  • Missing movie file

    I have created a movie in imovie. When I share it with idvd everything is fine and I can burn a dvd (the 1st time). The next time I try to open that dvd project I get a message saying "missing movie file clip 01.dv. Would you like to search for it?" I can't seem to find it anywhere. It says the dvd won't play properly with out it, then idvd usually ends up freezing up. That movie name isn't even part of my original movie. So everytime I want to make a change or burn another dvd of this project, I have to go back into imovie and export to idvd again.
    Please help!

    If you get a good first burn every time that you initially export your iMovie project to iDVD, try saving the iDVD as a disk image instead of burning a DVD disk. When you save as a disk image iDVD goes through the same encoding process as if you were burning to a DVD disk. Once you have burned a disk image you then can open and close the disk image multiple times to burn multiple DVD disks from the disk image, using Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility, without again going through the encoding process. So, if the first burn is good, all the other burns will be good.
    It is oft recommended to close iDVD and iMovie and trash the files named com.apple.iMovie.plist and com.apple.iDVD.plist. When you relaunch, the programs will replace those files with new ones. Then run a permissions repair using Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
    If you are storing your project on an external drive, make sure that the drive is formatted correctly. It should be Mac OSExtended or Mac OS Extended (journaled).
    Make sure that you have enough hard drive free space for iDVD to work. It takes at least 5GB of free disk space to burn a disk, and you should have more than that if possible.
    Did you actually look into your iMovie media folder to see if Clip 01.dv exists? Control click on your iMovie project icon and select Show Package Contents/Media. See if it's in there.
    I know that in iDVD5 (not sure about iDVD6) If you added an asset to your project, and then removed it and deleted it from your hard drive, iDVD would still think that that asset was in the project. Because it was deleted from the hard drive, iDVD wouldn't be able to find it and would report it as a missing asset. Maybe that's what is happening to you here. The solution then would be to retrieve that deleted asset and put it back on your hard drive so you can reinsert it into the project.
    Always a good idea to archive your iDVD project rather than just doing an ordinary save. Takes up more disk space, but an archive bundles all of the project assets with it so everything is intact if you move it off to an external drive or another computer. Otherwise, you can get broken links.
    Good luck with this.

  • Aspect ratio issues in iDVD with mov files exported from FCE

    Please help. I believe this is an iDVD bug. I have found some relevant discussion of it on online forums - but have not found a solution that works for me. I am looking for a workaround.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1356500&tstart=31
    PROBLEM STATEMENT:
    My 4:3 movies, exported from FCE in QT-with-conversion formats (any 4:3 format) - appear in iDVD with gray side-pillars (as expected for 4:3) AND with a black line (letter-boxing) at top and bottom - as would be for 16:9. It appears the aspect ratio is also distorted i.e. 16:9. (The iDVD project is set to 4:3.)
    1- A 4:3 mov file exported from FCE using Quicktime Movie format (no conversion) does not have the problem, but I cannot de-interlace the video using this export mode.
    2) A 4:3 mov file exported using QT-with-conversion mode (any 4:3 format) DOES have the problem. I need to use this mode in order to get de-interlace.
    (Exception: 640x480 VGA mode does not have the black lines, and it displays correctly in dvd player on my computer screen - but on the TV screen, it crops content from the top and bottom of the movie, so this is not an option.)
    3) In Finder, if you click on mov file exported QT-only (no conversion), it opens in the FCE viewer. If you click on mov file exported in any other 4:3 mode, it opens in Quicktime viewer (i.e. there is absolutely something different in the header/ID of these files.)
    4) All mov files, regardless of export mode, show correctly in Quicktime viewer - no black line, no distortion. The problem does not occur outside of iDvd.
    5) I tried passing the QT-with-conversion mov files through an Inverse-Anamorphicizer (per suggestion on forum - this apparently fixed the problem for some people) but the resulting output mov (i.e. the inverted product) still had the same problem.
    I am, so far, left with this trade-off: Give up the de-interlacing, or live with the letter-boxing/ distortion. Neither is acceptable.
    I am looking for a workaround:
    1) A way to export de-interlaced 4:3 mov from FCE that shows in correct ratio in iDVD
    2) A way to "convert" / re-head mov file after exported so that it displays corrrectly (inverse-anamorphicize) so that iDVD reads it correctly
    3) Can the mov be de-interlaced after the fact (so I could use QT export without conversion)?
    4) Something besides iDVD to put this together - that doesn't have this problem? (I like and want to use the iDVD menu/theme.)
    5) Other?????
    I also notice that all the QT-with-conversion mov files are 1/3 to 1/2 the size of the QT-only mov file, which is valuable and preferable to me. (I don't see any quality difference in the display...)

