Does Mac recognize .vob files?

i am thinking of having a service turn my 8mm film onto a dvd. they say the format is .vob. if i do this will i be able to import the .vob files into a movie app so that i can edit the movies?

Thanks for your reply Allan. I am still confused however. I clicked on the link and read what was on the messages but still don't understand. First I need to know what program I need to have to open the vob files. What software should I buy for iMac that opens vob files and let's me convert them to a format that I can open in iMovie or Final Cut?

    If you have the original movie files, you'd be much better converting those, otherwise try MPEGstreamclip.

  • Thunar does not recognize image file formats

    Hi Archers,
    My problem is that I use XFCE4 with Thunar file manager and Thunar does not recognize image file formats. I mean for example JPG format is an executable application fromat according to my Thunar, but I'd like Thunar to recognize JPG format as image or bitmap format appearing with small preview of the image.
    Any help is appritiated!

    Yes, I did.
    Activating Show Thumbnails button in Preferences of Thunar does not work.

  • I transferred CS5 to a new computer using PC transfer program. CS5 started up on the new computer OK, but now does not recognize raw files. Should I uninstall and reinstall again?

    I transferred CS5 to a new computer using PC mover ultimate. CS5 appeared to start up normally, I had to insert the serial number from my original CD. However, now the program does not recognize CR files and Adobe bridge is not working properly.  I get messages that CS5 needs to be updated, but the updates fail. What should I do? Should I uninstall CS5 on the new computer, uninstall CS5 on the old computer using the original CD, and then reinstall CS5 using the CD on the new computer?

    Transferring programs does not work well with Adobe applications.  You should install them.
    As far as having the program on different machines goes, you are allowed to have two activated installations so if it is working on the original machine there is no reason to remove it unless you need the space.

  • Organizer (PSE 8) does not recognize DNG files

    I recently upgraded to Elements 8 for Windows.  Although I can load DNG files in to Editor, work with them and save them, the Organizer says it does not recognize this file type and will not load DNG files.  In Windows Explorer, I had to associate my DNG files (I use XP) as being an Adobe Elements file so the install program clearly dropped the ball.  Did not have this problem with Elements 7.  Organizer recognizes my Camera RAW files just fine.

    I am able to get DNG files in PSE Organizer 8.0 and didnot see any issue.
    Could you restart your system and see if it works!

    I have Photoshop CS3 which I have used successfully for a number of years.  I now shoot pics with a Nikon DSLR D7100. When I try to open NEF files the following flag appears: "Could not complete your request because PS does not recognize this file".  What do I need to do to open my NEF files??  Thanks.

    Thanks for the quick reply, CP
    FYI, the file is a photographic panorama based on several .CR2 photos taken in July, 2012 and processed in CS5's camera RAW/Photoshop.  Beyond the metadata, here are no fonts or text in the file.
    1.  I changed Maximize ...File Capability from "Never" to "Always" and the flattened file saved and loaded OK, though I can't figure why given Adobe's description of this option. "If you work with PSD and PSB files in older versions of Photoshop or applications that don’t support layers, you can add a flattened version of the image to the saved file...".  The file saved in this manner is ~8% larger and is not my preference as a routine since I've TB's of photo files.  By the way, out of thousands of .psd/.psb files, the one being discussed is the first to give me the error.
    2.  I've tried saving/reloading the file on another computer with Win XP Sp3/CS5...again with Maximize Capability OFF.  Same problem.  Turn ON Maximize Capability and it works.  As with the Win 8 machine, Bridge could neither create a thumbnail or read Metadata.
    3.  I've purged the Bridge Cache, made sure there were no old PS page files, reset PS preferences, and disabled my 2 plugins with no change in the problem.  Windows and Adobe progs are all updated.  Saving to a different HDD has no effect.
    The problem occurs on 2 computers (Win XP/Win 8), two versioins of Photoshop (CS5/CS6), and "Maximize" On/Off togles the problem.  My guess it is a bug in PSD processing routines.
    If I can't find a fix, will keep with Maximize ON and deal with the larger files that result...the cost of insurance, I suppose.
    Thanks again

  • HT6012 Why did my Mac recognize .mov files before the new iMovie update and now it no longer does?

    As clumsy as I find the new iMovie to be my complaint has to do with the problem the new update caused on my mac. .mov files will not open in     Quick Look wont anymore and I had to download Quick Time 7 to view them.
    I want the old iMovie but I doubt if that will fix what's been bolloxed by Apple.
    Bollox bollox bollox bol...........

    For better or worse, Apple is moving away from QuickTime (32 bit) to AV Foundation (64 bit).

