Acceptable file formats - .VOB

I had a friend burn video copies to DVD and the file extension is .VOB There are also a couple of other files with .BUP and .IFO extensions Unfortunately, I can't import into iMovie. Are these files usable in iMovie or is there something I can do to import into a usable format?

Are these files usable in iMovie or is there something I can do to import into a usable format?
DVD video data is converted to MPEG-2 with either PCM or AC3 audio and multiplexed together in the VOB file container as title sets. This "muxed" content is stored as interspersed blocks of audio and video data in single stream which relies on spatial synchronization. QT and all of its applications are based on multiple tracks of data which are synchronized together temporally at the frame level so, "no," they are not usable in iMovie as they are. If you have the QT MPEG-2 Playback component ($20) installed, you could convert the video (but would lose the audio content) using QT conversion work flows already available on your computer. However, MPEG Streamclip (free but also requires the MPEG-2 Playback component) will convert your VOB title sets to single clips (DV, AIC, M-JPEG, Photo-JPEG, MPEG4, H.264, etc.) and retain the audio. If you don't have the required component installed, then you could use iSquint (free) to perform your conversions but will be limited to MPEG4 and H.264 output. FFmpegX (donation-ware) or Visual Hub (pay-ware) are also frequently used converters.

Problem with video support file format VOB (Video Object)

I have created a project with VOB files which premiere pro cs4 supported orginally but after an update from adobe it now suddenly it will not recognize them, marking them in the timeline as 'Media offline'. I have tryed to relink them but I kept running into the same problem - 'File format not supported'. I have checked Premiere pro cs4 help and it states that it does support VOB files which it did orginally. I can not tell if it is a codecs problem or not. Help anyone???

Acceptable File Formats for Applying Transparent Watermarks In Compressor

Hello All,
I'm trying to use a .psd file as a transparent watermark in Compressor, but instead of Compressor seeing the watermark, it only sees a blank white sheet. Question: Do I have to have Photoshop installed on my Mac workstation in order to use a .psd as a watermark? Or is something else going on?
Thanks. Any thoughts on this, most appreciated as always!

What other file formats would people suggest that can work as a transparency?

Accepted file formats or types in iphoto

"The following file could not be imported. (The file is in an unrecognized format)"
I cannot find a list of the file types that iPhoto accepts.. anyone know?

iPhoto does not support pdf's but only image formats such as jpeg, psd, png, gif etc.

Converting a file format

I created a video clip on my Sony Camcorder. The disc shows a folder containing 6 files: 2 BUP files, 2 IFO files and 2 VOB files. When I try to bring the clip into Adobe Premier Elements 11, the files that show up are VIDEO_TS.VOB and VTS_01.VOB. Although I can import them through Add Media, they do not play clean. They have lots of wierdness happening. How can I convert the files to an acceptable file format? And do I have to convert all 6 files? Thanks, Mitch

As I show you in my book, if you put the DVD into your computer's DVD drive and then use Premiere Elements' Add Media/From PC DVD or DVD Camcorder, the program will "rip" the video files from the disc and then set up your project automatically to work with your video as the best settings possible.
I still don't know what processor you have or how much RAM, so I can't say if your computer is adequately powered to edit this type of video. But in my experience, Premiere Elements 11 does a pretty good job with DVD video if you use the Add Media tool to get the video from the disc to your computer.
Also, don't forget to render your timeline (press Enter) whenever you see yellow orange lines along the top of the timeline, above your clips, in Expert view.
I show you more of the basics of this program in my free 8 part Basic Training tutorial series, if you're interested.

New Adobe update does not accept Sony NEX .MTS file format - help?!

I've seen some 'solutions' to this problem but none apply to me. I do not have older versions of Premiere to work with these files and then import into the new Adobe CC 2014. I also tried renaming the file folder with the video files but that does not work for me either - unless there is a step by step process someone can provide so I can see what I am doing wrong.
Main point is this should not happen in the first place - it has never been a problem with Adobe before.
.MTS is a very popular file format - many people use the fs100 and fs700, etc.
ADOBE PLEASE FIX!

