How to convert files for transfer

I borrowed a friends camera Canon XF300 and am shooting in 1920x1080 30p.  We have been moving the data files to a laptop, but need to convert the files to import to FCP7.  What's a good conversion software for this?

Thanks for joining in, Shane.  Question is, Can you reconstruct it just by adding the "Empty" folders?  We tried this, but it seems the files that were not captured with the folders titled...
CONTENTS
     CLIPS001
....still aren't recognized.  We tried adding thes "Dummy" folders, but can't seem to Fake Out Final Cut.  We also had a card with the raw files on it and added the other files that were brought in without the "parent" folder, but FCP won't recognize these.  It seems that if all the info is there, there must be some way to construct them, but I just can't figure out how....
My wife actually watched your video last night, but still can't find that "Magic Bullet"

  • How to convert files for use in iMovie?

    I have ripped some home movie footage from DVD using mactheripper to my harddrive.
    Coolio.
    Now, how on earth to i get the files into iMovie?
    I'm guessing I need to convert the files somehow but how? Using what?
    Please tell me the procedure, thanks, R

    ... am a mac newbie and...
    .. then, you shouldn't stroll around in the outer rims of the iNet, looking for MTR.. , this app is mostly intended for distracting copy protection from commercial dvds...
    give that app a try:
    DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
    legal, handy, very Mac-like in usage... plus a free trial, you can test, how it works for you....
    just to mention that:
    DVD uses a plyback-format, end-of-the-road, delivery standard.. not meant for further processing.. you will recognize a (dramatic) loss in pic quality..

    Thanks

    I tried to give an answer with less steps. I know it's a Pages file & all you have to do is select & copy the content in your Pages file & then open Preview.app. Next time I'll include the exporting to PDF & opening that in Preview.app or in Pages go to File > Print > click on the PDF button in the lower left of the print window & choose Open in Preview.

    Thanks
    Naveen

    you can send a file as an exel attachment in mail,
    step 1:
       send file data to an internal table.
    step 2:
       loop through the internal table(itab).
        concatinate itab-field1
                          abap_char_utilities=>horizontal tab
                         itab-field2
                         abap_char_utilities=>horizontal tab
                        abap_char_utilities=>vertical tab
            into t_attachment-line
    append t_attachment
    step 3:
    Fill the document data and get size of attachment
      CLEAR w_doc_data.
      READ TABLE it_attach INDEX w_cnt.  
      w_doc_data-doc_size =
      ( w_cnt - 1 ) * 255 + STRLEN( it_attach ).
    Describe the body of the message
      CLEAR t_packing_list.
      REFRESH t_packing_list.
      t_packing_list-transf_bin = space.
      t_packing_list-head_start = 1.
      t_packing_list-head_num = 0.
      t_packing_list-body_start = 1.
      DESCRIBE TABLE it_message LINES t_packing_list-body_num.
      t_packing_list-doc_type = 'RAW'.
      APPEND t_packing_list.
    Create attachment notification
      t_packing_list-transf_bin = 'X'.
      t_packing_list-head_start = 1.
      t_packing_list-head_num = 1.
      t_packing_list-body_start = 1.
      DESCRIBE TABLE t_attachment LINES t_packing_list-body_num.
      t_packing_list-doc_type = 'XLS'.
       t_packing_list-doc_size = t_packing_list-body_num * 255.
      t_packing_list-obj_name   = 'Attachment'.
      t_packing_list-obj_descr  = 'mail xls'
      APPEND t_packing_list.
    Add the recipients email address
      CLEAR t_receivers.
      REFRESH t_receivers.
        MOVE: mail id TO t_receivers-receiver,
        'U' TO t_receivers-rec_type,
        APPEND t_receivers.
      CALL  FUNCTION 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'
        EXPORTING
          document_data              = w_doc_data
          put_in_outbox              = 'X'
          commit_work                = 'X'
        TABLES
          packing_list               = t_packing_list
          contents_bin               = t_attachment
          contents_txt               = it_message
          receivers                  = t_receivers
        EXCEPTIONS
          too_many_receivers         = 1
          document_not_sent          = 2
          document_type_not_exist    = 3
          operation_no_authorization = 4
          parameter_error            = 5
          x_error                    = 6
          enqueue_error              = 7
          OTHERS                     = 8.
    check the FM and creat the internal table types
    by this way you can send excel as an attachment 
    but problem in sending EXCEL attachment is if the data crosses the limit of excle file the file will not open.

  • Can Indesign CS5 convert files for use on Kindle?

