Wrong video format!

I have converted a VOB file to a QuickTime MOV file which plays fine in QuickTime and iTunes, however it will not sync or stream to my ATVs saying it is the wrong video format. I can convert it to MP4 via Handbrake and the resulting file will sync but the quality is not good. Can anyone explain why the MOV file will not work and how I can correct it without degrading the quality?

mov is not a format it's just a container much like avi are just containers
why your handbake convert is poor quality is most likely because
1. you set the quality settings wrong in handbrake
2. you're trying to play something which is higher res then the 720P the atv process video at

I recored a video with my ipad, downloaded it to my mac but I cant upload it to Youtube because the format IMG is not a video format. How can I convert it?

How can I convert a video I took with my ipad on the format IMG to a supported format for Youtube?

To upload videos to YouTube we have to make sure videos are in a format that YouTube accepts. Here’s the list of some well-known video formats which YouTube supports:
WebM files (Vp8 video codec and Vorbis Audio codec)
MPEG4, 3GPP and MOV files – (typically supporting h264 and mpeg4 video codecs and AAC audio codec)
AVI (Many cameras output this format – typically the video codec is MJPEG and audio is PCM)
MPEGPS (Typically supporting MPEG2 video codec and MP2 audio)
WMV)
FLV (Adobe – FLV1 video codec, MP3 audio)
But I think you get the wrong video file. iPad recorded video files are in m4v, mp4, mov, avi format but not the img files. Anyway, if you need a video converter, Format factory or iFunia video converter are good choice.
Good luck!

Video format supported - Nokia N95

Hi,
Maybe I can be wrong, but I think that I have moved a MPEG video into Nokia N95 and it worked fine. However, I tried to do the same thing with another video file (mpeg) and it didnt work, Nokia N95 didnt recognize the file. I dont know if the reason was the lenght of the file 40mb.
I have some questions about it:
1) Which video format is supported on N95?
2) Is there a way to use any format (AVI, MPEG,..) without converting it?
Thanks.

Hi brjohnsmith
Unfortunately you are going to need to use a converter although there is a wide choice and you may find this post by el_loco whom is an authority on the subject of use:

Just one example of software available with which you can drag'n'drop YouTube files for example is Mobiola Studio:

ok，the FLV and F4V contents.
And what is the problem:
com.adobe.flashaccess.core.media.FormatException: Content contains an unsupported video format
Because i used FLV video to package, but it seems something wrong.

Possibility to assign a color profile in the color management tab for more video formats

Presently, in After Effects CS5, in the color management tab of the "Interpret Footage" dialog box the possibility to assign a color profile to footage is grayed out for many video formats.
Formats that allow to assign a color profile include Quicktime/JPEG2000, Quicktime/Motion JPEG A, Quicktime/Motion JPEG B, Quicktime/MPEG-4, Quicktime/Animation as well as various image sequences, like tiff-sequences. (Motion JPEG A,B and Quicktime/MPEG-4 are not very helpful in this context because they have a small color shift when reimported to After Effects.)
Formats that do not allow to assign a color profile include Quicktime/PhotoJPEG, Quicktime/H264, H264 main concept, DVCPRO HD 1080p30, F4V. (Here, H264 main concept has anyway the disadvantage that it has a color shift when reimported into After Effects.)
In After Effects CS4 it was possible to assign a color profile to Quicktime/H264, Quicktime/PhotoJPEG, DVCPRO HD 1080p30, but in CS5 this is no longer possible.
Those video formats that do not allow to assign a color profile automatically are interpreted as having the color profile HDTV (Rec. 709) Y'CbCr in case that the videos have 1920x1080 format; similar applies to PAL formats which get SDTV (Rec. 709) Y'CbCr color profile.
(I did not find anything of this automatic assignment to HDTV or SDTV color profile in the "interpretation rules.txt" file, therefore it must be written into the programme itself.)
With growing popularity of wide gamut monitors it becomes necessary to produce footage and other videos that have a color profile different from HDTV or sRGB. When such footage is reimported to After Effects it has the wrong color and the only workarounds are either to use (in After Effects) the effect "Color profile converter" which necessitates extra render time or to use somewhat unpopular formats, like JPEG2000 that has very large filesize.
Presently many footage is produced in Quicktime/PhotoJPEG and therefore it would be very desirable to allow to assign a color profile to such footage in the color management tab of the "Interpret Footage" dialog box.
Does anyone know why in AE CS5 the video formats Quicktime/PhotoJPEG and Quicktime/H264 do not allow to have an arbitrary color profile assigned (although it was possible in CS4), is it a bug, or does it have a deeper reason.
In this context I have a related question, often I read that Quicktime videos have a gamma tag. Does this mean that part of the color profile (the gamma value) is actually embedded/remembered, like you have it for images where the gamma is part the embedded color profile.
I use AE CS5 on Mac Pro 2009 with OS 10.6.7.
Thanks,
Volker

