*** What video output quality can I do from iPod video onto a tv?

I have HDV footage. Wondering if I have to squish it to mpeg-4 to get it onto my iPod or could I load it as full quality onto my iPod video (about 1.3 gb) and then connect it to a tv and show it full quality on the tv? Would that work? What kind of output connectors does the iPod video have?

You do have to convert it to mp4. And the resolution is only 320 X 240, so you'll be pretty disappointed in the picture quality on a tv. Video on the iPod is primarilly for viewing on the pod itself. I was however surprised how good some dvd material I have looked considering that small resolution. I had considered loading tons of movies onto mine for camping trips and travel, but I think I'll just continue to pack up a bunch of DVDs and a player for that considering how much better it looks. 320 x 240 is pretty tiny. But it is pretty novel to play movies and tv from such a compact player. Oh yeah, you'll also need an iPod-specific video cord to attach to a tv or monitor. A regular A/V mini plug won't work.
Good luck and have fun.

What sort of functionality can I expect from Time Capsule in a Windows 7 environment?

I'm looking to use time capsule as a backup for all of our families photos and such. What kind of functionality can I expect from Windows 7 and Time Capsule.

You can use it as a network drive. You can also use it for automatic back-up purposes.

How do I get songs from iPod(video) to iTunes(7 and using VISTA).

How do I get songs from iPod(video) to iTunes(i'm using iTunes7 and Vista).
I don't have the disc, cause i can't find it. But my computer downloaded the ipod, it just cant find the files?
i've been looking through the topics for the past hour and none of them helped. Maybe i'm stupid i dont really know, but i've restored my old computer a couple times and i found a post and it helped both times. now i can't find it anymore.
THIS IS THE ONE I'VE BEEN SEEING AND IT DOESN'T HELP ME ONE BIT:
Connect your iPod to your 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. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. 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. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: 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:

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
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.
Can someone give me a link, or tell me one that shows step by step.

Here is a way of doing it, for another take on this, search the forum for posts by Zevoneer.
Copy from iPod to PC
It is important not to allow your iPod to sync with an empty library. If it is set to synchronise automatically you will get a message saying your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to sync – it is important to press cancel as syncing with an empty library erases all music from your iPod.
You can also prevent auto sync by holding down shift & ctrl as you plug in your iPod and keeping the keys held down until the iPod appears in iTunes.
Once you are connected, you need to set your iPod to manage music manually.

If you have an iPod with iTunes Store purchases on it, you can use it to copy your purchases to other authorized computers.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesWin/7.3/en/2586win.html
However this is not allowed for other music.
This MacMuse tip tells you how to copy music from your iPod using Windows Explorer, but it is a bit fiddly:
http://discussions.apple.com/messageview.jspa?messageID=797432
Otherwise you can use third party software to manage the transfer, there are a variety of programs out there, some free and some that will copy ratings and counts as well as the music files. Here is a selection, check them out and see what suits you.

The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and was written long before iTunes 7 so it requires a little adaptation, also it won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes

How Can i get my ipod Video 60gb to play on my XBOX 360???

How Can i get my ipod Video 60gb to play on my XBOX 360???

she only needs to do that if he needs to change the format. For example if she recorded the clips via her phone and it's not in a format iTunes will play. For example if I have a .wmv iTunes won't touch it until I convert it. She could also be talking about video that she recorded on a DVD camcorder that burns the video to a DVD not a memory card. ITunes doesn't convert everything.
She's transfered the clips to her ipad and the ipad won't play them. So she needs to get them to a m4v or mp4, and you use format converters for that. Not apps but something on the computer.

Music does not sync properly when updated to latest version. Can see computer but can't play from ipod

Music does not sync properly when updated to latest version. Can see on computer but can't play from ipod.

Hope this helps...
I was having the same problem where only 1.7GB of 10GB of selected music would sync so I decided to start fresh. The following steps worked for me:
1. Open itunes and connect iphone 5 if not already. Uncheck all playlists, artists, etc. till nothing is checked to sync. Then uncheck the sync music box so that all music will be removed from the phone. Sync iphone
2. Eject device. Quit itunes (don't just close). unplug iphone.
3. Restart imac, macbook, or PC.
4. Restart iphone.
5. Now after power up, restart itunes then plug in iphone, check sync music and select music to sync. Sync iphone
6. It worked for me!!! Good luck.

How Do I Change Video Output Quality When Capturing .DV Video From Camera?

I am experimenting with both this Premiere Elements 10 trial, as well as other brands of software, finding the best one to purchase for my needs.
In some other software, I not only indicate the source quality, but the output quality to the computer. If I want to upload the full quality video files to edit for retransferring back to a DV video tape, that's fine, but I will take up a lot of computer memory, relatively speaking. On the other hand, if I know that I'm going to be editing the video for replay on the computer or over the web, I can tell the program to upload to MPEG4 or some other conversion.
I am not seeing this as an option with the Premiere Elements. Can anyone tell me where, if possible, I can alter the output quality before the program begins the download? I certainly can find the input quality (such as .dv 4:3 ratio). I'd prefer not to always have to download the full quality video, THEN have to covert it as a separate step.
Thank you!

