Can't change my AVI file to DV

I used to be able with Quicktime 6 Pro to change AVi files to DV so I could edit them in iMovie.
I just bought Quicktime 7 Pro & tried to do the same thing & it came up with the error message Failed(-2126)
Why??????

After some Googling, it does appear that Flip4Mac is causing the problem. It appears that once installed it assumes control over the codecs 'msmpeg4v1.component' and 'msmpeg4v2.component' which were probably decoding the VCM before F4M.
The solution should be to remove F4M and install those codecs. Do you have those codecs installed? Look in Library/QuickTime, see what codecs are installed and list them here. Select all the contents of Library/QuickTime, do a copy, and paste them in the 'Post Message: Reply' Window here.
You could try installing this codec pack;
http://www.cs.pdx.edu/~feelgood/opengl/codecs/FFusion.dmg
with the Flip4Mac codecs uninstalled and see if that helps. This codec pack includes the 'msmpeg4v1.component' and 'msmpeg4v2.component' codecs. Basically, you want to go back to the codecs you had installed before Flip4Mac. And you might want to restart the machine after making those changes.
Or you could use ffmpegX to convert the VCM AVI into a high bit rate MPEG4 AVI and then use QT to convert to DV. That appears to be what other people on this forum did in your situation. Do a search for 'VCM Image Codec' on this board and see what you find.
And you might want to Google "-Your Camera make/model- and Macintosh" and see what you find.

How can I add an AVI file to iMovie?

I have iMovie '11. It won't let me add a .AVI file. If I can't add a .AVI file what is the best FREE software to convert it and what should I convert it to? Thanks!

I agree with the Streamclip suggestion for two reasons.
The first is that it is free and works well.
The second is that Streamclip is so essential that if one doesn't have it on one's computer, one is missing a very fascinating piece of software. Free, converts faster than anything Apple uses, and gives you a little window to see the conversion to make sure everything is going ok.

You can copy the contents and paste it into a Word file. Just don't expect everything to transfer or to retain all of the formatting.

Can I change the default 'File Type' for PL/SQL Source File to '*.prc' ?

Want to change the 'default' extension for PL/SQL source to '*.prc'
When navigating 'File' / 'Save As', and selecting the 'File Type' list box,
The default 'File Type' for PL/SQL Source File is '*.pls'.
Can I change the default 'File Type' for PL/SQL Source File to '*.prc' ?
I have followed , 'Tools', 'Preferences' , 'File Types' and added '.prc' as 'Sql Script' file type, because (PL/SQL Source) is not present in the list.

You can certainly overwrite the 'Save As' extension as you are saving the file. I have added an ER for more control over this functionality.

You cant change the font BUT you can change the boring folder image by copying and pasting in the folders 'info'. That is, if you were looking for a way to personalise your mac :-)

I also have CS4 installed, with CS4 I can import this files.
What can I do to solve this?

Hmm . . . comes with a Utility MPEG2 Component ML app with no explanation of what it's for?
The utility app is an "assistant PKG installer." It allows Lion and Mountain Lion users to install the older QT MPEG-2 Playback Component installer PKG file which is not allowed to run on its own under Lion or Mountain Lion since these operating systems already have a QT X only MPEG-2 component embedded in the QT embedded structure. Without this utility you would have to either copy the component from an older system to your Lion or Mountain Lion system, use Pacifist for installation, or manually open the PKG contents and transfer the component to the appropriate component folder.
As to your "discussion" regarding the playback of AVI file types, there are really only two strategies here:
1) You can add component support so that QT can play the files natively or
2) You can convert the file contents to compression formats that are natively compatible with the unmodified QT component configuration.
Each user should decide for his or her own self which approach best suits their needs for a particular source file. In most cases, conforming the system's codec component configuration to play the source file directly results in higher video quality since no transcoding takes place but this strategy will not work if a codec which is required is not available for the user's operating system. On the other hand, converter utilities tend to support more built-in codecs and are easier to use since the user does not have to concern him or herself with the nature of the particular source compression formats but at the risk of some potential loss in visual quality. As to what converter to use, once again this is a matter of personal choice. In the case of commercial converters like iSkysoft, the codecs are built in while MPEG Streamclip accesses the host operating system's QT codec component configuration. I personally prefer the free HandBrake app for AVI, MKV, TS, MTS, and M2TS conversions since it has an exceptionally full-featured X.264 GUI with some user options that 97% of users are likely to never use.

Sapcar returns error "can't change date of file"

I am preparing to apply SPS12 to my ERP6.0 system.
when I run sapcar -xvf "*.?ar", I get the following error:

:-) How can we change the default file path for Bank file ( dmee ) ?

Hi All,
We encounter a problem.
Electronic bank file ( created after a F110 run ) are created, in an automatic way to the DIR_TEMP directory. ( On the SAP server )
How can we change the default file path for Bank files ( dmee ) ?
We'd like to specify another path.
Thx for your help.
Erwan

Hello,
Make sure that you have created the directory in transaction code AL11 with the help of basis consultants.
You can link your PC directory to the application server.
You can maintain the path whether your file needs to get saved in OBPM4 against your DMEE structure example GB_BACS etc.
If you do not maintain any path in OBPM4, then the file gets saved to temporary directory. If you give the directory path name in OBPM4, then the file gets saved to that directory with numbers 0001, 0002, 0003 etc till it reaches 9999 and reset from the beginning.
If you give the path as well as file name as ABCD, then the file gets generated to that directory folder with ABCD0001, ABCD0002, ABCD0003 etc. till it reaches ABCD9999 and reset from the beginning.
Hope this solves your problem.
Regards,
Ravi

Can I change a PDF file to a pages file?

Can I change a PDF file to a pages file?

You can extract the text In Preview .app from a PDF file and Copy/Paste it into Pages.
Acrobat Pro can convert a .pdf into a Word .doc which you can then open in Pages, but it is quite a slow process, depending how large the .pdf is.
PDFs are not necessarily composed of text and images, they may only be images and any text they have is not actually freeflowing text. It takes a degree of programming trickery to work out what text fits where, especially if it is columns. You need to review it after to check it is what you expected.
If all you want is to see the pdf/s in Pages just drag it in, it is just an image. If it has multiple pages, then open it in Preview and copy over the thumbnails.

How can I change the source file so it is direct from external hard drive?

I am trying to make a movie on imovie of a snowboarding trip that I went on, there is around 80 to 100 gig of mp4 movies that will not fit on my computer that I have stored on my external harddrive. I had the movie half finished then found I could do no more as I had no space left in my mac. I had to delete everything and start again but I'm not doing this until I can find a way of changing the source file so I can take them direct from my external hard drive as to not use up all my computers available space. I have moved imovie to my external hard drive but it still tries to read from a movie file on my mac, how can I change that so it will read from a source file on my external hard drive, is it possible?? Can someone help me??

Hi Bengt, Thanks for your input, much appreciated.
I have a WD 1TIG hard drive and are using usb connection, is it possible to use fire wire with these? I have had trouble with a lot of the videos I Imported, once they downloaded the file in the viewer window showed up blank and when I mouse over them it places a picture of another file in the window and wont drag and drop into the movie window, like their corrupted or something? Had to delete just about all of them and start again. Also is it possible to select a bunch of videos in the viewer window as to change the dates to the correct dates? All I have been able to do is "select all" which is no help.