Thank you Rick for this interesting explanations and the links to articles.
In the past few days I performed a few tests in After Effects and it is interesting that you mention that cameras, like the Sony EX3, allow videos to have embedded color profiles. I am not working myself with cameras but either get footage from the internet or sometimes videos from our video department which produces videos with professional SONY cameras, usually I get them in a matrox mxf format.
As far as my test with After Effects show it is not possible to embed color profiles in the videos rendered with After Effects. Independent of the color profile in the working space and independent from the color profile in the output module I always get the same reaction if I reimport videos rendered by After Effects back to After Effects:
In AE CS5 videos made in the formats Quicktime/PhotoJPEG, Quicktime/H264, H264 main concept, DVCPRO HD 1080p30, F4V are always interpreted as color profile SDTV/HDTV (Rec. 709) Y'CbCr (even if I made them in other color profiles, such as Adobe RGB, Photo RGB, sRGB); and there is no possibility to change this interpretation rule.
In contrast videos made in the formats Quicktime/JPEG2000, Quicktime/Motion JPEG A, Quicktime/Motion JPEG B, Quicktime/MPEG-4, Quicktime/Animation are always interpreted as sRGB (even if if I made them in other color profiles, such as Adobe RGB, Photo RGB, HDTV); only this time I can change the interpretation rule. Therefore if I know for example that if I had selected Photo RGB in the Output module I can change after the reimport the interpretation rule from sRGB to Photo RGB and only then I get again the original colors.
The only exceptions are picture sequences, such as tiff-sequences, where the original color profile is automatically selected in the interpretation of the footage.
Therefore, unfortunately for videos produced by After Effects your advice "If it says something like sRGB and you can change it, in most cases you shouldn't change it because the guess is probably right. If there is no color profile assigned then you should assume that is correct." is not so easy to be applied. You have to know how you did it originally in the Output module and hope that you can change it to the proper color profile, in case that the original color profile in the Output module was different from sRGB and HDTV/SDTV. But it is interesting to hear from you that with cameras there seem to be more possibilities.
For this reason it would be nice if in future versions of After Effects one could change the color profile in the the color management tab of the "Interpret Footage" dialog box also for formats such as Quicktime/PhotoJPEG, Quicktime/H264, H264 main concept, DVCPRO HD 1080p30, F4V.
Of course one can always circumvent shortcomings by using tiff-sequences, QT/jpeg2000, or QT/Animation as formats for storing, which is anyway better for lossless or nearly lossless storing, but the files are then too large and also cannot be played easily with a player.

Iphoto video format

Can mp4 video format be loaded into iMovie and if so how? My son shot a bunch of video on his old Go Pro Hero. I have it on a thumb drive. It's in mp4 format. I tried to import it into iMovie. It says its unrecognizable. That doesn't make sense. I also tried to just drag and drop. No go. What am I doing wrong?

How about some information on what you've got and what you're doing so we have something to work with? What version of iPhoto, what camera, what video format, do you have Quicktime Player 7 installed, etc?

IPhone 4S video format - can I change it now?

Hi Community ,
I shot some really funny vision of my dog on my iPhone 4S. I dragged it into the timeline of a video editing program which informed me that it's NTSC (30fps) format, not PAL. I really need it at 25fps. Is there a way to convert it to 25fps or am I stuck with it now at the wrong format?
I'd like to submit the vision to funniest home video (Australia) but they won't accept NTSC format.
Thanks so much for your help,
Debbie

Hi Debbie, I read up a bit on these video formats and from what I gather there are no freeware converters that are reliable. Mac OS X doesn't seem to have a native utility that could address this either. You may even have to look for some shareware softwares unfortunately. Please exercise caution whenever you download software of this nature from a 3rd party.

Video format on iPhone, wont sync my converted videos..

Hi ,
Could someone please tell me what format/screen ratio/fps etc is accepted on the iphone? I recently aquired a software "Magic Video Converter", I am using the default "ipod" setting which is in the software. Moved everything to itunes and followed the normal method of synching, however I get the message " this video type cannot be played on this iphone".
I am just trying to figure out where I went wrong and what setting I should change.
As it stands, it is converting it using H264 codec, audio is aac, dimension is 368x208 and aspect ratio is set to auto. Frame rate is also set to auto.
The output is in mp4 format.
any advice would be appreciated. & what screen size is best for iphone?
thanks.

Does this software also include a default iPhone selection?

Video format and another question

I saw someone else ask what video format photos for iOS supports but i had a couple of extra questions so didn't want to hijack his.
I've been using aperture for years but my library was really messy, i'm loving photos overall so far as i hardly used the features in aperture and the interface looked a bit dated. Sharing photos was also a bit of a nightmare compared to the new photos app.
Anyway instead of importing the whole aperture library, which i didn't want to do as it was messy, i decided to start fresh with a new photos library and just copy/drag the photos over from my aperture albums/folders. Firstly, am I right in assuming when i do this, it will actually hardcopy the photo over into the photos library and not just a link or a soft copy from aperture? Therefore i can delete the aperture library once all photos are copied over and i will still have all the original photos in the new app? Just to note, i didn't use referenced files in aperture.
Secondly, unless I'm being really stupid, none of my older videos taken on IPHONES seem to copy over, even from just last year using an iPhone 5. the format seems to be .MOV.
Now, SURELY, apple are not going to release an photos app that DOESN"T support the importing of videos taken on their own phones from just a few months ago?

