How can I import movie form a JVC camera with a .TOD extention

Hello everyone,
I took some movie from my holiday with a JVC camera. And as good mac user, I wish to use iMovie to try to make some movies.
The problem is that iMovie does not accept movie with TOD extention.
Then I have no idea how could I transform my movies with a mp4 extention or with an extention compatible with iMovie 9.
Do you have any idea which will help me?
Thank

Hi,
I work for JVC and would like to try and help.
Older JVC HD camcorders recorded HD video in MPEG2 with a .tod file extension.
There were several recording speeds on your camcorder. If you recorded in the 1440CBR mode, then you may be able to capture the video to your camcorder via i.Link (Firewire). Don't try it with USB. It won't work. Only via Firewire. Look in your instruction book for a topic called "Playlist Dubbing".
If you did not record in the 1440CBR mode, and you wish to connect via USB, there is one other possible option: Apple offered compatibility with this, but only for one generation of iMovie. That was iMovie 06 HD. If you install iMovie 06 HD, you will be able to import your .tod files and edit them.
You can purchase iMovie 06 HD as a part of the iLife 06 software suite which can still be found on E-Bay. You will also need to install the Quick Time Plug-In which was on the CD-ROM that came with your camcorder. Depending on your OS, there is also a Quick Time update from JVC that you may need to install.
Alternately, you need to look at file conversion software.
More recent JVC HD Everio camcorders record in the AVCHD format which works flawlessly with iMovie '08 or iMovie '09 as long as your Mac has an Intel processor.
I hope this helps.

  • How can I import .mov file into dvd studio pro?

    Hi,
    I have a .mov file and want to but a dvd with menu and chapters. But when I try to import the .mov file into dvd studio pro it says Incompatible format. How can I import my .mov file in to dvd studio pro?

    Two ways…
    Transcode into a codec like Pro Res, import into DVDSP and let it do the encoding.
    Or better yet:
    Import into Compressor, choose a DVD preset and let Compressor encode. It will make two files, separate video and audio files. Import those into DVDSP.
    Good luck.

  • Can you import movie videos from SD camera card

    Can you import movie videos (MP4) into an Ipad from an SD camera card on a Lightning cable ... or can you only do this from a laptop via Itunes? In other words, is Itunes the only way to get non-Itune videos to the Ipad? Hope I havent made this sound confusing.

    To import the videos must follow a very strict naming convention.
    All file names must have 8 characters for a name and be located in a folder named DCIM
    for example
    DCIM
    MOV_5789.mp4
    You can't watch the videos off the cart, they must be imported into the iPad. They'll go into the camera roll, when you tap on them it'll open the video app and you can watch from there.

  • How can i import into imovie using the camera's built in memory?

    How can I import into imovie from my cannon video camera built in memory.  All that comes up when I connect the USB cable is what is stored on the memory card and it doesn't give me the option to use what is stored on the built in memory

    That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
    With the new Photo app later this year the integration between IOS and the Mac will be much greater

  • How can I use the built-in Isight camera with an external camera (usb/firewire) at the same time?

    How can I use the built-in Isight camera and an external video camera at the same time?
    I'm wanting to stream over Oovoo/Skype/etc. using 2 cameras.
    Thanks