What file format(s) does iPod classic accept?

I'm copying my LPs, using a USB turntable and recommended software. I've been saving the tracks to .AIFF format. Interestingly, when imported to iTunes, this format plays back on my MacBook Air and iPhone (5C), but not on my iPod classic. In fact, it renders the iPod inoperable (requiring reset). What file format (e.g. MP3, MP4, etc.) should I use?

From the Technical specifications;
Audio
Frequency response: 20Hz to 20,000Hz
Audio formats supported: AAC (8 to 320 Kbps), Protected AAC (from iTunes Store), HE-AAC, MP3 (8 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3, 4, Audible Enhanced Audio, AAX, and AAX+), Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV
However, if your iPod is having issues with AIFF format, perhaps your software isn't encoding the files correctly. MP3 is a universal format used by all players, so use that. Apple's preferred format is AAC, but not all non-Apple players can play AAC files. Do not use .wav unless you really need to, it creates very large files to which you cannot add artwork.

What's the best choice re video file format in a camera for iDVD production

I currently am using a Sony DSC H1 digital camera which does shoot video in MPEG 1. I use MPEG Streamclip to convert those clips to MPEG 4. The results on my TV screen after processing through iMovie and iDVD are "acceptable" but I will want to upgrade to a good video camera at some point to expand my capabilities. My question is - what video file format should I look for in a camera in order to produce the easiest to work with and best quality result from my iMac?? I am using iMovie HD 5.0.2 and iDVD 5.0.1. Thanks for any suggestions.
iMac G5 20" 1.8 GHz - 400GB HD - 2GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.8) 300 GB & 160GB Ext drives, QT 7.1.3 Pro

that's what the iApps are meant for...
a superior pic quality can be accomplished with socalled 3ccd cameras, as from Panasonic...
HD (=HiDef) offers much more detail/quality, but is (yet) not supported natively to any disk-delivery format (Apple supports the BluRay consortium); external BluRay Burners (=$$$$) come bundled with a special HD-edition of Toast7...

LSMW accept file from logical path?

Dear All,
Can LSMW designs for conversions accept file from logical path?
The requirement is during actual conversion execution -the conversion team can store files anywhere they want, configure logical file names/paths and use our LSMWs without needing program modifications.
Kindly let me know.

Mp3 wont'play on 6111 - file format not supported

hi
i've just uploaded an mp3 file in the gallery of my 6111 phone.
i wanted to use it as ringtone, but when i try to open it, it complains "file format not supported".
the manual says my phone can play mp3 and aac, so what kind of mp3 will it play? i searched through the manual and the internet but i found nothing.
the file i've uploaded is an "ordinary" mp3, size 4,3 MB, bit-rate 192 kbps, stereo, 44,100 kHz and tag Id3 v2.4
maybe the problem could be the bit-rate?or id3 tag?
anyone knows more about it?
thanks everyone

Hi
I recommend formatting the USB memory stick and other devices connected to the TV using the option provided in the TV settings.
Usually such recorded files can be played only on the TV.
Also take a look to user manual page 70.
http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/file/product/manual/5187/55VL900A.pdf
There is a list of supported file formats.
According to the Toshiba User manual following formats are supported:
Avi, mpeg-2 PS, MPEG-2TS, MPEG-2 VOB, mov, mp4, asf

2630 AAC File Format Not Supported!

Hi folks, after much hair pulling, experimenting and googling...
My new 2630 will not play AAC or M4A files. I'm using Nokia Music Manager and have had no problem transfering and playing mp3's (apparently the opposite problem to what most people have!) However, it gives me the option of 'convert to mobile optimised format?'. When I click 'yes', it changes the format to AAC, the file ends with .aac instea of .mp3, I can find the file in my phone, and yet if I try to play it is displays 'File Format Not Supported'. If I then go into details under format it says 'not available' and doesn't list length or copyright the way the mp3 files do.
Seeing as aac files take up half the space I'm really hoping someone can help me out!
Thanks,
Annelise
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Unfortunately the 2630 is a bit too basic to accept formats like AAC.
It's not designed to be used as a music player so it only has a basic feature set and no option to add a memory card.
If you are using mp3's as ringtones you could try reducing the bit rate and setting the file to mono by using another conversion program. Setting it to mono will reduce the file size by nearly 50%.

