Can someone help with Import question?

Don't laugh at my imovie version! I have 300 gigs of edited iMovie files that were originally brought into a Mac on 9.2 with iMovie 2.1.1!
The files are on 3 separate hard drives: Maxtor and 2 EZquests. This Mac would boot to system 10 and I could work with all 3 hard drives and all the files. Now when I boot to System 10, it is 10.4.7 and iMOvie 4.0.1. The files are all grayed out if I try to import except for he older Maxtor files are still usable. But not the two EzQuest which I need!
I need to convert the imovie files to .avi and do not see this as an option on imovie 2.1.1 I have them all in Qtime 7 but they do not convert with very good quality to .avi.
I am not clear why I can no longer open/import them. They are on the same original external hard drives but the system and/or iMovie may have been updated. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
prea

Forget any iMovie version as any export (Export Settings) to AVI will still use the ancient Cinepak compressor.
They will look better than your already compressed QuickTime .mov files but you'll get better results creating MPEG-1 files from them and avoid the AVI container.
I suggest you invest in Toast (http://roxio.com). For about $80 you can create VCD or SVCD files that are really MPEG-1 files. The conversion is fairly fast and you don't actually need to "burn" the CD. Just drag the blah.DAT from the image to the Desktop and change the file extension to .mpg
In your iMovie folders are .dv files of your clips. Use them as the source files in Toast and join or edit them using the free MPEG Streamclip app.

    Because it doesn't have a main method.Plus, I don't know if it counts, but StackMachine and IntStack have no constructors...

  • Can someone help with importing video from Canon XA10 (AVCHD) into PE 11?

    In PE 11 when I import video from my canon xa10 (avchd) the quality is terrible, I also have a canon xa20, 60D and gopro that I video with and they all turn out with great video quality.  Is there a reason why the xa10 video quality is bad? Setting I need to change?

    Thanks for the follow up.
    In Premiere Elements 11 and 12 takes over setting the project preset based on the properties of the first file drag to the Timeline. Sometimes it does it right; sometimes not. You can check what the project has set by using the readings from Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size, and Pixel Aspect Ratio even if the fields look grayed out. If the project preset is set for NTSC AVCHD Full HD1080p30, then the Edit Menu/Project Settings/General should be as represented in the following screenshot
    Please refer to setting the project preset yourself manually and then importing the source media into the project.

    1. yes
    2. yes
    3. No. DVD players can't play BluRay discs -- even if they are burned to a DVD disc.
    4. 1080p50 is a perfectly legitimate mode for shooting, particularly if you're shooting video with a lot of action, since it has double the actual frames of 1080i50. However, your output video may or may not actually have 50p frames (or even be 1920x1080), depending on what form of media you're publishing as. The BluRay files that Premiere Elements outputs, for instance are 50i.

  • Background image seems to be applied twice Can someone help with this CSS issue....

    Can someone help with this CSS issue....
    http://66.162.81.144/cms400min/default.aspx
    If you view the main page you will see that our background is
    2 shades of
    orange.. if you look at the line that divides those colors to
    the right and
    left you wil notice that the line is higher
    if you notice that it seems that there is another background
    on top of the
    first one..its the only thing i can think of..
    the only place where the image is being referenced is in this
    CSS style
    html, body
    min-height:100%;
    margin-bottom:1px;
    text-align:center;
    background-repeat:no-repeat;
    background-image:url(images/Background-Color2.jpg);
    background-color:#F74902;
    background-position:center;
    background-attachment:fixed;
    Is there something wrong with the above CSS that could or
    would cause this?
    is it because im applying the image to both the HTML and
    BODY?
    ASP, SQL2005, DW8 VBScript, Visual Studio 2005, Visual Studio
    2008

    You've attached the background to both the html and the body.
    I would do this:
    html, body {
    min-height:100%;
    margin-bottom:1px;
    body{
    text-align:center;
    background-repeat:no-repeat;
    background-image:url(images/Background-Color2.jpg);
    background-color:#F74902;
    background-position:center;
    background-attachment:fixed;
    Having said that the image doesn't look any higher on the
    right than the
    left to me in Firefox. Is it just an optical illusion?

  • I need help to activate my iphone 5s. am stuck on the activation page. can someone help with with the icloud activation bypass? how do i even go about it?

    i need help to activate my iphone 5s. am stuck on the activation page. can someone help with with the icloud activation bypass? how do i even go about it?

    You must put in the required information. If you do not have it, you must get it from the original owner of the phone. If you have forgotten your iCloud password, you can reset it at:
    https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid
    There is no such thing as an activation "bypass". Activation Lock is a security feature. It wouldn't be that secure is you could bypass it, wouldn't it?

