What video formats can iMovie edit?

I was wondering what video formats iMovie can edit? Such as mpeg 2, mpeg 4, etc...
the specific reason I'm asing is that I'm considering having some vhs tapes converted to DVD's, which I'm assuming would convert them to mpeg 2...and was wondering if they would be editable in iMovie?

Hi Vapor_action:
Stop!
Seriously-you will be MUCH better off if you have them convert them to DV tape for import to iMovie. DVD uses a different compression and it is a real pain to get them into iMovie. In fact, it is easier to get the VHS to iMovie than DVD in my opinion.

What file formats can itunes play?

After looking at hundreds of posts, I got fed up and decided to ask these questions. What file formats does itunes play and how can you change/adjust them? I thought there was a place to do this when I installed itunes, but I haven't been able to find it so far.
Thanks

Thanks for the help, but my question is still unanswered, I want to know how to associate different file types with iTunes, maybe I am not asking the question correctly, or don't know the terminology. I know that my real player can be made to associate different file types from the tools menu, I check off the boxes with the different extensions, like, .mp3, wav, midi, .ogg, etc... I thought there was a feature like this on iTunes, but I can't find it, is it only available when I install it?

Ok, I give - what movie formats CAN I import?

I've been able to import almost anything to iMovie '06.
I have not been able to import any movies to iMovie '08; I've got QT Pro, and have tried exporting an .AVI in a bunch of different formats, but '08 won't recognize anything...
Any help appreciated!
thx
Andrew

I've been able to import almost anything to iMovie '06.
There are three levels of QT compatibility:
1) Playback Only -- these files (like muxed MPEG-1) can be played in QT based applications but cannot be properly converted to other QT compression formats or edited in QT based applications.
2) Conversion Compatible -- these files will playback in QT applications and can be converted to other QT compatible compression formats but canned be edited natively.
3) Fully compatible -- these files can be played, converted, and/or edited natively in QT applications.
To be imported into iMovie '06 and earlier versions, file need only be "Conversion Compatible" since these older applications automatically converted the files to DV compression for editing. Even MPEG-1 muxed files would be converted only losing the audio content during the import/conversion process. iMovie '08, on the other hand, will edit files natively in a number of different compression formats. Unfortunately, since these files are not converted during the import process, iMovie '08 will not import anything it cannot edit. So if either the audio and/or the video compression format in a movie is not editable, the the file will not be imported until converted by the the user.
I have not been able to import any movies to iMovie '08; I've got QT Pro, and have tried exporting an .AVI in a bunch of different formats, but '08 won't recognize anything...
iMovie '08 is known to be compatible with DV, DVCPRO, DVCPRO50, AIC, MPEG-4, H.264, and MJPEG video compression. Apple Video and Apple Animation compression formats can also be imported and edited but appear to have a bug in their export which is only rendered as a "black" display screen. Uncompressed, DV, "Big Endian", MPEG-4 audio (AAC), and, AIFF are known to be audio compatible while µ-Law and DVI ADPCM audio are not editable. Since AVI files can contain any number of audio and video compression formats in almost any combination, you need to ckeck to see what is and what is not compatible. A Casio MJPEG/DVI ADPCM file will not import/edit until the audio is converted to an editable format like AAC. The same holds try for a Kodak MOV file containing MPEG4/µ-Law.

What video format will iTunes accept?

I want to add some videos to my music video library. What format will iTunes accept and play? I am not concerned about playing them on an iPod so I would like a little better resolution than the standard for the iPod. Help!!!

Perhaps this will provide the information you need:

Hope it helps.

What Video Formats will iDVD5 import?

Apple's website is not very clear on this.
Will it import anything other than DV?
Will it import all QT codecs? MPEG2?
Thanks for any help,
Ross
P.S. My search here did not find it either.

