FCPX won't accept ".dv" video file

Why won't FCPX won't accept what FCE used to work with??
This is the file type:

Start with one of the uncompressed base settings
If the original is DV, why go to uncompressed and not straight to ProRes? Uncompressed files will be huge (perhaps 7 times as large as ProRes, which is already massive) and I am not sure there will be much to gain, but I am willing to be enlightened.

Premiere pro cs6 won't load AVCHD video files

why won't premiere pro cs6 load video files?
Premiere pro application loads but won't load HD video files.

What codec packs do you have loaded? With a straight installation I have had any problems loading my Sony AVCHD 1920 x 1080 files in any version of Premiere. What is your source of your media?

Lightroom 4--4.1---4.2 will not accept .mpg video files

Lightroom 4, 4.1 and 4.2 will not accept .mpg video files. I have to Convert these files from .mpg to mp4 in order for any of the lightrooms 4--4.2 to accept the videos. Yet in the http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/video-support-lightroom-4-3.html it states : Extensions supported---MPG, so why do I have to convert all my video files to mp4??????

A particular file extension doesn’t dictate the actual video and audio codecs in a particular video file. I expect what is happening is that LR doesn’t understand one or both of the codecs and it needs the file converted one a set it does understand.
Did the videos work in LR3 but not LR4?
Can you play the original MPGs in QuickTime?

Premiere won't accept new source files in slightly different formats...

I'm using CS3 (and I installed CS4 and got the same problem). I've created a video using six different source videos that were originally encoded in XVID. I now know that was a bad idea but at the time I didn't know how to convert the video so I went ahead and used them. Now my project crashes to the desktop whenever I open it without any sort of error message.
This is a project that I started over a year ago and I set it aside because I didn't want to deal with the issue, but I really want to finish this project. Now I have a better handle on what sort of codecs work well with premiere and I use Super C to convert the videos to a friendly format and I haven't had any problems with my projects crashing since then.
So now I've revisted the project that is crashing and I have tried converting the original source videos to a more friendly format, but hte problem is, even when I get it to a format that is pretty much exactly the same settings as the original (size, fps, etc) premiere won't accept it. When I open the project and it asks me "Where is the file..." I'll point to the new file and premiere tells me "The selected file cannot be linked because its type (video) does not match original file's type (audio and video)".. I try this after opening the project by right clicking on the asset and choosing "link media..." but of course I get the same error message.
What i've gotten done in the project is like 10 hours worth of work and it would be a shame to lose all of it just because Premiere is too picky about switching from one media type to another .. what are my options in getting this to work?

Welcome to the forum.
Yes, Xvid is a delivery-only format for delivery-only, but you know that too.
What I would do would be to Open that original Project, and then Offline the original Video. If you named the converted files the same, except for the extension, you should be able to then Import the replacement files and manually replace those. Make sure that when you choose to Offline the Assets, that you do a Save_As, so that the original Project is NOT overwritten - keep it safe.
You might try to Relink from the Project Panel, before you do the Import. I do not know if that will be allowed, due to the extension difference, but that would be the easiest way, if it works. Try that first. With the material Offline, Rt-click on each AV file, and choose Link Media. If you used the same file names, you should be able to find the converted versions. Let us know if this works, or if you get rejected.
Good luck,
Hunt

Elements 12 wont accept .mov video files

What is the Brand/Model/Settings for the camera that recorded this video? Any chance, MotionJPEG video compression?
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer? Are you running your program from a User Account with
Administrative Privileges and also have applied Run As Administrator?
Since this is a rush on your side, let us go with just the above for the moment. If that is not the answer, then I will put you through the

ITunes 11 won't import .mov video files from external hard drive but will from internal.

Hi Everyone
I'm having a problem with iTunes 11.0.1. I can't import .mov video files stored on an external hard drive. I can however import .m4v files from the same external drive. Using either the add to library option or dragging files from the finder.
I can add .mov files from the internal though. Strange I know.
The reason behind this posting is that I'm using iFlicks to convert my TV and movies from my external drive for Apple TV and add all relevent meta data, keeping the files on the external drive and having iTunes link to them.
I would like to be able to simply create a general iTune compatiable file using iFlicks which only takes a minute or two per file to convert. I'm currently converting them to .m4v just for the sack of being able to import them into iTunes from an external drive takes 45 minutes per file.
Has anybody else had this problem? Any ideas on a fix to allow me to import .mov files from an external drive into iTunes without copying it to the iTune library file.
Many Thanks
Dave

This might be worth a shot - basically seeing if Vista permissions could be the culprit.
Give yourself FULL control and ownership of the exHD, let's call it M:
How to Take Ownership and Grant Permissions in Windows Vista
Take control of the top level folder and ALL subfolders.
Try creating a new blank ITL file on M: by pressing *and holding* the shift key while itunes starts. See if you can add everything again.

