Bad Video File Transfers

I have a Compaq Presario CQ60 and I am trying to transfer video files from a Panasonic pro video cam. The transfer seems to work fine until I go to view the video clips in any kind of viewer and then they play really "choppy". Has anyone else experienced problems with video file transfers?
According to a service rep at Panasonic, my laptop has above and beyond all the minimum system requirements for they cam as well as the editing software I have (Vegas 10). I can also find nothing wrong on the camera side of the equation.
Any help or thoughts would be great!

Not necessarily. Sometimes they're caused by failed captures as above, but if the drive was not correctly formatted, this may not be the case. If the drive is not in Mac OS Extended, then the file will segment based on the file size, and the -av file will be part of the whole media file and cannot be deleted to keep a complete QT movie.

Opening video files transfered from phone to pc

transfered video from phone to pc and downloaded pc suite to pc but when i click on video file i get a message "cannot open file"

Which phone? Which version of PC Suite? Did you use the PC Suite "View multimedia" app/feature or some other app to view the videos?
What is the video file format (at least the file extension, such as .3gp, .3g2 or .m4a or whatever)?
What if you try some other video player like Apple QuickTime?

Bad video file

i was doing some live capture with FCE HD, which is basically setting the easy setting to DV Converter, then just pull up 'capture' and click 'now' to record directly to the HD.
i've been doing this for months without any problems, then yesterday the system froze up when i hit the 'esc' key to finish the capture, giving me the spinning beach ball of death. after a while it wasn't going to improve, so i had to reboot.
now, the video file in the 'capture scratch' folder, instead of being named "lifeStory", it's now "LifeStory-av" and i can't import it or pull it up in any video programs or converters.
is there any way to fix the file? it's the only copy i have of it.

Video files transferred from pc all grainy on iMac

Hi
I've recently bought the new 27" imac and before I sold my windows pc i transferred all my files including some home movies onto a external hard drive .I've just played some of the clips and the majority of them have lost a **** of a lot of quality.The files i recorded using a dv camera are so grainy and noisy I can hardly make out what they are.The videos I recorded using a camera are better but THEY seem to be pixelated .
Please help as these are now the ONLY copies of my precious memories.

Surprised about VLC playing graining .avi files. Anywho, download Perian (AVI and FLV support) and try playing using QT.
Regarding the wmv files, use Flip4Mac to play these type of files.

Sony just isn't helping me. I'm still having trouble transferring my NX3 video files.

Well, I'm still having trouble transferring my NX3 video files to my editing software. Sony suggested using the Sony Content Browser but that doesn't work. Sony just can't seem to help me. If the scene shot on the card is longer than 10 minutes, 4 frames of audio is lost from each file. So if you shoot 60 minutes straight (say a wedding, you loose audio every 10 minutes) I guess this doesn't sound important, unless it happens just as the bride is saying "Yes" in her vows.
My original post is as follows:
Sony NXCAM (NX-3) drops audio tracks when importing into FCPX and Premiere.
I called Sony on Feb 13, 2015. I spoke with Doug (case no. 661972). I've been using my NX-3 for about 3 months. I'm still testing Sony NX-3. Looking for a way to transfer the video and audio without dropping audio frames. I didn't catch it at first, I mean it's only a few audio frames. It seems to happen with files over 12 minutes shooting. It seems that I can't upload the video/audio shot in my NX-3 to either my iMac (using FCPX nor Premiere) nor can I upload it to my PC (using Premiere) without 3 to 6 audio "frames" being dropped. When I spoke with Doug at Sony, a person I've actually spoke with in the past, he seemed frustrated. I was speaking with him as a professional and was attempting to find a solution, he was being protective and wanted to place blame at other companies. He stated that the camera played back the files correctly so it isn't a Sony problem. I explained that it is a problem for all of us if we choose Sony as our purchase. He told me "you should all buy Canons next time." That kind of through me. How do you speak to that. I explained that I am just looking for a solution and he told me to call the software and computer companies. Doesn't Sony realize that just because the camera works, that isn't the end of the road. You need to put the video into a devise to edit the video. I asked him what software would he recommend to a professional to use to edit footage taken by the Sony, he no reply. All I received from Doug was a really bad feeling about Sony. I've been a Sony "shooter" for over 34 years. I still can't believe the way I was treated. Not sure now what path I will take with this. But I surely need to tell everyone (all of my associates who have been asking me how I like my new camera) what response I received from Sony. Buy a Canon. By the way, I asked if Sony might have another camera of the same type that didn't drop audio. Doug didn't know. Really strange. Is Doug not happy with his prosition with Sony?

