I recently shot a video using the camera on the Iphone 3GS. It was over 7 mins long and its 198 MB! This is not a desirable size since i wish to upload it, so i was wondering if anyone can tell me a FREE software which i can use to compress it and maintain the same quality. By the way i am using the 27" Imac so any software should be for mac.
View 3 RepliesI've tried bringing stuff over on CD, but its not really working as its not massively organised like in my PC iTunes, and obviously on the phone. Does anyone know a good ripper, but free? I've searched the forums, and google'd it, but they're all costing, and I've just spent enough money on this damn MacBook Pro!

View 2 Replies View RelatedSo I know in Leopard and probably any OS for Mac's you can compress your files, but is there any way to compress them even more? I had a file that was 321mb's and when I compressed it, it brought it down to 317mb's. Obviously that didn't do me any good. Does anyone have a program or another suggestion?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm using Time Machine (for the first time) to back up my system (Mac Pro w/750Gb internal drive and a firewire 750Gb external backup). However, when looking at the contents of my external backup drive after Time Machine has finished, I notice there is sizeable difference between the amount of data on my internal and external drives. To confuse matters more, I repeated the backup 3 separate times on the same internal volume (357Gb worth of data) and each time Time Machine yielded a different size backup; ranging from 343Gb to 350Gb. Each time I have "erased" the external drive using Disk Utility prior to running Time Machine.
After digging around I found at least some of the difference lies within the Movies_IDVD Projects folder. I have only a few projects but it appears that Time Machine randomly chose a few of the larger ones to compress? Either that or it did not back them up all the way. These files were roughly 2-4Gb in size on my internal and only 200kb on the backup drive. Are there other files that Time Machine is either compressing or not backing up? Should I use Time Machine at all or should I copy the files I want backed up by dragging them to the external? I would like to be able to restore my system to its current state one day if/when my internal drive craps out (including all of my apps, etc.).
So I finally found some applications to change .mkv files to .m4v/.mp4 without taking hours to convert the file itself. The two best ones that I have found are Subler and MKVTools. One problem, though. I can add videos (720p) remuxed from .mkv to .m4v using Subler to iTunes but they won't sync to my iPhone 4. I'm thinking it's because the audio codec in the files is AC3 and iTunes needs AAC. I can't figure out how to do that using Subler. Everything works fine with MKVTools, but it takes at least ten to fifteen minutes longer, which is inconvenient for remuxing several TV show episodes.
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy wife's 2011 iPhoto album is 72GB! Most of this was 720p iPhone 4 video, in 2012 she has a 4s. Is there a good way (Automator perhaps) to import photos into iPhoto but only link video and keep them stored on a NAS? I can archive previous years videos in other iPhoto libraries, but would like to come up with a solution where the last 18 months video takes up less than 30GB so a MacBook Air would be feasible.

I've purchased Tech Tool Pro. The TTP diagnostics have come up with nothing. I use machine at work primarily for video editing/compression/authoring. The kernel panic(s) seem to occur when I'm outputting or compressing video files from Final Cut or Sorenson Squeeze.

View 14 Replies View Related I've recently upgraded to Lion and have found that Quicktime movies and embedded Flash movies won't work. With the embedded flash all I get is a black box, and with quicktime movies, such as the ones on the Apple website, I get nothing - the irony of not being able to watch movies on the Apple site with my Apple iMac gives me a little chuckle.

I've got this feeling inside that says it's something simple but just can't seem to find it.
