Can OS 10.7 Lion play raw .mts files unconverted

As the title states, does Lion have the ability to play .mts files raw and unconverted?
Gracias

You can also use VLC

It woks very well, can read almost anything, and also lets you do conversions to other formats.

  • How can I play 1080p MTS file without conversion?

    Hi,
    I wasn't yet able to find a decent player capable to play 1080p MTS files smoothly? I acquired the snapshots using a Sony DSC-HXV9 and I don't want to convert them. Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    This MTS files can't be direcly played by media player. You can find yourself a converter app. But since you don't want to convert your videos I recommend you VLC player, it may help you .But the quality may not very good. for some free converter app: Handbrake, MPEG Streamclip, freevideomaker.

  • Working with raw .MTS files, no AVCHD folder structure

    Hi, I've backed up raw .MTS files to Blu-ray data discs, just the files not the AVCHD folder structures.
    I've read about this and everyone says it's not the right way of doing things, that it requires the entire ACVHD folder structure to function.
    However when I load these files back onto my Mac from the discs they import just fine into FCPX 10.1.1 natively or optimized. I've had no issues with it at all so why are people so against that way of doing things?
    Just curious.

    Can you explain why they would have gone through multiple generations of compression?
    Your camera(s) shot in a certain format. It could use any of a number of codecs – including variants of MPEG2, H.264, whatever. So you import that into FCP and edit – either natively or in optimized. Then you export. When you export, it recompresses – in this case to a fairly high bit rate version of H,264. But to be clear, it always recompresses – even if your camera used H,264 to acquire the media, and you don't optimize, it will recompress in exporting to Blu Ray specs. Inevitably, there is some loss of infomation. It may or may not be a detectable loss.

  • Search is still not back up...how do we import raw MTS files again

    i know someone posted the answer, but search is still down even though they promised it back up by july 2. I downloaded a raw MTS file. However, I have no idea how to get it into imovie. I was trying to test canon 30p footage. If not, no biggie.

    now that search is back i found my answer....and its not as straightforward as i thought!

  • Why can't I render or smoothly play 1080p30 .mts file (Canon XA10 camera) on premiere

    Using both a quadcore pc and a brand new quad core macbook pro both take my 1080p .mts file and bring in with yellow line....can't render workspace and won't playback smooth....occassionally a red screen appears as well. I dragged file into new item in project lower corner to create custom sequence...no help there either. 
    Thanks a ton!
    Jason

    Yellow line is what you usually get. Dont worry that is normal.
    Make sure you copy the whole card onto the harddrive first and then ingest via the Media Browser.

  • How to play back mts files in Bridge CS 5.1?

    I figured out that the reason of slow and stuttering playback of my AVCHD clips in Premiere was that I used re-wrapped H.264 files in .mov container. That makes it easy to visualize them in QT or in the Finder, but Premiere cannot play them smoothly. The original .mts files play smoothly in Premiere, but they are not recognized in Bridge. What gives? How can I make Bridge to use the playbacl engine of Premiere so that I can first add metadata and annotations to my clips (in Bridge) and then edit them in Premiere?

    yes I second that! It'd be quite helpful to preview MTS files in Bridge - especially since you can't preview them in PPro either!

  • Can't assign keyword to my raw (.nef) files in Bridge cs4

    I have no problems assigning the keywords on my list onto my .jpg files (by selecting the file, and then check the box on the left of any keyword on the keyword list), but when I try to do the same to my .nef (raw) files, the message "The file "xxx.nef" cannot store xmp metadata. No changes will occur." comes up, and won't let me add the keywords.
    I believe that metadata (including keywords) for this type of files in Bridge is stored in sidecar xmp files in order not to alter anything in the original file, but if that is the case, is there a way that I can add keywords/ metadata into the sidecar xmp files in Bridge?
    Thanks in advance!

