Best way to get a movie from windows to OSX without buying a new hard drive

hi all,
I want to import a 6gig movie file into OSX for use in iMovie'08. It, however, is in windows on the same machine. Anyone have any ideas how to go about this? I don't want to pay for a new harddrive just for this one time task. I don't want to buy Parallels either.
Any help is appreciated.

It is a bootcamp partition. The file is too large for a DVD. DVD's are 4.7GB and my file is 5.7GB. I wonder if I can split the file into two parts, and then use 2 DVD's...
Thanks for your help. ANy other ideas are appreciated too.

  • Is there any way to get my photos FROM my iPod Touch back onto a new hard drive?

    My Mac crashed last Friday. First timeIs there any way to get my photos FROM my iPod Touch back into my new hard drive. The iTunes sync only goes one way from the computer to the iPod.
    It syncs the photos taken with the iPod (really an old iPhone 3G without phone service) but not the folders which I synced from the old hard drive to the iPod over the past year.

    thank you for the tip.
    Yes, my computer was backed up. for reasons way too complicated to go into here, these particular folders were not part of the backup.
    Thanks again for the help.

  • Is there a way through aperture to move all of my referenced photos onto a new hard drive while maintaining the current file structure and still keep them as referenced files.

    I just want to migrate all of my work (all photos are referenced) from one drive to another and have my aperture library start working off of my new larger hard drive.

    Depending on how your folder hierarchy is organized you might be able to do this with file->relocate masters and one of the options of folder organization that is provided but... if you have complicated hierarchy that Aperture will not reproduce then you can just copy all the entire folder hierarchy to the new drive using finder and then use file->locate masters to reconnect them to Aperture like this...

    It's actually a bit easier if the old folder hierarchy/drive is disconnected when you do this for a few reasons.

    What is the best way to get my pictures from a memory stick to my iPad?

    Technically, they will import off your flash drive....if it's one of the models that work (maybe 50% do) and if they meet the very rigid naming convention that the iPad insists on.
    It's far easier to use a computer then either sync them on via iTunes, e-mail them to yourself or upload them to something like dropox, then download them onto your device.

  • I recently added my old mac hard drive to a new macbook with an SSD as my main OSX drive.  I am having trouble with permissions in viewing my old hard drive.  What is the best way to get complete access to my old hd installed in my new Macbook?

    I recently added my old mac hard drive to a new macbook with an SSD as my main OSX drive. I am having trouble with permissions in viewing my old hard drive, when I save a permission when I reboot the full access is changed again .  What is the best way to get complete access to my old hd installed in my new Macbook?

    Open the Get Info window for the old drive. Click the Lock icon on the bottom of that window and type in your password. In the permissions area click the Plus sign ( + ) and Add your Username to it and set it to Read & Write. Close that window. you should now have full access to all the files.

    Right click on your device in the device list and choose "transfer purchses" to copy all music bought in iTunes to your new iTunes library.
    For all other media you'll have to use 3rd party software, examples are mentioned in this thread:

    Although you have posted in a Mavericks forum, implying that you have a Mac computer, your profile doesn't say that you have one. Printer Pro requires the printer to be connected to a Mac.

  • Best Way to Make A Movie From Many DVDs?

    I'd like to make a montage of select scenes from 20+ DVDs of raw footage using Premiere Elements 7.  I can't import all of these DVDs into the space I've got available on my hard drives.  I'd appreciate any recommendations for the best way to extract select scenes from these DVDs into smaller media files that I can then import into a project for final assembly.
    I can imagine an approach of putting a single scene into a sceneline and rendering it into an importable file type, but I'm not certain which type to use that won't reduce image quality along the way.
    Of maybe there's some whole other approach I'm missing, ie using Archive.
    Thanks!

