Can't see video picture with digital camera connected to Mac.

Hi,
I just bought a Sony DSC-S650 digital camera and shot a 1 minute video. When I plug it into my iMac intel Core 2 Duo it imports into iPhoto and when I got to play it I get sound perfectly but no picture. The digital camera shoots in .avi so when it shows up in Quicktime it is in .avi format. The Quicktime dialogue box comes up and says I am missing some things and directs me to this other page with all these XVid and different players on there. I've loaded a few of them but still no picture showing up. Is there a specific one I should try or any other ideas?
I'm having no problem importing regular photos into iphoto just the video part.
Thanks,
S.

The difficulty with the avi format is that it's really a hold all for a wide range of codecs.
Some things to try:
Have you checked with Sony for an updated driver for for Camera?
Try install Perian
Make sure that your Quicktime is up-to-date - it's at 7.1.5 now.

  • Can I store video files (from digital camera) on my 30GB ipod?

    I'm leaving next week for holidays and I am looking for a storage device. I don't want to take my laptop with me as it is my employers. I want to be able to store video files from my Sony DSC-W30 camera. Does anyone know if the camera connection will work for this?

    Well in case anyone was wondering. It works. You can't view them but they are all there. It is an excellent way to have digital storage device on the road. It does eat into the battery charge quite a bit though. Make sure it is well charged before you import photo's and video's.

  • Help mov files can not be viewed, created with digital camera

    My vacation vids where made with a panasonic lumix z7 camera. the files sizes are 158000, 175000,168000,225457. they all are named my the camera and end with .mov. quicktime does not know what theses files are. windows does not see these files as quicktime files and nothing can read them. i do not know what the camera did to corrupt these videos. Can anyone help me with these files. Is there a way to repair them? please help me if you can.
    file names are p1010816.mov etc

    I updated the program, and my pics were still there, but they could'nt be viewed in full...just thumbnails.
    What could you see? A ! ? Or a ? Or just a plain black or white screen?
    I cannot add JPG's to iPhoto.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Why is my lock screen blurry? I can't see the picture with ios 7.2

    my lock screen is bluury, the picture i set is bluury with 7.0.2

    Or try this if the reset doesn't work.
    Quit the app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Where are my pictures i can not see my pictures with the new update Yosemite

    iPhoto not compatible with the new update yosemite

    I would be very careful, I selected the upgrade photos and now I have a 200GB library file but no way to access the photos, it appears to be something to do with the 10.10.2 upgrade and the use of an external Thunderbolt drive to store my photos on, but I am nearing desperation in trying to get back my years of photos (last effective backup - despite having time machine turned on) - appears to be 2012.
    This thread seems to have the most information
    Yosemite, iPhoto 9.6 upgrade, large photo library is not recognised.
    But it is outrageous that a 'minor' upgrade that was not meant to be about iPhoto could have such drastic outcomes.  It must be relating to the file service changes they were doing or the work they were preparing for the new photo app - either way, not happy!

  • Can't see Video on iPhone in iPhoto

    I have transferred a 16 minute video shot on my iPad onto my iPhone 6 (via Airdrop).
    I now wish to transfer it from my iPhone onto my iMac, using iPhoto.
    However the video, is not showing up as being on my iPhone under iPhoto!
    Can someone please exlain why and/or how I can transfer my video?

    With the iPhone connected to your iMac launch Image Capture.  You should be able to see all photos and videos on your iPhone.  Select the video and download to a folder on the Desktop.  Then import into iPhoto from there.
    Is the video displayed in your Camera Roll?

  • Can I take a picture with my Mac?

    Can I take a selfie with the camera on my Mac?

    Yes. Look in the Applications folder for Photobooth. (It may already be on the dock.)
    Double click to open it. When you are ready to take a shot, click the red camera icon below the picture.

    Not sure what you mean. You can import video into I Movie either via your USB slot if it is already in digital format or via your fire wire slot (you may need an adapter as the MAC slot is a mini slot, the adapters are available on line) if you are coming from tape based media.

    You should get the mobile version of YouTube which sends Firefox a notice to open it in the YouTube App. That will have a much better playback experience than running Flash in the browser.

  • I am attempting to convert 8mm video cassettes to dvd using a video cassette player, elgato video capture with rca/usb connections to the mac, editing in imovie and burning on idvd. The picture quality is awful. What can I do?????

    I am attempting to convert 8mm video cassettes to dvd using a video cassette player, elgato video capture with rca/usb connections to the mac then editing in imovie and burning dvd-r using idvd. The picture quality is awful. What can I do??????

    At what point is the video quality bad?  Is it bad on capture?  I would recommend using an s-video 1394 firewire converter instead.  They capture the video at a higher bit rate.  If you have a lot of 8mm tapes to capture, invest in a stand alone DVD recorder.  They capture and compress in one shot.  If you need to rip it back from the DVD into iMovie again, I would recommend using DVDxDV.

    When I touch "photos" the heading "Albums" is covering 'camera roll' and I can't see my pictures.  What do I do to  fix this?

    Hi Susan. Try a reset: Push and hold the Sleep/On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. Release buttons.

  • I can not synchronize the videos taken with my camera from my PC to IPad

    Hello everybody, I have a problem, I can not synchronize the videos taken with my camera from my PC to IPad (sorry, in my last question I put iPhone but is iPad )

    Are they in a compatible format ? The iPad natively supports (from here)
    Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
    If your camera's videos aren't in any of those formats then you will either need to find a third-party app that doesor a PC program that can convert them prior to syncing. If you can get them into your computer's iTunes via File > Add To Library but they don't sync, then have you tried Advanced > Create iPad Version and then syncing those versions ?
