HELP! How to import .mpg movies from a photocamera?

I'm trying to import mpg movies in Imovie, but it doesn't accept this format. I also tried to convert it to a mp4 file, but they are low res and I need high res (tv use).
Please help me out!
Thanks!!!

MPEG Streamclip (free) will convert MPG (multiplexed MPEG-1) files. As to resolution, you can re-scale the files during the conversion process but it merely increases the conversion time without improving quality. iMovie "08 automatically re-scales project files for display/export.

How to import MPG movies to iMovie

I have iMovie HD 6.0.3 on an eMac X 10.3.9. I want to edit my video clips taken with my small digital still camera. The MOV.....MPG movie files import import into my iMovie, but the audio does not import into iMovie. Is there anything I can do to get the audio from these small movies into iMovie with the video?

Importing QuickTime, WMV, and MPG movies

Is it possible to import QuickTime, WMV, or MPG movies into
Captivate? Or can Captivate only import FLV movies.

Hi again
I've personally not encountered a need for converting.
However, on her blog, Silke Fleischer (Former Adobe Captivate
Product Manager) talks about a converter that may be recommended.
It's called SoThink Video Converter and you may examine or order it
by visiting the site.

Why can't I import mpg files to convert to .mov files?

why can't I import mpg files to convert to .mov files?

You'll need to clarify your question. MPEG-1 or MPEG-2?
QuickTime Player X or QuickTime Player Pro 7.6.6?

How can i import mpg files in i movie

how can i import mpg files in i movie?

iMovie cannot edit mpg files, unles they come directly from a supported camera.
I would suggest that you use a free third party app to convert it.
Get MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5, which is free.
Drag you mpg clip into MPEG Streamclip.
Then, FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME
Choose Apple Intermediate Codec, and save it where you can find it. You should be able to import this file into iMovie, using the FILE/IMPORT/MOVIE command.
Note: If your file is an MPEG2 clip, you may need to purchase the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component from Apple. MPEG Streamclip will tell you if you need this. Don't buy it unless you have to. It costs about $20. You just have to install the component. MPEG Streamclip will use it in the background.

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

Playing mpg movies

What can I do to enable my iPad to play mpg movies that I took with my camera?

You should just be able to import those movies, via iTunes, onto your iPad (sync them on) and then play them.
So get the files onto your computer. Then import them into iTunes, then connect your iPad, navigate to the movie tab, choose those videos then sync.

MPG Movies

Is there a way to get an MPG movie into iMovie??

I am a novice and just want to edit my videos (.mpg, mpeg, avi) in imovie. imovie does not recognize these files, which I transferred from my pc. I downloaded streamclip, but all you can do is view a video.
MPEG Streamclip (free) will convert MPEG-1 (MPG extension on a Mac) as installed but requires the QT MPEG-2 Playback component ($20) be installed for conversion of MPEG-2 content. Like the MOV file container, AVI is compatible with iMovie '08 as long as the compression formats are edit compatible. (I.e., an M-JPEG/Unsigned Integer AVI will import but an M-JPEG/DVI ADPCM file will not.) Once again, MPEG Streamclip will convert these files if you have the correct codec components installed for QT (which Streamclip uses for conversions). This means that if you have WMV encoded content in an AVI file you have to have the WMV decoder. If you have DivX content in an AVI, you must have the DivX decoder (or the Perian codec package) installed. However be advised that not all codecs used in AVI files in Windows are available for the Mac since "official" support of this is container was dropped a decade ago by its originator. And of those ported over for Mac use, some only work under OS9 while others have not been recompiled for use on Intel based machines.
Other applications which can be used for conversion include iSquint (free for MPEG-1/2 conversion to MPEG4/AAC or H.264/AAC), FFmpegX (donation-ware), Visual Hub (pay-ware), and several others capable of exporting to DV, AIC, M-JPEG, Photo-JPEG, MPEG4, H.264, etc. Avoid Apple Animation and Apple Video as these compression formates wil import and edit but only export with a "black" screen at this time.

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.

Importing a movie into Keynote

I have imported a movie file (.MPG) into Keynote, and in basic screen view it looks and plays fine, but when I go into presentation/play mode, there is a green bar down the right side of the movie, which plays fine otherwise. I have tried switching movie formats with no success, and in Powerpoint I do not have this problem.
How do I eliminate the green bar?
Bruce Becker

Welcome to the discussions, Bruce.
The problem is that MPEG files in Keynote exhibit this strange behavior. When you say you've tried switching movie formats, did you export the .mpg file as a .mov or .mp4? That SHOULD solve the problem since the problem's only with .mpg files.
Another application you can use to convert .mpg files (and it's free) is MPEG Streamclip.

Either this program OR QuickTime Pro should allow you to export the file to a non-mpeg format.

IMovie doesn't import all movies from iPhoto - at least one solution

I noticed that iMovie 08 imported my movies from iPhoto, but strangely not all of them. A quick search of the support forums indicated many others were having the same issue.
After comparing file attributes of movies that were importing successfully into iMovie versus movies that didn't show up, I found that a rogue character ("&") was preventing iMovie from importing the file properly.
Renaming the title in iPhoto does not resolve the issue, since the file name (in Finder) remains the same. However, if I make a copy of that file outside of the iPhoto Library, rename it in Finder, then re-import it back into iPhoto, then iMovie will see it. I didn't rename the movie file inside of the iPhoto Library for fear of corrupting the library structure.
I found this to work at least with my .avi files. I still have the same issue as everyone else with iMovie not importing .mpg files that play properly in iPhoto.

Good thinking! The only way to change the filename in iPhoto is to export the movie file, import it back in, copy over comments, keywords from the old to the new movie, and then delete the old movie.

Mpg movie vs mpg movie file

I have used Clone DVD Mobile and Handbrake to convert my movies to ATV format. One shows the format as "mpg movie file" and the other shows "mpg movie". I had notice that of the 300ish movies I have, about 30% did not import in iTunes and all of these were one of the formats above. I'll have to update whioch it is exactly when I get home, but thought someone may know the difference.

They are "mpg video file" and "mpg video", Handbrake and Clone DVD respectively.
