What software is best for video conversion to 5th Gen iPod

I'm looking for a solid application that will convert multiple video formats to something that is compatible with the 5th Gen. Any suggestions?

  • Can I set a time limit for usage on a 5th gen ipod touch

    My daughter just got a 5th gen Ipod touch. Of course she is using it at times she shouldn't be. Is there a way to set a time limit for usage so she can be responsible for monitoring herself without us nagging all the time?

  • MSI 1950pro VIVO. What software I need for video-in?

    Hi.
    I am currently using MSI radeon1950pro pcie card. It has VIVO connector too. I tried yesterday to plug my Playstation2 to the card as I dont have TV, well i didint get to play as i dont know what software i should use for that. I installed ati's suplied radeon1950 pro driver package. I also tried to install wdm driver, and some multimedia center stuff, which promptly notices that it will only work/install with all-in-wonder card.
    I also tried with Dscaler and AMcap, but neither of them can find any video capture driver or so.
    I would need to get analog videosignal opened in some program that can handle fullscreen mode, so I could play my Playstation trough my PC screen
    Someone who has done something similar, or just done something with video in pls tell me what software I need..

    I have catalyst 6.11 installed.
    I have also installed WDM driver, at least the installer goes trough.
    I have installed also avivo decoders/encoder files from ati, in addition to this i have installed multimedia center, and some extra kits for it. Like dao/mac, dvd/dtv decoder and some encoder package. I have installed practically all files that i can find from ati.
    Firstly i notice that multimedia center installation creates zero shortcuts, so finding this software is bit hard. Or if it did not install anything, the installer didint notify me, just quit .. cant be sure about this.
    I have also installed Dscaler (tv viewer, that should be able to read video-in, atelast from nvidia cards). I have also installed microsoft media encoder, which is somekind stream capture tool / video encoding tool.
    Problem is that no software detects that this card has VIVO. 
    I need to know how to get some damn driver installed so that the video-in comes as visible capture device and then some program to show it.
    Is this somehow related to fact, that ati is offering different driver kit for 1950pro cards? I tried with those drivers yesterday, but they didint help at all.
    am I doing wrong?

  • Transfering Music/Photos/Videos from A 5th gen Ipod....

    Well I have my old 5th gen 30 gig ipod that was last used on a pc with Vista but that pc is nolonger working so i went and got a laptop with Vista I tried the old method i used to transfer from the ipod to the computer but it's not working the way it did before...
    Now I want to load the Libray from the 30 gig ipod to the itunes libray on the laptop so i can then load it to my new 80gig ipod how can i do it with out losing my stuff on the 30gig?

    Connect your iPod to your new computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only

    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    There are various programs out there for recovering photos from an iPod, have a look at the ones below. If you search the internet you can find more. Just be aware that what you'll be recovering will be photos optimised for the iPod so they won't be the same quality as the original full resolution versions:
    iPodPhotoCopy Windows only
    CopyPodPhoto Windows only
    Tansee iPod Transfer Photo Windows only
    iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    Keith's iPod Photo Reader Mac only
    If you have full resolution copies of the photos on the iPod have a look here: Apple Knowledge Base article - Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • Video problems with 5th Gen iPod

    I've got a bit of a problem here. I've got a 60 gb 5th gen, and I've had no problems, thus far. I've got it loaded with tv shows, movies, music, podcasts, etc, and they have always worked fine. However, within the last few days, suddenly my video folders are empty. My movies and everything are still shown to be on the iPod under iTunes, but when disconnected from the computer and browsed, all the Video folders are shown as empty.
    Has anyone experienced similar? Is there a way to fix this without losing all of those converted video files? Seven seasons of Star Trek Voyager took me like two weeks to convert!
    PC   Windows XP Pro  

    Same thing with me, i cleared my iPod and they went back on. But now it will only play my video podcasts. If it is any other type of movie file it will go to a black screen for about 10 sec then go back to the previous menu.

  • 7.1 won't copy video to my 5th gen iPod

    I clicked on the "Yes" button to allow iTunes to update itself to version 7.1. My next sync it gives me a new error message I've never seen.
    "Some of the songs and videos in your iTunes Library, including xxx, were not copied to the iPod (my iPod) because they cannot be played on this iPod."
    Then it gives me a list of 13 files including 7 videos that played just fine before installing 7.1, and every episode of "The Show with Ze Frank" since the 7.1 upgrade. Last time I checked I still had a 5th generation iPod, and other videos play just fine.
    I repaired 7.1 and got the same message. I could work around it but I hate to lose 7 videos. Maybe when 7.1.1 comes out it will start working again?
    Has anybody else seen this?
    Thanks!

