How can I join/merge my AVCHD files that I tape with my camcorder without re-encoding the files?

I have a lot of tapes that cut in the middle while recording more than 12 minutes. I would like to join/merge my files. What should I do? Which softwares should I use?

Because I don't have any of Sony's softwares, or softwares that they use, I can't help much on that side of things, but programs that I use are
Freemake Video Converter to convert it into a format that VirtualDub can read, then use VirtualDub to load up the first file, then use the Amend AVI to add the next file that you want to merge, and keep going until you're ready.
Then I check the video and audio compression, make sure they're on full compression, choose the codec and video bitrate, and audio bitrate that I want, and save.
I'm sure Sony's programs, or the ones they use, make it much easier. Try PlayMemories and Sony Vegas, they'll work with the AVCHD files without too much extra converting (and if it does convert, it's all in-program so should be much easier)

    How can I join/merge audio in 1 step? Or... 2 in Logic X.
    I want join all the audio in this track(image)

    I see only three steps, and one of 'm (3.) should not be necessary unless you've created a take folder or folder track somehow?
    In step 2. you are not joining tracks, but regions (on the track).
    I do understand why Apple does not "fix" this: nothing's broken, that's why. If the Logic dev team would listen to all these "it's too complicated" complaints, Logic Pro would eventually end up being iTunes with a record button.
    Two tips: learn the terminology (knowing the difference between tracks and regions, for starters) and use the search function in the manual. If that still doesn't get you anywhere, ask us.
    Have a nice day!

  • How do I find the file that spotlight index is stuck on? (already know the file name)

    I was re-indexing my whole drive and it was going pretty smoothly until it was stuck for about 24 hours. When i took a look in console, this is what appeared:
    mdworker32(7488) deny iokit-open IOHIDParamUserClient (Importing type 'com.makemusic.mus' using 'file://localhost/Library/Spotlight/Finale.mdimporter/' - diagnostic:0 - find suspect file using: sudo mdutil -t 12366294)
    When I looked back, that "com.makemusic.mus" error message had pretty much been going on all day. I've tried to look for that file in the library preferences folders but I couldn't find them. I am using finale 2012. Can anyone tell me where I can find that file?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the update.
    The user is oracle and group is dba. I know from the name of the file that it is coming from oracle apps (somewhere in a custom program).

  • How can I get books on my iPad that I already purchased in person without paying for them again?

    I have a lot of paperback books that I'd like to upload onto my iPad, but I don't want to buy them AGAIN in the iBooks store. Is there any way I can get them onto my iPad for free?

    Thanks, I was hoping for something a little more selective that I could do from my computer, but I think this is helpful.
    Maybe the best approach to get this under control is:
    - Import all photos into iphoto
    - Delete all photos per your suggestion
    - Selectivly sync the photos you want put back on your phone
    Thanks again, I didn't know this and is a helpful trick!
    P.S. I still wouldn't mind finding a way to selectively delete files that are on my iphone from my computer.  (In Windows, you can go to My Computer -> Iphone, open the folder and delete what you want).

  • How can I find a list of printers that will work with my iBook version=2.2?

    I need to print out a book I wrote on my old iBook...got rid of my Epson Stylus 62 and can't find a list on the iBook that says what other printers it will take. I have access to an old Dell 922 and am wondering if that can be hooked up and used to get the book printed without having to go to get info recovered and pay a lot of money. Thanks for any help!

    Oldmac
    You should be able to connect  the Dell 922 (c.2004) to your iBook Jaguar(c.2002) - you may see the problem... finding a driver for the Dell922 may be a BIG obstacle as Jaguar pre-dates the Dell922 - thus, no built-in driver in the OSX  - it may be that some Dell driver will work but I would not bank on it.
    Alternatives:
    What is stopping you from connecting iBook to the Internet?
    What Mac or PC do you have now? Connect via network cabling? > transfer file (what Application?) > print ?
    put your file on a thumb drive and transfer it to another's computer - friend, FedExOffice Store, etc.
    Think outside the box...

  • How can I/Is it possible to silently print a PDF with specific print settings and obtaining the resulting job id (in windows at least)?

