Hello Kidboy,
How do I fix this problem??
You'll need to convert the MPEG video to DV format.
Find some more info in Dan Slagle's Unofficial iMovie FAQ: Using Mpeg (DVD) footage

and also Matti Haveri's website: How can I edit MPEG or convert DVD or MPEG to DV

  • Importing video help! Need Time and date to show up on screen...

    SOMEBODY HAS TO HAVE AN ANSWER!
    Okay, little background... I just got a new Mac book pro lab top. First time apple user. Difficult to learn, but learned fast. I am working with IMovie HD program, got the hang of it. I have a Cannon ZR50 camcorder, mini DVR tape. Camera has DV,S, USB, AV etc.. port outs. Hooked it up to lab top to import video to lab top to edit footage add sound etc... to later burn to DVD via IDVD program
    BTW: I used a DV to Firewire cable to load up footage.
    PROBLEM I AM HAVING. is when I'm importing my video to the computer, time and date stamp from my camcorder's screen does not show up on Mac screen. It gets lost when importing. How I view it on my camcorder (SHOWING TIME/DATE INFO ON FOOTAGE TAKEN) is how I would like to view it after importing it to lab top to later edit ad sound tracks etc... If I hook up my camcorder to a VHS or TV, to record on tape of footage taken, Time/Date stamp of footage shows up and records on tape with no problem.
    I spoke with a lot of people on this issue. Everyone refers me to someone else. I can't get an answer for something in my eyes is so simple. They all said " Why would you want the time and date stamp to show up on your footage anyway" Well I would like it to be that way. Topic got down to three things that might solve problem. 1. Need better video/editing software. 2. Need Digital Analog capture device. 3. Need new camcorder. I've been working on this problem for a day or so. It's getting rough for help. Any information on this problem would be great. If you need any more info on my issue please do not hesitate to Pm me. Thanks

    Hi SIZ4SK:
    Welcome to discussions!
    You can't do that with iMovie but you can with a bit of help from a third party...
    What you really need is this free plugin from TriX Software:
    DVFileDateCM

    Let me know if this helps or not.

  • Photoshop CS6 extended won't import videos, help please?

    Before I get to the meat and potatoes (details), I'd like to ask that you don't be an @$$ with your answers, please, if my friend is doing something wrong, don't just say "well, derp, you're doing something wrong", actually tell me what he's doing wrong so I can tell him and he can fix the issue. He'd post but he's having internet issues as of 10 minutes ago.
    My friend got Photoshop CS6 extended so he could do a few things with his photos, he also wanted to try out some of the stuff with the video editing, and since it's the extended version, it should (at least in theory) import video, right? Wrong, no matter what format he converts to he gets an error telling him he's using the right kind of document. I have seen the photoshop video editor, my friend has seen the video editor, but we can't get it on his copy of photoshop because he can't get a video to import no matter what format he converts to. Is there a way to fix this or has the promise of video editing in the extended version of photoshop just been a lie? I'm confused, please help.
    FORMATS TRIED:
    .3gp
    .3g2
    .avi
    .asf
    .DV
    .mkv
    .mpg (mpeg1 and mpeg2)
    .mp4
    .mov
    .mts
    .m2ts
    .ts
    webM format
    .wmv
    NONE OF THESE FORMATS WORK FOR VIDEO EDITING IN PHOTOSHOP CS6 EXTENDED. He can use it for photo but he really wants to try the video editor since he doesn't like movie maker and he can't afford any other video editing software right now.

    To see if there is something deeper see if the video plays in Bridge.

  • Importing Video Help (Final Cut Express)

    I'm trying to import video from my camera to my computer. I am using a cord that connects via my computers USB port. But for some reason it won't recognize that I have a camera connected. How do I make it so it will recognize not only firewire, but USB as well... Thanks

    *Maybe I don't have firewire*
    *but I had a crazy Idea that maybe someone here would be nice enough to help....*
    We have this crazy idea that you might want to tell us what cam you have with what ports, etc.
    Instead, you make coy little comments that provide no information other than you have a camera.
    If you want some help, why start by providing detailed information.
    Starting with WHAT CAMERA DO YOU HAVE?
    And why are posting in a Final Cut Pro forum if you have Final Cut Express.

  • Can't import video (.mp4) to itunes 10.5, pls help

    I can't import video (.mp4 & .mov) to itunes 10.5.2.11 (can't both drag & down and add file to library).
    I searched many ways to solve in google with myself , but still not work
    Pls help -.-"

    MOV is a container format which may contain all kinds of codec, while iTunes only import MOV whose video codec is DV, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264, or AIC.
    Even if the MOV meet the above requirement and supported and playable in iTunes, it will still fail to sync to iPod/iPad/iPhone/Apple TV if the MOV video does not fit the specification like resolution, bit rate, aspect ratio, size, and audio codec of the iPod/iPad/iPhone/Apple TV.
    In order to successfully import MOV to iTunes as well as sync MOV to Apple TV, iPod, iPhone, iPad, we have better convert the MOV video to a more compatible video format.

  • TS3634 Help, how to importing video in iMovie'11

    I am using the Sony Handycam HDR-HC 9
    OS X 10.8.4, MacBoo Pro early 2011
    iMovie'11
    I want to import the video shot with the Handycam into iMovie. The cable I am using is iLink to FireWire 800.
    When I put the camera mode in to edit/play and I plug in the cable I excpected to be able to import the HDV into the iMovie.
    It does not work, and I must say not any more.
    About 6 months ago I did import  video from the same camera to the sam iMovie Aplication on the same MacBook Pro
    I could chose the import from and select the Handi cam etc. and I cpuld control from iMovie the handycam.
    Recvently I wanted to import clips from the camera to my computer again and I was unableto do so.
    In the iMovie app. I am unable to select the camera, in the view finder of the camera it only shows HDV in when I plug in the iLink cable.
    The omly thing that has changed in the last 7 months since i last imported movie clips is OSX updates and iLive updates.
    could this be the reason?
    If so how can I correct this and import clips again from the camera.
    Will realy appreciated if anybody can help me solve this problem.
    Thank you.

