Help. edited video saved on PC, can't play the file
Adobe 9 on XP. 90 minute video. Tried to "share" via email, but it wouldn't send properly (after two, 3 hour uploads). So I saved it in a file on my PC (another 3 hour ordeal) , an FLV file (1,198,045 KB).
When I tried to open the FLV file, a previously installed video conversion utility trial version had expired, so I am unable to play without upgrading to the paid version. Do I have to convert the file? Doesn't Adobe Element 9 convert it before saving it? Are ther any recommended free versions of a file transfer utility?
Will I, and others, ever be able to watch this damn video?
For one thing, you'll never be able to make an e-mailable ninety minute video file. In fact, a video that long would not likely play on most web sites.
As I say in my books, an e-mailable file would have to be under a minute to work at all and very low resolution. Beyond that, you'd be better off posting the video to a web site and e-mailing a link to it.
And, yes, you will need a Flash player to play an FLV file. Many web sites (like YouTube) have a Flash player built right into the web site.
But, if you want to play an FLV file on your computer, you'll need a standalone Flash player like this one:

Since you're new with this program, I'd very much recommend you start with a much shorter video project. At least until you make sure all of your systems work.

Itunes can't play the file because the original file can not be found
There is many things wrong with that message and I don't know why.
I had around 30 songs off an album on my computer
I put the album on Itunes
I edited them and then they played fine
I put them on my ipod and then deleted them off coz i wanted to put something else on
but i found out I had more space to put the other 30 songs I had from before back on so I went to the album
when I wanted to play a song it said "Itunes Can't play the file because the original file can not be found"
1) The original file was on my computer, in the exact place where I left it last time when Itunes played it
2) I did not change the file path name
3) I did not change the folder path name
4) The songs aren't corrupted
5) They play fine on other programs
I deleted them all off and took them on again and they played fine but whey did they keep stuffing up before?The "missing file" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then say no when asked to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. I can provide a step by step guide if you give me the two paths.
In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps and locate the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links. Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.

Help! I cancelled migration and can´t find the files transferred
Hi,
I just got a new Macbook Pro retina and tried migrating with my old Macbook Pro 2010.
I then cancelled the migration.
After cancellation, I noticed that the Space Utilized on the disk is 118.83GB, which means that some files were transferred before cancelling migration.
My question is how to find these files?
I am a Mac user but not in any means an expert, so ant help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
DimiHi Csound1,
Thanks for your quick response.
I only can see one user account.
Is there another way to see the other one? -
Can't play iTune file I received by email in iTunes?
I received an iTune audio file by email but I can't play the file nor import the file into the library. If I click on the file it opens iTunes but nothing else happens. Any suggestions?
Did you bounce at 44.1kHz, 16 bit? AIFF or AAC or MP3 should be fine for iTunes, but sample rate and bit depth is important.

I currently have a mbp 2.3 gighuz intel core 7 16 gig of ram with two internal hard drives ( took super drive out) which for a video editor like myself is a dream I can edit video anywhere, my question can I order a new mbp with 2 internal flash drives?
I wouldn't think so because the newer ones with Retina displays don't have an internal SuperDrive that can be replaced. Therefore the newer logic boards wouldn't have the two SATA/SATA Express connections on the logic board.
At least that was the case as of 2012. I've seen newer ones and they also don't have a SuperDrive. -

When I import my Sony video, which is in m2ts format, the file size is a few times larger. This affects the volume of clips for creating the blu-ray or DVD discs. How can I squeeze the file size without sacrificing the quality of output? Is there any other ways of achieving this?

Thanks. I do not have the experience on burning discs from iMovie for the movie after editing (ie for video discs players). It seems that i cannot find the relevant command in the tool bar for this purpsoe. Would you please show me the way?
The command is gone because iDVD has been discontinued by Apple. After Apple discontinued iDVD they removed the iDVD burning link from iMovie. I still use iDVD sometimes, only because I have an old copy.

You have mentioned about Handbrake as a converter. What is the RF no. (under Constant Quality) meant? It seems that the smaller the no. is, the better quality will be. What is the optimal no.? or should we use the Average Bitrate? Again, what is the best rate? Furthermore, which format is more suitable or the best: H264 or mpeg 2/4?
I don't know what RF means. When I have used HandBrake, I've used presets that apply to what I want to do, so I don't know the meaning of each individual setting. However, it appears that many of them are listed in the HandBrake User's Guide that is linked from the Help menu in the program:

For iMac, except iMovie, what other software is the best for the amateur? I have read Photoshop. Can this support m2ts files and user friendly?
Photoshop is not amateur-level software, and although it can edit a video, it cannot burn a DVD. Unfortunately, because I still use iMovie, I haven't tried anything else. You might want to read the reviews of various DVD-burning applications in the Mac App Store.