The PRE workflow is (1) Create your project (2) import your assets (3) sequence and edit your assets (4) create your menus (5) share your project.
The quality of intended output has no effect on your project settings which should match your source footage. Done this way optimises PRE's performance - as it can internally process far more effectively when matched to a 'native' format.
For standard definition the ideal format for PRE is DV-AVI Type 2. This is almost lossless and operates at around 13GB per hour.
Compression to an output format (e.g. DVD, or an iPod, or viewing online) is managed through the share process.
You could:
Import your footage - e.g AVCHD, HDV, DV-AVI, VOB
Share it to a compressed format - e.g. MP4
Delete the original capture source (in Step 1)
Work in a new project using the compressed output (in step 2).
But if you do this your final output quality will be lessened through working with a compressed original that you will then compress again. I can't see what you feel you will gain by this - disk space is so cheap now why wouldn't you want to give yourself the best quality source to work with.
Note that once you are finished with a project you can archive it off to free up your disk space.

Neale

PRE9 ? What is max Quality to Burn DVD from 1080i Source????

Dont know if I worded the question properly.
I just bought a Sony HDR-CX350v. It is state of the art HD. I am wondering...? When I look at the quality of my recordings, its awesome. I import to PSE9 and burn to DVD and the quality is significantly less than straight to the camera. So it is recording via AVCHD...and then to PSE9 and then is it being compressed again to play on DVD? I checked all the settings and it doesnt seem to allow to burn at the same quality as I import from camera. Im sorry if this sounds extremely confusing or like I dont know all the variables...I dont. Hopefully I have articulated my situation enough and someone can figure out for me what I am asking. Thanks.

I presume that if I connect the camera to my TV via HDMI (dont have right cable yet) that it will display in full HD.
Correct.
RFMclaughlin3 wrote:
That being the casse, it would seem to me that there must be a way to import files into PRE9, edit, add titles etc and then save to a file without compromising quality of the original HD file? My TV is networked, I must be able to play a file straight to my TV from my PC....? Am I dreaming?
PRE will always rerender a file when creating an output, but you must choose one of the HiDef output formats. Saving to DVD will always (by definition) be StandardDef.
RFMclaughlin3 wrote:
Also, I have tried using PRE9's presets to save the movie for uploading using Flash and MPEG and again the quality is very blurry/marginal. I see great quality videos online, seriously clear productions. How are these done? How can I do the same?
Take a look at John Cloudman recommendations towards the bottom of How can I get the best quality on YouTube? and see if that improves your quality.

Horrible video output quality with Premiere Pro CS4 + Adobe Media Encoder

I am trying to make some changes to a DV format file, and output as the same DV format. When the video is brought into Premiere, it looks crisp in the left-hand video box. But, when playing it on the right window and when encoding it, it comes out as a mess with substantial compression artifacts.
What confuses me is, I have experimented with a lot of codecs--even uncompressed AVI. There is no change in the video resolution--source is 720x480, as is output. I am keeping all the pixel aspect ratios the same as the source footage.
What is creating this distortion? I have no scaling of the video whatsoever in the sequence...
Is there some compression box I'm not seeing here?
I've attached a screenshot of a still from the video. As you can see, substantial artifacting around the lettering, making the text unreadable.

Some suggestions and answer at least the 16 questions at the end of the Wiki article.

Video output quality worse than AppleTv 1

Anyone else who owns an atv1 found video looks worse?
I'm not talking about actual video playback but the video output on 2
AppleTV1 looked great through my plasma even though it's not full HD
1080p over hdmi on 1 scaled by the plasma consistently looked best, with crisp but smooth edges to text and GUI.
Atv2 720p over hdmi looks consistently worse - it all looks oversharpened and over contrasty, with text in particular looking very jagged as well as the spinning timer wheel looking pixellated now
Watching a slideshow there seemed to be visible artefacts as some images moved or scaled whereas atv1 just looked silky smooth
Maybe the current GUI text and icons are not as smooth, maybe less antialiasing, poorer quality gpu
Maybe my plasma downscales 720p worse than 1080p - I need to check on the full HD set in another room but first impressions are not that good
Video playback seems strangely artificial too, almost as though the frame rate has been sped up slightly
Weird as the set should handle 50/60Hz without issue

So a few days in it's growing on me.
There's definitely something different about menu graphics but actual video quality for playback is excellent though I'm not sure it's not dropping/catching up frames at times.
I've watched some HD movie trailers and they look excellent.
Video navigation is considerably improved over ATV1, with FF / RW actually working reasonably well when they didn't before over the same connection. Changing chapters gives immediate starts and buffering seems considerably quicker - at least some of this must be due to newer hardware.
I don't like the top level menu much and preferred the older system but you can pretty much stay in Computers to watch own content.
Video playlists don't work properly which is poor but it took ages to get them enabled on ATV1.
There are many glitches but hopefully they'll get ironed out over time.

