Failing to import files correctly from Handycam DVD camera

Hi,
I try to import files directly from my Sony Handycam DVD camera to PRE8 by inserting the DVD in the PC.
There is only audio at the first part of every file. Approximately the first 20 - 30 % of the total video length. The sound does not appear neither in playback in W media player, Quick Time, W movie maker or PRE. Why am I missing the audio?
What is the best way to import for editing in PRE?
What is the best file type for editing in PRE?
What is the fastest way for converting, if needed?
My handycam camera provides wide screen option. But the wide screen in PRE8 seems to be "wider" than the camera...

Seems like this got the answers to most of my problems
That "More Like This" area can really work sometimes. Glad that you saw it, and that it helped.
If you have more issues, please let us know and good luck,
Hunt

Importing iPhoto albums from a dvd?

To free up space on my hard drive I burned my iPhoto Library to a dvd. But I still want to be able to access the photos on the dvd in the future. As a test I tried to import an album from the dvd and I get this message (couldn't create: users/xxx/Pictures/iPhoto Library/xxx/xxx/xx/xxx.jpg) for each picture in the album and then this (Unreadable Files 3: The following files could not be imported [they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data.]) I sort of understand this since the album folders only contain aliases of the actual jpgs.
My question, then, is how does one import albums from burned media back into iPhoto? Mind you, I'm still using iPhoto 2, so perhaps this is an easier task in more recent versions? Thanks in advance for any help.

How did you burn the library to the DVD disc. If it was by dragging the entire iPhoto Library folder to the disc and burning via the Finder you won't be able to open it from within iPhoto. To be able to do that you must have selected the items to be burned and then use the Burn button in the lower right hand corner. That's the only way you'll be able to see the items in iPhoto.
To correct that you could copy that iPhoto Library folder to your desktop and open it with iPhoto (launch with the Option key depressed and select the desktop library folder). Now you can select that entire library and burn it again using the Burn button. That disc will be readable by iPhoto when it's inserted into the drive with iPhoto running.

Is there any way to import the photos from a DVD slideshow I made in 2007?

is there any way to import the photos from a DVD slideshow I made in 2007? they are set to music and there are quite a few photos on the slideshow. I didn't back up the photos on a separate DVD/CD so the photos are all there but i don't know how to import them from a musical slideshow. Help!

Unless you opted to add the source image files to the DVD's ROM Contents the answer is no.

Many thanks.

50p will not work directly with FCE.
50i is fine.

Can you import video directly from a video camera ?

Can you import video directly from a video camera to the iPad 2 ? If so, what is needed?

I would say no. I have an Ipad2 with the connection kit. A recent Sony camera which works fine in imovie for my 27" imac, but nothing with the Ipad. Only thing that it finds are pictures that can be made with the same video camera. Apple wrote a note aboit probkmes with importing, but i'm very disappointed with what i have right now.

I can't import my photos from my digital camera (Sony) this problem is recent. I have imported photos without problem a problem before.

I can't import my photos from my digital camera (Sony) to my iPad, this problem is recent. I have imported photos without problem a problem before. Is this problem due to the IOS 6 update? How can I fix it?

I have the same problem and apple needs to fix this - but in the mean time you can manually select the vertical photos then "import - import selected" and you can get your verticals. We need a better fix. THIS IS A BUG!

Iphoto will not import my photos from my digital camera because it says it is having a problem downloading my photos. I'm using the same digital camera I have always had and have the current version of iphoto and am usuin snowleapord. Any thoughts?

iphoto will not import my photos from my digital camera because it says it is having a problem downloading my photos. I'm using the same digital camera I have always had and have the current version of iphoto and am using snowleapord 10.6.8. Any thoughts?

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Is there a way to import a flash file to an iphone so I could continue to listen to my course and view the power point presentation at the same time? i.e.file source from a DVD?

Got an iphone 4s and would like to know if there's a way to import files from a DVD source to my phone. I am able to transfer the audio files through iTunes. Is there a way to transfer the flash file that contains the animated slides. Is there an app that I could buy so I could view this on my iphone? Thanks!

