AVCHD Renamed becomes a useless folder! How do I get my Video Content to read?

I renamed the file named "AVCHD" after transferring it from my camera to my HD. Now, when I pull up it's info, it says that it is a folder, rather than "AVCHD Content." Quicktime won't open it or any of the files in the folder, and FCP X won't recognize it at all. How do I convert the file back to AVCHD? How can I read the video content on it? When I look in the folders, I'm sure the files that has my video content is under the extension .mts  Within the AVCHD folder that I renamed, there are folders named: CLIPINF, PLAYLIST, STREAM and two files named INDEX.BDM, MOVIEOBJ.BDM The files with the .mts information, which I'm sure is my videos are in the folder named STREAM
What do I do?!?!?!

There are some codecs that Quicktime or iMovie are not able to read - not all apps can read absolutely every format. That is why there are converters available. I have used MPEG Streamclip (free) for some time, but even that cannot read everything.
As you can see here:
Computer playback — any media and target format that is supported by a particular computer hardware and software can be watched on a computer monitor or TV set. Presently, the open-source VLC media player plays AVCHD video files and a wide variety of additional formats, and is freely available for most modern operating systems (including Linux, Mac OS X, MS Windows) and some mobile platforms. Since Mountain Lion, Mac OS does support native AVCHD playback via the default media player, QuickTime.[25] Some Windows 7 editions can import and play AVCHD video natively, having files with extensions M2TS, MTS and M2T pre-registered in the system. (Windows 7 starter edition does not support AVCHD files out of the box, and so requires a third-party player.) In editions of Windows 7 that do support AVCHD files, Windows Media Player can index content in these files, and Windows Explorer can create thumbnails for each clip.[26] Windows 7 does not support importing of AVCHD video metadata such as thumbnail images, playlists, and clip index files. Joining AVCHD video files during the import is not supported either.[26]
you can also download VLC which will play it. Above is an excerpt from here:

  • By accident i hid my sms folder, how to i get it back?

    By accident i hid my sms folder, how to i get it back? I really need to know how, thanks.

    Hello evan95 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    On your main home screen, hit your Menu key and look for "Show All". The SMS icon will appear grayed out in the background. Highlight it, hit the Menu key and remove the check mark by Hide. It should then turn dark and now be visible.
    Take a look at KB01914 for more information.

  • Mavericks doesn't appear in application folder, how can I get it there?

    Mavericks doesn't appear in application folder, how can I get it there?
    It is downloaded. I can see it in Launchpad, when I click on it will open en start the installation, but that's not what I want, I want to have the program in the application folder. I hope someone knows how?

    Click the installer in Launchbar so it opens, don't proceed with the installation!
    Look in your Dock for the installers Application icon.
    Command+Click this icon in the Dock
    A Finder window should appear with the installer selected, you can 'Get Info' on that item to see the full file path to work out where it is, or enable the 'Path bar' in Finder's view menu, that also shows the folder path to the selected item.
    If you are hoping to install 10.9 on another Mac you may find it is best to create a bootable installer on a USB disk…

    Not sure exactly what you mean by your, "finder folder."
    However, in your Finder's preferences, under Sidebar, do you have Music and Pictures checked off?

  • How do I get home video clips from iMovie Mac to iMovie iPad?  Surely there is some degree of cross-compatibility?  I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move.  Any ideas?

    How do I get home video clips from iMovie Mac to iMovie iPad?  Surely there is some degree of cross-compatibility?  I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move.  Any ideas?  (The clips are in a .mov format, they have been imported / converted into this format in iMovie, original files were from a JVC camcorder in some other strange format.)

    I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places.  I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file.  There must be something else that's missing.  My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive.  If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
    My back-up drive is a mess.  I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={  Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period.  I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive.  Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me).  As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!" 

  • Help! How can I get my video to show on my website?

