HT202020 Unsupported Video Format for Canon T2i?

Why would they not have support for video from a Canon Rebel T2i, when they do for the T1i, T3i and T4i? Is there anything I can do so that I can see my T2i videos in Aperture?
Any help would be much appriciated!
Thanks.

Microsoft never had to migrate from the PowerPC platform to Intel like Apple did in 2006. Perhaps you have forgotten from previous posts that Apple's license for the technology underlying Rosetta expired with OS X Lion. Since IBM now owns that technology, it is doubtful that it will be renewed.
It would be funny, however, if we watched you dump all of your Mac hardware and software just so you could migrate to Windows and run XP Mode in Windows 7!
Even funnier is that you know I have provided full installation instructions for Snow Leopard into Parallels 7. Maybe you forgot that too?

Since upgrading to Lion, video from 7D shows as unsupported video format

Video from my Canon 7D that used to work fine in Aperture now is showing as unsupported video format can anyone suggest a fix? Is this a Lion, Aperture, or Canon issue?

What's the format of your video? That will give you a hint as to what plugin is failing (or missing).
If you don't know, what's the URL of your site - it shouldn't take long for someone to work out the specifics.

Unsupported Video Format (AC3)

Hi there!
I have a lots of videos which is converted from MTS files to MP4, with help of Turbo.264HD. I was trying to put my videos in to Aperture 3, most of files was not any problem, but for approximately 10% of all files I get black image with text "Unsupported Video Format (AC3)". I was trying to reconvert these files, but still the same problem.
Is it any one who has the same problem?
All videos is from Canon HD cam, I used the same preferences for all video files.

no. it is a message appearing on the TV when the OP connects the appletv.

Pre Lion iPhone videos show Thumbnail but can't play - new video generates Unsupported Video Format popup, no thumb but will play via quicktime

This is really frustrating -
Over the last year I have been uploading all of my photos and occasional iPhone video to Aperture 3 (latest version all patches in place).    Aperture would recognize the video, create a thumbnale and otherwise treat it nicely.
Now, since upgrading to Lion I find that though I can "see" the old videos in their folders or projects and the associated Thunbnale, I can't play them - I either get the spinning color wheel and then nothing or Aperture will crash and report an error relating to Quicktime (sorry don't have an error code at the moment).
If I try and export a video I can - but what I get also can't be played by Quicktime - just a black screen. When I hit Play - the scroll bar moves, but there is no sound or video.
From Final Cut Pro X, I can imoprt this exported video file and see that it appears complete - but FCPX uses it's own playback elements.
If I shoot a new video on my iPhone, I find that I can see the thumbnale in the import option of Aperture when looking at the phone, but once imported I get a Popup telling me that it is an "Unsupported Video Format" - "Do you want to open this video clip with QuickTIme Player?"   If I hit Open then the clip does play, but the thumbnale remains a black square with the warning Exclamation Point.
I have also had some issues with Lion Mail crashing when trying to play a video made on an iPhone and sent to me via email.   Seems more likley to be a Lion / Quicktime issue then an Aperture and Mail issue - but who knows.
I spent 2.5 hours of quality time with the Genius bar this morning. We reinstalled Lion and after that the suggestion was to trash and re-install Aperture, but that would require my disc and of coruse a trip home.   Mail doesn't seem to still have the issues with iPhone movies that it had - but Aperture is still not happy.
Did as instructed and dragged Aperture 3 to the trash, did the empty trash option, restarted and reinstalled.   Then did a software update to catch the new update for Aperture and it found that.   Interestingly when I did start it up after that it DID NOT ask me for my key - so clearly some elements were left over.
Now upon retstarting Aperture 3 once again I find that I can still see my old movies (their thumbnails show up) but I still can't play them.   The new test movie is there but still generates the popup regarding it being an Unsupported Video Format.
And it's not just my iPhone.   Video sent via email from another iPhone can play as an attachment, or when dragged and dropped to the desktop, but once imported into Aperture is once again proclaimed to be an Unsupported Video Format.
Hoping someone out there knows how to resolve this....

For some reason it just started to work now. Have no idea what didn't work before.

HT4108 TV says unsupported video format

Im new to iPad and have been loving it so far. I bought the digital a/v adapter and have it plugged into my TV via HDMI cable. The TV says "unsupported video format." Tried fooling with the TV settings. Any ideas?