    JGW,
    Thanks for the clarification and the details. A couple of thoughts:
    1.) some of the hardware writers, similar to your deck, do not do the best job at writing to DVD-Video. Many have a rudimentary Menuing function built in. Since a .VOB can contain a lot of "stuff," besides just a multiplexed MPEG-2 stream, the way that they handle the construction can create problems, even for programs, like PE, that can Import and use a DVD-spec. .VOB. It is truely a "sometimes they work, but sometimes they do not." I do not know about the Toshiba. I do not even know about my Panasonic deck, as I have never had to try and work from one of its DVD's. They have always been an archival copy of a client's VHS, or similar. Both might do fine, but both might create poorly formed .VOB's. We'd both have to test this.
    2.) while DV-AVI Type II does introduce a bit of compression (someday compare it's file sizes to a DV Uncompressed), it is visually slight. In the case of the MPEG-2's, that was where the quality took the hit. Going directly to DV-AVI will probably not be discernable from the MPEG-2 source files. Now, if you're going back to a finished DVD, remember that you'll be doing another MPEG-2 compression from PE (or most NLE's).
    3.) one consideration for quality (at the expense of much more time) would be to do a recapture of your 8mm tapes. If one did this, it would require the camera, or a deck for those tapes. If the camera was a digital, even if the tapes were analog, and it connected via FireWire, PE might be able to do a perfect Capture. Again, one may, or may not loose "device control." If the camera was analog, then something like the ADS Pyro could do the work. Have to say that I doubt, but do not know, that one would have device control, but that's not a really big deal.
    4.) there are other ways to rip a DVD. Here's a LINK to a workflow. It's certainly not the only way to do it, and this one is written around Adobe Encore, but should translate almost perfectly to PE, or PrPro.
    There are also editing programs that use an MPEG-2 workflow and offer "smart rendering," which means that only footage, that has been altered, will be re-Transcoded to MPEG-2. Unfortunately, I use an exclusive DV-AVI Type II workflow and do not have a clue where to tell you to look for one of these programs. I'd guess that there are some freeware ones, and probably some inexpensive ones. I'm just not the guy to tell you anything about any of these.
    As for external storage, the prices are getting amazingly low. On Friday, Fry's (Western states US) had a 1TB unit for US$89. I am ashamed to tell you what I paid for my first 1TB external. Even worse, you should see what I paid for my first 2TB RAID 5 NAS! FWIW, I have been a big fan of and have bought many of the Maxtor 1.5 and 2TB units. So far, not problems.
    Steve, or Paul_LS might have some MPEG-2 to MPEG-2 editors for you.
    Good luck,

  • Best way to get rendered footage from 3D app into FCE

    I want to render footage from my 3D app (Cinema 4D,usually in TIFF sequences, rather than QT movies) and bring it into FCE for editing, color correcting, and possible compositing.
    What format will FCE accept? I tried this scenario with iMovie and no matter what settings I used in rendering from the 3D app, the image was blurry in iMovie.
    Looks fine in Quicktime, though.
    I don't own FCE, yet, so I can't experiment.
    Thanks.

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    DV and HDV (Apple intermediate codec) are compressed formats.
    You must understand that FCE HD can only works in format aimed to TV set output (compressed formats).
    The best quality to outfput animation movie from 3D app is... Quicktime animation codec. It retains alpha channel and give best color rendering, but give pretty large files.
    Altough your animation movie looks sharp, FCE HD convert it (render) to fit the sequence format (DV or HDV: suited for TV set monitor, thus compressed). So the result will be a compressed one. That's the way FCE HD handle all material inserted in sequence.
    To avoid rendering in FCE, select the same format as your FCE sequence from your 3D app (DVCPro NTSC, or Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60). By choosing the same format (DV or HDV (AIC), you choose the same compression quality however.
    Final Cut Pro can handle a myriad of formats from heavely compressed mpeg to uncompressed HD. So if you put a uncompressed animation codec into a sequence with same settings, the output will be uncompressed.
    If your aimed distribution format is DVD, the result will be compressed anyway to standard def format. Go with FCE HD confidently.
    If you want to distribute on computer screen, DV is not a good way to go, but HDV(AIC) can give good results with Quicktime convertion to H.264 codec in full or half frame size. FCE HD can do the job.
    Although DV is not best viewable on computer screen, you can produce quicktime H.264 with small frame size, say half or quarter size.

  • Windows XP Pro doesn't recognize new hard drive on T61 thnkpad

    Hard drive: 160GB 7200 RPM SATA
                        The Lenovo part number for the new hard drive on my invoice is: 41N5737
                        However, the sticker on the hard drive itself has this Lenovo part number: 42T1057
                        It is made by Hitachi.
    Thinkpad: T61 (8891-CTO)
    OS: Windows XP Pro SP2 (newly purchased, shrink-wrapped)
    This thinkpad had Vista Home on it. I bought the new hard drive for the purpose of loading a just-purchased copy of Windows XP Pro SP2 on it (. After installing the new hard drive:
    1. I turned on the machne and inserted the Windows XP CD.
    2. Files from the CD (drivers, etc.) started being loaded (into memory, I guess).
    3. Then got a prompt to select whether I'd like to install a new version of XP or restore an existing version.
    4. I selected Install a new version.
    5. Then I got a message saying Windows could not find a hard drive on my machine.
    6. Then I restarted, and interrupted the restart to look at the BIOS config settings
    7. I found the hard drive test function, and started the hard drive test.
    8. It took a while, but the hard drive test was successful. So hard drive is OK, and the BIOS is aware of it.
    How can I make Windows XP aware of my new hard drive?
    Thanks for any help....