Best File Format For Online Line Art?

I thought the conventional wisdom was that all line art for the screen should be saved as GIFs, all photographic line art should be saved as JPEGs.
Then PNGs came along and offered an alternative to GIFs.
I've been exploring this because I've been having a problem when exporting line art from Illustrator 8 as a PNG and opening it in Fireworks MX, where it appears washed out.
I did a bit of research among comic strip artists -- the art I'm exporting from Illustrator is a comic strip -- and came up with conflicting results.
Dilbert seems to save black and white line art as GIFs, e.g. http://dilbert.com/comics/dilbert/archive/images/dilbert2008611230313.gif
... But its Sunday colored strips seem to be saved as JPEGs, e.g. http://dilbert.com/comics/dilbert/archive/images/dilbert2008040261966.jpg
Meanwhile Donnesbury seems to save colored comic strips as GIFs, e.g. http://images.ucomics.com/comics/db/2008/db080406.gif
Any thoughts, suggestions?
Thanks.

I assume your line art is drawn as vector art in Illustrator, correct?
As far as I'm concened, the "best file format for online line art" would be .swf, because it would retain its scaleable vector nature, and the Flash Player is most likely embedded in any reasonably recent computer's browser.
But a little simple experimentation would be in order regarding file size. SWF (as exported from Flash, not necessarily AI) is very efficient. But the complexity of the line art could still make a given image require more bandwidth as .swf than as a rasterized version.
The former conventional-wisdom regarding PNG is the old "not supported in older browsers" saw. I see even Firworks's online help still says:
> However, not all web browsers can view PNG graphics.
Personally, I think its way past time to stop cow-towing to outdated browsers and use PNGs anyway. So if it were me, and the nature of my line art required rasterization for online use, I would use PNG for its obvious advantages. But then, my livlihood is not affected by some minority of outdated web viewers not being able to view my PNGs.
I would think that whatever color problems you are having in getting your AI files exported to PNG can be worked out with a little investigation/experimentation. (PNG supports color management profiles, so that alone may be your problem, and may be easily fixed in your workflow.) GIF is by definition limited to a subset of colors. JPEG is by definition a lossy compression format. So there are certainly precise color-accuracy issues with those overused formats, too.
But again, that's just me. What little I do in web graphics that would involve this issue doesn't really affect my livelihood. Lowest-common-denominator compatibility may be more important to you.
> Gilbert seems to...
> Doonsbury seems to...
The two images are very close to the same size (132K & 125K). They both include contone grads. Between JPEG and GIF, I would expect JPEG to more consistently yield acceptable results. Since GIF is limited to an 8-bit lookup table, I would expect aberations such as unwanted banding to be more likely in GIF if the artwork contains many colors and alot of highly-rendered shading.
Since you specify
line art, though, that would rule out contone fills, and you could use GIF with a very small color table.
On the other hand, you do not specify whether you want to use transparency in your line art images. If you do, PNG would be far superior, because it supports true alpha transparency. In a GIF, if you can only make one particular color transparent. So even with line art, if the line art is antialiased at all, you'll have the ugly halos so commonly seen in GIFs when displayed on a wrong-colored background.
The only functional "advantage" that I see in GIF over PNG is its multi-image capability, for quick & dirty frame-by-frame animation. My personal animation efforts focus entirely on Flash/SWF, and use scripted animation whenever possible to avoid frame-by-frame. But I recognize the simplicity convenience of animated GIFs for web banners and those (often-annoying) moving icons and such.

