I have captured a VHS movie from a VCR to my Mac. I used a Roxie program and it said "capture to IMovie". I said yes. It shows in my events with a green asterisks but it is not showing up in iMovie, It is in my doc but won't go into iMovie. Why?

Question

I used a Roxie program to bring in my video from VHS.  I know it's in my computer and when I right click in the event in IMovie and click "capture movie, a screen comes up showing it but it won't capture it and bring it into IMovie. What am I doing wrong

Answer 1

Firefox can find plugins in several locations, but Firefox 21 changed the location of the "shared" plugin folder so older installers like the Microsoft Windows Media Plugin no longer drop the DLL file in the correct location.
There apparently are two ways to address this:
(1) Change a Firefox preference so that Firefox checks the old location. Here's how:
(i) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(ii) In the filter box, type or paste '''plugins''' and pause while the list is filtered
(iii) Double-click '''plugins.load_appdir_plugins''' to switch its value from false to true.
This will take effect after you restart Firefox.
(2) Copy the plugins folder to the new location. Here's how on Win 7 64-bit:
Open a Windows Explorer window to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
Right-click and copy the '''Plugins''' folder
Double-click the '''browser''' folder to open it
Right-click and paste
Right-click the new copy of '''Plugins''' and rename it to '''plugins'''
After restarting Firefox, the plugins in that folder should now be available.
