I need to know how best to import .mod files into elements 7

Are you working with .mod standard or widescreen?
If .mod standard, less problematic. The file just might import without issue. Worst case would probably be changing the file extension from .mod to .mpg just prior to import.
Now .mod widescreen is another story that revolves around maintaining the 16:9 flag that scretches the video for display after encoding. Some have said that the 16:9 flag is lost in the transfer to computer; some say certain editors such as Premiere Elements just cannot read/recognize the flag. Whatever the case this is what you should consider in your Premiere Elements 7 Windows.
a. If you need to rename the file extension from .mod to .mpg, do so prior to import.
b. Import the .mod or .mpg counterpart into your Premiere Elements 7 project using the project preset NTSC or PAL DV Widescreen (NTSC or PAL depends on your location of interest). You will probably see that the video does not fill the space in the Edit Mode Monitor (you will probably see standard 4:3 looking image rather than widescreen 16:9 looking image).
c. Right click the file in the Project media area, select Interpret Footage, and, in the Interpret Footage Dialog/Pixel Aspect Ratio section, dot the Conform To: and change the setting to
D1/DV NTSC Widescreen 16:9 (1.2)
or
D1/DV PAL Widescreen 16:9 (1.422)
depending on your location of interest.
A while back there used to be a program called SD Copy that did the job of file name change and adding the 16:9 flag prior to import of the .mod widescreen into Premiere Elements. But, I have lost track of the SD Copy and suspect that is it no longer available. I have dealt with this issue many times at a forum that I formerly frequent. Most have reported back that this workaround worked for them. It is worth a try. I am looking forward to your results.
If you do opt to upgrade to Premiere Elements 11 Windows (please go tryout before purchase), I am eager to learn how your .mod widescreen is handled by version 11 in your computer environment.
Thanks.

Add On...I just came across this download for SDCopy. It does not give the appearance of the original the link to which is broken. I have not downloaded and used the following since I do not have any .mod widescreen. So, no guarantees. Please let us know the outcome if you try it if Interpret Footage does not work for you.

Time Machine is a back up you have to set up to back up before there is a problem like a hard drive failure.
It is possible to recover files from a failed drive, but it is an expensive proposition.
There is a faint hope that an app like Disk Warrior or TechTool Pro might repair the drive. You could try making an appointment at an Apple store and ask a technician there to take a look... the diagnosis will not cost you.

You might want to look at this one too. Very easy to use and it doesn't require the Apple MPEG-2 playback component.

How can i import mpeg files into iMovie?

how can i import mpeg files into iMovie?

Where are your MPEG stored?
I have hundreds of old MPEGs stored in my nexternal drive, but unfortunatly i was not able import them into iMovie. I did the following trick: I created a new set of a folder and subfolder and called it "Virtual_CAM/DCIM" and saved it on my desktop. Then went to Disk Utilities>File Menue>New>Disk Image from Folder. Then selected the folder on my desktop and clicked enter. I moved the .dmg file to my external (or just keep it on your desktop). I clicked on the .dmg file. It shoud be visible on the Finder. Open your Imovie and import as you do from your camera.

This is just a hunch - are they AVCHD? What type of camera/camcorder are they from?

There are many more hits if you do a search in the forums on those.
If they are not, then post back with camera info including what it says in the specs about the file forumat it shoots video in.

How can I import a file into my Windows Phone 8.1RT App?

Hi All,
I'm running into a bit of an issue associating my app with a custom file type. Users create a file using my app and upload it to their OneDrive for sharing. So I then want to give the users the ability to download the file from a share link and
have that file open automatically in my app. I've got the appropriate declarations set and file type associations, but I'm getting a file access exception when I try to open the file. Whats the best way to import a file into my app? Here's
the code I've got so far:
protected override async void OnFileActivated(FileActivatedEventArgs args)
var path = args.Files[0].Path;
var name = args.Files[0].Name;
StorageFile newFile = await StorageFile.GetFileFromPathAsync(path);
await newFile.CopyAsync(ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder, name.Substring(0, name.Length - 4));
The path comes back as
C:\Data\Users\DefApps\APPDATA\Local\Packages\microsoft.microsoftskydrive_8weke\LocalState\OpenWithTempFolder\e68c261-db3b-472d-a8b7-93427450\File Name.extension
and the exception is
Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))
Clearly I'm trying to access the file in an inappropriate way, so what's the best way to get the file into my app's local storage?

You have the StorageFile in arg.Files[0] already. Just use that rather than getting its path and then trying to create a new StorageFile from it.
var path = args.Files[0].Path; // <= Path is unnecessary and unhelpful
var name = args.Files[0].Name;
await args.Files[0].CopyAsync(ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder, name.Substring(0, name.Length - 4));
See my blog entry Skip the path: stick to the StorageFile for more details.

Automator-How to batch import txt files into excel

Hi
I have been using Automator to import hundreds of text files into one excel workbook using the "Import Text files to Excel Workbook" action. Automator works great for all files that are tab delimited. However I have another set of data that are output with a varying amount of spaces between each column. I cannot change the way they are output. Automator gives me the option of choosing "space" as a delimiter, but it wont give me the option to "Treat consecutive delimiters as one" that Import within excel does. I also tried to record my actions within excel many times but it didn't work even with just one file. So what I need is a way to get these text files into one excel workbook as separate worksheets with the data separated correctly into columns.
Any help would be great!

I'm confused by the "I cannot change the way they are output" line: What's stopping you from reimporting them into excel and resaving them as tab delimited? Converting from fixed-format to tab-delimited is always a bit of a pain (it involves chunking each line to the correct sized bits and then stripping whitespace from the end - doable in applescript and shell scripting, but a headache to get right); no sense remaking the wheel if you can get Excel to do it for you.

MPEG Streamclip and the MPEG-2 Playback Component should work to demultiplex and convert VOB files. The Help menu in MPEG Streamclip should have complete instructions. You could also look into DVDxDV or Cinematize.

How best to import .mod/.moi video files easily into FCP?

We are struggling to import video off a SD card into either iMovie or Final Cut Pro. How do we this easily?

.mod is a MPEG Program Stream container for standard def MPEG2 video files.
.moi is a management system for playing back those files and does not contain any video.
More: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOD_and_TOD_(video_format)
You can probably convert the .mod files to an editable format like ProRes LT with MPEG Streamclip Even if that software cannot process these particular files, it is a very useful tool to have around for lots of other reasons. It is also free so you have nothing to lose.
MPEG Streamclip tutorials: Convert Video For Use In Final Cut Pro, pt. 1 Convert Video For Use In Final Cut Pro, pt. 2 In this case, part 2 is the article which will be of most use to you.

How can I import eex files into Applications EUL from the unix command line

How can I import *.eex and *.dis files into an Applications EUL from the unix command line?
Thanks

Hi
The simple answer is you either have to use the client tool DIS51ADM to import files using the command line (Discoverer Admin is a windows only client tool), or the Java command line which needs a browser.
In theory if you have a browser running on your Unix box you may be able to use the Java command line to make this work.
Best wishes
Michael
