IDVD nor iMovie Is Working with ArcSoft Showtime Software

I used ArcSoft's Showtime to burn dvds from my vhs tapes. The copies are in .vob file format and neither iMac program will work with these movie discs which I can play in my home dvd. What must I do to have iMac software work with my dvds in .vob? Any help will be greatly appreciated! Bill

Btw .... if you have the finished DVD (assuming it is not copy protected) and it also has a video_ts foder then you might be able to use an app like:

in order to convert the files to a format (QT) that i-apps can read (you may see some loss in quality as a result).

Can iDVD 09 open and work with an iDVD project i made in 06?

I am bringing over my iMovie 06 and iDVD projects over to new mac with iDVD 09. I took out iMovie 09 and resinstalled 06HD. The iMovie 06 files now open ok, but not the iDVD 06 projects, when I try to open them with iDVD 09. Should I remove iDVD 09 and install iDVD 06.
I heard that iMovie 06 files will import ok into iDVD 09, but now assuming that the iDVD 06 projects themselves will not open in the newer program.

i uninstalled iDVD 09 and installed iDVD 06 to see if I could open the G4's old iDVD projects.
Error message says iDVD 06 will not work with this OS. What gives? Apparently iMovie HD06 will work, as far as I can tell, with just a few tests.
What CAN I DO HERE to bring over my iDVD 06 projects so I can work them on Snow Leopard?
Luckily the dvd projects are not many and not complex. But there are so many issues with all of this. I might as well have a computer that knows only Chinese characters. I got the new mac so my video work wouldnt clog up on the old G4. But this is beyond clog. This is cement, stuck at the starting gate.

Will iMovie 9 work with a Mavericks upgrade? MacBook Pro 8.2 OSX 10.7.5

Will iMovie 9 work with a Mavericks upgrade?

I have just installed Mavericks and iMovie v9.09 no longer works (it starts but then crashes as it tries to optimise its contents)

Does iMovie 08 work with two external devices?

Where can I download iMovie to work with OS X.10.4.11?

Where can I download iMovie to work with OS X.10.4.11?

You will need to find a used copy of iLife '06 installer discs. E-bay, Craigslist, perhaps Google Groups Low End Mac.
Edit:
You can investigate iLife '08 as mende1 suggests. Many people did not like the "improvements" Apple made to iMovie '08 and Apple went as far as making available a special download of iMovie 06 for those who purchased iLife 08. This download is no longer available.
You also did not say what hardware you are using. iMovie '08 will not run on all computers capable of running 10.4.11 - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1010

Does a laptop with Intel HD 4400 graphics work with creative cloud software, or do I NEED Nvidia or AMD?

Does a laptop with Intel HD 4400 graphics work with creative cloud software, or do I NEED to have Nvidia or AMD graphics

Creative Cloud has MANY programs Explore Adobe desktop apps | Adobe Creative Cloud so the answer is most likely going to be specific to the program
Work... yes... work WELL with something like Premiere Pro... no

Why wont the new version of aperture work with Nik complete software. I uninstalled and re installed Nik and it still wont work.

Why wont the new version of aperture work with Nik complete software. I uninstalled and re installed Nik and it still wont work.

I believe that Nik is having trouble adhering to Apple's "identified developer" requirements.
there is a FAQ on Nik site regarding problems with their installers.
a guess.

Does iMovie 06 Work with iLife 08

I have a PM G4, PM G5 (SP 1.8) and a PB G4 1.25. From what I have read, I am convinced that iMovie 08 will not install on any of my macs.
See this link:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imovieHD6.html
I'm curious to know if iMovie 06 will work with the various components of iLife 08. If so it would be worth it for me to purchase iLife 08 since I only do SD video, have no interest in HD video and that way I could use the iPhoto, iweb etc components of iLife 08 with iMovie 06.
If it dosen't work with the other components of iLife 08 then I'll not but it. I'll wait until after Leopard is out in October and then buy a new iMac with Leopard and iLife 08 installed. Also by then the bugs in iLife 08 should also be documented and even some updates released..
Anyone know?
Thanks,
Bob

Thanks Len and everyone who has provided input!!! I'm feeling much better that those of us who have older but still fine running macs with the ability to run leopard when it is released will still be able to use iLife 08 via iMovie 06.
Here is one final question before I mark this solved. I understand that when you install iLife 08 it leaves iMovie 06 intact. But does it upgrade the remaining components of iLife 06 to iLife 08? I have been in the habit of saving my current iLife suite as iLifeXX old and then doing an install of the new version of iLife. This way I would still have the old version to revert to and also have it available if I still had some old iMovie/iDVD projects that were still in the works.
It is very encouraging Len that you were able to successfully import an iMovie 06 project into iLife 08.
Just want to be sure before I do the install and all (except iMovie) of my iLife 06 apps have been replaced with iLife 08 apps.
Again, thanks for all the good news.
Bob

