DVD rip DVD Final Cut Express 4.01 - can't import

I don't know what to do, I am really lost on this. I've tired various rip dvd pass. But just plain LOST
The formate I guess when it is ripped goes to .VOB ? Is that right. But anyway I can't seem to drag it into FCE. I've had various error message something like frame rate error and other errors. I've tried various things so much. I went out and bought FCE 4. Because I thought I would have less headaches.
So I have a DVD of a underwater diver and he is using my music. So I want to separate each segment of the scenes he has in his DVD. Then rip them and use them for a resume. He gave me the go ahead. But I just don't know what would be the best dvd rip app. I tried handbrake. But it seems that the files that come from there don't import into FCE 4.
I basically am very lost on all this and not sure how to explain exactly.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Is this what you're doing?

  • Can I use Final Cut Express 4.0.1. to import movies from Panasonic VDR-D250?

    Can I use Final Cut Express 4.0.1. to import movies from Panasonic VDR-D250 via USB 2.0? How? (page in handbook?)
    Further specifications of this older camera:
    USB 2.0
    DVD-RAM (cannot be inserted in my MBP!)
    50-PAL (signal)
    MPEG2
    Dolby Digital
    I want to use FCE if possible but maybe could try to install the software of this camera on Windows virtual XP also on my MBP?

    I forward an answer of Panasonic (written in German):
    So Panasonic does not offer a software which is compatible with Apple!
    Bezug nehmend auf Ihre Anfrage teilen wir Ihnen mit, dass der Camcorder
    VDR-D250 die Videoaufnahmen nach dem DVD-Videostandard sowie nach dem
    DVD-VR-Standard aufnehmen kann. Wir können jedoch nicht beurteilen ob Ihre
    Software Final Cut Express 4.0.1 die Bearbeitung dieser Standards
    unterstützt. Seitens Panasonic wird weder eine Apple kompatible software
    noch Support für Apple Geräte angeboten. Wenden Sie sich diesbezüglich
    bitte an Ihren Apple Händler oder Ihren Computeradministrator. Die
    mitgelieferte Software des Camcorders ist ausschließlich für folgende
    Betriebssysteme vorgesehen:
    - Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
    - Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
    - Microsoft Windows XP Professional
    Ob diese Software in einer virtuellen Umgebung genutzt werden kann ist uns
    nicht bekannt. Um die mit dem Camcorder aufgenommenen DVDs an einem
    Computer-Laufwerk auslesen zu können müssen diese vorab mit dem Camcorder
    finalisiert werden. Ausnahme ist die Verwendung einer DVD-RAM.

  • I have a copy of Final Cut Express 2. Can I get a current upgrade instead of repurchasing the new Final Cut Pro?

    I have a old copy of Final Cut Express 2 that I never installed. Can I get a current upgrade instead of repurchasing the new Final Cut Pro?
    The Apple Store does not show does not contain purchase information of the old unused Final Cut Express. What can I do to register Final Cut Express 2 will not operate in the current OS systems on my iMac. It only is compatible with the G3 or G5.

    If you have a record/documentation of your FCS full version purchase, you can contact Apple here:

    to obtain your serial number.

  • With Final cut express 4.0 can you install it on multiple mac's

    Can you install final cut express 4.0 on multiple mac's?

    I installed FCE on my Macbook and my iMac but when they are open at the same time and I'm connected to the internet the last one to open says I have to quit because of a"Protection Error".
    Is there a way around this so I can work on two projects at the same time???

  • Canon HF200 and Final Cut Express 4 - not able to import movie files

    Hello,
    I have a Canon HF200. I have a 16 GB Duracell "pro photo" flash card. When I first connected my camera to my computer and clicked on "log and transfer" all of the movie clips on my card showed up in FCE 4. I did not import them at this time, however.
    Now when I connect the camera, only newer videos taken with the camera show up as importable in FCE. Essentially, while the older videos remain on the card, I cannot access them and import them into FCE.
    I am not able to import the files, which are saved as .CPI and .MTS files by simply dragging or using the log and transfer option.
    If anyone can help me with this problem and tell me how I can retrieve the movie files I would really appreciate it.
    Thanks a lot.

    Do you own a card reader? Use that instead of the camera to transfer your files. If not, try using disc utility (or toast if you have it) to duplicate the memory card to a disc image (you can burn it to dvd if you want a back up of the original files) and then use the disc image to log and transfer.

  • Is it really true that Final Cut Express cannot import full HD footage?

