Probably the cheapest, quickest way to get those disks into a format that iMovie can edit is to 'rip' them using Handbrake . It's a free program and will allow you convert the videos on the disks to a .mp4 file. These .mp4 video clips can then be imported into iMovie.
An alternate method that will require you to spend some money is to purchase the QuickTime MPEG-2 Component from the Apple Store. Then download MPEG Streamclip which is free. With both of those pieces you can convert the whole disk into a format called Apple Intermediate Codec which iMovie '08, iMovie '09 and iMovie '11 use as their native editing format. The quality of the resulting video will be a little better going through the MPEG Streamclip route rather than converting using Handbrake. But use your best judgement, you don't have to spend any money to get the video working in iMovie, that's for sure.

  • My speakers to my iPhone 3 just shut off this morning nothing will play through it I don't know if this is the right place to ask the question but what should I do

    I Don't know what to do about my speakers they shut off for no reason

    Hello Brandon,
    I would be concerned too if my speakers were not working on my iPhone.  I found an article that has steps to troubleshoot this issue:

    There is no apparent way to upload the screenshot so I did not. Not a very intuitive site.

  • "You did not answer this question completely" warning

    Hi All,
    Sorry for bombarding the forum of late.
    I have another issue coming up on this current piece. I have
    a set of questions that are able to be answered in a random order
    through a grid type layout. A little like jeopardy. The problem
    hapens like this: when the learner clicks on the initial Q they
    jump to the appropriate slide and answer the question no problem,
    and once answered, they jump back to the question grid. This works
    fine, unfortunately, when they click the next question they jump ok
    but the question displays an error "you did not answer this
    question correctly" and they can't click the choices. I believe i
    checked and unchecked all the appropriate places, but I am not
    sure.
    Any advice would be great.
    Regards,
    Ryan

    Have you configured your Quiz Settings to allow backward
    movement? That's required when the user is not moving forward
    linearly.
    You should also play with the options in the Required
    dropdown in the Quiz Settings until things work as desired. That
    seems to control whether Captivate lets you jump over questions or
    not, as your random access scheme would require.
    I imagine it needs to be set to "Optional - the user can skip
    this quiz" but there may be another setting that also works for
    your needs.
    Cheers,
    John

  • I want to use my apple TV as a second monitor not a mirrored one, in other words, I want to use my TV as a second screen not a copy of my first screen,other people have asked this question but have been given mirroring answers. I want a second display.

    I want to use my apple TV as a second monitor not a mirrored one, in other words, I want to use my TV as a second screen not a copy of my first screen,other people have asked this question but have been given mirroring answers so I am spelling it out here very specifically. I want a second display. This should be possible and would be awesome. Anyone know how to do this?

    Nevermind I just installed it to try it and it's awesome, so happy right now, Thanks. All the things I had read about it on third party sites led me to believe it could not do extended desk tops, thanks for your help!

  • Can't update the flashplayer becasue it states I need to close firefox? Not sure why, I have an updated version of flashplayer but when I go in through firefox it tells me I need to update it, but won't because I am in firefox.

    You must close Firefox to install the update after it is saved to your hard drive. Follow the instructions below.
    There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash. Both must be installed and updated on Windows systems. In Firefox it would show as Shockwave Flash in your plug-ins, if you had it installed.
    *an ActiveX version for IE only
    *a plug-in version for Firefox and most other browsers
    #'''Install or Update the [[Managing the Flash plugin|Flash]] plugin''' to the latest version.
    #*Download and SAVE to your Desktop so you can find the installer later
    #*If you do not have the current version, click on the "Player Download Center" link on the "'''Download and information'''" or "'''Download Manual installers'''" below
    #*After download is complete, exit Firefox
    #*Click on the installer you just downloaded and install
    #**Windows 7 and Vista: may need to right-click the installer and choose "Run as Administrator"
    #*Start Firefox and check your version again or test the installation by going back to the download link below

  • I want to ask a question but is it supposed to go in this "Ask Your Question" field or should this really be a synopsis or a tersely worded teaser, like a "subject" line?

    Oh.
    When I pushed the "Ask your question of the community" I got this empty box. But I've already asked my question. Should I copy and paste it into this box?
    > I want to ask a question but is it supposed to go in this "Ask Your Question" field or should this really be a synopsis or a tersely worded teaser, like a "subject" line?<
    There. Now I have asked the same question, which is of questionable value, for sure, twice. So, if someone answers it, they will get twice the points. Right? Or is there another box for that? Should I paste the question into another box? Twice? 
    I've been around here for a l-o-n-g time, longer than ol' BenB by several years, so you'd think I'd know better.
    Maybe I do.

  • I just upgraded my iPad from 4.3.3 to the newest - I think 6.1.3.  I cannot find my photos and videos.  I tried a restore, but after 3 hours, it's timing out.  Pardon my ignorance on asking this question; but is there a way to find my photos?

