What software do I need to work with .MOD files

I have a JVC HDD Everio camcorder model GZ-MG365BU that records with .MOD files. What soft ware do I need to edit them with a mac.

Hi,
The files will need to be converted and I think MPEG Streamclip (free) would do the job. Export to Quicktime/ DV NTSC and import into i movie.

What is the best way to work with avi-files?

Hallo all,
I'm new to this forum so before asking my question I'd like to say some words about myself:
I'm not a native english speaker, so please excuse language mistakes I'll possibly make and feel free to ask if I'll write something which you don't understand due to this fact.
Half year ago I bought a HD Cam from Canon (Legria HF 200) which - in my opinion - has a good quality (good enough for my hobby films), and realized that cutting HD films on Windows would require a lot of expensive high end hardware. So I bought a MacBook and Final Cut Express - a decision I'm very happy with.
After the first disastrous tries to make a small clip I bought Tom Wolsky's "Editorial Workshop for FCE" and now I'm more happy than I was before (because I've seen that you're posting here: thanks for the great book!)
But now to my question:
I have 9 old PAL DV tapes (containing family clips which I'd like to cut now) recorded with my old JVC, which has a FireWire port only. Unfortunately my MacBook doesn't have such, so I have to capture to DV avi using a PC with Pinnacle Studio.
1.) The avi files are very large (between 13 - 18 GB). Because I'm not able to recapture due to the missing FireWire port I'd like to archive the material on an HDD. How should I convert the AVI to make it smaller without a great loss of quality but keeping the ability to use it in FCE (especially when reconnecting after creating the subclips from the original)
2.) I'd like to keep the whole captured tape content as master clip and work with subclips from it. Yesterday I converted such an AVI to Film using QuickTime (the size didn't change noticable) and used the DV-Start/Stop detection. Unfortunately that didn't work correctly - some of the markers have been set in the middle of the shots instead as expected exactly between them. Should I do this on the original AVI file to make it work? And if, is it possible to reconnect the subclips created this way to a MOV created from the original AVI?
3.) On the PC I get an xml file containing the correct position data of the subclips (as timecode, if I remember correctly). Is it possibly, to use this data in FCE to mark subclips? Maybe by putting it manually into an xml project file or something similar?
4.) Or is there any other way to solve my problem?
Sorry for the big post and thanks in advance,
André

You're welcome, and thank you for the reply.
2) Yesterday I made the subclips with the In-Out Points and Command-U, the benefit is that I've seen the clip before naming it. Now I'm using markers, it's benefit is that I can write comment and (the later) clip name at once, the drawback is that I have to view to the next shot's beginning before knowing what the shot contains.
But now I found out that I can reconnect my clips independently to the format I converted the master clip to. I reconnected the media to the original AVI file and it worked, too! The more I work with, the more I'm sold on it... - although it doesn't seem to be able to read and use the date information within the DV AVI.
1) Ok, I tried something similar within FCE. Just worked, but the file size still remains. Which codec settings should I use? Is the export to DV in MOV with a quality of 75% acceptable for both file size and quality? Or would be encoding as H.264 with best quality an option for archiving, knowing that I have to convert it back to DV if I (maybe) wan't to use it for editing later? Or anything else?
Thank's in advance again,
André

Working with MOD files in iMovie 08

Hello. I have a jvc everio camcorder. I started trying to import my footage with iMovie 08, but as it reads all the cam videos, it is too slow and crashes are common. I decided to copy all my MOD files to hard drive and select only the desired clips, but now, it seems I can't import directly the MOD files.
Should I change the file extension or convert the clips to work with iMovie? With iMovie 06 I must convert clips to DV, what is slow and takes a lot of time and space.
How do people with hard disk camcorders work with iMovie 08?

Hi,
The portal component runs at the Server side - the server can't access directly to End-User files.
but you can use the FileUploader control to load the file change it at the server and post it back with the response.