    Hello,
    Have any of you converted books for use on Kindle, and if so, how did you do it, and did it go smoothly? Please explain in "dummies" terms, as I find this topic to be very confusing.
    If I convert files to ePub format in Ind. CS5, is this all I need to do to convert it to a format that can be used on a Kindle reader? Would this work for graphics as well as text?
    Internet searches about this gave info for an older version, CS4, and seemed to require using supplemental software to successfully convert to Kindle format.
    Thanks for any advice.
    L

    Yes, going to EPUB and then Kindle seems to be the best route.
    A few suggestions.
    1.       Upgrade to CS6. EPUB capabilities have been dramatically improved.
    2.       Buy some good books EPUB. I suggest these two Liz Castro’s books for a start: http://amzn.to/LI9Q5b and  http://amzn.to/LIa38o
    3.       Visit Liz’s blog: http://www.pigsgourdsandwikis.com/
    4.       Check out Ann Marie Concepcion’s excellent Lynda.com titles. This link will get you a one week trial: http://bit.ly/fcGpiI
    Finally, you need to get at least a beginner’s grasp of HTML and CSS. Without that, quite frankly, you’re screwed.

  • How to convert files

    i just dragged and dropped a home movie tat i had saved from dvd to my mac and i was wondering how to convert the files to bring them into imovie (they are currently .BUP .IFO .VOB)
    what do i do to convert??

    you will need a free program called MPEG Streamclip and a $20 program available online through the Apple Store called Apple Quicktime MPEG2 Playback Component. After you have installed both programs, you can open MPEG Streamclip, and drag the VOB files into the workspace of MPEG Streamclip. If it offers to fix timecode breaks, say yes. You should be able to play it and see what it looks like. You can export it from MPEG Stramclip into a format that is editable by iMovie. I would recommend QuickTime/AIC as the highest quality, but DV will also work. You may also want to deinterlace in this step. You can experiment with deinterlaced or interlaced and see which looks better, but for most MPEG2 source, I would deinterlace.
    Now open iMovie and do a File/Import.

    I have just asked a question about downloading MacKeeper elsewhere - why do you say not to download it? Does it not work or is it malicious?
    Do you have any others suggestions for cleaning up my laptop and desktop? Both running OS 10.6.8 and both seem a bit slow to me, especially when I have multiple applications open.
    Thanks

  • How to convert FLASH for iBooks?

    Hi,
    How to convert FLASH files to add them into iBooks?
    Could Compressor 4 convert .FLA to MP4 or other format that iBooksAuthor accept?
    Thank you~

    Did you contact Adobe Support to  get advice on a converstion or dealing with HTML5? If not you should they are pretty good at sorting out what we lesser mortals see as mind bending  problems.
    Adobe Media Encoder appears to have the  option you require, although I have never used it myself to convert a Flash file.
    I have  used it to convert the Flv files  into MP4  which also gives convert options suitable for use on iPads and other  gizmo's
    Another ( in desperation ) way is use "Snagit" if you have it or a similar screen grabber that offers "movie recordings"  - Run your Flash file and  run the screen grab.. in video mode and the output is mp4.
    I  just tried it on a Google ad and its seems to work OK.

  • How can multiple files for the same genre be consolidated

    I organize my iTunes files in genre folders for easy access. ITunes creates multiple folders for some genres and allows a single (preferred) genre file for other much larger files. How can I consolidate multiple files with the same genre?

    Thanks. I've done what you selected. The problem is that despite all files being identified with the same genre, iTunes groups some genres in two separate folders. Thus, I have two "Country" folders, for example. More perplexing is that iTunes groups my largest genre folder, "Jazz", in a single folder.

  • Converting files for CS3

    I was given a JVC Everio HD camera recently and didn't realise until now that downloading the files is in a a format that Premiere Pro CS3 doesn't recognise(.MOD). I have a file converter but when I convert a file to an avi it looks more like 4:3 instead of the widescreen it was recored as.
    That being the case is there a format you would recommend I convert to that is still high quality but yet will leave me with a file that looks like the original 16:9
    in CS3?
    Many Thanks

    you might have missed this info following the threads mentioned above...
    For a variety of reasons, MOD  files from JVC Everio camcorders can be challenging for many video  editors, including Premiere Elements, to work with.
    Forum  member MarkItVision offers his best solution for making the files easier  to edit.
    Using CyberLink Power Director Express - a  program which comes bundled with the camcorder - capture the video and  then place it on the timeline. Then go to File>Produce Movie and at  "step 1" select "create a file"
    Change the settings as  shown to Type II and High Quality 48k. Change settings by clicking on  the button two over from the one labeled CLVS and you can confirm the  audio is PCM using the button to the right of it.
    Follow the arrow "right" and give your file a  name and location It will output the AVI as a DV-AVI Type II 48kHz PCM.
    Import  this file into a Premiere Elements project. The program should work  easily with it.
    To conform your video file for widescreen,  drag it to the timeline, right-click on it and set it to "interpret  footage as D1/DV PAL (or NTSC) Widescreen 16:9 (1.422)".
    thats for SD....  which you might consider , as you may not have a computer powerful enough to edit HD if you convert UP to decompressed HD footage from that camera...