No. You would have to convert it to a video format that your phone can handle, then sync it over and view the video. I'm sure there are ways to do this, but I don't have direct experience with them as I have no use for flash content.

Able to import a video from a DVD to iMovie but not the sound.

Time Machine fails to backup files migrated from Windows

Hi there - I have a really annoying issue whereby I have a machine with a TC on the LAN which fails to backup.
The scenario is thus - Mac Snow Leopard server which has files migrated from an old Windows server to one specific disk. This is where all the data resides so this is the only volume I actually really need to back up.
However I keep getting the message that Time machine could not write to the device after a certain period of time with the classically unhelpful:-
Console log mumbles on about what I suspect is the path/length of path or filenames which I understand. Question is - how do I get round this? There are thousands of files in here so I cannot ask the users to go around renaming the files and shortening the folder names (to be honest it doesnt seem that they are too long to me in any case).
The files are shared using both AFP and SMB as a standard Sharepoint and the users on both Mac and PC have no problems at all accessing them, hence my confusion as to why TM has a problem with the file/folder names.
Chocolate biscuit (or equivalent for those on detox) for anyone who can throw me a bone here.
Cheers and thanks in advance,
Si

Not really sure if this is what you mean about Outlook database, but the correct answer may be in this thread's last post:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3356959?start=0&tstart=0
Basically the same information you can find here:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macoutlook/help-my-ma in-identity-hosed-restore-from-time/a9992719-3ae0-479d-bf0a-7c8279653ffa
"The first time that you open Outlook after restoring a Time Machine backup, Outlook rebuilds its database to accommodate the restored items. If you have a very large database, rebuilding the database might take a long time."
Hope this helps.

Lightroom 4.4 cannot import files exported from CaptureOne Pro8, but LR5 can??

I am a recent new user to PhaseOne's CaptureOne Pro8 software. I am using it for some RAW conversions, but still want to use my LR4.4 product to catalog, and further edit, those conversions.
I have tried exporting TIFF, DNG, and JPG from Pro8, but NONE of those files can be imported by LR4.4 I can selected the file, and then LR hangs on "Importing files...". Oddly enough, I can move to other LR modules, like Develop, and the software still works, but the import never completes.
I downloaded a trial LR5.6 via Creative Cloud, and that version of Lightroom imports the JPG files just fine. I have not tried to see if TIFF or DNG can be imported.
So my questions come down to :
Are there any LR4.4 users here who also have CaptureOne Pro8? Can you import Pro8-exported JPGs into LR4.4?
Is there any insight as to how LR5.6 handles files differently than LR4.4 that could explain why LR4.4 cannot load these files?
I have no other issues with any other software package that can read JPGs, only LR4.4. Keep in mind LR5.6 works fine, as well.
Hmmm?
Thanks for any help, insight,
Mike

BKKDon - Thank you so much for the Photoshop Family route. I kinda found myself going in circles on the Adobe support pages, and thought this user-to-user forum was my only option for LR4 support. Appreciate the link.
And, I believe you have helped me greatly narrow the problem down. I was not familiar with JFIF, and now I am. I was able to find some utilities to essentially strip all of the APP markers within the JFIF, and now I can import those files into LR4. I suspect that CO7 did not utilize APP marker in the JFIFs, CO8 does, and LR4 stumbles when it sees APP markers. That's speculation based on how I made the LR4 import work, and not by doing direct inspection of different JPGs or JFIFs. Thanks for the tip on JFIF, that gave me a lead that panned out.
Now if I could just figure out why DNG and TIFF seem to be similarly afflicted, LOL.

How do I import short 'clips' from a DVD of a commercial film into I-Movie?

Hi, tech wizards!
I have a copy of a commercial film on a DVD. I teach this film in my class, and want to 'snip' the pertinent parts of the film from the DVD and put them into Keynote -- to do that I need to, I believe, first transfer these 'snips' to iMovie. Leaving aside copyright questions (hey, I'm just a teacher!) does anybody know how to do this?
Right now I'm just playing the movie on my apple DVD player, and trying to figure out how to 'snip' the pertinent clips, and transfer them to i-Movie clips.
Thank you!