Hej
iMovie'11
iMovie History 08, 09 & 11These are NOT AN EVOLUTION FROM Previous versions (iMovie 1 to HD6) but a totally new application.
iMovie 08 (v7) 7.1.4 (aug 2007)
• A new way of storing project and an event library as well
• A totally new product in a pre-release state. Far from a working application.
• Lacks even basal functions
• No Speed-up or down or reverse
• Lot’s of video-formats lacking
• No cont. TimeLine - Bad logic
• No good for interlaced SD-video from miniDV tape aimed to a DVD release.
(Discarding every second line makes quality as VHS in LP or EP mode = BAD)
• NO - Playback via Camera/FW - and this prevents 100% safety-backups and the use of an extra TV/Monitor as real-time Quality control (as in iM 1 to HD6)
• Color tools got much BETTER - nearly usable - even sort of a copy function
• Direct share to .Mac and YouTube
• More Cameras supported even AVCHD (need of Intel CPU)
• Do not run on G4 or older - G5 minimum
• Need of 1.9 GHz G5-Mac,
(Can run on 1.8GHz G5 iMac if installed on external boot hard disk and speedier Mac - can’t install directly)
• Mac OS X.4.9 minimum
• QuickTime 7.2 included
Aimed at - speed editing small video projects to be presented on the Internet - NOT DVDs
iMovie 09 (v8) 8.0.6 (jan 2009)
• Far better than iMovie 08 but still far from good.
• Pic in pic, green screen but rudimentary
• Image stabilization - fairly good for amateur use
• Speed-up/down and reverse
• Bl/W, Old age etc
• Still - No Continuos TimeLine
• NO - Possibilities to enhance by use of third-part Plug-ins (all investments lost)
• NO - Playback via Camera/FW - and this prevents 100% safety-backups and the use of an extra TV/Monitor as real-time Quality control (as in iM 1 to HD6)
Aimed at - speed editing small video projects to be presented on the Internet - NOT DVDs
iMovie 11 (v9) 9.0.x - 9.0.4 (2011 july)
• Will be - Intel Only
• Snow Leopard minimum Mac OS X.6.3
YES
• Advanced view including a true TimeLine ? Yes but rudimentary (very basic)
• True Story-board - where You even can write and prepare space for lacking material that needs to be obtained or re-shoot. YES
• Better wave-form presentation of audio and audio tools - Rubber-band - Yes
• Trailer creating tool
• ”Faces” as in iPhoto - NO - but this finds if there are people in some video-clips
• Better audio tools. Equalizer and a background audio reducer
• More Camera support e.g. 24fps
NO
• not 64-bit only
• The Playback to Camera via FW - returns ? NO
• Full Quality to iDVD - NO - still only half - every second line - Questionable - Some indicates it to be able to loss-less Exports - Has to be proven
• Plug-in facility ? - NO
• No free text tool
• Tool to mask an identity e.g.. band over face or un-sharp area. - NO (could be obtained via Plug-ins in iM HD6 and earlier)
• Animation tool - To point on interesting object/player - NO animations refer to a totally different
thing connected to Story-board and insert of ”dummy animations” while building a movie

How do i get a copy of IDVD and will it work with final cut pro x.

I have a new powerbook. I've purchased final cut pro x because express is no longer available. My Mac didn't come with iDVD and I can't find a suitable dvd authoring tool. Please... some suggestions for DVD authoring or how to get a copy of iDVD and will it even work with FCPx.

Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge. (There are no realistic substitutes for iDVD.)
408-996-1010
800-692-7753
If you are still within your 15 day return period, nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick. You MUST speak to a senior advisor to get a free copy. The first tier people cannot do it.
If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11 (includes iDVD) on disk.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

How can I get my iMovie 4 working with a USB Camcorder

Hello everybody,
I bought a Sony DCR SX33E which does not have a FireWire connection. IMovie does not recognize the camcorder and it is not possible to transfer the recorded material to iMovie 4. What can I do to get the camcorder working with my iMovie via USB?
Any help is much appreciated.
Best regards
Zuse

These cameras aren't supported in iMovie. It shoots in standard definition MPEG-2. You'll need MPEG Streamclip to convert the media to QuickTime DV as I don't think that version of iMovie supports other codecs.

IMovie not working with "Pure Digital" flash based camcorder

I just got iLife 8 and was eager to try it with the video I have been using with iMovie 6 & 7 with out any problem. When I plugged my camera into the USB port, nothing happened. So I opened the flash disk in finder and dragged the avi files to the desktop like i did for iMovie 7 but when I tried to import them to iMovie 8, they were grayed out. Does Apple have any plans to support avi in iMovie 8?

I have some experience with a similar product made by DigiLife. It also saves its "mpeg4" video in an .avi wrapper and Quicktime has never been able to play those clips properly (in this case, video works but audio doesn't). Therefore, you have to convert them to something Quicktime can read using an app that does NOT rely on Quicktime for its codecs.
I have 2 recommendation for you. The easiest and probably best is to use Techspansion's Visual Hub (http://www.techspansion.com/visualhub/). It does a great job with my DigiLife camera files. The other option would be to use VLC (http://www.videolan.org/) which is a little bit trickier to use, but is totally free and works on just about any kind of video file.

Do cameras that work with Imovie also work with Final cut pro x?

I have a Sony Bloggie (MHS-PM5) that is compatible with Imovie, will it also work with Final Cut Pro X.

It does work!

Neither JMX nor JNDI seems working with OEP 12.1.3 (regression ?)

Hi,
I'm currently writing an OEP application, on the 12.1.3 version.
My first problem is related to JMX: when OEP is started, I cannot connect in JMX:
I lanch "OEP_HOME/oep/bin/wlevsjconsole.cmd"
I use the following URL "service:jmx:msarmi://localhost:9002/jndi/jmxconnector" with user "wlevs" and my pwd
Impossible to connect...
My second problem is related to JNDI resource access:
I add an "data-source" with its "data-source-params/jndi-names/element" in the OEP domain's config.xml file
I start my OEP (with or without security disbaled, it doesn't change nothing)
I try to access programmatically the JNDI resource (using the InitialContext lookup method with no prefix, with "java:comp/env/jdbc/", with "java:jdbc/, with "jdbc/") but I always get a NameNotFoundException.
I try to list programmatically the JNDI resources using the list("") but I get a NoPermissionException.
I'm not 100% sure, but it seems to me that these things were working with the 11 version of OEP. Could these be regressions ?
Thx for any help or advice on this.
