Xilisoft Video Converter Ultim

Hi,
I have a CL Zen Vision: M 30GB with the latest EU firmware and am using v5.0.60 build 0625 to convert some videos that the Creative Media Toolbox Video Converter will not handle and am wondering if anyone has some tips on the best settings to use.
I am trying to replicate the 3 standard Media Toolbox profiles (Optimum (44Kbps), Good (764Kbps), Best (835Kbps)), but am not bothered whether I encode as AVI (with MP3 sound) or WMV (with WMA sound). However, most of the variations I have tried will not transfer to the Zen.
Other settings I am using by default are:
Video Size: 320x240
Frame Rate: Auto
Aspect Ratio: Auto
Same Quality: False
Zoom: Letterbox
I am extremely computer literate (I work as a SysAdmin), but cannot get my head round CODECs! It never ceases to amaze me that I can have two seemingly identical files encoded with DivX / Xvid and each will give completely different results when attempting to play / convert them.
As further information, I have Windows XP SP3, fully updated and have cleaned my machine as far as I can from any CODEC packs, which were just causing me problems (I have tried the Combined Community CODEC pack, NIMO, XP CODEC pack and K-Lite, as well as the DivX and Xvid installations) so I currently have a (hopefully) clean machine from that point of view.
The only other thing is that I use WMP (I know, I know...) to play files on my PC.
Anyway, any help / advice would be gratefully received!
Cheers,
Charles

I would recommend contacting Wondershare Video Convertor Ultimate 2's online Technical Support to help you remove it. Their website's FAQ's are not much help with that.

Best video to ipod video converter software

What is the best program I can buy for coverting my dvd's and other videos (including recorded tv shows on my dvr) to ipod video? Thanks.

Hopefully in answer to the many posts on “how to get various video formats onto your iPod” I have put together a summary of applications I use. I have tried a few others with varying amounts of success (some of which are free) - I have finally plumped for the software produced by Xilisoft as providing good quality video relatively affordable cost for use withPC’s and numerous MS operating systems. The link below takes you to their site which not only allows you to download trail versions of their software but also has a comprehensive set of tutorials and FAQ's for their iPod video conversion software.
I have regularly used these applications to convert various file formats to iPod friendly video. They are simple to use although frequently processor and RAM hungry:
Use Xilisoft iPod Video Converter if you want to:
[*]Convert various video file formats to MP4
[*]Convert most audio file formats to MP3
[*]Extract audio from video file and save to MP3
[*]Encode several files simultaneously
[*]Pause encoding process to run other CPU time consuming programs at any time
Supported file formats:
Video:
[*]MPEG(mpg, mpeg, dat, vob); WMV; ASF; AVI; QuichTime(mov, qt); MPEG4(mp4); 3GP; DV(dv,
dif); Real Video(rm); Animated GIF(gif - decoding only); Macromedia Flash(swf - decoding
audio only);
Audio:
[*]MPEG Audio(mp2, mp3); WMA; WAV; AU; MPEG4 Audio(m4a); Real Audio(ra); OGG; AAC; Raw
AC3(ac3); NUT Open Container Format(nut);
To convert DVD's to an iPod friendly video format:
Use Xilisoft DVD to iPod V4:
[*]Just pop the DVD in your drive select compression variables (default settings work well) and sit back!
All these products are available on a "try before you buy basis", yes there are applications for XP which are free but and may work just as well but I have converted many hours of video for my iPod without hassle using the Xilisoft products (no I don't work for them!). Check there web site HERE

PQ DVD Converter - No delay on video and audio BUT the video is not that smooth even putting the maximum quility of the output video settings.
Yumb - No delay on video and audio BUT video is damage and can only convert .avi to mp4
Videora - never tried it yet but i read a lot of complain about it so... this is the last one to try..

Mini DVI to Video converter, red tinge

I recently bought a macbook, and so far I'm very satisfied with it (aside from the heat problems, which aren't that bad imo.) A few days ago, I recieved a Mini-DVI to Video converter in the mail to use with my six-year old television. Previously, I had used my dad's aging Dell Latitude to plug into the TV to watch old television shows I have acquired from the internet. It had great quality. However, using the same connection/cable with the macbook has given less than desirable results when it comes to color quality. Where the latitude had great color, the macbook seems to be outputting a very bright, very noticeably red picture. While it doesn't bother me significantly, it's sort of annoying to see everything with a twinge of red.
Now, I have tried calibrating the TV using the built in Mac OS utilities (on expert mode,) however this hasn't fixed the problem--the output is a little darker, but the colors are still off. The TV has had no other problems in the past; everything else that's ever been connected to the TV's S-Video connector has been perfect.
Has anyone else ever had a problem similar to this? Like I said, it's watchable but slightly annoying when the colors are off like that (especially when you compare the macbook's screen to the TV's... The macbook is perfect while the TV has an annoying red tinge.)

