  • How to burn 23 AVI files onto DVD?

    I am trying to figure out how to make a DVD of a tv show season which has 23 episodes for my kids.
    How can I make a DVD with all these?
    Do i have to convert them first or create a project and drag the AVI files in?
    Thanks

    Hi RIPNHL2005
    Welcome to apple discussions. If you find that the avi file/s will not work within iDvd directly (and some will not since avi is simply a container format) then the best way I find is to first convert them with an app like Mpeg streamclip. There are at least two web locations where you can download this freeware and they are shown below.

    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
    Assuming your episodes do not exceed 120 mins. per single layer dvd (or about twice that for dual layer media) then you can use iDvd thereafter.
    However I do have an alternate suggestion also. I use software from Elgato / EyeTV3 in combination with EyeTV products to capture directly to my Hdd and then I can use Toast to burn them to Dvd thereafter. Works rather well and especially if I need to exceed 120 mins per dvd. Toast offers a fit to dvd option that you can't find within iDvd.

  • I have a seagate 1tb hard drive and a 16gb memory stick, how do i transfer avi files from one to another as the click drag and drop wont work, please help?

    i have a seagate 1tb hard drive and a 16gb memory stick, how do i transfer avi files from one to another as the click drag and drop wont work, please help?

    Greetings,
    What happens when you drag it?
    Make sure the drive you are moving the files to has enough available space to receive the file:
    Click on the movie file and go to File >  Get Info and note the "size"
    Check the drive to which you are moving the file to make sure it has enough available space: https://idisk.me.com/madisonfile-Public/web/finder-drive-available-space-and-for mat.html
    Also note the format of the drive you are copying too.  If it is not Mac OS Extended or FAT (not recommended unless you are taking it to a windows computer) then that may be the issue.
    Hope that helps.

  • Why won't iDVD burn my .avi files... it used to?

    i have files ending in .avi that i want to burn to a DVD, in order to watch them on television.
    i throw them into the iDVD and the preview shows nothing but a blank screen.
    iDVD used to burn my .avi files.
    i have converted them to .mp4 / .mpg / .mov... but nothing seems to work.
    sometimes, throwing a .mp4 file into iDVD nothing happens at all, or it will say unsupported / unrecognized file.
    the only time it did work was when i used a program to convert a file to .mp4, but now it has a huge watermark across the picture.
    why all of a sudden does it not work?

    Hi
    If QuickTime-player opens Your .avi files then start Inspector (cmd+I) and read
    Video Format/Codec: nnnnnnnnnnn
    What does it read ?
    What did an old .avi file that worked - read ?

  • How I can watch *.avi files on OS9.2.2?

    Can anybody tell me, how I can watch *.avi files on OS9.2.2? I've installed plenty of codecs (DivX, 3ivx) for QuickTime, but have only video WITHOUT sound! Somebody says, that I need AC3... I've tryed install it too, but without result...
    My system: OS 9.2.2, QuickTime Pro v.6
    iMac G3 (OS X), Pismo with OS9    

    Take a look at the DivX Doctor 2 info on the 3ivx site. It has some info on AC3 audio, although I am not sure if it applies to OS 9.

  • How can I play .avi files, how can I play .avi files

    how can I play >avi files on Mavericks?

    This did solve my question.  I'm not happy with the actions necessary to get the avi file to play, but it works.  I was delivering a presentation with an embedded avi video file to a workplace audience and all of a sudden the transition from powerpoint is not "seamless" anymore, but it is better than not having the movie presentation.
    Mavericks is not a big improvement for me, and this is not the first cumbersome step I've encountered.  I would not recommend a leam to Mavericks unless there is something you really need.  It's not all Apple's fault, as third party app providers are not keeping their product up -to-date, but we don't have computers for the fancy OS, we have it for the apps.

  • How can I break .avi files into parts so I can burn them onto DVDs...

    ...and the files will fit? I have asked this before on another discussions board unsuccessfully.
    Each .avi file is only 250 - 350mb each. So I should be able to fit two .avi files on one 700MB DVD disk. But have tried to use Roxio Toast 6.0 before, but when I try to burn a file onto a DVD a message comes up saying " There's not enough free space on this disk: 2063612 sectors (3.9 GB) are needed, 359849 sectors (702.9 MB) are available."
    But I don't understand this because the actual file that I want to copy onto a DVD is actually only 250 - 350 MB (each). So what I can I do? Please help!
    P.S. I have only used Roxio Toast 6.0 to burn something successfully once before, but that was a .bin file and was around 700MB.

    In iMovie you create a project and then after that you work on the video files. Files are always grey/faded in a Save As dialogue box. 
    Try this:
    Create a new project, just leave it as My Great Movie. Select a location and click "Create".
    File menu > Import
    Select the file(s).
    If it's a large file then go and make a cup of tea.
    Select the clip
    Move the Playhead Marker to where you need to split the clip.
    Press Apple - T (or go Edit menu > Split Video Clip at Playhead .
    Drag the resulting clips to the timeline.
    Choose <i|>File menu > Export
    Either export as Quicktime or straight to iDVD.
    Once you're done delete "My Great Movie" project.
    cheers

    EDIT: Some of the exact terms will differ between iMovie versions. I'm using iMovie HD 6.0.3 which is the final version that will ever work on the iMac G4.

