Videos not working in OS X Lion / iTunes 10.4

[Niklas]

All my videos that were converted with earlier versions of iFlicks,
that is before 1.4.0, doesn't work in OS X Lion / iTunes 10.4. The
image freezes after a second or so with the sound still running.

Videos converted with 1.4.0 work fine.

All videos have been converted using the "iTunes compatible" preset.

[Björn]

I have no issues at all, 99% of my videos have been handled with a version of iFlicks prior to 1.4.

…and I run Lion.

And you have only used iFlicks?

[Björn]

Correct.

MKV -> iFlicks 1.3.x (iTunes Compatible) -> Fully working m4v-file on the ATV2

just to add my two cents....
AVI's and MKV's are playing and working fine on ATV1 & 2 as well as in iTunes.
Maybe something got corrupted in your update.
I would try uninstalling iflicks and reinstalling...
There is a pref file somewhere that you can save to your
desktop (if you wish) that would save all your prefs as well as any rules you may have created....

[Niklas]

Well, I don't have any problem with iFlicks 1.4.0. All conversions
made with it work just fine under Lion.

It's all the movies I converted before 1.4.0 that doesn't work, which
is like 95% of my library.

And, yes, I have updated Perian and set iTunes in 32 bit mode.

[Björn]

I have not made any updates to Perian since the Lion-installation and I run iTunes in 64-bit mode.

Same Here, but i think the problem is the iTunes 10.4 (cocoa). That
appeared after that specific update. Even in lion before 10.4 it was
playing fine in iTunes 10.3. And it's a surround issue because same
movies don't play at all and same plays just the video.
All of those (+700) was converted using old versions of iFlicks.

[Niklas]

Okay.

Let's see if I get this right.

Right now I have movies in my iTunes (Lion/10.4 running in 32 bit
mode) library that have been converted with both iFlicks 1.2.3 and
1.4.0/1.4.1, all using the Flatten to Quicktime/iTunes Compatible
preset.

The 1.2.3 movies doesn't work in iTunes anymore, they freeze after one
second with the audio running in the background. BUT they work fine on
my hacked ATV1.

The 1.4.0/1.4.1 movies work fine in iTunes BUT can't be synced with my
hacked ATV1.

So.

What do I do?

[Jendrik Bertram]

Encode your videos properly. If you modify videos especially for a hacked device, it is bound to break somewhere/sometime.

[Robin]

I have the same problem. Unfortunately once you have modified the
movies with 1.2.3 for hacked ATV1 there's no way to undo that
modification so that the videos will work on ATV2. It would be nice if
1.4.0/1.4.1 had a function that removed the modification so that the
videos can be encoded properly for ATV2, but it doesn't. Instead
you'll probably have to redownload/rerip all of those video files and
start again with 1.4.0/1.4.1.

I don't remember seeing a disclaimer in 1.2.3 (and previous) stating
that the hacking modification was irreversible, even with future
versions of iflicks.
