How to import two AVI video files & convert to one FLV ?

Status:
- Newbie using PC & Flash CS3 ver9l
- I can import a single AVI video file and convert it to an FLV video.
Problem:
- I have two AVI video files... one 4GB (20 minute) long and one 2GB (10 minute) long... and want to combine them to have a single 30 minute long FLV video file.
Question:
- Can I do this in Flash? When I "convert" a single AVI video to a FLV using the File, Import method... I can't really see the video on the Flash time line. I'm a newbie so I'm probably doing something wrong.
- I tried doing a File, Import for file-1.avi and then doing it for file-2.avi... but the two were on top of each other... and not end to end.
Maybe some kind sould will walk me through this.
Thanks for any help.

Your not going to be able to combine two videos as one in flash, if your using Win try Win Movie Maker, I believe you can drag both into a WMVM timeline and can then save as one file, then you can use AVC video converter or the like to encode them into an .flv or.f4v file.

How to play a AVI video file in Nokia 5230

Hi, Can anybody please tell me the procedure how to play a avi file in Nokia 5230.Thx in advance.

5230 can't play .avi files out of the box you need to install application like smartmovie player or core player to play it. These two, unfortunately, aren't free. A work around is to convert .avi files to .mp4 format using a video converter like Super by erightsoft(google for it).
If a reply has solved your problem click Accept as solution button, doing it will help others know the solution. Thanks.

How can I view .avi video files?

Neither Quicktime nor Flip4Mac plays .avi movie/video files. I dislike Quicktime for that main reason, lack of compatibility with various video formats.
I tried using FlipPlayer which I think is the same as flip4mac and same thing. it plays but displays nothing, no audio.
What can I use or do to view my .avi files ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

Try VLC media player seems to play anything.

EDIT DivX will play avi, not sure about VLC not listed as supported.

Can I join two avi video files?

Hello,
after long search in this java forum, i don't get any solutions.
My problem is I want to assemble some avi files, and I'm not so good in JMF. So maybe anyone has a solution or a programm for me.
I'm also thankful for Tipps&Tricks or Links
Thank you very much.

If you are using a Linux machine, you can use a command-line tool called AVIMerge.
I recently used it for joining individually submitted segments of a film like so:
avimerge -o InstrumentalityPart2.avi -i 01.avi 02.avi 03.avi 04.avi 05.avi 06.avi
There's also a way to do it in MPlayer/MEncoder using stream copying and rebuilding the index, but AVIMerge is easier to use.
Two caveats:
- AVIMerge isn't included in the out-of-box install of most distros, so you'll probably have to download and install a copy before you can use it.
- The AVI files you are joining have to have the same format (in the PAL vs. NTSC sense of resolution and FPS), and (I believe) the same encoding (as in "XviD with a constant Q of 2, a keyframe interval of 92...."). Basically, it only works properly if all of the videos you are joining were encoded the same way, with the same tools, and in the same format. This means that, if your individual video segments are in different formats or encodings, it's best to obtain the highest-quality copies possibe, as the re-encoding process will inevitably result in a loss of quality (though careful selection of filtering parameters can minimize some of this effect for certain types of footage).
I don't know of any Java tools that do the same thing, and am unsure of whether your goal is just to join a bunch of AVI files, or to make a JAVA app that, among other things, can join a bunch of AVI files. I do know that there is a way to use the "Runtime" object to call command-line programs from Java and wait until they terminate - which could allow you to make a Java wrapper for a program like AVIMerge or MPlayer/MEncoder.
Unfortunately, all of this is pretty much useless on Windows machines (though it might work on Mac OSX, I'm not sure).

Hi There,
Can you try to launch Adobe Media Encoder CS6 ( come with Captivate 8) and try to convert .avi video files to .flv/ .f4v format.
Let me know if it helps.

How do I copy my video files from iPhoto to iMovie. The two hour wait to view all in iMovie puts the kibosh on my edit time.

How do I copy my video files from iPhoto to iMovie? The two + hour wait for thumb nails and hour long wait looking for the right videos kills the time I have to edit.

