IDVD won't recognize any QuickTime files...

Suddenly iDVD doesn't recognize any of the files I had created previous DVDs with, nor is it recognizing new .mov files I have created. QuickTime, FCP, and DVD Studio Pro all still recognize and use the .mov files.
Has anyone else had this problem?
I have deleted iDVD and reinstalled, but the problem persists...
Any help out there?

Okay, I got on under my troubleshooting account, in which I've never even opened any of the iLife apps, populate the iPhoto library with some images off a memory stick, ditto for iTunes, and 2 of the Quicktime Movies that won't work under my regular account.
Created a brand new iPhoto slideshow and exported it through the 'share with iDVD' option as before. At the end of the slideshow export, I got an error message from iDVD saying that there were issues with the build and the movie was not a valid one, something like "it is not a movie". But, there it is, sitting in my Movies Folder as a Quicktime Movie AND I can play it with Quicktime.
So I try to do a new iDVD. Select the Revolution Template, drag in images from the iDVD media browser Photos, drag in music from the iDVD media browser Audio. All okay. Then I do the 'add a movie' choice, and drag the Quicktime Movie into the iDVD menu as before, and as before, it cannot 'find' it. I use the 'find file' again, and there it is, right where iDVD cannot see it. I select and open it, but iDVD responds by moving that 'find' to the bottom of the list and I'm caught in a gerbil wheel of 'finding' files that are right in front of me in the Finder, but can't be seen by iDVD.
I also restored all preferences from my last Time Machine save for iDVD, iPhoto, and the Media Browser. Tried it all again. No luck.
Any ideas?

  • DVD Studio Pro 1.5 Won't Recognize Any Video Files

    Hello, everyone! I guess this might be a little prehistoric, but I really need help. I have the dinosaur, DVD Studio Pro 1.5, and for some reason it won't recognize any .m2v's, .mpeg's, or anything else. As I understand it, DVD Studio Pro 1.5 will only take MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 files, but whenever I use them, it says, "Error: Unknown File Type," in the Log.
    Can someone help me? Perhaps there is a way to make it accept more than just MPEG-1 & 2?
    Thanks so much!

    Well, I used the requirements for Widescreen NTSC in BitVice. The requirements are given in the DVD Studio Pro 1.5 manual. However, when I went to drag the file into DVD Studio Pro 1.5, the log came up and said: ERROR: 480 is not the proper height for a PAL file.
    So, I knew that it must only want PAL files.
    Another problem:
    To apply videos for a Motion Menu, I am supposed to click on the menu in the Graphical View, and go to "Asset" under "Picture," and select the video I want. The problem is, it won't show ANY .m2v's in the Asset drop box. It will show my Photoshop files, though. And, I'm sorry to say that those files you offered me didn't work either. (They didn't show up under the Asset drop box.)
    [Thanks so much, by the way! They had NO trouble importing to DVD Studio Pro!]
    Here's a picture of my computer and the missing files in the "Assets" drop box.

  • Final Cut Express HD won't recognize .mov / quicktime files.

    I have a MacBook Pro 13-inch with FCE3 installed. I'm using OSX 10.6.6. My camera doesn't put video out through a firewire, only usb, meaning FCE can't recognize it (to the best of my knowledge). So, to get around that, I uploaded the video through iLife '11 and converted all my video into one long .mov/quicktime file. When I try to import the video, I get a "file error" message.
    Any tips on how I can get the video form iMovie to FCE? If it means not using quicktime, I'm fine with that, too.
    Thanks!

    Well, to repsond to Ian, I don't have FCE4. I have FCE3. I'll upgrade eventually, though.
    And I have a Cannon FS20. I did what you said in the quicktime player. Here's the format:
    "H.264, 960 x 540, Millions Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 2 channels, 44100 Hz."
    The video plays fine in iMovie '11. I even tried the "share with Final Cut" tab in iMovie, but the video still wouldn't work in FCE3.
    But I might add that it's not just the video from my camera that doesn't work in FCE3. It's all quicktime video. Even video that worked in FCE3 on my old Powerbook G4 now don't work in the same in FCE3 for my MacBook Pro.

  • Idvd won't recognize the .mov file I made in iMovie,

    so now i can't bring it into a dvd project.  Any solutions?  I made dvd with it before.  I'd like to be able to use the idvd themes.

