Converting .MOI file formats to be importable by iMovie?

Can anyone advise how I might edit a video from a Panasonic SDR-H40 Cam Corder in iMovie 11? The files are easily copied onto the Macbook Air. There's a .MOD file (video) and .MOI (audio). The .MOD imports after changing the extension to .MPG but I can't get .MOI file in ????
I can edit the Video but can't add any of the voice track created.

The file needs to be demuxed or converted. Use MPEG Streamclip. The audio is multiplexed in the MPEG file. The MOI is not audio. It's metadata.

What movie file formats can be imported into iMovie?

Can you directly import .avi, mpeg or .mov files? What about a Quicktime movie file? Just trying to figure out which file format iMovie will accept. I have a movie that was edited on Adobe Premiere and want to make sure I export the movie in the correct format.
Thanks.

keep in mind: avi nor mov are 'formats', just media wrappers = box of chocolate, you'lll never know ...
stay within normal video standards, such as 1080i or 720p, 25/29.97fps ... mov encoded with h264 should be fine.
and avoid fancy stuff such as surround, Dolby 5.1., 3D ........

Is an 8.7GB file too big to import into iMovie 9?

Is an 8.7GB file too big to import into iMovie 9? I am using iMovie 8.0.6 on a Macbook Pro running OS 10.6.8 on 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 GB Memory. I can't get my movie file to import into iMovie...any advice would be much appreciated!

When you import into iMovie, your video is converted into DV format. This uses 13 GB per hour of video. So the first thing you have to do is make sure you have 26 GB free on your hard drive, plus another 10GB free for OSX to perform, plus 10GB free if you plan on burning a DVD.
iMovie has non-destructive editing. If you have used any part of a clip and discard the rest, that entire clip is still saved in your project - unused but eating up disc space. If you use no part of a clip and discard the clip, then the clip can go in the trash and you get back disc space. So...
If you import 2 hours of video (26GB) as one clip, and only use 2 minutes, your 2-minute segment retains its 2-hr source in memory. 2 min = 26 GB.
One thing you can do is set the iMovie preferences to automatically create new clips every 3 minutes. (2 hours of 3-min clips = 40 clips.) This allows you to find the 2-minute segment you want and delete all of the unused clips. Say your 2-minute segment comes from 2 of these 3-min clips, so you keep 6 minutes of source footage and delete the rest. Clips that are entirely unused will be completely deleted and give you back disc space. At .65 GB per clip, your 6-minute project is now only 1.3 GB, and you've just regained 24.7 GB of disc space.

Saving files from Photoshop to Import into iMovie 09

1. What is the best file format for saving images from Photoshop to bring into iMovie 09?
2. What should the image size of the file be set to from Photoshop? I would like the best quality while working in iMovie prior to exporting and compressing after I am done editing.
Thank you in advance.

I see you have not marked your topic "Answered", so you may be hoping for some other suggestions. If your item 1 is intended to ask about file "type" (.psd, .jpg, .png, .tif, etc.), here is my suggestion.
Because of the large file size of PhotoShop (PS) .psd image files, *unless you need to keep the PS version with Layers, Adjustments, etc*., _and unless you do NOT keep a separate folder of PS images_, I suggest that you NOT save the PS .psd file "format" (type) into iPhoto (or iMovie.)
I keep all PS (.psd) image files that I want to retain in separate folders outside iPhoto. I also save the finished (PS) image as a .jpg or .png version which I import into iPhoto for easy import into iMovie via the media browser. Whether to use jpeg or png depends on the image quality I need.
If you are capturing the snapshots that you are editing with PS from an iSight, other webcam, or a Flip camcorder, the jpg version will probably give you all the quality you need. However, to make your decision easier, you can save multiple file type (and compression settings) versions of the edited file when you are finished in PS. Then import all the various jpgs, pngs, tiffs, etc, into a test movie, lable (title) them for easy identification, save the movie, and see if you can tell any difference in quality or each image when you replay your test movie. If you can tell a difference, you can decide how much quality you need and match that need with the file type and size that gives the necessary quality level. If you cannot see a difference in the move regardless of which file type or compression level, you can save space by using the smallest image file.
+re: your item 2:+ I have nothing to add to Karsten's expert comments on resolution and file size.

Converting a file format

I created a video clip on my Sony Camcorder. The disc shows a folder containing 6 files: 2 BUP files, 2 IFO files and 2 VOB files. When I try to bring the clip into Adobe Premier Elements 11, the files that show up are VIDEO_TS.VOB and VTS_01.VOB. Although I can import them through Add Media, they do not play clean. They have lots of wierdness happening. How can I convert the files to an acceptable file format? And do I have to convert all 6 files? Thanks, Mitch

As I show you in my book, if you put the DVD into your computer's DVD drive and then use Premiere Elements' Add Media/From PC DVD or DVD Camcorder, the program will "rip" the video files from the disc and then set up your project automatically to work with your video as the best settings possible.
I still don't know what processor you have or how much RAM, so I can't say if your computer is adequately powered to edit this type of video. But in my experience, Premiere Elements 11 does a pretty good job with DVD video if you use the Add Media tool to get the video from the disc to your computer.
Also, don't forget to render your timeline (press Enter) whenever you see yellow orange lines along the top of the timeline, above your clips, in Expert view.
I show you more of the basics of this program in my free 8 part Basic Training tutorial series, if you're interested.

STRUSTSS02 - No file format option for import

Hi Experts,
I am trying to import portal certificate into ECC 6.0 EHP7 system for SSO set up.
But I dont see the file format option ( Binary and Base) in STRUSTSS02 and If I import without it I am getting an error "cannot analyze certificate"
what could be the reason.
Thanks in advance

Ok, have you tried doing automatically with SSO wizard.
open your portal url and add sso at end.