  • HT3258 what about final cut does not recognize mts file

    what about final cut does not recognize mts file

    If you have an AVCHD camcorder, you need to select one of the AVCHD Apple Intermediate Codec Easy Setups in FCE that matches how you shot the video in your camcorder.  (eg, AVCHD Apple Intermediate Codec 1920x1080i60 would be appropriate for camcorders produced for North America unless you selected some other video type in the camera's setup.)   After selecting the appropriate Easy Setup, create a new sequence then import the video from your camcorder.
    If you only have the .mts files themselves (perhaps because you copied them to your hard drive without their entire surrounding AVCHD folder structure), that's another matter.  In that case you need Clipwrap or similar app to transcode the .mts files to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec before importing them into FCE.   You still need to have the correct easy setup in FCE.
    It would help to know exactly what make/model camcorder you have, and what model Mac and versions of OS X and QuickTime.

  • Offline File | Zero KB CRW's | "Photoshop does not recognize this file"

    The first symptom was when I got the dialogue "The file named "CRW_0004.CRW" is offline or missing. I located the file using spotlight only to get a "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file." when trying to open it in photoshop. Upon closer inspection I found that the CRW file was 0KB. I searched for 0 KB CRW & CR2 files to find thousands of files. Heart sinks.
    I recently started using lightroom to import and organize all my files. Now it seems something has gone gravely wrong. Any ideas?
    Intel iMac 2core
    OSX 10.5.7
    LR 2.4
    Camera Raw 5.4

    …and just before I ran the utility I did an export and got a warning that 18 files were offline or missing and 1.file doesn't exist. But once I tried to Right Click>> show in finder and went through the relocate dialogue LR immediatly found the file. Reattempt to export files from "Photos that failed to export" folder went flalessly.

  • Lr Mobile 1.2.1 does not recognize .tif files added to iPhone 6 + iOS8 Camera Roll

    I use an app called ProCamera 8 to save images taken with my iPhone 6 to uncompressed TIF files or TIF files with LZW compression.  The problem is that Lr Mobile doesn't see any kind of TIF file in my iPhone camera roll at all.  I've tried to:
    Save the photo taken by PC8 directly to the camera roll
    Save the photo taken by PC8 to it's own "Lightbox" folder, then export it to the camera roll.
    Manually import the TIF files that appear in the iPhone's camera roll using Lr Mobile's Add From Camera Roll command. TIF files in the camera roll don't even appear in the list of photos!
    None of the above methods will get a TIF file into a Lr Mobile collection.
    If I repeat the process with JPG files, everything works as expected, and all 3 methods listed above will get the JPG images into LR Mobile.
    I think this is a bug (and a serious one) because TIF files in Lr Desktop that are added to a collection that is synced with Lr Mobile appear Lr Mobile on my iPhone immediately.  So I know that Lr Mobile supports the display and editing of TIF source files.
    Until this is fixed, is there a workaround possible?
    Thanks,
    Jeff
    EDIT: The native Photos app in iOS 8 displays all of the TIF files correctly.

    The latest update to Lightroom Mobile now recognizes Tif files. Strangely, in the import window they show up with with a RAW label on them but, once imported, the metadata labels them as tiffs. This made me wonder if LR mobile also now supported actual RAW files. Alas, a quick test proved this to not be the case.
    That said, this is pretty cool news for those who take pictures with their phone's camera. I too use a camera app that allows me to save images as tiff files. Now these files can be imported to LR Mobile and edited using the array of tools found there. I've always liked Lightroom's superior versions of tools like Clarity, Highlights, Shadows, Whites, and Darks but found them of little use on Jpgs, due to the smaller amount of data they contain. While Tiffs aren't quite as info packed as RAW files, they are a huge step better than jpgs.
    One slight caveat which, depending on your outlook could be either a good or bad thing. When you save a tiff file from LRMobile it automatically converts the image to a jpg and reduces the image size to around 63% of the original image (the native size of a photo taken with my iPhone 6, 2448x3264, is reduced to 1536x2048). At first I was rather upset with this, as far as I can tell, unchangable automatic action. However, after thinking about it a while it occured to me, that for my use of LRMobile at least, it is not such a bad idea.
    FIrst let me say that I do not see my iPhone or my iPad Air as optimal photo editing devices. For serious editing I'm going to use my computer hooked up to my calibrated 27" NEC monitor. However, for doing some quick fixes/adjustments on iPhone snapshots this makes complete sense. Most other mobile editing apps only support jpg as do most of the major social sharing sites on the web. A smaller sized image, and it's inherrent smaller file size, is also better for emailing, sharing on websites, etc especially if you are using cellular data to upload with. Admittedly I would have prefered the option to save as either a tiff of jpg and also the option to select  the image size, but overall this "feature" is OK with me. As I said if your usage of LR Mobile differs from mine you could well be holding your head in your hands moaning by now.
    While I'm still waiting for the ability to edit keywords and other metadata, the thing that would make LR Mobile an essential app for me, this addition of tiff support has actually gotten it out of my "Archive" folder and back in to use.
    PS: one thing that has always worked well is the sync between devices (internet required) so it is geeat for getting your phone photos onto the your iPad.