    I have seen a comment on the Apple store website for Final Cut Express saying that FCE cannot import 1940 1080/ 60i/24p/30p frame rates, converting them to a degraded 1440 1080 14p instead!
    I have bought a Canon HF100 on Ebay, and it is shipping from Canada to Britain by surface mail, so I have a few weeks to sort out my editing software. I was planning to buy FCE, but when I saw that comment I was surprised to think Apple haven't got a leading edge program for editing HD footage, which is the coming thing. I have trawled through all the posts in this forum, but with my head spinning I am still not sure what FCE can do.
    So in desperation I am asking for a simple answer from someone: can I import the best quality footage I will shoot on this camera and retain that quality in FCE, or do I have to look for another program? And what would that program be? Please help me!

    Hi Ian, thanks for getting involved with my potential fiasco to help me out! I have just been on ebay and saw a british person selling a vixia camera, so I messaged him to ask about this issue, and this is what he has replied:
    "A good question! You are quite right, UK frame rates are 25p and 50i. This used to be an issue with analogue cameras with NTSC vs PAL, but with HD, it is no detriment at all, in fact it is an advantage. Firstly, it means you get more frames per second, so you get less blurring with fast moving objects and have more raw material to work with; secondly, HD TV's will automatically recognise the format and play the footage with no issue; finally, if you do need to output at 25p or 50i, any decent editing package will convert the frame rate. A quick bit of maths shows that a long GOP under 25/50 is 0.6s long, whereas under 30/60, it is only 0.5s. I import the clips into the PC, edit them, render into a single file, then use Nero 9 (the only software currently able to do this) to create an AVCHD folder back on the camera, so that the finished film can be played out in glorious full HD using the HDMI port. Hope this helps! "
    I'm not really clear on what he is saying with regards to showing the footage... can only play it via the camera? Means cannot burn DVD? Uploading to Facebook not an issue?
    He says editing software can convert the frame rate, so can that be done in FCE? What do you say, Tom?

  • Big Difference in Final Cut Express Versions????

    I still own Final Cut Express 2.02 (2004) but never really was able to master it, and went back to iMovie for my editing.
    Now, I'm thinking about making the jump again, but am curious how different Final Cut Express HD or Final Cut Express 4.0 is from the version that I own. (Which by the way doesn't even work on my iMac because it says I don't have a APG Graphics card).
    I guess that's a long way of asking your opinion if the newer versions are better and/or any easier or more user friendly than Final Cut Express 2.0. Also curious what the learning curve is. I really struggled on the 2.0 version.

    Hello Todd,
    The user interface and all of the basic functions including editing, filters, exporting are the same in the later versions of Final Cut Express.
    Later versions than 2.02 added more filters & features including support for HD video (HDV & AVCHD). The one major deletion was SoundTrack was removed from the FCE package when FCE4 was released.
    Beyond features, one of the main considerations is what versions of OSX and QuickTime you are running. With Leopard, you should really be on FCE 4. Since you already have v2.02 you can purchase the upgrade to FCE4 ($99) instead of another copy of the full program.
    With regard to learning FCE, you should get a copy of Tom Wolsky's book Final Cut Express Editing Workshop and his tutorial DVD Final Cut Express Made Easy. They are excellent materials for learning how to use FCE quickly. The book also includes a DVD with sample clips that go with the examples in the book; and he explains the differences between iMovie and FCE, which can be very helpful for someone making that transition.

  • Final Cut Express 4 and I Movie

    I am having trouble understanding how to work with videos on my new Mac. I do not understand how to import photos from my hard drive into I Movie or Final Cut Express. I also do not understand why I cannot download a slideshow DVD I created on my Windows Vista into Final Cut Express.

    MPEG Streamclip can convert a VIDEO_TS folder to other formats. Use "Open DVD" from its "File" menu and choose the VIDEO_TS folder.

  • Transferring videos into final cut express

    Hello! I am new with mac, so...
    In order to transfer videos from a HDD camcorder into final cut express or imovie, can I only do it through a fire wire cable? or does a simple usb do?
    And, do all HDD camcorders do? I bought a Sony HDR-SR10E but I returned it because I couldn't figure out a way to import stuff....
    Does anyone know a camcorder that will definitely do with FCE?
    Thank you very much in advance!

    As you can see from Zak's list, the only cameras apart from DV and HDV tape cameras that can be used with FCE 4 are those shooting AVCHD.
    All other cameras will not work properly as you will have to convert their formats to DV using something like Streamclip.

  • Motion 5 with Final Cut Express?