You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
If you are running Lion:
From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

How to play .avi video files

I've been searching for a program to download that will play .avi video files. The things I find, I either can't install, or they don't play .avi. I can't install them because I can't figure out how to run .exe applications either, which most of the installation files are (it just says choose application).
Can someone please tell me of a good update to quicktime or a different video program, and/or tell me how to open .exe files?

Well you can check out some of the free players like
VLC:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/14738
or
Mplayer:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/27163
Both of which will play just about any file format.
Alternatively you can set up quicktime to play these same files (mpeg4, avi, etc.). You can find out how to do so along with links to the various codecs here:

My avi video files are no longer supported in PRE9? Help!

I created a movie in premiere elements 9 several months ago. My video was imported from avi files on my computer. The avi files were originally downloaded from my camera. Everything was fine and I even burned a near finished copy of my project on a DVD. Now, several months later, I open up the project to put my final touches on it and notice that all the avi video files are red in the timeline. On the organizer tab for my project under media type, it says, "offline". So, I clicked on the avi file and it asks me to find it. I find it (the files have not moved) and click on it and I get this error, "Error Message. This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed." This is very strange. Do you have any ideas? My operating system is Windows 7.

I kind of suspected MJPEG (just a hunch, as two other CODEC's, commonly wrapped in an AVI, DivX and Xvid, seldom every play correctly to start with).
Now, there are many "flavors" of MJPEG. It is an older CODEC (or really type of CODEC, as there are so many versions), that was ressurected for use in mostly (then) stills cameras, with video capabilities added. It is not a bad CODEC, but each camera mfgr. has tweaked it for their purposes. This can create issues. MJPEG is not the "universal," that say DV-AVI Type II is. Canon will have a version, Nikon another and Panasonic yet another. They all show as MJPEG, but will be a bit different. A similar analogy can be drawn with Camer RAW files - Canon's differ from Nikon's, which differ from Panasonic's, though they are all Camera RAW. Also, Nikon, for instance, is constantly changing what is in their NEF (Camera RAW) files, so that the newest will require the latest release of Adobe Camer RAW (ACR), to be processed in Photoshop. MJPEG is similar to that, with fewer variations - but still individual variations.
Now, there could well be reasons that things have changed. The first one to strike me would be that you installed the software that came with that camera, and included its specific version of the MJPEG CODEC, then later removed say the camera's utility, taking that specific version of MJPEG away. You might well have others, but PrE is having a hard time matching them up.
In that article I linked to on MJPEG, I mention two popular MJPEG CODEC's, Morgan and MainConcept. Both are rather generic MJPEG CODEC's, and when MJPEG resurfaced, they worked fine for most such files. However, as time has elapsed, and camera mfgrs. tweaked and tweaked, they are less likely to work 100%. Once, they were the "silver bullet" for MJPEG - but not so much any more.We began seeing more users, with either, or even both, still having issues with newer MJPEG CODEC's. As most camera mfgrs. ship a copy of their specific version, somewhere along with the camera, it became common practice to recommend installing that specific version from the specific camera's utility disc. Unfortunately, that was not always easy to do. Some included their version of MJPEG as a separate installation (best way, IMHO), but many incorporated it into the camera's driver installation (still good), and then there are those instances, where the specific version of the MJPEG CODEC is installed along with other utilities on the disc, such as maybe a little editing program, or a file cataloging utility. Scant mention is ever made of the specific MJPEG CODEC, and how it is installed on one's system. The latter method seems to be the most common now. I have the full utilities, including the camera's own editing programs, installed for my Canon, my Nikon and my wife's Panasonic. That means that I have at least five (think that the total count is eight on my workstation) MJPEG CODEC's: one for Canon, one for Nikon, one for Panny, one Morgan and one MainConcept.
What camera produced those MJPEG AVI files?
Do you have that camera's editing and cataloging utility installed?
Do you have the utility disc for that camera?
Have you removed any such editing, or cataloging utility, between the time that the files worked, and when they did not?
I do not believe that any version of PrE actually installs any version of MJPEG (could be wrong here), though they work with, and include various other MainConcept (mostly MPEG) CODEC's. That means that one will need to install an MJPEG CODEC, and the one specific to that camera, might be required.
You obviously do have an MJPEG CODEC (or more), installed in your OS. As there is a vast difference between playback of an AV file, and editing that same file, it could be that PrE is just not able to use the installed version, with those files. As it once was able to edit them, I am guessing that something has changed, and it could be as simple as cleaning out one of the supplied utilities for the camera, that also removed its specific version of the MJPEG CODEC.
As PrE does not install the specific version of the MJPEG CODEC, many recommend not trying to edit such material. I am not of that mindset, but do allow that one might have to do some extra work (and work that is NEVER outlined in the camera mfgr's literature - unfortunately), to get things to work. I had to install a bunch of programs, that I will never directly use, just to be able to edit the MJPEG AVI's from my family's cameras, in both PrE and PrPro. I hate having to do that, as it fills up my HDD with stuff, that will otherwise never be used - but I need the specific CODEC, and it's only available to be installed WITH other software - all too common nowadays, and a mistake on the part of the camera mfgrs. IMO.
Good luck, and I hope that with the specific MJPEG CODEC, you will be back up and editing your footage, as you were once able to do.
Hunt
PS - sorry for writing an entire encyclopedia there, but MJPEG is not as simple as it could be.