    Greetings,
    I have a specific application for Windows I'm developing where I need to silently print a PDF to a real printer.  The trick is I need to set specific printing preferences ... such as color/monochrome, # of copies, page size / source tray, etc.   The printer is always set to spool documents, and it is key that I know the job id (even if its already done printing) of the resulting print job.
    With windows APIs mixed in, I would imagine something like ...
    OpenPrinter(printername)
    StartDocPrinter(...)
    -----> some SDK call to print the document based on the handles I pass it...or perhaps one page at a time after I call StartPagePrinter()
    EndDocPrinter(...)
    ClosePrinter()
    I've been searching for something for days that would give me this sort of control, but I've been finding the documentation very difficult to find on silently printing a PDF through any means other than a command line which doesn't appear to give me the information or control I need.
    Is this possible with the Adobe SDK? 
    I've seen other posts accomplish this by changing the printing defaults for the printer, and then sending the job silently with a commandline.  This has two problems for me: 1) I still don't know the Job ID of the print job, and 2) I can't rely on the idea that other unrelated print jobs will not be sent while I'm processing the PDF ... making it difficult to use defaults as a means of controlling the settings without causing a lot of side effects.
    Even just a point in the right direction would be a huge help for how I could accomplish this.  
    Thanks a lot,
    Wayne

  • How can I import or download AVCHD files on a memory card to FCE?

    How can I import or download AVCHD files on a memory card to FCE?

    What camera is this from? Make sure it is actual AVCHD and not some variant such as AVCHD Lite which is not supported.
    Also, try this: In the Log and Transfer Pane, click on the Gear icon do set the preferences and set the Import 
    Preferences > AVCHD Plugin > AC3 Audio to Plain Stereo.
    You can also download a trial version of Clipwrap and see if by converting the files to AIC with that software, then importing the files to FCE you have better luck.

  • How can I include merged projects in the printed documentation?

    I have a master project with several merged projects. This works splendid with online documentation, but when I am asked to provide a printed version, it seems I have to create separate documents for each merged project.
    Is there any setting or fix that enables print also of merged projects and topics when I create printed documentation?
    Pretty please with sugar on top :-)

    Hm - there is a contract with the customer, saying that he wants documentation both as word and pdf, and as we now aim at only writing online documentation, these tasks create extra work, as we are delivering updates each month
    But yes - two beasts, where only chm is actually needed we think.

    Hi there
    I'm a bit curious as to the reasoning behind your "persuation process for using chm-files only".
    CHM files and printed documentation are two entirely different beasts.

  • How can I join up my home videos in order to see them together rather than in short bursts? IN SIMPLE TERMS PLEASE.

    How can I join up my home videos in order to see them together, rather than in short bursts? In simple terms please?!

    You can research into the iMovie app and see what it'll do. I'm afraid I've never used it. But I know it does have a section on this forum so maybe someone there can answer your question.
    The only other way I can think of would be to get your files off your iPad and onto a computer and then get a video editing program (there are several that are inexpensive) and use that to put them together.

  • I have an old mpg video file, taken with a very early model "smart phone", that opens and plays fine in my newly "rebuilt" iPhoto library. I cannot open, edit it or share it with any other software. How can I fix it, to be able to do anything with it?

    I have an old mpg video file, taken with a very early model "smart phone", that opens and plays fine in my newly "rebuilt" iPhoto library. I cannot open, edit it or share it with any other software. How can I fix it, to be able to do anything with it?
    Detail:
    I've recently purchaced a 4TB Thunderbolt drive to store my "vast" music and photo libraries. iPhoto had an issue reading the moved library, so I bought and used iPhoto Library Manager to "rebuild" it. Apart from much of the original data such as date taken & camera used etc, it appears to be working well. The aforementioned mpg video was taken some 9 years ago, using an early model "iMate" smart phone, and opens and plays fine on iPhoto, but I cannot open it with anything else, (I've tried iMovie, VLC players, Wondershare and Handbrake) nor can I share it. I just want to edit it, and share it with family.
    Any help would be appreciated...

    No - not iMovie, VLC, Wondershare or Handbrake... Quick time starts with a "CONVERTING", then I get
    I've looked at the "tell me more" links, tried downloading some of the movie players there. I'm begining to think the file is corrupt.
    Thanks for getting back to me again though - appreciate it...

    You have to get them from the file you have into iCloud, google, yahoo, outlook.com, AOL, an Exchange server, or some other service the phone can sync with, or into MS Outlook on your PC. Then you can sync them to the phone.
