How to convert dvc tapes from Sony DCR camcorder to format recognized by iMovie 11?

Our Sony Handycam DCR-HC36 is no longer recognized by iMovie.  When we bought the iMac I was able to import tapes from the camcorder, but since updating iMovie it no longer recognizes the camera.  Is there a converter which will read the DVC tapes we have and  import them into the iMovie?

Maybe you can try this: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/video-mate/id592736614?mt=12 (you can try the software directly by clicking the "Yuri Wang Web Site") , a video converter that accepts almost all format videos' conversion.
You can do the conversion in three steps after installing it: add file->choose output format ("Convert to" bar->iMovie)->convert
batch converting is available.

    How can I upload movies from Sony pj580v camcorder to use with imovie 11?

    Transfer it to your computer and import into iTunes, make sure it's in a compatible format. Then simply sync with the iPad. If you have a camera connection kit and you know the footage is compatible you can connect it directly.

  • How to convert slide shows from Video CD to DVD format

    I have a number of Adobe Photoshop Elements slide shows in the Video CD format.  Since many DVD players (especially blue-ray) do not accomodate the Video CD format........... I would like to convert them to DVD.  This will not improve the resolution but will take care of my problem.  I do have Adobe 9.0 Photoshop and Premier Elements.  Suggestions appreciated.

    Even though Photoshop Elements gives you the option of burning a CD or 
    DVD.........in reality I don't think you can do a DVD unless you have Photoshop
    Premier.

  • How can I import a movie from sony DCR trv340 tape to Macbook Pro?

    I have started using iMovie, I know it's been there quite a while, and I am trying to imort from a tape using Sony DCR-TRV340. I can import tapes created on the TRV340 but other tapes that were created on a different Sony device, from back in late 1980's will not load. When I pllay them on the camcorder they appear and I can watch them in iMove but they will not record. It says NO DATA FROM DEVICE. Is there a way to fix that or a setting that needs to be changed?
    Any hel would be appreciated.

    A dual mode camcorder with both a photo camera and camcorder function.
    While Apple doesn't seem to list these as compatible, have you tried connecting with a firewire cable, and turning on iMovie and seeing if it recognizes your camcorder?
    Here is Apple's commentary on trying to get a camcorder to work:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1059#2
    What about contacting Samsung, often companies have a knowledge base.
    I know this isn't what you were asking, but if you have something recorded you absolutely must have, I have a hunch a friend with an older windows computer might be able to get it downloaded, then you could transfer it by thumbdrive to imovie.
    Just a thought.

  • How do I import video from Sony TRV22E into iMovie ?

    How do I import video from Sony TRV22E into iMovie ?

    Hi
    Sony TRV22E - CAN ONLY export the VIDEO material via a FireWire Cable (iLinc)
    Then Your Mac need eiter
    - a FireWire port - or -
    - a Thunderbolt port
    if only Thunderbolt - Then You need a FireWire to Thunderbolt converter.
    The USB- can only copy over the Still photos You also cam take with Your Camera. Will NEVER work for Video Export.

  • How can I open RAWs from Sony RX100II in PSE 11

    I have PSE 11 (Editor only) on iMac. How to open RAW files from Sony RX 100 II?

    You need to upgrade to PSE12 to get support for your camera. Alternatively, download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.2
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

    How do I import movies from sony HDR PJ200?

    hi, if your movies are recorded in AVCHD formats, they are not supported by iMovie so far. So, to make the conversion seems to be the best choice now. Except the brorsoft suggested by emmalucky, Video Mate also fits your mac well. IMovie accepted video formats includs .DV, .MOV, .MPEG-4, .M4V、H.264, .AIC. So, you can convert your movies to above video formats. Hope this help.

  • How to convert VCR Tape to DVD on MACbook Pro?

    Any insight into how to convert VCR tapes to DVD on Macbook Pro would be much appreciated!

