File extensions lost periods avi mpg wmv

After Installing Security Update 2007-005 PPC (and Quicktime 7.1.6) on a PB G4 400 and mounting a shared volume on a DT G4 without it installed, all files lost their periods. That is everything with an avi, mpg or wmv extension had the period replaced with a space. They display that way as well through the PB remotely. W T F
G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Yes, I've used AVI files just fine. iTunes will take uncompressed AVI files perfectly well. But if the AVI is using a weird codec like DivX or XviD, then iTunes probably can't read it.
Basically, if Quicktime can play it, you can probably drag it into iTunes.

.mods are (somekind of) mpegs ...
At first I though he was talking about the ancient audio .mod files:
"The first version of the format was created by Karsten Obarski for use in the Soundtracker tracker released for the Amiga computer in 1987".

Oh, nostalgia ain't what it used to be!

How can I convert the projects files (*.prel) to a AVI or WMV format? Is that possible?

I'm actually using Adobe Premiere Elements 10.

rayssasouza
There is no "Publish+Share" in Premiere Elements 10. Publish+Share/ is the Premiere Elements 11 and 12 counterpart of Premiere Elements 10's Share/.
If you have established your Premiere Elements 10 (assumed Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit) Timeline, you can export that to an .avi file and .wmv file and many other formats from the Share area. Remember, .avi and .wmv are just file extensions that wrap the video and audio compression, so, when deciding on export choices, good to keep in mind all the properties that you seek for your export. All that being said...
General idea....
For avi file...
Share
Computer
AVI
and then you set for the appropriate Presets.=
For .wmv file
Share
Computer
Windows Media
and then you set for the appropriate Presets =
I suspect what generated your question was that you are not seeing the AVI and Windows Media choices under Share/Computer/.
If that is so, you need to use the thin scroll bar to the right of the choices and scroll down to AVI and Windows Media to see them
and others toward the bottom of the list there.
Please review and consider. Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

PSE 7 adding unmanaged files slow with video (.avi .mpg)

I take mostly pictures (.jpg) with some video clips (.avi or .mpg) from my digicam. The files (pics and vids) are transfered from SD card into my managed folder structure. Then in PSE 7 i right click on the topmost folder of my managed folder structure and select Add Unmanaged Files to Orgainzer. PSE then Searches for Files To Import by scaning through all of my files currently in the Organizer (i can tell by the displayed thumbs and paths). Pictures are processed very quickly but the import process REALLY bogs down on the video files. This process also generally crushes the responsiveness of my PC (i7, 6GB RAM, ATI 3450 128MB video card, Vista 64bit SP2) even when PSE isn't the active window. I have a CPU Usage sidebar gadget and none of the 8 'cores' are being taxed. In my collection I have according to PSE Organizer 231 video files out of 9359 total files (so 9128 are pics) and my last import took nearly an hour before I could tag the newly added files. In the interim my PC was unusable for other tasks. As the # of videos in my catalog has increased so has the time for the import because PSE for some reason has to deal with all the files already in the catalog on every import, including the troublesome video clips.
What is going on with the Organizer when videos (.avi or .mpg) are being added? Why is it so slow on each video file and why does the adding of unmanaged files generally crush my system (its useless even when the import isn't dealing w/ a video)?
For comparison Picasa 3 adds new files (both pics and vids) from my watched file structure automatically on startup very quickly and does not impact useability of my PC and I can even use Picasa while the files are being added. It all happens so fast and with no impact.

I'm still curious if anyone has any insights on slow Adding of Unmanaged Files to Organizer.
A new spin on this is after moving a number of files from my camera to disk folder system (via windows explorer) then starting PSE 7 some time later, PSE asked if I wanted to add files from watched folders to the organizer. I selected No because I needed to do something else at that time and was afraid of the timeconsuming process i mentioned in my original post. Now after subsequently exiting and restarting PSE with the intent of adding unmanaged files, PSE didn't ask if I wanted to perform this operation. If No means no for this batch then there should also be an option that says 'Not Now' or 'Later'.

