.Avi in my video library
I finally buyed iLife 08 and I'm a bit disapointed.. My Action Cam (Oregon Action Cam 2k) makes videos in .avi. Now I wanted to import older videos and it doesn't work..!
What can I do? cause this is the only camera to make movies like I like to do and i really want to do movies with the new iMovie!
You can use iSquint to convert all your old vids to mp4. If you really want to keep using that camera, iSquint can convert the .avi for you just by dragging it and dropping it on to the app. Other than that I don't think you are going to find a way in iMovie08 to import .avi.

Im using Win8. I originally had all my ripped movies in a movie folder listed in the videos library. This imported into iTunes movies with no issue. I later added a second folder t my library - personal videos where i put all my home videos. I was able to import this into iTunes and it showed up in "Home Movies" - very cool and exactly what I wanted. Now, if I add a new ripped movie and put it in my movie librairy and try to import it into iTunes, it places it in Home Movies. And if I put a new personal video, it will also import into iTunes under 'Home Video?. What is going on here?? Any help would be greatly appreciated - it seems like this is a bug in iTunes 11.
I thank you for the response. Apple does some assinine things sometimes and this is one of them. Ask the planet the difference between a movie and a home video and with the exception of Apple, you'd get 100% consenus on the what difference is. A home video is something that I shoot, like my kids birthday party. A movie is something I urchased either via download or a DVD that I ripped. Unbelievable! The fact that Apple has chosen not to distinguish based upon which folder I tell it is Movies and which folder is Home Videos is really hard to fathom - sounds like something Windows would do. I find it funny that in my iTunes movies sub-section of the movies section, the movie icons have a cloud icon in upper right corner to distinguish it as bought from Apple iTunes versus no cloud icon for movies that I have ripped - so the distintion was already made and clearly visible. Now - everything just defaults to "home videos" if I try to import a new ripped DVD - why even bother to have this distinction on the iTunes bar? WOW!
As for your direction, I do not understand what you are telling me - what Media Kind and what Options tab are you referring to? I see no Options tab in iTunes. Right licking on the movie icon does not yield media kind or options as well. Gping to the source file does not yield these options either.
Thanks again for your help.

i have installed the LATEST VERSION of itunes in my windows and i bought the new ipad with retina display ,i had moved music into the ipad from my windows through the itunes but I DONT KNOW HOW TO MOVE THE VIDEOS IN MY VIDEOS LIBRARY OF MY COMPUTER TO MY
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Adobe Video Library no longer accessible
I'm using CS3 Design Premium, and after I recently upgraded to Mac OS 10.5.5 on my Mac Pro, I was no longer able to access the Adobe Video Library/Lynda.com training videos. I haven't tried it from other CS3 apps, but from InDesign when I click on Help, go to a topic, and click on a video link, it comes up and the progress bar appears to "progress," but nothing happens when I go to actually play it. I can't even click on the "background" window showing all the applications and lists of videos for each one. That becomes all grayed out.
Does anyone have an idea of what might be happening and how to fix the situation?? I'd appreciate any suggestions.
TerryBecause Adobe uses Flash technology for all its videos, I'd reinstall the Flash Player. Here's a link to the latest version:

