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.

How do I get a movie from iMovie 10 to iDVD to burn a disc

How do I get a movie from iMovie 10 to iDVD to burn a disc?

To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

Great question. The following resource outlines how to share a movie to iMovie Theater. If you have an iCloud account, movies you send to the Theater automatically appear on all your other devices, so you can easily watch your movies on your other computers, your iOS devices, and your Apple TV.

How do I get a movie from iMovie to a dvd?

How do I get a movie from iMovie to a dvd to be able to play it on a dvd-player? Tried exporting it but when I burnt it, it doesn't work on the dvdplayer. There is no idvd on my new macbook pro and I'm new to both mac and iMovie.

Hi
If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
• iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
• Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
• Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD

Having trouble getting Quicktime movies into iMovie

Hi everyone. I'm on an iBook with OS 10.3.9 and I'm working with Quicktime 7.0.3 and iMovie 4.0.1. I've been making a student film, and I've been trying to drag or import Quicktime movies into iMovie to edit and use. However, when I attempt to do so, it doesn't work and I get a message that reads, "Can't open file (insert file name here); skipping it and continuing." Is there any way to fix this problem without having to get Quicktime Pro? Thanks.
Brian

Thanks for your reply. I'm pretty sure the files are indeed mpegs. I tried out the program you sent, and it worked for the first clip when I converted it into DV. For some reason, when I tried importing the next two mpeg movies, I got a message that said, "The DV File (insert name here) is the wrong video standard and cannot be imported into this project." Any reason why that should be happening? Thank you very much for your first reply.

How do I get iPhone movies into iTunes' movie menu in the sidebar?

I've tried to get iPhone movies into iTunes, but they turn into .MOV files and won't transfer!
I've tried exporting iPhone movie files from iPhoto into iTunes shared movie files (Movies folder), but
they don't appear in the iTunes movie list! They don't appear in the iPad video app either!
What's the story! . . . . thanks f

Allan, I tried all you suggested. I ended up with 'IMG' files in the source list, and they won't play. When double clicked they try to open for a blink, then back to the list.
When exporting the iPhone video from iPhoto, what did you fill out in the dialogue box. All I saw were selections referring to photos (jpeg, medium, etc.) I didn't see choices for video! Wouldn't it be just as easy to just drag
the video from the iPhoto thumbnails to the desktop? Am I missing something here?
Thanks again

How to get iPhoto movies into iMovie?

Yosemite was recently installed on my 2012 Macbook Pro. Previously, whenever I opened iMovie it would automatically thumbnail any new movies in my iPhoto library and I’d be able to use them immediately in iMovie. Since the Yosemite install, there’s a new version of iMovie and I can’t figure out how to get the movies in iPhoto into iMovie. So confused. Help!

within iMovie on the left side go to iPhoto Library, then movie the mouse slightly to the right where you see choices for events...faces...places....try selecting events and it should bring up what you may be looking for. From this point you can select photos or videos to move into your project. hope this helps

Bought visual hub, still can't get my movies into imovie

Hi I posted in a different post about problems getting movies I made on my sony cybershot into imovie to edit. I was told if I bought visual hub that I could convert into another format that would be accepted in imovie. I've bought visual hub and tried several of the different formats that I was told should be accepted by imovie, but none of this is working. I can't figure out what is wrong here.

I'll be more blunt than Winston, did you try DV (in PAL or NTSC with anamorphic flag to match content)? This is "the Standard" for editing.

Getting Sony movies into iMovie

I have Sony DSC H9 and HX1 digital cameras. The movies are quite good, but they don't seem to be compatible with iMovie. I have been able to xfer into iMovie HD by going through Quick Time. But doesn't see to work with iMovie 7.1.4. Sony says I need info from Apple. Can anybody help??

I am not sure your method is the right one when using Streamclip.
You are not supposed to open the .avi clip, just drag it onto Streamclip and drop it on the dotted square. Now you should see a view of the beginning of the clip within Streamclip. You don't need to play the clip there.
Now you select from the top menubar to 'Export to DV.'
When you tell Streamclip to 'export to DV' does a window come up asking where you want the dv clip saved?
I usually select 'desktop' so I can find it. It will have the same name as whatever your .avi's clip name is, but instead of the suffix .avi, it will be .dv.
When you see the clip converting, another smaller window of that clip, with somewhat jerky movements as the .avi clip is converting, should pop up automatically. Do you see that?
The Streamclip screen should show the beginning of your clip. It does not move and remains the same when the conversion is done. You should not be seeing a black screen there. In fact, I tried to make Streamclip give me a black screen and it would not do that at all.
Take that converted .dv clip and put THAT into your iMovie. (With iMovie 6, I just drag it in; not sure of the proper method with iMovie 9).
Is my description what you are doing and seeing?
Now, I should say that I have installed Apple's QuickTime MPEG component ($20): http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
Once installed, it works in the background and you don't have to do anything at all.
Maybe having it is what makes Streamclip work for me. If you are doing what I listed above and still not getting Streamclip to give you a converted clip, try getting the QT component and seeing if that helps. (Sorry I can't do anything about the $, but well-worth it if it solves the problem).
(Thanks for the compliment).....and yes, we women do like 'cute' cameras!
But, the information offered about yours on the sites I could find was really not helpful. You can find info about .avi that will explain better than I. Mainly, it is a container file that can have videos of different formats within it. Often, but not always, when camera specs are delineated, the specific format will be given, but I could find only one site once that gave MPEG-4 as your camera's video format. However, when I went back to find it again, I was not able to located it. Made me wonder if it is incorrect.....especially since iMovie 9 can recognize MPEG-4.

How do I get a dvd into iMovie for editing?

I want to edit my teaching videos. They are on DVDs. How do I get them into iMovie as all the tutorials I have seen only speak of loading from a camera?

http://www.fcpbook.com/Video6.html
This should help. Rather than using DV which iMovie doesn't handle well for no earthly reason, you should substitute the Apple Intermediate Codec, which may give you better results.
DVDs are very heavily compressed standard definition media, so converting it will not make it any better.

How do import my avi movie into iMovie? And camera help.

I know that these topics have been posted before and I've searched for a solution to no success. I want to import the m ovies I record on my Canon (Ixus 55/Powershot SD450) into my iMovie. BUt whenever I drag the movie file from my desktop to iMovie I get a bouncing icon and it tells me it is not a valid format. I'm sure I have the DivX codec on my Mac, can anyone suggest why it is not working?
While I'm at it, does anyone know of digital cameras of similar standing that will record mpg and iPhoto will erase the content of once it has imported?

If your DVD's are encrypted, Hollywood doesn't want you to be able to figure out how to copy them. Encryption is used in all store bought DVD's.