And then add your ecc system by providing user/pass.

What file formats can Fireworks Import and Export?

the basics

welcome moremusicplease to the -board...
you should let repair your sticking shift-key soon, because in the iNet all-caps means SHOUTING...
iM's internal file format is "dv", preferable in a mov container or as dv-stream.. 1h video in dv = 13GB .. happy downloading...-
any other codecs are mostly playback-only codecs => loss of pic quality + needs conversion...
a good compromise in loss-due-to-conversion and file-size is a h264 encoding...
your 2nd question......
* DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
* Apple mpeg2 plugin (20$) + Streamclip (free)
* Cinematize >60$
* Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
* Toast6/7 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
* connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter

Convert .SLOAS file format to .CSV format

Dear All,
I am downloading the file in .SLOAS format from my program. I want to convert the file to .CSV format.
Can someone please let me know how can i do it.
I have already tried GUI_UPLOAD and SAP_CONVERT_TO_CSV_FORMAT, but of no use.
Regards

Hi,
This is the project requirement that first the data should be downloaded in a file with .SLOAS format, then we have to convert it to .CSV format and use it further.
Do you know any technique or Function Module using which we can achieve this functionality.
Thank You

Questions about converting files in order to import to iMovie '09?

I was able to import the videos from my camera (.mts files) into iMovie '09, but now when I click Import from Camera, iSight opens up instead. Since I can't find out why it won't open up my camera files now, I have decided on just converting the files. I just have a question about converting though. The videos I recorded from my camera are in HD. They're very good quality. If I convert the videos from .mts into .mp4, would that reduce the quality of the video?

When that happens to me I get stubborn and make iMovie see the camera by shutting down and reopening iMovie, because I don't want another level of transcoding. If that doesn't work and you have a card reader of even better, a sd slot on your iMac, just plug the card in. If it appears on the desktop iMovie should see it, and if it appears on your desktop then iMovie should read it.
I have a Canon HFS 100 that works best if I take the card out and plug it into the computer.
The times I converted to .mp4, I thought the quality did degrade, because it had to be converted to .mp4 and then imported as AIC. But I am not an expert on whether iMovie can deal with .mp4 directly.
Canons require that one have the camcorder plugged into a power outlet, another reason to use a card reader.
What kind of camcorder do you have? With some camcorders, if one takes both photos and video, the video won't be read.
When nothing works, occasionally deleting iMovie preferences works.

DVD Converted to MP4 But Won't Import to iMovie

I have converted a DVD to mp4, using iSkysoft. But I cannot import the mp4 into iMovie (import function won't recognize). Any ideas?

The iPod does not require a special kind of quicktime anything.
The iPod accepts MP4 video-an industry standard codec.

Converting RM files (Real Video) for use in iMovie

Hello,
I'm looking for a program that can help me convert RM (real video) files for use with iMovie.
I have heard that ffmpegX is great to use. I went to their website, downloaded everything and got it up and running...but when I try to convert anything, it doesn't work. I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong?
Any advice? Thanks.

Yes
I found a program but am experiencing lots of trouble with it. I was hoping that others could give me a better suggestion.
I've actually downloaded and installed ffmpeg but the problem I'm experiencing now is that the videos do not convert. The program starts to work and then three seconds later I get the dialog box that says everything has been converted but the file created is 0KB and of course will not open.
Any ideas about what could be going wrong? I've attempted to convert the files to different formats and try converting different files as well. I still have the problem.

Movie files suddenly don't import into iMovie

I have been importing dozens of MVI_ .MOV files shot on a Canon 60D and store on my iMac into iMovie no problem. Now after two months when I choose import movie and select the same files a box comes up saying the file (approx1 GB files) is processing and it will take less than a minute but the box disappears after 10 secs or so and no file is imported into iMovie. How can I fix this problem that has developed. I've tried with several different files and restarted iMac.

Convert text file to table on Import

We have a lot of tables, that we'd like to maintain outside of FrameMaker (we're using FM9). I've been trying to figure out the best way to do it, and using the Import>File>Convert option seems like the best.
However, my question is what is best practice for the type of files we use? At first it seemed like using Excel and saving as a .csv or tab-delimited text file would be easiest. But there doesn't seem to be a .csv convert option and setting "," as the delimiter means we can't use commas inside the cell content. And it seems to import tab-delimited cells that contain a comma inside quotes.
It seems like the other option would be to use HTML for the table content. We are new to all this stuff, so using HTML would add to the learning curve, but I can push it through if it's best practice/will make the cleanest conversions. Or is there a way to use Excel that converts cleanly that I just haven't figured out?
Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Last year, based upon a comment on this forum, I imported an Excel table into a structured FrameMaker document by copy. FrameMaker created the table and applied its own version of a structure. For example, row elements were named ROW, cell elements were named CELL, etc. Because my table structure used different names, I had to change them to make the structure valid. There may have been some subtle issues with the table element itself. It was not clean but it got the job done.
Regarding Michael's suggestion about XML, I DID try this once, and it worked fine. The exported XML from Excel was simple and clean. The XSLT was therefore easy to write. If you have lots of tables to do, this might be the best way to go. It may take some work to get it working correctly, but once it is, subsequent work will be minimized.
Regarding XML from Excel, I was using the old Excel format xls. I have not worked with the newer xlsx format, which IS based upon XML. If you are using xlsx, I would be sure to export as XML and not "save" as XML (not sure what the command would be) in order to avoid getting all the XML used in newer Excel to store formatting and other meta information.
Good luck.
