Where to Store Movies???

Is it better to store movies in the imovie events or in iphoto? Right now I have many home movies stored as imovie events on several hard drives. However, its a bit cumbersome if I'm trying to make a project using photos & videos its a lot of go between.
Anyway, if its better to store in iphoto, is there a way for imovie to show videos stored in multiple iphoto libraries?
Thanks in advance for any pearls of wisdom...

I think it's a matter of choice, personally I don't see any particular advantage in moving them (with possible exceptions) but there would really be no need to have them in both places.
The exceptions I mention are:
Having video in im instead of ip, frees the video from being stored in your photo library, you would be able to move it to an external drive for example without having to move all of your photo library.
Also being in iphoto, the video is shared with other iphoto users, this isn't the case with im video.

Where to store movies ? in the iPhoto Library or the iMovie Library

Hi,
I never had a digital video camera. All my video footage has been shot with my photo cameras. I started with very few clips, never really used iMovie and was most of the time a happy camper with iPhoto. As the photos and the video clips were and are produced on the same device I just followed the most convenient way and imported everything into my iPhoto library.
Switching to the Panasonic FZ18 at the end of 2007 and to the Panasonic FZ28 lead to better "quality" clips and I am now generating much more video footage than I did previously. I did not change the old habit of importing everything into my iPhoto library.
In the middle of the transition to iLife 09 I ask myself if this decision is still the best. So what I need are some arguments pro and con.
Shall I separate my video clips from the iPhoto library and transfer them to the iMovie video library to make them real iMovie events and not only part of the iPhoto section? What would be benefits?
How would this be done? Export the videos from iPhoto delete them in iPhoto and import them into iMovie? We are talking about 6 hours 30 minutes of footage in about 800 clips.
How would the import from the device or the storage card be done in the future?
Thanks in advance
when I started using iLife 08 I imported all my photos and all video clips shot withfootage into iPhto

Confused where to store movies. In iPhoto or iMovie

When I hookup my camera, all the photos and video clips download right into iPhoto. I just learned tonight that I can import these directly into iMovie, which seems nice. However, iPhoto has the ability to assign keywords and such to video clips. So it seems there are advantages to storing the video clips in both places. What do most people do?
For all the videos that are already in iPhoto, is there an easy way to yank them out and only have them exist in iMovie?
Thanks!

In my opinion iMove is for editing not storing or managing archived files. iPhoto is a somewhat decent management program so keep your movies in there and only drag the files you need for projects in iMovie into iMovie.

Does the iPod work OK?
Does it charge when connect to the computer?
Does it appear in My Computer?
Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Compare with the iPod that does work/connect.
I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1

iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

Please help its driving me insane

There is another less expensive option:
Windows 7 System Builder $99 and full install is limited to one computer (can't be installed later if you get a new computer, but for what you save, so what, and Windows 7 SP2 or even whatever "8" is will be out by then (2013 time frame).
Amazon and Newegg are good places to find Home Premium, and unless using only in a VM and not native Boot Camp, get 64-bit version.
NO need for retail higher price that comes with 32 and 64-bit and ability to reinstall on new hardware some point.

What is the best place to store movie content?

I was storing my movies that I converted from dvd in a separate folder on another drive. Then I ran the consolidation option and it copied them to my music folder, within a sub folder called movies.
Should I store them there to start with? or is there any best practices for storing them separate from itunes music and just pointing to them? I did this in the past, changed to a larger hard drive and lost all of my pointers.
Any suggestions?

I think it really depends on the system you have, where you store the iTunes library and how much free space you have on the main/boot drive of the computer.
Many people use external drives, which are cheap these days, and high capacity to store the whole iTunes library and that is the option I prefer - yes it's an all eggs in one basket solution, but so long as you have the original files copied elsewhere too then there's some redundancy.
For me the benefits are:
- dedicated drive (or drives) for media
- when upgrade required capacity wise could just add another ext drive and link or span the drives, or move library to higher capacity drive
- less wear and tear on the system/boot drive
- conserves space on my modestly size iMac system/boot drive
I don't think there's a one size fits all answer, but if I have redundant copies elsewhere, then it makes more sense to have a dedicated library drive that might go belly up due to frequent use when streaming, but keeps media off the system/boot drive.

How can I store movies in the cloud and access them on my devices without having to download them to them?

Hello,
I would like to store movies in the cloud and access them from my device without having to download them to the device because there is not enough space on the harddrive to store them on it. How would I do this? Would I have to download the movies to my PC or could I store them directly in the cloud?
Thanks,
Tyler

Would I have to download the movies to my PC or could I store them directly in the cloud?
There is good news coming!
Technology experts are working on a movie storage system where YOU have physical possession of the movie.
This system stores the movie digitally on an optical disk system that will not be dependent upon a congested, complicated, and fragile network.
Because all of the data is stored only a few feet from your television, all the bottlenecks are removed. Performance and reliability are virtually flawless.
Further, the system will not utilize any form of security codes, authentications, or passwords. Once the optical disc is purchased it can be moved around freely at will, and can even be lent or given to friends and neighbors with zero hassles.

HT5731 where does a movie go if I clicked 'download later" ?

where does a movie go if I clicked 'download later" ?

Does the Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option download it ? Or does it show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes for downloading ?

How can I change the location where itunes stores my backup?

I don't know how to change the location were itunes stores my backup and my transfer purchases. I don't have enough memory on the hard driver where the windows is installed.Please help me!!!

