Can you help, please?  Time sensitive question about import quality.

Hi,
Didn't get an answer the first time, so with a little more research on my part I discovered that:
Video clips shot with my S95 Powershot, imported automatically into iPhoto then into iMovie, are 1280x720 H.264, Linear PCM, and look fantastic. Same scene clips shot with a Canon Vixea videocam, are imported automatically into iMovie and become 960x540, Apple Intermediate Codec, Linear PCM, and look pretty bad. Is there any way to get the video camera clips to import as H.264 quality files? Is it something to do with how the still camera imports first into iPhoto, or is it just that the still camera is much better than the videocam? Sorry I'm a newbie to all of this.
The thing is, if it's the camera'a fault, I still have a week to return it and get my money back.
thanks very much!
Josh

When you have your ipod plugged in select it from the source list (on the left where the songs are). The first item should be 'launch itunes when...[you plug it in]' turn that off.
Not sure..looking at the mac version.
Good Luck,

  • My macbook pro 2010 extremely noisy and a warning flashed on the screen about a power or battery issue- can you help please?

    My macbook pro 2010 has started getting extremely noisy in the last few months and I had a strange warning flash up on the screen a month or so ago about a power or battery issue… can you help please?

    Calibrating a 2010 MBP is not required.  All it will achieve is putting an unnecessary cycle on it and shortening its life:

    You may try a SMC reset:

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

    i am currently using final cut pro 6 and i have a problem that i can not to do a play out to the dvcam but i can record from the dvcam, can you help please?

    I believe there is no  "Export to Tape"  feature as appeared in legacy FCP.
    SORRY! Just noticed you are using FCP 6.
    You need to ask this question in the Final Cut Studio forum.

    Who's your carrier?
    What country are you in?
    Was it from a shop or a personal deal?
    If your phone doesn't function on the cellular network, goto the carrier first

  • HT4101 i have purchased a lightning to sd card plugged it into my ipad but i cannot open the photos can you help please.

    Hi i have purchased a lightning to sd card but i cannot get the photos to open can you help please.

    How did the photos get onto the SD card that you are using ? Photos (and videos) on the card will only be recognised if the card has a DCIM directory off the root of it, and the photos are underneath that directory and their filenames are exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus their file extension (that should be how most digital cameras write photos to a card).