Rsync used STRICTLY for "photos and video" library back-up
Hi,
I'm hoping to get some guidance from some experienced users of rsync.
I'm new to rsync, but have been learning about it. I'm also new to Terminal.
.....**For full system back-ups, I use CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner)....clean and simple.**
However, for my large "photo & video library" (over 1 TB on an external drive), I found that CCC, while essentially doing the same as rsync, seems to take MUCH longer. Rsync, on the other hand, is very fast.
This leads me to FIVE questions.
Q1: Is this because CCC (which uses the rsync command, albeit modified), is doing a check-sum or sometime else behind the scenes?
Also, looking through the various command lines that other contributors have suggested when using rsync, I am a little confused as to which optional commands are necessary for a PURELY "photo and video" library.
For the optional commands, I think the ones that are a MUST for me are:
-a - "archive" rsync, includes ownership info and extended attributes extremely useful for moving large volumes of data and keeping AD/OD/POSIX permissions intact
-v - "verbose" gives the user more information on the rsync display
-x - prevents crossing filesystem boundaries
-t - preserves modified time
--delete
This tells rsync to delete any files on the receiving side that aren't on the sending side. Files that are excluded from transfer are excluded from being deleted
....Optionally, I could add the following to view the progress:
--stats
This tells rsync to print a verbose set of statistics on the file transfer, allowing you to tell how effective the rsync algorithm is for your data.
Q2: Is there anything else I should be adding?
Q3: Also, I saw that one contributor used "bash" at the start of the command line. Is this necessary for my specific purpose?
Q4: Snow Leopard comes with rsync version 2.6.9 version 29. I know that version 3.1.0 is already out, but this would require an installation step (possibly using come Terminal commands, or something like "MacPort"), then adding patches, and perhaps some steps that I haven't mentioned. Is version 3.1.0 really necessary, and in what way? Much faster? Better Integrity of the back-up? Other? (o.k., that was more than one question)
Q5: Is there a command to preserve the "CREATED" time of the photo? Is this taken care of by the " -a " or the " -t "?
Thanks,

Hi Tony,
Thanks for your quick reply.
A few other questions:
1. What is the -N command for? I could not see it on the rsync.samba.org website.
That's added with the crtimes patch:
-N, --crtimes preserve create times (newness)
2. My friend does not have CCC. She's also using Snow Leopard 10.6.8. What are the steps to properly install the newest version of rsync?
Here's what I do:
1. Download and unarchive rsync and its patches
a. Move patches directory to rsync-3.1.0
b. cd rsync-3.1.0
2. Apply patches relevant to preserving Mac OS X metadata
patch -p1 <patches/fileflags.diff
patch -p1 <patches/crtimes.diff
3. Apply patch relevant to preserving Mac OS X hfs+compression
patch -p1 <patches/hfs-compression.diff
4. Configure, make, install
./prepare-source
./configure
make
sudo make install
5. Verify your installation
rsync --version
By default, rsync will be installed in /usr/local/bin.
If that isn't in your path, you will need to call
your new version of rsync by its absolute
path in /usr/local/bin (you will most likely need to do this
and --version will verify that you have the right version)
(from: Configuring Mac OS X for Unattended Backup Using rsync and updated for hfs+compression patch)
3. For myself, what would be the disadvantage of using CCC directly rather than accessing it via Terminal? When running CCC, what are the default commands being used?
No disadvantages that I'm aware of.
I'm not sure what defaults that Mike is using now, but most of the the flags that I use and posted are from the link above from Mike a few years ago. -
Please help "pull videos from Video library & play in my app"
Hi ,
Q1:I put videos in my ipad video library using itunes.I have it so the videos are pulled from the video library, once I click on the video it opens just not in my app but in the video library.
How do I get the videos to play on my app? not open and play in the video library?
Q2: When I place the videos in the ipads photo library it works but then I have a problem, The videos can be shared/emailed..I don't want the videos to be taken when the ipad is passed around to others. I could go this route if somehow I can encrypt the videos or keep them from being taken... any suggestions?
Note:
We are using NSURL class refrence...everything has to be local.. also this is for private use not going on app store
This has been stomping everyone, any suggestions are greatly appriciatedThis may or may not work, but is worth a try.
Select the clip in the trash. Then click on the Gear box in the top area of the trash. See if it gives you the option to "Put Back". If so, that should do it.
If not, you still may be able to drag the clip back to the Event that it came from. Then restart iMovie. -
The video library is empty in iMovie on iOS after update to iCloud photo library
I updated to iCloud photo library and all of my photos and videos are now in the cloud instead of my iDevice. When I open iMovie in iDevice, the photo/video library is empty. How can I use my videos in projects?
iCloud photo library will be introduced as beta in an iOS 8 update scheduled for October. Read under "Pricing & Availability" here: http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2014/09/09Apple-Announces-iOS-8-Available-Septem ber-17.html.