    It will let me download Motion 5 from the app store, but will it work with the newest version of Final Cut Express?  Meaning can I use it for smoother slow motion and import into FCE?
    Thanks!

    Motion 5 does not work with FCP (i.e. does not interact) so I very much doubt it will work with FCE.
    Saying that, as I have mentioned in another thread you can still output your movie with transparency and import into FCE above a background etc.  There is no send to etc..........

  • Final Cut Express 2.0.3 with Tiger 10.4.4: No Firewire anymore?

    Hello world, am I the only one with this problem?
    I just purchased and installed Tiger 10.4.3. (Yes, I'm an idiot.)
    Well, Final Cut Express 2.0.3 -- which ran so well with Panther -- is now useless with Tiger. I also just downloaded and installed the Tiger 10.4.4 update; Apple says this update woud fix some Firewire problems. But it didn't fix my Firewire problems.
    I connected a Canon XLS1 camera to my G5 Dual 2MHz: The Mac's System Info detects it as XLS1.
    I also connected a Panasonic NV DV-2000 player/recorder to the same G5: The Mac's System Info detects it as an "unknown device" though, but it detects it. This device worked always well with the old Panther.
    Anyway, neither the Canon nor the Panasonic gets access to Final Cut. Only the Mac's System Info detects them.
    Ok, now I have a few widget toys and a few other cosmetic things for 130 Euro, but no Final Cut anymore. Heck, I bought this Mac to work with Final Cut.
    If this problem cannot be fixed, I'll return to Panther and want my money back. There was no warning that Tiger wouldn't run with Final Cut Express. I can't believe that I am the only one on earth who works with the above devices and versions.
    Thank you for your attention! Any hints are greatly appreciated.

    Heureka, here's the solution, indeed:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301852
    I can tell you why it confused me yesterday: I tried a similar trick before: As described by Apple, I deleted in "library/receipts" all quicktime PKG files with a version number in the file name. I also (not instructed by Apple) deleted my 7.0.4 quicktime application in the "applications" folder. Then I re-executed PKG of quicktime 7.0.4 (this PKG was already on my harddisk, so I thought I don't need to re-download 7.0.4). The installation programme started. Shortly before the end it terminated: "Installation not successful."
    Today I did it exactly as described in the article linked above. In other words, after the deletion of the existing PKG files, I didn't re-execute that 7.0.4 PKG which was already on my hard disk, but I re-downloaded that same file from apple. (Also, this time I didn't delete the 7.0.4 Quicktime APP in the "applications" folder). The downloaded file and the included installation program looked exactly like what I already had on my disk. But for some reason it did the trick. Very bizarre. Perhaps it's a matter of the right sequence of the various installations.
    Yesterday I was really disappointed. Now I'm happy again. I hope it stays stable.
    And for the next five years I will follow again my old motto: "Never update a well working system!"
    Thank you for your help!
    Cheers.

  • Backup AVCHD Camcorder using Final Cut Express

    I have previously used Final Cut Express to create a backup copy of all the video on my AVCHD Hard Drive Camcorder. However, since that time, I had to reinstall Final Cut Express. I can no longer remember or find how to do this again. Can someone please help? Did apple remove this functionality?

    I just purchased FCE 4 with a new iMac but haven't used it yet. But I do know that iMovie '09 has an Archive feature that will do what you are looking for. It copies the contents of the camera in it's original Full HD format to the hard drive. I do this then import the video to iMovie using the compressed file type. With the original on the hard drive, you can always re-import to iMovie '09 (and FCE 4, I presume) if you want to use the Full HD original format at a later date.

  • Final Cut Express Won't Open

    My computer won't open Final Cut Express. I can click on it, and go through the beginning of the program opening, and then without an error message, the program just closes.
    Any ideas?

    Same exact thing with me today on a Dual G5. FCE won't open. Stops after five seconds. No messages.
    I believe it has to do with setting scratch disks and resulting incomplete pathways to scratch disks. But I don't know how to fix it. When I removed a designated scratch disc, FCE opened. But when I reset a scratch disk, a box opened asking to verify a pathway, but the box had nothing in it. I clicked on "continue" and FCE simply closed again.

  • Can I open .MXF files (from an HVX200) in Final Cut Express HD?

    I've found plug-ins for Final Cut Pro that will open these files, but I haven't had luck with anything for the latest version of Final Cut Express HD.
    Can anyone help??
    Thanks!

    Nice cam.
    The late FCPro can but FCE can't AFAIK.
    P2 stuff can't.