    Hi JKost,
    This error is usually a "Optical Power Calibration error" and can be caused by software conflicts, a firmware that needs to be updated, or a blank CD that the drive cannot read/write too (Not all drives are compatible with all brands of blank CDs sad to say)
    I tried to look for your exact CD burning model on the dell site for a "Dimension 2400" but didn't see an exact model matching "NEC CD-RW NR-9300A" so if it is a burner that came with the PC when you bought it, you will have to goto the dell site www.dell.com to download the correct firmware update. If its one you had installed after you bought the PC, then goto the NEC site for the update www.NEC.com

  • Can Someone help with SQL for update ?

    Hi,
    can someone help me with this code
    2 tables.
    table 1 = User_master
    table 2 = update_users
    I need to update user_master like so...
    update user_master
    set status = 'I'
    where user_id IN ()
    problem is I have to over 10k user_id to update.
    So created new table called update_users and imported all user_id's into that table.
    How can I read all user_id's from that table, then update user_master status column for all
    users id's found in update_users ?
    I already tried this...
    update p.user_id from user_master p
    set status = 'I'
    where user_id = (select user_id from update_users where p.user_id=user_id)
    It did not work -
    ERROR at line 2:
    ORA-01427: single-row subquery returns more than one row
    Thanks,

    There are no duplicates. Each user_id is unique.Are you sure? the error message indicates otherwise. You might see if the following query returns any rows;
    select user_id, count(*)
    from update_users
    group by user_id
    having count(*) > 1;Also, you might want to post the exact statement that you used to generate the error. The statement that you posted raises an error de to the syntax;
    update p.user_id from user_master p
    set status = 'I'
    where user_id = (select user_id
                     from update_users
                     where p.user_id = user_id)
    ORA-00971: missing SET keywordPerhaps you ran something like;
    select * from user_master;
       USER_ID STATUS
             1 A
             2 A
             3 A
    select * from update_users;
       USER_ID
             1
             2
    update user_master p

  • Can someone help with auto-size fields in forms?

    I created a form in Acrobat for my team members with auto-size text fields that allow to shrink the text when the field size is not large enough to show the entire text. When I then open the same form file with Adobe Reader on my machine with text that has shrunk in some field, I can see all the text and have also a scroll function when the text size has reached its lower limits and there is still more text to show.
    However, when I receive the filled out forms back from other team members' iPads (they use my template created with Acrobat), the text didn't shrink as on a PC version and the scroll function is disabled. I checked the template and the fields are correctly set to auto-size left and they do work on my PC's and laptop's Adobe Reader. But the iPad version of Adobe Reader may cause some issues.
    Can anybody help with solutions?
    Thank you!
    Klaus

    The filled version of your PDF document (20140722 Daily Meeting Report...pdf) is no longer a PDF form because it has been flattened.
    Once an interactive PDF form (such as your template version) is flattened, all form fields are replaced with images of filled data.  You can no longer interact with form fields, edit form data, or tap/click any buttons in the flattened PDF document.  That is the reason why the text in auto-size text fields did not shrink.
    When you email a PDF document (including a PDF form) in Adobe Reader for iOS, the E-mail Document dialog is displayed.
    In this particular case, your team member must have selected "Share Flattened Copy".
    If you would like to keep the interactivity of a PDF form, you can select "Share Original Document".  Please advise your team members to select the "Share Original Document" option when emailing filled forms.
    Unfortunately, once flattened, a PDF document cannot be reverted back to the original "unflattened" state.  However, if your team members still have the original filled forms, they can resend the forms with the "Share Original Document" option.
    Please let us know if you have further questions.

  • Wow can someone help with my ram question

    okay ive been looking to get some more ram for my 12'' g4 powerbook, so with that being said can someone explain what i need exactly, i have no idea what all the ddr and sdram means, so if anyone could help me with explaining stuff to me or helping me find the cheapest ram i they can i would really appriciate it. thanks

    right now it says i have 512 mb of ram, just
    wondering, is there any cheaper ram out there that
    would work?
    So that means you have one 256MB RAM strip in your machine now.
    You want to be cautious about 'cheap' ram. Our Powerbooks are sensitive to the RAM used. Some can meet the printed Apple specs and not work. If you want to dig into the depths of why, google 'powerbook 12" bus slewing" and read the Apple developers note.
    For alternatives, Kingston is at http://www.kingston.com, use their memory selector, and at the end it will give you a half dozen sources to buy from and their prices. Also check OWC at http://www.macsales.com for their Samsung memory.
    You might also search the discussions for any other brands that people have found that worked.