    This is how I've done it in iMovie 11 - I haven't used it for some time and I don't know if there is a later version or if this will work (Apple may well have crippled it like other programs):
    Don't use Share to iDVD, it degrades the quality.
    Select Share>Export using QuickTime. In the 'Export' drop-down menu choose 'Movie to QuickTime Movie.
    Click Options. Uncheck 'Prepare for Internet Streaming'.
    Video: Settings: Quality - best. Frame rate - current. Compression type - try 'None'. Size - PAL 720 x 576*. Do not deinterlace. This will take around real time.
    Import into iDVD and proceed in usual way.
    *For UK. If in USA use suitable settings for NTSC.

  • IPod full but now won't recognize any files; how to fix without "restore"?

    My iPod mini suddenly won't recognize any of my files or extensive playlists. I just uploaded several songs to it, and when I disconnected and tried to play it, it suddenly showed as completely empty, like I'd deleted everything. I plugged it back in, and while nothing shows up in iTunes with - no songs, no playlists - it says it's still nearly full.
    Reading another thread, I found the files on the iPod through My Computer. So they are still there, but for whatever reason the iPod, literally suddenly, can't recognize them as present. How do I fic this WITHOUT having to restore the iPod and then re-add those files (and recreate all of my playlists?)

  • IDVD won't load large project file..Help!

    iDVD won't load large project file once I close the program for the first time since finishing the project.  Basically, I made a compilation DVD of numerous individual files spread across quite a few folders/sub-menus totaling about 236 minutes on a Dual Layer DVD+R.  I closed the project prior to burning but now, iDVD gets the rainbow wheel everytime you try to load that particular project.  What's the deal?
    Notes:
    -iDVD does still load if I want to load another (smaller/simple project) or start a new one.
    -I've tried to start over from scratch a make the exact same project.  When I exited out and went to load it, it did the same thing.
    -I'm running Mac OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard and iDVD 7.1.2.
    Any suggestions?

    That camera shoots H.264 in an .avi wrapper.
    You will have to transfer the files via the Finder.
    Get a free copy of MPEG Streamclip and convert them to QuickTime .mov using the H.264 codec if you are presumably editing in iMovie.
    Note that your list of video codecs won't look like mine as I have Final Cut Pro, but H.264 is definitely an option for you.

  • Bridge 'get photos from camera' stopped working and Bridge won't recognize my DNG files anymore

    So, I've got Bridge set up to get pictures from mem.card whenever I insert one in my laptop (win. 8.1). A week ago I installed Sony's PlayMemories. Without asking me it hijacked Bridge's task of getting pictures from my cards. What's worse, I tried to fire the 'get photos from camera' function manually from Bridge. Bridge starts working, but nothing happens. I uninstalled PlayMemories and reset Bridge, also told my laptop to run Bridge whenever I insert a card. Still nothing happens and I still can't get the 'get photos' function to run manually from Bridge. Anyway, I can still rund the DNG converter to get my pictures, but today Bridge won't recognize my DNG files - worked fine yesterday. I downloaded CS6 from this link https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-product-downloads.html  and tried to run the installer, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Maybe I need to do a full uninstall off CS6 for it to do anything..?  Anyway, if any of you guys could help me with my Bridge/CS6 issues I'd be grateful.  I've got 3 sets of concert photos and a snowboard comp. shoot I need to finish this week

  • IDVD won't recognize imovie project

    Hello people.
    I have an 09 Mac desktop computer. I have now made seven iMovie projects ranging from ten minutes to almost two hours. Each time I shared the project with iDVD to burn the finished product to disc. Each time I made sure I could play back the movie on our DVD player.
    I was able to play back each of these movies on my computer as the files ( I am assuming they were files ) were automatically stored in a movies folder right after they were shared with iDVD from iMovie. Since they take up space on the hard drive, I decided to store the files on an external hard drive. I believe each one copied to the hard drive. Once each one was on the hard drive, I made sure I could play it back. Then I trashed each file on the computer, again making sure right after that I could still play each file on the external drive. They would open in iDVD and I could play them. All was good.
    Recently I made another iMovie project of my children's high school play. As I did before, I shared it with iDVD and it appeared to be working as usual. It was to take approx. 30 minutes to create the movie from the project. HERE IS MY FIRST PROBLEM! Usually after the movie is created, it then opens in iDVD and from here I can burn to disc. iDVD did not open! I tried a couple of times and nothing. I then tried a short 30 second clip from iMovie with no titles or transitions or anything. This worked. iDVD opened after creating the short movie. My project is an hour long. Consequently with this project I shared it with the media browser and made it into an avi file. I then used a program ( Toast ) that came with my Roxio Converter ( VHS to DVD ) software to burn the movie to disc.
    HERE IS MY NEXT PROBLEM!  I went to view the movies on my hard drive and iDVD won't recognize them. It says it can't find the missing audio and video files. Can anyone help me with this?
    Thanks

