Good day! Is there an option to extract videos from an .iba file created using iBooks Author?
iBook
If it's your book, don't you have the original assets used to make it?
An .iba file is just a zip - make a copy, change the suffix, choose to unpack, then drill down inside.
It's a client's file. We're both a "newbie" when it comes to MACs.
Will try that zip trick. Thanks K!
Oh wow! It worked! I just renamed the extension to .zip! Can I hug and kiss you K?! lol. Just kidding.
Thanks a lot man! Have a good one.
Although the author might have the original video, iBA's video optimizer has likely changed it and not always for the better. Investigating this kind of issue requires being able to unzip the *.ibooks file (I use "The Unarchiver" which does this well) in order to understand what the video optimizer has done. Very often, one will find an unnecessary increase in bit rate and consequent increase in file size.
Good question. People should always bear in mind that some questions are about circumstances they may not have encountered.
How to extract/get video(s) from an .iba file?