    Hi
    I created an interactive book in InDesign CS5.5 and exported the .swf file to my desktop to include all the media (a video) and the interactive page turns. I generated an HTML page and according to this page, http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/827/cpsid_82754.html, there was supposed to be a 'Resources folder' with the video asset in there. However this folder was not created.
    When I open the html page in my browser, everything works perfectly.
    However, when I went to upoad the html and .swf files to my website, http://www.avantiandg.co.uk/ the last page with the video does not show.
    My questions are:
    1. How can I access the resources folder that is supposed to be created that I am supposed to upload to my website folder?
    2. How can I get the video to load up correctly?
    Thanks

    maybe a solution:
    Videos contained in interactive files must be converted to M4V format before being imported to Indesign, AVI, H264 or MPG won't appear once the file exported to SWF.
    In HTML the ressource folder is normally next to the root file of your site (index.html) no?

  • I can't seem to get rid of OR use Adobe Reader after I let it into Safari 7.  How do I get to the point where Reader is not my preferred anything, but can still be used if Preview won't open something?

    I can't seem to get rid of OR use Adobe Reader after I let it into Safari 7.  How do I get to the point where Reader is not my preferred anything, but can still be used if Preview won't open something?

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
              Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
              Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 4 with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

  • Video Offline - How do I get my video back?

    This is the second time this has happened to me with adobe premiere elements. I went to open a video I have been editing and it says 'media offline'. And then when I try to search for it is says the video can't be found.
    How can I get my video back?

    Leeat
    What version of Premiere Elements are you working with and on what computer operating system is it running?
    Have you been moving, deleting, or renaming files and folders that were imported into the project after you saved closed the project?
    When you import media into a project, all you get are copies of the originals in the project. But the copies need to trace back to the
    originals where they were located when they were first imported into the project. Does any of that apply to you?
    If not, do you store any of your source media on an external hard drive? if so, the external hard drive may be malfunctioning and/or the
    drive letter may be changing for a variety of reasons.
    To get your project source media reconnected, best use the "Where is the file....?" messages one by one, targeting the exact file name
    that the message is looking for. The message does not know where the files are. You have to direct the message to the place where
    you know the file are (exact name of file) and then click select in the message. After you have processed a few of these messages, the rest of the missing media  may kick into place automatically...depends. Have you been there and done that?
    Can you actually see the files that you are looking for on the hard drive or have they disappeared from their original hard drive save
    location?
    Please review and consider and then we will decide what next.
    Thanks.

  • How do I get my videos to upload from my sony handy cam when I get the message The following file could not be imported.  The file is in an unrecognized format. I am using a macbook pro version 10.9.3, I have 411 gb free space, it worked before I updated

    How do I get my videos to upload from my sony handy cam when I get the message The following file could not be imported.  The file is in an unrecognized format. I am using a macbook pro version 10.9.3, I have 411 gb free space, it worked before I downloaded the latest update for iphoto.

    You may be able to download and install the update from here: Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 6.01
    If I upgrade to Yosemite will I be forced to go to the new Photos program
    No. After upgrading (and of course make a back up first) you will need to update iPhoto to v9.6.1 (you won't be able to do this prior to upgrading). Here's how:
    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
    Photos is v1 of a new app, as yes it's not as mature as iPhoto. It uses a different technology for working with external editors. That requires Adobe to write an extension to let it hook into the new app. Not done yet, neither has anyone else.
    Going forward: iPhoto will run on OS 10.10., but there is no guarantee for subsequent versions of the OS. You might want to factor that into your anger term thinking.

  • How can you get 2 videos to play simutenously together?

    How can you get 2 videos to play simutenously together so both are playing side by side on screen at the same time? 

    Welcome to the forum.
    As Steve observes, what you are talking about is called "PiP," or Picture in Picture.
    He has given you the basics of creating a "split-screen" PiP, and that should be exactly what you wish to do.
    For more detail, plus more ways to do PiP, I strongly recommend his book, Cool Tricks & Hot Tips for Adobe Premiere Elements 11, from Muvipix. He has an entire chapter (Chapter 10) on PiP, and many of its uses, with detailed instructions on the settings to accomplish it. Just that one chapter is worth the price of the book.
    Good luck, and happy editing,