Hi. Your understanding of how the copies from your old library are not quite correct, but the bottom line is you would be able to delete your old Aperture library afterwards (or at some point, which might be a wiser approach). I used iPhoto not Aperture so I'm not sure if it's the same but take note of what you are actually exporting so you keep any GPS, date, keyword information etc. etc. you might have added.
Some have encountered this movie issue and found that simply exporting it to the desktop before adding it to Photos is enough, others have found the export to the desktop works but not the import into Photos and have had to use Quicktime to export it again to an Apple Device compatible format. Clearly the videos should be supported, I don't believe Apple have decided not to but rather that something has/is going wrong.

Video Format incorrectly display, strange stuff

Hello,
I have a Mac Mini with a Matshita DVD-R UJ-845 Firmware: D8PB / MMC-3
I've been toasting DVDs in NTSC on my Mac Mini, when I open the DVD player and get disc info it reads Video Format: NTSC, BUT...
But my TV-DVD player on my NTSC TV says it is the "cannot play, wrong system". So I double checked the DVD disc on my PowerBook Al 12" PPC G4 1.5ghz and it's DVD player is saying that the video format is PAL!!! It's 2 machines against my macMini.
I'm wondering how this can be? And how can I fix it so my MacMini correctly identifies the correct format??
Thanks,
A.S.

For the Quicktime issue try:
[Perian codecs for Quicktime|http://www.perian.org] - plugins to add functionality to Quicktime for playing additional audio and video formats
[Quicktime audio problems, Perian, VLC|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9013669] - read note about uninstalling prior DIVX support before installing Perian.
I'm not sure if this works with iTunes. I don't use itunes to watch video, I use [VLC media player|http://www.videolan.org/vlc> - general media player that plays just about anything.

Looking for help with converting a ppsx file to a video format such as .mov or mp4

Hi All, I am looking for conversion software that will allow me to convert a ppsx file to a video file on OS10.5.8.

Hi Klaus1, Thanks for your response. I can open and view the file without difficulty. My issue is getting into a video format that I can upload to a Website for client viewing. All the conersion products I can find are for a newer OS then 10.5.8. I am working on a deadline of midnight tonight-and cannot upgrade that quickly. So What I need is a conversion program that will still run on my OS

Error message of "video format not supported" for ATV1 for files from iTunes

I have an ATV first generation, I had to redo my windows profile and now ATV is not syncing all my movies from iTunes. It says that ATV does not support the video format from movies I downloaded from Itunes.

I've had this happen with a whole bunch of files over time. Usually it's a disk timeout - it just took too long for iTunes to start streaming the file to the Apple TV. Sometimes it's that the file has been moved/deleted/'lost' as Alley_Cat describes. Sometimes I think that the file has too high a bit rate to play on the old Apple TV or the audio isn't suitable for it.

ITunes error message - "video format is not supported by the iPad" My video is mp4, mpeg-4.

When syncing my iPad 2.... Why do I get this iTunes error message? "video format is not supported by the iPad"
My video is mp4, another is mpeg-4.
I thought the iPad 2 could play almost any format.

Must conform to these specs:
Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
Or download an alternate video player,such as avplayerhd.

Satellite U300 connected to TV - Non supported video format

I am using Toshiba Satellite U300-15q and it has a vga output so i bought a cable and a box that transfers te analogue signal of vga to digital of hdmi so that i can connect it to my 32' TV Sony make.
But if i connect it it says on the tv in yellow letters non supported video format.
Why is that and how can i fix it ?

In the whole story problem is that you use third part hardware or software so this described issue has nothing to do with your Toshiba notebook or Toshiba in general.
On notebooks side is important that video signal is sent on proper way. What happen later and why this signal is not transformed correctly is matter of this box.
Which box do you use?
In my opinion you should contact manufacturer of this box and their support. They should know how it works and how to fix this.
Generally speaking, Toshiba has nothing to do with this problem.

Mac Mini G4 Unsupported Video Format DVI to HDMI 42 Phillips 1080P LCD TV

When connecting my Mac Mini G4 to my 42" Phillips 1080P LCD TV using a DVI to HDMI cable I get a message on the TV "Unsupported Video Format" message. I can connect my PowerBook G4 using the same cable and it connects great.
One thing I have noticed is when connecting my Mini via DVI cable to my 17" LCD monitor the screen is a fated red. But using a VGA cable the screen is fine. I don't know if this is having to do anything with the issue of connecting to my LCD TV.
Any suggestions?

Make sure the connections are good and tighten down the thumb screws on all connectors. If two monitors are giving problems with DVI, it could be there is a hardware problem with the DVI port on the mini.
Also, try starting in Safe mode (boot while holding down the shift key) and see if you get a useable screen in that case. If you still get the unsupported video format message, then that would further suggest some hardware problem with DVI.

Wrong video format!
