Re: Secrets for iPod Video - maybe QT Pro can 'pass through' - worked for 3gp




hi AJ:

Dunno if this might work...

I had created Motorola-legal video with MPEG Streamclip, but the phone wouldn't play the file simply by my tacking on a .3gp file extension.

By opening the .m4v file (created in MPEG Streamclip) in QT Pro, choosing 3gp output from the pop-up menu and setting both the video and audio codecs to 'pass through,' the phone recognised and played the same content just fine.

Seems to me that the 'wrapper' of the file thereby became .3gp - legitimized, as simply renaming the file didn't.

Perhaps it works the same way with video for the iPod... there seems no way to choose 'pass through' as codecs ( in fact no options at all as I'm sure y'all have disgust (sic) ), but perhaps QTP is smart enough not to re-encode the movie if the encoding is already to iPod spec ?

... might be worth trying . . .

Hal

(thanks too folks, for Motorola help)

Does anybody have any way to make video for iPod other that using default "Movie to iPod"?

Any suggestions on what to look for?