Transferred purchases usually get stored in the iTunes Media folder although if your library started life back on iTunes 8 or earlier then apps could be stored within the main iTunes library folder. This post gives an overview of how to restructure your library on a different drive. I can give specific instructions if you tell me more about your current setup.
To change where iTunes stores iOS device backups redirect <Profile>\<AppData>\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup to a folder on another drive using NTFSLink (shell ext., might only work on XP) or Junction (cmd line tool). In essence you move the existing folder to a new location, create an empty folder where the old one used to be, then get the operating system to link the two together and silently redirect any file operation on the old location through to the new one.

ATV iTunes store movie downloads vanished

Having searched for related topics and come up empty, I am posting a new thread concerning iTunes store movies purchased directly to and lost from my ATV (disclaimer: in searching for related topics, almost all of my key words showed up results of "0", so I am suspicious that the support site is wonky ... I had to scan for related topics and tired of it before finding anything close). I have the iTunes receipts, so I am sure that I "purchased" the movies and did not "rent" by accident. Both movies have vanished from my ATV, without having been watched. They also do not appear on any of my other computers iTunes libraries. I did verify that they were purchased and were listed with a movie downloaded from my desktop computer to ATV, which is still present on my ATV. Just the two movies purchased through iTunes directly to my ATV are lost.
Having read Winston Churchill's post on ATV not being a back up device, I am wondering if the ATV has problems with retaining content. If it is not able to reliably store files, is it in fact just an expensive "chord" linking my computer to a tv? (Winston Churchill refers to the ATV as an "iTunes extender", not a stand alone device ... could have sworn my ATV is "standing alone").
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
ATV and computers running latest iTunes and ATV software.

Hey Chris,
just wondering where you got this information from (how the iTunes movies are formatted/encoded)? is there an apple technical document that gives the specs for the iTunes movies? has Apple released this information? if so where (could you possibly include a link?), and if not, how do you know it? i'm encoding some of the DVDs that i own to put on my ipod using handbrake. Does this mean that if i set my handbrake average bitrate to 1500 kbps (and the format to MPEG-4) that i will be importing them at the same quality as the movies on iTunes? thanx very much!

Will the Hong Kong iTunes store movie selection be expanded and will TV shows be made available?

Will the Hong Kong iTunes store movie selection be expanded and will TV shows be made available?
This is a determining factor as to whether I will buy an Apple TV.
So far the movie selection is around 150 only with no TV shows available. Having said that the HD playback is flawless!

We're all just fellow users here and as such have no information as to where Apple's negotiations with the HK movie and TV show owners might stand. It's totally up to those owners, and even in the US, the content owners have been reluctant. We'll all just have to wait and see.
Regards.

How to store movies on Apple TV without keeping them in the iTunes library

I'd like to know how I can store movies on the Apple TV without having to keep them in the iTunes library. I'd like to use the 160Gb of space on my Apple TV without having to use the same space on my nearly full MBP hard disk !
Thanks in advance...

The idea of storing songs, movies and photographs on the ATV is to allow the end-user to turn off their computer and just use the device like a stereo/video component.
Ah! Of course... I wasn't even considering this b/c I'm one of these people who almost never has his computer off b/c I work from home and also do a lot of web surfing, etc. but obviously many many people have the computer shut off much more often than it is on.
So, alright. I see why the hard drive is there... it just seems so tempting for it to be able to be more of a stand alone device, more like another computer with iTunes on it rather than like a big iPod that sits under my TV. I guess I'll file that away in my tech wish list...

How to store movies & TV shows in a different location

Hi there!
I've seen many of you asking (unfortunatelly with no clear answer) how to store movies & TV shows into another location away from the iTunes Music folder. This idea is to store videos on an AirDisk drive and keep music on the MacBook for example!
I've been trying to do so in the past few days but some pb have occured...
- it is possible to replace the Movies folder by an alias pointing to a Movies folder in the AirDisk drive: existing movies will be playable in iTunes.... the problem is that when I try to add new movies iTunes do not store them into the Movies folder on the AirDisk but in the local music folder (very strange as it is a video file!).
Has anyone succeeded in using such mechanisms?!
Many thanks for your answers!
Guillaume,

You cannot delete them from iCloud.
They are purchased and will always be available in iTunes in iCloud for you to download again if you wish.

I have a file where I store my download music. When I click on "add music" to my ipod my music file opens, but rather than have to drag one song at a time to my ipod, how do I copy the entire file at once to my ipod. - steve

Hi - I have a file where I store my downloaded music. When I plug in my ipod and click on "add music" my file appears. Rather than drag one song at a time, how can I download the entire list at once? - steve

I am not doing it in ITunes, but i did down load the song from ITunes. I loaded the song on to my Nano, but in my menu selections it doesn't show the song or the artist in any search format. However, when i plug in my nano to my PC I see the Nano library on my PC drive listings and that song and artist are there. I can click on the song and it will play in Windows media on my work PC. I did notice that the format for most all the songs in my library on my Nano are MPEG - 4 audio Files.
Thanks for your help, Mel

Where we store in sap r/3

Dear sir we can uploaded old data in sap r/3. by lsmw and bdc. but where we store.
thanks regards
jitendra

Hi,
LSMW - Helps to transfer data from legacy system to SAP either one time or periodically.
Steps -
1. Import data (legacy data in spreadsheet tables and/or sequential files)
2. Convert data (from source format to target format)
3. Import data (into the database of the SAP application)
a. Maintain Structure relations, field mapping and conversion rules.
b. Data from legacy system is read
c. Based on step a, the data gets converted
d. The converted data is imported to R/3 system based onBatch input processing or Direct Input or through IDOC Inbound processing
