Convert .mv4 file into something useable?

Hey,
I want to know if I can convert a .mv4 format file into something I can edit on FCP? It keeps telling me to use itunes to view the file but I want to edit it. So can it be done? And how can I do it without losing quality?
Thanks

hey, i do video editing and i work with vob files i took the advice and got the mpeg streamclip download as mentioned, works great. But when i import files into final cut for editing the clip is not accompanied by any sound. in the clips window there is know little speaker icon that normally lets you know there is audio for that clip. The clip was converted properly it plays fine outside of final cut, but only the video plays once i import it, why is there no speaker icon after import what can i do.

  • How to convert mkv files into dvd reader compatible format

    Hi there!  that's my first discussion ever in this community. Hope you can help me and I thank you by now for support.
    My question is pretty simple.
    How can I convert a full HD .mkv file into something compatible with DVD readers for home use ( mpeg, avi etc.. ), keeping full HD quality ?
    Assuming that I'm a beginner in codec, video converting operations and all stuff like that....
    1) I'm using OSX 10.8.5  Mountain Lion
    2) I tried using VLC 2.1 but result was pretty bad ( blurry video quality and no sound at all... starting from a perfect mkv source )
    3) I tried with Divx Plus Converter 10 having error 2
    As I will be converting videos rarely I'm looking for a free solution...  Any idea ??
    Thanks

    It could be a 'difficult' form of Matroska file. FYI Matroska is just a container like MOV or AVI, and some mkv have the video encoded with Real Video Codec (RV9 RV10). Perian+QT can't decode this, but VLC will play .mkv files just fine on OS X, as long as they don't use H.264!
    It's a bit of a lottery until Matroska decide to support the Apple platform. I have found this:
    http://mkv4mac.free.fr/index.php?lang=en&p=lec
    which may help.
    But there may be another workaround: 1. Get Info the mkv file
    2. Change to extension to wmv. Save as wmv and that could work better.
    Recently, a poster (ZachP14) suggested this:
    "There's a program called Plex that runs .mkv files awesome on my 2.0 ghz macbook."
    http://www.plexapp.com/
    Maybe worth a try?

  • How do I convert an MP4 into something usable in FCP? Please help

    I am very annoyed. Compressor is something I have. But apparently it's not set up intelligently AT ALL. You'd think it would be quite easy to convert a file into PRORES or HD. I have been looking all over, it's like they are hiding it from us Anyway rant over.
    I need to include an mp4 video in a project I am making. MP4 does not work in FCP. I am not trying to download new software. I have FCP and compressor. Is this possible with these 2 softwares? And how do I do it step by step?
    Thanks very much in advance for all help.

    Open up Compressor
    At the far right end of the menu bar you 'll see the item "HELP".
    Click on it.
    From the drop down menu, Select "Compressor Help"
    When it opens, Select "Compressor Manual"
    When it opens, Select "Getting Started Quickly"

    Hello All,

    MS-Word formats (DOC) are notorious for not being standardized from one version to another, so what ever you get will be version specific. If you must do the conversion, I suggest you do a MS-Script in Word to do it or one of the .Net languages. As stated the Word format from version to version is not standardized.

  • Acrobat XI Pro successfully installed, but it failed in converting word files into PDF, why?

    I just installed Adobe XI Pro through the download assistant, it looks the installation went well, but when I tried to convert word files into PDF (tried many times), it failed. Anyone has the same problems, any solutions?

    Please reply with more information - what your operating system is, do you have Office installed, and what exactly is happening. Is there an error message, does the application crash, and from where are you starting the conversion (using Word and PDFMaker, using Acrobat's Create button, or batch processing).

  • I have an old file with an .A4P video from 1999. I don't own any Adobe products (and don't really want to buy any). I just want to be able to convert the file to something that I can actually view. Any help?

    I have an old file with an .A4P video from 1999. I don't own any Adobe products (and don't really want to buy any). I just want to be able to convert the file to something that I can actually view. Any help?
    I was a kid when I made a documentary for a school project. I've been trying to figure out how to retrieve the file. 4 years ago, I was able to get the files off the Iomega Zip drive (finally), but I now see the file is saved as a .A4P. There is also a file saved as a .PKG as well, but I don't know how to open this with my Windows 8 COmputer.

    .a4p is an Authorware v.4 (Windows) project.
    Interesting you have it as a .pkg...usually that's a published-on-a- Mac extension, if I recall.
    At any rate, can you put the file up on a Box, Dropbox, FTP, etc...and send me a URL?
    I should be able to published it so you can view the project (it would be an .exe).
    It can't be converted to anything though - not without manual effort.

    How to convert jpeg files into Word

    Hi Eugene,
    I don't think you can convert an image to a Word document, but you could place the JPEG into a Word document using the Insert > Object command in Word.
    For other questions relating to Word, you will probably have more luck getting an answer if you post on the Microsoft forums (we can help if you're using Acrobat, or another Adobe product, but you'll find the Word experts on the Microsoft forums.)

  • Have converted pdf file into a word document. How do I engage the edit option?

    Have converted pdf file into a word document. How do I engage the edit option?
    jnicholasperkins@

    Not stupid you! To, from PDF--it gets confusing!
    To edit a PDF file, you need to use Acrobat. Depending on how much work needs to be done to the PDF, it may make sure sense to edit in Word, and then reconvert to PDF. Acrobat doesn't function as a word processor, so while limited changes to the text should be fine, extensive updates may not yield the results you're looking for.
    That said, if you don't have Acrobat, you are welcome to try it for free for 30 days. For more information, see www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.

  • I can't Convert midi files into any other format

    A few months ago, I was able to convert midi files into mp3 when one day, I updated iTunes using software update. Ever since the updates I had for my Mac it still hasn't work.
    It has this error that won't allow me to convert. I talked to my friend wrldwzrd89 who is one of my friends and he said that it is because Apple had a piece of data missing allowing midis to be converted to mp3, or any other format.
    Is this true or do you know the solution?

    I can't tell you the exact reason why it doesn't work, but there is an article about this problem and a solution if you have QuickTime Pro:
    iTunes: MIDI files cannot be converted in iTunes 6.0.3 and 6.0.4
    Not the last sentence in the article. That usually means they're working on a fix.
    No guarantee that it will be fixed in the next version however. We'll have to wait and see.
    Hope this helps.

    How do I convert à PDF file into my dairy?

    If I understand whatnyounare asking (and not sure I do), you may have a difficult time accomplishing that. Calendar app doesn't store documents and I don 't know of an app that will extract text from a PDF and place it in a calendar entry automatically. Check the app store - I could be wrong - but you will have to handle that manually.
    Many apps that read PDF will allow you to copy text, including GoodReader mentioned above.
