How to import mpeg files downloaded from a Google Drive?

I recently downloaded 18 large clips of a recital which were in .mpeg format. iMovie refused to import any of them. Is there a way to do it and make a movie out of them? The combined files total almost 2 GB.
Thanks.

… A final question -- besides the fact that a DVD-R will only hold 4.7 GB of data, could I make an iMovie at either 420p or 720p? …
a) the standards of videoDVD allow only 480i (PAL: 576i) - so, somewhere in the workflow, camera>>edit>>disk-authoring, the resolution has to be conformed to that standards.
b) size (MBs/GBs) doesn't matter in disk-making, but length (hh:min:sec). Due to the various conversion processes which take place in the making of the disk, the file-size of you project has no relevant info. Just its length. A normal, single-layered DVD fits up to 1h in perfect quality, 2h in acceptable quality, and if the authoring apps supports it, you can squeeze literally  'hours' of video onto a single disk... with tame pic quality...-
so, silly example, a 1080/60p project, 90min, exported as proRes -Master could be 60, 70, 80GBs in size - but fits onto a 4.7GBs DVD-r ..

  • How to import .MOV files coming from everio camcorder ?

    How can I import  .MOV files coming from everio camcorder to imovie ? All I've tried failed, iMovie doesn't want my files, or even recognize.
    All answer welcome.
    Thanx

    JVC released the Quicktime Components update:
    <http://www2.cli.co.jp/products/ne/update_qtc_for_gzhd7/qtc3e_update.htm>
    which should take care of TOD files playing in Quicktime, but:
    The answer to your question depends on which model JVC camcorder you have.
    Here are a few basics:
    1. If you have a JVC HD Everio that records in the AVCHD high definition file format (.mts file extension), and you have an Mac with an Intel processor, (sound like you do) running iMovie '08 or '09, then it should  be no problem. Simply connect the camcorder via USB and launch iMovie.
    2. If you have a slightly older JVC HD Everio that records MPEG2 high definition (.tod file format), then it is easiest if you record in the special 1440CBR mode, and transfer your video to your Mac using an i.Link (Firewire Connection) using the "Playlist Dubbing" process which is explained in your owner's manual.

  • How can I import mpeg files downloaded into itunes?

    How can I import mpeg song files downloaded into itunes?

    Where are your MPEG stored?
    I have hundreds of old MPEGs stored in my nexternal drive, but unfortunatly i was not able import them into iMovie. I did the following trick: I created a new set of a folder and subfolder and called it "Virtual_CAM/DCIM" and saved it on my desktop. Then went to Disk Utilities>File Menue>New>Disk Image from Folder. Then selected the folder on my desktop and clicked enter. I moved the .dmg file to my external (or just keep it on your desktop).

  • How to import previous Itunes database from external hard drive into Itunes on new computer

    I need to know how to import a previous iTunes data base that is saved onto an external hard drive into the iTunes library on my new computer

    There's only one way to do this.
    Copy the iPhoto Library from the old machine to the Pictures Folder on the new machine. You have to copy it as a single item. Then open it, don't import it.

  • How to import the itunes configuration from an old drive to a new C drive?

    I recently upgraded my computer and replaced all the hardware (motherboard, CPU, etc). However I kept the old "C" drive as a back-up with all the software
    including the i-tunes files(playlists, etc). I replaced the old XP OS with an upgraded Windows XP OS and downloaded the last version of i-tunes 8 (8.2.0.23). Is there a way to recover the previous configuration and playlist files that I had before? I tried to use the library import feature but couldn't find the access path to get the old data. Any tips on how to proceed? Thanks in advance.

    Hi José,
    2 considerations: 
    The first one is that (as you experienced) one should not delete or rename any of the predefined columns in the risk/issue list. What you did is the right way, meaning keeping the native column as is and creating new ones based on the business needs. Finally
    you just need to create view with the appropriate fields.
    Then for importing risks from an Excel list, I can't test it right now, but you should have a datagrid view (MS Access type) allowing you pasting data from Excel.
    Hope this helps,

  • Just upgraded to Lion, can't open any pdf file downloaded from internet that was fine with Leopard. How can I overcome this obstacle ?

    Just upgraded to Lion, can't open any pdf file downloaded from the internet that was fine with Leopard before. I just got a black screen when I clicked on a pdf icon on a given internet site, and same happened with several sites that I visited. How can I overcome this obstacle ?

    Try two things with Safari not running:
    1) Launch Adobe Reader, open its preferences, select the Internet category, and check the values under "Display PDF in browser using".  If it's checked, try unchecking it.
    2) Look in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins (at the top-level of your boot volume) for something names AdobePDFViewer.plugin.  If you see such a file, try moving it to a folder named "Disabled Plug-Ins" (if such a folder exists) or onto the Desktop.
    Then see how things work.

  • How can I save the .mp4 files downloaded from internet to ipad memory so that I don't have to download everytime to view them again

    How can I save the .mp4 files downloaded from internet to ipad memory so that I don't have to download everytime to view them again. Also they might remove them from internet so I can't rely on the bookmark to them.