    Simple question with a not so simple answer.
    (a) If you mean that you want to run multiple apps simultaneously using a different camera with each app, you may encounter computing power limitations.  Digital video is processor intensive.  The only way to know if your Mac can do this it to try it.  If the video does not work together but each app works when it it the only app running, you are likely overloading your Mac's ability to process and/or move all the required data in your data bus.  You can get a better indication of whether this is the case by watching your Activity Monitor utility while running the apps you want to use.
    (b) If you mean that you want to have more than one compatible camera connected to your Mac simultaneously for ease of changing between video sources, some, but not necessarily all, apps you are using to operate your camera(s) allow you to select between your cameras.
    How you select among connected cameras depends on which application you are using. Here is how camera selection works in a few examples:
    (1) For iChat, you can choose which iSight you use in the "Camera:" choices bar in iChat > Preferences... > Audio/Video that appears when more than one compatible camera is connected. Although your camera choices will be different, the choices bar will look something similar to the Preferences settings shown here:
    If you cannot see the "Camera" choices bar, your Mac is recognizing only one (or none) of your cameras. In that case, consider the suggestions fromhttp://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 for iSight problems or refer to your other camera's documentation for help.
    This particular choices bar solution applies ONLY to iChat. Most other applications also have settings that allow you to choose which camera to use. However, they do not all work the same way.
    (2) For instance, iMovie HD's camera choice is NOT set via Preferences. When you have more than one compatible camera connected, iMovie6 HD uses a drop-down menu choice something like this (depending on which version of iMovie you use):
    Note: Because I had no built-in iSight connected when I made this example, and because my external iSight was not connected, the drop-down menu showed only "Time Lapse." Because your Mac has a built-in iSight, your built-in iSight would show in the drop-down menu even when no other camera is connected. Connecting an additional Mac compatible webcam should allow you to choose either camera.
    Other iMovie versions work slightly differently.
    iMovie 9 (from iLife '11) uses a different camera choice button shown in this article:
      http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/9.0/en/mov39f84285.html
    iMovie 8 (from iLife '09) is slightly different as explained in this article:
      http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/8.0/en/10172.html
    In general, you can use your Mac's help for the application in use to find out how to select among more than one connected camera.
    (3) Photo Booth in Snow Leopard 10.6.x and later uses the Photo Booth > Camera menu command to select which camera to use.
    Note for readers with older Mac OS X: The previous version of Photo Booth that came with Tiger (10.4.x) is such a simple, basic app that it offers no menu selectable choice. Unless your built-in iSight is already occupied as the camera being used by some open application before you launch Photo Booth, Photo Booth will use ONLY your built-in iSight.
    However, you can use the trick from ¶ 4 of http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302781 to let Photo Booth use an external camera.
    (If you have an external Firewire camera connected, it may be used in preference to any USB webcam. If that is a problem for you, merely disconnect the problem Firewire device.)
    (4) For FaceTime, launch the app and click the Video menu item.
    If your Mac recognizes more than one connected compatible camera, a "Camera" section listing the cameras from which you can choose will appear there. Clicking on the desired camera name will let you select the one you want as shown in this image from my Mac Pro and LED Cinema Display:
    If your Mac recognizes only one compatible camera, the "Camera" section will not appear in the Video menu, but FaceTime will automatically use the connected camera that is recognized by OS X.
    (5) I do not use Skype oir Oovoo.  For those or other apps, see Help for each app for info on how to select your desired camera.

  • How can I import movies NOT into my home folder?

    Recently got a brand new iMac with SSD and classic hard drive.
    The OS and the User folder resides on the SSD but the SSD is limited in size.
    Of course, when importing movies from camera archives or directly from a camera I don't want them to go to the Movies folder in my home folder but instead to another folder on the 2nd 2 TB hard drive.
    However, I couldn't find any setting in iMovie's preferences for this.
    There must be a way! Storing footage on that SSD doesn't make sense at all.
    So, how do I do that with the latest iMovie? (Version 9.1.x)

    On the import screen, you can select your other drive. This selection will become the default until you change it on the import screen.
    For Events that are already on the SSD, you can move them from within iMovie.
    Click View/Events By Disk.
    Now you should see both drives in the Event Library.
    Hold down the command key while dragging the small icon for your event to the icon for the disk other disk drive in the Event Library List. (if you do not hold down the command key, it will Copy, not Move)

  • How can I import movies from iTunes to iMovie?

    I download video lectures from iTunes University to iTunes 10 and need to export them to iMovie 11 for editing. How can I do this?

    I can't figure out how to import from iTunes into iMovie. I can select and view all movies in iTunes, but don't see any options for moving them to iMovie. Any suggestions?
    Open iMovie '08, select the "Import Movies..." File menu option, navigate to where the movie is located on your hard drive and import it in the "Copy" mode. Alternatively, navigate to the file in the finder and "drop import" the file directly to a convenient named "event" in the open iMovie '08 application or "event" folder if the iMovie '08 application is not open.

