Import 2 avi files and combine in 1 dvd

Hi En experts!
I have installed the Encore Cs5 Trial with Win7 64bit.
Now i will import 2 avi files (part 1 and part 2 for a video) and combine in sequence and after write a dvd for my tv-dvd player..is possible? Give me please instructions...
Thank's and sorry for my poor english !
Ciao from Italy!

With two separate Assets, I would recommend doing one separate Timeline for each one, as this can circumvent some issues, when one gangs Assets onto one Timeline. If you need continuous play for multiple Timelines, then just use Playlists and you can choose to play any/all Timeline(s), and in any order desired.
Even with separate Timelines, one can still use Chapter Markers and can then use Chapter Playlists to access those as desired.
Make sure that you do NOT use any Overrides anywhere - use Playlists, or Chapter Playlists instead.
Happy authoring,
Hunt

Can't import .avi files and I have Pro

Ok... I bought Quicktime Pro about 3 years ago and after they updated to the next version, it wouldn't import my FlaskOut.avi from the program FlaskMPEG. It states something like "Quicktime doesn't have the software to view this file. Unfortunatly, it's not on the Quicktime website." I never had a problem with this until I upgraded to the next version. I re-installed the old version and put in the Key but that version doesn't work anymore either. I need to import these to place trailers on my website. Do I need to buy Quicktime Pro again? And if I do will I be able to import these files then? If it won't work, do you know I program I could use? Thanks guys.

You need to install Perian.

Importing .avi files and PE7 turns them into audio files...

Why does it do this and what do I need to do in order to have PE7 treat them as regular video files for editting?
(I'm using Downloader to pull videos from youtube and import them into PE7 to produce a disk.)

First, do not worry, PrE7 has not harmed your files. It is just that it can only get to the Audio portion of those files, so that is all that it can display. They are still intact.
Now, with many file formats, and AVI in particular, much can be inside that file. This ARTICLE will give you some background.
With just the Audio coming through, my guess would be that the files are encoded using either DivX, or Xvid, as this is a very common problem. You can check this out with G-Spot, also mentioned in the linked article.
If the files play on your computer, then you likely have the necessary CODEC, unless you're using MediaPlayer Classic or VLC Player, as they have their own CODEC systems.
Steve's advice to convert these files is the best course of action. You may need to get the CODEC and install it (again, G-Spot will tell you exactly what you will need and if its installed on your computer). I do not know if Prizm has its own CODEC's but would assume that it uses those installed on the computer.
Good luck,
Hunt

I'm trying to import avi files to FQP - why does it not work? I've tried DVX-converter and Perian without any luck.

I'm trying to import avi-files to FQP without any success. I'vw tried to convert it with quick-time and insalled Perian, with no luck. I'm new to FQP...

FQP??
Never mind. Open one of your .avi files in QuickTime Player.
Press command and i keys to get the Inspector window.
Tell us what it says next to Format.
avi is just a container, we need to know the codec that was used to make them.

Importing AVI files

Hello. I've just switched over from the dark side to Mac and I need some help using FCE. Here are my basic questions:
1) Best settings/method for importing AVI files from a hard disk?
2) Best export settings for high quality use in powerpoint and/or DVD/CD?
Now for a little more info...
I work with athletes in the areas of sport science and performance. I have tons of video saved on multiple hard drives in AVI format that we did video analysis of technique using DartFISH. They were originally captured with good quality digital video cameras via DartFISH as AVI files. These are large files and high quality video (200-300 MB for a 1 min clip) .
RIght now, if I choose "import: from file" I get a message saying the clips are not optimized for FCE and I should recapture them. Unfortunately, all I have are the files on HD and not the original tapes, etc.
What is the best way to import the AVI clip files into FCE for editing? Settings, etc. Do I need to convert to a Mac-friendly format first with a third-party app like QuickTime Pro, VLC, MPEG StreamClip? Use iMovie?
My overall goal is to not lose quality/suffer degradation of the clips in the conversion, edit, export process. I'm not that concerned with file size, but I also don't really want to go through 3 or four steps and create multiple large files for the same clip.
My desired output is for continued work with athletes so they can take video home (DVD or CD of clips) to review and academic presentations (powerpoint). So seeing fine detail in the clips is important. An edit/output set-up that I will use a lot is merging two clips to play in a PIP, side-by-side, or overlay format. i.e., athlete A with perfect form on the left, athlete B with flaws on the right and the clips play simultaneously as one final output movie.
Is the basic Quicktime export function the best for my needs?
I've got a decent background in computers and basic video editing. Clip splitting, marking in/out, timeline, transitions, and other edit functions are no problem. My main area of weakness is all the different video formats, codecs, compression options, and other similar settings. There weren't many of those types of choices in my old system. I've produced some movies with FCE already, but the quality in the videos dropped from the original clips to final output.
Thanks,
TD...

