How can I relocate my iMovie08 video files to another folder or drive?

How can I find and/or change the path iMovie uses to store and access my video and project files?
I know that this was possible in iMovie HD but I have looked through iMovie 08 and can not find any indication of where iMovie 08 is looking or storing the video/project files.
Anyone know where I should look... or how I can change the path the program uses to store these files.

You can change the path where Events are stored on the import screen. External Drives must be formatted as HFS+ or HFS+ Journalled to be available.
For Events you want to move, click "VIEW/SHOW EVENTS BY VOLUME".
Now you can drag and drop Events in the Events Source List to another drive by dragging and dropping. iMovie will automatically create any folders it needs.
It is best to leave Projects where they are.

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 get an MP4 video file to work in iMovie 08'?

I'm currently editing a wedding video i recorded on my Sony DV camcorder in iMovie 08' and want to splice a MP4 video file (from a mobile phone- make unknown) of the married couple on their first dance into the footage but can't
How do i go about acheiving this?

Autoplay is not universally supported by all devices. Many smatphone data plans can't handle the burden of preloaded and auto playing media. There's nothing you can do to change this b/c mobile devices simply ignore the parameter.   All that said, why are you still using player plugins? You don't need them with HTML5 video.
Copy & paste this code into a new, blank document. Change video files to your own.

How can I send a large video file from my iPhone 4?

How can I send (by text) a (fairly) large video file from my iPhone 4 without it getting compressed first?
If that's not possible is there a way to uncompress the video file one it is received onto the receiving iPhone?
Or is there a way to sync or transfer a video file from iPhone to iPhone?

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 edit a VRO video file in Premiere Pro CC

I have a VRO video file stored on my windows based pc and would like to edit it with Premiere Pro CC. How can I get Premiere Pro CC to recognise this file and allow me to edit it?

Change the extention to vob or mpg maybe that will do the trick,
or google for the AVS Video Tools VRO Converter.

How can I cut up a video file into smaller bits?

I shot around 3 hrs of 1920x1080 AVCHD in 2 clips (a wide shot of the stage of a musical production I performed in) It all fits in the internal memory of my camera.
Two friends shot medium and closeups in Standard AVI with a view of making a DVD (2 disks)
They will be editing it in Premier Pro standard def.(a 3 camera production!)
When I convert my AVCHD to AVI SD, each of my 2 reduced clips is still too big to fit on one dvd disk as a data disk.
How can I cut each clip in half to fit on a total of 4 disks so I can send them the video?
If I make two AVCHD projects out of each clip in PE9 and share as DV, the quality is badly degraded. Near vertical lines become very jagged and the picture is much softer than if it had been originally shot in SD.
If I make a PE9 DV project and import the AVCHD instead, I get the red line and the picture once rendered is no better.
I have seen references to a lossless codec. Would this do the job in PE9 and how do I implement it?
The 4Media converter does a much better job of converting to SD but how can I cut the new file in half?

