How to save Flip video files to external hard drive (and need new vid camera rec)?

I am trying to back up my Flip videos from my MacBook OS X 10.5.8 on to my external hard drive. They will not drop & drag directly from the flipshare software and I did locate all the mp4 files in my finder under "All Videos" where I think I can copy them over but they are not organized by title or anything and I only want to back up the clips I've edited and the movies I've created, not all the raw footage.
I'm wondering if I'm going to have to import all of these files into iMovie in order to do this in a way that will be helpful? that seems like it will take forever since *I think* you have to do them one at a time and I have almost 2 years of footage of my kids...Is there a quick way to import video into iMovie?
Side bar, anyone know of a good video camera that is small & easy like Flip but not part of a phone? My flip has died & since Cisco is abandoning the brand, I need something new.
Thank you!

Capturing Flip Video to Final Cut Express Will not launch Flip Video

I have done this many times before. I am using Final Cut Express and I am plugging my Flip Video camera into my MacBook Pro and the Flip Video software does not launch. It does not seem to be the
Flip Video software that is the problem. I have upgraded the Flip Video software. The prompt I get says Flip Video quit unexpectely. I have no idea what is going on. I get a huge log of computer terms which I do not understand. Any ideas? Wish I knew more.
Here is a screen shot of what I am getting after I attempt to open Flip Video Share Capture etc./Users/Tim/Desktop/Screen shot 2010-08-04 at 11.36.11 PM.png

The problem is with your Flip Video software. It is launching but then crashing - that's what the message means:
The prompt I get says Flip Video quit unexpectely.
"Quit Unexpectedly" is a nice way to say "Crashed".
You could try trash the Flip Software.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards.)
*What's the plist file?*
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.
If that doesn't help you need to contact the makers of the Flip software.

Can't play video in iWeb

I've created my site and compressed my video for iWeb in iMovie HD6. But for some reason, the video won't play when I visit the site. Any ideas? FYI, you can see the page here:
http://web.mac.com/aubreysinger/iWeb/TheTrip/cinematique.html

Aubrey,
I was thinking more about your question...perhaps you were asking about your movie playing automatically when visiting you page, no? If you would like to enable autostarting of QT movies, it's going to require some editing of some of the "autostart" values from "false" to "true". The method is detailed in this tutorial article by our very own mwong. I have provided a link here...scan down to the window entitled "iWeb 1.1(.1) Update" for the latest info on the .js files which you will need to update for autostart.