    I just upgraded my iPad from 4.3.3 to the newest - I think 6.1.3.  I cannot find my photos and videos.  I tried a restore, but after 3 hours, it's timing out.  Pardon my ignorance on asking this question; but is there a way to find my photos?  I do nto care about anythign else.
    Here are the steps I though I took this morning:
    Backup iPad
    Connect to iTunes and downlaod newest version of iTunes and then newest iOS
    restart Vista Laptop
    upgrade to newest iOS
    I knew somethign was wrong when it took about 6 hours to upgrade the iPad
    at the end it errored with this message error (-50), but the upgrade worked
    I was expecting to see all my photos but didn't see them
    I have tried a restore to a back up 2 times.  The first time took 3 hours and just sort of timed out - it kept saying that there was an hour to go
    I tried it again 2 hours ago and same message.
    They are very valuable to me and so now I am panicking
    Your help is much appreciated

    Hi Eric Ferguson,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • Anyone know how to remove Overdrive books from my iphone that have been transferred from my computer? They do not show up on itunes. I see a lot of answers to this question but they all are based on being able to see the books in iTunes.

    How do I remove Overdrive books from the library that were downloaded onto my computer then transferred to my iphone? The problem is that they do not show up in iTunes.
    I see this question asked a lot when I google, but they always give answers that assumes you can find the books in iTunes either under the books tab, or the audio books tab or in the music. They do not show up anywhere for me. They do not remove from the app like the ones I downloaded directly onto my iphone.the related archived article does not answer it either.  I even asked a guy working at an apple store and he could not help either.   Anybody...?
    Thanks!

  • Swapped my iPad  to new air.   Can not get iTunes audio books I bought  tried not on this iPad but no luck

    Swapped my iPad to new air iPad.  Now can't find audio books I bought from iTunes.  Tried not on this iPad no luck

    I've been having this problem too, but here's the catch: originally it was only with my dad, and only sometimes.  Now it's dad and husband, every time!  Pix go through, via imessage, to everyone else, and they go through to dad/husband if I "send as text" after it fails. 
    And the other annoying thing- the blue bar will run all the way, and it will say "delivered".  So I close out of imessage. When I reopen it again, the "delivered" has changed to "not delivered" with the red exclamation point.  I just googled "imessage not sending photos" and founds TONS of people with the same problem, but no solutions.  (I have rebooted phone, reset network settings, with no luck.  I even had to backup/delete/restore my whole phone the other day for a different reason, and hoped that would fix it, but now it won't send to my dad OR my husband (who is on not just the same carrier, but the same family plan as me)

  • The platform does not support this application, but does under other account

    Okay the MSI Gaming App works just fine under my own account on my PC on which I am the administrator. So it isn't a driver related issue.
    Last week I created a second account for my son as he also like to play some games but I dont want him messing up my account.
    I wanted to start the MSI Gaming App on his account as my son was going to play a more graphic demanding game but the MSI Gaming App is only giving me the warning: the platform does not support this application.
    I checked the Security and Permissions for Authentication they all set like they should which works fine for other software and applications.
    Even when I try to run the app as administrator it keeps coming back with this warning.
    Anyone got clue why? Maybe I'm overlooking something obvious but till now I still didn't get the MSI Gaming App to run like it should. Some help please.

    1. What's your App version?
    2. What's the mobo/vga/specs of your son's pc?
    First of all thanks for the replies and future replies.
    1.
    Version 1.0.0.18
    2.
    My sons has his own profile/account on my pc so the hardware config and installed drivers are exact the same. And on my profile the App is working fine. So it has nothing to do with mobo/drivers/vga/specs. I already had installed the App before I created his own profile. As administrator I added all the needed permissions to the MSIGamingApp Properties Security Tab. Like I did with all other software he is running on his profile and which are working just fine. For example Teamspeak, Mumble, Several games, MSOffice and so on. I even set the Permissions to Full Control like on my Administrator profile. At the Permission Entry for MSIGamingApp I let the permissions be inherited from the parent object my administrator profile.
    If I would re-install and if during the installation windows would ask for whom the software should be accessible. I only would let Windows do exact the same as I did as administrator in the App Properties Security Tab. That the nice thing about being an admin. Create profile, set permissions and let users on your pc or network access software and applications already installed on the network. So that is why I find it weird this doesnt work.
    Also running the MSIGamingApp as Administrator on his profile gives the exact same warning.
    I do know how to add permissions to the security tab have been doing that several years for some job I had once.
    I could use Afterburner maybe but I don't trust him yet with making changes in Afterburner.
    The MSIGamingApp gives just enough controls OC-Gaming-Silent mode.
    And in case of trying a re-install of the App anyone got an url for a new version?
    Might have found it but it isn't on any MSI webpage.
    I did found something on Guru3D but I'm not aloud to post external links.
    Did found a url linking to a Torrent side but my Bullguard AV blocked this site instantly.
    So a clean url would be nice so to say.
    So weird I cant find this software on http://nl.msi.com/search/MSIGamingApp/product/1 or any other MSI site

  • Please do NOT answer this question (so urgent it hurts)

    Why do so many people resurrect threads that have been dead for several months or years to post redundant (at the best of times) and wrong (at the worst) answers?
    Why do people keep posting in the forum that shall not be named because it will attract the flies like carrion if it is named? And why do people keep resurrecting ramsci's thread in there?

    #1 - I am a contrarian ... at least for the moment ... and so I am answering you question.
    #2. It's not one question, but several - so get it right, ok? ;-P
    #3. WHY!!!??? ... always with the WHY!
    Why do people hate each other is a more important question I should think ... and no, that has nothing to do with you - I was not addressing that to you with reference to your question/s.
