Q: Convert Movies within Photos
Hello all :-)
I have the following problem, where I need a practicable solution:
- I have about 500+ movies in Photos spread over many different moments/albums, collected over years
- Thumbnails of the movies are shown but when I click them, photos can’t play them because the codec is not supported any longer (divx)
- Previously in iPhoto with QuickTime7 and the Perian-Plugin this was no problem
Goal:
- I want to convert all the movies to a current common format (e. g. H264, MP4)
- But I do NOT want just to export all movies and then reimport, because than I will need month to reorganize them to the correct Album, Moment etc., and maybe the timestamp etc. pp is lost…
- Is there any solution for this problem, maybe by using an AppleScript and processing the subfolders in the Photos-Lib directly?
Thank you.
Kind Regards, mack
