Cameras that record video in compatible format?

Photoshop Elements doesn't use .MOV format for video. What digital cameras offer compatible formats? Old Canon did, now no. Panasonic isn't compatible. Instead of trying to convert format, I'd like to get a new camera that uses a compatible format. Thanks

If I have to use a conversion program to incorporate .MOV clips into PSE
slide shows, I'm ready to return the Canon camera I just got and go
with a different camera that I think is just as good, half the price,
and full featured with a touch screen - and also .MOV formated.
I don't think that a different camera with .MOV formatted video will solve your problem. That is because I believe the problem is that the PSE slide show editor will not accept the .MOV format in any version of Photoshop Elements.
However, if you wish to post the make and model of the camera that you are considering, I will read information about it.
FYI -- Back as far as PSE 4, I remember trying .mov files in the PSE slide show and having it rejected: so I asked someone else who hen attempted with .mov video from a different camera and also failed. Very recently I saw a complaint about .mov files not working in the version 9 Elements Organizer Slide Show Editor.
I wonder -
1 -- What software are you currently using to play these video files on your computer ?
2 --I have seen reports of people having problems importing some H264 video files to the PSE 7 Organizer. These problems might or might not be relevant for your videos, so I wonder --
Do you currently have these video files imported to the PSE 7 Organizer ? If yes, do these files play successfully from the thumbnail in the PSE 7 Organizer ? And if you look at the Properties for this video file, what does it show as dimensions - 1280x720 or 640x480 ?

I'm sorry, you didn't understand what I wanted you to do. You might have "done the right thing", but I can't be sure. Your original program (as I understood it) recorded images from the camera for a fixed period of time that you set (so you knew the recording time) -- what I wanted to know for the original camera was (a) what was the recording time and (b) how many frames were taken.
The second program that you just attached does the opposite -- it records a fixed number of frames (a better way to do this is to use a FOR loop and just wire 900 to N in the upper left hand corner). If you are going to record a fixed number of frames, then I want to know how much time it takes to record. You can do this by doing something like what is shown below (with the FOR loop example).
I realize that this is in the "wrong" version of LabVIEW, but it just involves adding two Tick Count functions to your Camera loop. If it does say that Delta-t = 15000 (15 seconds), then the main question, "Is the camera recording at 60 FPS", is answered as "Yes". In any case, we should have enough data to make your code work as you want it to.

I'm using ezcap.tv 116 ezgamer capture card to record my PS3, this is on a windows laptop, Im then moving the recorded videos in mpg format over to my MacBook Pro to use IMovie to edit them to upload to youtube but it won't let me import them.

I'm using ezcap.tv 116 ezgamer capture card to record my PS3, this is on a windows laptop, Im then moving the recorded videos in mpg format over to my MacBook Pro to use IMovie to edit them so i can upload them to youtube but it won't let me import them, even after changeing them to MP4 format, it just comes up with the message: "No Importable Files None of the selected files or folders can be imported. Change the selection and try again."
Ive even tried opening in itunes and copying from thier but they wont open in Itunes, no message or anything they simple just dont open. its strange because it does open in quicktime player.
please if anyone has any ideas that can help me please let me know XD thanks.

First problem: You're fine. The hotter it gets, the more the fans spin up. The computer is designed so that at max load, at max fan speed, it won't overheat (unless it's obstructed by something, e.g. sitting on your bed swallowed by a comforter). It's not the best thing to keep it that toasty for days at a time, but a couple hours at a time shouldn't be a problem.
Second problem: If something in the trash won't delete, just use Secure Empty Trash and it should be fine. Since .torrent files are quite small, it should only take a couple seconds.

Need a camera that saves video clips in a format the iPhone will read

I have a Samsung digital camera and it takes great photos and video clips. The problem is, they don't sync on my iPhone because they must use a different format than .MOV
It's a big enough issue that I would consider buying a new camera. Can anyone recommend a good camera that, once the videos are imported in iPhoto, will then play nice with the iPhone?
Thanks!