  • Can't import MOV files from JVC GY-HM650U Camera

    Hi,
    For some reason when I try to import an MOV into premiere that was generated by this JVC camera, I get an error:
    " The file has to audio or video streams".
    It plays fine in VLC player.  I tried converting it to MP4 using ffmpeg.exe.  Still get the same error.  I don't want to have to re-encode it using another tool just to bring it into premiere for editing, this makes no sense.  Usually premiere is pretty good about bringing in just about any kind of file.
    We did recently upgrade to Premiere CC 2014, I never had this problem with the older version.
    Strange.  Any suggestions?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions,
    What model of Kodak is it?
    There is a discussion thread on this topic: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11942367&#11942367
    Try using a media card reader (sometimes built into printers) to see if that allows the import. Others seem to report having luck by importing the movies off the card using a different computer, deleting them, and then importing the pictures.
    Hope that helps.

  • How can I import .pdf forms into RoboHelp 11.0.3.268 without garbling fields?

    When I try to import .pdf forms into RoboHelp 11, the fields get garbled.
    Is there any way around this?

    Hello again
    Okay, you first open or give focus to the Project Manager pod. Once there, you will either be in Global View (where you see all files combined - CSS, Images, HTM and others) or you will be in Classic view. Classic View has separate folders, One for HTML files, another for CSS, another for Baggage, etc. See image below for reference.
    If you are in Global view, just right-click somewhere inside the Project Files and choose New > Baggage File. If you are in Classic view, right-click the Baggage Files folder and choose New > Baggage File.
    Then you navigate to where the Baggage File exists and you add it to the project. When you generate, the Baggage File should be automatically copied to the output folder with the other files.
    To link to the Baggage File, you generally select the text or image the user will click to display the file, then click and drag the file from the Project Manager pod to the selected image or text.
    Or, if you wish to leave the PDF where it is on the web, just determine the URL that would open it. Create a hyperlink from an image or text that will open the file.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Can't import .mov files from my camera into iPhoto

    I am not able to import .mov files from my kodak camera into iPhoto. It says the file is not readable. Also, if there are any photos after the video file, those are said to be unreadable too, even if I select just the photots for import. I tried to import the .mov file with image capture as well, and that gave me an import error also. I can view the file fine on my camera and iPhoto and image capture both will give me the properties of the video file but will not import. I have imported .miv files before with no trouble. I have tried several different files with the same results. Even tried different memory cards. Not sure how to get this file on my computer or why there is a problem all of the sudden.
    Thanks.

  • How can I use adobe forms to force payment (with PayPal) to ensure payment before registration? Or is this an issue with PayPal?

    I am using adobe forms to create a registration form for a workshop that I am holding. It is a $10 charge to attend however I am having difficulties ensuring the payment goes through before the participant is put on the registration list. Is this something I can fix through adobe forms or should I be going through PayPal to fix the issue?

  • How can I know if the software that came with my mac is valid or pirated?

    I recently purchased a MBP that came with numerous amount of really expensive software like Adobe Masterclass Collection,Logic 9, Key Note, Pages, Numbers, Final Cut Pro and many more. How can I find out if this software collection that came on the mac are valid or pirated. Is there a app that can scan my mac for serials or to verify the apps? If infact they are legit purchased, how can I put them on my other mac? or is it even possible. For example, Final Cut Pro and logic are from Apple. Could they Verify them?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Unfortunately, there's not a way to check if they are original or pirated. Also, Keynote, Pages, Numbers, Final Cut Pro (if it's Final Cut Pro X) and Logic Pro, if they were purchased in the App Store, don't need a product key. My advice is to delete all those applications, and purchase again the applications you need with your Apple ID in the App Store, if they are available there.
    That's because you will have problems to update them (as they are registered to the old owner's Apple ID) and you can't use them legally if you haven't purchased the applications