Importing .mod file extension

Purchased the new digital video camera (JVC) which has a hard drive instead of taping thinking that I could download to my Mac video segments from one hard drive (JVC) to the Mac. But.....of course.... it's not that easy. My Mac recognizes the camera's hard drive (no problem there) after plugging in the firewire from camera to Mac, but the files are UNREADABLE!!!!!! It has a .mod file extension. To view the video on the Mac I have to use JVC's software which of course is totally worthless since the point was putting together a IMovie, etc. Is there a 3rd party software that will bridge this ( I do own Dazzle... but that defeats the purpose since I bought that for analogue tapes!!!!) And, of course, Best Buy won't take the camera back since it's past the 2 week purchase.

You may have already found a solution to your dilemma. If not, this is what I would try.
Purchase the MPEG-2 Playback Component ($20 Apple Store).
Download MPEG Streamclip (free).
Mount the hard drive and drag the .mod file to your Desktop.
Rename the file by changing the file extension from .mod to .mpg and open the file with MPEG Streamclip.
Use it to convert the file to DV Stream (.dv). This new .dv file can be opened by iMovie (for further edits) or QuickTime Pro for edits and export to various formats.

IPhone photo/video library glitch - wrong file extensions, name shift, lost files etc [LONG story - sorry]

I have a 5s running 7.0.4. and my computer is running Windows 8.1.
We had a baby and my phone filled up fast with pictures and videos, so I decided to offload them onto my PC. I connected my phone to the usb port, and directly copied from the DCIM folder to my hard drive.
Something happened during the first attempt, and the process was interrupted. So I went into each of the sub folders, and selected all files, and started the copy process again. I told the computer to skip any existing files.
So all the file counts matched in each folder, and I figured it was safe to start deleting from my iPhone.
On my hard drive, I separated all the MOV files into my Videos folder. But in Windows Explorer, the thumbnail view showed several MOV files with no thumbnail - just the generic icon.
As I sorted my photos into various folders, I also noticed a lot of generic icons instead of thumbnails for the JPGs. I started to feel concerned that my files had become corrupt during the transfer. But then I noticed a PNG file that was a few hundred megabytes. This was odd, so I added the MOV extension to it. Sure enough, it was a video with the wrong extension.
I renamed every PNG and JPG file that had no thumbnail to add the MOV extension. Every one was a video with the wrong file extension.
Then I went to the video folder, and all the MOV files that had the generic icon were actually JPG files.
Well I was just happy to see that the files were not corrupt.
One more time before I deleted things from my iPhone, I did a spot check to see that the largest videos were on my hard drive. I found a few videos that were not copied over, despite the file counts having been accurate. So I copied the videos again, and compared file sizes and date/times when there was an overwrite prompt. Most were matches, but several were the same file name with different sizes and dates.
I didn't know what was going on, but I just wanted to get the files on my computer. So I renamed my local copy where there was a name collision, and copied the videos. I deleted the videos from my phone as I went along.
I felt pretty confident that I had all the files copied now, so I began mass deleting my photos.
I went to the Photos app on the phone, and watched the thousands of pictures disappear, and the glorious free space grow on my phone.
But wait... there was still 1 video in the Photos app. I thought I had gotten all the MOV files off the phone...
I have a photo info app installed, so I was able to see the file name of the video. I searched for that file name in the DCIM subfolders, but the folder that had that series of files (the IMG_3000-3999 files) listed the files with that particular video skipped. It was clearly still on my phone, because I could play it.
Then I noticed it was a 45 minute long video of my baby. About 5 GB. So I figured it must be due to the file size that it wasn't visible from explorer. (Can't explain why that would be, but M$ keeps changing crap too. I never freaking know what to expect from them either.)
After having deleted all the jpg, png and mov files from the DCIM folder, there were still about 26 files in my camera roll on the iPhone. And I could still view the video.
I decided I wasn't concerned about the photos, I just wanted to figure out how to get the video onto my computer.
So I selected all the photos in the photo app (skipping the 1 remaining video) and tapped the trash can.
Poof! One item remained, and it was one of the garbage photos. My video is GONE! ^#@*&#($^@Q&%( And no, I didn't fat-finger it. I was very careful to select the correct thumbnails.
Looking back, I know that I should have just started the entire file copy process from scratch when funny stuff started happening like mismatched file names. But I am a sleep-deprived new mom and just wasn't thinking clearly. It would be nice if I could have used my file/directory compare program to check the iPhone against my laptop, but it is not compatible with devices, only removable drives.
And no, I don't use iTunes. I stopped using iTunes years ago when it would randomly decide to delete contacts from my phone just because they didn't exist on my computer or some sh-- like that. I have always just manually synced all my stuff and have never had an issue like this. To say I am sad to lose that video is an understatement.
I googled "iPhone undelete" and "iPhone data recovery" and downloaded a trial for one of the likely candidates. It turned up a bunch of garbage, but not my video.
Anyways... I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this type of scenario? Has anybody identified what could cause this to happen? I would like to avoid this in the future. (I will avoid this type of loss, because I know now what I could have done differently to be more careful. But it would be nice if I didn't have to get all neurotic about checking 60GB of photos/videos side by side each time I copy them to my computer...)
I have seen other threads on the forum here regarding corrupted libraries and such, but I am not sure this is the same thing.
One suspicion I have is that it might have to do with the iPhoto app being installed on the phone. I can't articulate why I think that is worth considering. But when I looked at my Video folder, I ended up with many duplicate videos, and all the duplicated videos' file names were 2 numbers apart. As if all the file names got shifted at some point. Very strange.
Thanks for listening to my rant. If anybody has an idea, I am interested. If anybody else has lost precious memories due to this, we should talk. If it is a widespread problem, maybe we can all get together and pound down Apple's door?
As an aside: Why am I unable to select Apple Support Community to post this question to?