    The first question is:  how to get video into your Mac? 
    My answer is:  use a DV camcorder as a translator.  Most Canons and Sonys do this.  Here are some general steps:
    1.  connect the video and audio outputs of your VCR to the input jacks of the camcorder.  (If the video is on an S-video jack instead of the conventional yellow phono jack, it will be a little bit better quality.) 
    2.  Using your camcorder's menu, set it to "AV IN->DV OUT".  This will vary according to the model of your DVCAM.  One hint:  all camcorders have a 3-position camera/off/play(vcr) switch.  In this application, most of them use the PLAY position. 
    3.  Connect the DV out of the camcorder to a firewire port on the Mac.  This requires the cable that comes with the camera...it's a mini-firewire on one end, and a regular firewire 400 on the other.  (If your Mac has only a FW 800 jack, you may need another adapter.) 
    4.  Turn on the DVCAM.  Usually, iMovie will automatically open and be ready to record...if not, start it. 
    5.  Hit PLAY on the VHS machine.  You should see the video in the iMovie window.  When you see what you want to save, press iMovie's button to start recording.  You're free to edit the movie in any way you want. 
    When you have enough for a DVD, save it and use iDVD to burn a disc. 
    Alternatively, if you want to save a step, you can skip the iMovie step and just open up iDVD and select the feature...I forget the exact name...but it's like "Quick Movie" that will just save it as one stream.

    how to convert raw files from new fujifilm x-t1 ?

    The work around of converting the CR2 to dng either with the dng converter or ACR 6.7 will allow working in LR and CS5 but not with the latest raw conversion engine from Adobe i.e PV 2012.
    Remember to keep a copy of the CR2 files if you wish to utilize the Canon software.

  • Help! How to convert an instance from java.lang.Object to a particula class

    * How to convert an instance from java.lang.Object class to a particular class
    witch is known only at the running time?
    Roster EJB component is make up of RosterHome, Roster and RosterBean.
    RosterHome is the home interface of Roster EJB.
    Roster is the remote interface of Roster EJB.
    RosterBean is the implement of Roster EJB.
    The following code segment is to invoke Roster EJB component.
    String jndiName="roster.RosterHome";
    javax.naming.Context initial = getInitialContext();//getInitialContext() returns a instance of Context.
    Object objref = initial.lookup(jndiName);
    RosterHome home =
    (RosterHome)javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(objref,
    RosterHome.class);
    Roster myRoster = home.create();
    String team="T1"
    String player="Tom"
    myRoster.addPlayer(player,team);
    But, now, all the home interface, the remote interface and the JNDI Name of
    Roster EJB component are not been known at the compiling time. However They are
    known at the running time, throught reading from the XML config file.
    Questions:
    1,How to write code for this case ? or
    2,How to convert an instance from Object class to a particular class witch is known
    only at the running time?
    String jndiName="roster.RosterHome";// in fact, reads from XML file.
    String homeClassName="roster.RosterHome";// in fact, reads from XML file.
    String remoteClassName="roster.Roster";// in fact, reads from XML file.
    javax.naming.Context initial = getInitialContext();//getInitialContext() returns a instance of Context.
    Object objref = initial.lookup(jndiName);
    Object objHome= javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(objref,
    Class.forName(homeClassName));
    /* how to do next?
    }

    I am not sure what you are trying to do. But at some point you should know which methods to call on the remote interfaces. Maybe the method names are stored in the XML file as well or you have a set of standard method names (also consider parameters).
    However, this can be solved by reflection. Look at the java.lang.reflect package, especially java.lang.reflect.Method, and also at java.lang.Class.
    If you are doing this on the app server:
    I've seen posts where people say that reflection is not permitted in EJB, but I don't think so. Check the EJB spec.
    If you are doing this in an application: reflection is always permitted. Probably also in applets and JSP.

  • Does anyone know how to convert the output from the standard report to xml?

    Does anyone know how to convert the output from the standard SAP report to xml?

    since it a standard report which you cannot modify you can only do the following.
    submit report exporting list to memory
    then
    list from memory and then
    use the returned itab along with CALL TRNSFORMATION key word to convert to xml.
    but this only going to place the whole list content (including data and formating lines,etc) into a xml element and not the actual data alone in the list .

  • How do you download video from sony camcorder to imovie

    how do you download video from sony camcorder to imovie. 

    First open up Imovie. Then plug the camcorder into the USB port. The computer will search for the camera. It will give a snapshot of what is on there. You can just click on CHECK ALL. It will begin to import. It will also tell you how long it will take. Once it is imported, click DONE. THEN, this is important, drag the snapshots into IMovie on the top to create a new project. You can also click on New Project and name it. When all the pics are in the movie, it will be saved. You can then edit it any way you want. I've done this many times on a Mac. My problem is the internal memory. I have to find out how to get the internal memory videos into my computer. Am currently researching it. BTW, importing from the memory stick is what I did above. Hope this helps.