What kind of longevity can I expect from the SSD in a new MacBook Pro with Retina Display?

Hi all,
I recently ordered a new MacBook Pro with the Retina Display. This will be both my first computer and my first Mac that uses a SSD as the primary storage device. As the title of this post suggests, what I would like to know is what sort of lifespan/longevity can I expect to get out of it? My current MacBook Pro was manufactured in 2007 and has a stock 160GB Fujitsu hard drive that has been fantastic for me over the past 4-5 years. It continues to run like a champ, and I would hope that a brand new SSD would be able to last at least that long. Given that the new retina MBPs cannot be upgraded or (easily) user-serviced, I am somewhat curious to know whether or not Apple's new proprietary SSD modules will give out/slow to a crawl before/after my new machine becomes completely obsolete. I have been searching for articles published within the past few months on whether or not the current crop of SSDs on the market are more reliable than those introduced a year or two ago, but alas, I haven't had much luck. Perhaps it is still too early to tell?
I found a few discussion threads on here somewhere where some users indicated that their original MacBook Airs, or other SSD-equipped MacBooks, were still performing quite well and responsively after a few years of use. Can anyone substantiate this for me? How long have you been using your SSD(s) in your Mac(s), and do you think the newer models will be able to last several years? I would greatly appreciate any insight.

While I think your concern is legitimate (it was mine too), I think to some extent, how long they last will be up to you. The individual cells in the flash media in an SSD have limited life spans, and SSD controllers have a variety of techniques to spread that wear around evenly (wear leveling). That wear is exacerbated by the controller having to erase a whole block of data when even just one page needs to be changed, and if not all the data in the block is still valid, more data than necessary gets moved (write amplification). To provide some extra room for all this reshuffling of data, SSD manufacturers build in extra space that's inaccessible to the user (over-provisioning), but it typically runs about 7%. (This is a good discussion of the inner workings of all this)
If you stuff your SSD full of files, so that there's very little room to do all this rearranging, I think you'll experience the slowdown you're concerned about. TRIM, which Apple's SSD's support, will help, but you can too. Allow plenty of free space on your SSD and perhaps partition it so that there is free space outside the partition (check this out to see what a difference it can make). You can't use it but the controller can as an extension of the built-in over-provisioning.
You also mention that you "will most likely use it to record several tracks and store my growing library of songs and videos." Why not instead use an external SSD connected via USB 3.0 for storage? They're relatively cheap, very fast, and keep the space on your internal working drive free. A BootCamp partition would also take up space, so you might consider using Windows in a Virtual Machine instead. VMware Fusion or Parallels would be installed on the internal SSD but the virtual machine files could go on the external.
In any case, your data is more important than your SSD, so back up, back up, back up.

How Do I Watch Movies From IPOD Video On My TV?

I have some movies on my ipod & i wanna hook it up to my projector to watch on the screen. The Projector has the Audio/Video Plugs, so whats some ways i can do this and what will i need to buy?
thx!

Well, pretty much all you need is an A/V cable. It's a cable that has what looks like a headphones jack at one end (except that it has 4 connectors instead of 3) and RCA cables at the other end (with the red, white, and yellow jacks). Sometimes this type of cable is called a camcorder cable. Here's a picture of one at The Source: http://www.thesourcecc.com/estore/Product.aspx?language=en-CA&catalog=Online&cat egory=CamcorderAccessories&product=1508373
Plug the headphones jack end into the iPod and the RCA jacks into the TV (yellow is video, red is right audio, and white is left audio). Then if you want to watch a movie or photos on the TV, go into the settings for either one of those and where it says TV Out, either set that to Ask or On. I always have it on Ask because then what it does is asks each time before I view a photo/video if I want to output to the TV or not. But, you will only see something on the TV if you are watching a photo/video; you will never see the menus etc on the TV.

Classic's Scroll wheel works differently from iPod Video?

My new Classic fits just about perfectly in the case I've been using with my 80 gig iPod video...except for something weird. The Classic can't seem to sense my finger rotating around the scroll wheel through whatever kind of plastic InCase uses to protect the scroll wheel. Button pushes work just fine, and the scroll wheel on the iPod Video has always worked just fine in the InCase case. What's changed about the scroll sensing on the Classic?

I didn't own a 5g iPod but: When you touch 2 spots on the classic's wheel at the same time, the wheel won't work. Just try it yourself: Put a finger on some spot on the wheel and then scroll anywhere else on the wheel - nothing happens (except for when both spots are real close together. then the wheel thinks you just have kind of a big thumb or something :D)
So maybe this is different from the 5g wheel? I mean this is exactly what happens with a plastic case, isn't it? If you push down the plastic, it touches the wheel not only on the spot where you push it down, but slightly touches it on one or several other spots.
Maybe that's not the solution, but maybe it is ^^
