How can a .mov be an "unsupported file type"?

I've saved a PowerPoint presentation as a .mov and it plays fine on its own (as a quicktime movie.) It also shows up as availabe file in my "movies" pane. However, when I try to drag it into a drop zone, I get the following error message: "Unsupported File Type: Unknown Format" but it's a .mov file!??
What's going on?

I'm going to answer my own question so others may benefit
After some serious thinking I did the following and it worked: I imported the .mov file (in this case a PowerPoint presentation) into iMovie where it became a simple clip, then saved that as a new .mov, and now it's suddenly recognizable to iDVD! Simple, huh? I bet it works with all kinds of "unsupported file types" as long as you can get them into iMovie...

  • How can I  move the 'Itune music file' to another disk

    Hello
    I am using ITUNE in a Winfow XP environnement. I am running out of space on my C disk. How can I move my ITUNE music file
    C:\Documents and Settings\Yves\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
    to another bigger partition on the same computer?
    Sorry if that question as been answered before I may have missed it.
    Thanks Yves.

    Sorry, there is no way to move that file out of the Profile folder, or specify a different location for it, built into Firefox.
    One extension that might be able to help you do that is Pike's Bookmark Backup extension. BB allows you to specify which files are backed-up and where those backup files are saved. It also has a backup interval setting, IIRC. <br />

  • How can I move my elements 9 files in windows format to elements 11 in Mac format?

    How can I move my windows 9 files in windows format to elements 11 in Mac format?

    I guess this is what I want to do.  I have jillions of photos that were transferred in a Windows version of photoshop (many different versions) plus some that were transferred from my iPhone and also in Nikon Transfer (before I started using Photoshop).  Then I got the brilliant idea that I wanted to start using Mac for all of my photo projects and I'm dead in the water right now because I can't figure out how to move all of these Windows based filed to the new Mac - especial since the I have a current mac version of Photoshop and the Windows version that I have is older.  I totally do not understand what a tly file is.

  • How can I move all my music files in an specific folder to another

    Hi
    I am a iTunes for Windows user and I adore that program. From the beginning I have made my Library putting manually all my new music files in "D:\Mis Documentos\Mi Musica" folder, and then from here I add it to my iTunes Library.
    The problem I have now is that I want to change my folder destination for example to "D:\Mis Documentos\Mi Música\iTunes\iTunes Music\" but the only way that I now is moving all files to that new folder and then creating a new ibrary but in that way I will lose all my counters and other thongs in the old ITL file. Also I could consolidate the library changing the folder but I don't like the way of iTunes to put the files with folders with artist and album I prefer to have all the music files in the same folder with any folder inside.
    If anyone can tell me how can I do this or if there is any script o plugin for Windows to administrate this kind of moving, please answer me.
    Thanks

    Don't move files manually! That indeed causes iTunes to lose track. Use the command Advanced > Consolidate Library. Before you begin, read up on Consoidate in the Help file so you understand what it does.
    When you are done consolidating, you can delete the extras if you wish.

  • How can I move the permissions.sqlite file to a new folder or a subfolder?

    I am using a syncing program to keep cookie exceptions on multiple computers all equivalent. Unfortunately this is causing a problem because places.sqlite changes frequently and cannot be synced while FF is running. So I want to move the permissions.sqlite file to a new folder or a subfolder so I can only sync that one folder. Is there a way to specify the location of this file?

  • How can I move ALL Logic Pro Files (except for the app itself) to an external?

    Hi,
    So I'm looking to move all my Logic content to my external hard drive and still be able to use the program effectively and efficiently.
    I have about 5 years worth of content (adding up to over 100 GB of data in audio/instrument/project files) and I think it's time to find an alternative to suffocating my internal hard drive.
    I'm looking for the easiest way to move all my content to my external and delete it from my internal (without altering the location of the app itself).
    I understand "managing project assets", but this method requires me to open EVERY project one by one and change the location settings. I'm basically trying to find a way to move every project and its appropriate audio files to my external so that I can open them from there without having to go through each project one by one... I tried just copying and pasting the entire "Logic" folder onto the external and then deleted it from my internal, but when I attempted to open a project from my external's copied file, none of the content was found because the original locations of the internal were still embedded in the project. Also, none of the software instruments could be found because they, too, were originally located on the internal drive. Luckily I backed up my hard drive beforehand, so a simple restore brought me back to sanity.
    I understand managing the project assets, but is going one project by one project at a time really the only way? There's gotta be another way :/
    Thanks for any and all help.
    P.S. I'm still on the Logic Pro 9 train, but that shouldn't matter too much. (hopefully)

  • How can I move a large video file from my iphone ... iMac / PC

    I have a large iPhone Video File that I cannot transfer from my iphone to my flashdrive as it is too big.
    I realize that I can reformat an empty flash drive using Disk Utilities and I should then be able to transfer the file.
    My question:  What do I select when reformating the flash drive so that it will be accepted by both a PC and an iMac?

    ExFAT would be the best file system format, as it will handle files greater than 4GB.
    If exFAT is not available, go for FAT32.
    Just FAT is too limiting, so avoid that

    How can I move files in FileAppPro to Adobe to open?

    You will need to use the "Open In" functionality that is provided by FileAppPro. It appears that to do this, you do a "Long Press" on the file in their file list.
