Import mpg file into Captivate

Hi
I am using Captivate 1.0 and I know it does not support
importing mpg file. Would you please let me know the free software
to convert mpg video file to avi file? The latter one is supported
in Captivate. Thanks a lot!

PPTX files sometimes don't import.  Save as PPT instead and try that.

  • How to import .mpg files into FCE ?

    I have succesfully installed the MPEG StreamClip & flip4mac into my iMac. So now I can both play wmv files on my iMac as well as importing wmv files into iMovie & FCE.
    But now I have another problem:
    1) How do I play mpg files on my iMac ?
    2) How do I bring import mpg files into FCE ?
    Thank you.

    QTPro gives you many more capabilities than the free player, but I don't think you need it to do anything you've described. You DO need the MPEG-2 Playback component. I'd start there, then see if you need any of the options provided by QTPro.
    Hi there,
    I have purchased the MPEG-2 Playback component from the Apple Store.
    I can now convert the mpg files to mov using the MPEG StreamClip.
    However, I cannot playback the original mpg files using QuickTime Player. I can only playback the original mpg files if I click on the mpg file then goto more info & change open with MPEG StreamClip.
    But how do I open with QuickTime MPEG-2 playback ? I do not even know where the OS installed the MPEG-2 Playback component to ?
    Thanks

  • How to import .exe files into Captivate

    I have some Flash .exe files that I want to import into
    Captivate so I can combine the files....and also so I can choose
    the properties for the files (for example, either to run on a loop
    or also to take to a website upon completion).
    So, how do I import .exe files into Captivate?

    Hi Steve
    Unless you can find some sort of a converter out on the web,
    I think you are out of luck. I am aware of the SoThink SWF
    decompiler (
    http://www.sothink.com/product/flashdecompiler
    ) but I'm somewhat doubtful it will work on .EXE files. Perhaps it
    will.

  • Can't import mpg files into iMovie

    Hi I just bought a Mac (new user) and wanted to edit some old movies I had saved as an mpg file. However i can't import it into iMovie to edit it which is disappointing as I was looking forward to doing that. Anyone got any suggestions?

    Once the file is converted, is it sufficient to drag and drop into an iMovie event? I tried, and certain conversions still gave me the message "not compatible with iMovie". Others, it appears the files slid into the iMovie event, but when i clicked on that event, they were no where to be found. (says "no matching files"). Any help will be greatly appreciated- I am a newbie and am lost!!

  • Can't import .avi files into Captivate 4

    I need some help, I'm getting really frustrated.  My project consists of about 10 short movies (2-3 minutes each) with quiz questions between the movies.  The movies were produced in Adobe Premiere Elements 2 and exported as .avi files.  When I go to import the files, I get this error:  "This AVI file cannot be converted into a Adobe Flash file.  Conversion aborted."
    I have tried converting the .avi files into .flv files (using Flash Video Encoder CS3), but that doesn't work for us for two reasons.  Captivate won't display the .flv files while in edit mode; it will only play them after the entire project has been produced.  After the project has been produced, however, the video of the .flv displays, but the audio from ALL of the .flv files in the project plays at the same time, rendering all of the dialogue unintelligible.
    I have been trying to solve this problem for a couple of weeks now, but I'm not getting anywhere.  Is there a specific codec I should be trying to use here?  Is there another process I should be using?  Is there a way that I can resolve the .flv issues?

    I'm OCD about this sort of stuff, too!
    I just insert my .avi files as animations, and that seems to work fine, so I'm no help there.
    I don't know enough about codecs to even comment. *sigh*
    And, my problem with .flv's has always been the other way around. When I insert an .flv, it always asks for the absolute path (like C:\Videos\VideoName.flv). Then, right before I create the .zip to upload to the LMS, I have to edit the path to VideoName.flv, and then check to make sure the file is on the .zip root, otherwise it won't play on the LMS 'cause it "can't find the file."
    Sorry I couldn't be of any more help, but if you're like me, at least you can get your work done while this eats into your mind and eventually drives you crazy. *grin*

  • Cannot import mpg files into Premier Pro CS3

    I've read the wiki and looked through the FAQs and did not find this issue, so here goes.
    The file began life as an mp4 from a GoPro HD camera.  It plays correctly in Apple's software, but will not import into Premier.  Found the KB on
    Error message "Unsupported format or damaged file" when you import  MP4 clips into Premiere Pro CS3 and changed the extension to MPG.  This got me audio, but no video.  The MPG plays correctly (audio and video) in Windows Media Player as well as in Bridge CS4.
    Windows Vista 64-bit, 8 Gig RAM, Intel Q9300 Quad Core Processor, GeForce 9600 GT video card w/1Gig DDR3 RAM.
    Any ideas?

