains Alice" + "Kind contains audio"
"Bob's Videos" is "Grouping contains Bob" + "Kind does not contain audio"
Tracks that both Alice & Bob want on their iPods have the grouping set to "Alice/Bob"
etc.
I currently manage our family's five iPods using this system, each getting a different selection to suit their tastes and the capacity of their iPod. An advantage of using the grouping field is that it is stored in file tags (for non-wav audio files anyway) so that it is relatively easy to recreate the playlists should the iTunes library get trashed. Also useful if you move files about manually as playlist membership is preserved when you delete & re-import the tracks.

What is the best video converter for iPhone?

My last question was deleted I guess because I was not specific enough. I have a Sony DCR-DVD108 DVD Handycam® Camcorder which writes everything onto mini DVDs. I am looking for a good video converter to convert my home movies with. I am using Roxio Crunch, but it doesn't do as good of a job as I had hoped. What is the best video converter to use?
P.S. Please don't delete my question again Apple.

It was probably deleted because you said that it was in violation of the TOU, which I have read. I own all rights to DVDs which I myself have created, and I give myself permission to copy said DVDs for whatever reasons I wish. I am in no way violating the TOU: "Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store" because I am in no way trying to "work around" any sort of DRM, and I created the home movies and in no way was the iTunes Store involved; that is unless somehow a movie of my nephew's birthday is now available on iTunes. And I don't own an iPod video, I own an iPhone, which is why the question says "What is the best video converter FOR IPHONE?" and is why I am in an iPhone forum.

What is THE best video file format to import into Premiere Pro CS6?

What is THE best video file format to import into Premiere Pro CS6? I am tired of the guess work of "this might work if you do this." Just tell me which is, flat out, the easiest for Premiere to read?? I generally animate in Adobe Flash, and some times with a Live camera. Premiere seems to pick and choose which video file it wants. I import from the File drop down box in the upper left hand corner, then move the video file to timeline. Under the "scrubber" there is a thin red, (or when rendered) a green line. The videos I put in the timeline show a thin yellow line which means Premiere is confused. So, in basic terms, which video format is MOST commonly accepted with the least amount of trouble/hassle?

Premiere has a function now where you can import a clip and drag onto a timeline and it will prompt you with a message about changing the timeline settings to match your clip, (or if there is no timeline it will automatically create one that matches your clip.) This is in CC of course so you might consider upgrading. They have fixed a lot of compatibility issues from CS6 to now. If you don't want to get all of CC for 60/month then you can at least shell out 20/month on premiere. It's worth it. They've made it where you don't have to worry about 99% of all video formats. They just work.

What is the best video format/codec?

Greeting Video Producers
Please tell me what is the best video format/codec overall? And please list them from best to worse.
MPEG 4
MPEG 2
AVI
DVI
QUICKTIME MOV
WMV
THANK YOU

DVI isn't a format or codec; it is a digital signal protocol used for video display. DVI = Digital Video Interface.
Please define what "best" means in your context ... "best" for what?
WMV is one of the best in terms of viewer compatibility for web video, but it is not any good for DVD delivery.
MPEG-2 is one of the best for broadcast server-based playback and is required for DVD-Video delivery, but it is one of the worst for editing.
MPEG-4 is a more efficient codec than MPEG-2, but isn't as compatible for web delivery as WMV or Flash.
AVI is a container.
MOV is a container.