  • How can a make avi files without the length changing?

    I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I'm posting it first here, as the process also involves FinalCut. If there's a better place to get an answer, maybe someone could streer me in that direction.
    I'm doing some subtling which will then be coded onto professional tapes using FCP. I don't have the equipment (digibeta machines) to do that process at my end, so I'm sending the files to a studio and they're going to do the rest for me.
    I have software that'll let me lay down subtitles and then export files with time code, but the software previews with avi files. After messages from the studio telling me that the subtitles were falling out of sync, I finally realized that the avi files I had made from the 30 minute DVD screeners were 4 seconds shorter in length than the material on the screener. I made more and more avi files to double check, each one came out 4 seconds shorter than it should have been. So that's my problem.
    Does anyone know of a way to convert DVD (or VOB) files to avi without losing any time? Alternatively, does anyone know of a program for subtitling that works straight from DVDs? (I looked into Belle Nuit Subtitler, but it's impossible to tell how it works without paying for it and waiting three or four days for the order to manually process.)
    Thanks for any help and sorry my question is so convoluted.

    The best solution to my particular problem seemed to be putting the avi file on the timeline in FCP, selecting it, the choosing "Duration" from the "Modify" menu and resizing it to the length it should have been.
    I'm actually getting a friend to adjust most of the files in Premiere with his PC as I'm still on a G4 PowerBook and the rendering time for the avi files before I can manipulate them was half a day each. (Premiere has a similar feature.)
    Thanks again to Andy for the MPEG Streamclip tip...it looks like it'll be useful in the future, and it's free! Cinematize also looked like it could have helped, but the demo mode only let me test 10 second exports at a time and that wasn't really enough for me to tell if the length changed or not. Didn't buy it this time around.
    I also get the point that there must be a lot of people who use the term "urgent" to mean "hurry up and help me, I don't have time to read" with prolific good Samaratians no doubt tired of being bossed around in that way.
    Fair enough.
    Anyway, the "Duration" option within FCP is one way to fix DVD burns and other format conversions that come out with different time spreads from the original. Rendering can take time on slower Macs though.

  • How do I move AVI files from iPhoto to an AVI player app?

    I have transferred some files from an SD card on to my iPad. They're stored as AVI files in iPhoto but I can't get them to play. I've downloaded an app called Playable which can play AVI but don't know how to transfer the files in to the app.

    Are you able to play them? If not and the fact that the Show File gets you nowhere indicates that those video files are missing from the hard drive. Download Find Any File and search for one of the avi files by full name including extension.

  • How to write 3 AVI files from 3 different cameras connected to 3 PCI 1411's?

    I have a multiple camera acquisition vi and a AVI read/write vi, but I want to acquire from 3 cameras and write 3 AVI files simultaneously. The multiple camera vi uses buffers but the AVI read/write vi does not(I think). How can I accomplish my goal?

    Your best bet is to use the new IMAQ Vision 7, which was released last Tuesday, I believe. It now has native support for writing compressed AVI movie files. These VIs are used the same way the Write BMP.vi and other file I/O VIs are used in IMAQ Vision 6.1.
    Writing 3 files simulateously should be fairly straightforward. If you can get it to work with one camera (img0), then just copy and past the code two more times for img1 and img2. Also write to three different AVI files. That's all you should have to change! Bandwidth to the harddisk may be another matter all together...

  • How to view an AVI file using labVIEW

    hi
    I m working on LAbVIEW 5.1. I want to know how to view an AVI video file in LabVIEW. The image should be displayed on an intensity graph.

    Use Windows media player via ActiveX. Find attached example (it plays an AVI on top of graph area and hides at the end).I attached a screen capture in case you have problems with the converted version of my 6.0 VI. Let me know if it's working.
    Good Luck

  • How do you convert .AVI files for using in iMovie without losing the original clip time and date

    Hi everyone! does anyone know how to convert .AVI files for using in iMovie without losing the original clip time and date? Handbrake, MPEG Streamclip and Evon all replace the original timecode with the date of modification. This is very frustrating when you are trying to keep the chronology right. I know that if you upload the files to iMovie from one device the chronology isn't a problem, but I'm adding video files from a couple of iPhones and a couple of camcorders. any help much appeciated.

  • How can I watch AVI files over a network?

    It was not without hesitation on my part that I started a new thread—I was convinced there was a large body of information available on this subject. That I was correct in this (for there seem a plethora of articles and links) was unfortunately no help to me.
    After suffering the humiliation of my PC-championing roommate show me how to connect to another computer so I could access some AVI files, I ran into the problem of not having my Quicktime player compatible with them. I attempted a number of downloads, including a DivX player, the VLC player, as well as adding XVIDD and on2vp3 components to my Quicktime library folder.
    Currently, none of these have worked. Anyone have a clue about what I need to do?

    Phillip, AVI Files are infact for Windows Video and for you to be able to acsess them and play them you will have to download a Windows Media Player and you will probably have to choose it when you want to view them. Quicktime is your default player on your Mac you will have to change that when you download the windows player, I would leave it as Quicktime and choose the windows when you want to view them.