Auto Correct:
As far as I'm aware this cannot be turned off. Someone may prove me wrong on this point
CDDB Update:
Again, as far as I'm aware this cannot be done. You could use WMP to update the files then import them into iTunes.
Music Deletion:
iTunes seems to only ask you if you want to delete a file if the file is located in its library folder. In the Preferences>Advanced>General section try changing your iTunes Music Folder to the folder where all your music is stored and it should ask you if you want to move files to the recycle bin when you delete them.
Library Update:
This is a feature I with iTunes would introduce. When you delete or move a file iTunes loses track of it. What it needs to be able to do is first check to see that all the existing files in the library are still there, and remove the ones that aren’t, then it needs to search for new tracks.
It can search for new tracks but if you have renamed a file, then it will be in the library twice, one is the old file (which will no longer play because it doesn’t exist) and the other is the new file.
The way I now avoid iTunes annoyances in relation to file names and folder organisation is I let iTunes sort it all out for me. Selecting "Keep iTunes Music folder organised" and "Copy files to iTunes folder when adding to library" will get iTunes to sort your music into Artist folders, then within the Artist folders are Albums, then within the album folders are the actual files, which are named Track Number Artist. For example Coldplay - Clocks will be named 05 Clocks.mp3.
WARNING: Selecting "Keep iTunes Music folder organised" will copy all the music in your library to the iTunes Music folder. You must have enough Hard Disk space to do this.
...that wound up longer then I thought it would. Hope you can make sense of it all.
Cheers,
Ben

Video files exported with QuickTime Pro 7.2 can't be transferred to iPod

If I use the default Export to iPod export choice in QuickTime Pro 7.2 to export video files and add them to my iTunes 7.3 library, when I try to sync them to my 5th generation iPod with video (November, 2005), I just get the "can't be played on this iPod" message. I can create, transfer, and play video files on my iPod if I create them a different way (by using iSquint, ffmpegX, or No Frills DVD2iPod, for example). Exporting to mpeg4 using h.264 results in the same problem, even though I've used settings I know worked before. The export to iPod export choice does not offer any customization of settings. Although this problem is new, I can't be sure the immediately previous version of QuickTime Pro didn't also have the problem, but I know I have successfully used QuickTime 7 to create videos that could be transferred and played on my iPod in the past. How can I use QuickTime Pro 7.2 to create video files that will be compatible with my iPod? Thanks.
Mac OS X (10.4.10)

I can also verify this (QT Pro 7.2 exporting to .mp4 not compatible
with video iPod [firmware 1.2.1 on both 5G/5.5G units]).
This results in the unusual situation where custom H.264 output
is operable on the iPhone but not the iPod.
Example: your iPhone should play
http://homepage.mac.com/retiarius/sample.elements.mp4
but it won't transfer to a video iPod.
Yes, the workaround is to 'export for iPod' or do the conversion
within 'iTunes', but this in many circumstances will generate
larger files.
The closest description of this situation is:
http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2006-September/015930.html
Perhaps Apple will release a video iPod firmware update soon
to get the 'uuid' atoms and whatever watermarking they are
using these days straightened out.
I'm surprised this hasn't been noticed more by video podcasters
who dutifully use Apple's own QT Pro encoding tool to optimize
filesizes via the tunable H.264/.mp4 codec settings.

PE 13 crashes due to incompatible video driver detected. Running on Win 7 SP1 with ATI 540v video card/driver. Deleting bad driver file in adobe program data does not fix the problem, it simply replaces the text file and crashes again. My video driver

PE 13 crashes due to incompatible video driver detected. Running on Win 7 SP1 with ATI 540v video card/driver. Deleting bad driver file in adobe program data does not fix the problem, it simply replaces the text file and crashes again. My video driver is just fine. Any help out there?