Hey OT,
Both the iPhone Quicktime Movie files produced with the File > Export for Web using Quicktime 7 Pro (.m4v and .3gp) play fine on iPhone 4 for me.
Don't have any earlier iPhones handy to test with atm.
That said, the official tech specs do not list that specific file extension as being one iPhone reads: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP587
The .3gp file produced by Quicktime 7 Pro is using the H.264 codec which is supported by iPhone which might be why it still works.
Hope that information is of some use to you

Any camcorders that save video in QuickTime format?

I love the QuickTime .MOV format and it is far superior to Windows Media stuff on the PC. I would like to buy a very simple camcorder that will save the video on a memory card or something. So that when I pull these video clips into iTunes or QuickTime, I won't have to do any converting of file formats.
Can someone suggest a little recorder that will do this? I don't need one with lots of bells and whistles.
Thanks.

Most modern video cameras record to DV Stream (onto tape). These files are brought into iMovie, edited and exported to QuickTime formats. Some record to DVD disc as MPEG-2 format which do not (easily) allow any editing but play back on your computer or through a set top box.
Most newer digital cameras also allow recording of short video clips. Dozens of formats and some that are hard to edit on a Mac. May use the ancient .avi container and many also only work on PC's.
For iMovie editing or importing for conversion you want a camera that includes a Firewire connection. Lots of different names (Sony calls it iLink).
You really don't want a camera that does the compression to a format for you. You want the "raw" file so you can edit and then convert without losing quality.
Any iSight camera can also be used with QuickTime Pro to record to .mov format. If you own an iSight you need only move up to QT Pro ($30).

Should I record video in Iframe format or other format such as 1080/60i or 1080/60p--want to import to imovie or abobe premiere?

I am traveling and recording video using a panasonicHCX920 full HD camera. I will probably import video into Imovie 11 on my Imac--but if I switch to final cut or Adobe premiere what recording format should I use? I know Iframe works--but does it work for HD movies played back on a HD TV? Which format is best?
1080/60I (1080/60p) or Iframe?
Thanks

Hi
iMovie can not yet - use p50 or p60 - as standard at all !
So I would use i50 or i60
the progressive material (p60) can be converted outside iMovie to interlaced (i60) - but I don't know how.
FinalCut Pro X - Can import and use progressive material - i've read.

TS1702 iPad camera not recording video

Camera on iPad has just decided to stop recording video. It was stuck on 'square' for a while, now it's stuck on photos. Cant get it to record a video at all. Any ideas. It's iPad 2 on latest ios

You are a gentleman and a scholar! It's actually sliding up and down but that works.
Thank-you very much indeed!!
Why cant apple do something sensible like put an arrow next to the word or say 'slide to choose' (they'd rather charge £25 for the privilege!!)

How do you switch to front camera while recording video?

I have the iphone 5s and while I'm recording a video, I can't figure out how to switch back and worth between front and back camera. I know how to do it while not recording but I want to switch the camera as it's actually recording, is that possible?

I don't claim to know the details of each one of the hundreds of thousands (or perhaps millions) of apps out there in the App Store.
But I can tell you with all due respect if I were writing software for the iPhone / iPad, I would never consider such a product (that switches cameras while recording), because in my humble opinion, there would be very small if any demand for such a product.

I have a camcorder that records in the .MOD format. It is a Panasonic SDR-S26 and is not compatible with MAC. I want to create a DVD using the video on my camcorder. How can I do this?

My operating system is OS X (version 10.6.8) and I have a Mac Mini.

Trust me when I say this coming from 20 years of experience.
Get a powered external drive, format it 1 Partition Option: GUID and OS X Extended Journed as the format in Disk Utility.
Download and install Carbon Copy Cloner, clone internal drive to external drive.
Set a schedule to remind you to do it at least once a week, keep it near your charger.
When you plug your charger in, do plug the clone and power the machine up, set the display to sleep only,
CCC will do the rest.
If you want to boot from it, hold the option/alt and select it Startup Manager.
I've seen many TimeMachine and TimeCapsule nightmares and so far haven't seen a problem from anyone using a bootable clone.
It's simple, it's easy, it's more reliable and more powerful than what Apple does and it only takes plugging in a extra cable.
Make as many clones as you want, keep them time seperated, off site etc. etc.
Cables don't have network issues, clones can be verified in seconds merely by booting from them.
Clones protect your productivity, your up in seconds on a clone despite even the hard drive dying.
Software problem? No sweat, boot of the clone and reverse clone your problems away.
If you want to fuss and muss with half implemented TimeMachine and TimeCapsule network headaches then prepare to suffer.
I don't like to suffer, I bought a Mac not to suffer, but it appears you do with TimeMachine and TimeCapsule.

