How can i import mpeg files into iMovie?

how can i import mpeg files into iMovie?

Where are your MPEG stored?
I have hundreds of old MPEGs stored in my nexternal drive, but unfortunatly i was not able import them into iMovie. I did the following trick: I created a new set of a folder and subfolder and called it "Virtual_CAM/DCIM" and saved it on my desktop. Then went to Disk Utilities>File Menue>New>Disk Image from Folder. Then selected the folder on my desktop and clicked enter. I moved the .dmg file to my external (or just keep it on your desktop). I clicked on the .dmg file. It shoud be visible on the Finder. Open your Imovie and import as you do from your camera.

  • How can I import vob files into imovie 09?

    how can I import vob files into imovie 09? i have some home movies on dvd that i want to edit.

    You might want to look at this one too.  Very easy to use and it doesn't require the Apple MPEG-2 playback component.

  • How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive?  The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import.  Can it be done?

    How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive?  The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import.  Can it be done? I am trying to create a disc of player highlights for a collegiate coach, and I am using movie files downloaded to my hard drive from a DVD created on a PC. 

    No unfortunately it won't open in quicktime either.  It does the same thing that Imovie does, separates it into two file folders audio and video, and if i select video it opens to reveal 8 files that cannot be selected.  VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS.IFO, VIDEO_TS.VOB,VTS_01_0.BUP, VTS_01_0.IFO, VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VB, VTS_01_3.VOB.  All of which cannot be opened or selected.
    Opening it in Idvd and folllowing your suggestion works and I get a format code of NTSC.  Is that the same?  Thank you for your time and response.

    So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
    vs
    using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
    Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
    All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.

  • Hi, I can not import video files into iMovie.

    I can open iMovie however can not import video files. the iMovie application just hangs and I have to force quit to start again and once again get the same problem.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled iMovie.

  • I have 8mm family footage now on a DVD how can I import this material into imovie

    Can anyone help I have old 8mm footage of the family which is now on a DVD how can I import this onto imovie?

    You need to convert the DVD .VOB files. This can be done with Apps like Handbrake or I prefer MPEG Steamclip.
    Basically what you do is insert the DVD into the drive. If DVD Player opens, quit the player. Then double click the DVD on the desktop. There you will find a folder called Video_TS. The .VOB files are there. You do not need the Audio_TS files or Folder.  So what ever App you use, point them to that Folder and convert them to highest quality conversion.
    One thing to point out though about MPEG Streamclip, you need to have Quicktime 7 installed and additionally you need a file called QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component. Make sure you read about it at the Squared 5 website under "Requirements". It may sound like alot of work, but once you set it up MPEG Streamclips works nice.
    Hope that gets you started.
    Additionally, if you have another machine around with Leopard or earlier, you may already have the MPEG-2 Playback Component. It would be located in /Library/Quicktime folder.

  • I can't import mpeg files into final cut pro10

    Hi, I have been given a whole load of old home video footage that I want to import into final cut pro to put into a music video. The files play on quicktime but when I go to import it it won't import.
    I've already had this problem with MXF files but these are quicktime so how can I import it. Final Cut Pro 10 seems to not want to import anything that I actually want to use.
    Anyone know what the problem is?
    Thanks
    Tom

    What version of FCP X are you using?
    Also: open one of these files in Quicktime Player, press Cmd-I to open the Movie Inspector, and post a screenshot of that.
    When you say "it won't import", what exactly does happen? Do these files appear dimmed in the Import Window? Or something else happens?

  • 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.

  • How can I import eex files into Applications EUL from the unix command line

    How can I import *.eex and *.dis files into an Applications EUL from the unix command line?
    Thanks

    Hi
    The simple answer is you either have to use the client tool DIS51ADM to import files using the command line (Discoverer Admin is a windows only client tool), or the Java command line which needs a browser.
    In theory if you have a browser running on your Unix box you may be able to use the Java command line to make this work.
    Best wishes
