How do I install the AC3 codec into my mac OS X Snow Leopard?

I have movies that I want to view and edit in iMovie, but it and QuickTime does not recognize one of the two codecs associated with the files. The codecs are MPEG-2 and AC3. I was able to download the AC3 codec but cannot figure out where to install it at. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have movies that I want to view and edit in iMovie, but it and QuickTime does not recognize one of the two codecs associated with the files. The codecs are MPEG-2 and AC3.
iMovie '08/'09/'11 cannot access non-system or non-video editor added codecs. Muxed MPEG2/AC3 content must be imported directly from the camcorder into iMovie '08/'09/'11 as iMovie has its own special cancorder import routines built into the app which turns the MPEG-2 video into all I-frame MPEG-2 video and the AC3 audio is converted to Linear PCM (AIFF) content, both of which can be edited in iMovie. In addition, start and/or end time offsets are added to minimize variations in A/V synchronizarion. Content that cannot be imported directly from a camcorder or simulate import as if it were directly from a camcorder must be manually converted to edit compatible compression formats.

  • I would like to know how do I install the brazilian keyboard into macbook air, keyboard with accents (Portuguese Language), I tried so many times how to put into it (Macbook Air). So, thanks for now! I'm waiting for it.

    I would like to know how do I install the brazilian keyboard into macbook air, keyboard with accents (Portuguese Language), I tried so many times how to put into it (Macbook Air). So, thanks for now! I'm waiting for it.

    After you go to system preferences/keyboard/input sources as suggested by sberman, click on the + button and scroll down to Portuguese and select that.  Over at the right you will see the choices Brazilian, Brazilian abnt, Portuguese.  You might want to add all three to see which you like best.
    The "Brazilian" layout is pretty useless.  It is identical to the US layout and the only way to make accents is via the option key shortcuts:  option + n, then o gives you õ.
    The Brazilian abnt and Portuguese layouts have dead keys for adding accents over at the right edge of the keyboard.  But these may not match what is printed on your keys.
    You may prefer to stay with the US layout.  On that you can get accented letters by just holding down the base letter and selecting what you want from the popup menu that appears.  Or you can use the option key shortcuts.
    Another option is the layout called US International PC, which has accent deadkeys on ~, ', etc.
    Which ever layout you want to use, you must select it in the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen.
    To see which key does what for any layout, use the Keyboard Viewer:

    What is the mouse pointer called on mac os x snow leopard?

    Probably spelled it that way because that is what I felt like doing to mine at that moment, since it decided to act up on its own, flying around the screen like something out of Harry Potter!   Back under control now.

  • Preview 4.2 has stopped functioning.  How does one install a version of Preview that will operate with Snow Leopard?

    My version of Preview 4.2 had stopped functioning.  How do I install a later version compatible with Snow Leopard?

    Since Preview is part of the system, you can reinstall your OS using your install disks. It will automatically install the correct version. I have not been running Snow Leopard, so I cannot check on the correct version of Preview; however, how did it "stop functioning"? Exactly what happened?

  • How can i install 3rd party software into my Mac with OS X Mountain Lion

    Dear Experts,
    I wish to install a software downloaded from a broadband service website (Yes, 4G broadband from Malaysia) for my 4G dongle to be able to work with OS X (10.8.1). But the system stopped me from installing it, as it said 'the installation file is not downloaded from App store and my security preference has stopped it'?!
    I have my 4G broadband with me but can not be used :-(
    **It works with my Macbook Air (OS X 10.6.8)

    Right-click it and press Open to install that application

  • How do I install the avg security toolbar into Firefox?

    Hello,
    I installed IE10 on my new desktop (HP W7 Ultimate 32 & 64 bit), downloaded AVG free and selected the option to include the AVG Security Toolbar--everything was installed. I then downloaded Firefox 22.0 but found no option to install the AVG Security Toolbar. How do I install the AVG Security Toolbar in my existing Firefox browser? Thank you. jav1, 7/10/2013

    Why would you want the AVG toolbar? It has a tendency to be buggy and all it's "features" are included in browsers already.
    If you really want it, get it at http://www.avg.com/us-en/secure-search (please note AVG toolbar is a third-party program and AVG provides support for it, not us)

    Put your Snow Leopard DVD into the drive and boot to it. As soon as you get the chance, launch Disk Utility. Select the hard drive and partition it however you prefer. Even if you only want one partition, choose that in the drop down menu so the Options button can be clicked. Choose that and make the partition map GUID. Finish partitioning the drive and quit Disk Utility. You can then continue on installing OS X.
