HeLp - MAc versitility with importing DVD files?!

I bought a DVD player with a harddrive and recording facilities - DVD-RAM and DVD-R - a Panasonic SCHT1500.
I recorded some old home videos from VHS onto the harddrive - and then burned some DVDs.
The DVD-R does not play on my G4 Powerbook and is not recognised as having anything on it - it just comes up as Untitled CD
I then burned a DVD-RAM disc which also does not play - but is recognised as a DVD. When you click on the DVD icon on the desktop (named MEI_UDF) there is one folder - named DVD_RTAV. Within that folder are 3 files:
VR_MANGR.BUP
VR_MANGR.IFO
VR_MOVIE.VRO
all of which have 'exec' in the top left corner on thumbnail view.
What I really wanted to do was to edit these old home movies on my Mac and then dispose of them on the Panasonic. Is this going to be possible?
Can someone give me a hand?! Cheers

Hello Matt,
in any case i would stick with DVD-R for the moment.
SP should be the right option. did you actually
"finalize" your disc? it should say that on your
recorders little display at the end of your disc
burning process.
to come back to the question: your disc that shows up
as "untitled CD" - can you locate any files on that
one? if so what are they?
keep us posted
viva la mela
OK... so I forgot to finalise Now I have a number of files .BUP .IFO .VOB
And it plays on my Mac! Any ideas on how to proceed now?!
Matt

Tempo problems with imported wav files

Hey everyone, sorry if there's a quick fix for this in the forums that I couldn't find, but I've been having some tempo problems with imported .wav files.
Long story short, my system couldn't handle playing all the tracks for a song while recording drums, so I bounced out an mp3 of the song and put it in a new Logic file so my drummer could just play along to that as I recorded him. Unfortunately, the original song is at 167 bpm, but I forgot to change the bpm in the new Logic file with the .mp3 file of the song to 167 bpm, so it was left at the default 120 bpm.
So, the drums were recorded at the correct 167 bpm, but Logic thinks that those new drum .wav files should be played at 120 bpm, so when I import my drum tracks back into the original file, they do not play correctly at all.
I could get record it all again, but I wanted to check if there was a way I could salvage what I already have, since my drummer lives about an hour away right now and can't just come over whenever he wants.
Thanks for the help! I really appreciate it.

Hi,
First, do not use MP3 in Logic, the sound quality is less than AIFF, WAV or CAF, and Logic has to decode it for playback, making it a heavier burden on the CPU than an uncoded audiofile, such as AIFF, WAV or CAF.
Secondly, audio files are independent of Logic's tempo. If you bounce down an audio file in any format (other than Apple Loop), it will play back at the same speed, +regardless of Logics' tempo setting+, either at recording or playback. Logic doesn't 'think' anything. The BPM is only important to MIDI tracks, or to the spacing between audio files. The audio files themselves *are not affected* by the tempo setting. If you import an audio file of tempo 167 into a 120 BPM project, the file will still play at 167, only Logic will indicate the wrong bar positions.
regards, Erik.

Is there any way I can view / remove pictures from Camera Roll on the iPhone, on a Mac, without actually importing the files?

Is there any way I can view / remove pictures from Camera Roll on the iPhone, on a Mac, without actually importing the files? I just want to view / delete files without importing them.
For instance I have 1200 photos on my iPhone Camera Roll. Some of these are shots, that I've taken multiple times, some good, some bad. I just want to clean up my Camera Roll, but going through the pictures on the iPhone's small screen is tedious. I'd much rather look at the camera roll's photo's on my Mac, and then decide which files I'd like to keep, and which to delete.
I don't want to import the files, as when I import the files, and delete them from Camera Roll, now the Photo's are not on my phone, and the only way to get them back on my Phone is to Import them back in using iTunes, and then they go into the Picture Library and not the Camera Roll.
In the same way as I can view Pics from my digital camera's SD card on a Mac without having to actually copy them to my computer, is there any app out there that will let me view my iPhone pics without importing them.

The short answer is yes.
Connect your iPhone to your computer.
Open Image Capture application.
Click on the 4 little squares at bottom to view them as photos, not a list.
Select the photos them click the No Entry icon at bottom to delete.

Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

haben
From looking at the specifications of your camera (SJCam 4000), we know already what video compression your camera is using. It is H.264.
A H.264.mov file should be supported by Premiere Elements 11. On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running?
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer? And, are you running QuickTime and Premiere Elements 11 from a
User Account with administrative privileges? Please go to Premiere Elements 11 Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime to confirm that you find
presets there for the QuickTime choice there.
What are the properties of these H.264.mov files - is it 1080p30 (1920 x 1080p30) or something else? Do you know if this camera is recording with a variable or
a constant frame rate?
Please review and consider and then we will decide what next.
Thank you.

How to buy and install mac os x 10.6 in a late 2007 mac book with no dvd drive?

i want to buy snow leopard for mac book with no dvd drive, but the only choice in app store is dvd copy, no digital copy!

You'd have to have someone with a DVD drive make a Disk Image of the DVD, have them Restore that .dmg to a Flash drive that's big enough, the boot the MB using alt key to choose to boot from the USB Flash drive.

Trouble with importing .NEF files, help please?!?!

I am trying to import my .NEF files into Lightroom and keep getting a message that pops up stating "The files are not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom.". I have never had a problem importing .NEF files before. Does anyone know why I keep getting this message? Help, please and thank you!

Either the NEF files are from a camera newer than your LR version – each camera must be supported explicitly, OR your NEFs have been corrupted by using new camera NEFs with older Nikon software.
So either upgrade your LR to a new version or stop using obsolete Nikon software with your NEFs. You can use the following utility to fix the corrupted caused by obsolete Nikon software:

Problems importing DVD file in After Effects

I am having trouble importing a DVD file into After Effects. When I import it, it gets in but then when I click on it an error comes up. An error comes up everytime I click on it, and it's annoying. Is there any way to fix this? I am trying to work with a full movie in After Effects so I can make a short music video. I don't know what else to do.If it helps the movie file is about 2 hrs long.
Please, if you understand what I'm asking, or if you've been through the same thing- your reply will be very valuable!
Thank you
Seun

Found the solution!
I found the answer on a post on http://Creativecow.net
The link
The post:
"...3. What ended up fixing it was by *not* dragging the movie file to the new composition icon. Turns out my movie had a strange frame rate of 14.985 instead of 15. Not sure why After Effects interpreted my movie that way, I'm doing some unusual exports because I'm working with screen capture software, so it's definitely not a traditional workflow.
4. So my solution was to create a composition from one of the AE presets first and then tweak the settings slightly to match my movie properties. Adding my movie clip to this composition gives me no errors and we're good to go.
Strange solution, but it has worked. Now AE CS3 and I can be friends . . ."
Anyways, thank you guys for your replies!

I have used lightroom for years on my PC and just installed it on my new iMac. I cannot import NEF files from iPhoto or from my Lacie hard drive into Lightroom. I have tried Lightroom Help but still cannot import NEF files. What am I doing wrong?

I have always used Lightroom with a PC and now have installed Lightroom 3.6 on my new iMac. I cannot import raw (NEF) files from iPhoto (or from my Lacie drive for that matter into Lightroom. I have tried Lightroom Help to no avail. How do I import NEF files from the iMac into Lightroom?

If they are the same nef files that you were importing into your PC, see if the reason is an error message like the thread above this one. Permissions issue.

Import DVD Files

I can't import files from a DVD or from my HD camera. I'm trying to make the highest quality videos possible and being that I can't import from my camera directly I was hoping I could burn the videos to DVD and then import the files from the DVD for editing. Please help!
Thanks!

I don't know about the original post but I have FCE, MacBook Pro running Leopard and can import the Video_TS files but they load without audio. I converted the video to QT and that would not import at all.

Cannot import DVD file

I am using the trial version of Premiere Elements 8.0. I have a DVD with a file listed as VTS_01_0.IFO on Windows. I received the message "the files listed will not be imported as it is not a supported file type." I am a 100% novice at this, so any thoughts as to what I need to do to import my file wuld be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Importing DVD files to DVD SP

A couple weeks ago, I posted a question about importing a DVd file from a DVD recorder into DVD SP so that I could change the menus and generally clean it up. The suggestion was to use MPEG Streamclip to export. I did that, but when I did it, I either got a "muxer bitrate too high" message, or video read error. I tried "export to m2v and aiff. any further suggestions?

Hi
Try encoding the audio AIFF files to Dolby 2 (AC3) using Compressor. That will save a lot of bitrate.
Hope that helps !