Squashed Flash Video in iWeb

This is a stumper and I could really use a freah perspective on it.
I have been trying to get a Flash movie on my iWeb site bu using the instructions on the iWebUnlimited site here...
http://iwebunlimited.com/iweb-tips/iweb-tip-9-flash-video-in-iweb-jw-player/
The problem I have is that when I publish my changes in iWeb and point my browser to the page the movie is on, the movie plays as a litttle squashed box in the middle of the player. Let me explain...
I followed the instructions on the iWebUnlimited site to the letter. I have downloaded the .swf and .js files, placed them in a folder called "flash" on my iDisk as well as my .flv movie file and a screengrab of the same size.
I have changed all the parameters in the HTML code to point to my iDisk and the relavent files.
I have changed the video dimensions to that of my newly encoded .flv video (640 x 352 - in ffmpegx)
When I go to my movie page in my browser, I see the still shot I took as a place marker in the right dimensions. Yet when I play the movie, although the player is the size I requested - 640 x 352 - the actual movie plays inside it as a squashed box. Take a look at the screenshot below to see what I mean.
The video should fill the black areas, but whatever I do this is the result...
Here is the info on the flash video I uploaded to my iDisk and how is should look...
And here is the HTML code with the same dimensions input in iWeb before I published. I have changed my username back to "username" for this screenshot FYI...
The weird thing is - I uploaded a flash movie a couple of years ago to the same page and it plays ok - looks fine. Shame I can't remember how the **** I did it! I wondered if having 2 flash movies on the same page were causing the problem, so I deleted the old one.
Same result.
I created a new fresh movie page and tried that - same result again.
I thought that maybe each movie needed it's own set of .swf and .js files as the 2 movies are of different dimensions, each player would need to be different dimensions also....?
So I even added another set of .swf and .js files. I tried copying the 2 sets of movie files to individual folders, but iWeb didn't see them at all - it only seems to see them is they are in a folder called "flash" in my "Web >Sites" folders on my iDisk.
I was wondering even if it was down to the encoding of the video, which I did in ffmpegx. I did have to do it in a roundabout way...
In Final Cut Pro I exported a full quality QT movie - ProRes422 1280 x 720 that turned out at 5.32 GB and 12 mins 5 secs in duration.
This is not recognised by ffmgegx, looks like the ProRes codec has it confused.
So I put it into Compressor and re-encoded it as a H.264 movie 1280 x 720 that turned out at 1.72 GB.
When I put this into ffmgegx it encoded just fine, but stopped after 7 mins and 7 secs.
I tried a hundred different ways but it always stopped at 7m7s...
So I eventually dropped it onto a droplet I downloaded somewhere to convert videos for Vimeo HD - 1280 x 720. I dropped this into ffmpegx and Hey Presto - it worked!
So I now have my full length .flv movie at my 640 x 352 on my iDisk with iWeb pointing at it and the correct dimensions input in the HTML code, and it STILL comes out squashed....
if anyone has a clus what is causing this or what I am doing wrong, I will be forever in your debt!
I know this is an epic mail, but I wanted to give all the info I can......

If you are using a SWF or FLV you don't need to use the JW player assets. Just reference the file in an iFrame code....
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/Flash-SWF-FLV.html
Adjust the dimensions of the frame to fit the movie and control bar if necessary.
This page shows the JW using the embed code and the javascript version...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/JW-Media-Player.html
If you want to us the JW player using the javascript shown on the iWeb unlimited site, you need to adjust the player frame dimensions to suit the control bar position that you specified. I notice that this website doesn't mention the fact that the control bar position can be changed - normally "bottom" or "over". If you set the control bar to "bottom", the frame height needs to be increased. Also the javascript shown is not the latest one where you can specify all the custom options.
If you use the javascript that I employed for the second example on the iWeb for Musicians site, you can do a lot of customizing and specify flash with fallback to HTML5 or vice versa.

Small Flip video AVI files - can preview in Organizer but not Elements

Hi all,
I just spent $110 to buy Adobe Premiere Elements 9. I installed it to my Dell Vostro 1520 Intel Dual Core 2.2 GHz, running Windows 7 Pro.
I have a few small (5-10 seconds each) Flip video .AVI files (standard definition) to use for learning.
To learn, I brought the little .AVI files into Adobe Organizer, and can now double-click on each thumbnail and see the video play clearly, no problem, in the Organizer preview window. All well and good!
Next I created a new Project in Premier Elements, and used the Add Media button to reference the same little .AVI files. But when I attempt to preview them in Premier Elements by double-clicking on a thumbnail, I instead see a green/teal-colored rectangle where the video should show in the preview window, although I can hear the audio fine.
Can anybody help me? Any thoughts or ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Meomoto

Steve --
I have Windows Live Movie Maker. It offers many of the same features as Adobe Premiere Elements 9, but not all of them. For example Premiere Elements 9 offers Picture-in-Picture, nicer titling features, etc., etc. That's why I've just shelled out $110 to buy Premiere Elements 9 (whereas Windows Live Movie Maker is totally free if you have Windows 7 Pro).
Windows Live Movie Maker is a PC-based video editing program, and it does not require and does not use use Apple Quicktime.
So I don't understand why you say Quicktime is a necessity.
But I do appreciate your reply and your thoughts.
I'm still looking for someone who has successfully used Adobe Premiere Elements 9 to edit Flip Ultra (standard definition) .AVI files.
Thanks.