I am creating a video library of approximately 100 video
clips - suggestions or thoughts from anyone who has done this
before and the best way to do it, and best file format? I am
leaning towards wmv simply because that is how the videos are now -
and using a database to pull the file name for each link.
It needs to be designed where it will fit in a fixed size
player that users can resize.
Thanks!oh yeah one more question - any suggestions or links to
something that could automate this - i.e. a javascript or extension
- where I wouldn't have to do much coding . . . yes lazy I

Creating a Video "Library" in Pr
Hi,
Recently I have decided to make the switch from Final Cut Pro X to premiere pro. This switch is mainly due to the cool dynamic link features in premiere.
I generally edit video mashups/compilations as backdrop visuals for DJs. Some of my videos include clips from over 80 different sources. I'm currently using Final Cut Pro X to do all the editing and now feel I have outgrown it a bit. When I'm editing in FCPX I use my events and key tags as a means of organizing a wide variety of clips. What I like about this system is it allows me to bring in any of my key tagged clips into a current project. In an Ideal world I would have this same type of “library” of clips to pull from in premiere.
So my two question are:
1. Is there a way to easily access clips (including metadata) from previous projects in premiere so that I can add them to a current project?
2. Do you have any advice about organizing a massive video library like this?
As an important side note all of the videos I sample are by permission or a commercial Creative Commons license.
I would love to hear a professional opinion on this, Thanks for the help!oh yeah one more question - any suggestions or links to
something that could automate this - i.e. a javascript or extension
- where I wouldn't have to do much coding . . . yes lazy I

How to add my video library to iPad g3 from MacBook Pro?
How to add my video library to iPad g3 from MacBook Pro?
What sort of videos are they, and what app do you want to sync them to ? If they were taken with your camera and they are in a format supported by the iPad, then you could sync them to the Photos app - with the iPad connected and selected on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, you can use the Photos tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to sync photos and videos (there is an 'include videos' tickbox on that tab) to the Photos app.
Or you can sync them to the Videos app. If you can add them to your iTunes library (File > Add To Library) you can then use Movies tab (instead of the Photos tab) to sync them to the Videos app. If you can add them to your library but they don't sync over because they aren't in a supported format then try doing Advanced > Create iPad Version and then try syncing those versions. -
How could we play all music videos within the music folder in the iPad2 ? In other words, select all, choose random, and click play and all music videos will automatically play upon completion of the one been viewed without the user having to deselect another video manually (annoying interrupt).
Currently you have to choose each music video and upon completion choose the next one manually. That defeats the whole concept of a music video library.
This does not happen on previous iPad or MacBook Pro iTunes!!!!!
Very annoying.

Can I re-install imovie without loosing video library?
Currently I can only import 3 video clips at a time. Any more than this, freezes the entire computer. I re-installed imovie on a different drive just to test the results of a fresh install. I was able to import a large number of clips without any problems, on the drive with the new install. This tells me that a new install should fix my current problem.
The question is, how do I do it without loosing my current iMovie video library?Well, quit iMovie, trashed the playlist and relaunched. There were two; com.apple.iMovie7.plist, and com.apple.iMovie.plist. I attempted to import a dozen clips, and the computer froze as before.
The clips I'm importing were originally dragged from the cameras hard drive to a desk top folder, because my iMovie06 didn't recognize the Sonny HDD camera, so at the advice of Sonny, I saved the files from the camera to the desktop folder, so I could deal with the files later, and not loose them completely.
I then installed iMovie08, and attempted to import the MPEG2 files from the desk top. They were grayed out, so I couldn't import them. I then dragged the files back to the camera hard drive and attempted to import them. This is when this particular problem started. I have a feeling that iMovie just doesn't like these MPEG2 movie files after being dragged to the desk top and back to the camera again for import.
The three at a time import method, though irritating, is a work around to this problem, I discovered.
So I guess when I'm through importing these "problem files", in three's, I'll try "reseting the app. again as you suggested, and see if I can import the MPEG2 files directly from the camera, as it's meant to be done. -
