Can't import .mov file into DVDSP

I'm taking a series of finished FCP7 clips into Compressor, and exporting them as "YouTube Sharing" QuickTime files (for use on the Web). I want to create a DVD using these same files, but when I try to import them into DVD Studio Pro I get an "Incompatible Format" error message.
How can I do this?

Yes.
You can either use the "Export to compressor" feature in FCP, or export a "current setting"-quicktime from FCP and then encode in Compressor. Use the 90 mins. preset to create the MPEG-2 and AC3 files.

How can I import .mov file into dvd studio pro?

Hi,
I have a .mov file and want to but a dvd with menu and chapters. But when I try to import the .mov file into dvd studio pro it says Incompatible format. How can I import my .mov file in to dvd studio pro?

Two ways…
Transcode into a codec like Pro Res, import into DVDSP and let it do the encoding.
Or better yet:
Import into Compressor, choose a DVD preset and let Compressor encode. It will make two files, separate video and audio files. Import those into DVDSP.
Good luck.

Can't import mov files into Final Cut Pro

I can't seem to import some .mov files into FCP. The codecs showing in "info" for the files are DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, Linear PCM, Timecode. I have other files which I can import into FCP and they show the exact same codecs in their info page. I have no trouble opening either in Quicktime.

What is the origin of these files? You may want to use QT or Compressor to re-encode them to the same codec. Possbily they are very old QT versions. But yes, where did they originate from?

Can't Import Mov file into Ppro CS4

I have imported all sorts of mov files but one is from a SONY V1 and won't import. I get an error message saying there is a codec missing. In VLC player it takes along time to play and it says the codec is MPEG-1/2 video (mpgv), 1440x1080, 29.97. In QT player the video is black but the audio is fine. How can I import this into Ppro?

Do you have QT Player Pro (US$30 upgrade/unlock)? If so, load the file, and hit Ctrl+J for the properties panel. QT Player has a limited properties screen, but I do not recall the keystroke. Also, QT Player Pro, if it will play the file, can also Export to other formats/CODEC's, and I use it for that purpose often.
Also, the free MediaInfo might do better, than G-Spot.
Without knowing the exact CODEC, looking for it might prove difficult.
Also, VLC comes with a bunch of internal players and CODEC's, so it can play stuff, that will not work in other apps., which require the installed CODEC's. There are several Apple-only CODEC's, that do not have any PC counterpart. In that case, you'd need to Open that file on a Mac, with the proper CODEC, and then Export (basically converting) it to another format/CODEC.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - here is an ARTICLE, that might offer a bit more background on CODEC's.

Can't import .mov file into iMovie

I have a video clip in .mov format that won't seem to import so that I can edit it. I'm a guy who's worked with windows for years and I am Mac illiterate. Is there a reason why I can't import the clip, but it still plays in quicktime?
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Hi Solace,
welcome to this forum
to give you some background info for better understanding in the future:
the file extension".mov" is a bit irritating, should NOT be translated with "movie"! a .mov is just a socalled container, it can contain (sic) many kind of media: stills, music, VR...- and for sure video.
just to impress you, have a look in this list:
Apple's list of formats supported by QT
iMovie is an edit-app meant to work with firewire-connected miniDV camcorders..... you can import "other" files&formats, but then it gets a bit tricky....
so, my usual guess, you're trying to import some mpegs (contained in a .mov file, you don't read .mpg as suffix.....)
some very good advices here, in plain english:

have fun with your Mac!

I've seen where you've helped a lot of people and hopefully you can help me as I'm stumped. I have a Canon Vixia HFS200 and having trouble getting some movie clips to import from SD card. In the past, if a 'still' pic is taken on the same card, iMovie won't recognize anything as being importable. If I deleted the photos, I was able to import without a problem but this time, there are no stills on the card but still doesn't recognize anything importable, even though there are 140 or so .MTS files.
I've tried a conversion software that I was able to view them but had the company logo over the top. I wasn't sure if there was a way to manually or 'force' them to import? Appreciate any suggestions.