    PrPro is pretty well centered on pro formats. Many find that other NLE's, designed for consumer cameras and formats, work better and some natively. It's a tough call. I love the interface and workflow of PrPro, and use it 99% of the time. However, with heavily-compressed, delivery-only formats/CODEC's, some other NLE's work better - to start. I use those as converters, or do batch conversions with DigitalMedia converter, but it's shareware, and not freeware.
    Some users want PrPro to embrace every possible CODEC and variation on each, with hourly updates, as mfgrs make changes, and others want it to only perform 100% with pro-formats and leave the consumer stuff totally alone - there is PrElements for that. Me? I just roll with the punches, and convert from X to Y, and edit in my chosen NLE. Kinda' the "Jimmy Buffett" of video editing.
    Good luck,

  • Importing mpg files into FCP

    A client brought me their external HD, and I am seeking to import footage into FCP. The video comes across fine, but their is no audio...what am I missing here?

    You can't work with MPEG files in FCP. Yours also have multiplexed audio which is why you can't hear them.
    You need to convert the files with [MPEG Streamclip|http://www.squared5.com]
    See my MPEG Streamclip tutorials: [Part One|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2059475&tstart=0] and [Part Two|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2070861&tstart=0]

  • [HELP] No audio track on imported MPG file into FCP

    I am trying to import a 1hr 50min mpg into FCP. If I open it in QT or even in Windows Media Player on the PC, it opens fine. However, when I import it into FCP, I get the video track, but no audio tracks. I am still rather new to FCP, so I am sure this is a simple solution. Please help.
    Thanks...
    Dave

    Welcome to the forum, David. As Wes said, you need to DeMUX the MPEG. There are a few ways to do this. MPEG Streamclip is one, bbDemux, another is DVDxDV.
    Good luck

  • Flash Source Files into Captivate 5

    Hello All,
    Need some help. I had some files developed by a client whom will remain nameless, and I promise not to mention anything about them because your experience may be better than mine. I have flash source files that won't play nice on this new LMS. I would like to take the source files and import the files into Captivate, so I can use Captivate to publish the course originally derived in Flash. Can someone explain to me how I can make this happen and maintain the functionality that I have in the swf files.
    Chris.

    So you have a course developed entirely in Flash and you have the FLA source files and want to import these into Captivate? If that is what you mean then unfortunately that is not possible.
    Although Flash and Captivate are "similar" you cannot import a whole FLA file into the Captivate authoring environment like that. You can import animations, widgets and relatively complex Flash stuff into Captivate by inserting this as an animation into a Captivate slide but not a complete course.
    If you want to use Captivate for your course then unfortunately you will need to create the course in Captivate from the start.

  • Trouble importing .MPG files to FCE HD

    I'm trying to import .MPG files into FCE HD, but I just get an error message "unknown file".  The same happened when I tried to import to iMovie.  The footage is from a friend's camera so I don't know any more details.  The files are codec MPEG-2 Video, AC3 and 720 × 576 if that helps...
    Would be grateful for any help!

    The files are codec MPEG-2 Video, AC3 and 720 × 576
    You can't import this into FCE or iMovie, neither application supports MPEG2 video.
    It would be best if you can find out & tell us the specific make & model camcorder your friend used.  And even better what settings he used in the camcorder when he made the video(s).
    Beyond that, MPEG2 files generally need to be converted to QuickTime, probably using Apple DV PAL codec (based on your 720x576 frame size, which is a PAL frame size).   You can do this using MPEG Streamclip + the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback component.   But be aware - it's important to know your geography because North America uses NTSC whereas Europe uses PAL so you can choose the correct codec when you convert the files & select the correct Easy Setup in FCE.