    In the Preview window > top frame > middle button
    do you have correct for pixel aspect ratio checked or not?

  • Missing movie files in iPhoto 08

    I have just noticed that in some of my events the movie is missing (the last six). In checking the finder I see that the actual file is missing too. The only changes I have made is to upgrade to snow leopard and I got a magic mouse. There are .mov files in other folder and the movie shows in the iPhoto. I noticed this because the magic mouse wont open the movie files in iPhoto.
    So I have two problems: One: where have my recent movies gone that were once iPhoto. (They are not in iMovie and I have checked Time Machine) and two: why wont my mouse open a movie in iPhoto.
    Any help will be great!

    When you Control-click on one of the missing movie's thumbnails and select Show File from the contextual menu what do you see?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • IDVD making movie files low res

    I made a slide show in iMovie, exported it as an HD file with no issues. I brought the file into iDVD to burn and now the file is showing up very low resolution. I've used this method many times before and this is the first time I've ran into problems. The original images are 9x14 w 300DPI. So I think it's a setting in iDVD. The movie file looks fine when I play it in iTunes or Quick Time. GRRRR

    Hi
    The original images are 9x14 w 300DPI. So I think it's a setting in iDVD.
    NO
    DVD is as Standard SD-Video - Any encoding program used. iDVD, DVD-Studio Pro or Roxio Toast™
    BUT
    The resulting DVD can be better or worse.
    Using
    • iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - Sends over every second line to iDVD - result is loss in quality
    (I use iMovie HD6 or FinalCut - as they deliver 100%)
    • Share to iDVD - I NEVER use this as it degrades movies especially if photos are used and NO Ken-Burns Effect.
    I Share to Media Browser and as LARGE - NOT HD or other resolution - in iDVD I import from Media
    (If I have to use iM'08 to 11 - else I Close iMovie and import movie project directly from within iDVD)
    My notes on DVD Quality
    DVD quality
    1. iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1)
       iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST
    • Best Performances (movies + menus  less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    About double on DL DVDs.
    2. Video from
    • FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov (not self-containing, no conversion)
    • iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
    when the movie includes photos. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
    • iMovie’08 not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
    3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly eg x1 (in iDVD’08 or 09  this can also be set)
    This can also be done with Apple’s Disk Utilities application.
    4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
    use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc).
    5. I use Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
    6. I use DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW)
    7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
    8. Don’t burn more than three DVD at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while before next batch.
    iDVD quality also depends on.
    • DVD is a standard in it self. It is Standard Definition Quality = Same as on old CRT-TV sets and can not
    deliver anything better that this.
    HD-DVD was a short-lived standard and it was only a few Toshiba DVD-players that could playback.
    These DVDs could be made in DVD-Studio Pro. But they don’t playback on any other standard DVD-layer.
    Blu-Ray / BD can be coded onto DVDs but limited in time to - about 20-30 minutes and then need
    _ Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro incl. BD-component
    _ BD disks and burner if full length movies are to be stored
    _ BD-Player or PlayStation3 - to be able to playback
    The BD-encoded DVDs can be play-backed IF Mac also have Roxio DVD-player tool. Not on any standard Mac or DVD-player
    Full BD-disks needs a BD-player (in Mac) as they need blue-laser to be read. No red-laser can do this.
    • HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx. 25Gb.
    less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
    • How it was recorded - Tripod vs Handheld Camera. A stable picture will give a much higher quality
    • Audio is most often more critical than picture. Bad audio and with dropouts usually results in a non-viewed movie.
    • Use of Video-editor. iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not the tools for DVD-production. They discard every second line resulting in a close to VHS-tape quality.
    iMovie 1 to HD6 and FinalCut any version delivers same quality as Camera record in = 100% to iDVD
    • What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
    other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
    Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
    strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
    Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
    • What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
    (If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JES_Deinterlacer_3.2.2 do the conversion)
    (Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
    (US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
    (EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
    UNLESS. They are play-backed by a Mac - then You need not to care
    • What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
    • How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
    Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
    Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
    Best / High Performances (most often my choice before Pro Quality)
    1. go to iDVD pref. menu and select tab far right and set burn speed to x1 (less errors = plays better) - only in iDVD 08 & 09
    (x4 by some and may be even better)
    2. Project info. Select Professional Encoding - only in iDVD 08 & 09.
    Region codes.
    iDVD - only burn Region = 0 - meaning - DVDs are playable everywhere
    DVD Studio pro can set Region codes.
    1 = US
    2 = EU