QT Pro recorded video not compatible with FCP?

Is a video recorded in QT Pro compatible with FCP?
I was getting errors earlier today importing QT video clips recorded in QT Pro.
FCP said "unknown file type" and wouldn't import it.
I tried different decks, different footage, all to no avail.
Drag and drop, file>Import, neither worked.
I never tried this before and was surprised.
It's not that it needed rendering, it just wouldn't import.
QT was set to use the native format of the recording device.
FCP was set to DV NTSC easy set up.
OS 10.4.7, QT 7.1.2, FCP 5.0.4.
Thanks,
Richard

The files open fine in QT player.
640 X 480 was the QT captured frame size, 29.97 fps, and it was captured as "device native" in QT preferences. The source tapes where mini DV/NTSC so its frame size should be 720 X 480.
If this frame size is the problem, why is QT pro recording a 640 X 480 image when the original is 720 X 480? Also, can't FCP handle a 640 X 480 QT video size anyway?
I tried different tapes with different decks and kept coming up with the "file not recognized" error when trying to import into FCP.
Thanks for your help,

HT1462 CAN I USE THE BUILT IN ISIGHT CAMERA TO RECORD VIDEO?

I recently purchased a new iMac and would like to know.

Apps already on your Mac that can do this:
• QuickTime Player
• Photo Booth
• iMovie
• iChat
If you need help, launch one of the apps and choose its Help meun item.
Other apps for different video record functions are available by using
your Mac's  > App Store... menu command.

Video Cameras that work with Mac software...

I am a new Mac user (3 months and still learning) and My wife is a photo freak. She is wanting to get a new camcorder and start editing some of the footage she gets. Which camcorders out there have people had success with on the Mac??? We currently have a low end Sony that will not work. It does not have a USB connection and burns footage to miniCDs. We're looking for something that we can plug in and get to editing. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Any DV or HDV camera will work (writes to MinDV casettes and has a firewire port for DV video transfer). Prices range from about $175 to $6000.
Other than that, cameras that record MPEG4 and can be accessed as USB mass storage devices will work too. With those, you are sacrificing quality of the video for the speed of transfer to the computer (DV and HDV transfer 1 minute of video in 1 minute). With MPEG4 video, the data has already been compressed and encoded with some quality loss.
There are also DVD/MPEG2 recording cameras. These have very similar properties to the MPEG4 ones but require additional software on the Mac, and, if mini-DVD, require an external DVD drive.
Personally, for home video I use a Canon ZR100 -- very small and simple camera. Quite basic, but I get pretty decent results (particularly outdoors). I'd prefer a nice 3-CCD model but that just wasn't in the budget at the time (maybe soon).

With OS X Yosemite 10.10.1, cannot record video with the iMac's built-in FaceTime HD camera. Cannot find the "Import" button in the toolbar.

Just updated to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 and cannot find the "Import" button in the toolbar to record video on my iMac's Face Time HD built-in camera. Trying to follow the steps found under "iMovie (2013): Record video with the FaceTime HD camera" on apple support posting but it seems to me that those were posted for another OS version.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hello Triunfo,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you are using the current version of iMovie, 10.0.6, you can follow the directions in the help article linked to below to import using the built-in FaceTime HD camera.

Can the Camera become a Video Recorder with Firmware?

I'm just curious if that's even possible with a firmware upgrade. It'd be cool if they could release a firmware so you could record video and hence upload it to youtube :P

So no one knows for sure? What's needed for a camera
to record video? I mean, can't the iPhone's CPU
handle the crunch and they possibly just limit to
recording 30 seconds of video or something?
Video means more space needed. I have an 8bg iPhone and its kind of a bummer that I can't upload my whole iTunes music library to my iPhone. My library is about 16bg so I dont have all my songs portable, I have partial.
Maybe its just me but I could care less about video functionality, I would rather have all my music and my videos and some pictures on my phone and I'm satisfied already.
maybe more app update(s) other than that I love my phone