Strange "Unsupported Video Format" Behavior

Hi all;
I just bought my TV 2 days ago and made the set up as the manual said. It is connected to my Philips 1080p HDTV (42PFL7432D/37) via HDMI plus there's a PlayStation3 also connected via HDMI. There are no HDMI switchers as the TV has 3 HDMI ports.
Normally I turn on the HDMI source before the TV, but with my TV I get "+unsupported video format+" message using the HDMI cable. With component cables I have no problems so far.
Last night I was downloading a demo from the PlayStation Network and tried the TV and it was working (via HDMI) - no messages. Rented "+No Reservations+" and saw it with no problems.
For some reason if I want to use the TV via HDMI, I have to turn on the PS3 first, select it from the TV's menu, then from TV's menu again select the port to which the TV connects.
I have already contacted Philips via e-mail regarding this issue as I saw on their support page they where having the same problem with some DirectTV H20-100 satellite boxes connected to the TV via HDMI. Probably will have an answer in 24 hrs.
I've read a lot of threads posted here of people having issues with the update. I echo their voices.
Have anyone noticed this?
I'll keep you updated with Philip's response.

Hi David,
I called Philips' Customer Service and after a long conversation going over on what I've already tried, they decided to schedule a service appointment. The technician came over and told me he had the exact same problem with customer's 5... in. Philips TV. He took the unit with him because he has to disassemble the TV in order to get card's (I don't know if it is Video or HDMI) number as there are like 5 different ones.
For me it makes sense this is a faulty card issue because before calling customer service I connected the TV and the PS3 to another Philip TV I have (32PF9630A/37) using the HDMI ports and it worked fine.
I'm supposed to have the unit back this week. I'll keep you updated.
You might try calling Philips. They gave a service reference code that if they would like to have in order to track a "faulty card" shipment, I can give it to you.

"unsupported video format" - Aperture 3

After importing my iPhoto library into Aperture 3, many of my older mpeg video clips appear with an "unsupported video format" image. These same video clips play just fine within iPhoto. To make things worse, Aperture doesn't seem to offer any way to play the files with an external application, nor does it allow me to export or drag & drop the files to my desktop.
I'm hoping and assuming that this is some small glitch that will be corrected soon, but if by some chance it's not, I need to know now before I
1) decide whether to purchase Aperture 3 and
2) delete my old iPhoto library
What are the chances of getting an official answer from Apple before **** freezes over? I don't mean to sound bitter, but after waiting for 2 whole years for an Aperture update I'm more than a bit leery of Apple's level of support for the product.

"Here's the work around that I used:"
Thanks, that was really nice of you to provide this workaround. Unfortunately, I have dozens - maybe hundreds of these video clips scattered across hundreds of photo albums. So it would not be very practical to find, convert, edit metadata, and reimport all of these. That's just way too much trouble.
"No idea why Apple did not chose to support all formats. I thought that quicktime provided the video engine. "
I totally understand where this is coming from. Aperture doesn't just organize and play these files. It's letting you edit and embed them in slideshows, hence the higher standard. As I mentioned previously, I totally understand if I can't edit or create slideshows with these older files, but at the bare minimum I need Aperture to display their thumbnails, allow me to play them (external player ok), and allow me to drag and drop to copy them to the desktop or an external drive when desired.
I suspect they thought of this but decided against the inconsistent user experience some might encounter. I care more about keeping all my files together than about the inconsistent experience.
If they wanted to handle this elegantly, Aperture could display an incompatible file notice only when attempting to edit these...

Mac Mini G4 Unsupported Video Format DVI to HDMI 42 Phillips 1080P LCD TV

When connecting my Mac Mini G4 to my 42" Phillips 1080P LCD TV using a DVI to HDMI cable I get a message on the TV "Unsupported Video Format" message. I can connect my PowerBook G4 using the same cable and it connects great.
One thing I have noticed is when connecting my Mini via DVI cable to my 17" LCD monitor the screen is a fated red. But using a VGA cable the screen is fine. I don't know if this is having to do anything with the issue of connecting to my LCD TV.
Any suggestions?

Make sure the connections are good and tighten down the thumb screws on all connectors. If two monitors are giving problems with DVI, it could be there is a hardware problem with the DVI port on the mini.
Also, try starting in Safe mode (boot while holding down the shift key) and see if you get a useable screen in that case. If you still get the unsupported video format message, then that would further suggest some hardware problem with DVI.