Premiere Pro v6.0.3 won't accept drag & dropped files from Sony's XDCAM Browser v2.1

Premiere Pro reports a "generic file import" error when I try to drag & drop my video files (.mxf) from Sony's XDCAM browser directly into Premiere Pro project window. However, I can drag & drop the same file(s) directly from a file folder on my computer and I can also use the "file import" from Premiere Pro drop down menu to import the same files with no problems.
Also, I can successfully drag & drop video files (.m2ts) from Sony's Content Management Utility into Premiere.
But why can't I drag and drop the same files (.mxf) directly from my Sony XDCAM Browser. It appears to me that my issue is related specifically to XDCAM Browser & the .mxf files it supports (note: Sony's Content Management Utility does support .mxf files so I can't simply use that Utility).
Windows 7, 64bit
CS6
Sony XDCAM Browser v2.1
Sincerely,
Joe

I try to drag & drop my video files (.mxf) from Sony's XDCAM browser directly into Premiere Pro project window.
You need to use the Media Browser within Premiere
to import these files.
Copy the entire contents of the media card to an internal drive first.

DVD Studio Pro 1.5 Won't Recognize Any Video Files

Hello, everyone! I guess this might be a little prehistoric, but I really need help. I have the dinosaur, DVD Studio Pro 1.5, and for some reason it won't recognize any .m2v's, .mpeg's, or anything else. As I understand it, DVD Studio Pro 1.5 will only take MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 files, but whenever I use them, it says, "Error: Unknown File Type," in the Log.
Can someone help me? Perhaps there is a way to make it accept more than just MPEG-1 & 2?
Thanks so much!

Well, I used the requirements for Widescreen NTSC in BitVice. The requirements are given in the DVD Studio Pro 1.5 manual. However, when I went to drag the file into DVD Studio Pro 1.5, the log came up and said: ERROR: 480 is not the proper height for a PAL file.
So, I knew that it must only want PAL files.
Another problem:
To apply videos for a Motion Menu, I am supposed to click on the menu in the Graphical View, and go to "Asset" under "Picture," and select the video I want. The problem is, it won't show ANY .m2v's in the Asset drop box. It will show my Photoshop files, though. And, I'm sorry to say that those files you offered me didn't work either. (They didn't show up under the Asset drop box.)
[Thanks so much, by the way! They had NO trouble importing to DVD Studio Pro!]
Here's a picture of my computer and the missing files in the "Assets" drop box.

After Effects CC won't import short video files

I have a project with hundreds of h.264 videos, some of which are only 1 or 2 frames in length. When I try to import these short files, AE freezes and I have to force quit the application.
I have a project file created with an older version of After Effects with these files already imported, and AE CC can't open these files, and hangs whenever I access any comps with the files in them. This was not a problem with the previous version of AE, and I've temporarilly gotten around the issue by running a trial of AE CS 5.5, but I don't have a serial for it and the trial is going to expire soon. I'm not sure what the problem is. Is there a way to correct this problem?
I'm using macbook pro, with OS 10.9.2, and all Adobe CC software is up to date.

The same issue appears to happen when I try importing a small sampling of these files into Media Encoder. After dragging the files over, the program just beachballs, doesn't appear to be importing the files, and the program is not responding.

Movie importing problems (won't accept quicktime .mov files)

I have tried to import several movies, three of which are edited off of final cut pro and two which are dowloaded quicktime movies. I get the pop-up which says "Some of the videos in you iTunes library, including the video "Movie", were not copied to the iPod "My iPod" because they cannot be played on this iPod." Every one of the movies has been converted into a quicktime movie and is a .mov file, which accoring to the web-site should be easily played on the iPod? Anyone know what I can do?

Even tho the files are.mov they also have to be a certain fps size (Frame Per Second). here is the exact details on what iPod supports best in the format you have
MPEG-4
File formats: .m4v, .mp4, and .mov
Video: Up to 2.5 Mbits/sec, 480 x 480, 30 fps, Simple Profile.
Audio: AAC-LC up to 160 kbits/sec, 48 Khz, stereo audio.

File splitter won't accept some text files

sorry, this is in the wrong place is there any way i can move it to general programming?
i'm making a file splitter to split large text files into smaller parts. so far everything works as far as test files that i make, however, sometimes when i copy and paste text off the internet, for example, the splitter does not import any of the text as if it can't recognize it. what might i be able to do to get it to recognize this kind of text. the files were saved as ANSI encoding, if it matters.