Working with .MOD clips

Before I go on I can see I'm asked if I want to use or delete the recovered version (of this content?) I'll do nothing if i can until I know what it means!   Now about .MOD - Since I could not see much listing about the topic I'd like to share my successful finding about it. I have had my share of trouble with my HD clip and thank the forum for all the help I received to get me through and so I hope this will help others who have trouble with .mod files. Yes after my trouble with HD I thought I'd be cruising with my friend footage in SD. You'd thought Adobe would have handled something like this the easy way - no "format not supported"! This is when I googled and eventually found the right answer. The trick is to "convert" these .mod clips into (I think mpeg2), That is to change the extension to .M2V (as you can see it's not a real conversion) - This may seems simple for many as for me all I could see in the directory was name without extensions! Ah, you may say, you need to un-hide them. But what about the .MOI? I can see them and I don't think it is because I'm French (moi je suis vraiement Francais! ). Further more if you right click on one of these clip's name and choose "Rename" You still won't see the extension and if you add one, although you can't see it it's actually added to the invisible extension so you'll end up with xxxxx.mod.m2v although you'll see only xxxx.m2v! Luckily, I came across Turkov's Blog:(http://eturkov.blogspot.com/2008/05/working-with-mod-files-in-adobe.html) "Working with .mod files in Adobe Premiere Pro CS3" - (I use CS4) Now I've given the site I won't explain in details how it's done. as you can check it for yourself. It is very well laid down with clear screen shots. but you must follow all the steps thoroughly. Back to the ext. name change - it is done through "cmd" command and needs a little juggling for those like me who used it once in a decade, but again it's clearly indicated.   The other and first thing a should have mentioned is to enable pp to accept .m2v you need to download a .dll file and put it to the adobe root directory. Again I was not too sure how to do it but went into the Adobe collection then Premiere CS? and there saw all those .dll so added to it (I can feel all the sneering, still I'm proud of myself!). as for the renaming I had little trial and error about entering the renaming command as it was not quite clear whether or not there were spaces in it. I found that:>space ren space *.mod space m2 v (> ren *mod *movEnter) was right for me! I also read somewhere that the renaming can be done through Adobe Bridge, but I have not used since CS2! The cmd approach will rename easilly a whole folder. Happy as Larry I imported the folder into PP and all was so good, I played a few clips with no problem. Half way through my clips suddenly all went very wrong. Screen ghosted, PP not responding any more, non adobe stuff appearing in my source monitor - total stuff up. Back to the instructions... Last step about conforming the clips, so eager I missed it! One needs to select all the new imported clips and open the "interpret the footage" I'm using PAL and used the only "wide screen" option available that is a little different than NTSC example But it must have been right! I also noticed that the "interpret footage" field was ghosted under "file" but worked when I right clicking within the project window. There you are, 'hope it helps....After re editing this I hope I have not been to enthusiastic as I seem to have a lot of difficulty rendering my clips on the time line getting a lot of program freeze.

Thank Guys for all this, I have no idea of what is SDCopy may be will need to have a look at it. I'm using Chrome so will hit 3 returns to create a space!
   I also mentioned earlier that I could not find any listing here for this topic but since found "What is the best way to handle .mod files in Premiere CS4", with much contribution and interesting material. One needs to widen question format to get result!   I just tackled the next folder of such clips with bizarre behaviour. I first went through the cmd rename routine then imported in PP cs4 with unpleasant result as the system was quite instable. The size of this folder was 1.79 gb (it also contained .xmp file, not imported but puzzling, as I don't know where they come from since I sorted the original folder, not containing such files, and imported only .mod in the new folder within to rename!) I then deleted the lot and decided to import one clip at the time, then interpret the footage and put it on the time line, reduce the size to fit safe area and hit Enter to render. So far it went well so I increased the number of clips import gradually and up to 500 meg. still no problem. However my last import, about 300meg. freezed about on the first quarter. I looked at the content and found one file about 100mg that seemed to be at the problem spot. I removed it and tried to render the remaining, had no more problem! That clip was actually one where my friend forgot to switch the camera off (lucky for him he was wearing good looking shoes!) And lucky for me since I did not need it.
   Some of the reading I have done seems to imply that renaming is not the best way to go about and it looks like I should remove the manufacture mpeg 2 "envelope" through a proper file conversion. What I have got now is 2 .AVI file that don't look too bad and need to edit as the only edit i have done is bring the clips to the safe screen size in the program monitor. (it's a good fit in the source monitor but far to large in the program monitor!?). I can't really tell if I have lost a lot of quality. I still wonder why 90% of these clips are ok but some give me such trouble.

Working with Large files in Photoshop 10

I am taking pictures with a 4X5 large format film camera and scanning them at 3,000 DPI, which is creating extremely large files. My goal is to take them into Photoshop Elements 10 to cleanup, edit, merge photos together and so on. The cleanup tools don't seem to work that well on large files. My end result is to be able to send these pictures out to be printed at large sizes up to 40X60. How can I work in this environment and get the best print results?