Your video card driver may be fine for something, but just not compatible with Premiere Elements 13/13.1.
For those with the display card error, the answers include
a. assure your video card/graphics card driver version is up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card -
if necessary consider a driver roll back.
b. determine in Device Manager/Display Adapters if the computer is using 2 cards instead of 1
c. delete the BadDrivers.txt file
the rationale for that deletion is found in post 10 of the following older post...principle applies to 13 as well as 9.
Re: Premiere Elements 9 Tryout Serious Display Problem
Have you looked for computer ATI card settings that might be more compatible with Premiere Elements 13/13.1?
When is the program crashing - just opening a new project or rather crashing if editing a particular video format at the Timeline level?

Trouble Transferring Videos Files from computer to ipad in ios 8

Hello -
I'm a bit confused about the "sharing" aspect of what used to be the "home videos" section in itunes for transferring video files to my ipad. It appears I can only access these files when my itunes is open and able to be accessed via wifi. What am I missing? I would like to have the files themselves on the ipad so that I can watch videos when not connected to the internet, and not near my computer.
Apologies, this is probably an easy fix - I haven't been able to find an answer,
Elizabeth

Hello there, Elizabeth.

Problem transferring JVC Everio HD Camcorder Video files to ZEN 1

I can't seem to succesfully transfer video files recorded by my JVC Everio hard dri've camcorder to my ZEN. The files as originally downloaded from camcorder to PC are?.MOD format which is not visible to ZEN Explorer as a videofile and will not convert at all. I?changed the file extension to .AVI?and these are now visible and will convert and transfer, but?cannot be played by my ZEN.
Has anybody else had similar problems, or?does anybody have any suggestions?p.s. I have succesfully transfered other video files including AVI files?recorded using my Fuji stills camera.

welcome batman to the  board ...
well... the iApps iMovie and iDVD are meant to work
with firewire connected miniDV camcorders...
you lose the convenience of the iApps... anyhow:
Streamclip
(free) is the weapon of choice, in case, your
HDcorder stores as mpeg1...
for mpeg2 conversion, you need additionally the Apple
mpeg2 plugin (20$) ...
helpful?
Thanks for the quick response!
Well, I think they are in mpeg2 format, but not positive. Anyway, I did away with miniDV camcorders because they transfer much slower to the computer than the HD camcorder...but now I get this issue! lol I guess that's what I get for switching to a Mac!
Is there any other way besides the $20 plugin to convert the file? Will the plugin lose any quality in the conversion process?

HT201302 Transferring large video file from Iphone

My video file is extremely large and won't transfer by click and drag to hard drive. I have tried every way possible. Any suggestions?

Windows XP cannot import video files larger than 500 MB using Camera and Scanner Wizard. You can transfer these files directly from your device by selecting them in My Computer and dragging or copying the movie files to your computer's hard drive. If that doesn't work, you'll have to try third-party software, like this:

Transfering DVD to Video file formats

I'm trying to convert mini DVDs to a video file format (.mov .avi, .mp4, etc.). I used the trial version of iMedia Converter Deluxe made by iSkySoft but the videos look pix-elated & not as clear as the original footage (.vob).... Can anyone recommend a converter that will copy the files in the best possible quality?

See my post here.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3951
The post recommends using Apple Intermediate Codec. With Final Cut Pro, you could also use ProRes 422 (LT) as your codec.

Transferring Video Files without Losing Project Links

I know this issue must have been addressed in the archives, but I can't seem to find the specific issue. Hope someone can help. The online manual is no help.
My C: HDD is filling up with video files, and I'd like to move all video files (and future files) to a new 2TB disk that I have installed dedicated for that purpose. I intend to leave Premiere Elements 4.0 and my .prel projects in my existinng C: drive.
How do I do this safely, without losing the links between the raw video files and clips inserted in my project?? Thanks.