    Hello darrenfromnanaimo
    Cross your fingers for a satisfactory answer to the "NEXT PROBLEM."  When you copied the iDVD files to your external drive and deleted them on your computer -- hopefully you just deleted the iDVD files and not the iMovie files.  If that's the case, you can reconnect the external iDVD files to the original iMovie files and you're back in business (open the external iDVD project and use it's browser to find the original iMovie files).  If the iMovie files were deleted, that's a more difficult problem -- you'll need to recreate the iMovie files (re-import from the camcorder and re-edit), or you'll have to "rip" your DVDs back into an electronic file (which gives you only the finished product of your original editing, with slightly degraded video resolution).

  • Adober Reader suddenly won't open any PDF files (Mac)

    I had an old version, I downloaded the latest one, upgraded to the newest, even tried taking that one out and downloading an older version. It doesn't matter which version I seem to have, it won't open any pdf files from the web.
    I use a Mac, and Safari. It used to always load PDF files fine, one random place said I had to update it so I did and since then, lately it'd crash and close all Safari windows when loading a PDF or trying to copy something from a PDF. The smart Mac message I have says it could be related to an Adobe Plug in. However, now it won't even load PDF files at all, it always goes to a white page. Nothing happens.
    What do I do?? I can't even save the PDF's as individual files and view then in Preview as an alternative option. It's a link online and normally would work. What happened??
    HELP!
    I have a Mac OS X Version 10.5.8
    I've always used Safari, it's Version 5.0.5 (5533.21.1 if that means anything).
    Acrobat Reader, currently an old version 9.4.0 download. BUT, I had also the 10.0.1 version which also doesn't work. When I had that 10.0.1 version and checked for updates, there was an update (.3 I think?) and I did that and that also doesn't work!
    Why did it suddenly stop working?
    What can I do to fix it ASAP?
    Only with 9.4.0 version I can go to Help and "Repair Adobe Reader Installation" - I click that and the only box I can select is "Adobe PDFViewer Safari Plugin - View, fill-in and collaborate on Adobe PDFs within Safari"  - I click continue and it tells me there's "No missing components detected. Repairs are not needed." The only option is to click "OK".
    With any newer version of Adobe Reader, under Help there is no option to "Repair Adobe Reader Installation". So... I can't even try that with a new version.
    I am at a loss for solutions. Hope someone here can help! Thanks!

    There are several things you can do. My first step would be to repair permissions. If that doesn't work log on as a different user. If all works properly then you have a corrupt preference file (most likely) or a corrupt user font installed in your user Library (less likely). If that doesn't work download Applejack. Have it repair the disk, remove all system caches and user caches. Then have it check all system and user preference files. Remove any preference files that are corrupt. Reboot and see if your system is working properly.

  • DNG Converter 6.4 does not recognize any RAW files

  • My HP laptop with windows 8 won't recognize any library with home sharing; although the other computers do.

    I've tried activating and deactivating home sharing multiple times, any other reason why this is happening?
    Thanks

    A couple of other things you might like to try :-
    - Determine whether you are able to access the internet from anywhere else on your new PC (e.g. do Windows updates download ?  Can you access the Windows 8 store ? )   If the answer is no, then your problem doesn't lie with IE but with the actual wireless connection.  If the answer is yes, then continue as below.
    - Run IE from the desktop instead of the Start screen - probably won't make any difference, but worth a try.
    - Download a decent browser like Firefox or Chrome and try that - this will show whether the problem lies just with IE or not
    - As a general rule, don't do anything that PC World tell you to do, lol !
    As gg30340 says, this does sound very much like it MAY be a problem with firewall settings - if you're running Norton Antivirus then I believe that will be providing the firewall service, rather than the inbuilt Windows firewall. 
    One thing you don't need to worry about - Windows 8 is a perfectly good OS and works just as well as Windows 7 did.  I'm using it now !