You will need to work with 8bit files to get the benefit of all the editing tools in Elements.
I would suggest resizing at resolution of 300ppi although you can use much lower resolutions for really large prints that will be viewed from a distance e.g. hung on a gallery wall.
That should give you an image size of 12,000 x 18,000 pixels if the original aspect ratio is 2:3
Use the top menu:
Image >> Resize >> Image Size

HT1338 What software do i need to download for my new HP Photosmart 5510 ePrinter to work on my new iMac

I have just bought a new HP Photosmart ePrint printer. I could not download the software on to my new iMac. What software do i need to down load from HP to make my printer compatible with iMac.

With reference to this article from Apple that lists the models of printer drivers available from Apple for Lion and Snow Leopard, there are a couple of HP Photosmart 55xx printer drivers in the list. So if all was well with your iMac then the driver should be downloaded and installed when you connect to the printer. With this not happening you can try installing this HP Driver update. It contains all the HP models in that driver list - that's why its over 500MB - and it may be just what you need to get this printer connected.

What Software do I need???

Hi folks,
I'm new to BO so to start from scratch I'm trying to figure out what desktop Software I have to put on my workstation to unleash the full power of BO, work with our BO server and get the SAP Best Practice for BI up and running. I downloaded the following stuff from service.sap.com:
- Xcelsius 2008
- Crystal Reports 2008
- BO XI 3.1 Edge
I kind figured these would be the most recent releases.
I first installed Xcelsius, then Crystal Reports. When installing BO XI 3.1 it gave me an error that it can't be installed with Crystal Reports already there. So I uninstalled Crystal Reports 2008 and installed BO XI 3.1 . The SAP Best Practice BI scenario comes with a lot of .rpt files which are Crystal Report Project files as of my knowledge. But I can't install Crystal Reports anymore. I guess because of BO XI 3.1
So I wonder what software I actually need. I haven't found any source that clearly states what applications to install for what reason and in what version. It would be really great if someone could bring some light into this!

Hi Robert,
You can install a Virtual station software like VMWare and stuff like that.
After installing VMWare please allocate some space for this and then install the OS with that then you can install the Crystal reports.
Where you can use the Crystal reports and BO at the same machine.
Hope this helps...

Do I need BootCamp in order to work with Publisher files?

I need to be able to create and work with Publisher files. From what I've read, the only two options are: 1. buy a PC (UGH) and then purchase Windows and Publisher.
OR
2. Purchase BootCamp, Windows and Publisher.
I was hoping that by some miracle, some software company has addressed this. Like Pages or Word.
Any recommendations?
Thanks

You need MS Publisher which is not available for the Mac, there are no compatible programs as far as I know.
Do you need BootCamp? if you are planning on installing Windows natively then yes, or you could run it in a VM, but with less performance usually.
Or buy a cheap PC (with windows) and run it there.

What software do I need to install on my I Mac OS X Lion so it will read downloaded PES files?

I have a new Brother DreamWeaver sewing machine which I need to download designs on my computer to use on the sewing machine. I have an IMac OS X Lion and it cannot read the downloads. What I need to know is what software do I need to install to enable my computer to read these downloads?

Does the Mac meet the hardware requirements for Lion
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
If everything works perfectly then your data should be safe. I don't know about you but I am never going to trust my data to everything working perfectly so I always backup first.
The next step is to buy a Snow Leopard DVD and install it
Once you have upgraded to 10.6.8 so that you have the App Store for Lion then you can purchase and install Lion.

Laptop HP DV6-2088dx - what kind of dock station will work with it?

what kind of dock station will work with it?

Hi John,
Please find answer below
1 -- What are the specs of a laptop that can handle CS 6?
It depends on the application you will use and install. Video apps like Premiere pro, After effects have higher requirement as compare to InDesign, Illustrator etc. Please review the tech specs for each application. This link will help with the details :System requirements | Adobe Creative Suite 6
2 -- Can I sign up for Creative Cloud services for, say, a couple months and then suspend the service when I'm back to using my desktop? What's the pricing for that?
Yes, you can, You can find the pricing details creative.adobe.com/plans
3 -- Can I use Creative Cloud when I don't have access to Internet because internet service is sporadic or non-existent in northwoods?
No, you can't. You need internet atleast once to activate the software.
4 -- Can I easily transfer projects from CS 6 laptop to CS 5.5 on desktop?
It depends on file format. File format like JPEG, PSD, TIFF etc are universal and shall work perfectly fine between CS6 and CS5.5 however format like INDD will be a concern as InDesign file saved in newer version could not be opened in older version directly.
5 -- Alternatively, can I simply install my existing CS 5.5 in a new laptop?
Yes, you can.
Hope this helps