Tom--
Thanks for the response. Using MPEG Streamclip solved my import problems. Using the default DV25 compression seemed to yield a file of similar size to my original AVI files. Is there much benefit in using the DVCPRO25 or DVCPRO50?
I'm still having some troubles with export format settings. Using the default Quicktime movie export, the finished clips looks to be fine in Quicktime. But using the .mov clip in Powerpoint yields some degraded quality. The picture appears to have "lines" and generally looks less crisp/clean. I thought this might have been just some Microsoft flaw in the Powerpoint movie engines, but I tried the same thing in Apple Keynote and got the same result. I have some screen shot image captures I could send you, but not sure how on the discussion board.

How to fix dropouts in imported AVI files?

I am having audio problems on imported AVIs. Using FCP4, i have imported some 45 min AVI files and rendered them on the FCP timeline. ON a timeline of 7 subclips, the first 4 clips play and the remaining 3 clips are silent, even though all display waveforms.
And there's another problem. Of the first few clips that DO play, there is a choppy dropout happening, like the audio drops one frame every half a second. It's a continuous rough and choppy playback effect on the audio. The video portion of the files is fine.
thx
John

Try converting the AVI files to a QuickTime codec that matches your FCP Sequence settings prior to import. AVI is a wrapper or container the hold A/V content that could have been made from any number of codecs, not all of which work with FCP very well. Chances are that the files you imported are one of those.
Also make sure that the files you import are not on the boot drive (desktop, user's home folder, etc) and that all hard drives have at least 15% of free space available.

Search multiple folders and muiltiple files and combine to single file

I want to search multiple folders for muliple files and combine to single file name. The files I'm searching have same format, but where named
differently in each of there processes. Now I want to combine based upon -SearchFor .. I'm having a problem with -Filter $SearchFor
Code:
Function Search-Files{
Param([String[]]$Locations,[String[]]$SearchFor, $AppendTo)
Begin
If(-Not (Test-Path $AppendTo)){New-Item $AppendTo -ItemType File -Force}
Process
ForEach($Location in $Locations)
$Files = Get-ChildItem -Path $Location -Filter $SearchFor -Recurse
ForEach($File in $Files)
Get-Content -Path $FIles.FullName | Out-File $AppendTo -Append
End{}
Search-Files -Locations "\\servera\public\t1\usa\saleshist\","\\serverb\public\t2\usa\saleshist\",-SearchFor "dodetail-cm.txt","somstr.txt",-AppendTo "\\virt1\Saleshist_data_load_files\saleshdr.load.csv"

I think you might want to use -Include instead of -Filter. Your -Include parameter accepts wildcards, i.e. *.docx or *somstr.txt
Your command to actually append the content should be:
Get-Content -Path $File.FullName | Out-File $AppendTo -Append
You had $Files.FullName which might behave unexpectedly, if at all.
Your actual command has several issues.
Search-Files -Locations "\\servera\public\t1\usa\saleshist\","\\serverb\public\t2\usa\saleshist\" -SearchFor "dodetail-cm.txt","somstr.txt" -AppendTo "\\virt1\Saleshist_data_load_files\saleshdr.load.csv"
You had commas following the lists of locations and searchfor terms, did that even work? Without seeing your source files or your target file I can only advise you so much, but ideally you would import-csv and export-csv. Depending on the contents,
you may be able to get away with get-content and out-file though.
I hope this post has helped!

Problems in importing avi file

I have problems\ in importing avi file..
when i try to import an avi file,, it is written that there is a message "unsupported format or damaged file"..
What should I do then?
I use Windows Vista Ultimate..

Welcome to the forum. As Harm points out, AVI is but a wrapper, and can contain all sorts of data inside. This ARTICLE might give you some insight into working with AVI's.

Importing avi files into jsp pages

hello all. im new to jsp and java. i would like to know how i could import .avi files from my MySQL database (where ive given paths for the avi files) into a jsp page. i am basically trying to make an application that allows users to select particular video files and play them. the user has the ability to upload and delete these videos

newbie4337 wrote:
im sorry i guess i didn't phrase that properly. i meant to say that i had saved the paths in the database If you have some saved URLs in the database (URLs to where these avi files can be found)
you just need to retrieve the URLs and use them when generating links (<a href="..."></a>) in the html produced by your JSP.
You have already given the paths in the html generated by your jsp? Paths as in URLs?
Then you must already have a servlet deployed that accepts HTTP requests for .avi URLs and reads the relevant .avi from the database and serves back an avi stream with the right mime type (video/x-msvideo) in the headers...
([w3schools|http://www.w3schools.com/media/media_mimeref.asp]).
could you give me some more info on that?If the URLs are hosted somewhere else you do not need any of this.