    I've seen it with the update because it won't copy purchased content without you re-authorizing your machine. I just posted a question on this actually.
    Try going to:
    Store > Authorize Computer
    Log in with your apple store id and password and it should sync up the content.
    Good luck!

  • Which case is the best for my 30 gb 5th gen?

    ever since i have had an ipod i have been trying to find the best case for it.
    it seems that every case on apple has some monumental flaw in it that someone points out in the reviews (ex.) bad belt clip, no screen protector, scratches too easily, etc.) so my question is which one is the best??? which one works the best... protects the best.... and doesnt scratch my ipod a lot (i realize some scratching is basically inevitable)
    please i need ur advice

    Yes...scratching is inevitable so I opted for a versatile case with some form of screen/iPod protection. I'm trialing Belkin's Kickstand Case (http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=253387) in conjunction with Power Support's crystal film cover set (http://www.powersupportusa.com/products/ipod/ip_5Gfilmset.php)
    Plus: stand feature is really nice for viewing video. The user interface is functional with access to all buttons. One nice bonus is that is works really well with Griffin iTrip (the snap-strap holds it in place).
    Minus: the case itself doesn't have a 'carrying feature' like others might for working out (armband, waistband) but instead comes with a caribiner clip. The crystal film set, when installed properly is invisible and will definitely protect from scratches (although the edges are exposed). One drawback to the film is that it can peel off if the edges get caught repeatedly (e.g. sliding the iPod in and out).

  • I need some help on transferring videos to my 5th-gen. iPod

    My "Tetris" game will not dowload to my iPod. There are also several South Park and Jackas episodes, and music videos that I purchased from the iTunes store that will not sync to my fifth generation iPod with video. How can I get these videos and game to download, and why aren't they? One of the common error messages that comes up is:
    iTunes could not sync [file] to [my] iPod because the file is corrupt and could not be read.
    Reposting the files on my account did not work, at least for the game. Please help me. My problem is not an issue of authorization, due to separate accounts. Please shed some light on my problem, and thanks.

    Firmware is basically the internal OS (operating system) software in which your iPod runs on.
    A "Firmware update" can be found in iTunes (if you aren't updated to the latest version of internal software for your iPod), which updates your iPod's OS (operating system).
    New firmware update versions usually do not make a noticable change on your iPod, unless the last firmware update contained a bug, where is slowed your iPod down, for example, and the new firmware is tweaked from the last version, and doesn't slow down your iPod anymore.
    Also, iTunes and your computer will call a firmware update/software the "firmware files", because a computer will read what an update contains, by how its files are... just another bit of info.
    I hope that explains it.

  • External drives... whats the best for video.... ?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm trying to figure out what the best bang for the buck is in regards to external drives, and what works best for video.
    I have considered the LaCie enclosures, I have also considered buying a 500 GB SATA to replace the 200 GB second drive I have inside the G5. The issue than is what enclosure works the best with a MAC and is 1394 and will the firm ware support huge video files, for render or exporting?
    Can anyone give some advice based on what they have learned through past experience.
    Thanks

    I've been using LaCie FW (800 & 400) drives for about three years now with only one problem - One of the first drives I bought (I think it was a 120 GB) fried itself a few months ago. I currently have 80GB, 120 GB, 400GB and 500 GB drives, all working fine, never have dropped frames. The LaCie drives are pretty tough too, as I've sent most of them back and forth across the country at least a few times with no problems.
    However, be careful if you update the firmware for them - make sure the drive is clean as the firmware update can cause corruption of data on the drive (I found that out the hard way!). Also keep in mind that they do put off a fair amount of heat (especially the big ones) so I wouldn't consider stacking them on top of each other horizontally.

  • What software is there for recording video?

    some apps included with OS X are listed here: OS X: Use your Mac’s built-in camera
    You can also use Apple - QuickTime - Convert digital media with QuickTime 7 Pro.
    or search the web for os x video recording software applications.

