How to import DVD-R movie into Keynote?

I just transferred a video (with audio) from a VHS tape to a DVD-R, using a stand-alone DVD Recorder. Now I need to import this into Keynote. I've tried opening/playing the DVD with iMovie iDVD, and Quicktime but they will not recognize it as a readable file. The only application that I have that even will play the disc is DVD Player.
Any suggestions how I can get this movie into my Keynote presentation will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

as log as there aren't copyright issues aren't a problem, something like Handbrake should work to convert the file to something keynote can read.

  • Importing MPEG 4 Movie into Keynote 2

    After spending 5 days trying to import MPEG 4 video from a Canon Optura 500 videocam, I have learned:
    Can't be done. Calling Apple help today, confirmed no possible solution to get the movies into Keynote. I tried everything and read all help information in Keynote and imovie.
    What I did for a do or die presentation: Import clip from camera (no editing allowed, as your edits will be lost on transfer) into imovie, copy and paste from imovie to keynote 2, copy and paste from Keynote 2 to POWERPOINT!
    click on movie on a powerpoint slide and click view, click custom animation, click on your clip and click extras, pick play on click, and you can now play your MPEG4 movie in a slide show.
    An apple rep once told me, in an Apple store, that "Keynote was Powerpoint on steroids". See how bad steroids are for you.

    sigh...while Keynote is an amazing product, the Apple store workers tend to over hype it, to the point of making it sound like it has EVERy feature of PPT, when it's really missing a ton of stuff still. Visually though, I have to agree, it makes PPT look like a toy.
    That said, I'm trying to figure out what exactly your process was, and what did and didn't work. I looked up the specs on the 500, and it appears that while you can shoot in true DV format onto mini DV tape, it also shoots Mpeg4 onto the photo card. Is this what you shot in (as opposed to DV format onto tape)? If so, I'm trying to figure out how you even got it into iMovie as opposed to iPhoto, which is what you use to import movies from a media card. Also, I don't understand your comment on edits getting lost.
    Next, your use of the term slide show is confusing, but I THINK what you'd like is to see the movie sitting there on a poster frame until you want it to play, and then click to make it play. You can do this to an extent, but you have to work around a few missing features in Keynote. Keynote STILL won't let you leave the poster frame showing on the slide and then have the movie play on a click...you'll actually see NOTHING until you trigger the movie as you have to add a build to the movie, and until it builds, you won't see the thing. The work around is to grab a frame of the movie and paste it onto the slide, then build the movie in right on top of it.
    I hope that helps. If you can give more details on what you did and what you TRIED to do, and what you want to end up with, I can try to help you figure it out.
    EDIT: ah, I see this in a review "Playback of media from the card and the tape is available in playback mode, as is recording to a VCR or a digital video (DV) device using a FireWire cable." which means you "should" be able to import into iMovie. The real draw back is you're working with mpeg4 and not DV...and Mpeg4 is REALLY compressed, not a good format to use if you plan to edit it as you'll have to decompress and recompress, losing quality (DV is also compressed, but not nearly as much).

  • 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. 

  • Importing WMV movies into Keynote?

    I'm very new to Keynote and actually movies. I'd like to create a presentation that uses slides, QT Movies and specifically (wmv movies). How can I import the wmv movies into Keynote?
    Thanks,
    Bill

    WMV (Windows Media Video) is not a compatible format for use within Keynote. You will have to convert them to .mov files, however, there are no free applications to do that. They require a purchased license. Flip4Mac will allow you to try the process, but has a limitation of 1/2 the duration of the clip, up to 30 seconds. You choose Export in the file pull down menu in Quicktime, then choose your desired output format. If you want to buy it, you go to the F4M prefs and click on the upgrade tab. The other app that does conversion is called Visual Hub. It's not as full featured as F4M, but it's a little cheaper, and does an OK job.

  • How can i convert 3d movie into 2d to watch it in mac

    i have a movie with mkv file playable on vlc how can i convert the movie into 2d

    There are now a bunch of them out there. Do a Google search for "mac 3D conversion" They tend to be around $35. I have been using iSkysoft products, which have been fairly easy to use. They have a "iMedia Converter Deluxe for Mac" that besides the 3D to 2D conversion, will also convert video to 70+ formats, has a 1-Click Video Downloader, and a single click Rip DVD and Burn to DVDs feature. Also claims to be "Ultrafast" all for the same price others apps are that only do the conversion.

  • How to get Samsung F34BN movies into iMovie

    I just got a Samsung F34BN for Christmas and I can't see from the instructions how to import its movies into iMovie (either 6, 8, or 9). Help OB1, your my only hope

    I have a samsung hmx-h100...try this...if the camcorder came with windows software, turn it off in the camera's menu setting...if it has a memory card (like mine), once you've taken your video, connect the usb cable to your mac...the camera should mount on your desktop...double click the samsung icon, navigate to the video folder, and you should see your video clips...drag them onto the desktop...then open up your version of imovie, click import, and select the clips on your desktop...I had various degree of success doing that with imovie 6...imovie 8 handled it well...the other thing you can do if you want to use imovie 6 is use MPEG Streamclip, drag your clips into it, then export to quicktime...you should then be able to import your quicktime movie into imovie 6 and edit...

  • How to import a PDF form into FormsCentral

    Hi,
    Please help me in How to  import a PDF form into FormsCentral.
    Thanks,
    Techvedic

    Hi Techvedic,
    Import of form in Formscentral depends on how it was created. If you used LiveCycle designer to create the original form then it cannot be imported. However, if the form is created in Acrobat then you can import it by clicking on Import PDF form under Create New form heading.
    Note: In the imported form you may edit the position of the submit button, but other design edits to the imported form will need to be made in the tool used to create that form.
    Hope that helps, let me know if you have any other question.
    Regards,

  • Is it possible to import a pdf figure into Keynote for iOS?

    Hi,
    I was eager to use Kynote on my new iPad Air to make some presentations. But I use a lot of vector graphics in pdf and eps format for my figures. I found out that it is not possible to import such file format into Keynote for iOS. I understand that .eps might be quite outdated already and will never be supported but pdf?!
    It would be best if I could insert my figures directly from Dropbox but since this doesn't seem possible I would be happy to download my pdf figures to iBook for example and import them from there. This doesn't seem to be possible either. Keynote allows me only to browse my photos and it is not possible to put pdf files in Photos.
    Overall - big disappointment from Keynote for iOS to me. It is unusable for my needs and preferences.

    You can import pdf's in keynote!
    Make a pdf with Indesign or something like that. Make sure your pdf has the same resolution as your Ipad: For example, Ipad Air: 2048 x 1536 pixels. (In Indesign, you'll have to create a doc with intent Web (instead of print).
    Then, use a file manager app, like File Manager Pro (https://itunes.apple.com/NL/app/id558270538?mt=8&affId=2083450) to copy the pdf's to your Ipad by using WIFI.
    In the app File Manager Pro, just select your pdf and copy it.
    Now start Keynote, create a new presentation and create a blank sheet.
    Now you can paste, and your pdf will appear, transparant and exactly the same size as your presentation.

    What do you mean by "adjust"? Editing of Photoshop images should be done in Photoshop.
    Sure, it's possible to save individual layers from an image in Photoshop as inidvidual files in a variety of formats, but what's the point? You could just as easily import the layered file, then copy/paste it into a new layer for each layer in the image and use layer visibility to control which ones show. I don't think that will do you a lot of good, though, if you use adjustment layers or opacity controls on the layer in Photoshop.