What happened to my "Photoshop JPEG file" format?

On my previous two computers -- a G5 running 10.4, a MacBookPro on 10.5, both using Photoshop CS3 -- I used to have two kinds of JPEG files. One was listed in the Finder as "JPEG file," and that opened in Preview; the other was "Photoshop JPEG file," which would open Photoshop.
On my new setup, a MacMini on 10.7 using Photoshop CS5, there are no Photoshop JPEG files, just plain JPEG files that open in Preview.
I need to get the two formats back, as the difference helped me determine which images I had worked on and aided in my photo workflow. I don't want to change all files to Open With Photoshop in Get Info, as that doesn't solve the problem.
Is this something in the Finder? Photoshop? Preferences? How do I get that functionality back? Thanks.

Filname extensions are already on. Also, I typically save most of my images as jpegs so -- for example -- I can send them off to labs, which usually don't accept straight Photoshop PSD files.
I guess what I need to know is whether the separate "Photoshop JPEG File" format has been removed completely from OS 10.7, or can it be restored. It would be a shame if it's gone, as it was a handy function.

Help needed with File Formats (Save As...)

Somewhere upgrading versions of Photoshop (Mac), some old File Formats have remained. The result is that I cannot properly select a File Format to Save As... except the native PSD format. Others have to be selected by selecting a format below the one on the list, meaning that I cannot select TIFF because there are no formats below this one. (Accepted formats http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WSfd1234e1c4b69f30ea53e41001031ab64-7758a.h tml#WSfd1234e1c4b69f30ea53e41001031ab64-7754a)
I've looked in the Plugins folder and there are no strange file formats there. I checked Library>Application Support>Adobe>Plug-Ins but nothing there. I've tried searching the entire hard drive for Compuserve GIF (one of the offending file formats) but nothing matches.
I give up trying to figure out where some of the problem plugins are located. As you can see from the image below, selecting Multi-Picture Format actually will save it as a jpg. From reading Adobe's formats, I think CompuServe GIF is causing part of the problem. I don't know what other one.
Or it may be that I just need to reset something so all formats are properly recognized. Can anyone help?

Curt,
That is great information. Unfortunately I've already checked the preferences and do not have an additional plugin folder specified.
Suppossedly, according to the information from Adobe, the only place plugins should be loaded is in the Photoshop > Plug-Ins folder, or possibly Library>Application Support>Adobe>Plug-Ins (according to the link you provided). There is nothing there.
When I look at Photoshop > About Plug-ins I see that, for example, there are two (2) versions of CompuServe GIF format. Obviously one is old from a previous install/update, but I cannot find it anywhere. If I could find it, I could remove it. I suspect that is one of the conflicts causing my problem, but I see no way in Preferences to remove a plug-in. The link you gave says to move it outside the folder, but it presupposes you can even find the offending plug-in, which I cannot.

Hi,
Firstly, your country is detemined by several factors, including your phone's regional settings, your SIM card and your NokiaAccount settings, if you used this phone whilst abroad then you may need to check that your regional and account settings are up to date since you have arrived in Canada.
For services like Gigs, you should also ensure that the MixRadio app has access to your phone's GPS location as well as the main location being on in the phone settings. To check this, as well as Location being turned on in the phone settings, in MixRadio itself go to Settings>Location>On:
The concern with favourites may also be related to location, if the music from certain artists is available in Canada but not where the service might think you are, availability of content may vary from region to region.
If all settings in both the phone, your Nokia Account and the MixRadio app are correct, we may have to investigate deeper.
It is impossible to comment on your camera without seeing it, you cold have the phone checked by Nokia Care locally, but of course if it was supplied in Europe it will be covered by the European Limited Warranty which is not valid in Canada.
If this or any post answers your question, please remember to help others by pressing the 'Accept as solution' button.
