Importing and viewing Casio camera .AVI movies

I have a Casio camera that takes MPEG 4 movies. I tried importing the movies using Image Capture and they show up as .AVI files but Quicktime 7 only plays the sound. Help?

Try playing them in the VLC Media Player at http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
I have a small movie camera that creates AVI mpg-4 files and I must use ffmpegX at http://homepage.mac.com/major4/ to convert them to DV Stream files for use in iMovie/iDVD.

I can't import and view videos from a camera.

I can't import and view videos from a camera. Even if I open the file and copy the .avi files onto the hard drive. I have tried iMovie, Quicktime, and Flip player. Flip player will open it but I only get the audio, Quicktime freezes, and iPhoto tries to automatically import only to then error saying the files are not compatible.

Hello Hese,
try the following:
1. delete preferences (com.apple.iMovie.plist) and empty the trash
2. repair disc permissions with Disc Utility and reboot your mac
3. use Diskwarrior or MacJanitor for disc clean-up
4. disconnect any other firewire devices
5. take off any non-system desktop pictures
If nothing else helps, you might want to consider resetting your Firewire port(s)

Can I import and view from a camara

I was reading on the new that there are a few ways to import pictures from my Canon G5 camera. The two most common are the Belkin compact flash reader, or the apple iPod camera connector (I think it is called). the thing that plugs into the ipod and the camera plugs in through the USB plug. Is there anyway to import and view the pictures in the field from the Canon G5, or do I just import them as data and have to go through the computer later. This would be on a 5G iPod. Has anyone had success doing this in the field yet.

Am a new iPod owner myself, but as I understand it, you can view thumbnails or iPod screen size renderings of the photos loaded into the unit. Suspect the functionality will depend on why you need to look at them and the level of detail required for your field work.

Having problems importing and viewing any kind of video file in iTunes 7

I just cannot seem to be able to do this. I have tried dragging and dropping files into iTues and importing files and whole folders of videos but nothing happens. Do video files have to be Quicktime format to be viewed in iTunes and if so does Quicktime Pro have a tool that converts other file formats to be viewed in Quicktime?
I would be really grateful if anyone can help with this.

Import, and interact with, Flash 8 movies in Flex3.

Hey gang,
I have a Flash CS3 App built with ActionScript 2.0 that imports Flash 8 SWFs. Those Flash 8 SWFs are each comprised of hundreds of movieclips.
I'm rebuilding the Flash CS3 App in Flex 3, and even though I can import the Flash 8 SWFs but can't interact with them (change their color, change their sizes, duplicate them, etc).
Before you tell me to convert all the Flash 8 SWFs to CS3/ActionScript 3.0 know that there are 700+ of them.
Tips? Tricks? Ideas?
A sample SWF (and source FLA) I'm trying to import into Flex 3 can be found here:

I appreciate your help!

ejl_70 sorry but is true you need flash cs3 to save in flash 8 in flash cs4 your only save as to flash cs3

Import and view AVCHD GPS information into FCP

Is there a way to look up the GPS information of AVCHD clips in FCP 7 that were ingested via Log and Transfer so one can see where the footage was shot. I have a Sony HDR-CX550v. I searched everywhere for an answer without success. Thanks for your help.

Checked our CatDV. Their GPS display capabilities are limited to the 3Gs iPhone at this time. No other video cameras are supported at this time.
I found one other workaround though. Use the Sony HDR-CX550v or similar camera and create a still image from the footage at each location. Aperture 3 can display GPS information from still images transferred from the camera. This way you can identify the location of your footage.

IPhoto 6 problem with AVI movies

I have about 6000+ pictures and about 500 quicktime (AVI) movies in my iPhoto 6 library.
MAll of the AVI movies that I had imported over the past couple of years show up in my library, but when I double click some of them, Quicktime loads up, and then just opens the generic quicktime window - and does not load the movie clip. If I get info on the movie icon, it says that it is an AVI file, the original size in mb's of the original file, says it is 640x480 resolution, but has little dashes when it comes to camera info. If I use spotlight to find the actual file in my "iPhoto Library" subfolders, I go all the way down to appropriate roll, but can't find the original file. I think I may have found some of them, but they are now listed as ".jpg"'s.
Some of the AVI movies do work, but some do not... I fear that it may be corrupted somehow. Some of the videos were of my mother from two Christmas' ago - she passed away last summer, and they are priceless to me! Help! Any suggestions???

I have SAME EXACT PROBLEM as described in the original post. Some AVI's open, some don't. Can't drag them out of iPhoto, can't export (as Original, when exported as Current they export just a small .JPG). Using NO 3rd party software, the only thing I did was "upgrade" to iLife 08. Have installed all recent software updates. Is this a known bug? Is there a fix coming? The properties for my .AVI's show a large file size (e.g., 100Mb), but haven't figured out how to get them out of iPhoto in order to view/manipulate, or use w/ iMovie.