Just tried this, in fact its hooked up to my other monitor right now and i do still get the red tinge. The picture is perfect apart from this though. Its nice and sharp and clear.
The colour does indeed come on just fine to begin with but once the monitor has done its auto adjust it drops back to the red. I've played with the display settings, different resolutions etc for both displays and still the same.
The thing is, the mac does seem to be sending the correct signal as the monitor is initially correct. Ill try this with a CRT monitor once my battery is charged and if i can find another VGA cable in ill give that a go too.

Very confused Mini DVI to Video Converter - please help!

I have a iBook G4 that I use as my home ents hub, I purchased a DVI to Video converter which worked well for about a week until one day my Mac started recognising it as a VGA adapter.
When the adapter's plugged in the only options in the displays preferences panel are for VGA resolutions, no PAL or NTSC settings and I get a squiggly black screen on my TV.
The adapter works perfectly well with my friend's identical iBook and on his iMac too.
The mini DVI port on my mac works fine when hooked up to a VGA monitor.
HELP!!!! Until I get this fixed I'm stuck watching Lost on a 12" screen, which *****.

I have the exact same problem. For years my iBook has output happily to the tv via the Mini-VGA -> Composite/SVIDEO adaptor. Suddenly it stopped working and recognizes the adaptor as a VGA-Monitor.
I've tried resetting the PMU, flashing the PRAM and NVRAM, "shoving" the cable into the socket, deleting com.apple.windowserver.plist files...
Please help...

Not sure that I have selected the correct forum. Hope my questions are clearly stated.
Having problems connecting iMac(late 2006) running 10.7.5 to a Samsung Flat Screen TV using separate audio/speaker cable and HDMI standard cable, mini-DVI to HDMI video converter. TV displays generic Apple galaxy background and "some" windows (e.g. screen resolution choices). It does not show Mail or Safari menus. System preferences' display "gathered" the Samsung and chose its resolution. I did not find a way to select the Samsung as my display.
In addition to having old hardware, we have Verizon FIOS providing internet and TV access. Is there any way to make this work for us? We would like to stream video (Netflix) and view shows from the Web. Do we need Apple TV to do this? Or is it not possible with our old iMac? My husband thinks that our Airport could be a factor.
Thank you

Lately, I have been seeing a lot of posts with users trying to use their Macs/iMacs to mirror their streaming video from their Macs to an HDTV.
There are, actually, many alternatives to choose from than just from a Mac.
You need to have or invest in a WiFi capable router for all of these examples.
Apple TV only integrates with WiFi and newer Mac hardware. So, if you want to have total integrated experience, if you have a 2011 Mac or newer, you might as well pay the $100 for the AppleTV box.
If you have a older Mac, like I have noticed many users do, then you have other options.
If you want to elimate long cable clutter and having your Mac at the mercy of your TV all of the time, you can still use the AppleTV box independently or purchase cheaper alternative media streaming boxes from Roku, Sony, Boxee or any number of electronics manufacturers that now have media streaming boxes and media streaming capability built into DVD/Blu-ray players.
These eliminate long cable clutter by being close to the HDTV where shorter, less expensive cables can be used.
Another alternative for iPad users is to use an iPad with the USB/HDMI video adapter and use your iPad as the streaming box. This ties up your iPad in much the same way as it does with your Mac, but again the iPad can be close to the TV and use minimal cables to the TV.
Another alternative to is to use a combination of an iPad and your Mac to stream content that is only available to stream online from a computer. In this case, you can use a desktop remote app on your iPad and Mac. A good and cheap Desktop Remote app is Splashtop Remote. This allows you to completely connect your iPad remotely, over Wifi, to your iMac desktop. The app streams both video and sound to the iPad which is still connected to your HDTV. The resultant stream video picture will be smaller than the size of your HDTV, but it will still be plenty large enough to watch. Again, if you own a iPad and an Intel Mac, this method also allows minimal cabling to the TV.