Why cant i import a .avi video??

i am trying to import a .avi video into imove '08. but when i go File > Import Movies... the video that i want to import is in grey and cannot be selected. I have also tried converting it into .mov using Quicktime, which worked fine but the file is still 'unselectable' in imovie.
any help would be much appreciated.

AVI is just a container (like .mov) and it's what inside that prevents iMovie 7 from using it.
You'll need to export the file using different codecs. Export to DV Stream is best to preserve quality but makes a huge file.

Burning multiple avi video files

Hi,
how do I burn mutliple avi video files onto one DVD, using idvd 6?
thanks
Jess

AVI is a big box, and can contain lots of formats inside. Some are compatible with iDVD, some are not. If they are, just drag them on iDVD, then play with the chapters, menus etc.
If not, you need to convert them in an iDVD (QuickTime) friendly format, loosing some quality. You can use QuickTime Pro (costs money), or ffmpegX (almost free), or alike.

How can I capture AVHDC video files from Panasonic HD video camera??

I just received a Panasonic HS300 video camera and can't copy the video files on my computer.
I see several files in the CAM_HDD camera folder on the desktop. But the only relevant files for me to copy are the JPG photos. I don't see any video files.
In the specs of the camera they write that I should have a Mac with an Intel processor. Is that the problem???
I even tried to copy the files on a PC (I succeeded) and then brought them on my computer with a USB stick. It didn't work: again, the only relevant files that I could see were the JPG, no trace of any video (but they were indeed on that USB stick!!).
How can I access those video files and use them in Final Cut Pro, or even iMovie??
I'm becoming afraid that i won't be able to use that camera unless I buy a new Mac now!!!
thanks!

you need this: http://www.shedworx.com/voltaichd
the native iMovie / FC AVCHD codecs are only for Intel Macs, the format is a highly compressed HD format which needs to be unpacked & converted for use.
The powerbook may not be up to editing these files. expect a slow process of exporting & working with the footage.

FCPX, How do I reconnect a video file that has been modified or over written?

FCPX, How do I reconnect a video file that has been modified or over written?
As an animator, I am constantly modifying and overwriting movies files that have already been imported into the Final Cut time line. In FCP7, I could easily modify and update movie files and have those changes appear in the timeline without the need to reimport and re-edit those clips, but FCPX seems to lose it's connection with any modified or overwritten file, making all the editing work I've done to these files worthless.
Does anyone know of a way to reconnect to a modified or overwritten file? Because, this one single issue makes FCPX completely worthless to me.

If you import the new clip , select it and drag over the old offline clip , you can choose from the menu ...