In my case number of weird things happen whenever I try to copy pictures/videos from my iPhone from direct USB...
1. JPG files are wrongly named as MOV and vice versa.
2. I copy only folders but in addition files with no extension are copied in the main folder, very strange.
3. Whenever I open one of the folders, strange icons like this () start appearing which cannot be copied even.
Unfortunately I used to delete a lot of files with wrong extensions in the past because I never new they could be fixed.
Apple should answer this!
Note: I am using Windows 8.1 and use a direct USB cable without iTunes to copy the media files directly from My Computer.

Is it possible to save file doc,avi,mpg on the Micro Z

Can I save file.doc, avi, mpg, iso and others on the Micro Zen? Is it possible? or i can only file.mp3?

Also, you should NEVER use an MP3 player as a single source for data files. Make sure you keep backups and I would only recommend using it for transferring where the original file is still somewhere safe.

What is the file extension for photoshop for the blanks following the period in "photoshop,___"? I have an older desktop which includes older photoshop files which I have asked a technician to extract for me. He asks for the extension. I can't

I ned the extension for the photoshop program, that is, the letters following the period as shown by the blanks in this: "photoshop.____" I cannot find the extension in my laptop. The photoshop program is a couple of years old and my files are in a desktop out of use for a couple years. I brought the desktop to a technician, asking him to extract the photos. He asks me for the file extension.

If you using Windows you can use the control panel Folder options or from Windows File explorer menu tools>Folder options view tab to change what Microsoft hide on you. Have windows display extension. Apple hide information from users also.

Can't Edit Video Property Tags - e.g. .avi, .mpg, etc

I have recently upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate and I wanted to organize my videos by adding tags such as title, genre, etc.
I have read other posts on this and nothing has been helpful. It seems that the moderators keep making the same suggestion to go to Properties>Details, but once they are told
it doesn't work, they do not respond again.
I have tried right clicking on a video and going to Properties> Details and while I can see any information that is there, it is not editable.
I have tried editing it through Windows Media Player. I can edit it there, but when I try to update the file by going to Organize> Apply Media Information Changes (as suggested
in these forums) the files still do not update (i.e. if I go to properties>details, I will not see the information updated there).
I can edit the sample video (.wmv) but as I said I cannot edit properties of my own videos (.avi, .mpg). I have windows 7 at work as well and I seem to be able to edit the properties
of a couple of M4V and Quicktime Movie Files, can’t find any .avi files to test.
I am getting really frustrated with this issue. It seems like it should be an extremely simple thing, and yet it doesn't work. I don't understand why it works for some video files
and not others.
Are there specific video file formats for which you can't edit the properties?
Is there a way these files could have become "locked"? We have tried to make sure that we have full permissions set, and it appears that we do, but are there particular permissions
we could be missing?
The files in question are stored on an External Drive and accessed through the Video Library in Windows Explorer, although copying them to any other location doesn't make the properties
editable.
The only way I have been able to edit these properties and see the changes in window explorer (see them by going back to properties>details) is by using a 3rd party program called
abcavi but while it works sometimes, it corrupts the files other times, so it's not a good solution.
Basically, I know HOW it's supposed to work, but it DOESN'T, so please give me some advice on how to make it work or explain why it doesn't. This is VERY frustrating.