}the program works perfectly for most files, but certain ones, and i'm not sure how they differ, do not get read at all. Is there a kind of text that will not get read? all files were saved with notepad.
no error is thrown on these, but the length() function returns 0.
i've also tried using scan.next() and nextByte() as well, to no success, with appropriate hasNext...() calls
if anyone's wondering, this is to make files easily accessible to ipods with 4kb text file limits on what they can show.
i am now thinking of accepting web pages as raw source and parsing out <...>

Instead of using a Scanner why not use a BufferedReader which will handle files that use either '\n' or '\r' as line terminators. After all, all you are doing is reading the file in line by line and storing into a string with out the newline character.

Im trying to add a ringtone but iTunes 11 won't accept my .m4r file

I have recently made a ringtone in Adobe Audition for my iPhone 4. Apon completion, I saved the file as .mp3, but but later changed it to .m4r. I looked threw a few discussions and tried nearly all that was suggested to me, (such as...) going to "File" "Add to Library" *Select ringtone "Add". Everybody's telling me it will add the "Tones"File but it won't add it, iTunes completely ignores what I am trying to do. I've tried going threw "Finder" and adding it manually... But iTunes still just ignores it. I'm not sure what to do at this point so I shall ask the community...

This is embarassing... Problem solved, I found another page that told me I had to go into iTunes and tell the iPhone to sync tones. I had no knowledge of this step until now, very sorry. Everyone who see's this question, please remember to do that last step. All of my ringtones work now.

Windows Movie Maker won't accept my Quicktime file

can you give me the hints? I tried converting the quicktime file and it's worked, because now it has the windows media thumbnail, BUT it still doesnt work in the movie player..

Windows Movie Maker does not import MOV files as you surmised. Third party software is necessary to convert it for importation to WMM.
One such software(free) that works is: 'RAD Video Tools' from 'Bink and Smacker':
www.radgametools.com/bnkdown.htm
The RAD Video Tools software will allow you to convert MOV files to AVI files, which will import into WMM
A FAQ page on converting files w/the RAD s/w is here:
www.radgametools.com/binkhcon.htm
It may look intimidating at first but all you really need to do is:
1) Browse to your MOV file, select it, then click 'convert a file' at bottom menu.
2) Then in the new window that pops up, make sure the output file type is .AVI(the default output file type should be AVI), then click on 'convert' at right menu.
3) Import the newly created AVI file into WMM
Hope this is helpful,

IPod won't accept a WAV file - why??

I have a 4th-gen iPod nano, and I need to copy some WAV files onto it. However, when I sync the iPod, the WAV files don't appear on the iPod (even though I have not received an error message about copying them). The WAV files are ones I recorded myself, and edited in the program GoldWave. They are PCM signed 24 bit mono files. Does the iPod nano not accept WAV files in the PCM signed 24 bit mono format? If not, how do I need to format the files in order to be able to play them back on my iPod? Thanks very much for any help you can give me!!!

I have .wav files on a pc and am trying to transfer them to an ipod classic to either listen to on the device or to transfer into itunes. These are voice recordings. All of the files transfered but they are corrupted. How do I this properly?
Plus..I'm in a bit of a rush.

Ichat won't accept or send file transfers/freezes

I am running OS X 10.7.5 on my computer here at work, the same as everyone else here. We all use ichat, and we often use file transfers. For the past year or so, if I try to accept a file transfer, ichat freezes. Recently (within the past 2 weeks), even sending images (which used to be fine) causes ichat to freeze, and the image isn't sent. Occasionally it works, but usually not. Larger files never send.
When I go to Window>File Transfers, loading this windows also causes iChat to freeze, and I have to restart. If I restart after doing this, ichat refuses to load, immediately freezing (because it is trying to load that file transfer window), and I end up having to delete the com.apple.iChat.plist file from my preferences in order to get ichat to open at all.
I have googled this issue a lot but have never found a solution. Please help!

Hi,
You List Lion (OS X 10.7.x) so that mean iChat 6.
Which service are you using ?
Bonjour, AIM or Jabber to do this ?
The AIM account, if you have one, will login to the server on port 443.
However to send Pics-in-Chats or Files then it changes to using port 5190.
It would be unusual for one computer on the LAN network to be blocked for this port.
It is possible to block it on a Mac.
In the Finder use the Go Menu > Go to Folder and type /etc as the name of the folder.
This will open the etc folder (which is in Hard Drive Name/Private and is normally hidden)
Navigate to the Hosts files and Open With TextEdit.
It should read like this if unaltered
It would normally be used to block Servers (IP addresses) rather than specific Ports
If it is the Bonjour account try deleting the com.apple.iChat.Subnet.plist (it is in the same folder as the com.apple.ichat.plist one is).
