Idvd and imovie movie files won't show up in imovie

i imported several movie clips from my nikon coolpix camera.They are in iphoto and play fine in quicktime,but only one shows up in imovie so i can't do anything with them,Also i mad a complete movie with idvd with photos and mov clips.It plays perfecly on my computer but it won't burn to dvd-r disc.It goes through the whole process then shows the error "error during movie encoding"I've tried many times and even tried using only one or two movies.
Help!

This continues to get crazier by the minute!  I completely deleted the event mentioned above and started from scratch.  Impoerted a few clips into this new event and most played properly...but only for a few minutes!  I got a call and afterward when I attempted to play clips in the timeline that had just played a minute ago there is now nothing happening!
Here's what they look like on the screen:
Some of them show an audio waveform but most do not.  Does ANYONE have any idea what to do here????
I'm dead in the water!!!!!!!!
Here's my timeline:
Just a minute prior to taking this shot the all played perfectly and then they were gone!

  • IPhoto mov files do not show up in iMovie

    Hi there,
    I know that there are similar cases discussed in this forum, but mine is slightly different, I think...
    Within iPhoto I have imported various mov videos, but they never showed in iMovie while using iLive 09. After the appStore opened up, I upgraded first only iMovie to iMovie '11.
    After this update suddenly all my iPhoto '09 videos showed up in iMovie... that was a positive surprise
    After a couple of weeks, I had enough courage to upgrade iPhoto as well (which was not as effortlessly as it seemed at first, but not as bad as some did experience)
    After this, again none of my still existing mov videos from iPhoto do now show up in iMovie.....
    How is that possible?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    I have a similar problem. I recorded 15 screen captures in MOV format and added them to iPhoto. Only 9 show up in iMovie. I'd love to hear a solution to this problem.

  • .mov files won't playback in quicktime 7.2 after archive and install

    I just did an archive and install, because I was having a few problems with the Safari beta.
    However since doing so it has been a complete nightmare. So many things stopped working. I'm guessing I had them installed on the system and not on my user.
    So now after getting most thing back up and running, .mov files won't play in quicktime 7.2 an annoying 3ivx pop up appears which leads to a dead link.
    So I checked the .mov format and they are 3ivx, but how do I install and from where do I get the codec??

    Perian
    http://perian.org/#detail
    It's free and most people use this to play off the wall codecs...3ivx.
    Please read the information on the web page on how to install and use. In the download there a help page.

  • Mov files won't sync /

    Ok - I just got my new classic and my .mov files won't sync.
    The videos are showing and playing in iTunes - but are "grayed out" on my iPod movie tab. (I can check the boxes, but they don't transfer/sync)
    Here's a screen capture of what I mean :

    I've tried resetting already.

    Figured it out - I wanted to "create an ipod version" of the video from the advanced tab in itunes - but couldn't do it until I had created an account at the itunes store.
    Once I'd created the account, the option became available.

  • How do I export my iMovie '11 video and burn it to a DVD? I've tried 'Share' - 'Media Browser', 'iDVD', and 'Export Movie' but always get an error message indicating that my movie is too long to publish. Thoughts?

    How do I export my iMovie '11 video and burn it to a DVD? I've tried 'Share' - 'Media Browser', 'iDVD', and 'Export Movie' but always get an error message indicating that my movie is too long to publish. Thoughts? Additionally, what does 'File' 'Finalize Project' do?

    Instead of Share to Media Browser, what happens if you try Share Menu > Export Movie... (choose Large size) and save it to the Desktop?
    If that fails try Share Menu > Export using QuickTime...
    Then pick Movie to QuickTime Movie, then click on Options... which is just to the right of Export
    Under the Video section click on Settings...
    Then in the pulldown menu at the top, titled Compression Type: Choose Apple Intermediate Codec. Then click OK. And click OK again, and save it to the desktop. Once the .mov file is created, you can import that into iDVD and most likely it will work in Wondershare Creator if you prefer to use that instead.

