Imported files (from vhs to digital camcorder) are too big to handle.

When I import my vhs footage (through camcorder) to imovie... the files
are so big they take most of my hard drive. For example the size is about
2GB for a minute of footage. Any ideas why? Thanks!!

They are the same. A DV file is often referred to as a stream because it has a "stream" of continuous frames. 29.97/second to be exact. Some camcorders record to a hard drive or optical disc and these usually use MPEG compression methods which rob you of your "stream"; going from 29.97 frames per second to two. Which is also the source of mucho frustration in trying to edit these formats! Stream is also used because Firewire streams data to your computer: 1-2-3-4-5-6; while USB will break data into packets (1 & 4, 2 & 5, 3 & 6), sends the packets to a computer and the computer needs to reassemble the info to 1-2-3-4-5-6.

Convert .mpeg files from JVC Everio HD Camcorder for iDVD/iMovie use?

Hello,
I am a brand new Mac user, but an experienced PC user. I have a JVC Everio 30gb HD camcorder that records video as .mod files, which can then be changed to .mpeg format to view. I want to edit these files and make home DVDs with iMovie and iDVD, but they say that the .mpeg format is not recognized. What do I need to do to use these .mpeg video files with these software programs?
Many thanks in advance!

welcome batman to the  board ...
well... the iApps iMovie and iDVD are meant to work
with firewire connected miniDV camcorders...
you lose the convenience of the iApps... anyhow:
Streamclip
(free) is the weapon of choice, in case, your
HDcorder stores as mpeg1...
for mpeg2 conversion, you need additionally the Apple
mpeg2 plugin (20$) ...
helpful?
Thanks for the quick response!
Well, I think they are in mpeg2 format, but not positive. Anyway, I did away with miniDV camcorders because they transfer much slower to the computer than the HD camcorder...but now I get this issue! lol I guess that's what I get for switching to a Mac!
Is there any other way besides the $20 plugin to convert the file? Will the plugin lose any quality in the conversion process?

Import Problems with JVC EVERIO HD7 Hard Drive Camcorder

So i just got this new camcorder and low and behold the format it puts out the video in isnt accepted by iMovie HD, the files are in .MOI and .TOD format, any help on getting formatting them right would be greatly appreciated

I've been having the same problem - trying to import files from a JVC GZ HD-10 and the files not being recognised. I've downloaded the QT components as per the above post, but when I try to install them I get this message:
'The installer can't detect an earlier version or proper version for installing this upgrade. Close this message box to end the installation procedure.'
What exactly can't it detect an earlier version of? Does it mean Quicktime? Final cut Pro? Has anyone found a way to successfully import files from a JVC camcorder directly into a Mac with the same spec as mine?

Will FC X import XDCAM.mov files FROM JVC, not XDCAM EX ?

Will FC X import XDCAM.mov files FROM JVC, not XDCAM EX ?

Hi Kenneth,
We work with Sony XDCAM, and as long as I know you can only export it to .MXF or .MP4 (XDCAM EX).

Importing video from Sony 120GB HDD Camcorder

Looking for help on importing video from Sony 120GB HDD Camcorder.
I recently purchased a new imac (1st mac) and imported the stored video on my Sony 120GB HDD camcorder. I would estimate that this is approximately 60-80 GB worth of video on the camcorder but when I imported this has become over 800GB on my imac and basically fills the HD.
My question is - is this normal or am I doing something wrong.
Cheers

Unfortunately the video from the current crop of High Def capable cameras use a really highly compressed file format to save video. The one most used is called AVCHD and it can really save a lot of space ON THE CAMERA if you like to shoot at the highest resolution. However to edit that video, it needs to be decompressed so that iMovie can preview it, and edit it accurately down to the individual video frame level (1/30th of a second). So the short answer is you're not doing anything wrong, those video clips can expand up to 40-75GBytes per hour of video after they are imported into the iMovie Events folders. However it is entirely possible to store the iMovie Events folders on an additional external hard drive. And that's usuallly the best solution for anyone quickly running out of space.

Transferring files from JVC Gz-HD7U into iMoviehd

how do i transfer my files from jvc hd camcorder, GZhd7U into imovie hd6-- since i downloaded the new quicktime 7.4 i cant seem to copy , move, transfer or read the tod files from my jvc
please please please.. any help would be appreciated
eric

Winston,
Thank you for pinpointing the explanation of the error code. I have no idea why those files would be of invalid duration aa those clips are not more than 8 to 10 minutes long, they should not be too long at all. I seems like the imovie is reading something wrong from those files. None of them are more than 12 minutes long

I imported files from an external hard drive to Itunes on a new computer. they imported & play fine, but the ratings & playlists are gone & i am unable to update any info. I found a file name playlist on old drive & imported now most files are missing!

Can you locate the iTunes Library.itl file on the old drive? Ideally you would have simply copied over the entire iTunes folder structure from <User's Music> on the old computer into <User's Music> on the new one to transfer the library will all playlists, ratings, play counts etc. intact.

I have some audio files on my previous phone which I would like to export to my new iPhone 5. I am told that you can only import files from iTunes. Is that true? If not, how do I import files from my phone - or my Macbook pro laptop-to my phone? Thanks!

iTunes will only import music from your phone that was purchased from the iTunes store. To transfer music from other sources you have to use 3rd party software, such as PhoneView.

HT5251 I CAN'T TO IMPORT FILES FROM MY COMPUTER....

THANS for guidelines but how to import files from computer and not from camera? i always receive the error message...

Sorry but we are not mind readers so ONLY know what you tell us
Your profile says you have OS X version 10.6.8 - iPhoto 9.3 will not work with that OS - you do not tell us what version of iPhoto you have
so once again the actual exact error message and a list of what you have tried and the actual versions of iPhoto and of the OS that you are running would be a big help
Then if I post a question to apple support i need a solution otherways...
It is not your English - it is simply not providing simple, basic information - we can not see your system and only know what you tell us - providing incorrect and incomplete information makes it impossible to give valid assistance

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
From what I understand is that you deleted a backup file. Could you describe your problem with a little more detail please.

How do I import files from My Canon XF300 into FCPX

This is driving me mad, I am trying to import files from my Canon XF300 into FCPX I have tried everything but no sucess any help would be welcomed.

Is there a plugin for FCPX Ver 10.0.7, I found one for FCP 7 but that doesn't work. I also downloaded The Canon XF Utility but although this opens the clips from the camera I am unable to get the clips into FCPX.
Fred,
Sorry, I mis-spoke. I do have Canon Utility installed on my SL machine, but have used it mainly as a file review interface and as a backup utility. My MXF files are then brought in via Log & Transfer in FCP 7, which requires one of the plug-ins (and as you noted, does not work with FCPX).
In the majority of situations I'm ingesting on location to a MBP running Lion. In that case, I have the option of importing them either into FCP7 or FCPX.
A came across this hack for getting the Canon plug-in to install on SL. It looks straightforward but I haven't tried it, so if you do, proceed at your risk. As for me, my plans are to partition my drive later this month and boot from both 10.6 and 10.7 as necessary.
Good luck.

How do import files from pse 12 to pse 13

Hi. how do I import files from pse 12 to pse 13 .. I was given 'full' version as opposed to update from 12 to 13

Hi trog1654,
You can take back up of the catalog in PSE12 and restore it in PSE13 or you can use convert feature(Catalog Manger(shortcut:Ctrl+Shift+C)-->convert) in PSE13. It will be a good option if you want to move all files from PSE12's catalog.
