I can not edit video from my new DVD Camcorder...

I recently purchased a Canon DC210 in hopes of learning to edit the movies I make with it before taking my honeymoon to Alaska in May, but I am not able to import the video from the disks. Is iDVD capable of doing what I am wanting to do i.e.. import, arrange, and edit scenes from the mini DVDs?

Unless I am missing something the list actually skips over my Model Number (Canon DC210)? I am still not seeing anything that tells me that '08 is going to solve any of my problems. I currently have iDVD 6.0.4 and it doesn't seem to have the capabilities I need. I don't think I am going to invest in another piece of software if I am not able to find something that specifically says it will work with my camera or media type.
Can you point me some where that does actually say it will?

Can't import video from canon mini dvd camcorder to imovie

I'm having problems importing my videos into imovie. i have a canon mini dvd camcorder. The camera only has a usb cord to move the videos. When i connect camcorder to computer idvd opens up and i can watch videos, but i can't import to imovie. This has been very frustrating. Can anyone help me with this problem. Hopefully i won't have to buy a new camcorder.

Hi f
Very good advices from Sue ! (Hi Sue !)
Karsten has collected it like this:
Hi
A. don't put a mini DVD into Your iMac. You need a trayloaded DVD to do this.
B. Read what Karsten collected:
DVD back to iMovie:
.. and here the complete 'full 9 yards' ... :
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3822853&#3822853
DVDs are in a socalled delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and
made for any processing as editing... or, as honorable forum member
QuicktimeKirk stated: I use the analogy of the old Polaroid
"instant" cameras. Push the button, wait for the print to develop and
show it off. ..
for using the iLife apps, you have to convert'em first, in
recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds:
• DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
• Apple mpeg2 plugin (19$) + Streamclip (free)
• VisualHub (23.32$)
• Cinematize >60$
• Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
• Toast 6/7/8 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
• Drop2DV (free) a free tool claiming to convert DVDs into dv-stream...
• Use iSquint for your conversions : www.iSquint.org

none of these apps override copyprotection mechanisms as on commercial dvds...

ImageJ in Yosemite can not import video from QuickTime plugin

ImageJ in Yosemite can not import video from QuickTime plugin.... it seems can not found QuickTime_Capture.jar within QuickTime_Plugins.jar but I'm sure it is in the plugin directory.
I google this problem but not luck!

Thank you Benjt and Sue:
I have first chosen to followed Sue's suggestion concerning the firewire connections since that looked to be the one most easily done quickly. I therefore had to make more room on the hard drive in my MacBook Pro since the drive is only 100 GB. I normally use an external 400GB drive to hold my video files since one of the plays last May required about 200GB! However, the play this time was a short one and not really High Density anyway like the one was in May with a much finer camera. I have been connecting the external HD via Firewire800.
I simply moved a number of files from my MacBook Pro drive and put them in the external HD as well as another HD and then disconnected the external HD from my MacBook. I was, indeed, able to import the entire tape in one shot into iMovie. iMovie is still not working right since I found that I had to click "import" in iMovie to start collecting a clip and then hit "play" on my camcorder to actually import the tape contents into the clip. I found the whole play, just 50 min this time, in that clip when we returned home this evening.
I can now get the editing done one their last play for the kids and have DVDs for them when I go back up to Gainesville to record their current play on Thursday evening.
I will then devote some time to trying to solve the rest of the problem, looking into Benjt's suggestions.
Thanks very much for your very timely critical and positive help this afternoon. For your information, I also have been working on learning Final Cut Express but as I tried to put all of my reading into practice, I now I can't even get FCE to open - but that's another story and a very different problem.
Thanks again.

I downloaded the newest version of camera raw for LR. I have LR4 and can not import photos from my new Nikon D750. The download said it was sucessful but I still can not import photos.

Lightroom doesn't use the Camera Raw plug-in. So downloading the latest Camera Raw didn't do anything at all for you. The only way to update or upgrade Lightroom is to obtain the latest version. If you have Lightroom 4 then the last version of Lightroom you can have at no additional cost is Lightroom 4.4.1. If the camera you are using requires anything newer than what is supported and that version of Lightroom then it will require an upgrade to Lightroom 5.

I can not transfer video from my sony handycam DCR-HC36 to ivideo in imac

I can not transfer video from my sony handycam DCR-HC36 to ivideo in imac. Help! THANK-YOU!!

Take both back to the salesman in the store and ask him to show you how it works, or, if he can't, then maybe you want to make an exchange or return. Unfortunately, it appears that the salesperson didn't look carefully enough at the camera specs to realize that the MacBook doesn't have the video input needed. You can capture the audio from the camera through the MacBook audio line-in, but that's about it.
You need some kind of USB TV/tuner input device that has the plugs needed to connect to the camera and import the video into the MacBook. Cameras with FW ports allow direct uploading of the digital video to the computer.
An external DVD drive that can load the miniDVD's in its tray is another possibility.

