How can I open 'MPEG' file on the Mac?

Hi! I'm a new user of imac. Before now, I used to use PC.
Most of mac tools are strange for me on the Mac. T^T
At this time, when I tried to click 'MPEG' files on the mac, the movie could not be opened.
The window popped up and said,
'The file is not a movie file.'
but, When I opened 'MPEG' files on the PC, there were nothing problem to see.
How can I open and import 'MPEG' files on the Mac? Plz help me

You may need to purchase Apple's MPEG-2 Playback Component (it's included with FCP and DVD-SP). Also try opening the file with VLC Player or MPEG Streamclip.

  • How can I open PDF files?  The usual procedures don't work for me.  Thanks.

    How can I open PDF files?  Until a couple of months ago, I had no problem.  Now I can open none of them.  I have Adobe Reader X.  Yesterday I uninstalled Adobe X, restarted the computer, and then reinstalled Adobe X.  No success.  Thanks.

    What happens if you open Reader first then use File>Open like Bernd suggested?
    Are you sure you are opening them in Reader and not a text editor or MS Word? I ask because Reader will not prompt you for a language.

  • How can I open DTS files on my Mac?

    (I really don't know where to post this question, but since it's about audio, here it comes)
    So, I have some .dts files which I can burn and listen on my DVD player, but how can I open them on the Mac to make them readable by iTunes?
    I tried several audio and video tools, but no good result.
    Thanks

    I return: I tried again with VLC, but this time through the File > Open, and not dropping the file over the icon in the Dock, and it works! (VLC rocks!)
    Now I can capture the sound with AudioHijack, if no other option is suggested

  • How can i open pdf files from the web without saving them

    Windows 7
    Firefox 5
    Adobe Reader 9
    when i want to see a web based pdf file i have to save it before opening it instead of it just opening in a pdf window.

    You can't.
    Those PDFs are only accessible on the Mac.
    They can not even be accessed by iOS.

  • How can I open .exe files on my mac?

    I have been sent a coule of tese files and eah time my mac is trying to open them with quick time. what should i be opening them with so they are usable?

    An .exe file is a Windows application/program. You can't "open" them. You would have to have Windows installed in order to use them.
    The only exception being if the file is a .zip archive that was created as, or converted to a self extracting file. Those also appear with the .exe extension. In which case, the free Stuffit Expander can open them.

  • How can I open PPT files on my mac?

    I have a MacBook Pro and I was sent some PPT files and want to access them. What do I need to use/download to open them. Thanks in advance. Tom

    A 'PPT' file is a Microsoft Powerpoint document. You can open them with PowerPoint for Mac, OpenOffice (and derivatives NeoOffice, LibreOffice, and Oracle Office), Apple Keynote, and Google Docs.
    Open Office can be downloaded from OpenOffice.org and it is free.
    Google Docs is web-based office suite. While it's a little awkward, it will permit you to import PPT presentations.
    Most of them do a good job, but each will fall down with certain types of content. If the presentation contains ActiveX controls, they won't work on the Mac. Macros won't tend to work in anything but PowerPoint itself. Your mileage will vary on audio/video and embedded web content. There are also differences in transitions and animation between products that give peculiar results when going from one to the other.
    If the presentation is a fairly typical one, however, all of the above will do a fair job of displaying it.

  • How can i open a attachment with the fileextension .note sent from an Ipad

    A friend of mine sent me an email from his Ipad with an attachment which has the extension .note. How can I open this file on my Mac?

    It appears that this extension is related to the ipad app 'notability'. It would have to be exported as a pdf or rtf file to be opened.
    You can do some googling, but might be better if the sender converts the file to something more common and sends again.

  • The files are no longer available. How can I open these files again?

    The files are no longer available, how can i open this files again?

    Hi markkanselaar,
    Did you have files uploaded to Acrobat.com that are no longer there? If so, please log out and clear the browser cache, and then log back in to https://cloud.acrobat.com/files. If the files still aren't there (and you didn't delete them), then try logging in using another supported browser (System requirements | Acrobat.com).
    Best,

  • 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 open raw files from my Nikon D7100 in CS4 or CS5?

    How can I open raw files from my Nikon D7100 in CS4 or CS5?

    Andy,
    In the simple and short form, what happens with the ACR (Adobe Camera RAW) module is that it gets updated with regularity, to accommodate the camera mfgr's. changes for their newer models. That ACR works within the host program, such as Ps, PsElements, Lightroom, etc.. At a point, Adobe ceases to support older host program versions. When that happens, the user has a few options:
    Upgrade the host program version
    Use another host program, such as PsElements or Lightroom
    Use the free DNG converter, per Curt's suggestion. That is not host program dependent
    Glad that the DNG Converter works for you.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • How can I convert MPEG files (stored on a PC) to use in iMovie on my Macbook Pro?

    How can I convert MPEG files (stored on a PC) to use in iMovie on my Macbook Pro?

    Get a free app called MPEG Streamclip.
    Available here.
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    Drag your clip or clips into MPEG Streamclip. Then use FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME to export the clips in Apple Intermediate Codec.
    Sometimes, MPEG2 clips also require that you install the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component. MPEG Streamclip will tell you if you need this. This is available from Apple for $20.

  • How can i open .mts files in premiere cs4?

    Hi all,
    I am using premiere cs4.
    when i import .mts file in cs4 it says file format is not supported.
    could any one please tell me how can i open .mts file in premiere cs4.
    Thanks
    Murali.

    What kind of audio did the camera record?  For example, the Sony NX5U can be set to record linear PCM audio, which will not import into CS4.  If the same camera is set to record AC3 audio, then the clips should import and play as expected.  This thread may help:

    Three choices:
    1. Upgrade to PSE11

    3. Use manufacturer's software and convert to TIF (or JPG)

  • I'm recording video on JVC HD camera.Every 13:54 it starts a new file.I have one file that won't play.I get this message:Quick time player can't open (names file) because the movie's file format isn't recognized.  Only happens this one file.Ideas?

    I can't open one Quick Time movie file.  It says: Quick time player can't open (names file) because the movie's file format isn't recognized.  Only happens on this one file.  All the others of a two hour shoot are fine. 
    Any ideas what's happened and is there some way to open that file and retrieve what's on it? 

    Thanks this was useful. I have been ripping my audiobooks and I was finding that they would get uploaded to iCloud in the process, which in itself was fine, but then iTunes would not let me change the media type to Audiobook, which is annoying as it effects how iTunes treats the media. Like showing you the skip back 10 seconds button.
    The general outline here helped me work around the issue and change the media type before the media was re-uploaded to iCloud.