I'm late to this thread - so maybe this is for Those Who Come After.. - but, I found this all a bit hard to follow & still can't figure out why Sheila's buying Toast (a great but not cheap product) to make DVDs with all the 'fancy bits' when she already has a superb, free product that does precisely that.... iDVD. (Compared to most of the other software I've used to do this stuff iDVD is so User-Friendly I've taken it home to meet Mother ..
In a general answer to the original question - and related -, (HDVid,pics/extras aside)
b all the iDVD/ iMovie products were designed to take Digital Video,, i.e. DV from a compatible DV Cam (or precisely-formatted DV files which came from DV from a compatible DV Cam...) work with it and produce various output or Delivery products (whatever else the Docs etc. may suggest).
Ignoring pictures, iDVD takes in DV, allows extensive easy user customisation and produces DVDs after 'hidden' transcoding To MPEG-2 and creating the full DVD structure itself. (you could start from lots of other formats, transcode to a DV file and use iDVD from there but the results will likely range from bad to unviewable - if your Dad sends you an MPEG2 file, that's what you'll have to do to use iDVD - and chances of the transcoding screwing up are high - in my experience of the huge variations in file format/quality/bug level etc on PC-encoded MPEGs).
Best approach for iMov/iDVD (or almost anything else...is as suggested by our friend above):- have him send you a DV Tape copy, access a cam for a couple of hours and use iMovie to Capture as a DV file and proceed from there .... as you encounter the inevitable roadbumps (buy some DVD-RW.. you'll always have the original, full, highest-quality DV to go back to.
Toast (and DVDSP & other DVD creator/author tools) require solid, standards-compliant MPEG-2 as input (but I refer you to my comments above). There are a number of tools that'll do the DV->MPEG2 transcode on the Mac. They vary in quality, speed, price...... (you can't easily use the 'hidden' iDVD stuff last time I looked...).
To put it less technically, e.g. Mpeg-1 is mostly pretty small and pretty poor quality. "Enlarging' it in transcoding to DV is just going to give you a LARGE, bad-quality picture... - [an extreme example, but transcoding UP or 'across' - in 'quality' - is always bad. Transcoding DOWN from hi-quality DV to MPEG-2 for Delivery on DVD (e.g.) can be quite good - which is why you always try to do it ONCE and do it last.
[Perhaps it's not obvious to people, but most of these formats 'throw away' huge amounts of data/picture information: 2hr DV is about 30Gig... Transcoded to MPEG2, it may be 4. That's 26Gig worth of picture info that just isn't there anymore....]
For anyone working with this stuff, I recommend some Googling for info/tutes and FAAQs on Capture, editing and Delivery CODECs (CODECCentral used to be one....)
b 1 line summary: wherever possible, start with hi quality DV (or better), edit/play about in that, last, transcode to Deliver in whatever suits.
Best wishes.....

What video types can be imported and played on my iPhone?

I was able to import videos to i Tunes however I was unable to sync them. I received an error message stating that the video will not sync because it cannot be played on my iPhone. Most of the videos I tried to sync are Quicktime videos so I am wondering if there is a certain type or types that can only be played on iPhone

i convert my videos into the mp4 format and have no problems uploading them to the phone.

What file formats can Fireworks Import and Export?

the basics

welcome moremusicplease to the -board...
you should let repair your sticking shift-key soon, because in the iNet all-caps means SHOUTING...
iM's internal file format is "dv", preferable in a mov container or as dv-stream.. 1h video in dv = 13GB .. happy downloading...-
any other codecs are mostly playback-only codecs => loss of pic quality + needs conversion...
a good compromise in loss-due-to-conversion and file-size is a h264 encoding...
your 2nd question......
* DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
* Apple mpeg2 plugin (20$) + Streamclip (free)
* Cinematize >60$
* Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
* Toast6/7 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
* connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter

what kind of video formats can i use to import into imovie?

Hello,
Adobe stopped supporting flash for android since ICS. You may still be able to download the latest (old) flash player "at your own risk" from Adobe archived flash player versions:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
Please read the disclaimer at the end as it is not advised to install unsupported flash versions.
As for video streaming, there are lot of apps for that and it's just a matter of your preference.
Hope that helps

What file format can be used to play 3D videos on Panasonic TVPlasma3D with USB PenDrive?

