Why is trying to embed a video file so ridiculously complicated?

For the life of me, I can't get any videos to show up in the "media" tab of Keynote.
I would like to insert a simple QT movie into one of my presentations but for some reason this function still appears not to work very well even after nearly a year!
I have PC and I'm working only with the iPad version of Keynote. So I need to be able to do this via the iPad. Not my desktop.
I have QT Pro and converted the movie to some different formats (Apple TV, etc) and it didn't work. Then I tried the "Create iPad or Apple TV Version" in iTunes and that still didn't work!
What am I missing????
Is this a major bug? Or just bad documentation? It looks like many others are having this problem with varying degrees of any final resolution.
Any help would be appreciated.
Again... I do all the conversions and they appear to be done properly. I sync. And then when I try to embed the movie into a slide, there is nothing except photo albums. No video to be found.

According to the Keynote for iPad help, if you use a Mac, to access your movies, you must first import them to your iPhoto library, and then synchronize using the Photos pane in iTunes to get them onto your iPad. On a Windows PC, place photos and videos into a folder and then synchronize the folder using the Photos pane in iTunes.
A bit strange, but probably an artifact of the "sandboxing" that isolates apps from each other to help prevent malware.
Hope this helps.

  • Trying to embed a video file in HTML5: ERROR=No video with supported format and MIME type found?

    Hello all!
    I am desparate for a solution. I am testing my site on Firefox and Explorer and still no sign of a functional video yet.
    Firefox: I get the error: No video with supported format and MIME type found.
    Explorer: I just get a distorted layout.
    Here is the code I am working on:

    Please tell me that there is something missing in the code. I have spent a lot of time uninstalling-updating Firefox plugins, added MIME types in the Internet Information Manager (I'm on Windows 7)
    and  seriuously hit a dead end with this!
    Any advice would be muchly appreciated!!!
    Thanks

    As Jon said, you must declare the page as HTML5.
    And your server may not be set up to deliver video as a binary file if it is an .OGG file. I have not seen this problem with .MP4 or .M4V in the past, but every server is a little different.
    To add a MIME type, you need to change your .htaccess file on an Apache server thusly:
    AddType audio/ogg .oga
    AddType video/ogg .ogv
    AddType application/ogg .ogg
    AddHandler application-ogg .ogg .ogv .oga
    Additionally, MIME types can usually be changed on a server's Control Panel. One can also ask one's hosting provider to do this as well.
    Firefox makes it necessary to use OGG files. Webkit-based browsers will deal with .M4V or .MP4 and I understand Internet Exploder will work with the latter two as well.

  • I just recently upgraded my itouch from 4.1 to ios5, and updated to itunes 10.5. when isynced my music files,ebooks and other apps, all is working except when im trying to sync my video files. it says, canot be synced as cannot be played on this ipod.help

    i just recently upgraded my itouch from 4.1 to ios 5, and updated to itunes 10.5. but when i synced my music files,ebooks and other apps, all is working except when im trying to sync my video files. it says, canot be synced as cannot be played on this ipod. but those are the same files that i have when i was using the old 4.1 version and its syncing just fine.. the itunes advanced tab "create iphone or ipod version" is not working either so i cant convert it to be xferred and synced. what can i do to have my video files synced?

    i had the same problem but i just got a new video converter and made it convert videos to ipod/iphone format and then put them into itunes. i would suggest GOM encoder as the encoder can convert them and then once they're finished converting, put them automatically into your itunes for you. from there you can just sync them to your ipod.

    Hello:
    I am very much a novice with Final Cut.  I am trying to import some video files from  my desktop but keep getting an error message that says, "File error  1 file recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown".  The file type is .mov, 35MB, 1920 x 1080, Codec MPEG-2 video linear PCM timecode, color profile HD (1+1+1).  Can someone help?  Thanks, Paul

    You can't import MPEG-2 files directly to FCP X.
    Can you play this file in Quicktime Player? If so, then you can use the free program MPEG Streamclip to convert this to Quicktime. Use the ProRes codec.

  • I'm trying to move a video file on to my airport time capsule but it keeps asking me to click Authenticate - how and where do I do this?

    I'm trying to move a video file on to my airport time capsule but it keeps asking me to click Authenticate - how and where do I do this?

    Unmount the TC disk and manually mount it in Finder..
    Use Go, Connect to Server.
    Type in the network name or IP address thusly.
    AFP://TCname.local (TCname is the actual network name of the TC.. this is not the same as its name unless you use correct SMB naming.. so simply fix the name or find its network name. local is domain). 
    or
    AFP://10.0.1.1 (That is default IP, type in your TC ip which should only be used if static)
    When you do the above it will request a password, type in your TC disk access password.
    You should be able to copy files to the TC now.. but please remember the TC is not a great place to store files and Time Machine cannot back it up.

