Will Apple TV support other video formats?

most of my collection is in AVI format. until other codecs are supported its of no use to me whatsover.

Have a look at awkwardtv.org (wiki), there you can find out how to play avi and others by installing ATVFiles and Perian plugins. Perhaps this quide is helpful:
http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/10/how-to-play-divx-and-xvid-on-your-apple-tv
Have a look at the list of supported file formats!
There is also a brand new plugin which plays files using mplayer: nitoTV (youtube video)
Hopefully the Patchstick is ready soon!
best regards

HT202157 When will Apple TV support Amazon Prime Instant Video?

When will Apple TV support Amazon prime instant video?

Most of the YouTube video subtitles are inserted by flash. Unfortunately, ios OS products don't support flash. If you do want to play them with subtitle, maybe you can use a video converter to help you convert YouTube videos to Apple TV. The only thing you should make sure before the conversion is that the videos that you download is bearing the subtitle, then the converted files would have the substitles as well. Hope that would help.

What software will convert a NCOR file to other video formats?

Since Encore will only write to a disc, disc image, or Flash, what software will convert a NCOR file to other video formats?

Now that I have more information, here's the issue in summary:
A coworker is working on a training program for facilitators, total 3.5 hours long.
Part of it includes a video, after which the viewer should be able to select one of several vignettes, smaller videos. At the conclusion of those, the viewer should be able to print a certificate.
The coworker created a video in Adobe Premier, and then accompanying menus in Adobe Encore. If we heard them right, the web developers said that the entire project (videos and menus) must be in MPEG-4, and we discovered that Encore can't do that. Encore could do it in Flash; the developers do not want that.
I think what is going on here is a misunderstanding. It sounds like they want an interactive presentation. The video can be MPEG-4 from Premier. The Menu interactivity is something else, since MPEG-4 is not interactive. Flash is the only way I know of to keep the interactivity. Someone needs to ask the web developers what they are expecting.
What do you guys suggest, besides a plain old HTML menu page with hyperlinked buttons on it?

Make iTunes recognize other video formats

Hello folks,
I am trying to import wide variety of video formats in iTunes. Frankly, the days have gone that we have to use strictly mp4, there are many players that can play other formats so I don't want to re-encode the videos to mp4. Hence it brings me to the question, how do I make iTunes recognize other video formats. If QuickTime can play all the video formats then why iTunes can not?
Apparently, there are ways around for mac but I did not find any for windows. I will be glad if anyone can flash some light.
Thanks in advance.
(P.S. - I know, I can bring videos to iPad without them being in iTunes but I find it good to have all videos in library.)

That's not how it's supposed to work according to this: http://www.griffintechnology.com/support/italkpro/
By default, a playlist will be created in iTunes called "Voice Memos" and those files will be transferred there automatically. The files themselves can be found on your computer in your iTunes Music folder in Unknown Artist > Unknown Album.
It may be worth working through any trouble shooting articles on that site.
Regards,
Colin R.

Hi, Could you please suggest a video player, that support all video formats?

Hi, Could you please suggest a video player, that support all video formats?

This is probably as good as it gets:

You won't find anything that plays "all video formats", because of the restrictions built into the iOS.

Adding other Video formats to iWeb

I am looking to add other video formats to my website so that users do not have to download quicktime just to see my work on my site. The issue I am having is, that when I add another video format to my site, another video box will appear. I am looking to have quicktime be the featured format on the site, but I would like the user to be able to click on other file formats, say Windows media player for example, and the video will appear on another page. I apologize if this is confusing. What I am trying to say is that I don't want 5 different video boxes on the same page at the same time. I would like just one video box (in quicktime format), and then words such as Windows media or Real Player underneath the quicktime movie video box that they can click on if they need to view the video in that format.
Obviously I am new to iWeb and web design in general for that matter. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, is there anyway to spruce up the video boxes themselves, or is that the only look it can have on the site? Thanks in advance.

You could put the video on another page and put links under the QT video. Hide the page in the navbar and add your own link on the QT page.
I would have thought that most people have QT but as I don't use a PC what do I know!! Isn't it usually Macs that can't play windows formats not the other way round?

Enquiries on whether fla can be linked to another fla, swf to flv or other video format and buttons to an animation

I have 3 enquiries.
1) How do I embed another fla within fla.
For example, I am working on a fla, is it possible to create
a link to another fla via a button?
2) How do i convert a swf file into a flv file or any other
video format like avi, mp4, etc?
I am asking this because I realized when I try to import a
swf into my fla file, I could only bundle it for mobile. Neither
the progressive nor the streaming nor the embeding options could be
checked.
3) After adding tweening motion to an animation, is it
possible to add buttons to play/pause? Do I have to write a script
to enable the buttons to work?
I tried adding buttons (Windows>components>video),
however, the buttons were not functioning like the case when I
imported a video. I think it's because adding tweening to an
animation doesn't really dismiss it as a video file.
I would greatly appreaciate if anyone could post a solution
to my problems.
Thanks.

I am not so sure that this is a bug, and I have not been able to reproduce this behavior that you are describing.
But you can lock it from editing by right-clicking on the graph and go to Properties>>Appearance>>Enabled State --> Disabled
Also, word of advice for the future: You will get more replies from the community with shorter posts and keeping it to one question per post. Summarize what the issue is, and put the detailed documentation and instructions to reproduce in the actual VI.

Will apple ever support blue tooth 4

will apple ever support blue tooth 4

Then you would need to add newer hardware to your older Mac

You cannot magically support features on hardware that was not built with them. The actual wires and chips need to have the features. You need a newer BT chip.

With the current up coming addition of Maverick will Apple still support and put out Updates for Mountain Lion?

With the current up coming addition of Maverick OS will Apple still support and put out Updates out for Mountain Lion? I want to make sure my computer will still be secured.

I'm sure that Apple will continue to provide support for Mountain Lion and other previous versions of their operating system. They have always provided updates for most versions of their software, even though newer versions were released.

Will Apple Pages support a third-party font that is not compatible with Microsoft Word?

Will Apple Pages support a third-party font that is not compatible with Microsoft Word? I do not want to purchase Pages unless I can use it for this one very specific purpose. How can I determine the correct answer before purchase?
Many thanks for any guidance you can offer.

Hmmm ... I see the font in my Font Book and in Suitcase Fusion, but it doesn't appear on the list of fonts in either Word for Mac or Text Edit, no matter what I tried. I attempted quitting all applications, cleaning the cache using Suitcase Fusion, and rebooting the computer, but no dice.
You think this is an installation or configuration problem my local Apple store could help fix ... not an underlying incompatibility? If so, I will take it in.
Please know I sincerely appreciate the help. I'm at my rope's end on a project this evening and truly grateful for the reinforcement. Thank you.

How can I Convert a TeamViewer .tvs recording to other video formats?

How can I convert a TeamViewer .tvs recording to other video formats in OSX v 10.9?

This feature does not seem to be implemented in the Mac version.
You'll have to convert the file using TeamViewer on Windows ;(

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.