Windows Explorer and WMP probably don't write tags to files in AVI and MPEG format, because these formats don't properly support tagging. I think that it's advisable to instead use new formats, that have proper tagging support, like WMV or MPEG-4.
To edit the tags of AVI and MPEG files,
you could also give ExifTool a try. ExifTool is a command-line application, but you can download
ExifTool GUI to get a nice interface. I haven't tried these programs myself, but it looks like they will do the job.

Premiere Elements 10 MAC OSX, can't export to AVI or WMV and Crashes everytime

I recently bought Adobe Premiere Elements 10 3 days ago, instead of FCPX because of pricing issues (Difference around 175€). This App, since i have installed it, keeps crashing every time, with simple actions like split a clip, adding a effects, using subtitles, etc. A video editing app that only exports to wmv or avi on pc version is shameful. I can't even use flip for mac to export to wmv... witch is one of the most used file extensions around the world as well as AVI. This information is not shared on the app store, and i found it later on forums and on adobe website. I am not happy at all and I wish to have my money back. Since i bought it on the Apple App Store, they told me to talk directly to adobe.
The order number is: MH3SJK7FDJ
Waiting for your response
Regards
Martim Durão

Martime,
If you have purchased Premiere Elements, within 30 days, then Adobe offers a full, money-back guarantee, and all you will have to do is contact Adobe with your S/N and invoice info, to return the program for a full refund. Just do not let the 30 days pass.
As for the Supported Export File Formats, see this Adobe KB Article. Note the "Windows Only" besides AVI and WMV.
Now, many Mac-users have had good luck with Flip4Mac, regarding WMV files. Not sure why that is not working for you. Most of those users are on PrPro, but I would not think that would make a real difference, but could be wrong there?
Good luck,
Hunt

Quicktime automatically adding file extension?!

I use Quicktime for all my video playback - so i'm assuming my problem lies with this?
I do VJing and when I'm downloading video clips (non-mpg4) i.e. avi, flv etc - the downloaded files are adding a '.mpg' extension onto the file - so that it wont playback automatically in quicktime. For example a file downloaded called '1234.avi' ends up in my download/desktop folder as '1234.avi.mpg'?
The problem means I have to manually alter each file name deleting the .mpg file extension (and confirming each time that I want to change it) - so it will load in quicktime. I'm assuming it may be because I have ticked the box on 'always open this file type with quicktime' - which is what I want, but how do I stop it adding the file extension each time?

Thanks for your help. I wasn't aware you could disable that alert in the finder? I'll have to look at doing that.
Whilst I take your comments on board - are you suggesting that Safari (web browser being used) - is adding the file extension on download?

Double file extensions keep showing up when saving a file in Illustrator CS3???

I just installed the CS3 suite and when I am saving files in illustrator I keep getting double file extensions. For example if I save a file named "filename" as a .eps file it shows up in the save window with filename.eps.eps Also, if I click through the possible file types to save it keeps adding them one after the other so if I click. say pdf eps and ai the file in the "Save As:" window looks like this " filename.pdf.eps.ai.ai" Any ideas why this is happening? I keep having to mouse click in the "Save As:" box and delete the extra extension. This is really annoying!!
I am running the design premium CS3 on OSX 10.5 on a mac pro.
Thanks.

>Wade... I've seen it... and reported it originally to Adobe. I've since realized it's a 10.5.1 issue. It doesn't happen with 10.4.11, just 10.5.1
I've seen extra periods (.) and extra extensions.
then you and Dave have the same conflict with a third party software, corrupt font, corrupt preference or the like because it is not happening o my Mac Pro and I have the same model Mac as you do and I am working fine in 10.5.1 and only problem I have had with AI CS 3 is when I tried to place a 3D CAD file with the extension .dxf which is not really supported.
I have not seen this even once. Would you like to see screen shots, it honestly is not a 10.5.1 or Illustrator issue on its own. This has to be user specific.

Windows 7 No Longer Recognizes The .zfsendtotarget File Extension

My Windows 7 no longer recognizes the .zfsendtotarget file extension as of a few days ago. I don't know what happened or how to fix it other than possibly going back to an earlier point, which I cannot do due to all the progress, which will be lost.
Besides, there must be a more intelligent course of action.

Hi DJjarak,
I just write to check your issue's status. Did it resolve?