  • Why can't I delete this video file from my trash can?

    I have a video file that I will not disappear from my trash can when I click the "empty track" button. I managed to move the folder containing the video file from documents to the trash after a lot of effort, but it kept telling me that I didn't have the privileges necessary to delete the video permanently. Now the video file is sitting inside a folder inside the trash can where I can't move anywhere else. If I try to move it anywhere else, it simply copys to that folder but stays inside the original stays in the trash can as well, but I can still delete the copy and the original stays sitting in the trash can. Can anyone help me so I can get rid of this file once and for all.

    ho yeah .. i know that, but i tried even in a low quality and it's not worked.
    Maybe it's related to the TimeQuick?

  • How to embed Windows video files in iweb

    I uploaded several videos to a web site using iweb for a fortune 500 company only to find out the wmv videos I put in didn't load because iweb uses a quicktime container for all videos dropped on the page. After spending a lot of time on this site (how to link video files, embeding google/youtube video) I finally came across another site that was very help. If you interested here it is:
    Home page: http://www.mediacollege.com/
    Embedded wmv files: http://www.mediacollege.com/video/format/windows-media/streaming/
    Just drop in the html code and change the file names and location.
    I'm new to mac and this discussion board has been very helpful. I hope Apple includes a way to embed windows file. There are too many PCs out there to ignore.
    Macbook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  
    Macbook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  
    Macbook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I choose to ignore Windows use until I need to fire up my PC. I don't create files for WMP format, either.
    You are leaving out some import "steps" when you say "drop in the html code" because this requires post-publishing edits with a plain text editor.
    And the code shown is now out of date as Microsoft "change the rules" (again) for ActiveX content.
    This page code would generate an ActiveX alert dialog asking the viewer what to do. Many viewers just click "No" and move on.

  • Trying to send large video file...

    I am trying to send a quicktime video file via my mac mail. When I try to send I get error that says my server only allows files 29.6mb and smaller. How do I send larger files (the one I want to send is 58.6mb)

    I did some digging, and if you aren't scared of Terminal.app, and the recipient on the other end is a Mac guy (or gal) and is not afraid of Terminal.app, there is a built-in unix utility that will do what you want.
    To learn all about it, type man split 
    As an example of how to use it, suppose you have a big file called "Movie.mov" that is in your Movies folder. cd ~/Movies to change directories to your Movies folder. Then type split -b 4m Movie.mov movseg 
    This will purportedly take the file "Movie.mov" that is in your home directory's Movies folder, and split it into multiple files movsegaa, movsegab, movsegac, ...., not one file segment exceeding 4 MB (the "-b" option is segment size in bytes and can be a plain number or append a k for kilobytes or m for megabytes, the latter as in this example).
    Now you can email each segment as an attachment in its own unique email message.
    The recipient should download all the attachments to the same place (to make it easy) and cd to that directory. Then type
    cat movsegaa movsegab movsegac {list of remaining movseg-- filenames separated by spaces} > Movie.mov and it rebuilds the original "Movie.mov" file.
    I didn't try this with a movie file, but I did try it with a 140MB ".tgz" file and with a small text file. The MD5 checksum of the original and the reconstructed files were identical and I was able to uncompress and unarchive the .tgz file with no problem, and could open and read the reconstructed text file with no problem. You'd probably want to "trial" the reassembly yourself before emailing all of the file segment attachments, though.
    The only problem -- if your recipient isn't a Mac user, I don't think Windoze command line supports these two commands.
    Also, if your file is really really big and the automatically generated file segment name suffixes aa-zz (26 x 26 possible files segments) isn't enough to handle the total number of file segments that you'll need to fit through the email servers, include a " -a 3 " option either just before or just after the "-b {segSize}" option to make filename suffixes aaa-zzz (26 x 26 x 26 possible file segments -- your recipient will love you!) One could put together a unix script pretty quickly to rebuild a gazillion file segments into a reconstructed copy of the original, though.
    PS - your .mac account may allow you to send a file attachment as large as 29.6MB, but many email providers only allow their customers to receive files up to 10MB in size, and some are even more draconian than that, imposing a 5MB limit (two local universities immediately come to mind). They will reject the attempted inbound delivery and you, the sender, may or may not get notification of that event from the recipient's server. So be sure to follow up with another email asking if the recipient received the "N" email attachments and did (s)he get the file reassembled okay.

  • Trying to Embed a video into a program

    I have made a gag game in visual basic, that involves a couple of video clips, I used the "Windows Media Player" thing to embed the clips, and I tested it multiple times, and its ready to be distributed, so I gave a "pre-release" copy
    of the game to my friend for him to install, and the videos did not show up, I figured out that the video clips, no matter what I do wont be installed with the program, and have a quick path within the program folder... So my question is is that if there is
    anyway to fix that, that would be great... Maybe make the Program portable and... ugh I dunno please do help me...