Flip video & Zen Video

I have a flip video cam that i record some stuff on and I'm trying to put those videos on the ZEN. Every format I have tried doesn't work. Flip video captures in AVI. I'm not sure if its compressed or uncompressed, I'm a newb in this. I have tried the video converter than to open up Creative Centrale and it won't even open the videos. Only VLC is working to play them back. Anyone done this sucessful or know a free program that will work for sure? Please help. Thank you

there are free video converters on the internet if you are searching for one. i'm not sure if i could mention this or what (sorry to the mods; just tell me if it's not okay) but i used to have Super Converter. you can google it. it converts different types of video and audio.. and it's free.

When uploading videos to iWeb, the video screen gets cut off at the top. It only happens in Firefox, but not in Safari.

When uploading videos to iWeb, the video screen gets cut off at the top. It only happens in Firefox, but not in Safari. Has anybody else had this problem?

I'm using pure HTML5 for mobile websites although you need to provide an OGG file for Firefox. See the movie page on this site...
http://mobile.ezmacwebdesign.com/
If you don't have an iPhone, grab the browser handle and drag it to the left to reduce the width to see how it responds to mobile devices' fixed width browsers .
This will play in all modern browsers and on mobile devices. You can use QuickTime Pro for the OGG or OGV conversion or get the freeware Miro Video Converter...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/Easy-Movie-Player.html
If you only want to upload an MP4, you can use a flash fallback player and this will cover Firefox and those geriatrics that still use older versions of Internet Explorer....

http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/Fallback-To-Flash.html
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/JW-Media-Player.html
If you use any of the four fallback players above, take advantage of the fact that you can add a poster image and stop the video file from preloading. This makes for a faster page download time.
You can also achieve this using HTML5 by adding preload="none" and poster="URL to the poster image" into the code shown on this page...

I can't get my flip video to download to iPhoto?

I cant get my flip video to download to iphoto. When I plug it into the USB it reads the info like it there but I cant view the video? Any suggestions?

I meant skipping iPhoto to start with, so when you get that message close out of iPhoto and look on the desktop and see if the icon is there for the camera. Then dig in and find the videos and drag one to the iPhoto icon in the Dock, thereby relaunching it. Might not work - you might get the same error message. If so, try dragging a movie onto the desktop and changing the name to .MOV instead of .AVI and dropping that onto iPhoto.

Inserting MobileMe Videos into IWeb

I have three questions about inserting MobileMe Videos into iweb.
1) I used the "insert from MobileMe" command in iWeb and it allows me to insert a video but I can't change the size of the video. Do you know how I can change the size.
2) I have some movies I have uploaded to the gallery via iMovie and some I uploaded via the mobileme site. The ones via iMovie I can easily insert like I mentioned in Q1 but the others I uploaded are put into an album and iWeb doesn't allow me to select the video I want to insert. It only allows me to insert the whole album which is a small box with links to the album. I want to choose the video to insert into the page. Any ideas How?
3) Is there a way to insert the video from mobileme using the Html Snippet? If so, how?
Thanks
Neil

You can use the [OBJECT/EMBED|http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/special/object.html] code for inserting media in a page.
When you know the location of the movie you can create a path to it.

Flip Video conversion to DVD

This seems like it should be easy but apparently it is not. I made a short video on a Flip Video camera. The format is .avi. I want to burn it to a DVD and play it on my DVD player. I tried doing that and the DVD player would not play it -- incompatible format. Any idea what I need to do?
(I've worked quite a bit with audio, but as you can probably tell, I am inexperienced with video.)

I just recently got a Flip Ultra HD & have created a few dvd's of video taken with it by importing the video from iPhoto (have to change the image capture setttings for the Flip) into iMovie & then creating a dvd from there ... the dvd's have been perfect & play in a regular dvd player as well as on a Windows computer.

