Can you import the video from an AVCHD Disc into FCP7  for editing?

Can the video from an AVCHD Disc be imported into FCP 7 for re-editing if you have a normal Superdrive burner?
The reason I ask is because last night our film-making club gave a show of short videos to some guests.
At the end it was decided to put them all on one DVD to send to the visitors as a memento.
However, some of the films were on AVCHD discs and I queried whether they could be copied, even in standard definition.
The "copier" said it was no problem as he had a PC and had done it before . . . . . cheeky devil!
So can it be done . . . . . on a PC or a Mac . . . . with a standard burner?
I have just tried but nothing in the BDMV folder can be imported.

GOT IT!
Copy the BDMV folder from the AVCHD disc to the desktop.
Use HandBrake to convert the .m2ts files to H.264
Then convert the H.264 files to an editable format.
Rather convoluted process but it works.
Anyone know a better method?

  • Can you import movie videos from SD camera card

    Can you import movie videos (MP4) into an Ipad from an SD camera card on a Lightning cable ... or can you only do this from a laptop via Itunes? In other words, is Itunes the only way to get non-Itune videos to the Ipad? Hope I havent made this sound confusing.

    To import the videos must follow a very strict naming convention.
    All file names must have 8 characters for a name and be located in a folder named DCIM
    for example
    DCIM
    MOV_5789.mp4
    You can't watch the videos off the cart, they must be imported into the iPad. They'll go into the camera roll, when you tap on them it'll open the video app and you can watch from there.

  • I can't import HD video from Samsung OIS Duo into FCP. However, I can see the video with QT. In FCP, I just see a red bad with a yellow triangle (warning). Can someone help me. The video are Full HD 1080/60i?

    I can't import my HD videos (MP4) from my Samsung OIS Duo into FCP.
    However, I can see the video with QuickTime.
    In FCP, I just see a red box with a yellow triangle at the center(warning). Can someone help me. The video are Full HD 1080/60i.
    I also try converting from MP4 to DV. Cannot import the .DV either.
    Can someone help me?

    Could it be the case that you have "proxy media" selected in the preferences (under Final Cut Pro -> Preferences, click on "Playback" and see which is selected, proxy or optimized), BUT you are not creating proxy media when importing?
    If that is the case, either
      - switch to "original/optimized media",
    or
      - create the proxy media (control-click the clip(s) in the event browser, choose "Transcode media" e check the box for "create proxy media").

  • Can i import the video from a camrecorder with only a USB connection?

    Hi, I am very new and may i ask some silly questions? I was using an very old DV camcorder with a firewire connection and it worked fine with my Mac, but now I want to buy a new camcorder and i found that the models I like do not have the firewire links, only they have the USB, the models with the firewire links are very old styles.... can anyone tell me what to do with only the USB link? thanks!

    Panasonic HD camcorder, HDC-SD1
    Advanced High Definition (AVCHD) isn't supported by Apple you will encounter editing limitations wait for the apple software to catch up with this format.
    Panasonic SDR-H250
    Panasonic's hard disk model, 3CCD, MPEG2
    the only thing this cam has going for it is the 3CCD, converting the already compressed mpeg2 video to the DV format for iMovie will result in an additional lost in quality an will be time comsuming (not to mention the extra app(s) neede for the conversion.
    ) you'll need for the conversion .
    Here's what I'd do. I'd purchase a solid mini DV cam with all the bells and whistles and wait for the dusk to clear on the all new/problematic formats. In the process saving $400 - $500.
    Don't become all hyped up with the marketing crap for these new cams. Sony Vegas 7 is the only app I know of that just recently updated to handle the AVCHD format. And until comsumers start burning HD DVDs whats the point. A good mini DV cam will still be viable a couple of years down the road and todays new cams will be cheaper and better.
    Here's a sweet cam that will allow you to take videos and edit them in no time.
    Sony DCR-HC96,
    Analog-to-Digital Converter, external Microphone Input
    Analog Audio/Video Input(s) just to mention a few of the most sought after features.
    You can find this cam on the web (eg. amazon.com) for about $500.
    Then again that's just what I'd do, other my have different advice/suggestions.
    Hope this info is of some use.

  • How can I put the Video from a bad DVD into iDVD and to a new DVD?

    I have a DVD (homemade, no copy protection) and it was created with primitive menu software. Is there a way to take the Video_TS folder and put it onto iDVD 08 and make a new DVD from it? The old DVD no longer plays in my home DVD player and I want to make a decent menu for it etc.

    Toast is a better option for you.
    But if you really need the fancy menus of iDvd and whatnot, then you'll need to find a way to convert the mpeg 2 files to QuickTime for importing into i-apps. This app may help:

    1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
    * On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). <br />

    We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube? The Moodle upload interface is expecting a file selection dialog box like windows or OSX. I do not want to have to go through an intermediary step of messing with a pc.
    Thanks!

    It should be around 7 and a half gigs. In iTunes, across the bottom there should be a bar that show how much storage is being used and by what. (music, movies, apps, etc.) To make music take up less room, you can check the box to make it convert the music to 128kbps AAC. This lowers the quality, but with most earbuds and speakers, you can't even tell the difference.
    The iPod touch has parental controls built in. You'll find them in Settings. I think they only work for enabling/disabling Safari, Mail, YouTube, and App Store. Here's an app that does more: http://www.mobicip.com/online_safety/ipod_touch

    Hi,
    iChat will set up a Video chat window that takes in to account your Processor speed and Internet Speed and to some extent the Buddy's speed.
    This then denotes the pixel content of each frame.
    OS X 10.6.x tells me this is iChat 5 which in turn mean you have  at least an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor.
    This should be capable of 30 frames a sec at  about 640 X 480 pixels  (Check the Connection Doctor (Video Menu) and the Statistics tab during a Chat).
    iChat 5 cannot do HD  (Max of 4:3 ratio at the above figures)
    After that it depends how you are recording the chat.
    Quicktime X would do it.
    iChat will do it itself (if the Buddy agrees)
