How do I edit super 8 movies that have been transferred to DVD

Hi
I am new to Mac and would like to make a DVD to present at my son s wedding. The family movies were originally Super 8, were transfered to VHS and then to DVD, losing quality on the way...and they were not great to start with!
I converted them to avi and wmv formats on the PC, but now that I have converted to Mac I would like to know how to proceed.
I would like to extract short clips and put them together with photos and comments.
Do I first create the clips on PC and then import to Mac. But I think Mac cannot read avi or wmv..I don t really know how to proceed. Anyone out there done a similar project?
Thks for any pointers

I would invest in one of the mentioned tools below, to convert the DVD into something, iM can work with:
* DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
* Apple mpeg2 plugin (29$) + Streamclip (free)
I'm using this combo, it allows to convert just the parts of DVD you really need...
* Cinematize >60$
* Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
* Toast 6/7 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
* connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter
non of these apps override copyprotection mechanisms as on commercial dvds...

  • How do i import into iMovie, movies that have been imported into iPhoto?

    There seems to be no way iMovie imports movies from iPhoto. Can some one let me know how to do it?

    That could very well be, but I'm surprised that .mov files didn't appear. You can try rebuilding your iPhoto Library too. To do this, quit iPhoto and iMovie. Hold down the ⌘ Command key + Option key and then launch iPhoto. You will see a dialog box that allows you to reconstruct/rebuild your iPhoto library. Check all the boxes as we don't know at this point exactly why the videos are not appearing. Then click OK and let it run until it finishes. If you have a lot of photos in your library, this may take quite a while. Once it's complete try opening iMovie and see what appears under the iPhoto Videos folder in the Event Library. I would expect to see at least the .mov files showing up.
    If this last step fails, you may need to convert the video clips to a different file format. To do this go into iPhoto hold down the CTRL key and click on one of  our video clips. Choose "Reveal in Finder". This will jump you over to the iPhoto Library folder and you can drag that video clip into a free app called MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5. Download that program from the link I've provided.
    Basically, you drag the .mpg file into MPEG Streamclip. Then use FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) as your codec. iMovie will edit this like there was no tomorrow

    Depends how they were transferred. If you used Migration Assistant, a new user was created. Look there in your documents folder. If you used Setup Assistant, look in your documents folder.

  • How can i remove items from list that have been deleted when i click on them it keeps showing empty

    how can i remove items from the list that have been deleted when i click on them it keeps showing folder empty

    Actually, Reader SHOULD keep showing documents that no longer exist, I disagree. It's no big deal, and people will quickly realise why they can't open the file. They open more files, the old ones move off.
    The REASON why it should not check is that checking whether a file exists can take a long time when things aren't good. For instance if a file server goes down, or a memory card is unplugged. That in turn would mean delays opening the File menu, and I've seen some software that can sit there for several minutes. That would really give people something of which to complain...

  • In a PrC, how to delete data from the PSA that have been loaded in Prcs Chn

    Hello,
    In a process chain, how can I delete the data from the PSA that have been loaded within that process chain. I don't want to delete data that belongs to other business units that use the same datasource.
    Thanks,
    Andre

    I dont think so you can achieve that, PSA is actually datasource dependent.
    One you load from a datasource to PSA.That is accesible by multiple DTPs if you have created so.
    As you said "I don't want to delete data that belongs to other business units that use the same datasource."
    If you delete the PSA, you may have to repull the data from source system again and if thats delta it wont work out.
    As said by above ppl you can include the "Delete PSA" in process chain but choose some 15 days buffer.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to control use from using GL that have been retricted

    Hi SAP Expert,,,
    the scenario is like this, i need to create new roles in order to control certain user from finance dept which there are no have a authorization to POST certain GL.
    i have check my current roles setting, it seems there are no roles that have been created so what is the object that can i use ?

    OK
    The easiest way to do this is to work out the GL accounts you want to use.
    Add an authorization group in control data in the GL master FS00.
    make sure the users have the same authorization object in the profile which is
    F_BKPF_BES  and BRGRU = your new authorization group.
    In terms of restricting the postings for certain periods, the authorization group needs to be added in OB52 against the correct posting period variant, and the users will need access to the authorization group in their profile via F_BKPF_BUP.
    You may need to run this by your secruity officer, however authorizations are maintained in PFCG.
    Please award points if this is useful.

  • Broadcast Date for TV Shows that have been converted from DVD

    How do you put Broadcast Date(s) for episodes of TV Shows that have be converted(using converted software) from a DVD on iTunes.

    You have to have a valid credit card that is registered to an address in which that credit card is issued. So if you want to use the U.S. App Store or iTunes store on your iPad, your credit card must be a U.S. registered card with a U.S. Billing address.
    If you want to change the store to the U.S. store, go iTunes and tap the Music tab. Swipe down to the bottom of the screen and tap on the ID in the lower left corner. If your friend's ID is showing you have to sign out of that ID and sign in with your own. After you are signed in to your account. Tap View Apple ID. Enter your password. Swipe down to Country/Region and you can change to the U.S. store in there. You can also edit the credit card information in there as well to add your credit card.
    You can delete TV shows by launching the Videos App and then tap and hold down on the icon of the TV shaow that you want to delete until the X pops up.Tap the X to delete the show.

  • Anyone know how to remove Overdrive books from my iphone that have been transferred from my computer? They do not show up on itunes. I see a lot of answers to this question but they all are based on being able to see the books in iTunes.

    How do I remove Overdrive books from the library that were downloaded onto my computer then transferred to my iphone? The problem is that they do not show up in iTunes.
    I see this question asked a lot when I google, but they always give answers that assumes you can find the books in iTunes either under the books tab, or the audio books tab or in the music. They do not show up anywhere for me. They do not remove from the app like the ones I downloaded directly onto my iphone.the related archived article does not answer it either.  I even asked a guy working at an apple store and he could not help either.   Anybody...?
    Thanks!

    there is an app called daisydisk on mac app store which will help you see exactly where the memory is focused and consumed try using that app and see which folders are using more memory

    Jailbreaking cannot be reliably undone - even if you're only eleven.
    Note also, that jailbreaking is not to be discussed in these discussions. Don't be surprised if your post gets removed.
    You should also note that the Apple's Terms of Use require that you need to be at least 13 years of age to post here.

  • How can I count only text fields that have been used?

    Hi,
    I'm using Livecycle Designer for a dynamic form.  I have a section of the form that contains field for the user to enter goals and then rate the goal.  I'd like to count only the text fields with entries and then have the total number of rates divided by the number of text field entries.
    Row 1 , column 1 -- Goal is to pick up 5 apples.   Row 1, column 2 - the rate given is 5
    Row 2, column 1 - Goal is to pick up 5 pears.  Row 1, column 2 - the rate given is 5
    Two goals for a total rating of 10     ---  10 divided by 2 = 5
    Is it possible to count only those fields that are populated?
    Also, is it possible to create an error message if the user entered 5 goals but only rated 4 of them?

    You could do a simple check for null and increase a counting variable if there's a value in the field. Here's a sample:
    var goalCount = 0;
    if (field1.rawValue != null){
         goalCount = goalCount + 1;
    if (field2.rawValue != null){
         goalCount = goalCount + 1;
    if (field3.rawValue... etc.
    this.rawValue = totalPoints/goalCount;
    where totalPoints is a sum of the values in the goal fields. This script is javascript and should be placed in the calculate event of the field showing your average score.