    What it turned out to be was the "quality" settings in iDVD. The total clip time was NOT over 2 hours or 4.7GB, yet iDVD created massive visual artifacts on the "professional quality" setting.
    I switched the settings to "high quality" which solved the problem. According iDVD help, "high quality" determines the best bit rate for the clips you have.
    I have NEVER seen iDVD do this before, especially when I was under the 2 hour and 4.7GB limits.
    For anyone else, there seem to be 2 places in iDVD to set quality settings, the first is under "preferences" and the second under "project info." They do NOT seem to be linked (i.e. if you change one, the other is NOT changed). take care, Mario
    TO GET IT TO WORK SLIGHTLY FASTER
    • Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up hard disk
    • No other programs running in BackGround eg Energy-Saver
    • Don’t let HD spin down or be turned off (in Energy-Save)
    • Move hard disks that are not to be used to Trash - To be disconnected/turned off
    • Goto Spotlight and set the rest of them under Integrity (not to be scanned)
    • Set screen-saver to a folder without any photo - then make an active corner (up right for me) and set
    pointer to this - turns on screen saver - to show that it has nothing to show

  • PDF is missing .mov files

    ID CS2, OS X 10.4.11
    31 page catalog with 10 interactive .mov links. They are not embedded as they a large. They appear to be properly linked. As I did each page I would Export the individual page and test that the .mov ran. OK. Now when I Export the entire catalog the .mov files can't be found. " cannot be found. The file may not be present."
    "Interactive Elements" is checked in the export dialog.
    What am I missing?
    Thank you.
    Bill

    The fine lined box is the outline of the "button" that is the movie prompt area.
    Are you triggering the movie by clicking the poster area for the movie itself? Or did you turn off the poster?
    Are you triggering the movie by clicking a button that plays the movie, or are you clicking the area for the movie.
    It's tricky to get rid of that fine line, but the best way to do it is to always prompt the movie by using a separate button.
    Also, you can get rid of the fine line by opening the PDF in Acrobat Pro and using the Tools> Advanced Editing (acrobat 8) and click the movie tool or going to Tools> Multimedia (acrobat 9) and choose the Video tool.
    Then select the movie area and under Actions delete the Action to play the movie on mouse up. That will prevent the movie area from prompting the movie and only let a button prompt the movie.
    And that will get rid of the line. (It's actually a lot easier to do than to write out. But you can't do it in InDesign.)

  • Idvd to movie file

    I am a teacher and I want to combine clips from different mvies to analyze in class. I don't want to burn a dvd but rather would like some sort of movie file, such as an .mp4 or .mov
    I find iMovie to be confusing and I can't make chapters, etc as easily as I can with iDVD, What should I do?
    Thanks!

    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    And from the TOU of these forums:

    If you are running Lion:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

  • Missing movie files in my project since iOS 8 and iCloud Photo Library

    Hello all,
    I've been to New York at the start of 2014 and created an awesome movie project in iMovie for iOS. That was when iOS 7.1.2 was the most current release. Today, I wanted to finish up my project. I'm currently running iMovie 2.1.1 on iPad air 1 running iOS 8.1.2 and iCloud Photo Library is enabled since day one. I Opened the project today and iMovie told me there are missing movies in the project and offered me to search for them. It only found 2 out of 140 or something. Now my project timeline is filled with clip with exclamation marks and many transitions with pictures in them are missing too. I tried to download clips that are in iCloud by tapping the Cloud icon but iMovie still cannot find them. Ive also tried importing from iCloud drive, disabling iCloud photo library and syncing the movies from iPhoto using iTunes on my iMac but iMovie cannot link them to the project. I'd hate to see hours of editing work to go down the drain.
    Hope someone can help.
    RF

    Ok, so sinc you turned iCloud photo library, that automatically delets all of your current photos. I found that out the hard way. I'm sorry to hear that your editing has gone to waste.   It is still odd that some media was saved though.

  • Missing CF Movie Files

    when I opened FCP 5.04 this morning a window appeared asking for missing movie file "CF-dvc appl-720x48010233017. After a search I discovered that it can be found in the "Constant Frame Folder" within the FCP Render folder/ In fact that every project generates those particular 'movie files'.- They seem to be responsible for the 'black/slug in each project', the background goes all green if they are missing. Unfortunateky I couldn't select them, they were all grey and after a series of clicks on 'cancel' FCP crashed and every time after that even a new project would ask for those files...
    How do I resolve this problem?

