What vid format does iPod support? How do I convert mine?

What video format do movie files have to be in to be played on the iPod? I have avi, mov, mpg, and mpeg from my digital camera and I want to put them on my iPod. What do I do ... and how do I do it? I need an idiot's step by step guide. And if I don't have to pay for any new programs that would be a bonus ... surely I can use something already on my PowerBook?

  • What files formats does Itunes support

    what files formats does Itunes support???
    Been trying to load some anime into Itunes and they wont play on my Apple Tv, though they play on the computer. Why is that. I've got codes and all that other jazz. What gives....

    iTunes 11 can currently read, write and convert between MP3, AIFF, WAV, MPEG-4, AAC and Apple Lossless (.m4a).
    iTunes can also play any audio files that QuickTime can play (as well as some video formats), including Protected AAC files from the iTunes Store and Audible.com audio books. There is limited support for Vorbis and FLAC enclosed in an Ogg container (files using the Ogg container format are not natively supported) or Speex codecs with the Xiph QuickTime Components. Because tag editing and album art is done within iTunes and not QuickTime, these features will not work with these QuickTime components. As of Snow Leopard, iTunes 9 (Mac) will play HE-AAC / AAC+ internet streams. The latest version of iTunes (Win/Mac) supports importing audio CDs with the default iTunes standard file format of AAC at 256 kbit/s, but users can choose from 16 kbit/s to 320 kbit/s constant bit rates (CBR) in either AAC or MP3.[citation needed] Importing of audio CDs into MP3 or AAC formats can also be accomplished using variable bitrate (VBR) encoding.
    The Windows version of iTunes can automatically transcode DRM-free WMA (including version 9) files to other audio formats, but does not support playback of WMA files and will not transcode DRM protected WMA files. Telestream, Inc. provides free codecs for Mac users of QuickTime to enable playback of unprotected Windows Media files. These codecs are recommended by Microsoft.[34]
    In addition to importing CDs into the iTunes library, the user can also import non-Apple mp3 files from Amazon.com and other sources. This can be accomplished by either right clicking on the file, selecting open with, and then selecting iTunes or dragging the file into the open iTunes window. Alternatively, for Amazon.com mp3s, the Amazon MP3 Downloader application will automatically import the mp3 files into the iTunes library.

  • What Audio Formats Does iTunes Supports?

    is there a way to find out what formats iTunes supports?
    for example, does iTunes support OptimFROG Loseless or FLAC Loseless?
    thanks.

    iTunes uses Quicktime for audio playback and plays Apple Lossless, WAV, AIFF, MP3 and AAC files. If you want to play other formats, you generally have to convert them to a format iTunes supports (I use Apple Lossless myself). iTunes to FLAC is a group of Applescripts enabling FLAC file conversion in iTunes. For a guide to enabling OGG support in iTunes, see here. Other file conversion tools I use are Max and xAct.

  • What paste formats does Acrobat support?

    I have a software program that places formatted RTF and plain text data on the Windows clipboard.  When users of the program try to paste into Acrobat, they get text that has been stripped of all formatting.
    This used to work, and still works perfectly when pasting into Word.
    Has Acrobat eliminated support for RTF pasting?  Does it support an alternate formatted style?  Is there a way to select a clipboard format?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for replying.  I understand that this isn't the standard Acrobat use case, but nevertheless it's one I've seen repeated by hundreds of customers.  They have a PDF, and they want to annotate the PDF with the output of my program.  There are lots of ways to print to PDF and merge, etc., but those are all painful and the users just want something simple and familiar: copy/paste is what they want.
    If there's a better, simpler, way ... by all means, please tell me, since I know little about Acrobat.
    Actually, the ideal thing would be to paste some sort of embedded OLE object you could later click on and edit with my program, but that's probably another thread entirely, for another time.

  • HT3775 What movie format does iMac support?

    How can I watch a movie format in Real Media on my iMac? I tried Windows Media and that did not work on my iMac either.
    I downloaded a software to convert the Windows Media, but there was no audio.

    Ciao.
    It's an odd format, never was supported well and is clearly vanishing now. There used to be a converter but I haven't seen it since Moses embarked on his trek.