What file format can be used to play 3D videos on Panasonic TVPlasma3D with USB PenDrive?
I writed to Panasonic Italy support about this question:
"What file format can be used to play 3D videos on Panasonic TVPlasma3D with USB PenDrive?"
Panasonic writed me in a very poor manner and said me:
"...riproduce formati: AVCHD (anche 3D), SD-Video, DivXHD, JPEG, MP3, AAC tramite USB e Slot SD/SDHC/SDXC card..."
"...formato : AVCHD estensione file nella SD: .MTS..."
I made a few videos edited with PremiereProCS5 and exported as H.264 Coding and .mp4 file extension, all side by side, with layout 1920x1080pixels that includes two stretched frames at 960x1080 pixels.
This is the same image layout that uses the Panasonic 3D consumer camcorder "HDC-SDT750", that record AVCHD videos with file extension .MTS.
I also tried to export another video as MPEG2 with .mpg file extension.
But at the store the tests failed, and I cannot see anything!
My questions are:
1) What format can be used by PremiereProCS5 for exporting the Stereoscopic 3D videoclip and play them via USB port on Panasonic TVPlasma3D such "TX-P46VT20"?
2) What codec should be used? H.264? H.264-bluray?
3) What file extension should have the movie file? .mp4?
Many Thanks!
Horsepower0171.

-I already read entirely those threads, but nothing about stereoscopic 3D AVCHD movies through USB port, on Panasonic TVPlasma3D.
(Also, Sony said me that is not possible to play 3D videos on your 3DTV through USB port).
I tried to made a H.264 videoclip, with .MP4 extension, at 960x1080p side-by-side layout, but nothing was displayed, and black screen.
I think that just the AVCHD movies, with .MTS extension, that comes from Panasonic consumer camcorder "HDC-SDT750", can play the 3D videos via HDMI cable, not USB port.
But not the exported videos from PremierePro via USB port.
I seen this tutorial from David K Helmly:
http://www.youtube.com/user/dhelmly#p/a/u/1/_YtF0c2bmkw
Dave export the video from PremiereProCS5 as "MPEG2-bluray" format with "Match Source Attributes (HighQuality)" Preset, and build the Bluray Disc in EncoreCS5, with the footage as MPEG2 with .m2v file extension:
1) Anyone tried to play correctly in 3D, those MPEG2-.m2v side-by-side files, in Panasonic3DTV, with BlurayDiscReader?
2) Why MPEG2.m2v side-by-side?
3) The official standard stereoscopic 3D format, is not the .MVC (MultiViewCoding) for Bluray3D Disc?
I am confused!
Help!

What files formats does Itunes support

what files formats does Itunes support???
Been trying to load some anime into Itunes and they wont play on my Apple Tv, though they play on the computer. Why is that. I've got codes and all that other jazz. What gives....

iTunes 11 can currently read, write and convert between MP3, AIFF, WAV, MPEG-4, AAC and Apple Lossless (.m4a).
iTunes can also play any audio files that QuickTime can play (as well as some video formats), including Protected AAC files from the iTunes Store and Audible.com audio books. There is limited support for Vorbis and FLAC enclosed in an Ogg container (files using the Ogg container format are not natively supported) or Speex codecs with the Xiph QuickTime Components. Because tag editing and album art is done within iTunes and not QuickTime, these features will not work with these QuickTime components. As of Snow Leopard, iTunes 9 (Mac) will play HE-AAC / AAC+ internet streams. The latest version of iTunes (Win/Mac) supports importing audio CDs with the default iTunes standard file format of AAC at 256 kbit/s, but users can choose from 16 kbit/s to 320 kbit/s constant bit rates (CBR) in either AAC or MP3.[citation needed] Importing of audio CDs into MP3 or AAC formats can also be accomplished using variable bitrate (VBR) encoding.
The Windows version of iTunes can automatically transcode DRM-free WMA (including version 9) files to other audio formats, but does not support playback of WMA files and will not transcode DRM protected WMA files. Telestream, Inc. provides free codecs for Mac users of QuickTime to enable playback of unprotected Windows Media files. These codecs are recommended by Microsoft.[34]
In addition to importing CDs into the iTunes library, the user can also import non-Apple mp3 files from Amazon.com and other sources. This can be accomplished by either right clicking on the file, selecting open with, and then selecting iTunes or dragging the file into the open iTunes window. Alternatively, for Amazon.com mp3s, the Amazon MP3 Downloader application will automatically import the mp3 files into the iTunes library.