Video Converter Cable - VGA to Composite Video (RCA and S-Video)

Hi,
I have HP G60-125CA laptop (Windows Vista) and I am trying to transfer laptop image from laptop to TV (regular sony TV not HDTV) using Video Converter Cable - VGA to Composite Video (RCA and S-Video). But for some reason it's not happing.
Please HELP.

I think you need an active converter for this, not just a cable. Try a web search.

Why isn't my high definition video converting to standard definition?

What I'm describing here, I've successfully accomplished many, many times using Premiere Pro CS5 and now Premiere Pro CS6. Now, for the first time ever, it's not working and I'm completely baffled. (This is a high-end Windows 7 64-Bit machine with 16GB RAM running Premiere Pro CS6.)
Here's a basic summary of my workflow. Nothing out of the ordinary here.
1. I shoot my video using a high definition camcorder (the same one I've been working with for the past year or two.
2. I import my high definition video into a 1920x1080 sequence in Premiere Pro CS6.
3. I edit my sequence until I'm happy.
4. I enter and name my Encore chapter markers in the sequence.
5. I create my Encore project and import the sequence as a timeline and set up my menus and such.
6. I build my Encore project, first into a standard definition DVD image file (so I can later burn SD-DVDs) and then build it again into a high definition Blu-ray image file (so I can later burn Blu-rays).
The Blu-ray burn is turning out just fine.
But the video in the DVD burn is all black. I can jump around from chapter to chapter and I can hear the sound, but the video doesn't show up!
I tried this a couple times thinking that maybe Encore just messed up the SD-DVD creation process but I got the same result each time. When I preview the project in Encore, it all looks just right.
So I figured, okay, something's not working when I import the sequence.
I went back to Premiere Pro thinking I'd just export my 1920x1080 sequence into a widescreen standard definition AVI and create a new sequence just for the standard definition DVD.
The exported AVI is black as well!!
I don't get it. Why on earth won't my high definition video convert properly to standard definition?
The high definition sequence looks completely normal in Premiere Pro. What could I possibly be overlooking??
One final note. Just as another test, I copied and pasted the sequence in Premier Pro, truncated it to a couple minutes (the full sequence is 90 minutes long), and exported to a widescreen AVI again.
It just finished, I tried playing it back in Windows, and it, too, is all black, sound but no video.
Like I said, this is nothing new for me. I've done it countless times with other projects. I could really use some assistance with this one.

So I exported my completed high definition sequence to an MP4 and re-imported back into Premiere Pro. Right-clicked it and created a sequence from the clip. Then I imported my chapters from the old sequence into the new one.
I returned to Encore, modified my project to work off the newly created sequence (what a pain having to recreate all the scene links) and voila, it had no trouble making a DVD this time.
So I guess I'll get out of the bad habit of my old routine and create a sequence the "right" way from now on. Funny how we get used to doing something one way and stop thinking outside the box after a while.
Jim, I don't see how that's necessary. As long as I create an Encore project based on a good high definition sequence, I have never had to do anything other than have Encore build a standard definition DVD based on the high definition sequences. It has always done the conversion for me and produced really good DVDs. Once I create a DVD image that I'm satisfied with, I simply have Encore build a Blu-ray image using the exact same project, and that works perfectly as well. I suppose I may be missing something here but it all works and works well, so I don't see a reason to create two projects when one works well.
On a separate note, is it just me or doesn't everybody think it's high time that Adobe offer a feature to import markers from one sequence into another. I can do it automatically but I have to use a macro that I created separate and apart from Premiere Pro. For that matter, I think Encore should also offer a feature to remap all scene links to a new sequence instead of forcing me to fix them one by one myself.
Anyway, thanks to all of you for pointing me in the right direction!

PQ DVD to ipod Video Converter

hi i have downloaded a free version of PQ DVD to iPod video converter and it seems ok and i was wanted to know if anyone else had it so that i could use the registry code to save me money. I would greatly appreciate this code

Sounds to me like you're asking for someone else's purchased registration code.
Using one code for 2 copies of software is illegal.
Purchase your own code.

Free video converter?

Hey
I am looking for a free video converter for my mac so I can convert DVD, AVI, MPEG, MPG, QT to iPod Touch format, I believe it is MP4... Can anyone help me?
Best regards
Jesper

Hey,
I would try http://www.zamzar.com It is a website that allows you to upload your files, give an email address, and minutes-hours later, they email you a link for you to download your file in the new format. It also works for such things as downloading web based videos (like YouTube videos). I hope this answers your needs,