I would point out that Standard Def here in Australia(576) is 12% better vertical resolution that in USA(480).
So European & Aussie SD doesnt look quite so bad compared with full HD
In fact if you stand more than 4 metres from a 40" screen, most people cant see the difference between good SD and full HD.because the eye cant resolve such fine detail at that dustance even with perfect vision.
This is providing the original material was shot with a good camera capable of HD and it was downscaled properly.
Converters
I. downloaded trials of the following converters and rank them in the following order
1. 4Media version 6 AVCHD to AVI converter ($37)
2. Prism
3. AVS
4. Wondershare
5. PE9 making seperate SD projects
I found them obviously different with PE9 right at the bottom of the scale! I will never use it again to make a SD project.
Blurryness and jagged or twinkling diagonal lines were the most common faults.
4Media shone above all the others. When used on the highest bit rate was only slightly softer than the ACVHD material with no jagged diagonal lines but it produced an AVI file the same size as the AVCHD.
When I set the bit rate so the AVI file produced was half the original AVCHD, the quality was equal to original SD video Shot on my old Sony Camera that cost me $2000 5 years ago.
I can split the files with this program too!
Judging picture quality
All pictures will have errors and be less than ideal. It's just a matter of how many are acceptable.
The ONLY way to evaluate how good a picture is to view it on the best possible setup. You can't judge vertical resolution on an old CRT TV which is a different number of lines anyway (525 or 625) so evaluation is impossible. Digital TV thru a set top box to a CRT TV is far worse than the original analog.
Because everyone knows SD is worse then HD but it should only be half as bad (576 is about half of 1080)
Because I wear glasses that perfectly correct my focus and slight astigmatism, I have a good rough method of calibrating my eyes so I can relatively judge quality of different pictures on different systems.
I vary the difference between myself and the screen so the left and right edges are in line with my fingers inside the frames of my glasses!
This is equivalent to sitting two thirds from the screen in the average picture theatre where you can comfortably sit without being disturbed by deficiencies of most film and HD projection.
Applying this to my computer screen I can now judge pretty well. If a picture looks really good under these circumstamces it IS good and I can easily see any meaningfull errors.
Using my calibration "method", I found that full HD on my 40" LCD is noticeably sharper than the best cinema in our city (we have 39 of them, some with 8 theaters ) and after enquiries found they are all 1440x768 and not true HD at all.If you get there earlier than when they boot up their projector you can often see this in their boot up screen.
Worse still they slightly defocus them so you can see the pixel structure close up!
The now rare 35mm Film projection ranks even lower by the time copies are distributed.
You can't buy analog TVs or CRT screens anymore here anyway and Analog TV finishes here completely next year.

How can you convert a large video file from the photo cache of an iphone3g to a playable file on a pc?

how does one transfer a large ( 1gb) video file from an iphone3g photo cache to a pc in a playable format?

The same way you would import any photo/video from a digital camera. Connect the iPhone to the computer and import the file. Then it can be played with Quicktime or any software that supports that file format.

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.

HT3775 how can i convert an AVI video file to work on my iMac?

I have just bought an imac and am trying to put my movies on to the mac from a microsoft machine. A lot of them are in AVI or MKV formats and I want to know if there is a converter I can download on my imac which will convert these files? Any help would be gratefully received.

If you just want to move these avi and mkv files to play on iMac, you can download VLC player, it plays just every file format.
http://www.videolan.org
For converting files to Mac readable format, I use this one all the time:

It supports handling multiple files at a time. one of my cameras record in .AVI format and i bulk convert to .mp4 or h264.

Can you point me in the right direction?   I'm new to Dreamweaver and website designing, so please be gentle.    Thanking you in advance.

A couple things...
Generally speaking an "autoplay" video will cost you visitors, especially one that takes a long time to load then just "kicks in".
Flash video is definitely not the best route online since iPads, iPhones, Android and others are not capable of running flash of any variety.
I stopped using Flash a while back in favor of HTML5 video, but IIRC, to loop a flash file you can add a loop parameter like...
<param name="loop" value="true">

How can i put a 3GP video file into i movie?

I have put all my baby sisters videos into imovie to make a CD...
but the most important one (the one where she was born) wont go in because its not the (mov) format, its (3GP). Can anybody help?

You could use QuickTime Pro to export your file to DV Stream. This .dv file will work with any version of iMovie.
Because your .3gp file has small dimensions the export will resize it and image quality will suffer.

How can I play music and video files in Solaris 10?

Hi all. I just downloaded Solaris 10 and installed it. I haven't used it for a long time (since version 8), and as I can see now, there are many improvements. I just loved Java Desktop! :)
Can someone please tell me what libs or codecs etc, do I have to download and install in order to play music and videos (mp3, wmv, dvd etc), and where I can find them?
I use the on-boaad sound system (Realtek AC97)
Thank you all.

You didn't mention if the sound drivers are working. If not, download and install the driver from here and reboot (it supports your codec):

For players, see my FAQ:

DVDs are more of a problem because of DCIMA. Look around.