    As a Canon user I have no experience with NEF files but also can't recall problems with not writing metadata to it in Bridge.
    Can you provide more details on how you handle these files. Are they not locked, and not stored on read only storage? or are they just plain NEF files imported from your CF card to the computer?
    Have you also tried to convert the NEF to DNG files using the free Adobe DNG Converter?
    Metadata is stored in the XMP data inside the file itself and should also stay there after converting to other file formats like tiff or jpg. The data for changes made in ACR are stored in a sidecar XMP file if you have set the preferences for it in Bridge.

  • I can't import Sony Alpha 5100 raw format files

    Hello experts,
    I tried to import raw format files from SONY Alpha 5100 (ILCE-5100) but never worked while it did when I tried with Alpha 5000. I checked with SONY customer support and was told that RAW format is exactly the same between 5000 and 5100, which is SONY ARW 2.3.
    Does anyone know how to fix this? Or do i have to wait until Apple will update iPhoto?

    We are just users like yourself here and have no idea what's coming down the pike at a later date.
    You might see if the Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh is compatible with your camera. If it is you can use it use it to convert your RAW files to DMG files which iPhoto can import until support by Apple is released.

  • Cant import raw .MTS files

    I am running on an Intel Mac with FCS2, and I am not able to import .MTS files. I have a Panasonic AVCHD camera that uses SD cards instead of a hard drive, so I grabbed the MTS files off of the SD cards throughout an entire week of filming. How do I import these into FCS2 now? I only have the MTS files on my external drive. I have Voltaire, but its too slow.
    Thanks

    I think I might have answered my own question. The raw file that is brought in from Log and Transfer might be interlaced when you view it, however once I put it in my sequence and on the timeline, then exported the video, I choose to export at 1920x1030p30. When I view that, it looks perfect. Viewing the raw import file from either VoltaicHD, Log and Transfer, or Toast 9 all look pretty crappy before you convert and export as progressive in Final Cut. I'm happy with this, since my final video will obviously be exported through FCP anyways.
    So I think I am all set now, but if any of this sounds incorrect, someone please feel free to jump in and correct me. I am new to the whole Mac scene and Final Cut, and video editing in general.
    Thanks,
    Brandon

  • Why is iPhoto (Mountain Lion) importing RAW/NEF files as jpeg's?

    I am manually importing via DVD's my archived iPhoto files from  iPhoto '08, (7.1.5), Snow Leopard, to my new computer running Mountain Lion. iPhoto '11 (9.4.3). Most of my files are in RAW format (NEF) and was saved as such. I am noticing that as I import from the discs into the new iPhoto, it is importing some as jpeg's and I am loosing my RAW data. I am findiing very little being imported as RAW.
    Has anyone else had this experience?
    Is there somewhere in the settings that I am not finding, to correct this? I checked all that I know to look at and I did not find anywhere an option to change the format of the image in importing.
    I, also, converted files from jpeg to.tiff and saved them as such, but I am not finding any .tiff files either.
    Any info?
    Thank you for any help you can give.

