Video Compression App Question

So...

I have an 11 minute video of the lil' darlings opening gifts. The video, which is on my iPhone, is too big to send to my Dell computer so I tried to compress it on my video compression app. My compression app says the video is still too long to compress and I would have to cut around 25% out. But that would be 25% of the magic gone and I can't have that.

Anyone know of a solution for this?

 

How are you trying to "send it" to the PC? Email....FTP...iTunes.

Email won't do it. But FTP or syncing with iTunes should have no issue.

 

Downloading it directly onto my computer via cable.

 

Then there is no way other than running out of disk space that it could be an issue.

 

I've had this problem before. When I hook up my iPhone to download pics and vids, if the vid is over ~ 5 minutes, it won't download on the computer. I've been using the compression app for a while, but this 11 minute video I guess is just too big to send (as opposed to receive on the computer).

And I have plenty of hard drive space on the computer.

 

Is there a bunch of fluff at the beginning or end. You could try clipping it off on the phone first to shorten it a bit.

 

There should be no reason you can't get the original video off that phone.

Looks like a known issue. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2434344

Plenty of suggestions in that thread. It's a stupid problem for that device to have. Go Apple.

 

This one sounds simple enough.......


"Hi guys, I've been wondering about this too. It seems like iphone is not designed for recording 15min videos But I found a way to get the video off the phone.
The photos and video files are stored in 'Backup' folder ("C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\ (for win xp)) just before iphone is sync'ed with itunes program. So, after you sync it, find the backup folder, try sorting the files according to size, and find the big files which should be the video files. Then copy them to your folder & rename them to .mov extension.
I've done it just now and it works perfectly."

 

Wonder why Apple hasn't fixed this? Or wants to fix this?

 

Prob because they can fix it can sell a "New groundbreaking innovative" phone. Th Iphone video.

 

JP, keep that video around. I should be able to write something quick that'll let you transfer it.. I'm surprised there's not already something like that.

 

:up:

Will do

 

The dungeon's closed. You know you ain't got nuth'n better to do right now...