I can not import videos from my camera or open them... quits finder

So i have a canon powershot SD300 and I can't import videos from it using I photo (the program quits)... so I used the camera software and when I go to click on it to show review, or try and open the video files (avi-quicktime) my finder quits! What's up with that? I have added an Xvid update so I could run Xvid files... I don't know if that would do anthing. Can anyone help?

JordanFox,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Your friend is correct; iPhoto 2 does not handle video files. You'll need at least iPhoto 5 to keep videos in your library. There is no other way to get it than to purchase a copy of iLife, either version 5 or version 6. Upgrades from one version to another cost money, updates within a version (ex; 6.0 to 6.0.6) are free downloads from Apple.
Try using Image Capture (in your Applications folder) to upload the video clips to your Mac. You can manage them yourself in your Movies folder.
Regards.

Can not download videos from Panasonic ZS20

Running iPhoto 8.1.2 ('09) on Lion. Imports photos OK from Panasonic-ZS20, but will not retrieve video clips from camera.

That camera shoots AVCHD, which is a format designed for people who want to edit video, so you really should be bringing that into iMovie.
Or, the most recent versions of iPhoto 11 has limited AVCHD support.

TS3899 I can not send email from my new iphone 4s. I keep getting message 'set password for msn' acct.

Why can't I send email from my new 4S? Message keeps telling me--enter password in settings..
And where do I find my 'operating system'. (ie 5.0.1 etc)

I have a 1st gen iPhone that I just updated the software to 2.0.2
Now whenever I press the mail icon it goes to the mail app for about 4 seconds, does nothing, no loading of folders, old messages, nothing.
Then it reverts back to the home screen. Tried restarting, haven't tried restoring, thought I'd look here first.
Anyone???

I can not transfer videos from my SD to iPhoto

I cannot transfer the videos from my digital camera to iPhoto, only the photos. My partner's got the same mac and iPhoto recognize the videos on his computer.

Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Import Video from Canon DC330 DVD Camcorder to Final Cut Express

Does anyone know how this can be done? And how to do it.
Thanks,
Peter

Your camcorder records to miniDVD disks. There are three possible ways to import it to FCE.
1 - if you have a Mac with a tray-loading DVD drive, you can use MPEG Streamclip to convert the DVD video to QuickTime in order to import it into FCE. The DVD disk must be finalized in your camcorder first. And you cannot put a miniDVD disk in a slot-loading drive such as on the MacBook, MacBookPro, iMac - don't try it, the disk will get irretrievably stuck in the drive.
2 - the camera has a USB port and if it's possible to connect & copy the contents of a DVD that is in the camera to your Mac's hard drive, you can also use MPEG Streamclip to convert the video for use in FCE.
MPEG Streamclip is a free utility. You will also need the QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component if you do not already have it on your Mac. You can download it from the Apple Online Store ($19.99)
3 - The only other alternative is to connect the composite video & audio outputs of your camcorder to an analog-digital converter (like the Canopus ADVC-110 ) so you can capture the video in FCE while it plays back in your camcorder. In this case you do not need MPEG Streamclip or the Quicktime MPEG2 playback component.

Can not xfer videos FROM 3gs

Hi All,
I am having some major issues trying to get a video off of my 3gs to my computer(s).
I am on a Windows XP machine and every time I use the scanner and camera wizard it tells me "The current picture could not be copied." It (the scanner and camera wizard) then asks me to Try Again or cancel. Trying again does nothing.
This happens on two different machines.
Does anyone have any advice? The video is too large to email and I would rather not part with it.
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried just going into "My Computer" and see if you can see the iPhone as a camera? Just cancel the scanner and camera wizard. From there, just doubleclick on the iPhone, you should see any pics and/or video in the iPhone. From there, just click and drag the video to the desktop. See if that helps.

I can not stream video from Ipad to apple TV!

Hi
I have Ipad with iOS4.2 and I am able to stream audio from my ipad such as youtube, itunes but the video no luck any help please?
see the image : http://www9.0zz0.com/2010/11/07/22/143518425.png

No, if you can't get it to work with the developer iOS 4.2 for iPad, you should file a bug report on Apple's developer site. The one they distributed is supposed to be the "Gold Master," so the released version will probably be the same.

I have given up on Mozilla to solve my problem which is I can not view videos from any website. I have lost my patience with so called fixes that do not work .

continued, so I have removed Mozilla from my pc and will not return until you fix this problem, so Goodbye from rxman 1975

Okay, goodbye. For cross-reference, here's your earlier thread: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/965903