    OK.  WOW!
    One by one!  Larry, Terence and Old Toad,
    Thank you, all of you, for your helpful replies.
    Firstly, I am a little confused between Larry and Terence; sounds like opposite info. Is it?
    Old Toad, Now I know about this easy way to do this. I have, at least, 1T+20,000 more images, some of which I will import into my new 750 gig Macbook Pro, so this seems easy. (Already over 30,000 images. Can iPhoto hold so much???)
    It seems tho, that I AM BUSTED!
    Unfortunatelly, I could not import directly the old Library to the new Library because of the below reason. (even tho there seems to be some difference of opinion on this between Terence and Larry)
    I did the unthinkable. I worked out of the iPhoto Library.
    What I did was this: my older Macbook Pro, had a 200 gig HDD, and could NOT handle all the photos I was putting into it (which I needed to do the work I want to do), so I first downloaded the images from my camera to iPhoto, then, I downloaded,as I went along, by year, to external HDD, and then I cut DVD's, by year, in pieces, via Toast, as my backup. (both, directly from the iPhoto Library), Then, I deleted many of the photos in each event, in each year, leaving only enough to remind me what is in that event.
    (Then, when I needed images from that event, I could go back to the HDD to see and get the rest of the pix I needed to use).
    I KNOW this is totally SACRELIGIOUS of Mac and the whole iPhoto Library set-up, but it didn't hurt the library functioning, (in the old mac), at all, and was the only way I knew to do it, as going thru iPhoto itself, didn't work out so well.
    (That is why I didn't import directly my old library to the new Mac, not all the photos were there, and I thought it would be more confusing trying to add the missing photos to each event in the new iPhoto).
    However, re-importing from the HDD  to the new iPhoto, was a bit of a mess, as I got, (as 2 of you, above, said), mixed up info, as both "originals" as well as "events" downloaded, which gave me duplicates of some, and the dates are NOT necessarily in order, as was in the old iPhoto before. (but that I can reconcile, later, can't I?
    Can I move events to other places in iPhoto?
    However, going directly via the DVD's into the new iPhoto, gave me exact input and I got all the files as well as all the data. But, in some, very slow downloading, and very few, some date order mixup, but very few.
    SO, this new iPhoto Library is a bit messed up with the duplicate images in about the first 3,000 or so images, but I assume I can fix this up.
    Oh g---d.
    In any event, it is now showing RAW and jpeg's as info in the metadata pane.
    Thank you , all of you. I am not so computer savy, I do better in photography!
    All the help I receive is welcome and worthwhile. And if there is anymore you want to tell me, besides scolding me for going into the iPhoto Library, it is all welcome.
    I Thank you.

  • Can't get sound to play ib .avi files

    I have a Supacam DVX camera I bought at MacWorld '06. It records well and I am able tp play in VLC, but I can't get the sound to play in Quicktime or imovie. Any help is appreciated.

    That's odd. MPEG-4 shouldn't be a problem at all.
    Open the file in QuickTime and hit (Command-I) to bring up the information on how this file was encoded (both video and audio).
    You may find some tips here:

  • How can I sort "locked or tagged" RAW image files in a folder?

    I'm in need of some help.  I have photos that I "Tag" or "Lock" in camera to make image selection easier. 
    Is there a way of sorting those images in the finder, the same as "File Name", "File Size", "Date Modified" and such?
    I would like to open ONLY those images that are "Tagged or Locked".  I can see which ones they are but I can't seem to find a way to sort them so I can only open them at once.
    May sound like a newbie question but i'm having a hard time adjusting to a new workflow for a new client.
    Thanks again

    Hi,
    Have you tried this before?
    Right click the .ht file, choose Open with.. and then in More options, scroll down and click Look for another app on your PC. Then locate your Hyperterm excusable file to see if it can work fine.
    If it cannot work, this issue can be caused by lacking of mapping registry keys.
    Please know how the file association work:
    Files are exposed in the Shell as Shell items. To control file associations, application developers can register a mapping between the file type and the handlers (COM objects that provide functionality for the file type's Shell items).
    When the Shell needs to query for the file associations of a file type, it creates an array of registry keys containing the associations for the file type, and checks these keys for the appropriate file associations to use.
    Try following fix:
    1. Double-click on your .ht file, and open it with Notepad
    2. Enter your registry, and navigate to the following key: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ht_auto_file\shell\open\command]
    3. Under the (Default) string, replace the Notepad.exe path with the path of your HyperTerminal application. It should look something like "C:\Program Files (x86)\HyperTerminal\hypertrm.exe"
    4. Double-click your .ht file again. With any luck, it should open in HyperTerminal now.