Blank Video to .Mac using Flip Video AVI

Imported video clips from my flip video camera just fine. Manipulated the clips in iMovie. But when I published it to .mac all you can see are the transitions and opening text. You can can the song I put in the background and I think you can hear the sound from the video, but no video images can be seen. Any ideas?

Video content that imports to iMovie '08/edits in a normal fashion but exports as a "screen" is normally in the Apple Animation (or Apple Video) compression format. Check the QT Player "Inspector" window with the clip loaded to determine the actual format in your case. The is a well known "bug" that has been present since iMovie '08 was initially released. The solution to the problem is to convert the video to one of the fully compatible compression formats -- e.g., DV, AIC, M_JPEG, Photo-JPEG, MPEG-4, or H.264.
How can I export to show at a conference from a PC?
By ensuring your source file is in an iMovie '08 fully compatible compression format.

I need to move some flip videos to external storage. What kind works w/ macbook?

My macbook gives me a messages saying my startup disk is almost full. To free up some memory I wanted to move some flip videos to an external drive. What kind is compatible?

MG,
What we might need to do is to change the question. What computer do you plan to use the data on in the future? For example, if you have a newer tower, just move the hard drive to the new tower. If you want to use the data, what about an ethernet LAN to get the data over? If you want to archive the data, how do you store the second drive? What are your plans for the first drive? If the new software will not recognize the old file type, the data must be exported. Just getting files to another hard drive will not finish your journey.
As Allan said, knowing the exact model and year of your tower is important. My suggestion is to find a user group near you. Please post back with more information, including the name of a large city near you.
For example, our user group just experimented with a 1983 Apple IIc that predates the Mac. It started right up, read files from 1984 and saved them from a 5.25" floppy to a 3.5" floppy. That 3.5 floppy will go into a platinum G3 which will read PRODOS files using Apple File Exchange. That G3, with a USB card, will allow saving the files to a USB flash drive. But, somewhere along the way, some software has to read the file and convert it to data that is useable by current software.

Flip video-FCE Editing and .mov to WMV conversion

We have bought some new Flip video camcorders- i need to edit the footage and then convert them to WMV so that they can be embedded into a powerpoint presentation.
Here's the problem:
-The flip videos are MP4 files
- I have been importing these files into FCE, making the appropriate edits & then exporting the final sequence as a .mov file.
- At this stage i have a .mov that i wish to convert into WMV so that it can be embedded into the presentation. This is where the problem occurs- The video converter goes very strange, fuzzy and as though its a tv is zero reception (signal).
I have been reading up and now realise that FCE does not recognise MP4 files, so i tried:
- Converting the raw flip video footage from MP4 to .mov
-Bringing this .mov file into FCE
-Exporting the final sequence as an .mov file & then trying to convert to WMV
This is where another problem occurs:
The convertor is only recognising the audio and not the video. I have the audio from the sequence but not the video....
I have tried varies convertors so i know it is not my regestered convertor at fault (wondershare video)
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE BLEEEEEP IS GOING ON & WHAT A SOLUTION MIGHT BE?
MANY THANKS!!!!!

Hi David,
Thanks for your response. I have been trying this technique but it doesn't seem to work either. I immediately converted the footage from MP4 to .mov. I then imported the .mov file into final cut express for editing. Once the sequence was ready i exported as a .mov file and then used 'wondershare video convertor' to convert from .mov to WMV. This doesn't seem to solve the problem. In this case i can get the audio but not the visual....
I have taken your advice and downloaded 'flip4mac'. I have just currently got the free trial as i want to know if it works before paying. It seems to open up in quicktime player but wont allow me to export file and convert to wmv....
What exactly is flip4mac good for and how do you use it? I know it runs hand in hand with quicktime, so in this respect isn't your standard convertor?
Do you have any suggestions? Surely it shouldn't be hard?
Many thanks,
Ed