It requires the Canon Hacker's Developement Kit (CHDK). It runs off of your SD card and does not harm your camera. Download a program called Stick-

Follow the directions and you will be able to shoot in RAW along with some other deatures not available on your camera previously.

Unsupported Video Format

I have 3.1.3 version of Aperture and am running Lion. Since the upgrade movies I shoot on the iPhone are showing in Aperture as "Unsupported Video Format" and I cannot view them.
Sure one would think that and Apple phone and Apple software would work properly on an Apple computer.
I have an iMac 3.3ghz with 4mb ram

Yep I also fixed the problem by uninstalling 3ivx.
See: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15714152#15714152
Basically remove the 3ivx component from /Library/Quicktime then restart the machine. Recently imported movies from my iPhone had to be reimported to work, but after these steps the movies are working normally again!
The annoying part was that I needed to delete the videos and re-import into Aperture to get them to play.
Everything seems to work OK now.

Apple developer notes on video format for iPod, Apple TV and iPhone

I have been doing a bit of searching on information for converting video for the Apple TV and came across this web-page which contains technical information of converting video for the iPod, Apple TV and iPhone.
If you are after information on bitrates, b-frames, levels, profiles, low-complexity, etc. then this may help:
http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2007/tn2188.html
What is interesting to note, whilst 5Mbps is the maximum bitrate, the Apple TV supports spikes up to 12Mbps.
Happy reading and please feel free to add more links to useful information on the video format for the Apple TV.

I have downloaded the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - Trailer #2 .mov file and this streams quite happily on the Apple TV. This has a total bitrate of 6505Kbps and an audio bitrate of 192Kbps @ 48KHz and video 23.98fps @ 1280x544.
So, according to the Apple TV spec., the audio is well above 160Kbps and the video bitrate is well above 5Mbps. So why does it play at all on the Apple TV let alone stream without stuttering? Maybe its because the video height is 544 rather than the full 720, but why does the Apple TV get to see it?
I don't know the answers, just offering this as an example of a video that is freely available for anyone to try out which clearly exceeds some of the maximum specs for the Apple TV.
Has anyone found or got anything that beats this?

I am trying to download a video from My canon T2i. The download says "unsupported format". Any help?

I get an error message saying "unsupported vidoe format" when trying to download a video taken on my Canon T2i. Any way to correct this?

Did you happen to install the 3ivx codec on your Mac? Check the ApertureExpert.com forum for an existing question on this.

Waveform IRE Level Over 100 on Sony A77 but not for Canon T2i

Why does the Sony A77 have a white IRE level over 100 while the Canon T2i max out at 100? You can view this larger if you like so you can see the graph better, http://www.flickr.com/photos/davedugdale/6326846722/.
On my Canon I have highlight tone priority turned off and Auto lighting optimizer turned off as well. Also on both camera I have them set to a neutral picture style and the lowest contrast setting.
I am trying to do a test on which camera can hold the highlights better.
As you can see I matched the skin tone levels on the left by changing the camera settings to match each other so I could see what would happen on the right side where I drew a tree that is heavily back lite.
But it is hard to draw any conclusions when the Sony is "cheating" with higher IRE levels.
I wonder if it has to do with the color space? I don't think so because both are using the sRGB color space.
No transcoding was done to any of the clips dragged on to the timeline. Just "raw" files from the cameras.
The Sony A77 creates AVCHD Video (.MTS) files while the Canon T2i creates MOV video (.MOV) files.
What is interesting is if I use the same clips in Sony Vegas Pro 9, the Waveforms match at 110 IRE. Something wrong with Premiere?
Sony A77 on the left and Canon T2i on the right.

What PPro CS5 preset do you use for Canon T2i/550D footage?

When editing Canon T2i (or 550D) footage what Premiere Pro CS5 preset is the best to use: the Canon XF MPEG2 or the Digital SLR presets?
I've just speant an hour on the net searching for this info and found conflicting opinions so I'm hoping some CS5/T2i users see this and will respond with what they use and why. Thanks!

Note that while this technically does work, it will create a sequence using the Desktop editing mode; Premiere Pro CS5 has a specific DSLR editing mode, and that is what is used when you manually select the appropriate DSLR preset. It's really not a big deal--you can edit DSLR footage (and any other footage, for that matter) in any sequence preset you like, so go with whatever method suits you. Personally, I like to choose the specific sequence preset that matches my footage, instead of relying on the guesswork on the New Item button--for example, this process does not correctly read SD or HD video from Panasonic P2 cards in MXF format.
YMMV...