RAW importing and editing

Okay, I know this has been covered countless times under different guises but I have a few specific questions/gripes.
I've been happily shooting away these past few weeks (Canon Rebel XTi, before anyone asks), and shooting RAW most of the time. Now I have continually imported and deleted (from camera) my photos into iPhoto, satisfied that it's importing RAW files correctly. Satisfied as when comparing the images to the automatically saved JPEG version the extra latitude is visibly obvious. Trying to open these files (.CR2) in Photoshop CS2 though, it says the file is unsupported (either from hitting edit within iPhoto, or browsing in Finder). Although importing the .CR2 files into Aperture 2 and Photoshop CS3 (Trial versions) they open as RAW. In addition though there are images that match the look of the RAW although they are JPGs.
What does iPhoto do to photos?

Andrew:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. iPhoto doesn't do anything to files when it imports. It just copies them. It appears the CS2 doesn't support that Canon's RAW file where CS3 does. Check at the Adobe site and see if there's a plugin for CS2 that will make it work.
FWIW:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Importing avi movies from my Canon camera makes iPhone crash

Every time when i make some movies with my Canon camera (Powershot S2 IS) and I want to import them, together will all my pics on my camera, into iPhoto it makes iPhot crash from the point where it is importing the first AVI movie it comes across.
Now I've successfully imported the movies onto my harddrive now using the Image Capture program, but still when I want to import the movies from my harddrive into iPhoto, or even when i want to play them in Quicktime, it makes iPhoto crash, and also Quicktime crashes when i'm trying to view the movie in there.
can somebody point me to an alternative solution or tell me what's wrong and what i need to fix in order to fix it?

Thanks. I'd love to install that one, but i've heard some stories that this piece of software does quite some harm to some things. I dont remember where i read that or what harm it would do. but i'm sure i've heard it someone say.
can you confirm this? or do you still very much recommend me to install this?

I have a Panasonic FZ38 HD camera. I can load and view my hd movies onto iMovie with no problems via my camera or a card reader. When I try to copy my hd videos from my old Windows pc to my new iMac, the picture speed has doubled but the sound is normal.

I have a Panasonic DMC-FZ38 HD camera and have lots of hd movie clips stored on my old Windows Pc using Photofun software supplied by Panasonic, which I want to transfer to my new Imac computer. I am able to copy my most recent movies that are still on the memory card from my camera onto Imovie and view them with no problems at all. When it comes to copying my old existing hd movies stored on my Windows Pc (and which are no longer stored on a memory card), I discover that when I view them on the Imovie, the speed has doubled but the sound is normal. In order to transfer my old movies I have copied them back onto a memory card (SDHC - the same card as previously used) and then put the card back into my camera and then copied them onto my Imac via the camera USB. I have also used a card reader but get the same result. If I view the same movie through my camera, or look at it on my old pc, it plays at normal speed. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening please?

have you read and watch the Tutorials..? :
http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#imovie
iM is a bit.. iffy, when it comes to the definition, what a 'camera' is. historically, only tape based machines were a movie-camera. nowadays still-cams allow movin' images too..
but, as mentioned above: the intended workflow is: material from photo cameras (even when they move) => import via iPhoto; material from video cameras (even when they don't move.. ) => iMovie
when the import is done, you'll notice in all iLife apps the 'media browser' - in iM09, on the very right, the icon with a camera on.. click it, presto, all (incl. your 'videos') your iPhoto Library at hand for usage in iMovie.

How can I view and choose photos before importing from a digital camera?

Hey,
I am using a Canon PowerShot A40 and I want to be able to (after I connect the camera and open iPhoto of course) view the pictures on the camera in iPhoto and choose individual images to import. I have 560 images, but I only want to import 3 (groan) and there seems to be no way to preview the pics before importing. So now I am importing 557 useless pics that I already have in my library just to get 3 more pictures! There has got to be a way to preview! C'mon Apple...
Anyway, someone please help me with this.
Cheers,
Josh

Oh, thanks Dave. I did not think Image Capture had even a useful function. heh.
Well, I used the "coffee" method (actually it was tea) and just deleted what photos I did not need afterward. It worked out, but I will use Image Capture next time.
No offence to Apple, but why the heck has Apple not included such a feature in iPhoto? I mean that is just common sense to include previews before you import God knows what, unless it takes a lot of work to make that happen for iPhoto. Windows makes it simple to preview and view images. O well, I am sure Apple will get it done eventually, but I shouldn't have to wait for iLife '08!
Cheers,
Josh

How do I download and view AVI Movies?

How do I download and view AVI movies? I tried Peruvian and it didn't work.

Since Perian didn't work, it's probably impossible. You may want to post back with the audio and video codec listed under 'Show Movie Inspector' or 'Show Movie Properties' in the Window menu, however.

How to import and run little movies made on my primarily still camera?

Camera: Sony DSC-N2
Makes besides photo's (jpeg) also mpeg movies (mov)
Could somebody tell me how to import and run them on my iPad2 ?

Hello,
If you want to import them into your iPad without using iTunes you can get an Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit. Otherwise you can first import them into your computer then from your computer to your iPad using iTunes. Once they are on your iPad you can run them from the Videos app on your iPad.