  • What audio formats does imovie support?

    thanks

    iMovie is flexible.
    The video and DVD standard is 48khz, so so if your camcorder has multiple audio settings, choose 48khz.
    CDs and itunes tracks are in 44.1khz, and these can be used in iMovie projects.
    I have never tried 96khz. I don't have any equipment that records at that rate.
    As for bit depth, I am pretty sure it will accept both 16 and 24.  There is no way to set this parameter in iMovie.
    If you do live recording into Logic Pro, you can use 24 bit depth, and then mix that into a 48khz or 44.1khz recording in AIFf, AAC, Mp3, etc. and use that in iMovie. I am not sure about GarageBand.

  • In what character format does CS5 Export HTML?

    In what character format does indesign export html?
    I am having trouble writting a parsing script because text that looks like:
    of mutations to particular “hotspot” regions
    becomes, to my chagrin,
    of mutations to particular “hotspot� regions
    Here is my java code that simulates this problem. Perhaps somebody knows which encoding to choose on Windows 7 pro x64?
        public static int CopyFile()
            try
            StringBuffer sb = null;
            String NullSpace = System.getProperty("line.separator");
            //Writer output = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(outputFile));
            BufferedWriter output = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(outputFile),"UTF-8"));
            String line;
            BufferedReader input =  new BufferedReader(new FileReader(myFile));
            while((line = input.readLine())!=null)
                    sb = new StringBuffer();
                    //Parsing happens
                    sb.append(line);
                    output.write(sb.toString()+NullSpace);
                return 0;
            catch (Exception e)
                return 1;

    This particular line is the culprit (a case of What You Ask Is What You Get, really a rarity):
    BufferedWriter output = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(outputFile),"UTF-8"));
    -- and what you see is UTF-8 Encoding in action (rather, what you see with a non-UTF-8 aware text editor).
    Check the Javascript Tools Guide, section "File- and Folder-supported encoding names", for an encoding that better suits your needs. Actually, you might want to check the generated HTML file -- UTF8 is a perfectly acceptable character encoding, but you have to tell your browser it is this one.
    Alternatively, you can always check the string buffer text for any character codes (which are Unicodes) above 126 and replace these with the universal "&#xxx;" notation for out-of-range character codes.

  • Every time I sync my iCal computer with my iPhone 4 or iPad, duplicate entries are generated on both systems. What am I doing wrong or how can I avoid the duplications?

    Every time I sync my iCal on my computer through iTunes with my iPhone 4 or iPad, duplicate entries are generated on both systems. What am I doing wrong or how can I avoid the duplications? I have been doing this for several years and this problem is a more recent issue, like in the last 6 months. I have been deleting the duplicate entries, on both systems, but some duplicates reappear through "general" entries that are connected to the correct color for a Calendar, but not the name. I am going nuts and wasting tons of hours trying to get the 3 calendars to sync without generating duplicate entries.

    Choose one of the Calenders on ONE of the computers OR the MobileMe as the Master / correct account.
    The REINITAILISE the data of MobileMe within preferences on the computer defining the datatransfer correctly (in the advanced box of preferences). The synchronise iphone contacts and calender directly on-line to MobileMe.
    I posted a question on this today, and gave my own reply !

  • When creating a multi page document, some of my thumbnails become linked and can't be separated for editing. What am I doing wrong and how do I correct this?

    When creating a multi page document, some of my thumbnails become linked and therefore impossible to rearrange. What am I doing wrong and how do I correct this?

    The pages in sections stick together because the text flows between the pages.
    Insert a section break to isolate pages between sections.
    Now this all works in Pages '09, unfortunately Pages 5 doesn't let you.

  • II am exporting a song to disc.  The mix down is playing back in a different key.  What am I doing wrong, or how do I get Garage bane to mix down in the key the song in which the song is recorded?

    I am exporting a song to disc.  The mix down is playing back in a different key.  What am I doing wrong, or how do I get Garage bane to mix down in the key the song in which the song is recorded?

    Three basic steps to get you started:
    You set the tempo and Rhythm when creating your project:
    Launch GarageBand and and select "New Project" from the panel: Pick a suitable template, for example "Song Writing":
    Then, in the next panel that opens "New Project from Template" select a folder and a name to store the project and set the basic parameters: Song key, tempo, signature; for example for a song in C-major, 4/4, 100 beats per minute set it like this.
    If you later want to speed up the song or slow it down, use the LED display at the bottom of the window. Click on the leftmost icon to change it to show the metronom for  "Project View" like this. Then you can change the basic settings:
    Regards
    Léonie
    P.S. The GarageBand Help - accessible from the main menu bar "Help > GarageBand Help" or ⌘? is quite good and should get you started easily.