    Ok
    I tried that but no go.
    In the handy cam viewer as soon as I plug in the cabe it shows HDV out iLink and immediatly changes to HDV in iLink. I assume that the cable is right than.
    I have no possiblety jet to check the cable but it is only 6 months old and not used much.
    The port on the MacBook pro is ok I used a firewire 800 external drive and it shows up an I can browse the disk.
    Regards

  • Can somebody help me? Can't import videos that are already on my hard drive

    i'm not the most technologically adept person. When it comes to iTunes, i plain stupid.
    for some reason i can't import videos on my hard drive.
    they are set to open in iTunes and if i double click on them, iTunes comes up and switches to the video screen, but it does not show the name in the list or play the video or anything. It's driving me nuts. Especially since i was considering buying an iPod video in the near future. But theres no point in even bothering if i can't get the videos into iTunes!!! If you know how to help my situtation or have any good tips let me know!!

    You do not use the 'Import' function under the File Menu to import P2 card content because the video content is still in its native form. For example, my Panasonic HPX 171 produces .MXF video files (amongst all the other files and folders within the overall heirarchy).
    In order to access the copied P2 information you have to Log & Transfer it, as if it were a camera plugged into the computer. This process then converts the MXF P2 files into a Quicktime format that the Final Cut application can read and work with.
    Take note that when archiving a P2 card as you did it is imperative that ALL the other files and folders are copied and saved. In other words, the entire 'CONTENTS' folder. It is this 'CONTENTS' folder that you navigate to within Log & Transfer when you want to import to FCP.

  • Importing video from hdd camera...doesn't work...help!

    Hello-i am not a computer guy, first of all. i just bought an HDD video camera, panasonic SDR-H40P/PC. I have no problem importing photos to iPhoto. However, when I try to import video, the iMovie quits unexpectedly every time. my wife has the same Mac and hers does the same thing. Do I need additional software? Am I just an idiot doing something wrong? There is a page in the camera owners manual regarding Macs, but no software came with it. Our operating system is OSx 10.5.6, whatever that means.
    Any help is appreciated,
    TOm

    I'm not seeing your camcorder listed among the compatible ones on this Apple list:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1014#2
    There would be no Mac software with the cam. If it is going to work, it is already built into the iMovie software.
    What does the manual say about use with Macs?

  • I imported video from a card into IPhoto and it plays in slow motion.  Any suggestions? Would importing into IMovie help at all?

    Hello
    I am importing video and pics into Iphoto and the video plays in slow motion.  Would importing in Imovie help or does it have something to do with the type of camera or file the video is in?

    It should. So they aren't shown in the Last Import smart album, right? Try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.

  • Aperture isn't importing videos from iPhone, only photos. I've tried plugged in and over wifi. Help?

    Aperture isn't importing videos from iPhone, only photos. I've tried plugged in and over wifi. Help?

    How did you transfer the photos from your other iPhone? If you did it by importing them from the old phone to a computer and then used iTunes to sync them back to the new phone, then you would delete them by syncing again using iTunes but this time change the selection of which photos are to be synced. Each time you sync using iTunes, it sets the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current settings/selection in iTunes.

  • FCP AVCHD import video too fast, audio off - help please

    Recently imported video from my Panasonic AVCHD HDC-SD100 into FCP, first time. I used Log and Transfer and I got all my clips imported. In the Log and Transfer window playback looks great, sounds great, everything fine - but once transferred to my browser my video is super fast making the audio and video out of sync, the audio is normal. I had to slow down my video speed to about 66% in order for it to match up (not perfect, but it works). Anyone have an idea of why my video is importing from Log and Transfer sped up? I would appreciate anyone's feedback. Thanks.

    hi.
    Sorry I can't help solving your problem, but you may do mine!
    tecs:
    FCP 5.0.4
    Panasonic HDC-SD100
    mac as seen below
    I do not get it done, to import vids at any way.
    Log and Transfer window tells me that there's no communication.
    but even befor that, I get a error message, saying the FCP can't load the "video-deck" (german! sorry!).
    so anyway....
    can you tell me what your settings are? like the exact configuration or the sequenze-, recording- and the device control-settings!!!
    I also couldn't figuare-out the difference of the camera-mod (when connecting to the mac) "PC connect" or "AVCHD connect". doesn't seem to make any difference in my case.
    So sorry for my spelling (no native!) and for the nubi-questions. but thats what I am...
    Your help would be great!
    Thanks!

  • When I import videos taken with my iPhone 4S to my Windows PC some of the landscape videos are upside down and all of the portrait videos are rotated 90 degrees.  It makes a difference depending how I hold the iPhone when taking videos.  Help!!!

    When I import videos taken with my iPhone 4S to my Windows PC, some of the landscape videos are upside down and all of the portrait videos are rotated 90 degrees.  It makes a difference depending on what position I hold the Iphone when taking videos.  Help!!!!

    Sometimes syncing will have problems with very large video files like this.  I'm not sure you will be able to overcome this, but if the videos are important enough you may consider purchasing 3rd party software such as Touch Copy to transfer them.
