HELP! How to import .mpg movies from a photocamera?

I'm trying to import mpg movies in Imovie, but it doesn't accept this format. I also tried to convert it to a mp4 file, but they are low res and I need high res (tv use).
Please help me out!
Thanks!!!

MPEG Streamclip (free) will convert MPG (multiplexed MPEG-1) files. As to resolution, you can re-scale the files during the conversion process but it merely increases the conversion time without improving quality. iMovie "08 automatically re-scales project files for display/export.

  • HELP!how2 import a movie from a family reunion into imovie for a weddingvid

    Hello all,
    I am having difficulty importing a video from a dvd into iphoto/imovie. I believe the issue is that the dvd's format is not compatible. I can play the dvd through my dvd player on my mac though... When I try to drag and drop the video into iphoto i get this message:
    Unreadable files
    The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)
    /Volumes/LOGICAL VOLUME IDENTIFIER/VIDEOTS/VIDEOTS.BUP
    /Volumes/LOGICAL VOLUME IDENTIFIER/VIDEOTS/VIDEOTS.IFO
    /Volumes/LOGICAL VOLUME IDENTIFIER/VIDEOTS/VIDEOTS.VOB
    /Volumes/LOGICAL VOLUME IDENTIFIER/VIDEOTS/VTS_010.BUP
    /Volumes/LOGICAL VOLUME IDENTIFIER/VIDEOTS/VTS_010.IFO
    /Volumes/LOGICAL VOLUME IDENTIFIER/VIDEOTS/VTS_011.VOB
    Does anyone know how I can save the video in another format or how I can import the file into iphoto or imovie? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am trying to make the video part of a slideshow for my brother's wedding. (its of family members that are unable to attend)
    PLEASE!! Thank you!!

    There is a product you can download from the Web called MPEG STREAMCLIP (which is free), which will convert MPEG2 files like yours into a compatible format like DV or h.264. You will also need the Apple Quicktime MPEG2 Playback Component, which costs about $20, and can be downloaded from Apple.
    This will not defeat copy protection, but it should work fine if this is your personal DVD.

  • How to import MPG movies to iMovie

    I have iMovie HD 6.0.3 on an eMac X 10.3.9. I want to edit my video clips taken with my small digital still camera. The MOV.....MPG movie files import import into my iMovie, but the audio does not import into iMovie. Is there anything I can do to get the audio from these small movies into iMovie with the video?

    Shelborne,
    That is a link in Niel's post that will take you to the download for it. Just click the blue link in Niel's post.

  • How to import AVCHD movies from Canon HR10 (mini DVD) to iMac / iMovie?

    I have just bought an iMac (I am a PC user for a very long time and not yet familiar with the Mac software), and I am having troubles with some basic tasks: I want to transfer AVCHD movies from my Canon HR10 (mini DVDs) to my iMac / iMovie. However, the iMac / iMovie does not seem to recognize the camera when I connect it via the USB cable, i.e. nothing happens at all (the disc is finalized, and the camera is in "Play" mode). I have also tried to import the contents of the mini DVDs via a network harddisk, but iMovie does not seem to recognize the format?! I don't know what I am doing wrong?

    I think iMovie will want to see the camera as a device before it will do the import.
    Not sure you can import direct from the card, as your experiments have shown.
    It may be due to the processing of the video as it comes off the camera.
    Other people may have a solution though.

  • How to import a movie from a digital camera that cannot be connected

    The friend who recorded my wedding has a camera that doesn't have the connection cable for the laptop, but only for the TV. Is there a way to download the movie in the Powerbook. I need to import it in iMovie because i had to mix it with another video that my mother did.
    I connected the camera to the dvd recorder of the tv and I save the movie as video, but now it is a dvd and I cannot use the content of the dvd and work on it with iMovie, can I?
    Thanks
    Silvia

    If your mother shot a video with a camcorder which can be connected to iMovie ..i.e; a 'miniDV' or 'Digital-8' camcorder which has a 'DV' or 'i.Link' digital connection.. then your friend's camcorder can probably be connected to that ..probably via a small adaptor and the cable which connects it to the TV (..which may be an 'RCA'-plug 'composite video' connection).
    So your friend's video could probably be played straight onto a miniDV tape which could then be imported into iMovie. Or it may be possible to pass the "TV-style" composite video signal straight through the other (your mother's?) camcorder and directly into iMovie that way, without even needing to copy it onto another tape.
    You need to find out the make and model number of your friend's camcorder - as catspaw suggests; it may be perfectly compatible with iMovie anyway! - and also the details of the one your mother used, too.
    Or just look at the actual physical tapes:
    ..if they look like this: second picture down, on the left on this page ..that's a miniDV tape ..that WILL import straight into iMovie using a miniDV camcorder. (Here's that pic again:)
    ..and if one of those tapes is a 'Digital-8' tape, and looks like this then it might also be imported straight into iMovie with a suitable camcorder. (Here's that tape again:)
    So you may be able to get the original footage straight into iMovie, rather than having to use an extra program like 'MPEG Streamclip' or 'Handbrake' to extract the footage off a DVD.

    Instead of removing the music from the cloud or the iTunes library why not shuffle your music using a Smart Playlist which excludes the holiday music, or tracks that are not checked. For example, use this very simple Smart Playlist:

    How do i Transfer Movies from my external hard drive to my ipad2?

    Another way.
    You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import.

  • How to import a logo from flat file to SAP in SMARTFORM.

    how to import a logo from flat file to SAP in SMARTFORM. i need to know whether TIFF format is used and also the full steps.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    You can not directly use a logo from a file into a Smart form. First you will have to upload it to SAP. This has to be done only once. Once it is imported into SAP then you can use it in smart form. To import a logo to SAP, goto SE78. Open the tree under GRAPHICS. Select the file type and click on the Import (first button on the toolbar, just before delete button). Select the logo file and give it some appropriate name along with description. Select appropriate type of the image and click Continue. Your logo will be uploaded into SAP from a file. Now in your smartform, Create a Graphic Node, give the name of the logo along with other properties. In this way you can import a logo from a flat file into SAP and consequently in a smart form.
    Reward points if the answer is helpful.