Can't import movie files into iMovie

OK so I used MPEG Streamclip to convert my Costco .vop files to .dv files and iMovie still gives me the msg: This file could not be copied:
ShoreWedding8:67 1.1.dv 001
( Error code: -37 )
What kind of files does iMovie want? The posts I've read here all indicated .dv Frustration abounds

Apparently this thread talks a little bit about DV including a workaround of some kind.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1795061&tstart=0
Also I believe the reference to AIC is the Apple Intermediate Codec.
One thing to remember is that the eventual viewing of the material may never need the full HD quality (not to say you shouldn't care about keeping the best quality up to the end) if for instance you make a DVD video you will be limited to that mediums quality limitations and not get HD quality out of the output result. If you are viewing on a standard def tv you are even below the DVD threshold. That being said maybe it is better to go with one of the working DV formats for iM08 if that makes sense for you.

Importing mov files into iMovie events

Hi
This is my first post ever on this site. Here goes!
I am new to iMovie, but have had someone more experienced trying to help but to no avail!
I am trying to import mov files into iMovie Events. However in the file menu there is no "events' option, so I chose 'Import Movies'. But ultimately when I click on the mov files they are greyed out.
The version of iMovie I have is iMovie '08 - 7.1.4
When I first opened iMovie it offered to update to the latest version, but in the end it said 'No updates available'. When I looked into this in the Apple Store, it said you need Mac OSX 10.7 or above to get the latest version. My Mac is 10.6.8, so won't support the latest version. However, can I not still use the version I have? What is wrong here?
Any help much appreciated - thanks.
Ermina.

If you don't get an answer here, you might want to post your question in the iMovie discussion here.

Hi Appleman - thanks for your guidance.
OK RealTime Inspector: Dimensions of my clips - as I don't know which bit this is I will list everything under Inspector, including Format:
00117
00117
33.30
Format:MPEG-4 Video, 1280 x 720 millions
AAC, 2channels, 44100Hz
FPS29.97
Data Size2.57GB
Data Rate 10.20 Mbits/s
Current size 1280 x 720 pixels (Actual)
And re the types of tracks you mention that iMovie '08 can't import, I don't much about film clips so haven't yet made sense of this, tho I do see that the clips are organised into chapters, so presumably this is 'chapter tracks'?
Thanks - I'll await your further instructions :-)

How can I import vob files into imovie 09?

You might want to look at this one too. Very easy to use and it doesn't require the Apple MPEG-2 playback component.

Import mov files into premiere pro cc windows

Hi
to import mov files into premiere pro cc 64bit ,windows 8.1 64bit pro do i need Quicktime pro or quicktime alternative ?
because when i try to import a mov file i got this error
thanks
i remember cs6 was able to import it
i have never installed quicktime pro

Your question simply cannot be answered definitively for a given clip because it's the codec that matters, not the wrapper/file extension.
As of one of the 7.x releases, Premiere implemented native support for decoding some codecs within a QuickTime file. But that native support does not extend to the entire universe of codecs that can be stuffed into the wrapper.
So you can either report the codec or simply install QT and see if that enables PPro to import the clip.

I shot video on a Panasonic P2 and I'm trying to import the MXF files to Final Cut Pro but when I try to import, the only thing that imports is a blurry image of each clip. There's no audio and no video...how can I import MXF files into Final Cut Pro?

at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
vs
using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.

Can I import html files into Buzzword?

Can I import html files into Buzzword?

Thank you for your post.
Buzzword lets you import Microsoft Word (DOC, DOCX), plain text (TXT), Rich Text Format (RTF), Word 2003 XML, and Open Document Format (.odt) files. (Font substitution and other formatting changes sometimes occur on import, depending on the content of the document.) You'll need to convert your HTML file to one of the supported file types before importing to Buzzword.