  • Problems importing Sony Handycam mpg files into Premier Pro CS4

    I'm investigating Premier Pro CS4 for video editing and if I can make it work okay then I will purchase the Master Collection. Otherwise I may go to the MAC and use Final Cut. I need immediately to edit files downloaded from a Sony HandyCam that come off in an mpg format I believe it is (MPEG-2). My understanding is that the Premier Pro supports the importing of mpg files.
    When I attempt to import one of theses mpg files I get the error, "Unsupported file format or damaged file." I know the files are okay because I can play them with Windows Media Player and have been able to edit them with Window Movie Maker. Now I need a more robust editing environment and am looking at Premier Pro to be the solutions.
    Has anyone had experience with importing mpg files? Is there a Codec needed? If so where can I get it and how do I install it?

    Adobe wouldn't help me on the phone, as I haven't got a support contract. Perfectly rational by them, just stupid.
    I've asked my software supplier to forward on some questions and a link to this thread to Adobe support and they should be looking at it soon.
    Also, there is another possible solution that might help those of you with full versions.
    There is some advice here on one way to give Premiere Pro the ability to import MPEGs.
    http://www.mediacollege.com/adobe/premiere/pro/import/mpeg-ac3.html
    This is very attractive to me - as I know the AC3 audio codec is used by my MPEG files and it sounds like it could be a solution. Of course, I've tried it, and I still get the same error.
    I ran the files through TSRemux and got the same 'file format not supported' error message.
    I've also been trying to import a .mov file into the trial version and I get the same error. Jim, would you be able to help me by saying in which other ways the trial version is limited?

  • Can't import mov and mpg files into cs5.5

    Hi
    When I import a mpg file into audobe premiere cs5.5. I get the message:
    There was an erro decompressing audio or video
    When I import a mov file into audobe premiere cs5.5. I get the message:
    Importer reported a generic error.
    Good news is, that I have simply imported both files in the past without any troubles. So I hope it is something very simple.
    Maybe I have somewhere codec installed in the past (k-light) and something now doesn't work that well anymore.
    But I don't know if I have done this anymore and a desktop search didn't deliver me any results.

    I've installed Premiere Pro now on a different windows7 platform.
    Still the same. Can't import the mpg file. Somehow the mov file works here so that is something.
    Anyway I thought maybe it is helpful to share some data about the video:
    Container:
    DVD "VOB" format
    MPEG-2 Program Stream << { 1 vid, 1 aud }
    Sys Bitrate: 10080 kb/s VBR
    Audio:
    AC3
    0xbd[0x80]:48000Hz  256 kb/s tot , stereo (2/0)
    Codec(s) installed (zegt Gspot)
    Video:
    Codec MPEG2  Name MPEG-2
    Codec(s) installed (zegt Gspot).

  • How do I import mpg files made by an old Sony camcorder into iMovie 11?

    How do I import mpg files made by an old Sony camcorder into iMovie 11?

    I had the same problem. Here is a very easy solution that worked for me.
    1- Open the .mpg video with QuickTime Player
    2-Go to file/export/ and pick the "Ipad,Iphone,Ipod Touch & AppleTV" option
    3-Save your movie with the option "ipod touch &iphone 3GS" picked
    4-Confirm by choosing folder of choice to save it in
    Now this new version of the movie should be able to be read in imovies.
    Hope that helps!
    Good luck.

  • Import a .MPG file into iMovie

    I have a lot of .MPG files on a disk that I want to import into iMovie.

    I cannot import these files into iPhoto or iMovie. I have downloaded VLC so are able to watch these files individually but would like to edit and join these clips to make one movie.
    1. How can I convert these files so they are compatible with iMovie / iPhoto.
    I have been reading all the Help / Forum discussion and I am now very confused.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    have you tried running them thru "Hand Brake" to convert them into mp4 files? Hand Brake is a free down load.
    i am a bit of a hack as well so this may or may not work. I am currently trying to find the right software to grab some footage from a commercial DVD for some personal work and cannot get it to work so i feel your pain.