I can't play the videos on my ipod
i had some quicktime videos on my computer so i uploaded them onto iTunes and then in iTunes i converted it to AAC format or whatever. it uploads onto the ipod and i can clearly see it on there in iTunes but when i try to watch it on my ipod the video does not show up. can you help please
where do i check that? and if it did turn into an audio file would you happen to know how to make it an audio/video file?
For future reference: Open the file in the running QuickTime Player by navigating to your iTunes library storage area (or other specified directory if you changed this) and selecting the appropriate file. If the file opens without a display screen (i.e., just the slider), this it is a sound only file. If a screen does appear, then open the "Show Movie Info" window under the Window menu and check the "format" entry to see the Audio/Video compression that was used to create the file. (It is always a good idea to check this as a first step when troubleshooting a file doesn't play correctly or won't sync to the iPod.)
If the file is determined to be sound only, then somewhere along the line it was mistakenly converted to an audio only file, the video was extracted mistakenly from the original file which was then saved, or the audio track was somehow extracted and then saved as a new file. If, on the other hand, the file still contains both audio and video content, then as someone else mentioned, check you iTunes settings to see if the file is being considered a music video with video simply turned off.

I recently purchased QuickTime 7 Pro to convert avi files to mov files for editing on Imovie. However, QuickTime won't play the files. How can I get them to play and how can I convert them to mov files?
I recently purchased QuickTime 7 Pro to convert avi files to mov files for editing on Imovie. However, QuickTime won't play the files. How can I get them to play and how can I convert them to mov files?
Both the AVI and the MOV file extensions refer to the file container and not the compressed data the file contains. Both are generic file containers in that each may contain any valid combination of audio and/or video data that is compatible with the codec component configuration of the system on which the file was created. On the other hand, whether a file is playback compatible, conversion compatible, and/or edit compatible depends on the data actually contained in the file container. So, you are basically dealing with two separate issues here—the container and what is inside it.
Basically, if you want to make your files ediit compatible with iMovie, you must change your file container to one that is acceptable to iMovie and convert the data to edit compatible audio and/or video compression formats as may be necessary. The best approach is to determine what codecs were actually used to create the original AVI files and add them to your system if possible. In most cases a codec package like Perian can be added to your system's codec component configuration to may the AVI file playable. Once they are playable, in the QT 7 app then they can be chnged or converted to file types and compression formats that can be edited in iMovie. (While Perian handles most codecs commonly used to create AVI files, it does not handle all possibilities and, while the Perian codec package still works under cureent Mac OS versions, its development group has decided to drop further development/support of the package.)
Background: AVI is a file container originally developed by Microsoft back in 1992 but for which official support was discontinued about 11 years. Despite its limitations, Windows users still tend to use this file based on its open source ease of use and generic nature, thus, making its use so popular that most users are unwilling to switch to more modern but less generic file types. Since some AVI legacy compression formats have never been transcoded for the Mac or use beyond OS 9 or OS X PPC platforms, it is often important to know what specific compression formats are contained in the AVI file to know which codecs to add to your system and which not to add in order to avoid possible codec conflicts.
You can use many different converters to convert AVI files to iMovie edit compatible files. Most third-party apps contain their own buit-in codecs which do not relay on the Mac codec component configuration. Free ones, like HandBrake, usually have limited conversion capabilities while those that have more varied outputs are usually commercial in nature and will cost you additional cash. QT 7 Pro or the free MPEG Streamclip app allow you to access you own system's component configuration and use any available codec component like DV, AIC, MPEG-4, H.264, Photo JPEG, etc.—all of which are iMovie compatible for editing purposes—but only after making the AVI file QT 7 player compatible.
In order to determine what compression formats wewre used in your AVI files you can
1) Try checking the Finder "Info" window,
2) Use the "Inspector", "Media Info", or "Properties" window of any player app that will open the file, or
3) Use a general media utility app like "MediaInfo" to read the file characteristics. -

Premiere CS6 won't import mov files, the message: "file has no video or audio streams" shows up instead. How can I import the files?
MOV is a wrapper that can contain many different codecs. The message you get is indicative of a distribution codec inside the MOV wrapper. You may need to convert the material to an editable codec before importing.

Message was edited by: BigDealCam123As you probably know the Canon plug-in enables Log & Transfer in FCP7. I'm not sure whether it works with Final Cut Express or not.
Look in Applications>Canon Utilities. I'm running 10.6 as well and that is where it's located on my machine.
Good luck.