    Open up iTunes and go to where the video files are
    situated. Right click and click on Get Info, then
    look around the tabs (cant remember which one) and
    make sure that the movie file is not under 'Music
    Video' if it is change it to Movie File.
    Maybe I need to clarify,
    The video files are no longer in the "Video" folder of iTunes.
    They went missing altogether, until I found them in the "Music" folder.
    "Get Info" correctly identifies the files as mpeg-4 and will play correctly in Windows under QuickTime. However, playing the same file on the iPod starts up as music, with the some artwork.
    So far, I have downloaded http://www.yamipod.com/, copied the files to my hard drive. Now I will deleted them from my iPod and attempt re-add them as video.

  • Burning AVI movie files to DVD, whats the trick in iDVD?

    I have AVI movie files that I want to burn to a DVD. I am able to "import" the file and do all the extras with iDVD but I am unable to select chapters and when I try to preview the movie its just a blank screen. What am I missing?!

    Hi
    .avi is no Video Format/Codec - it is a container and can hold Codecs that iDVD can use or NOT
    • Open it in QuickTime Player
    • then open Inspector (cmd+I)
    • read - Video Format/Codec: nnnnnnnnn
    What does it read ?

  • Missing Render Files / Problem Exporting Quicktime Movie

    Everything was going great on my 21 minute project.
    I had exported it to iDVD via a Quicktime movie and it looked great in widescreen format. It worked perfectly.
    Now, for whatever reason, when I load my project, I get a message saying the Render Files are missing. I am unable to locate them anywhere. I had them stored along with my project on an external firewire 400 drive.
    So I press "continue" without finding the missing files.
    Now when I export my movie, it appears 4:3 with gray vertical bars on the side!
    When I view the project on the canvas, it looks perfect as 16:9. Everything looks normal in FCE.
    Did a render file get corrupted or something? Is there a way to delete all the "old" render files and tell Final Cut Express to re-render my entire new project? Would that solve my problem?
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    I did what you said and the "exported" file says:
    Kind: Final Cut Express Movie File
    Under More Info it says:
    720x480 Integer (Little Indian) Timecode
    Total Bit Rate: 30,313
    Why am I trying to export?
    Before I ran into trouble, I would export my FCE project using the Export Quicktime Movie command.
    I then used iDVD (set to 16:9) to burn to DVD.
    It worked perfectly before.
    But now, all of a sudden, the same project always shows up at 4:3, whether played in Quicktime or when burned to DVD using iDVD set to 16:9.
    The version of FCE is 4.0 and the version of Quicktime is 7.4.5
    Thank you again for trying to help me!

  • Voice Memo .mov files lost in iphone Limbo

    Hello.
    After doing some research it appears that:
    There is a bug with iphone (mine is 3g) that when voice memos are recorded they are recorded as .mov files, and then converted to .m4a.
    I assume this is because .m4a is a more complex algorithm and the little iphone processor can only record .mov on the fly.
    The issue is that if the iphone is interrupted in this process, you will have a voice memo that goes for 0 seconds and a .mov file on your iphone taking up space.
    I noticed in iTunes that i had 3.9 GB of "Other" taking up space on my iphone. After using third party software, i looked into the files on the iphone and found that most of this space was being taken up by files in my "recordings" folder. I went into 'voice memos' on my iphone and individually** deleted all the voice memos (after backing them up) and freed up a significant amount of the 3.9 GB. However, there are still 1.2 GB of .mov files still taking up space on the iphone, and I cannot find a program that will let me delete the files (write to the iphone hard disk) and the iphone itself cannot recognise the files!
    It seems the only way to delete the files is to Jailbreak. I don't want to jailbreak the phone, simply because i believe that when you pay for apple products, you are paying for a product that 'just works'. In other words, they have done all the trouble shooting and tweaking of things to make it all work seamlessly. Jailbreaking reopens the can of worms of software clashes, and you get back into the land of using a windows style system.
    Does anyone have a way around this?
    I have iPhone 3g and Macbook 2.4ghz Core2Duo.

    They won't sync back to your phone as far as I know. You can sync them from your phone to computer to listen to them in itunes. If you delete a voice memo on iPhone, it isn’t deleted from the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes. However, if you delete a voice memo from iTunes, it is deleted from iPhone the next time you sync with iTunes.
    You might try this:
    In iTunes, select the voice memo you want on your phone, go to “Advanced” and select “Create MP3 Version”. See if you can sync that back to your phone.
