Importing Video stops at 19:56 every time

I'm having trouble importing video into iMovieHD. It will import in chunks of 19 minutes and 56 seconds and then stop importing. It's got to be some setting that I've got on, but I can't seem to locate it. Anu suggestions?
Thanks!

btw3000, what you describe is not typical, which suggests the problem may be with the video itself, not with iMovie or your disk.
Does the import stop at the same spot on the tape each time? If so, that suggests a defect in the tape. If could be a flaw in the tape, or a break in shooting the video, where user error introduced a few seconds of "dead" time. iMovie watches for that, which normally signals the end of the recording.
Does it work okay with other tapes?
If the import stops at IRREGULAR intervals, or the image shows defects, that might suggest dirty tape heads. Try a tape head cleaning tape.
When troubleshooting a problem like this, it sometimes helps to shoot 30 minutes or so on a new, unused tape. (But after using a head-cleaning tape.) Just let the camera record traffic or something. The video content will tell you whether everything is working. If the traffic suddenly stops with no brake lights coming on, the import failed.
If the traffic tape imports okay, the problem is not with iMovie, your computer, or your FireWire connection. That rules out a ton of potential problems, so it's a good test to do.

    Thanks for the reply. You have a lot of considerations before you.decide to purchase additional software.
    Great that the Photoshop Elements 11 Editor from Mac App Store is working, but I am not sure how that was integrating with Premiere Elements 11 Editor or will interact with Premiere Elements 11 Mac if you can find the latter for purchase online from Amazon or other. (I realize that the Mac App Store products did not come with Elements Organizer 11; whereas the Premiere Elements 11 Mac does.)
    If you want to add Premiere Elements 11 Mac to your computer, it might be a good idea to look at the tryout from the following web site, and then purchase from your selected vendor. The web site offering the 11 tryout does not sell the tryout as far as I have ever heard.
    Photoshop Elements 11 Direct Download Links: Free Trials, Premiere | ProDesignTools
    With this route you need to read and carryout carefully that web site's "Note: Very Important Instructions" in order to avoid access denied messages.
    When you purchased 11 Mac, you could even leave that tryout installed and just insert the serial number from your purchased 11 product in them to make
    that your working system.
    Please consider.

  • Any way to stop iPhoto from launching every time iPhone syncs??

    The subject posting says it all: Is there any way to stop iPhoto from launching every time I synch my iPhone? I've clicked this and that, checked this and that. I must be missing something so if someone could help, I thank you in advance.

    OR ... delete the photos from the phone after they were imported. If you want those photos to be on the phone, set them to import during a sync. Getting them out of the iPhone's "camera roll" album is the key here.
    An easy way is to set up a iPhoto album called "for iPhone" or something. When your new photos are initially imported into iPhoto they will be in the "last roll" smart album. Select them from there and drag them into your "for iPhone" album and make sure that album is selected to sync. Either check the "delete photos after importing" box in iPhoto or delete them manually from your "camera roll" album on your iPhone after the sync. iPhoto will not automatically open until you take new photos.
    Remember ... setting Image capture to not open iPhoto, as well as the setting iPhoto to delete photos after importing ... will apply to your camera or memory card device as well.

    This reads backwards, It is the other way as "Norton update is compatible with Firefox 9".

  • Why is Logic Express 8 keep stopping after 2 sec, every time I press play? Help!!!

    Why is Logic Express 8 keep stopping after 2 sec, every time I press play? Help!!!

    Its likely to be caused by Ozone5.. many people have reported that plugin is currently quite unstable and are awaiting updates from izotope to fix the problem... No ETA has been given by izotope for the fix however...
    Also several of your plugins are out of date (Zebra2, Clariphonic, Ozone itself.. to name but a few,)
    Finally, you are running an older version of Logic Pro X (10.0.3)...and  I would normally suggest you update to the latest version  but... if you have a USB2 audio interface do not update to 10.0.5 at this time.... unless you know it will work correctly with the new version of LPX.

    I am using a mac, and every time I turn it on, load the BBC website on firefox and then try to load a video there, firefox crashes. I select restart from the two options provided, and when it reloads the BBC page, I can watch that video and any other on the site without problems. Then, if I shut the mac down and turn it on again, the problem once again occurs. Is this just a bug in firefox?

  • How do I stop iPhoto from launching every time I sync my iPhone?

    I have looked for something in Preferences on both my iPhone's PHOTOS tab as well as in iPhoto but cannot find where to tell whatever I need to tell to stop iPhoto from launching automatically every time I hook up my iPhone to my Mac to sync. This is really annoying and I'd so much rather just handle anything like that via the iTunes interface vs. another window/program that has to operate to deal with stuff on the iPhone. It's INelegant at best and just simply a pain in the arse at worst.

    You mean I can use this Image Capture thing for moving stuff from scanners as well?
    You bet. Some don't prefer using iPhoto to store all imported digital camera photos or any such application (not sure why but to each his/her own) so Image Capture can be used instead which is a simple import/transfer application. Using Image Capture, you can download some or all, remove photos from the camera after the download process, select a default download location or create a new folder in the location of choice and use a chosen automatic task such as crop to a 4' x 6' which occurs after the download process is complete.
    A nice simple little application which has some juice for those who don't like using iPhoto or similar type application.
    I'm in the habit of rooting around the applications folder and utilities folder with a new Mac purchase so I was aware of Image Capture but I've always preferred using iPhoto for my digital camera import process.

    I have the latest version of iTunes 10. Can anyone help me with this issue? I'd appreciate it. Thank you in adavance.

    Just wanted to say that I have the same issue. It also crashes when I try to save files in other programs like IE or Chrome. objc.dll comes up everytime, and it's also related to the apple mobile device service, as the crashes go away once I turn that service off. Unfortunately, I have an iPad, and an iPhone as well, and I need that service turned on. I have scoured the internet for answers to no avail. So far I've uninstalled everything and reinstalled. Disabled all shell extensions. used the repair function on all apple software (found in add/remove software). I've even tried to use different versions of iTunes. Nothing worked.
    Here's my info as well, if it helps.