    I have tryed all the solutions that you have offered, but with no sucsess.
    I have also tryed to contact the support from the AppStore, but I only got the answer please contact our other collegues, from the Technical Support unit.
    I tryed as the last atemped to reinstall Lion 10.7 through the AppStore (by going to purchases) after I went through the process, downloading and installing, I could also purchase, download and install Mountainlion.
    (one small hick-up, after I finished downloading Lion, the AppStore gave me the same Message as before:
    The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.
    I just pressed the button to download, again. After that I had no more issues.)
    I hope that this will help you.
    Best Regards
    Rene
    Hello,
    In my case, that would not be possible since before the message I have got , the system said
    "We could not complete your App Store request" or something similar.  And the only choice I had, is to click on OK button. As I said, the only way I found is to start from Mac OS 10.6 to succeed in buying, not only downloading, but simply buying Mountain Lion.
    Best Regards from France

  • Why cant i see previews of my DNG in finder (on Mac), I can see previews of my original raw camera files but not when I use lightroom to convert to DNG.

    s

    I am guessing that Apple is responsible for DNG decoding, now, rather than Adobe, although Adobe should still be responsible for keeping their website up-to-date, and not have dead-end pages without any explanation.
    From what I remember, there were some cameras with lens corrections built-in that Apple refuses to show DNG previews of—the DNG Version was too new, but it wouldn’t hurt to check and see if there is a Apple Camera update in case they have fixed this.

  • Mountain Lion won't display .MTS files from camera SD card in the finder

    OS Mountain Lion will not show .MTS files from my camera SD card in the finder.
    I don't want to play them. I just need to see a list of the files so that I can copy them off the card onto a hard drive. I know how to convert them.
    I have a Panasonic High Def video camera that records .MTS files.
    I understand how to convert MTS files for editing in Final Cut Pro. It is not a problem. I have  been doing this with no problems using OS 10.7.5
    I plug in my camera, and the SD card shows up as a hard drive in my finder. I click on the hard drive icon and it opens several folders. DCIM, MISC, PRIVATE.
    I click on the PRIVATE folder and subfolders open. I click on the AVCHD folder, and then go down to STREAMING, and there are the MTS files.  I select them and import them into BIGASOFT video converter and convert them to .MOV files, which I can edit in FCP.
    So that works great in OS 10.7.5
    Here is my problem:
    On my new MacBook Pro with OS10.8.3 I plug in the camera. It reads the SD card.
    I see the folder DCIM and I see the folder MISC. But the PRIVATE folder (where the .MTS files reside) shows up as a QuickTime icon.  I click on that, but the MTS files do not show up.
    I don’t need to play the MTS files. I don’t need to know how to convert them. I can do that.
    I right clicked on the PRIVATE (not folder but QT icon) and selected "show package contents." That gave me another list, with an icon for AVCHD, but when I right clicked again and selected "show package contents" the MTS files would not appear.
    I just need to be able to see as a list and copy them on to a hard drive.  Why does Apple make this so hard? 

    STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS TO RECOGNIZE AND IMPORT MTS FILES. (No help from Apple.)
    After 4 frustrating hours and about 40 useless minutes wasted on Apple Support chat, I figured this out.
    Okay, here are the steps to allow Mountain Lion to see your MTS files on a Panasonic camera SD card and import them:
    Click on your camera SD card.
    RIGHT Click on PRIVATE icon. (This used to be a folder, now it is a Quicktime logo.)
    Pull down command for “Show Package Contents”
    Click on AVCHD
    Pull down command for “Show Package Contents”
    Click on BDMV
    Pull down command for “Show Package Contents”
    Open the folder called STREAM
    There are your MTS files. Select them and copy them to a folder on your hard drive.
    Purchase some type of video converter (I paid 30 bucks for Bigasoft Converter and it works.)
    Import the MTS files into the video converter and set the commands (This is several more steps, which you will have to figure out.) This will take quite a while for large, High Def files.
    Save converted files to your hard drive.
    NOW, finally FCP X will let you import and edit your files.
    Thanks Apple for adding 12 steps where it should take one. “Log and Transfer” or IMPORT.  You should fix this.
    It took me about 4 hours of frustration to figure this out. Apple support chat service was no help at all. The girl in chat had no understanding of video files.
    Thank you Apple, for hiding these files behind your Quicktime logo, thanks for adding extra steps and decreasing productivity. I've been using Macintosh computers since 1987. I would not own a PC, but Apple is not what it used to be. Why would you not just let the .MTS files show without hiding them?