  • LR5.7.1 does not recognize all files on SD or CF cards?

    I have been using LR 5.7.1 through creative cloud. Using LR since verison 1 ) Using a card reader to import, LR now does not recognize all of the files on either SD or CF cards. To get LR to see all of the files, I must close LR and sturn off comptuer and back on again. --then LR  might see all of the files on the cards.    The lats time, LR  saw the files,  I clocked "import" and LR make the smart previews BUT when started to make the regular previews I watched the previews turn black right before my eyes. Now I Have no files--they are all black. I quit LR and looked at the files in Finder--all of the files are black there too. What has hapened and what can I do to get my files back. I put the card back into the camera--and the files are not tiny and it says "unidentified files" on teh camera LCD screen. 
    . What can I do? I'

    Card reader—never thought of that. I tried a new card reader and test shots on other cards with both cameras. All seems to be working fine now. I even put in the old corrupted card and the same corrupted images are still black but the good ones are still good.  Thanks again for your help. I have a big job coming up and I was quite worried.

  • IPhoto 9.6 Does Not Recognize .MOV files!!! - HELP!

    Re: iphoto won’t import mov video
    in response to léonie
    I just read the thread to which léonie pointed. (Thanks!)
    In System>Library>Caches, I had a file named "com.apple.xpchelper.cache". That file showed a modification date of yesterday -- I don't know what changes this file. Quite likely it was the install of 10.9.5 that I did yesterday.
    Now, I was lucky enough to have a clone of my system from 3-4 days ago. I copied the older (cloned) version of this file, which itself had a modification date of about a month ago - to the working system. (I first renamed the current "com.apple.xpchelper.cache" to be safe.)
    Then, I restarted ... and everything works like before! All movies play, and I can import.
    I am not sure at all why this happened or why the above has fixed things for me, but it seems it has!
    I am very happy to have fixed this issue without having to do a system recovery, which always has hitches here and there, and takes a decent chunk of time no matter how "backed up" you are.

  • Mac does not recognize CR2 files from Canon T2i

    First, I am posting in this forum because I need help for a problem that I think only experienced photographers could answer, even though I don't use Aprerture (or iPhoto).
    I borrowed a friend's EOS-1D Mark II and shot using the camera raw format. My Mac could see the files and even open them in Preview. I am using PShop CS3 on a Mac running 10.5. Because of this, I have to use Adobe DNG converter so I could open them in Photoshop. I cannot afford to upgrade either the OS or Photoshop right now.
    I decided to start shooting in the raw format with my EOS Rebel T2i. I formatted an SD card and changed the camera's settings to shoot RAW. When I moved the files to my Mac to open them, instead of thumbnail previews, I saw 'exec' icons, even though the file extension says .CR2. I tried to convert them with DNG Converter, and it said there were no recognizable files to convert. I changed the setting in the camera to save the file as both a RAW and jpeg file. The CR2 file was still not recognized, but the jpeg is.
    I thought installing "RAW Camera Update 2.7" from Apple's website would solve the problem. (Currently, "RAW Camera Update 2.1.2" is in my Library.) The problem is that ver. 2.7 requires either Aperture or iPhoto 9, or my Mac won't install it. I don't think the issue is with the 3rd party software, because the Mac 'sees' the image files taken with the Mark II, but not the T2i.
    I am stumped.

    I solved my problem through dumb luck, but maybe it will help other people who are still using CS3:
    I had used the version of Adobe DNG Converter for the CR2 files from the Mark II: version 5.4 for CS3. On a whim, I decided to try downloading version 6.2 for CS5. It is a stand-alone app, and if it didn't work, I could just uninstall it. or it simply wouldn't install.
    A funny thing happened:
    I ran the installer successfully, but when I checked my applications folder, it said I still had version 5.4, and a search for version 6.2 only showed the dmg. Huh. So I dropped a CR2 file on the icon of the version I still had, and it converted! Yay!
    The CR2 files still have the 'exec' icons, of course, but once the file is converted to dng, the thumbnails are there.
    Canon said it was up to software developers to make things compatible, and apparently the only difference between the RAW file for the Mark II and the T2i, for instance, is a tag buried deep in the file that IDs the camera it came from. I could have used the software that came with the camera, but it converts the CR2 straight into a jpeg, and I want to open it and make adjustments with Photoshop's RAW/DNG editor before opening it in PShop proper, to preserve the most information I can. I am mentioning this only because Canon's suggestion was to use their camera's software, so that is an option, but imo, it defeats the purpose of using RAW to begin with.