  • Hi everybody, I am trying to create a DVD pal without menu with the program iDVD from a .mov file. Any ideas? Thanks so much.

    Hi everybody, I am trying to create a DVD pal without menu with the program iDVD from a .mov file. Any ideas? Thanks so much.

    (From fellow poster Mishmumken: )
    How to create a DVD in iDVD without menu (there are several options):
    1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
    2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
    3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
    Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
    4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Roxio Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
    5. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
    Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
    • create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
    • Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
    • Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
    • Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
    • Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
    • Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
    • Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:
    http://lonestar.utsa.edu/llee/applescript/dvdimager.html
    Our resident expert, Old Toad, also recommends this: there is a 3rd export/share option that give better results.  That's to use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option.  Then in iDVD go to the Media Browser and drag the movie into iDVD where you want it.
    Hope this helps!

  • After a itunes update my HDV mov files won't play on my mac.

    I applied and update to my MacBook pro and BAM!! Now my HDV.mov files won't play with QuickTime or final cut pro. I'm in the middle of a project and I can't finish it because when the files play in fcp I get a error. Can anybody help me with this?

    I have two anserws I think might work for you. The first one is: This solved the issue down loading and re-installing Quicktime 7.5.5
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/blog/posts/using_pacifist_to_downgrade_quicktime .html
    I'd create a backup of the System / Components and Quicktime folders first though, just incase you need to revert back.
    and the 2nd one is:
    I HAVE A FIX...AND IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!  Actually a friend found this fix somewhere else, but I just did it and it worked.  The only rub is you need to have access to another system that has not been updated to iTunes 10.5 or QT 7.7.
    On the system that has not been updated, go to:
    MAC HD/System/Library/Components and copy that folder to an external drive...next go to
    MAC HD/System/Library/QuickTime and copy that folder to an external drive.
    On the system that is not working, go to the same places on the MAC HD and delete those two folders.  Then copy the folders from your external drive to the same location.  Restart you system...i did it twice...and everything should be back to normal.  This has worked on both systems here that were previously jacked up.  If you do not have access to a system that was not messed up, let me know and maybe we can swap files.
    I havent tried any of these yet because I'm in the middle of a project and I dont wnat anything to go wrong right now. After I'm done I will be sure to get started on one of these.
    If you try any one of these let me know how it works out.

  • Logic Pro x - additional content downloads and installs but it won't show up in my Logic Pro X. Where is the add'l content downloaded and how do I activate on Logic Pro X?

    The additional content downloads and installs, but it won't show up in my Logic Pro X. I cannot find the "Library" folder where this additional content is  downloaded to and can't seem to activate the new loops and instruments in my Logic Pro X (i.e. loops are still greyed out). Any solutions?

    similar problem that I'm hoping revives this thread. Took over 24hrs to dload additional content (after another full day for the actual problem) due to a bad dload rate. so quitted, and relocated closer to my wifi router. Restart, open logic x, Menu bar:  Logic Pro/ Download Additional content ...Tells me i have no internet connection.... Ahh... I do, I'm using it right now! Tried restarting and relaunching. same thing every time.
    Any clues?
    This whole apple upgrade has been so disappointing! All i wanted to do was reinstall logic 9! $2500 later and I'm still struggling. ***!

  • I cannot access Content Library in iMovie - Content Library doesn't show on the iMovie screen and is greyed out when accessed through "windows" tab at the top. Also unable to update the projects/events (a suggested solution for a similar question).

    I cannot access Content Library in iMovie - Content Library doesn't show on the iMovie screen and is greyed out when accessed through "windows" tab at the top. Also unable to update the projects/events (a suggested solution for a similar question). I haven't had this issue before, I have always used the content library on the screen but haven't used this for about a month. How can I make the Content Library available?

    Thanks so much! I am backing up the entire computer now with an external hard drive - this should be fine right? And surely if I am backing up the whole computer these projects/videos will be backed up too? I wasn't sure how to do this any other way and I am clearly not great with tech issues. Once this is done and I am sure my projects/videos are safe I will do the delete and reinstall bit. Thanks for taking the time to help