After converted, what video formats work w/ ipod?

i down loaded some video's from limewire and put them on itunes. after converting all the videos so they were ipod compadable,the ones that were converted had NO sound and the original unconverted videos had sound.so,what video formats,downloaded from limewire,(ex. mp3, mp4...) work w/ my ipod and itunes after bieng converted so they have sound when i listen/view to them on my ipod.

after bieng converted so they have sound when i
Mp4 is what you need, but honestly, you'd be much better of converting them yourself, as you never know what kind of quality you're going to get when you get them from somebody else, plus, you can make sure the sound is set correctly!

What video formats Ipod 30GB supports...?

Hi
Recently bought a Ipod 30GB. I am not able to uploead the *.dat video files into Ipod.
Can any one let me know what video formats Ipod 30GB supports...?
Thanks

hi Murali!
there's some info on that in this document:
Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing video with iTunes and iPod
that FAQ is actually a bit out of date. as of itunes 6.0.2.23, some files can also be converted by itunes. see:

What video format is best for video quality?

Would anyone care to comment on what video format is recommended to achieve the best video quality in Encore when burning to a 25 GB Blu-ray disc? I have the choice of saving my HD video that will be imported into Premier Pro CS4 (and then sent to Encore CS4) in .mp4, .mt2s or .ts and I'm not sure which one will give me the best results. Thanks in advance for the insight!
Ken

does that mean that one is not necessarily "better" than the other?
That is correct.
Now, some feel that with the MP4 H.264 that there are differences between the Apple, the Lead and the MainConcept H.264. Each supplier has a "camp of followers."

What video format to export for Ipad Apps

Hi,
I am new in export flash to ipad. I tried to export my video as FLV for my ipad apps, it plays but its lagging or jerky.
I had tried other formats like mp4, f4v, m4v or mov it just doesn't play
Wonder if anyone knows what video format to export for my ipad apps?
Bruce
http://www.vmw.com.sg

[email protected], on an iPad, here's what I did to get the FLV loading and taking up (most) of the screen. You can't use the FLV Component skins so you have to use the UI Components as markc888 suggested below your comment. My only gripe with this solution is that I can't get the fullScreen button to make the video go full screen.
This is starts from a playVideo button on my stage.
playVideo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playVideoClick);
function playVideoClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
var flvPlayback:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
flvPlayback.x = 62;
flvPlayback.y = 62;
flvPlayback.width = 900;
flvPlayback.height = 506;
flvPlayback.fullScreenTakeOver = true;
flvPlayback.autoPlay = true;
flvPlayback.source = "yourMovie.flv";
flvPlayback.bufferTime = .1;
addChild(flvPlayback);
flvPlayback.playPauseButton = playPauseBtn_mc;
flvPlayback.stopButton = stopBtn_mc;
flvPlayback.seekBar = seekBar_mc;
var closeMovie:yourMovieClip = new yourMovieClip();
addChild(closeMovie);
closeMovie.x = 977;
closeMovie.y = 77;
closeMovie.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeMovieClick);
function closeMovie(event:MouseEvent):void {
flvPlayback.stop();
removeChild(flvPlayback);
removeChild(closePres);
Hope it helps...