    I'm trying to send home movies to my 10 year old nephew who lives across the country. He doesn't have a computer. He has an iPod touch. His parents have computers. But I don't want everything I ever try to have him do result in "you need your parent's computer for this." It's getting really embarrassing. I have converted my family over to Apple computers but now they want to buy iPhones, iPads, and iPods even though I tell them to go Android. It took a decade to convert them away from windows now I'm trying to keep them away from these freedom limited iOS devices and they won't listen. Then it becomes my responsibility to make their iPads print to their fancy pre-airprint color laser jet printers, get home movies onto them, and countless other things. It's driving me nuts.
    I have converted these files to a format that the iOS devices will play directly off of dropbox. Now, how do I get the infernal devices to save it instead of play it?

  • Files recently downloaded from Canon Legeria FS306 do not play the audio. Can hear audio on camera or downloading same files to a PC. Also hear audio on earlier files downloaded from same camera to iMovie '11. How do I avoid problem & recover lost audio?

    Files recently downloaded from Canon Legeria FS306 to iMovie '11 do not play the audio. I can still hear audio on the camera or by downloading the same files to a PC. Can also hear audio on earlier files downloaded from the same camera to iMovie '11. How do I avoid this problemand recover lthe ost audio?

    The first thing to try is to run Software Update (the Update tab in the Mac App Store.). This was an issue a couple of releases ago, and an update seemed to fix it.
    If you are already at the most recent version of iMovie, then I don't know how to solve you issue. Maybe someone else will have some ideas.

  • How do i find a .mp4 file downloaded from email to my iphone

    How do i find a .mp4 file downloaded from my gmail email to my iphone. Unable to locate the file or maybe not sure how to go about it?

    You don't, as ringtones are a one time purchase and as such can't be redownloaded.
    If you still have them on your iTunes library, you may sinc them from there.
    If you have a backup that contains them, you may restore your phone from that backup.
    Or you can go to expresslane.apple.com and try for a re-issue. Which they do only occasionally and depending on the circumstances.

  • How to import MXF files to Final Cut Pro with smooth editing

    Summary: Follow this tutorial to learn how to import and edit MXF files in Final Cut Pro by converting MTS to FCP native format.
    If you have a Panasonic P2, Canon XF or Sony XDCAM series camcorder,
    you may be familiar with Material eXchange Format (MXF). Though MXF is a
    great video format to record high-definition videos, it is not easy to
    use in that they are not natively supported by most NLE systems like
    Final Cut Pro. In order to import MXF to FCP for editing, the easy workaround is to transcode MXF files to FCP compatible video formats.
    Along with some help from a top MXF Converter, it can be done. To
    help those who wanna edit MXF files in FCP without problems, here I
    share with you a simple guide on how to convert MXF files to edit in
    Final Cut Pro 6/7 or FCP X.
    First of all, downloading the App- Brorsoft MXF Converter for Mac
    Overall, the program is a professional yet easy-to-use MXF Converter
    on Mac (Mavericks included) which can not only convert XF100, Canon
    C300, XF105 and XF305, Panasonic P2 recorded MXF files, but also provide
    simple video editing functions for you. The MXF to FCP Converter not
    only can convert MXF to ProRes for FCP, but also can transcode MXF
    videos for editing in Avid MC, Adobe Premiere Pro, iMovie, FCE, etc.
    Just download it and follow the tutorial below to get the work done.
    Transcoding (P2) MXF files to ProRes for Final Cut Pro 6/7/X
    1. Import MXF files to the converter
    Launch the best MXF to FCP Converter, and then click the “add files” button to browse and import MXF videos from your camcorder or hard drive.
    2. Select FCP editable format
    Click the Format bar, and move mouse cursor to choose “Final Cut Pro > Apple ProRes 422 (*.mov)” as output format.
    Tips:
    a. Settings- click to set video
    resolution(1920×1080/1440×1080/1280×720/720×480), bitrate (from 1Mbps to
    20Mbps), frame rate (24p/30p)
    b. Editor (next to “Add” icon)- click to set deinterlace, trim, crop, add effect, attach subtitles, etc
    3. Start transcoding MXF video to FCP
    Click “Convert” button to start converting MXF files to Apple ProRes
    MOV for FCP 6/7/X under Mac OS. Once the MXF to ProRes 422 conversion
    is done, you can transfer MXF footage into Final Cut Pro (X) for editing
    smoothly on Mac with ease.

  • Make files downloadable from outside tomcat(web) context

    Hi there,
    I made an application on whicht people can upload word/pdf files.
    I put them in a dir called /opt/customer/2342/ , where 2342 is the customer id.
    The files are stored there, because I don't want people to be able to just download the files by using http://www.blahblah.com/customer/2342
    Now I want to create a servlet or jsp file that is able to make the files downloadable for specific users.
    Of course I can find the files using java.util.File. But I don't have a clue how to make them downloadable from this path. Should it be something with a FileStream... ?? And adding the mime-type?
    Can anybody give me some hints on making files downloadable from a specific dir?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Problems importing .mpeg files

    when i import mpeg files into final cut, the video plays, but no sounds come out. so even when i put it into the timeline, there's no audio track. am i doing something wrong?

    I thought his question was that his video was playing but he couldn't hear any music, if he downloaded his music from i-tunes which comes in a mpeg-4 file, final cut pro does not support the mpeg-4 he will have to change it over into a aiff file to make it work, I believe that is what he was asking but maybe I am wrong.