  • Best practice video conversion from download

    I am looking for best practice for video conversions.
    I am downloading adobe recordings via this method:
    http://server.adobeconnect.com/xyz/output/filename.zip?download=zip
    From here, I have been converting the FLVs using either freemake video converter or FLV converter. I have tried converting into AVI (XVID), MOV, WMV, etc. (I need the file to be under 600 MB for an hour of recording, therefore it is going to need some type of compression).
    My goal is to import the video into Sony Vegas Pro 10 for further editting. I have found that whatever method I use, the video and audio does not sync properly about 50% of the time. The video time is longer than the audio time usually. Or that there are other various errors, such as the video just freezing halfway through the video.
    I have been using connect for a few years now, but with each update I find (connect 8, 9, etc), that the problems are getting worse. At this point I am just wasting time trying to convert into various formats using various codecs just trying to luck upon one where the video is at least without error.
    What methods are others using to convert the FLV to a workable editable format?

    Can't the FLV files be changed into many different formats through Apple's
    Compressor or Adobe Media Encoder? These formats can then be opened in
    standard video editing software for editing.

    Yes, I use this as a last resort, as the quality of capture this was is
    signifcatnly lower. As well as it is a much more time consuming process. I
    sometimes have over 50 parts of 1 hour video. To use camtasia, you need
    first to record it, then it must be saved in a camtasia format, and then
    lastly rendered into avi or wmv. Therefore, it is does take awhile.
    Really, I feel there shouldnt be so many errors in the conversion process,
    but I am finding the FLV recordings themselves have problems. This last
    file I am looking at, even the recording playback on adobe connect, has
    serious issues with audio and video sync. A problem that is all too common

  • What software is recommended for the maintenance of mac?

    What software is recommended for the maintenance of mac?

    How to maintain a Mac
    1. Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; all should be made directly from the original data. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
    2. Keep your software up to date. In the App Store or Software Update preference pane (depending on the OS version), you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis.
    Keeping up to date is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all such modifications that you use are compatible. Incompatibility with third-party software is by far the most common cause of trouble with system updates.
    3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, such stuff is useless or worse than useless. Above all, avoid any software that purports to change the look and feel of the user interface.
    The more heavily promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
    As a rule, the only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for, and doesn't change the way other software works.
    Safari extensions, and perhaps the equivalent for other web browsers, are a partial exception to the above rule. Most are safe, and they're easy to get rid of if they don't work. Some may cause the browser to crash or otherwise malfunction.  Some are malicious. Use with caution, and install only well-known extensions from relatively trustworthy sources, such as the Safari Extensions Gallery.
    Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    4. Beware of malware. Malware is malicious software that circulates on the Internet. This kind of attack on OS X used to be so rare that it was hardly a concern, but it's now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
    There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it — the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness — not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
    Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must come directly from the developer's website. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from the web, without your having requested it, should go straight into the Trash. A web page that tells you that your computer has a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with it, is a scam.
    In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
    Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
    5. Don't fill up your boot volume. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a boot failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem.
    While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage use and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
    If storage space is running low, use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move seldom-used large files to secondary storage.
    6. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
    Let go of the Windows mentality that every computer needs regular downtime maintenance such as "defragging" and "registry cleaning." Those concepts do not apply to the Mac platform. The machine should not be a focus of your attention. You shouldn't have to think about it at all. It should be a transparent, almost unnoticeable tool by means of which you communicate, work, and play. If you want a computer that depends on you to keep going, use a PC.
    The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

  • 'Best for video' greyed out in displays prefs

    I finally got my macbook(blackbook running 10.5.8) hooked up to my lcd tv (i have been using my old eMac for this a while) & I'm fooling around with the settings to optimize performance & for some reason the 'Best for video' is greyed out in System prefs/Displays but the overscan function works(both in extended desktop mode & in video mirroring mode. I have always used this function on my eMac (OS X 10.3.9) without any problems. For now I'm using the apple mini dvi to video with an Svideo cable until i can afford to go either the hdmi or vga route, but I'd like to optimize this at least..anybody have a clue why 'Best for video' would be greyed out & how to fix this? could this be because of the Intel GMA 950 Gpu chipset in this generation of macbooks? I have posted to a few forums in the last few days with no answers so far...Anybody?

    I wouldn't worry too much about that setting. I believe all it ever did was set up a difference between blanking and black level, sometimes called "pedestal" in TV/video terminology. It's no big deal. You are probably correct that the GMA950 doesn't support it, so it's grayed out.