    What do you mean by embed the clips?
    Do you mean added the clips as resources in your applications properties so they are embedded in the compiled .exe for your application? If so they will have to be written to files from resources for Windows Media Player to play them as it can not play files
    directly from resources.
    You could provide the video clips (I suppose you mean video files) with your application as files in an appropriate folder to place them in when you install your program on another PC. Recommended folder locations can be found in the link below. It advises
    what folders on a system should be used by your application. I use an installer to install my applications on 64 bit Windows in the "Program Files (x86)" folder in a sub folder of course. As the installer (Install Shield Limited Edition - Free version
    from internet) is set up for that for my system. XP or 32 bit OS may be different. But other files for my application (not .Dll's associated to my application) would go in other, appropriate, folders.

  • WHY won't AppleTV support other video file formats?

    I understand that the latest version of AppleTV STILL does not support the variety of video formats that are playable in Front Row. I use Front Row all the time, I just don't understand why Apple is restricting AppleTV so much. File conversion is too time-consuming and more trouble than its worth. So if anyone out there at Apple is listening: I will not buy an AppleTV until it can play other file formats, and not just the (extremely limited) selection that they want to sell me from the ITunes store.
    If anyone else out there can explain this policy, I would love to know the reason.

    I know it's only my own opinion but I'm not to sure what all the fuss is about formats. The main compression types in use are mpeg. The tv supports mpeg4 within the restrictions placed on it by complexity levels due to hardware limitations. Mpeg2 as pointed out needs licensing and anything over SD is likely to require too high a bitrate for the tv. Mpeg1 is just plain useless for large screen viewing.
    The lack of support for container types seems quite reasonable to me.  support their own container (.mov) and the standard mpeg4 container (.mp4), which should really be enough. You can add plug-ins for other container types to your computer which allows them to work in front row for example, but allowing users to modify software on consumer devices is not all that practical and not a road  have chosen to go down.
    In producing video for my own use I use a variety of formats that suit my own needs, if I were producing these videos for distribution I wouldn't, I'd choose .mp4 and then anyone could watch them.
    May I suggest that it isn't 's fault you can't play the video files you have acquired, but those that have produced them who have chosen to use a limited delivery method.

  • Why does Firefox 4 not open video files (news and youtube) at all, but Firefox 3 and MSIE 8 open these video files quickly, all on my Dell Dimension 8250 desktop with MS Windows XL Pro?

    I subscribe to an Earthlink package of telephone and ISP through DSL in Dallas, Texas. To avoid the congestion (time outs and files not found) of the virtual "cloud" servers, as a workaround I connect to the Internet through dial-up on each session on my pc. There is only one pc or computer on my local network. I downloaded Firefox 4 RC and it failed (would not open video files on the Internet), so I removed the Firefox 4 RC program from my pc, and then I downloaded and installed Firefox 3.6.16, which works fine.
    My operating system is Windows XP Pro.

    Try disabling hardware acceleration. Many visual bugs can be attributed to issues with graphics drivers.

  • Why when trying to play YouTube videos does it tell me I need JavaScript and adobe flash player but phone doesn't support

    Get error message when trying to play YouTube video's say phone don't support adobe flash player but sometimes it plays them

  • Why does some artwork embed into the file, but not others?

    Hey everyone.
    I'm running iTunes 11.3.1. I'm incredibly obsessive about having organised files and one thing in particular I want is album artwork embedded into the music file itself, not just on iTunes. The problem I have is that the artwork will embed for some, and not for others - even if I use the exact same methods:
    I use the following for getting HQ covers: http://bendodson.com/code/itunes-artwork-finder/index.html
    I will then click on the high resolution version, copy it to clipboard, command-i to get info of the individual tracks and manually paste the cover into every track on the album. When I then go into Finder to see if it has embedded, I find that for one album it has worked perfectly; but although I use the exact same method, it won't work for another album even if they're exactly the same file type.
    (I know I can save myself time and select all the tracks, command-i and paste the artwork to do it in one go - but I find I get just as much of a mixed bag. I.e. sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't.)
    I am literally at the end of my tether and I can't figure out what I need to do differently, any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    I have encountered exactly the same problem and frustration :-)
    Although I can't offer a definitive reason why, I did notice that the problem tracks typically had a higher resolution image attached in iTunes. I have used Preview to reduce the resolution to 600 x 600 (standard iTunes size) and it worked.
    Now, I have no idea if it was the resolution or the fact that I was re-saving a fresh version of the JPG (which may have stripped out whatever was causing the problem), but the process of tweaking the file to 600 x 600 and re-saving has worked for me.
