Export Movies to iTunes
Function: Converts Quicktime-readable media files into iPod-readable videos.
Author: Ari Bader-Natal
Notes:
Needs to be installed as a Finder Plugin (copy to ~/Library/Workflows/Applications/Finder/ )
Select some movie files, right click on one of them, and select the workflow from the Automator menu. Quicktime Player will each movie, export it to an iPod-friendly video format, import it into your iTunes Library (and Videos playlist), and play it for you. Next time you sync your video-capable iPod, your movies will be viewable on the iPod!
Updates:
(version 1.0.3 16Nov2005, now includes an installer.)
(version 1.0.2 1Nov2005, added error handling for QT and temp folder.)
(version 1.0.1 27Oct2005, increased timeout from 1 to 60 minutes.)
Download
Well, worked like a charm for me… used latest version 1.0.3 MacMini, OS 10.5.2, iTunes 8 Only it took some time, and meddling with the files in finder (like running thumbnail play) interrupted the import But letting it go in its on pace, surely imported as expected, and now plays beautifully on my iPhone… :-) Thanks! /WT …här skiner solen…