the Archiver seems straightforward, but I will then have my .prel project on a drive different from the Premiere program. Somewhere I read that this is possibly unstable. Any opinions?
Actually, this is preferred. On a two, physical HDD setup, allocation like this is best: Not sure where you saw a rec. to have the Project on the same drive as the program.
C:\ OS, program files, and maybe the Windows Virtual Memory (Page File)*
D:\ Project, Assets and Scratch Disks
If one has a 3 HDD I/O, this would be the best
C:\ OS, program files, and maybe the Windows Virtual Memory (Page File)
D:\ Project, and Scratch Disks
E:\ Assets
* A bit of experimentation might indicate that the Page File does better on another HDD, as far as ultimate performance is concerned. I have two different Page File locations, on two different machines. On one, splitting the statically managed Page File over C:\ and D:\ yielded the best performance, while on another computer, locating it fully on E:\ was best. Just depends, though locating on C:\ will usually be pretty good. For video-editing, I do like to statically manage the Page File, as is explained in this ARTICLE.
Good luck,
Hunt

Transfering MPEG-4 video file to ipod video

I just got the new video ipod and its amazing. but the set back is this stupid dependence on making the already quicktime file a special "ipod 320x240" file.
So i made a video in imovie and exported it in the special ipod ready format (just like the tutorial said to do when you get the error message when attempting to transfer a non-compatible video file from itunes to the ipod). the video is 4 mins long and it went on to the ipod fine and played perfectly. so today i finished up the video and now its a total of 13 mins long. i exported it the same way as i did to the first video that worked fine BUT now im getting the error message i get when the video hasn't been exported correctly. I KNOW I EXPORTED IT CORRECTLY. ITS IN MPEG-4 format and when i look at the icon of it on the desktop it has a itunes label to. (it looks exactly the same as the file i used before and worked)
it just doesnt make sense so i tried exprorting it through quicktime pro
SAME PROBLEM. i dont understand
please if anyone has any idea on what i can do THROW ME A FREAKIN BONE HERE!!

Am a bit confused here. Both Steve and COZY claim to have used the "Special iPod 320x240" option to create MPEG4 clips. The only problem is, the only iPod preset uses the H.264 codec and does produce a file icon with the iTunes overlay. Thus, if the file format is really standard MPEG4, then something appears to have gone wrong during compression.
If, on the other hand, the file was really exported to MPEG4 (or ISMA MPEG4), then questions arise as to specific user settings applied. For instance, neither Steve nor COZY mentioned their audio settings. Were, for instance, the streaming settings left turned on.
Thus, to determining what is really going on, you need to state the "real" audio and video formats, data rates for each, original, as well as, display settings, etc. as described in the "Show Movie Info" window.

from a post from monkeyboy67:
Hopefully in answer to the many posts on “how to get various video formats onto your iPod” I have put together a summary of applications I use. I have tried a few others with varying amounts of success (some of which are free) - I have finally plumped for the software produced by Xilisoft as providing good quality video relatively affordable cost for use with PC’s and numerous MS operating systems. The link below takes you to their site which not only allows you to download trail versions of their software but also has a comprehensive set of tutorials and FAQ's for their iPod video conversion software.
I have regularly used these applications to convert various file formats to iPod friendly video. They are simple to use although frequently processor and RAM hungry:
Use Xilisoft iPod Video Converter if you want to:
[*]Convert various video file formats to MP4
[*]Convert most audio file formats to MP3
[*]Extract audio from video file and save to MP3
[*]Encode several files simultaneously
[*]Pause encoding process to run other CPU time consuming programs at any time
Supported file formats:
Video:
[*]MPEG(mpg, mpeg, dat, vob); WMV; ASF; AVI; QuichTime(mov, qt); MPEG4(mp4); 3GP; DV(dv,
dif); Real Video(rm); Animated GIF(gif - decoding only); Macromedia Flash(swf - decoding
audio only);
Audio:
[*]MPEG Audio(mp2, mp3); WMA; WAV; AU; MPEG4 Audio(m4a); Real Audio(ra); OGG; AAC; Raw
AC3(ac3); NUT Open Container Format(nut);
To convert DVD's to an iPod friendly video format:
Use Xilisoft DVD to iPod V4:
[*]Just pop the DVD in your drive select compression variables (default settings work well) and sit back!
All these products are available on a "try before you buy basis", yes there are applications for XP which are free but and may work just as well but I have converted many hours of video for my iPod without hassle using the Xilisoft products (no I don't work for them!). Check there web site HERE