Imported AVI files getting cut off

I'm trying to import an avi file into my captivate project
and it seems to be getting cut off. When I use the slidebar the avi
plays completely but when I do a preview or a publish it cuts off
about 8 seconds of the avi. Can anyone help? I've tryed this with a
few different avi files and the same thing happens. Your help is
greatly appreciated.

The default slide time for a Captivate project varies
depending on version and preference settings - but it sounds like
all you really have to do is extend the time-to-play for the AVI
object on the time-line (thus also extending the slide display time
itself), to allow the converted AVI enough time to open and
complete its play.
This will have to be a trial and error, probably, because the
time isn't displayed for the converted animation.

Issues importing AVI files into iPhoto

Hi there,
I am trying to import the videos I've taken with my Olympus Digicam over the weekend into iPhoto but for the longer ones it doesn't work. When I select the movies to import it looks like it's doing it but then, after a while, iPhoto displays an error message stating the following:
The following file could not be imported. (The import failed.)
As already mentioned, the issues I have are with the AVI files, and they are pretty long movies...some up to 4 or 5 minutes I think.
Has anyone got an idea how I can get them to import and play in iPhoto?
Thanks heaps.
Nadine

Nadine
iPhoto will baulk at importing longer movies from a camera. The trick is to copy the movies to your desktop using the Finder (if your camera appears on the desktop) or Image Capture (in your apps folder) and then importing them to iPhoto.

Can't import .AVI files in QuickTime Player

Hi there - Okay,,I'm a real Noob,,but I can't understand why I can't import .AVI files when apparently I should be able to. I have just purchased a Toshiba Camelio S20 and have taken some test movie shots and when I've tried to open them in iMovie or just open them in finder I get the following message
'The document “IMAG0002.AVI” could not be opened. The movie is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands.'
The Quicktime player I'm using is Version 10 and I'm working with MacOS X V 10.6.4.
What am I doing wrong ?
Pls help ?
Thanx

Heya - thank you so much - have done what you suggested and now i can import the clips into iMovie - no problem!
But,,,,and,,golly,,don't know if I'm being really really stupid but by converting to DV or MOV I lose all audio from any of the clips that I'm importing...
Can you help some more - sore to be pain in buttocks !! Am completely new to iMovie so am struggling a bit!!!
Thanking you

Importing AVI file problem

I am getting the message " Selected file does not contain video data, is not a supported video file format, or video codec required is not found." I have used and still use Audition 1.5 with no problems. My other video editing programs have no problems. I unsucessfully tried importing AVI into Audtition 2 when it came out and after a few days gave up and stayed with 1.5. I want to upgrade, but I need to be able to import AVI files reliably. I have the most current codecs and they all seem to be working properly.

>So, do other audio editors handle video easily, or is Audition like other editors? Reason I ask: I'm going to be working with video in the very near future. I've got 1.5 and from the sounds of things, it's the Adobe audio product that plays best with video.
By all accounts, some other editors handle it better. But since I stopped editing video years ago, I can't tell you which. There have been threads about it though - it might be worth a search. By and large, I think that it's the more expensive ones that do this, though. If you have AA1.5 it's worth trying this to see if it fits your needs though - it's about the only version that can easily be used for voice-to-picture work - as ryclark attests. It's particularly useful in this case, because you can keep the talent in a quiet place with just a mic and monitor for company, and no PC...
>And if Audition doesn't handle video as well as other 'primarily audio' editors, is that cuz Adobe's trying to nudge people toward their video products?
I think that they're trying to nudge people towards SoundBooth, but this doesn't exactly recieve universal approbation in terms of audio for video, to say the least...

Unable to import .avi files from digicam

I'm unable to import .avi files from my finepix digicam. I get a message that says the files are unreadable. With the previous iPhoto version (v 06) I didn't have any problems. Any thoughts?

I agree with TD regarding Image Capture. I have the same problem with larger video clips and iPhoto 6. You can use Image Capture, choose "Download Some", select just the movie, and upload it to your Desktop. Ignore the blue Progress bar, as it seems to jump from zero to 100% with no real indication of the download progress. Be patient, leave it alone, and eventually the movie should appear on your Desktop. Once there, iPhoto should have no trouble importing it.
Regards.
