How can you import AVCHD movies using iMovie '11?

H264 is one example of a codec used in MPEG-4 video encoding. Windows Media is a codec. Sorenson is a codec. DVPRO is ...etc....
Play a source video file and do a get info on it and tell me what the audio and video details are.

  • 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.

  • Can you import QuickTime movies into iMovie?

    I am planning to edit PowerPoint slides into video footage of a live presentation. Some PPT slides have animations that I'd like to preserve, so I made movies of selected slides. When I try to import them, I get Unknown Error. After the fact, I went to the Help menu. QuickTime isn't on the list of file formats that can be imported. Am I out of luck, or does someone have a workaround?

    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.

    There are several options to choose from its either you will buy directly from itunes which go directly to movie. Another option is that convert first your movie to mpeg4 by using any converter software, then after converted drga the file (movie) to itunes library. Next thing you will do is to click your account (your ipad device) then look movie tabs then check sync movies.

    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.

  • Please Help.  How can you monitor a directory using jndi connection to a ldap server?

    How can you monitor a directory using jndi connection to a ldap server? I
    want the ldap server to monitor the content change in a file system

    Hi,
    Why do you want to use LDAP for Hard disk monitoring..???
    U can do this by creating a MD5 checksum for all the files existing in some
    perticular
    directory and every hour or any configurable period u can recalculate the
    checksum
    to find out the change in the content.
    I guess all u need is to get the code for "updatedb" utility of Linux and
    instrument it for ur needs..
    Hope it helps...

  • 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.

  • How do you import a movie for Ipod

    How can you put a DVD movie on the new IPOD?

    Actually, what you want to do is illegal in the US (and probably Canada too) since it requires breaking the copyright protection on DVDs. As such, even discussion of methods is prohibited by the [terms of use of this site|http://discussions.apple.com/help.jspa]
    A DVD wouldn't play in itunes anyway since it isn't a supported format.

  • Help! How can I import camcorder video to imovie on my computer?

    I have a G4 tower, running Leopard 10.5.8. I have a Sony Camcorder Handycam HDD Hybrid DCR-SR45. When I plug in the camcorder to computer the imovie does not launch to import. The computer does recognize that I plugged in my camcorder (icon shows up on my desktop), and when I open that file, and click on a file in the folder of video footage taken today, a window pops up that reads "The movie could not be opened. The file is not a movie file". How can I import today's video footage into imovie? Help! Homework project due Tuesday.

    I tried, but when I hit import there is no option that says "import from camera". The driver that shows up on my desktop when I plug in the camcorder reads "no name". When I try to drag the video files into an open window of imovie an error message pops up reading "Error during import", "The file could not be imported;the file ""/volumes/Noname/MP_root/101PNVo1/MZU00001.MPG" Can't be imported. Quicktime could not parse it:-2048
    What else can I try? Thx.
