Transferring home videos

Posted:
in iPod + iTunes + AppleTV edited January 2014
The demos do not show transferring home videos from computer to iPhone. Do you think this will be able to be done?

    Thanks, Dave. I see that it works for .mov files. Do I need to convert other movie formats to that or what other kinds of files does it support? Sorry for the newbie iPhone/video iPod question.

    Until the phone is released it's hard to say with any degree of certainty but if it plays in iTunes it should play on the iPhone.... When I say iTunes I really mean 'unaided Quicktime' as in native quicktime without utilizing 3rd party plugins that enable 'normally unsupported video codecs'.



    For example: AVI isn't playable in QT - neither is DiVX or 3iVX or Real or WMV.

    Thanks, David. That helps a lot. I'll be putting my video conversion software to good use.

    From the updated specs page on the iPhone website:



    Video

    Video formats supported: H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; H.264 video, up to 768 Kbps, 320 by 240 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 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, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats



    - - -



    So, it sounds like movies can be made in H.264 format, .mov format, and MPEG-4 video. They way all the above is presented together, video and audio, I think that is it for video -- or am I wrong?
